Hey , I purchased the NEWS MAG theme , it works great.
Just while Setting up , i m a complete non-techie guy and thus came across few queries , I M ON A URGENT NEED FOR THESE TO BE SOLVED , hence posting these together. i m priority wise posting my doubts below the UNIQUE POST & SMART-LISTS are the top to be solved ,Please help me out.

1. On my homepage , i have several blocks!
I have a BIG GRID >> all categories , which is sorting posts according to LATEST POSTS.
below that i have several BLOCKs which are displaying single category according to LATEST POSTs.
Now whenever i publish a post , it appears twice on the screen , once in the GRID and other in the catagory BLOCK.

check the screenshot : how to enable unique posts?
How do i enable unique post option in news mag , so i don’t have redundant posts on my homepage.

2.For some reason, Even i m unable to make Smart Lists, Read and Followed the documentation , but the alignment of the smart lists is not coming proper , It would be great if i could see a small video tutorial on your YOUTUBE CHANNEL on how to create SMART LISTS. Thank you.

3.I had seen in the template feature list that the theme has SEO support, How does SEO work, consider i have a post whose article is “15 THINGS TO DO IN A CAFE” , so how do i make sure that the user on Google search for “WHAT TO DO IN CAFE , CAFE , BORED..”

Hi,

1. If you don’t have it right after the Visual Composer settings you can enabled it from here: http://screencast.com/t/JOoTWenz then set it like this:http://screencast.com/t/xM66rzjlQQJ

2. We will consider adding an more detailed video tutorial about this in the future, until then please provide more details about the issues you have when using the smart lists and also provide an URL so we can check also check/inspect this if possible.

3. Besides theme’s implementation regarding SEO we also recommend the use of WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin and follow this guide for higher ranking for wordpress sites: https://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/

4. Please send your site’s URL so I can also inspect this and also provide a screenshot of the exact layout you have used.

5. Please use this guide on how to update your theme and use the FTP method and upload the theme files via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/

6. An contributor is only capable to add/edit and read posts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor so if you want them to also add media you should change the role to author or editor.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

thanks alot , it did help me!
still unable to figure out smart lists though and SEO !
would try the yoast plugin , but how does the theme’s SEO functioning works ?

i have few more queries buddy , again posting them here !

7. In the Pagination option of a block , when i select “Next Prev ajax” , i want the post to change automatically say after every 5 or 6 seconds , how can that be done or achieved ?

8. How to open a single image in a prettyPhoto kind of frame which is available in Image Gallery option ?
i have seen in theme sample pages , on clicking the image , the same image opens in a nice frame and on clicking the next button on the frame the post in the background scrolls up or down automatically. how to do that ?

9. Except the Featured Image , i can neither see the caption nor the description of any image appearing below it. It does appear for the images added in the Image gallery on opening them at the top of the image , BUT DOESN’T SEEM TO APPEAR WITH SINGLE IMAGES , pleas tell me how to fix this as the images are need to be given sources which i m entering the caption block.
10. How do i add a small Home button , in the top header menu ?

11. We also have this amazing feature of more article box , which pops in after certain pixels off height scrolled down , but on hand held devices like a mobile phone , this pop up covers the entire article , how do i disable this for mobile phones and tabloids and keep it enable for laptop and computer screens?

12. how if i want the More Article box to slide back away after staying for 5 to 6 seconds on the post page how would that be done ?

13.lastly , on my post page in the side bar , i cannot see the related articles which are suppose to come category wise , why is that happening ? url :

Hi,

7. It’s only possible with custom work.
8. After you added an image select image details – http://screencast.com/t/pnaCbHwOa
And activate “modal image” – http://screencast.com/t/sgtUk2GCIxFU
9. When you add a single image write your caption here – http://screencast.com/t/h9cAPoy4fkj
Result: http://screencast.com/t/iNExcrBw3UJ9
10. You can doit like this:
– add a link button to your menu, change the url to your main page url and replace the navigation label with an element which links to your desired icon – http://screencast.com/t/FASGk5tqwcR
– Use CSS to restrict the height of the icon – http://screencast.com/t/CkaVqiqXh2

<img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e1/Tokyoship_Home_icon.svg/50px-Tokyoship_Home_icon.svg.png" />

11.Please use this custom css to remove more article on mobile and tablet:

@media (min-width: 1019px) {
.td-more-articles-box{
display:none;
}
}

12. It’s only possible with custom work.
13. Make sure you set the correct sidebar and that there’s a block on it.

Thank you, Emil G.
