Hello,
I believe I have finally designed a layout I like. There are a few small things that I cannot figure out how to remove…
How can I remove the comments icon from each post on the main page?
Comments Icon
How can I remove the author from each post?
Author Box
I added “Popular Posts” to the side bar but had to do 3 separate widgets so that I could have them display large images rather than 1 large and the rest smaller as the widget does. Is there a way to remove the preview text from them and only display title and date?
Popular Posts
How can I have this style of section rather than just a line with plain text.
Block Section Text
I cannot get the popular posts to show in the footer exactly like you have in the default theme settings. When I use the popular post widget (like on the side bar) it wants to show 1 large image and the preceding images smaller.

Hello,
You can disable the comment count on blocks from the theme panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/hAV68kP6
You can remove the author as well from the same screen
You can remove the excerpt from any block or module from the excerpts section. Add a excerpt length of 1 and there will be none shown: https://www.screencast.com/t/pbwAQmmHSc
You can change the block header styles from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/CeApfeKTNwlk
If you add a custom block to your footer, each one has it’s own style. You will see a list of each block and how it displays here: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ – https://www.screencast.com/t/Ll8POfBCYVe
Thank you!
Thank you. I do not have the “Global Block Header” under Block Settings.
Do you know why the images under my popular post category on the side bar is displaying different sized images? If there a better way to display popular posts? I am currently just using a random post setup as popular posts.
Thank you.
Hello,
The images in your sidebar are different because you use 3 different blocks on your sidebar https://www.screencast.com/t/vOIsGeMSY
Please only use one block and filter it to show 3 posts. That way you will get the same image on all of the posts.
Please use this lin to see the different blocks and how they show up on the front-end https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Thank you!
Thank you.
I deleted the other 2 blocks and have it showing 3 posts but it is showing 1 big image and 2 small ones. I would like all big images.
Yes, but not all blocks have the same thumbnail. Some of the blocks use one big thumbs and then multiple small ones like this one for example:
block 1: https://www.screencast.com/t/rurBtmCQq
and some use thumbs the same size like this one:
block 3: https://www.screencast.com/t/ZeZso137dRQy
Choose one of the 25 layouts that best fit your project
Thank you!
Do I have to test all 25 to figure out which one I need?
Hello sasquatters,
You can check our demo preview here -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ because there you will found all of them and there you can test how it looks on frontend.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello. Thank you so much for your help. I am so close to having this the way I would like it. Is there a way to edit the block header template? I like the one with the arrow on the bottom but I would like it to be all black rather than 2 toned with white.
Hello sasquatters,
If you want to customize your blocks, you should edit the theme core files which create this, like here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Fk6YDxpE If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you, because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
You could try this code, thought it is a lot of code, it is needed to make that block header style display the way you want – https://www.screencast.com/t/1KIqFlf7Nuh
The code must be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css
.td_block_template_17 .td-block-title {
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
.td_block_template_17 .td-block-title:before {
display:none;
}
.td_block_template_17 .td-block-title:after {
margin-top: 0;
}
Thanks
Thank you BOTH!!!
One FINAL thing, I went through all of the blocks and couldn’t find a way to center the post titles using the block style I am currently using. Any way?

I would like to have this view on the main page of http://www.sasquatters.com
Currently everything is aligned right.
Hi,
You can try a solution like this to center align the post title and the post meta displayed on the homepage for the module you are currently using
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NFYEzy3A
This code must be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css as well
.td_module_4{
text-align: center;
}
Please let me know if you would like something else, or this is not working for you.
Thanks
Thank you again for the help. I’m really only looking to center the title of the article and not the preview as well. Also, is there a way to also get the category down in that section and centered as well?

Hi,
If you would center just the title it would look like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/e2wwXYHKU
This is the code used
.td_module_4 .td-module-title{
text-align: center;
}
If you would like to center the title and the date
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Gdkd2pZ9sM you can try this code
.td_module_4 .td-module-title,
.td_module_4 .td-module-meta-info{
text-align: center;
}
The category tag displayed on the module is a bit tricky to position differently, because it has an absolute position, and it is always in the left corner. I could set a left margin, but that would not be the best solution, and it may not look best – https://www.screencast.com/t/jNdgjvCpx
Thanks
Thank you. That is fine. I will work with that I can get. Truly appreciate all your help.
Hello again Simion. I have noticed a weird issue with my bottom article bar. It is not properly displaying. Perhaps this is from the code you sent me?


Hi,
Yes, it seems the background-color is affecting the font color in the related articles section. This can fixed using the code provided below
– https://www.screencast.com/t/CPf6bDJzW
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8NLNsHdF
I have not though about this section when I created the code previously, hopefully this solutions works for you.
.td-related-left,
.td-related-right {
color: white;
}
Thanks
Again, thank you. This seems to solve the color issue but they do not appear to be centered. Any ideas?
Hi,
I could modify the margin on the titles to make them appear more centered, but they are already centered
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dqI0EzKA4Q
With a increased margin it would look like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/ws44oS0Rtz
You could experiment with different margin values until you achieve the desired look
.global-block-template-17 .td-related-title a {
margin-left: 25px;
}
Thanks
