Hi, I’m using the default Newspaper Pro demo.

Is there a way to change the font size and type for all the blocks on the homepage at once, without modifying each block individually?

Hi,

For newer PRO demos we used the global font options https://prnt.sc/QFL5Fc7xJ3rH which make it easier to change the fonts globally. But these options weren’t around for older demos unfortunately. You could create your own global fonts now, and set them for each element once. Then if in the future if you want to change them again, you only have to change the global font.

Help, the header of of website suddenly showing weird code.

Hi,

Usually, when this is happening it is related to a theme plugin that is disabled, please check if the tagDiv Composer and tagDiv Cloud Library are installed and activated.

If you need further assistance please contact us via email address at contact@tagdiv.com on our official support forum at https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/

Do not buy this theme if you dont want your site to be filled with malware and lose years of work and spend hunders more and countless hours to remove them!

We have several licences of this theme and all of a sudden all our sites are affacted with malware and start redirecting website visitors to illegal sites, and when we contacted them, they have provided zero support and actually wanted more money; they said

‘Hi, I understand what you’re saying and that’s what I did. I made an update with a fix so that the theme is no longer infected with malware, now if after the update you still have problems with the theme, it is possible that you have an infected plugin or wordpress. Also, in order to disinfect a site that uses our theme, its owner must have a license with a valid support period. We cannot offer free updates and support. Your support ended in 2022-02-17; Thank you for your understanding! Calin’

We have ended up hiring additional developer to fix this and all good now, but we have lost money, anger and prestige in this process. I wouldnt recommend this theme to anyone.

You can read more about this virus here, https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/thousands-of-wordpress-sites-have-been-hacked-through-tagdiv-plugin-vulnerability/ https://patchstack.com/database/vulnerability/td-composer/wordpress-tagdiv-composer-plugin-4-1-csrf-to-xss-vulnerability https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/16nlg60/wpzexit/ https://blog.website-malware-removal.com/9104

How this theme has 4.7 stars is beyond me. But, stay away from this theme if you dont want headaches later!

Shortly, not recommended, dont buy this theme, if you dont want headaches and virus later. Shame on this company to not only not offering any support to their customers who they let down, but also trying to charge extra money!!!

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us earlier this year regarding the issues you experienced with your site using our theme.

In your email from March, you mentioned that your site had been infected and referenced a vulnerability discovered in 2023. Please rest assured, that issue was resolved promptly, and an update to the theme was released at the time. However, it appears that your site was running an outdated version of the theme, which we subsequently updated on your behalf to ensure it was secure against this vulnerability.

At that time, we also recommended that you check your site for any remaining infections and advised that further assistance would require a valid license or support period extension, as your support had expired on February 17, 2022. While we went beyond standard practice by offering initial support to ensure the theme itself was no longer vulnerable, it’s important to clarify that cleaning infected WordPress installations or plugins unrelated to the theme falls outside the scope of theme support.

To draw an analogy, much like a phone warranty that expired two years ago would not entitle you to free repairs, support beyond the validity period of a license is not included. That said, we’re more than happy to assist if you choose to extend your license or renew your support period.

We also noticed a public statement suggesting users avoid this theme, yet it seems you are still actively using it (as seen here: – https://i.imgur.com/xMtqolt.png). We’d love to hear your thoughts and assist you further if needed.

Last but not last a new license costs $59 (6 month item support) and extending support for a license with expired support is 87.5% of item price.

Thank you for understanding, and please let us know how you’d like to proceed.

All the best, Calin, tagDiv team

Hello, Some of my products can have names written on them, and therefore, I want to add a field for entering a name to specific products. My product is this: https://ayatablewear.com/urunler/kisisel-bakim-cantasi/. How can I add a field where the buyer can enter a name for this product?

Hi,

For this you should use the custom fields on products – https://woocommerce.com/document/custom-product-fields/ this should help you to add the field where the buyer can enter the name they will like on the product.

I hope this will help you! Calin

Is Elementor or another page builder required for this theme, or can I use it with just the Gutenberg editor?

