Hi Saurabh,

Congratulations for the wonderful theme. I have a question please about top navbar.

Is it possible to delete the right section of top navbar, so the left callout section to cover all the length navbar?

Thank you

Hello,

Kindly add the following rules inside WordPress admin’s Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.callout-right,
.cart-nav {
    display: none;
}

#callout-bar.callout-left {
    max-width: 100%;
}

Then click on “Save and Publish” button. This will make left callout section full width, and will hide the right side navbar.

Hello, I am trying to use Imagify app to optimize images to use webp image format. I am also using CloudFare. They replace tag with <picture> tags. Do you know if the theme will support that or will it break?

The second option replaces the tags with <picture> tags. This is the preferred solution but some themes may break, so make sure to verify that everything seems fine.

Hello,

The theme uses CSS selectors on img tag. The picture tag is a parent container in which we have ‘source’ tag and the ‘img’ tag. The CSS selectors may still work on the inner ‘img’ tag but not on the ‘source’ tag. Rest we can only know upon using the app. If you find any issue, kindly email me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will give it a try if those can be fixed.

hi.. hope you can help me with this.. you have the best theme ever and i am using it since 2015.. there is one problem that occurs on archive pages and specifically above some of the video type posts (on archive pages).. there is a link that says:

Deprecated: class-oembed.php مهجورة منذ النسخة 5.3.0 استخدم wp-includes/class-wp-oembed.php بدلاً منها. in /var/www/wp-includes/functions.php on line 4903

go to my website on this link (http://khabararmani.com/) and check the error there.. i have some coding experience but i couldn’t figure out what that problem is.

Hello Sevagb,

Thank you for kind words and feedback. The class-wp-ombed has been deprecated since WordPress 5.3.0. I will release an update to fix this issue. In the meanwhile, if you wish to fix it at your end, kindly edit functions.php file and look for this code at around line no. 1362:

require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-includes/class-oembed.php' );

Change this to:

require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-includes/class-wp-oembed.php' );

And save the file. This will fix the issue.

Hello SaurabhSharma, the header logo, in the mobile version is not shown. The word “Newsplus” appears. Am I missing something? In this link you can see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0qznz7j0324z2i/Screenshot_20200425-225501_Chrome.jpg?dl=0

Thanks!

Hello,

Kindly send me your site admin login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check the issue.

Thanks Saurabh, I did what you told me and it works

That’s nice. Thank you for updating.

Hi, I would like to show the menu in a single line. But the menu bar does wordwrap. Even though I removed the right side “Top Right Callout Text:” as empty, the space is not utilized. Could you please help here?

Along with that, the menu bar doesn’t work when I view it mobile. Appreciate your help and support on this.

Best Regards Gowtham

Awesome. worked very well. Thank you very much again.

If you can add login, bookmark, it would make the complete & perfect theme.

For bookmarks, I would suggest using a plugin so that the bookmarks are still available when you switch themes. Login is available in top navbar for WooCommerce. For normal login you can use a login widget plugin.

Hello SaurabhSharma, I have a problem. Take more than 5 years with your template. Suddenly the individual posts do not show the featured image. Instead on the home page image if it appears. I don’t know what happens, can you help me?

An example: http://www.emprendemania.com/guia-completa-prestacion-cese-actividad-covid-19/

Hello,

Kindly check inside WordPress admin’s Appearance > Theme Options > Single > Disable single post image. This option shall be un-checked. Then Save Settings and check the site. If this doesn’t work, kindly send me your site URL and login at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check the issue.

How to enable and support multiple author posting?

Hello Gowtham,

Multiple author posting is a WordPress feature and can be used on any theme (including this one). You need to create multiple Author accounts inside Users > Add New. You can assign roles such as Contributor, Guest, etc. depending upon the access right for that user. They can log in and create new posts. Then you will need to approve posts so that they show on archive and post modules.

Hello,

I have multisite installation. For some reason, on the main site the URL links are not clickable on DESKTOP in Chrome or IE but work on iphone; on the desktop they are not clickable on the right menu and main page but the top menu links are clickable.

https://www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com/

I tried to disable all extensions – did not resolve the problem. I then disabled NewsPlus theme and enabled default wordpress theme 2020 – all the links are clickable but of course the “layout” is gone.

