BUG and suggestions (nothing urgent)

BUG (Tested in Chrome latest, 1366×768, Example page: http://inserbia.info/today/2016/01/serbian-police-vs-arab-refugee-children/):

– Header Style 8 (Hybrid menu 2) – When sticky menu is turned on, when user scrolls down and sticky menu appears, the mega menu is floated left instead center. Also, default logo space size (i think it was 250px) goes over first menu item and prohibits hovering/opening of associated submenu.

– After upgrading (Newspaper 3 to Newspaper 6) and turning on Ajax for page view counter, all page views reset to 0 views (30K+ posts). It is not big deal for me, but still … Example page had 50K+ views.

IMPROVEMENT:

– There should be a notice (maybe there is a one but I didn’t saw it) that users cannot start video in video post if default post template (site wide) is set to Style 7. Currently, only featured image (video grab) is present but there is no video file to watch (upgrade from Newspaper 3 to latest). Check example page.

– Changing default post template for all posts and single post is great, but how about changing default post template category based? I.e. I really like Style 7, but it is not good for my Video category, so I want to change ONLY in category “Video” to be default post Style 1.

– There should be 1 more field added for posts (where source, via, … is) and that is Photo credits.

– It would be nice to have (on frontend) for each post: Date and time published, date and time updated, click to get shortlink (if shortlinks are enabled).

– Add AMP support for mobile resolutions.

PERVERSION:

– Add HTML5-based Text-To-Speech library so we can have “Read me!” button on front.

Oh and one more thing I forgot: Theme font selection is really good feature, but it would be much more functional if there is a section where users can quickly choose basic settings (ie right after setup):

– Title (h1,h2,h3,h4,h5) font family
– Body font family

and if user wants to override this, they can use theme fonts section for fine tuning.

Hello,

1)Fort the first issue, we know about this bug and it will be fixed in the next version.
2)For the update from version 3, unfortunately the post views function was changed along with all the code so it this is likely to happen. It is like switching to a whole different theme.
3)The featured video option will not work on any parallax image post styles (3,4,6,7 and 8). It will work only on post styles 1, 2 and the video formats 9, 10 and 11. There is a notice about this here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
4) You can use the wordpress custom fields if you want an extra field: https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields
5) There is a solutioon to add the updated time https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-add-last-updated-time/ We already have this on our suggestion list
6) We do not have AMP support for our themes yet (we have not tested it) but one of our veteran users (Chris) made a tutorial on it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-getting-started-with-accelerated-mobile-pages-amp/

I have added your suggestions to our list (the ones we did not yet have) and passed them on to the developer team.

Thank you for your message and suggestions!
