  1. Do I need to buy 2 license for development and for production? Can i use 1 license for localmachine and once deploy to AWS can I use the same license?

    • Hi,

      Normally, the Envato policy allows using a theme only on one install. You can, however, use the theme on a sub-domain if you plan on creating a testing site, but if we are talking about totally different sites with different content, then only one theme per install is legally allowed. In your case, please note that you can use the same license for localhost.

      Thank you for your message!

  2. Hi, here is my website I am building with tagdiv.com. I have activated the theme as well. However, the author image and name is not auto generated on homepage can you please help me?

    • Hi,

      I have made a test on my website and it seems to return good results. Also, the Bold effect is working as well. If you need more assistance in this case, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further investigate it closer to your setup page.

      Thank you!

  7. Hi , i have a question,

    i want use the theme Newspaper 9 on WP with the plugin TagDiv Mobile Theme -> AMP but the plugin does not work on my WP.

    I installed all the plugins for the mobile and activated all that is necessary for the mobile in the settings, but when I create a new page on my WP, the page does not appear when I go on the site on my mobile. Can you help me ?

    Thank you

  8. hi, I am about to purchase the “Newspaper 9” theme – and have a question. My main goals are to achieve better styling for the individual blog posts and the different lists of posts, which I believe is a core expertise of the theme. But another critical feature for me is the use of a fixed background image, that the content of page “rolls over”. My current theme ENFOLD can do that, but only on desktop sites (not on mobile). Can you please let me know what options I have with newspaper 9 and mayve share an example or 2… for mobile? Thank you and best regards!

    • Hi,

      With the newspaper theme the post templates can be designed with our builder, the tagDiv composer. Here are some examples of post templates which can be used, these are designed by us but can be modified or you can design your own https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single they can be previewed and even edited to see what how they are made or experiment using the composer. Posts can be displayed in pages using blocks and grids, there are many types of such elements. There are also demos that can be installed, they can be previewed here https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
      A background image can be set in general for the whole website, or more specifically while editing/creating pages or templates with the composer. Most elements can have a background image set. if you would like to know more, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and we we gladly help. Let us know.

      Thank you!

  9. Hi, I want to buy Newspaper. This template really awesome and has so many features that I need to learn.

    Is it allowed to install without a license on localhost for learning, because I want to use the license for my main domain?
    I create backup on my localhost with xampp.

    Thanks, tagDiv

    • Hi, Jagad!

      Thank you for reaching to us and for the feedback.
      Sure, you can install the theme on localhost without activating it. We’re recommending this to new users – test and play with your theme in a safe environment before moving on your live website. Unfortunately, this will also limit your Newspaper theme as some awesome features – like tagDiv Cloud Library, elements, sections, pages, single templates – are unlocked on activation.

      You can find tutorials on how to get the best results with Newspaper theme on our blog, the Newspaper Theme Documentation and on our YouTube channel.

      To get help, please create an account on our support forum here. Our team is ready to assist you. 🙂

      Good luck with your new project!

  13. Newspaper 9 is really a tempted theme for me. At present, I am using another free theme on my WordPress blog. Making my mind up to buy this theme. Hopefully, I will buy it soon.

  14. Just want to say that we started our business with your Newspaper theme/template and 2 years later after using various other themes for other areas of the business, yours is the best by far. Looks the best and is so user friendly! Thanks for offering such a good product.

    • Hi Robin,
      We’re truly happy to read your kind words about us and our Newspaper Theme. Thank you for using our product for so long and for giving us your trust!

  15. Hi Tagdiv.

    I am considering buying this theme, but I want to know more about the “subscription options”. How can this theme help me get free and paying subscribers? Could you please link me or explain how it works and how it integrates with payment options for subscriptions?

    Best regards,
    Jonathan

    • Hi Jonathan,

      Thank you for your interest in our theme. Newspaper doesn’t have any options in this regard, as a paid subscription is not part of the theme features. However, Newspaper comes bundled with a custom newsletter plugin that can bring you free subscribers. Please follow this link to see how it works: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-newsletter-plugin/. If you have more pre-sale questions, or you need other information, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com. Thank you for understanding!

    • Hi,

      Thank you for reaching out to us! Since Newspaper is exclusively sold on Envato ThemeForest Market, one theme license is available for a single website. You can find out more information on this here: https://themeforest.net/licenses/terms/regular. If you have more pre-sale questions, please don’t hesitate to send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com, as the blog area is not assigned to the Customer Support Center. Thank you for understanding!