Can you see what the problem. On the other hand, links are working on other subsites: https://www.newyorkurologyspecialists.com/bph/

Hello,

I just checked the site. One of the third party plugins or custom markup in main content or sidebar is breaking the float clearing CSS. This is why the links are not clickable. Kindly navigate to WordPress admin’s Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS, and paste the following rules inside the textarea:

#main .wrap {
    overflow: hidden;
}

Then click on “Save and Publish” button at the top. This shall fix the issue.

Regards

Hi. Thanks – this solved the problem. Do you know what plugin or what is the markup that breaks it so that I remove it? I tried disabling all plugins which did not help.

Hello,

Since disabling plugins did not solve the problem, it is either custom markup or invalid HTML. Upon checking in W3C validator, I get errors on your site. Though most of them are not related with breaking of layout, one error is duplication of body tag in header. See http://prnt.sc/rkhj4q . This could be breaking the layout. You can check by disabling the markup. (This markup should have been added via plugin or custom head code).

Dear Support,

i just bought the template and the demo data couldn’t be imported. Please help me!

Regards, Janos

Hello Janos,

Thank you for purchasing the theme. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. If possible send me site URL and login so that I can import demo data.

Regards

HI, please tell me, what plugins or extensions do you use for compressing and deferring scripts on your demo so that according to GTmetrix it shows A91 level? Thanks

Hello MaksimL,

I use BWP minify for combining CSS and JS files, and WP Fastest Cache for database caching. It is light weight and does only what it is meant for.

I get warnings if you want to change the website with the newsletter shortcut. I use the latest template version and PHP 7.3. Bug?

Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in …/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 316

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at. ..wp-includes/post-template.php:316) in … wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1268

Hello,

The warnings are shown in WordPress core files. Is the WordPress and theme updated to latest version? Furthermore, there can be an active plugin which is not php 7.3.x ready. NewsPlus is tested and compatible for 7.3.x.

Hi Saurabh,

I’ve added a custom post type that I want to look just like my regular posts. I’m using the full width (no sidebar) layout but my custom post type acts as if there still is a sidebar and only displays the content with 66% width. Is there anything in the settings that I’ve overlooked?

Hello,

The correct CSS would be the following:

.single-new-indie-bands #primary {
    width: 100%;
}

This will only apply to the Custom Post Type of new indie bands. Breadcrumbs may not work for all custom post types, as it depends whether those are archive enabled or only posts. The breadcrumb code of this theme is for standard posts. You can use Yoast Breadcrumbs and see if it works.

Custom separate settings for standard posts and CPTs is possible, provided, we know which CPTs will be used. There can be many, like, Products, Events, Books, etc. Each post type may have a different layout. If you have a use case in mind, do let me know about the required settings. I will see if those can be generalized and added in theme options.

Regards

Hi Saurabh,

unfortunately, that css didn’t do the trick. I also tried type-new-indie-bands which didn’t work either (it’s what I use for all other css on that CPT though).

What I’m trying to achieve for the archive page is a layout similar to the post slider: https://prnt.sc/qyutqd Perhaps that’s easier done in a dedicated archive-CPT.php file?

I managed to solve the breadcrumbs issue by replacing the theme’s code with the yoast breadcrumbs code in the CPT files (required has_archive set to true).

Hello,

I just checked the CSS for the link you have sent earlier. It works correctly. If using any caching plugins, make sure to purge all caches.

You write: demo imported from XML data which is located inside your main download/dummy_data/default/all_data.xml or pages.xml file. The instructions for importing this data are described inside the documentation/index.html file of main download. (Make sure you have downloaded “All files and documentation” zip file).

I downloaded the “All files and documentation” folder but can´t find the “download” folder in there?

Hello Adlernebel,

My apologies for the inconvenience caused. I have just updated the theme with addition of dummy data folder in main download. In last update it got skipped accidentally, and I was unaware until you and one of the buyers reported it to me. Sorry once again for the inconvenience.