Hi, I want to know the possibility and the way to link Youtube shorts/reels to be in featured video and when we click the item then the short video plays in popup. Right now normal video URL from youtube is playing in popup but when i tried with shorts URL then it gives error. Or is there any other component for shorts if i am missing out.

Hi,

That won’t work unfortunately. The featured video must be an actual YouTube video, not a short or something else. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards, Simion C.

thanks for your mssg. Now after some hit and try, I am able to run youtube shorts in popup

Hi, I have two problems with the opt-in plugin:
  • 1. when I use stripe for payment it is possible to pay only with credit card or IDeal. It is not possible to use any other payment system (such as gpay or apple-pay), even though it is activated on stripe.
  • 2. BUG: when a user on the payment page clicks on the paypal button an empty window opens while on the checkout page the paypal payment opens correctly in overlay. The empty window prevents you from seeing pay pal that opens underneath.
  • Thanks

I send you a mail, tnx

I send you some mails :-D Tnx

We will respond to you by email. Thank you!

WordPress theme speed.

Optimize Page Speed ​​For WordPress. Google algorithms favor fast websites that provide a smooth user experience.

Next update speed could improve.

Largest Contentful Paint improve for mobile.

Hi,

So far we added a few options specially for improving the performance, and we will continue to add more. Specifically for mobile usually the results are better if the mobile theme plugin is used, or a simpler mobile template built with the composer. Like for example if you check our demo here https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_pro/ on mobile we use a simpler mobile page https://prnt.sc/qvkGJtUdyJe0 built with the composer. A mobile page can be set for any page, so can a mobile template (post, category, etc.) and sometimes it improves the score quite a bit. If you want we can discuss more, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com at any time.

After some of the last theme updates, content on my homepage just disappered. When i try to edit it, it shows this – https://prnt.sc/hx3YljXowQ7B Error at zones: 6(models) : 7(dom). The model does not match the content Current state has involved an issue. You could try an UNDO operation (CTRL+Z / CTRL+SHIFT+Z)

Hi,

Something must have happened. If there are major issues after updating, I suggest restoring a website backup. Then we will check the website a bit before updating again. But if you do not have a backup, then we will help make the website look as it did before. Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and let us know. We will need admin login for the website, possibly also access to cPanel.

Regards, Simion C.

I want to ask, can this be for multiple domains, or just for one domain?

Hi,

A license key is for one domain, please check the license terms here https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/regular As a note, if you need a staging/testing website besides the main website, the key can be used there as well. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Regards, Simion C.

Hello, I can’t find the top menu emplacement? it’s missing

https://prnt.sc/ug9kC3x4vlRy

Hi,

The method of setting the menu depends on the type of header you are using. If you use a cloud header template, then you can set the menu you want in the composer https://prnt.sc/dNPEowZ89H4o Or if you are using a standard header, then it must be set in the theme panel https://prnt.sc/ui8WidDeoayg These are the methods that should be used to set the menus. In case there is a problem, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to the website and admin login, and details about what you would like to do. Also we can check the issue with the forum account. Let us know.

Regards, Simion C.

Hi, Tank you for your assistance, do you plan to add Elementor as builder in the futur?

Unfortunately not. We provide our own builder, the composer. This is a required plugin, and most of the theme features and the rest of the plugins we provide, are related to the composer. In case you have any questions about using it, or if there are any issues, please contact us and we will help. You can send us an email at any time, or use the support forum https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/

Hello is this theme capable of replicating the professional directory functionality found on Houzz.com. Specifically, I am looking for features such as:

1. A comprehensive directory where I can create different categories and subcategories and where professionals (e.g., architects, designers, contractors) can create and manage their profiles

2. The ability for users to browse horizontally by slides like houzz.com, filter, and search the directory based on criteria such as product, specialty, and reviews.

3. A user-friendly interface like houzz.com for visitors to contact professionals directly through their profiles also shop their products with woocommerce

4. Showcasing portfolios, reviews, companies, services and ratings as different categories

If the theme does not currently support these features out of the box, do you offer any plugins or customization options to achieve this functionality?

