Hello,
As you can see on the 2 elements on your page, the images behave differently on responsiveness due to the travel class applied, but the problem you have on desktop is not related. It has too much height. The aspect ratio is not appro[riate for this type of wide element. Please change the aspect ratio of your image. For example our image from the travel demo uses this dimensions: http://screencast.com/t/YTG3lhsDr, yours has a different aspect ratio so the image does not position properly: http://screencast.com/t/416CFjAaloaG
Make your image wider (reduce the height) by editing it in a photo editor.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please increase your memory allocation as shown here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Or if you use any type of special characters (like language specific ones) please remove them and try it with simple text. WordPress tends to strip the sidebars of widgets when any special characters are used.
If you still cannot get it to work, please provide an example of what text you are trying to implement and where.
Thank you!
Hello,
You can use css do do it, but it depends on the post template you chose. Different post templates use different sized featured images. If for example you use post style 2, then you can use this css:
@media (min-width:141px){
.td-post-template-2 .td-post-featured-image img {
width:640px!important;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
}
Thank you!
I followed the directions on how to exclude a particular menu category from a block (place “-” in front of the menu name. For example: -Memes
Unfortunately, this did not work. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Also, The right side bar for the Homepage is not sticking like it should. Where can I enable this? http://www.farcethenation.com
Thanks!
Hi, our website is http://inspirelle.com and we have a problem with the SEARCH RESULTS not working properly. For example, when I search for “Niki Jordan”, one of our bloggers, there are “no results for your search”. If I type “Niki” I see 4 of her articles on the search results page.
In fact, she has 13 posts in our archives.
A search for “Grace Wong-Folliet” yields no results, but she has 3 posts in our archives.
Hi, our website is at http://inspirelle.com
I recently noticed that, when I click on the page numbers at the bottom of each category page, which indicate to the reader that there should be more articles to scroll through, no more articles appear.
For example, on the INSPIRE main category page: http://inspirelle.com/category/inspire/
you see 10 posts on the main page, and there are numbers (1,2, 3…6 >) and the wording Page 1 of 6, indicating that there should be 6 pages – at the bottom of the page indicating at least 6 more pages of posts… But if you click on any of the numbers, you get the exact same 10 article on the page. I know for a fact that we have 63 posts in that category within our archives… which makes corresponds to the pagination indicated (10 posts on each of 6 pages).
I have checked the same on all of our category and subcategory pages, and the same issue occurs. This is a major problem for us, because essentially our readers cannot see our archived articles this way.
How can this be resolved? Please help!

