Per our last conversation: http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/9512331/comments?page=112&filter=all#comment_11861245
I would like to create a transparent background, the same you have here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_travel/
Could you give me some directions on how to modify it?
Also, what is the best way to keep a Blog on the same folder (not subdomain) separate from the other sections of the theme. I would also like to have separate categories on the blog and a separate page that won’t interfere with the rest of the sections/categories. Does it make sense?
Thank you very much and I hope you have a nice day!
Thanks very much for your help!
1. This was a very easy fix and took like a minute. What I’d wanted was to have the copyright symbol first, then my name, and the dynamic year last. The code you gave me makes it (C) 2015 Dane O’Leary and I wanted it (C) Dane O’Leary 2015. Is there a way to switch the copyright text you input in the theme panel with the dynamic date I just added? If there’s no simple way to do it, this is certainly good enough.
2 & 3. I tried to gain access to the “parts” folder so I could change those bits in the php files, but I was unable to get that deep into Newsmag using the WordPress Editor. Is there a way to edit those using the Editor? Or will I need some type of special program to change them, delete the them, and then re-upload it again with the modified php files?
Once I can gain access to that “parts” folder, I have no doubt that I’ll be able to make those changes and we’ll be right as rain. Thanks again!
Hello,
I have a mistake in my category page lifestyle on my website.
Here is the link : http://www.capsule-collections.com/category/lifestyle/
I saw in my category page there are some posts in double. I check and this is the same post ID.
And in the backend WordPress, I just have one post for this name :
– Mariage franco-américain Dodocase et Edie&Watson
– Arc-en-ciel
There is no translation plugin. No commerce part. It’s strange.
Can you have a look please ? Or maybe it’s just an option ? What do you think ?
Bests regard.

But I do have pagination enabled. Works only on normal pagination, not in infinite loading or infinite loading+load more.
For example in http://ge2k.com/category/tecnologia/ I have 6 more articles than never show up.
Infinite loading is working fine in http://ge2k.com/archivo/
Is there a minimun of articles to display?
Thanks again!
Last time I updated the theme I lost some basic customization like favicons that weren’t maintained even after copying & pasting the backup text.
How can I update the theme without having to check all the site for this kind of stuff?
Dear tagdiv team,
I need some help applying the following changes to my site:
– removing the bar and the extra space on top of the Main Menu & Logo
– I want to add a hovering effect to the main menu, where the background of each button (not just by underlining it) switches from white background + black text to orange background + white text.
– I would like to make the two grid-images a little smaller, while staying center-aligned
– how can I remove the lines (——-) on top of the article excerpts on the main page?
– when disabling the visibility of date, author and comment count from the posts, how can I remove the empty space underneath the title of each article?
Here’s the link to my site btw: http://bit.ly/1Ytfdu8
Thanks a lot, I’m loving your theme 🙂
Hello,
You can probably replicate that on a page and place your sidebar using rows in visual composer, but for a post, the sidebar stays on top. The theme has no options to move the sidebar. The closest thing to the blog page you specified is this example using the classic blog demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_classic_blog/i-enjoy-my-hobbies-photography/ except for the sidebar of course.
Thank you!
Hey there.
This is not a coding related question but more of a legal issue that was brought up to us externally. We could not answer the questions by studying the documentation provided nor the forums. So we have to resolve to asking you (sorry for that.)
To the matter at hand.
Privacy regulations and laws in the EU and especially Germany have grown pretty stiff for website owners. It has become a necessity to know what your site is doing in regards of gathering and transfering user data – actively and passively – especially in regards of social media websites and networks.
For example, the usual Facebook-Like-Thingy offered by Facebook.com one can implement into her site is gathering data from visitors of a website even when that visitor is neither logged in to the visited site nor to Facebook. According to current laws and regulations in place in the EU and Germany websites must tell their visitors upfront about this in great detail. Further, websites have to offer means to prevent that (strict opt-in rules). Not complying to these laws and regulations can result in legal prosecution and fines north of the 10-grand-range. Not exactly something you’d really want to risk, let alone unknowingly.
You probably understand why we are really needing definite and final answers.
1.) Do the social media plugins and functions inherrited within Newspaper comply with current privacy laws and regulations in place in the EU and Germany?
2.) Do these plugins and/or functions gather and/or record and/or transmit any data anywhere outside the site that is using these plugins and/or functions from visitors of said website if the visitor of that website user is:
a) not actively interacting with these plugins/functions?
b) not logged in to the website where these plugins/functions are in use (“activated”)?
c) not a registered user with the associated social media plattform?
3.) In case any of 2.) a)-c) has been answered “yes”:
a) Which plugins and/or functions?
b) How to prevent that?
4.) If these plugins/functions are disabled via the theme panel do they gather / record / transmit any userdata?
If yes: How to ultimately stop that?
Sorry to bother you with this, but for us (and basically every other customer of your product in the EU and Germany) this is a matter that we cannot ignore.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
– Frank.
Hello,
Please check your social networks URL in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/GucgWxXI. This section does not work like the social counter. You have to add the complete URL in the fields for example:
facebook: https://www.facebook.com/midronepro
g+: https://plus.google.com/117601634667002127951
twitter: https://twitter.com/midronepro
You must include the https://
I hope this helps
Thank you!
I fixed #2. In the Newsmag theme panel, I changed the apostrophe in my name to &-#-8-2-1-7-; (without the hyphens, of course) and now it shows my name correctly… apostrophe sans the slash.
Still needing help with 1, 3 and 4.