    • Hi Omer,

      Thank you for reaching out to us! If you buy a Newspaper WordPress Theme license you will get all the future updates for free, for a lifetime.

  16. Hi, I purchased the Newsmag. I started using tagDiv Composer and had some issues so I deleted it and reinstalled it. Now Hero element and some other elements are missing. How do I know I’ve got the latest version and if I don’t where do I get it from?

    Great plugin
    Thanks

  17. Hi Alina,

    I am an old customer. I never was able to set up your theme with a front end page or submission form for all my writers.

    Do you have a service or expert what can do that for me?

    Looking forward to your response,

    Lucy

    • Hi Lucy,
      Thank you for using our product for so long :). Please include this message into a new topic on forum.tagdiv.com or via email at contact@tagdiv.com and our support team will advise you. Thank you for understanding!

  18. Hi Alina,
    We are much interested in Newspaper 9 WordPress theme.
    But we don’t have credit card or PayPal account to buy the theme.
    We are from India.
    Is there any other suitable mode of payment.
    Have you got an office in India.
    Pls guide. Thanks…

  19. Hello. I really like the Book Club demo and would like to purchase it. However, I couldn’t find it in the Pre-designed Templates – tagDiv Cloud Library. Is there a pre-designed Book Club homepage?

    • Hi Sam,
      Thank you for your interest :). The Book Club demo comes packed with the Newspaper Theme, and you can import it with a single click, and customize it as you prefer. A demo is actually a pre-made full website design, which includes pages, posts, and also the homepage. Please follow this link – https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 to purchase the Newspaper Theme. If you have more pre-sale questions, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com. Thank you!

  20. Why is this theme not defined as “multipurpose” ?. Td composer is in better shape than others, although it lacks many features.

    • Hi,
      Thank you for reaching out! Our page builder is specially created and integrated with our themes, for the blog, news, and magazine industry. The tagDiv Composer is not sold separately and cannot work with other themes, as it’s bundled with Newspaper and Newsmag templates. If you have more pre-sale questions, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com.

  21. I have been using newspaper theme 2 years now and I am quite satisfied with its performance. Is there any way I can update my old version with the this awesome new one.

  22. HI, I’m in trouble so I’ve written about the problem, here
    the images in main page doesn’t appear or appear very slowly, so I’ve checked my Search Consol and I’ve found an error with my server which direct WP-content/theme/Newspaper.
    error name is ‘500’. I think this error occurs in Theme that I installed. even images didn’t index no more.
    if my thought is right, how can I solve this problem ? Do I delete this theme and then re-install ?

  23. Dear friends.
    I already bought your theme about one year ago, and finally found the free time to start my fitness project. Can you let me know for some details?
    1. When the header builder function will be alive, now the header building is limited. I think this is the last area, which can not be modified via TD composer
    2. The predefined areas, pages, posts in TD composer – is this final number or do you plan to add more full pre-prepared layouts? I would be nice to add more and more continously – you are professionals designers. Your results will be much better than mine.
    3.JSON – do you plan to add full JSON support, at this time I think it is not, I have better traffic on sites with full JSON structured murkup sites, than without this murkup. I mean in all areas (post, pages, everywhere on the site)
    Thank you for your opinion.

    Best for you, David

  24. Hi, I own Version 8.x of the theme, installed and currently updated … I’ve downloaded new V. 9 but, while installing it I get an error regarding the already existing folder where the theme will be installed. Is there a chance to have V. 8 automatically upgraded? Do I have to follow particular steps to avoid to crash the actual theme? Many thanks. Paolo.

  25. Hello. I planned to purchase your theme, but I dont know if it is possible to integrate theme with real estate system (any of available) which have front registration functionality. Additionally, I would like to integrate more functionalities like travel reservation etc. I don’t want to lose current page structure and only your theme satisfied me for now (no possibility to test 🙁 )…
    Than you

    • Hi Nele! We are happy you are interested in our themes, thank you! Unfortunately, we haven’t tested real estate plugins with our theme, and we cannot advise you if they will work properly. We have a list of compatible plugins – https://www.screencast.com/t/bxX6l10KHQs. If you have more pre-sale questions, please send us an email at contact.tagdiv.com. Thank you!

    • Hi Jayson,

    • Hello, I am looking to purchase Newspaper theme. I have 6 websites in total and I wanna know that if I purchase the theme can I use the theme in as many websites I wish to or I am allowed to use only in one website ?
