Hello,
thanks for the template. But I’m with three problems. I need to change the size of the thumbnails, and I need them square. How can I do that? I tried but with no success. I don’t want to fake change it via css, I wanted to regenerate all of them.
Also, I wanted another help. I want to disable those excerpts below the titles in home and categories page. It breaks all the layout of what really is inside the posts.
And third, something special. Can you please give me some help on how can I delete the main classes of the contents that I won’t use in the style.css? The file is too big, and I saw several classes that I probably won’t use, but I’m not sure how to find them and delete safely. I’m using the News Magazine in Newspaper, and I’m only using the default home page, the style 2 post template, and category style 7. If you could give me a light I would appreciate very much.

Hello,
Our theme uses fixed thumbnails and there is no easy way of changing them. if you want to tackle this task you need to use the theme api and edit the size for each thumb: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/ Coding skills will be required for this and you have to edit the ss for the modules as well for positioning.
You can control the excerpt on every module in particular from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/S21NuYxz0v
The third request is very tricky to do as our css is indeed a it large (not as large as a multi-purpose theme though I have seen css of over 1+mb on those themes) I cannot rpovide any safe way of editing the style.css file and to remove any classes you do not use. most of theme are needed but you can edit out a few safe parts that you will probably not use. for example you can delete any plugins related code such as woocommerce or bbpress if you do not plan on using them. But you have to be careful as there are lots of css rules that apply to common elements so you might delete something you actually need by mistake. http://screencast.com/t/MwMFt5BZ
So you really need to know what you are doing before deleting any theme code as you may break the layout otherwise.
Thank you!
Hello Bogdan, thank you for the reply.
Just for further information, I wanted you to quickly give me directions on how to edit directly the original php for resizing the thumbnails. This would help me reduce the page processing time.
And about the excerpts, this solution you gave me is not working because there is no option to -remove- the excerpts and let only the title of the post, can you please give me detailed details to allow only the title to be displayed?
Thank you again.
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no easy way top do it. You need to define a new thumbnail using this method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbadd/ and then changing the thumb size for a particular module you want and then modify the css for the block. There is no easy code I can provide, sorry. The theme api system is for advanced users only and is not covered by the theme support.
If you want to remove all excerpts at once you can simply use css to hide them like so:
.td-excerpt{
display:none;}
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan
I have tried to use the custom code to remove all the excerpts but it is not working for me, is there any other way, or i am doing it wrong?
Hi,
You simply need to add the code in the theme panel->custom css box. If the code does not work, please provide an example of a spot that still has an excerpt so I can inspect it and provide the proper code for it.
Thank you!
