This does not work. I even tried !important, clearing cache etc. I’m guessing the problem might be that the search bar I want to change is inside a Widgetised Sidebar.
Could you please also address the question about changing the background for the word “Categories” which is shown in the example?
Thanks, Richard
Hi,
There is a major problem with responsive mobile version of the Newspaper theme that effects the page load speed and Google rankings. I currently using latest version (7.5), regenerated thumbnails and I thought it might fix it, but it didn’t.
The problem is that the image gets blurry and low quality in posts in mobile version even when I upload the image that is 400px wide. When I viewed it in my LG G3, the images in post (at least 400px wide) is of low quality. This wasn’t the case when I used to have Newspaper version 6.
The images should be able to get at least medium quality images in post images, but it doesn’t.
To fix this, you should upload image 2x the size. For example, if you have 400px wide image then you should upload 800px image to get it with good quality on mobile. WE DON’T want every image to be unnecessarily 800px wide image on posts. This definitely affects the site loading speed and eventually depreciates the search engine rankings.
You guys should do something to fix this problem immediately, or offer the solution get it fixed. You might suggest using Mobile plugin version, but it still it a mess, and the users has been getting a lot of issues reported on this forum.
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve just switched from Elegant themes and I’m having some difficulty with Page layouts. Right now i’m focused on the Home Page.
Images are skewed and not centered as before although I did the Regeneration. For example, the Combat Winter Skin image on the homepage slider is off.
Does the slider need to be so large? I would prefer it it didn’t take up the entire page. Can it be reduced?
When i try to to select a Grid Block, the images do not line up. I set up a separate row as an example. No matter the format i chose, the images do not show up. Sometimes there is gray space.
Footer menu isn’t showing up with the elements I’ve requested.
After the Tabbed Posts, I want my page to go straight to the footer but content is repeating
my website is http://www.hotcupofbeauty.com and i have taken it out of Maintenance mode for a few hours
Also, is the beta for the TagDIV builder still available? Is it better to use?
Thanks.
Hi,
We use the wordpress default roles and capabilities for users – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities So an editor for example should have access to other settings.
I suggest to disable all your plugins except Visual Composer and check again, may a plugin cause this issue.
Thanks!
Hello RaymondB,
Please check your sidebars in the widgets area and see if there are elements present inside them. WordPress will strip the sidebars of elements if special characters or language specific characters are used in the sidebars. When you create your sidebar, please only use standard letters without symbols such as !@#$%^&*()_}{L{“:>< Let us know how it goes.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi,
You can see which post style you are using here – http://prntscr.com/dj7h5f. Example: If you are using post style 5(single_template_5), you need to edit the file loop-single-5, as explained above.
Thanks!
I am using Content.AD ad’s – I have looked at the link you supplied for “non-adsense code” and then also checked the content.ad website and documentation but nothing says how to turn the code in to responsive code.

and here is the actual code
<div id="contentad170219"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(d) {
var params =
{
id: "81d28b1c-0f8d-47d1-95ad-2f35edfd67ff",
d: "YWxleHBvdWNoZXIuY29t",
wid: "170219",
cb: (new Date()).getTime()
};
var qs=[];
for(var key in params) qs.push(key+'='+encodeURIComponent(params[key]));
var s = d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.async=true;
var p = 'https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https' : 'http';
s.src = p + "://api.content.ad/Scripts/widget2.aspx?" + qs.join('&');
d.getElementById("contentad170219").appendChild(s);
})(document);
</script>
is there anyway to make this work I do not really want to remove the ad since it gets clicked on a lot.

My problem is with the display of other main categories at the place where you have highlighted sub-categories.
For example, if I have a main category called “News” having sub-categories as “Entertainment”, “Sports”, “World”. And another two main categories called “Articles” and “Photos” but both don’t have sub-categories.
News
– Entertainment
– Sports
– World
Articles
Photos
When I click on News, the sub-categories display horizontally below the main menu…as you illustrated in your recent response. But when I click on “Articles”, “News” and “Photos” appear below the main menu…as if “News” and “Photos” are sub-categories of “Articles”. The place is expected to be blank since there are no sub-categories for “Articles”. I hope you understand now.
I have been having tough time with it thus I am trying out the usage of pages instead of category display.
Noticing that when selecting a 3 column layout as a global category setting, every 4th row contains only 1 module.
Not sure if this is an issue that can be solved by adjusting theme setting configuration or if its a bug, but please see the following example:
http://staging.leadx.org/leadership-management/
A few related notes:
- Theme has been updated to version 7.5
- Can confirm that this behavior occurs consistently through at least 27 rows
- No child theme is currently being used
- Screenshot of Category global settings can be viewed here: http://clients.southriverstudios.com/leadx_global_category_settings.png
- This issue can be reproduced with every Article Display View that uses multiple columns (M1-M9)
Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I have two questions regarding this theme.
1) I put in block 16 in visual composer and in your screenshot example you emailed me it looks like this http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-16/. The problem with my Block 16 I put in has only the post thumbnail and post title. It has no date of post or excerpt at all. Why is this happening?
2) I want to update the theme but how do i do this? Will is disrupt the current settings I have in place right now with my theme?
Are all those images loading off wp.com using jetpack, Photon, or something?
Probably good to figure out what is loading that stuff and where.
In our case we have dedicated server where we can control all this stuff vs having it load off of multiple other people’s websites, where you are limited by their control.
The theme is not causing your images to load on wp.com for example, so you need to figure out what is doing that then adjust settings for same.
Yes; this is actually correct. This is why you see some big publishers with blatant sticky ads. Those generally get served through the Doubleclick (DFP) engine.
Although, to be fair, on couple of our sites we were doing that for a loooooong time with normal AdSense ads, just not making the ad the sticky focus; meaning at the bottom of the sticky bar, not the top, so that “focus” would be on the “related content” and then when you got to bottom the ad would be at bottom, just like it would have been anyway.
But it’s best to err on side of paranoia. Keeping in mind the actual revenue these days from AdSense is about 20 times less than it was due to ad blocking.
Consider using local hosted graphics for locally sold ad campaigns, and loaded from a normal folder not one called “ads” as possible revenue replacement strategy.
Food for thought … I’m not going to be around here in 2017 but just putting in my two cents while I still am. Happy holidays!
Hello @tahiryildiz,
You don’t need to use Glue for Yoast SEO plugin as All in One SEO Pack has Google AMP support (Accelerated Mobile Pages).
Well, you do have a variety of blocks available indeed. But none of them can cover my desired appearance. It’s like having a block 4 page with only two posts, with the first block taking a little more percent than the second. Say 66% the left block and 33% the right one. And at the second example 75% the left block and 25% the right one.
Also I would like to have a category page like that:

