FYI,
Yoast SEO has had numerous bugs, check the changelog sometime to see how many bugs they have had. My contention was simply that using Yoast SEO as a “comparator” to anything else related to bugs, is not a good metric.
So, you don’t need to debunk my statement, as it’s well known. Yoast has had numerous bugs which break the site, break other plugins, and major security flaws (where they finally hired a security firm to check them).
H1 is useful on home page; H2 also useful for topical elements such as section heads, but not so much for story heads ad they are ephemeral; meaning, they change daily, so they are not sticky and therefore not relevant to long-term, long-tail SERPS placement.
The “home page” is typically not “critical” for SEO, as you want your “post” to rank higher than your home page for a specific story, including the title and excerpt, so causing them to fight each other is un-wise.
I only speak as an SEO expert having been building websites since March 1995, and widely interviewed on SEO topics by Entrepreneur, PCWorld, Monster.com, etc. And we had a highly successful SEO business for 10 years with over 2 million #1 positions in Google and Yahoo for our clients. And, oh yeah, I have two Harvey Measurement Awards for “most responsive advertising,” and a design award from Apple Computer, Inc. for marketing campaigns for Apple retail products in California, and built Oprah Winfrey’s ecom solution for her “Begin with Love” video series; but what the hell do I know?
TagDiv does provide the tools to add H1 tags to any home page and it should be up to any theme user / site developer to manage their own SEO practices. It could be needlessly confusing to have a built in H1 element on the home page template as there is no default home page template technically, since the presumption is you would be “rolling your own.” So this would require yet another set of code to check if home page and insert something in header, have toggles for on/off, and remove code for those doing their own H1 placement as we have done with WP for 10 years now. Frankly if folks can’t be aware of SEO for their own site, they are generally not that worried about it — and these are often same folk not reading the WP codex to learn how to set permalinks, etc.
One might also argue it’s useful to inspect the demo of a theme before buying it, then using it, then posting numerous times how bad it is or buggy, vs. requesting possible changes politely?
These are just my thoughts, having used Newspaper for almost 2 years now, and have great traffic, great SEO, and placement in Google News, Bing News, and syndicated worldwide through major information systems like LexisNexis, etc.
But that’s just me. Your mileage, as in all things, will vary.

@Radu – thanks for the response and looking forward to seeing the documentation in due course.
As a point to note we’ve done quite a bit of testing on Rocket Loader the last few days and it’s pretty hard to get it to play well with a lot of different plugins, themes and other software (for example forum software such as Xenforo or vBulletin).
Hi
You need to add an extra class name to this section http://screencast.com/t/iMaJGwwGasJ in Visual Composer http://screencast.com/t/ZgUUy9q38X and after that use css to change the background color as you want. Example:
.spacial-class{
background-color: red;
}
Thanks!
Is there an option to use more than one Ad for example on the header ad position?
Different sizes (for devices) are clear but i have more than one advertiser that needs to show up.
I can only get it running with only ‘one’banner. What i need is some sort of slider to show for example 3 banners
Hi
You can style the the sub-menus using custom css like here: http://screencast.com/t/VXRHTVEAKq and you can change the style properties as you like, and here are a few example: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/box-shadow/ Also if you want to create your own shadow here are a lot of useful information: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_shadows.asp The classes remain the same, just properties must be change if you want to customize.
.white-menu #td-header-menu .td-normal-menu .sub-menu{
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #000000;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #000000;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #000000;
}
To change the submenus color use this classes .white-menu #td-header-menu .td-normal-menu .sub-menu and set the background color as you want.
Thanks!

