Hi,
I’d really like to take control of the Category page using VC. Am I right in thinking I need to create an independent page and build it with VC, then create a 301 redirect with the original URL for the catergory page.
Example:
example.com/category – Original category page
example.com/category-new – Static VC built category page
Then a 301 from /category to /category-new
Will this have any negative effect on the site or the SEO?
Thanks
We have just noticed that since that latest update 7.2 our Smart Lists are counting wrong. Instead of 1-5 they show 2-6, or instead of 1-10 it is 2-11…
See examples:

https://www.deeperblue.com/five-alternative-dive-training-locations/
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi Catalin,
When replying to a long message thread I believe it is important to have Bogdan reply to me since he will understand the continuing issue. This is your first reply to me and you have misunderstood the entire problem forcing me to write again and kill another day. Just out of concern for your customers perhaps you could read the entire message thread first before replying to a customer so you can understand the context of our conversation. Just my opinion. This is especially important just now…the very absolute LAST reply from you guys that I needed since June 30th, 2 weeks, before I may have to delete my entire installation of WordPress and start from scratch with everything!
What happened is I uninstalled the Newspaper theme which had become corrupted soon after I installed it — giving me 404 errors on every page. SO I deleted Newspaper and reinstalled in. However, I never saw the full theme again…only an empty blog page:
http://rawfoodlife.com/wpress/
And here is what I should see from your theme: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I need to get back the full Newspaper theme, with the entire layout & dummy content, before I do anything else. If that is not possible, then I need to uninstall and re-install WordPress as well as Newspaper from scratch — basically killing weeks of work due to a BUG in Newspaper that corrupted all the Newspaper files — both the PHP and somehow, I think, whatever Newspaper stores in the WordPress database.
But before I do all that I just want a little more clarity with TAGDIV since that will be helpful to both you guys and me! I was hoping for a way to reinstall the Newspaper theme in my existing WordPress, both files and database, without having to reinstall WordPress itself from scratch, and then reinstalling Newspaper from scratch.
Hope this all makes sense and we can resolve this in the next email. Either there is a way for me to fix my current Newspaper theme — or — I need to go ahead and uninstall everything, the theme AND WordPress, and start over, destroying weeks of work. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Robert

Hi
The category filter works fine so please make sure that you added the correct id like in this example: http://screencast.com/t/KNQuek6dGIwV To hide the subcategories from blocks use this option: http://screencast.com/t/0rNxfmlppI
Thanks!
Hello MoschatoTavros.gr,
1)However, I suppose that this type of problem is cache or CDN related. Please try to clear all of them, purge CDN files if you are using the CDN system and also, please try to clear the server cache. If you do not have any access to do it, please request this thing to do from your hosting provider. Also, if your problem will still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect the issue. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can easily identify you.
2)I suppose that you want to display the ads after the main menu bar, for every post,page and category page, right? Please notice that our theme does not have such an option to add this but only with a bit of coding. The only way to add a banner ad above the menu is using the do_shortcode method which you will have to add in the corresponding file for page/post/category template. For example, to display the add to the category pages, can simply use a do_shortcode function in the category template like so: http://screencast.com/t/3AhOEXNl9lPl
<div class="mycustomclass">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
</div>
It will need a few css adjustments to remove the bottom margin and add a top margin for it to position properly so you can use the custom class assigned to the div element.
To affect the posts pages you will have to add the core file corresponding to post template used by you and then add the do_shortcode there, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/nbArnFDgR9yc
In order to achieve best results, please check your custom Ad 1 to have added a valid ad code in it, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ZwBAoy3zAKo
If you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
I am not very sure what you’re trying to do and what part of the site do you want to affect. Basically if you want to run php code must be edited the file which generate the page that you want to modify. For example if you want to change a post you have to edit the files corresponding with post template used.
Provide more specific details about what you’re trying to do so we can inspect it closer and maybe we can help but note that we can’t offer custom services for the moment. We can only point a way of how to achieve the desired result but you will have to implement the code.
Thanks!
Hello techsabi,

HI There,
LOVE Newspaper – for my Travel & Photography Site @ http://fodphotosite.com
I have hundreds of photos and am wondering to get the most out of the theme – if I need to INDVIDUALLY add each photo as a Post?
OR, is there any Bulk Photo method to display the photos perfectly through Newspaper.
What do you suggest?
I have many groups, and want to categorize each group out.
Look forward to the reply.
good afternoon! I’m updating this page of my site: http://mobilidadesampa.com.br/mobsampa-2 but when I view the page in the desktop version it is outdated and when I view the mobile version of it appears updated , you know where I can fix the problem ?
Hello Catalin,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have attached a sample of how I plan for my Sidebar widget title section to look like.

As for the second solution I will try it and report back to you.
Thanks so much, I am looking forward to hearing from you sooner!

