Switching from DIvi issue

Posted in: Newspaper

So i’ve been using Divi, I have just bought this theme and want to update all my blog posts and use newspaper templates etc, when i try to use the edit template button on a post it says..’Please select tagDiv Builder Template from the theme panel or set a default template. The current page/post uses a template that is not editable.’

Please help me out here as this whole switch is becoming a bit of a nightmare.

Hi,

Not all post templates can be edited with the composer. The default post templates cannot be edited
https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/

Cloud post templates or any cloud templates can be edited
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
The post must first use a cloud post template before you can edit the template.

Here you can preview and even edit the available cloud templates for posts
https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
You can import any of them, use them as they are or make modifications, or create new ones with the blank template – http://prntscr.com/mgbga0

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks

Ahhh got you, thanks for that. One more question, i’m having some issues with certain images not showing up properly in my media library. Also, I had a block in my sidebar on my homepage which I had to delete because the thumbnails were sometimes missing upon page load. Has something happened since switching from Divi to my images? If so, can I sort it? Thanks!

Try to regenerate the thumbnails if there are problems with the images in blocks/grids and other modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/

This will recreate all the sizes needed by the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/

Also be sure to check the theme requirements guide
https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
In some cases problems with images in the media library were caused by low wp-memory or when using older versions of PHP. If you use an older version of PHP, try to use 7 or 7.1 if possible.

In case the problem remains in the website, a link to the website where the issue is happening would be helpful so I can take a look.

Thanks for that. I have a regenerate thumbnails plug in and have done that already. Images and video’s do seem very slow loading on my site now opposed to what they used to be.

If you could take a look that would be great

One tip would be that if you use flex blocks with smaller modules such as this one
http://prntscr.com/mgsmsb

Those modules will load a default thumbnail which is bigger than what would be needed for such a small module, you can select a smaller size for them – http://prntscr.com/mgspsa
This will reduce the page size.

There is a 404 error on an element, seems to be relates to a lazy load plugin
http://prntscr.com/mgswbl
The theme already has a lazy load function, if you use a plugin for this task disable the one from the theme because there could be problems – http://prntscr.com/mgsxu0

Great, that seems to have sorted things a tad. One more issue, having issues with the author box at the bottom of posts. Doesnt seem to be showing pics for each author?

Oh…my….god. Is this a joke? What is this theme doing to me? I’ve spent days working with this theme and it’s just not working. Nothing is easy. I’ve just spent over 5 hours trying to do a simple post. I could not get a simple thing like a spacing between the paragraphs sorted and now the whole post has just disappeared losing all my work!!!!!!!!!! I am not happy with this theme, it clearly doesnt work. Is there a way I can get my money back??? I bought this on Saturday just gone so hopefully there is a refund policy. I am furious.

What exactly happened and why did it take 5 hours to create the post? Were there problems with theme theme, or errors?

Were you building a post template with the composer or writing a post?

We can provide a refund if you are not satisfied with the theme, you can request it here

Certainly not using a post template just writing a post. Could not get spaces between paragraphs at all. Still having major issues with images not loading. Its just a nightmare and I wish i’d never switched.

i’m happy to try and make this work but i need to sort these issues out. Im having problems with spaces in post between paragraphs and struggling to get certain images to load.

Each paragraph (p tag) will have a margin bottom set by the theme. The theme uses a value of 26px
https://www.screencast.com/t/NYhsRZKH8N
A default WordPress theme adds a 4.5em margin between paragraphs
https://www.screencast.com/t/pNga3A77jVWm

To modify this default margin there is no setting at the moment. If a setting specifically for this is requested more by theme users it will be added.

However it could be done with a simple code in the Theme panel->Custom CSS section, with the value you want in it. For example this code will set a margin bottom of 15px to all the paragraphs in the post content

.td-post-content p {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}

Regarding the images, what exactly is happening? Where are the images not loading? A link to where the problem is happening would be most helpful. Let me know.

I can’t even edit the posts now because of this error….

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1449984 bytes) in /homepages/6/d741665740/htdocs/app748101859/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1889

One thing after another…..