One post followed by ten other posts, and at the right hand side is the sidebar. But at theme panel options there is no module that could display content like this. I tried creating my own module and block to make it how I wanted, just like the image posted above; but I couldn’t make it work.
I can give you access to the site if you like to help us.
Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry for the delay but if you add reply(ies) to your own topic we will get later to you!
1. This is related to wordpress – https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/remove-the-wordpress-admin-toolbar/?wpcv=b&utm_expid=3606929-93.spVh-aR3SwGklKzL4HJQQg.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ro%2F
2. Please switch to a wordpress default theme and see how it goes. It is the same behavior, the theme doesn’t alter the plugin’s option in this regard. The user see the Visual Composer option but it doesn’t have any options if he doesn’t have the specific capabilities – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
3. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have a frontend interface to allow users to write articles. The theme uses wordpress functionality – https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts
Thanks!
Hello jb,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to change the standard search, sorry! Also, this type of plugin is not tested with our theme and we cannot say for sure if it will work or not with the theme and also, we cannot provide support for untested plugins, sorry! If you want to display more levels in our theme and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry! If you want to implement the Google Search to your page, for example, you should check this tutorial created by an experimented user, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-create-a-google-custom-search-page/
Thanks for your understanding!
OK so I am trying to optimize my website and after checking Pingdom I see this (right now just focusing on the Google part outlined in red)

I am wanting to combine the 2 Google fonts in to 1 request, after checking Googles own documentation I find this solution:

According to Google I can take the 2 requests
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans%3A300italic%2C400italic%2C600italic%2C400%2C600%2C700&ver=4.7
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto%3A500%2C400italic%2C700%2C900%2C500italic%2C400%2C300&ver=4.7
and do something like this I think (syntax might be wrong):
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open Sans|Roboto">
to produce just 1 request, but my question is where do I put that new code to make newspaper only issue the 1 request? Please help me, thank you in advance.
If you have trouble navigating in the theme docs here on the forum to the tutorials, here is link to my thread on optimization which can help you with some cool things for the functions.php file, such as removing query strings, emojis, etc. — easier to start on last couple of pages, frankly, than oldest pages — unless you want to
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
as one example
function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
if( strpos( $src, '?ver=' ) )
$src = remove_query_arg( 'ver', $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( 'style_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'script_loader_src', 'remove_cssjs_ver', 10, 2 );
this won’t help probably with anything loaded off your CDN if they insert versioning for “cache busting” … where versioning is intentional to force re-cache when changed.
So, you need to figure out settings for your cdn/caching setup, as well as something like the above for WordPress generated elements.
Again – neither is theme related, but hopefully this will help in some way.
That is not part of theme…. it’s inherent to how wordpress works.
Plenty of tutorials online for how to optimize your site.
For my examples of how to remove the query strings see my long winded thread in the theme docks > DIY / Tutorials > best of forums …
Basically you need to add a couple of lines to your functions.php file to remove “query strings” from your WordPress head/META data.
Also, if you’re using caching/CDN, most of the settings related to caching are in your caching/CDN setup and not the theme!
Good luck!
In my Widgetised Sidebar, how do I change the background color of the search button and of the Headers (e.g. Categories) ?

Thanks, Richard
Example: In my site someone searches for the following “battlefield 1”. First that the page of battlefield 1 appears and soon the articles.
Some CSS code to do this, First the page appears and then the articles.
Site: leveltoday.com
Come on please don’t do this to me again….I also had a problem with the code, but it wasn’t my fault as you can read above and now this and again. I followed everythign that was written here and it doesn’t work just like the code in the beginning.
The picture I uploaded is 1164×400, but it doesn’t show it completely: just look at the link:
1: Website where you can see how it is shown: https://goo.gl/b7Wdx7
2: The picture where you can see that it is 1164×400: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t9s45qm8bgv77kb/final%20fight%20championship%201164×400.png?dl=0
This is no custom work, I’m just asking what the dimensions are and you guys answered it, BUT IT DOESN’T WORK.
Please help me and have a look, the picture doesnt completely fill up the box while the dimensions are perfect.
Hello VSHoward,
Please provide some examples of your issues, provide your website URL so we can take a closer look.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello ahmedshawan,
Please keep in mind that our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to remove these types of sizes, sorry! The theme uses Blocks and Modules to display the featured images, right? So, the only method to disable the size of thumbs are from Theme panel, Modules&Blocks settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/x5ztLedId8X Also, if you are referring t this regard, here -> http://screencast.com/t/46510eFXukY
If is not what you mean, please provide more details.
Thanks for the message!