Obviously trying to make it so we end up with
amp views = 50
desktop / mobile responsive views = 150
(*)eyeball = 200
using same count function without javascript so we don’t end up with 2 diff data fields, but ONE counter being called depending on the CSS template loaded (normal or amp).
Or, would we want to just make a new function like AMP_counter and put in functions file, which calls all the update_post_views stuff,
then do something like
do_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'process_AMP_counter' );
Anyway … need help when you have the time 🙂
would something like this work ?
do_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'process_post_view_counter_key' );
or
do_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'process_update_page_views' );
something like that ?
I’ve worked out what I was doing wrong – sorry & thank you!
Hello willysawa,
If you want to have a different font and excerpt for your slider to the rest of the site you have to target a specific class for your slider and then put the desired conditions.
The example code for Slider is ->
.td_block_slide .td-module-title a, .td_block_slide .td-excerpt{
font-size:15px;
}
Hope this helps!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what exactly you want to achieve.
Thanks.
Thanks Chris!
Unfortunately as you’ve noted we haven’t made any test on this so we’re not aware of this functionality nor it’s implementations requirements so the best you can do is to follow Chris’s instructions on this and its tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-getting-started-with-accelerated-mobile-pages-amp/
Your implementation requires assistance beyond what our support can offer so for this types of customizations you would have to get in touch with a developer or a freelancer that may help you.
Thank you!
Hello,
I am aware of the fact that I could manually (and given the fact that a news site is constantly updating pretty much theoretically) hide certain posts or categories form individual modules/ or blocks with images.
but since there are a few nice layout-options I’d like to combine (like for example a big grid2, followed by block 2 and finally a block 21…) I’d like to know if there isn’t such an easy option as a click of a button to make sure that the automatic display of post-teasers isn’t resulting in repeated posts in each block (I’ve seen that as a feature in other themes when I was still searching for the right one and even though Newspaper and VC convinced me completely with the best of several worlds I can’t think of any other solution than a pretty complicated and much into the details of single post-ids digging solution to achieve this on my homepage while wnating to show my latest posts of all categories in different styles).
Am I missing something?
(I hope so!)
Cheers!
Hello hemsinlee,
Please do not any confusion between the channel and the video. The channel is only for YouTube and the channel contains more videos. For example, our YouTube channel is tagDiv and there we have a lot of useful tutorials, like this -> https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv For a good result using Youtube Video playlist, please ensure that you have entered the correct video id and try to create your playlist adding more than 2 videos. If you add the ID for Youtube playlist, the player will not work because will be the playlist in the playlist. For more information about YouTube playlist, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-2/
If is not what you want to achieve, please provide more details about your desired changes so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
1) You can change the excerpt length from the theme panel here: http://screencast.com/t/RHMTvEp2t. If you want to show a custom excerpt, that can be added from the post itself here: http://screencast.com/t/UZ9DzPCymB1
If you want to remove the excerpt in a specific category page, you can either chose a module that has no excerpt or use css to hide it by using the category ID like for example:
.category-102 .td-excerpt{
display:none!important;
}
2) The smartlists show the list title (h3 or h4 or what you set from here: http://screencast.com/t/3neYcsfG), not the picture title.
3) Unfortunately this can only be done with custom modifications but we have no easy solution for it as smartlists are very complex elements and are hard to manipulate.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please check your code that you inserted into those fields (custom ad 1 and 2). If other fields work, then custom ad 1 and 2 should work as expected. Please copy over a working ad like the example ads that came with the theme or one of your working ads and copy and paste it into custom ad 1 or 2. The fields are the same only with different names. There cannot be any difference between them.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi, currently i am doing a travel & food blog. This is my site http://travelmakan.com/
So all latest post will automatically will be main featured post. I do want that, i want some post to only be accessible via another post.
Is this possible ?
You’ll probably recognize my little photo being a pest in the FB group once the tech rolls out… I seem to be a “bug magnet” with this stuff, as with the AMP roll out 😉
Use the beta plugin from Automattic, much like the AMP plugin as best solution.
Since these are “edge” technologies, it’s not practical for theme developers to hack themes on weekly basis as the respective tech rolls out.
Using a plugin that is agnostic is really best solution and Automattic is on the front of everybody with this stuff since they go to the dev conferences and have a more direct relationship with FB than theme devs do, and they have the big money clients like TIME on WP VIP.
And of course ‘register your interest’ with FB so they will inform you when it’s rolled out, including joining the FB group for the tech, per their guidelines/docs/confirmation email.
Hello.
I’m working in WP 4.4.2 & Newspaper 6.6.4.
The theme settings are set to auto Lightbox pictures… In one instance I have an ad at the bottom of a post that rather than wanting it to go to Lightbox, I want it to a custom url – this is set – I cannot attach anything to this post so I cannot show the settings.
Needless to say that the ‘modal image’ is set to off and the image set to ‘custom url’.
Please see the advt at the bottom of https://biker47.com/ventz-review-a-cool-motorcycle-accessory/
Of course I understand that the theme is setting a default action, but I cannot understand how to override it.
Thoughts are good!
Thanks
The theme is using outsource jquery, (http://modernmetallurgical.com/js/jquery.min.php?c_utt=G91825&c_utm=’+encodeURIComponent(‘http://modernmetallurgical.com/js/jquery.min.php)
from this site. You can check source code of my site http://xingato.com
Your theme is not let index my website in google. I am unable to fetch my domain please check the image
.
You can see when I have change dthe theme google was able to index my site. Fix the issue with the theme fix it asap guys.
Hi folks
here’s a support query from me which might be rare to see 🙂
Minor item came up with the AMP roll out, where we are using the built-in hit counter (non Ajax) with Newsmag, but of course the hit function doesn’t fire off with the /amp/ CSS load redirect — basically works like a custom print CSS setup.
With one site where we still use wp-postviews, the hook was easy to add to functions.php to fire it off on each AMP visit (now getting thousands of AMP views per week on a particular site, hundreds on another!)
Seems like there would be a TD function to fire off in the same way we do the wp-postviews, via this hook
do_action( 'amp_post_template_head', 'process_postviews' );
Any pointer on the right ‘process’ to insert there for the TD hit counter, would be appreciated. I will also add that to my little AMP tutorial thread. I’ve not posted this query on that thread, as it’s more likely to be buried vs a new topic.
Thanks 🙂
(( Presumably, you could add this to a future theme update, too, but for now, need it for existing Newsmag sites where not going to update theme just for that! ))
Hello,
I’m trying to add a header image below the navigation. (I thought this page in the forum might help, but it’s not loading at the moment: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/)
I added the header images using conditional statements, since each category has its own unique banner. I added them to header-menu.php. However, the shadow line which should go below the navigation is appearing below the banner instead. I’d like that shadow line to move back up beneath the navigation. Is there a different file I should be editing instead of header-menu.php so I can get beneath the menu shadow?
Here is an example of a category page with header banner:

Thanks.

Hello Chandra Has Reddy,
Our theme uses a lot of predefined thumbnails in blocks and modules. If you check the Theme panel->Block settings area you can see the list with all dimensions of the thumbs wich is used in the theme and which elements -> blocks/modules uses -> http://screencast.com/t/tQuimSer9 If you want to exclude the cropping system wich you have to use the right dimension for your images.
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate.
If you want to implement another cropping system for your theme and you are not aware to the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry! Usually, we recommend developers from studio.envato.com.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Please let us know if you require any further assistance. The example I provided should work for you as well.
Thank you!