Regards

no problem, thanks for your feedback… love the community that help together! Cheers

Hi Saurabh,

since the latest update, the theme displays the wrong title for some of my posts (main and child theme). Here’s an example archive page with four duplicate titles (“catfish and the bottlemen – fluctuate”). None of the posts should have that title, I’ve checked all database fields and they look alright so it must be something else.

https://www.indieisnotagenre.com/artist/catfish-and-the-bottlemen/

You can check the AMP version (handled via a plugin) where the correct titles are displayed:

https://www.indieisnotagenre.com/artist/catfish-and-the-bottlemen/amp

Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hello debjay,

The latest version 3.7.0 didn’t had any change related to archive titles. However, I will need to check your child theme files if any code is causing this duplicate title issue. Kindly send me your child theme in zip format at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. Or if you can send me the site login, I will check both parent and child themes. In the meanwhile, please also check by purging all caches of the WP Super Cache plugin (and/or any other such plugin installed).

Hi, How do I access the premade layouts? And I see at some pages selling themes you can get the demos implemented at your webpage. I really like the “Travel” demo and would like to know if it is a easy way to implement it to my website.

Hello emilengo,

Thank you for purchasing the theme. The demo layouts can be imported from XML data which is located inside your main download/dummy_data/default/all_data.xml or pages.xml file. The instructions for importing this data are described inside the documentation/index.html file of main download. (Make sure you have downloaded “All files and documentation” zip file).

If you find any difficulty in setting up the demo, please email me your site URL and admin login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will set it up.

Regards

Thanks!

Hello, how do I go about updating this theme without having to redo all my pages and setup?

Hello,

Updating the theme will not erase any page or post. They are stored in database. However, if you have made any csutom changes to the theme core files, they will get overwritten.

In order to preserve custom changes to core files, install a child theme of NewsPlus and place all your style changes in child theme.

In order to update the theme, you can either use Envato Market Plugin (for automatic updates), or manually upload the latest “newsplus” theme folder to /wp-content/themes/ folder of your website using FTP or File Manager.

Regards

Trying to update the theme using your instructions – I uploaded the Envato plugin. Connected via API. It shows that an update is available. When I click on “Update theme” I get this error: Update Failed: FTP hostname is required

Where is it trying to get the FTP hostname – it’s not in the settings and not asking me? I don’t see how to contact Envato – perhaps as a developer you have a way to reach them?

Hello,

From the “Help” tab of plugin settings, I see this point:

Check with the hosting provider to ensure the API connection to api.envato.com is not blocked

There doesn’t seem to be any link or contact address to raise a support ticker for this plugin. Kindly download the latest version of NewsPlus theme folder from your themeforest account’s downloads section, and upload it on server using FTPor File Manager. You will need to replace the following folder with latest one:

/wp-content/themes/newsplus

hi.. my site is in Arabic language and i need to change the “published date” into Arabic.. where can i do that. Also i want the site to show only the published date (not the time) and there is no need for the “last update time” either.

also i wanna ask if there is a possibility to make the post title and published date information to appear under the featured image. i used to do that before when i changed the source code in the file single.php.. but this time i want you to give me the correct code or option to do that.

Hello,

Yes it is possible to show post title and date below the featured image. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send yiu single.php file which you need to place inside the child theme.

Regards

Hello,

I see that the theme is using Google Fonts and FontAwesome. Is there a way to disable fontawesome. There is no point of using both for me at least – it seems to affecte Google PageSpeed ranking…

FontAwesome CDN 490 KB 45 ms Google CDN 282 KB 44 ms

Hello,

Currently the theme has option for disabling Google fonts.You can do so inside Theme Options > Custom Font > Disable Google fonts. I will add an option for disabling Fontawesome in next update. It will arrive at my earliest.

Regards

Hi Saurabh, I’ve noticed the logo does not have a provision for retina – is there a plugin you can recommend or will the theme support this in the future? thx. Chris

Hello Chris,

Currently you can upload a 2x or higher size logo in Theme options. It will be automatically restricted to the parent width of logo container, and will look goodon retina devices too. In next updates I will add an option for high resolution logo upload.

Regards
