Hi, I have got our mobile menu working just how I want it, thanks to the new header composer in 9.5/9.6. One thing I can’t do though, is to remove the social media icons that are at the top of the mobile menu when it drops down. I cannot see a setting in either the TDC header panel, or in the Theme panel….Can you help?
Only other issue btw, is the very slow appearance of the header in desktop or mobile. The Theme panel version is very fast – the TDC version takes a second or more to appear.
Hi,
Please set this custom css in mobile css ->
.td-menu-socials {
visibility: hidden;
}
If there is still a problem, please provide me a link were I can inspect this problem, in this way I will be able to provide you an answer or a custom css that can help you!
Thank you for your understanding!

That fixed it – many thanks! Only remaining problem is that the TDC template header is extremely slow to load (like 1-2 seconds) compared to the identical Theme Panel header. It’s massively more functional, but it is only borderline usable at the moment.
You can look at http://www.ethical-intelligence.com site to see how slow it is (you can also switch back and forward between the two headers with the login ID I already gave you). . Any idea how I can speed the header up?
Hi,
Please follow our guide about How to increase page loading speed -> https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/
Thank you!
Hi, I am using pretty much everything suggested in the guide, via the Siteground (hosting service) “SG optimizer” plugin,including dynamic cache, image optimization and the following: Minify the HTML Output, Minify JavaScript Files, Load Render-blocking JavaScript Files Asynchronously, Combine CSS Files, Disable Emojis.
Note: I tried to use minify CSS also, and that screwed up the headers in the TDC mobile menus.
The Page speed analysis shows an very poor result of 17-18, and the following info: Most of the problem seems to be in the CSS. I don’t know how to do this for the complex CSS used in the Newspaper theme and headers.

Hi Calin, thanks again for a prompt response.
I have disabled my hosting cache plug-in (SG optimizer), and installed WP super cache as recommended, with all the recommended settings. There is a small REDUCTION in the speed score (from 18 to 15). It is clear that the cache plugin I was using before is at least as good, in fact slightly better than WP Super cache. The issue is ENTIRELY the TDC template loading. If you go to the site http://www.ethical-intelligence.com you can see the header does not load immediately, but the rest of the site, including the footer, loads more or less instantly. The TDC template takes a further 1-2 seconds to load. The issue is ENTIRELY with the header template, and not with the rest of the site, or the footer, or the caching. Switch to the old header (the Theme Panel version) and loading is MUCH faster. It is very frustrating that the TDC header template problem is not being addressed. Can you look specifically at the TDC header performance on this site?