Hello, I have two questions regarding the theme (which is great) for my site: MoschatoTavros.gr
1. Mobile theme appears in tablets too. I tested two tablets. The first one is chinese (Teclast) and the mobile theme showed right away. I suspected that it was due to tablet’s fault, as it is fairly cheap, so I found a Samsung Galaxy Tab to test the site too. When I logged in for the first time, the desktop theme appeared, I clicked on a post and everything was fine, but when I clicked on my logo to go to the home page again, the mobile theme appeared.
I’ve configured the cache plugin exactly per your instructions.
2. I want to put a 728×90 Google Adsense ad in every post, page and category page of my site, like the one I have in my homepage. I don’t mind the code whether it’s html or php. Is there any way to do it?
Thank you.
Hi, is it possible to remove text (example: “share on facebook” and “sahre on twitter”) from Twitter and Facebook logos on the top of an article/post?
G+ and Pinterest logos seems to be fine, the square icno without any text. That is the idea.
I´ve tried to change it on “Translations” menu, but I am forced to tip something.
Dear Sirs,
I recently updated the theme from Version: 6.7.2 to 7.2 and I am using the menu settings below;
Header Style: Style 7 – Hybrid Menu on right with logo
Top Bar & Menu – Off
STICKY MENU: Always at the top of the pages
I am also using the same CSS code you kindly sent to me on May 5, 2016 (see above), but the top of the menu displays a white space (please see: http://www.screencast.com/t/MwS9e8kc0). I removed the CSS code but the white space is still displayed.
However, on my local version of the site using the old theme (Version: 6.7.2), the menu is correctly displayed when I remove the CSS code (please see: http://www.screencast.com/t/M0cU45aF) and insert the CSS code (please see: http://www.screencast.com/t/neEI8pDOmyX).
Could you kindly let me know the best and easiest way to fix this?
Thank you in advance, and I look forward to our prompt response.
Kind regards,
Ernest
Hello nguyenxuan,
First of all, you will have to have installed the Contact Form 7 plugin. If you will import the Default Demo or if you had already on your side, please go to your pages and there you will find the Contact page which has the same layout with your example, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/OOJ68whDk5 and then you can edit this page as you wish, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/OOJ68whDk5 -> http://screencast.com/t/7pcJ3awku3
Hope this helps!
Thanks the message!
Hi,
For the events post template you have to change the condition. In the code provided above, there is a is_category function mentioned so it will only be different on that specific category. For your custom post type, you will have to search for a function that can target the event post type. For example the events callendar offers function refferences like so :https://theeventscalendar.com/function/is_event/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
Unfortunately our theme does not have an option to add icons for subcategories displayed in mega menu. To achieve that you will need some customizations in theme’s core files. Please provide the site’s url from above example so I can inspect its structure and maybe I can help.
Thanks!
HI
I can’t provide a solution at the moment as task involve some customizations but you can take a look at this link where we made an example for Linkedin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-a-new-linkedin-button/
Thanks!
Hello mpdimitrov,
If you want to add a table in Newspaper theme you will have to use a bit of HTML code for generating this.
As a hint, this is a table with some links which are added through HTML. Also, if you want to achieve the table using HTML code, you will have to consult this -> http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp and then you will have to add this snippet of the code in the core file according to header style used by you or if you want to add the table on your page, homepage, for example, you can use the Text block element from Visual Composer and paste there the code, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Vhw9OgaQbdn1 and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/LRG58Wux
If you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Can someone supply me or help me. What I’m trying to do is create a custom php template using the Newspaper styles and not use the visual composer.
Can someone supply me sample HTML code for generating tabs in the Newspaper 7 theme? or do I have to reverse engineer HTML generated content?
Hi,
It’s a bit more complicated than that upon inspecting the element closer, It comes directly from facebook within an iframe and an iframe cannot be targeted with css. As an alternative you can try to implement a different facebook button like this example: http://screencast.com/t/OegGtb7D
For this design, you have to do a few steps like so:
1) Select your button from this link: I selected small box count with no share option: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button
2) Press the get code button.
3) Add the first part of code in the header.php file like so: http://screencast.com/t/hVm8S5ifv
4) Use the second code to replace the theme code here: http://screencast.com/t/OfVUbEihz5
5) use this css to position it properly:
.td-classic-sharing li{
margin-left: -15px!important;
}
.td-classic-sharing{
vertical-align: top!important;
}
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
It depends on how you want to change it. CSS has it;s limitations. Maybe some changes will have to be made in the theme files. Please provide an example of how you want it changed.
Thank you!
Hello Sylvester77,
If you want to affect every post with your code, please notice that you will have to add it in each post template used by you, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/IwNk4F1E65m So, for example, if you are using the post template 7 to display your posts, you will have to add it in loop-single-7.php or single_template_7.php. Please notice that all of these changes involves additional customizations through the code and this type of services are not covered by ou support. If you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin,
This code worked for the home page. Is there a code you can help me with to do the same for all the other category pages that you can navigate from the header menu (Market Sectors, Payments & Remittances etc.). The website is located here: http://fintechroundup.com/ and these pages are set up as category pages containing posts in the relevant category rather than custom page we have created. Thanks!
Hello googmedia,
I have noticed that you are using the all of three way to shows the ads, like article top ad, article inline ad, and article bottom ad, from Theme panel. Also, I have noticed that you are using the ad to your top of your sidebar. So, if you want to get rid of one of them you can simply delete the ad content from your theme panel or you can use a bit of CSS code to hide it. -> http://screencast.com/t/2qmlmYDF2 -> http://screencast.com/t/hm6twiqP
For example, if you want to hide the ad from your sidebar, you can use the code below ->
.td-g-rec-id-sidebar {
display:none;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/MZoC8jJNLvOE
If this is not what you mean, please provide more details and exactly explain what kind of ad you want to hide, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
