Hello.
1. i want to change font size and look of submenu title to look like this:
http://prntscr.com/8sw3ba
Can i change font size in theme option for this section or must change in style.css
2. On single post i need after date, to show published time (hours and minute) and i want SOURCE and VIA to insert under Post title, to look like this:
http://prntscr.com/8swa1c
I will use <VIA> to show source of the photo
actually, I tried this as suggested on stackoverflow but I guess newspaper works in different way, It didn’t work.
// use template_redirect action:
add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘my_redirect_to_post’ );
/// Function to redirect from certain category pages to first post of those categories
function my_redirect_to_post() {
if (is_category(‘3’) || is_category(‘5’) ) {
$category = get_the_category();
$posts = query_posts(‘showposts=1&cat=’.$category[0]->cat_ID);
if(have_posts()) :
wp_redirect(get_permalink($post->ID));
endif;
}
}
Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, reset your permalinks and clear cache then check those links, for example http://yoursite/about-us/page/5/ It should give 404 error.
Also please check if you have duplicates on your site.
Thanks!
Hello Paul,
You can add a block element to the sidebar. For example a block 16: http://screencast.com/t/f85wDwKFB, then configure the settings to it like title, category filter,number of posts to display and pagination (load more button).http://screencast.com/t/jDvj8vdb6h – http://screencast.com/t/gu75zK04xIa
result: http://screencast.com/t/wS81a5XVut7
You can read more about block settings in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hi,
1. Just set a description for your category(ies) – http://screencast.com/t/48oLwJpE3E and set style 6 for your category, also upload a background image – http://screencast.com/t/BhtuUzhR
Please provide a link so we can take a look if you have issue with this.
2. If you want to change the size of a specific thumb you have to edit td_config.php file. Here you can find and the thumb size that are created and used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/iN6Z1VaVqQw.
As you can see this size is used on more modules and blocks, so if you don’t want to change this for all elements, you can easily add a new size there(just copy all the thumb code and change the size) – http://screencast.com/t/sLm5MMcGf and use it on a specific module(for example module 10 is used on block 11 ) – http://screencast.com/t/SyNHPWYo Don’t forget to regenerate your thumbs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
The theme doesn’t have an option to change the background color for content, but on page content if you use Visual Composer pagebuilder you can add a background color to the row – http://screencast.com/t/szuzQftGrOm – http://screencast.com/t/Awsua5q1b1K
Thanks!
Hi.
In the example page for the tagdiv video category layout http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_video/ you can see there is a black background colour.
I would like to implement this but don’t know how. In the Newspaper 6 Theme Panel I’ve gone into the Background and Theme Colour section. I am only able to set a colour for the whole homepage. Is there a way I can set it just for the Category Top Posts area as in the example? thank you.
Sorry if I am asking for something I should know. I am getting there just need some help.
I found this in the newsnag panel theme Ads. Which is whats displaying in my newsmag theme header ads
<div class=”td-all-devices”>
</div>
I would like to put an ad in the same box. With a link that would go straight to the advert website.
For example the website address is http://www.hrpeopleafrica.com. I also tried to make the size of the image to display 728pix by 90 pix, as specified in the advert space but it was smaller.(I think I was very wrong)
My questions.
1. How do I generate a code to display in the header ad area as specified in the theme panel ads?
2. How do I get a proper size for images? for example using a photoshop to get the right image size for the ads in the newsmag theme header ad.
Please help

Happy weekend!!

Hey guys,
Great theme! Just had a couple questions…
1) How would I go about setting up category based images with the category text centered as seen here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/template-style-6/
When I add a background image in the category based settings, the image seems to be positioned behind the site and the area where the category banner should be remains white (with the text off to the left)..
2) I’d like to convert this site http://muaythaicampsthailand.com over to the newspaper theme. The size of my current featured images is 200×130, but the closest block to that size in newspaper is 218×150.. I would most likely be using block 15 with infinite load..