Hi there …
For some reasons i had disabled the comments section for a while. But now i wanted to reactivate it. Strange is, that on a new article i posted today, commentbos is showing. But on all older articles – without any comment – the commentbox is not showing up. At least for me … 😉
Here is an example url: http://www.1-2-family.de/verbraucher/was-sich-im-kommenden-jahr-fuer-buerger-und-verbraucher-aendert/
The huge Headline at the bottom of the page tells ne (in german), that there is no comment. Which is fine but sad 😉 … But i would like to see the comment-box.
Of course comments are activated. Within wordpress – the themepanel and jetpack. All should be fine. But it isnt .. anyhow … 🙂
Best regards
Torsten
Hello
It seems that I have solved the problem after disabling some plugins. So, in this case, if I try active them again, will I get the same error? I need most of them. If it is a problem of WP super cache, could I change to W3 Total cache?
I have another general doubt about fonts. As you say in documentation, using many fonts could slow down the website. For example, could I change all default font family with just two styles and get good results?
Also, is it possible to change the size of articles titles on homepage? I can´t find the option.
Thanks

Hi,
How do I change the widget headers from black to another color?
See example (sidebar to the right): http://tinypic.com/r/rr8ex5/9
Thanks!
Hi
You could try the Font Awesome 4 Menus plugin to change the icons for post views and comments. To do that you need to replace this classes http://screencast.com/t/Z6cxu4kEVW with the ones for the new icons from the plugin like in this example: http://screencast.com/t/owlrveOY
Let us know how it goes and if this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hi
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an infinite scroll pagination for latest article section. This pagination is available only for blocks so you can duplicate this section using a block from Visual Composer. For example you can use block 6 with infinite load pagination: http://screencast.com/t/EKX3G6G67MO
Thanks!
Hello,
You can remove any thumbnail with css. For example on a block 8 you would use this code:
.td_block_8 .td-module-thumb{
display:none
}
You can then edit the particular block from the theme files and make it display time instead of date. You will have to edit the particular module the block you want uses. You can see a list of what module each block uses here: http://screencast.com/t/m6RuXVKut
Block 8 uses module 7 so we need to edit module 7 like so:
http://screencast.com/t/fvwfLBg5xS
<?php the_modified_time('G:i'); ?>
Thank you!
Hi there,
From time to time, I see some examples at websites, when you get into a single post, below you can find posts displayed in full, instead of related news thumbnails etc.
As an exampple, check out this site:
http://www.vocativ.com/news/263195/russian-airstrikes-inflict-massive-destruction-kill-scores-in-syria/
I think this could be doable in some way, is there a quick fix we can do this at php or do you know a plugin for that?

Hi there,
I’ve noticed that the CSS and Javascript are loaded on every site page as well as other all other plugin’s CSS and JS. It’s resource wasting because it requires several TCP connections at every page load and degrading this way the site load performances and the user experience too. Therefore I’m trying to deregister CSS and Javascript where not needed and to load them only on pages where they are needed. For example, since the Contact Form 7 is used only on the ‘contacts’ page, I’ve added the following lines to Newsmag-child theme functions.php:
add_filter( 'wpcf7_load_js', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'wpcf7_load_css', '__return_false' );
?>
Now, I should add the following lines in the page where the Contact Form 7 is used i.e. “contacts” page:
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'wpcf7_enqueue_scripts' ) ) {
wpcf7_enqueue_scripts();
}
if ( function_exists( 'wpcf7_enqueue_styles' ) ) {
wpcf7_enqueue_styles();
}
?>
But I don’t have a “contacts.php” page! So that where I have to add this code?
More in general, could you advice a method by means of which I can always include CSS and JS (mainly due to plugins) only where needed?
Thanks in advance for any appreciated help.

Hello,
The author page can be created following this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/author-card/
example: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/author/admin/
If you plan on using the css code above only for a particular page you can add the page it as a class in front of the code so it will apply only to the specific page. You can see the page id like so:
.page-id-148 .td_top_authors .td_mod_wrap {
min-height: 256px;
padding-left: 185px;}
.td_top_authors img{
max-width:100%;
width:256px;
}
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
I’m getting problems when I try to use the Media Grid module.
The issue is when I add images from the library (or uploading files):
if I add only 1 image everything works fine, if I add for example 8 images
nothing happens, the Add Images window stops working…
Hello tranhongvan2312,
To achieve a similar pagination you will need lots of customizations in theme’s core files and I can’t provide a quick solution now. You can use this example to customize the pagination on posts by adding this parameter: ‘next_or_number’ => ‘next’, here: http://screencast.com/t/hkqJljKyxr3 (remove this code if you want: http://screencast.com/t/87kGUcin5YQN – result: http://screencast.com/t/8THEIGR5) If you do not remove of this, will have this pagination -> Previous page 1,2,3,4,5 Next page
If you want a different implementation for pagination and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer from sites like, http://studio.envato.com/ to do this for you.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Right now I have the pagination for the latest article section of my blog’s home page.
How I can set up it with infinite scroll?

Hello,
If you do a quick search through our forum you will see lots of topics regarding ssl.
Maybe this will help you: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/moving-to-ssl/
here is a search example: https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/ssl/
Unfortunately there is no setting in the theme for ssl. It will have to be custom made.
Maybe these will help as well: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-ssl-and-https-in-wordpress/

Thank you for your message.
Hi please help
Some widgets that came with the theme show up when i visit the site but when i try to edit them under widget setting in wordpress they DO NOT APPEAR.
For example, the social counter on the homepage theme does not appear under widget settings and this is really frustrating and annoying at the same time, spent hours trying to sort this out.
