Hi,

I have checked your site and all seems to look fine, have you managed to solve this issue? The big image for the video post should look like it dose now, you need another post in the slider that will show in the right bottom corner.

Thanks for the message

actually i used a separate featured image of bigger size, thats why it looks okay now. But in its absence the video size is small. Does it automatically fits?

Also How to remove that “Continue” button from the posts?

Hi,

I have tested this and seems to work fine http://screencast.com/t/fc6fDUxWrF
Make sure you add the link to the video into the featured video field the thumbnails created automatically should fill the big slider containers like here: http://screencast.com/t/fc6fDUxWrF and you don’t need to add additional feature image.
Also try this if you still have this issue: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/

You can hide the button using custom css, add this into the custom css field in theme panel, like this: http://screencast.com/t/Xch5O2Ip

.home .td_mod8 .td_read_more {
display: none;
}

Should work like this: http://screencast.com/t/VCE1o1eAhb

Hi, that video thumbnail in slider is giving problem for one video
check the screenshot
http://www.screencast.com/t/V5FxvCEu6o4
Its working fine on the other slider, you can check the website
thatcoolwebsite.com

Also, i changed the Block 9 pagination to Infinite scroll, with Post Limit is 5. Now when i scroll down, the whole page whitens, as for the loading new posts. How can i change it to something like a text at scroll end with Loading or a progress bar like in case of infinite scroll.

Hi,

Are you using Jetpack Photon – http://jetpack.me/support/photon/ or a similar CDN plugin ? I noticed that your images link contain this resize=480%2C360 which makes the image link looks like this – http://i1.wp.com/thatcoolwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/hqdefault1.jpg?resize=480%2C360
Without this CDN the link should be something like this: http://192.168.0.70/wp_demo_009/3/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/maxresdefault41-745x483.jpg
I think this could be the reason for this issue. Please disable all plugins including CDN and then regenerate thumbnails https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ and also remove and add the link for the featured video again for that post.

Regarding the infinite scroll you already have an loading in progress animation http://screencast.com/t/zca13IONyC which it’s positioned at the center of the block.
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Yeah i get the infinite scroll feature but instead of progress bar on the whole page cant i use something more subtle, a progress bar just at the end of the page like in facebook..loading stories type.

Hi,

You could try to remove this code from site.js http://screencast.com/t/HdOcQaNldh
Then add your gif image here: http://screencast.com/t/QuxZ2IKE0Ji
Then check to see if it’s working.

Hope this helps!
Thanks

You could try something like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-slider-with-3-posts/#post-18950 or use that method to achieve what you want.

Hi Lucian,

Can you help me out on how to create custom blocks. I want something like an image tile with text on image. Also can you tell me how to customise the text on top of image, instead of default text background color, i can just use a text shadow or something. I want to redesign the homepage.

Hi,

Unfortunately the best I can do it’s to send you an tutorial on how to create a custom block, you can send an e-mail at contact@tagdiv.com specifying this on the subject if you want, other than that I can’t help you because we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.

Thanks for the message

Hi,

Replace this code: http://screencast.com/t/D1ZfjptV8dZ
With this: http://pastebin.com/BkYCia8w
Then use this custom css in theme panel > custom css:

#custom_text {
display: inline-block !important;
width: auto;
height: auto;
position: relative;
left: 45px;
top: -6px;
font-weight: bold;
color: red !important;
}

Result: http://screencast.com/t/vCYiM4in
Hope this helps!

Hi Lucian,

Really appreciating the full support from your side. I integrated the ads on my website thatcoolwebsite.com. The header ad is cut off. Though I am using the standard 728×90 px ad. Can you check it and provide suggestions?

In the youtube custom code you provided i am getting the following error-
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home/thatcoolwebsite/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_video_support.php on line 156

Hi,

Use the following custom css to fix the header:

@media (max-width: 767px){
.mobile-logo-wrap img {
top: 2px !important;
height: 100% !important;
}
}

@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1018px) {
 .header-logo-wrap {
height: 69px;
}
.header-logo-wrap img {
margin-top: 20px;
}   
}

@media (min-width: 1019px) and (max-width: 1200px) {
.header-logo-wrap {
height: 80px;
}
.header-logo-wrap img {
margin-top: 25px;
}   
}

@media (min-width: 1201px){
.header-logo-wrap {
height: 100px;
}
.td-header-bg .header-logo-wrap img {
margin-left: 67px;
margin-top: 28px;
}
}

Noticed that you have figured out how to change the background: http://screencast.com/t/t7GgF5vlI
Glad you did!