Is there any way I can override that 218×150 size and set it to 200×130 so I could avoid the hassle of resizing and re-uploading all my current images?
Also, the site is currently using a dark background..
Is that possible to replicate with the newspaper theme?
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
How do I delete or change the title blocks on the theme’s home page?
For example, there are colored blocks with categories such as “Fashion Week” and “Holiday Recipes” that I do not want on my site. How do I delete these?
We’re using Block3 on our front page to display 9 recent articles. See the section titled “POIMINNAT” on the right side at
The sort order used in the block is “Latest”.
But what if we would like to raise a specific old article (an article that is, for example, two months old) back to the section? How could that be accomplished?
Thanks again!
You can upload any image to your media folder, or ftp to a folder like /assets/ in your public root.
Docs for using non-adsense ads are in the theme docs, right side of the page under the ‘ads’ section.
to wit: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-other-ads/
so, by the example in the theme docs, for a custom ad using a local image you upload, you’d need to put in your own HTML code, as per the EXAMPLE:
Show different ads depending on the device:
* do not use this method for AdSense. This is just for custom ads. For AdSense just paste your full code in the box 🙂 and customize the ad via the on of switches and the predefined sizes.
<div class="td-visible-desktop">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on desktops -->
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-landscape">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on tablets in landscape orientation -->
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-portrait">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on tablets in portrait orientation -->
</div>
<div class="td-visible-phone">
<!-- Your NON AdSense code here - this ad will show only on phones -->
</div>
Hi guys,
I just wanted to say thank you for the new NewsPaper theme. I was finally able to install it on my local copy of my website after battling a difficult DesktopServer & Duplicator issue. I’m enjoying seeing all the extensive upgrades you did, and I’m currently creating customizations using my Child theme. I’m looking forward to improving my site with your many upgrades.
Also, thank you for the support. It’s very refreshing to find such great support and such an active community for a theme.
Anyway, thank you again, great job on the new theme and thank you for all your support!

Hello, I have a custom ad unit that displays after the first four articles are shown. For desktop I have the google adsense size at 580 x 400. Now here is the problem, there is too much white spacing for my liking. Here is a link to two examples:
This one isn’t terrible, but I would like to shrink it down
http://s28.postimg.org/mj71fc1dp/image.png
This is horrible!
http://s18.postimg.org/8v8lgmbhl/image.png
Now if this helps, I have deactivated Visual Composer but activated the shim. I can re-activate it if this needs to be done to make changes, however I can’t leave it installed as it slows the site down.
Thanks for reading and I will be awaiting your reply.
For example, if I put this (<i class=”fa fa-phone”></i>) nothing comes. Many thanks friends.

not getting how to solve this
if anybody can help me out in this
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option to have a different module for mobile device. The module you set for Latest Articles loop will be used also on mobile.
What module you use there? For example module 11 will a have similar look on mobile device – http://screencast.com/t/10KEXFimxH – http://screencast.com/t/VjLGAL4kg – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/module-11-layout/
Thanks!
Hi,
If you use Visual Composer to create your page, you can use Widgetised Sidebar block to display your custom sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/QgjXE99zqzw5 as the sidebar is added automatically only if you don’t use VC pagebuilder.
If you need this, you can switch to PageBuilder with title template which allows you to set the sidebar from Page Settings – http://screencast.com/t/6Wklpgg3e – http://screencast.com/t/ufa8te8Ijz
But you need to be careful how you add blocks to the page if you use this template, for example Big Grid can be used only on full row width(so you cannot use it on this template only if you don’t use sidebar) – http://screencast.com/t/3cz3DtNHnlT – http://screencast.com/t/Oinr6S3zvLT
On posts you can select a custom sidebar.