I appreciate any guidance or recommendations you can provide. Thankyou for your time

Hi,

The website you mentioned is very complex. A website like that will take quite some time to build.

1. The theme has features for custom post types and taxonomies, and custom fields, which are required for a directory website https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-12-update-is-live-explore-the-new-features/ The architects, designers, contractors, etc. could be subscribers with accounts on the website, which can submit listings, edit them, etc.

2. The theme doesn’t have a slider like that, but it could be done with custom work. The theme has options to display filters, for example like in this page https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_job_hunt_pro/jobs/

3. That is possible, for example it can be done through a contact form, set to send an email to the author of the profile page. Like in the form from the sidebar of this page https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_doctors_pro/tdcpt_doctors/herman-rehema/

4. Creating the custom post types and taxonomies can be done with the ACF plugin. The templates for them can be designed with our composer.

Again, the website you mentioned is a very complex website, and it doesn’t use wordpress. I could say that our theme can be used to build such a website, but it will take a lot of time and custom work to have a similar functionality and design. There’s no way to know for sure that every single part and detail of the website can be replicated, because of the size and complexity of the website.

Regards, Simion C.

Hi Simion,

Thank you for your detailed response and insights into replicating the desired functionality using your theme. I appreciate the explanation and the suggested solutions.

Since there are different demos available for the various features outlined (e.g., directory listings, filters, and profile/contact pages), could you please recommend which demo would be the best starting point for building a site similar to Houzz.com? Specifically, I am looking for a demo that would allow me to implement the directory features, professional profiles, and user interactions efficiently with minimal adjustments.

Hello,

What you can do is to start with https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_job_hunt_pro/jobs/ demo, but you can start with any of them or you can create your own templates -https://forum.tagdiv.com/introduction-cpt-acf-newspaper-theme/ because the houzz.com site is quite different from our demos (it’s not exactly the same as that one, but just has some similar elements), but using templates for CPTs and custom fileds (using a plugin like ACF plugin, you’ll have nboth cpts and custom fileds) and you can achieve a website like that one.

Also, if you want a developer can do these things for you, if you want you can make a request for custom work -> https://tagdiv.com/submit-a-request/ and the team there will tell you how long it will take and how much it will cost to have a website like houzz.com

Hi, an issue share the links from post to facebook, the photo doesn’t appear and this is an issue we are live :/ https://wnn.cy/

I can’t say unfortunately. But we will take a look if there if there problems with the theme. Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to the website, admin login, and details/examples about each issue that we should check. Let us know.

Regards, Simion C.

Hi, i already send you an email from Friday. Please have a look and let me know

We checked the website, but so far we’re not seeing the issues you mentioned. The composer seems to work correctly. Please let us know via email if we should check something specific, or how we could see the issue happening.

Regards, Simion C.

How do i change logo? The logo is not saving from theme panel. Why is updates not saving from the theme panel ?

Hi,

For PRO demos the logo must be set with the composer, not in the theme panel. The PRO demos are all fully customizable in the frontend, using the composer. So for example edit the homepage with the composer https://prnt.sc/VLWG9BTybSK4 then click on the logo and remove the default text logo and set your own text or image https://prnt.sc/2qNgNFzvXKE9 That demo also has a SVG logo by default, please remove that as well https://prnt.sc/BAt_6FEyFRPG This has to be done for all 4 versions of the header There is also a guide here https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-logo-newspaper/

Please let us know if you have questions, or in case there is a problem. I suggest using the support forum or sending us an email https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/

Regards, Simion C.

Hello, i have a site with 9.7.1 version, do you think still working if buy and update with this new version? Thank you!

Hi,

That is a very old theme version. If you already have a theme license then you don’t have to buy the theme again inn order to update the theme. Simply download the theme from your themeforest account and install it on the website. It will have to be done manually https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/ And after you update please install/activate the standard pack plugin -> https://prnt.sc/b-BAwBCw9GPq This plugin is required for older websites. In case there are any issues or if you have more questions, please use the support forum or send us an email https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