– It can be set globally (to all posts) from Theme Panel -> Template Settings -> Blog and post settings – http://screencast.com/t/FBCaRUVYe2
– On each category, this will override the global settings and the posts included in the category will inherit the settings from here – http://screencast.com/t/j7J0vtEBti
– And it can be set individually on each post (overrides global and category settings) – http://screencast.com/t/DhiJ3uqcr
Hope this helps!
Hello,
The design can be replicated but you need a bit of CSS coding to pull it off. You can set background colors to transparent from the theme panel to every element: http://screencast.com/t/Lzn2C640NX
Then you can create a blank page in visual composer and set it as a homepage. Then you need to identify the page id so you can modify just the one page http://screencast.com/t/Qq9WvQ3BgV4
Then you can start to create your css code like so:
.page-id-2 .td-sub-footer-container{
display:none;
}
.page-id-2 .td-footer-wrapper{
display:none
}
.page-id-2 .td-main-content-wrap{
display:none
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/85HvlJCA9
This code will need adjustments but it is an example of how it can be done. If you cannot manage to build the css code on your own, you can hire a freelancer to do it for you as we cannot provide any custom work at the moment. We try to help set people on the right path.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
There are the me messages required to intall two plugins.
Forexample : http://i.imgur.com/TmhDuup.png
But when i turn on those plugin it’s error
like this : http://i.imgur.com/FFInwz0.png
How can i fix it?
Hello,
I just wanted to thank Thalisson for starting this thread and all of your individual contributions. I have been ruminating over this since roughly August 8th (in what I thought was my own private hell, lol) and this thread is an absolute lifesaver.
Lucian, I updated TD_Social_Icons.php with the code you provided via FTP. Is that all I need to do? Is there any way to confirm it is corrected other than publishing a new URL via the site and seeing if it gets a crawl error? It was adding my Instagram name onto the end of every url (For example, http://www.example.com/instagram_name), 500+ of them.
Also, I saw in your above post regarding 404 errors not having a huge impact on Google, but how can I fix all these broken links rather than going into EACH ONE ad redirecting? I don’t want to leave them broken.
Thank you,
Paul
Hi Guys,
Great fan of your work 🙂 I have bought both Newsmag and Newspaper themes to use on my websites. But few things/options which I really miss and am sure many publishers like me want them as well. So, here is a small list of features suggestion, which you guys can bring in future version of themes…
1. Many publishers like me have smartphone apps of their publication/website. So, please introduce a widget kind of thing for sidebar just like social counter widget which displays the logos of Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Windows App Store.. through which we can notify and redirect our readers to respective app stores to download our mobile apps.
2. Please introduce auto load of previous or same category post on single post page. You can check Flex Mag theme to know what am talking about. They have given an option of auto loading posts below the single post using ajaxing, i guess. The auto load of posts increases the page views per visitor, brings down the bounce rate, increase average time spent on site.. and good in various ways. You can also check Digit.in website to check the auto loading of posts. Please introduce this option and we publishers will be very thankful to you guys.
3. Auto YouTube playlist fetching or Latest videos fetching from a specific YouTube Channel. Many publishers like me also have YouTube channel, which they updates on regular basis. So, if you can introduce a widget and Block/Module to display YouTube playlist or Channel’s latest videos list automatically just by adding the playlist ID or Channel ID… it will be awesome! In current block, we have to manually enter the IDs of videos which we want to display which is very painful thing to do again and again.
4. Please introduce native functionality of adding contact forms, no more depending on 3rd party plugins.
5. Introduce Quora profile option in Social Counter Plugin.
That’s it for now. I hope to get a positive reply on introduction of these features soon in the themes. 🙂
Thanks & Regards
Nitin
Forgot to say, I’d love to see some “full width” options for the “slider area” at top below logo/menus/ad, but above the other rows.
I guess that would essentially be a “full width” row option.
Sites like CNET.com are examples of this kind of thing.
this my result —> http://prntscr.com/8rhf6o
i am using shared hosting, my dashboard always “timeout”.
my web dangdutberisik.com