can u look under the picture tehere is a little error how can i delete this …..whats the the problem
Hi,
Unfortunately there is fixed height for container and a max height for logo image that’s why you have this issue with logo, because it matter the aspect ratio of the image. You will need custom modification to use the same image size and increase the width and height, I suggest to hire a professional to do this for you if you don’t have basic css/html experience as we cannot provide custom work, sorry! Y ou have to customize it for each screen size using media queries, for example – http://screencast.com/t/YG6pPPShacL
@media (min-width: 1140px) {
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-logo {
width: 340px;
height: 160px !important;
margin: 28px 0px 9px 0px;
}
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-logo img {
max-height: 160px;
}
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-recs {
margin: 40px 0 9px 0 !important;
}
}
Thanks!
Hi,
As you can see in version 6 of the theme we have added more modules that are using different thumbnails. You can change/add another thumb size from td_config.php file and also the cropping mode – http://screencast.com/t/sQJjSjupVNE If you make any changes you will have to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Please note that there’s no ideal image size, the modules have thumbs with different aspect ratios and a part of the image may get lost on the cropping process. You could read more about the featured image size here (it’s from Newsmag documentation but the principles are the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/
You can find out more about cropping here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/ – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
Thanks!
Hello,
We have noticed on v6 that all the styling changes we have applied take effect a few seconds after the page loads, essentially turning all default elements to the custom styled ones, but we a delay.
You can take a look here http://greece.greekreporter.com/ – for example notice the menu background colors.
Any help greatly appreciated.
thank you!
Hi,
You use non-adsense code so if you have to use these divs for specific screen size – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/ For example if you want to display ads only for desktop you can use only this div container and it will be hidden on tablet and phone:
<div class="td-visible-desktop">
<a href="link to" target="_blank"><img src="your image" alt=""></a>
</div>
Thanks!

Thank you Andrei!
Got those things working again, apparently it was one of those WP caching programs. I deactivated them, search & menus returned but my pagespeed insight score went back down the tubes, doh.
The quest to find a caching plugin that plays well with Newsmag continues…
Thanks but, i don’t want to change the background of the entire page but just the background of the questions just like this example example
1. The only plugin I have on my setup that affects formatting is TinyMCE Advanced, which I just disabled for testing. The results remained the same with and without that plugin activated. See output: http://i.imgur.com/JnN3Nd5.png
As I was testing this I found that the behavior isn’t consistent.
- The first block of text in a smart list item is not in <p> tags
- An empty <p> tag appears after the first block of text
- Subsequent blocks of text after the 2nd one are formatted properly in a <p> tag
- Attempting to manually add additional spacing to separate the first two blocks of text causes the output to act normally (See below screenshots)
Here’s my visual editor entry with normal spacing:

Here’s the front-end smart list output of normal spacing:

If I try to double that spacing, either by pressing enter (carriage return) or shift+enter (line-break), then everything acts normal, which still isn’t the desired result. Here is a sample of the visual editor input demonstrating this:

Makes no sense to me unless the theme (smart list) is trying to play with the <p> tags and getting it wrong. Haven’t found any way to explain it though.
2. The image in my screenshot is 188×300 at medium. I tried setting it to full size, which exceeds 300px in both directions and that did not help. It happens with other images too. Landscape and portrait images are doing it though that portrait image is showing the most spacing to the right, one of which is 275×183 at full size. Not finding a common denominator there.
It would seem that the image must be of an exact proportion ratio to avoid this problem, but nothing is documented of the sort. That’s a bug in my mind. I say that because it’s obviously inconsistent with respect to orientation and pixel dimensions. Any ideas?
Hi,
From what i understand you want to publish the quote right after the title, like it’s on the example link – http://screencast.com/t/kjS68tvqhpf
You added the title and the quote lines and now you need custom css which targets this specific module. By default each module comes with it’s own class but if you’re using a custom one you may want to add a custom class to it. Use Radu’s method to add it. The create the custom css to properly position that element, ex:
.your_module_class .element_class {
display: inline;
}
If you can’t figure it out please provide the url and we’ll take a look.
Thank you!

Hello
I noticed that till the 2 last updates, the search engine didn’t work well.
When you search for a word for example japon, you have instantly result (that is very GREAT) BUT all the links send to the category page of the article and not to the article itself.
Any idea how to correct that?
Regards
Hi,
Like I said above if you want you can add alt text for each of your image or if you want to add it automatically like in your example you will need custom modifications. Any way I have also tested this and it should work fine – http://screencast.com/t/xFBhU58gssl9 – http://screencast.com/t/nwAFCVNk also for featured image the above solution works fine.
Thanks!

Hi,
You have to change the code like I suggested above and use browser inspector tool to see what css you need to change. I have provide you above an example how you can achieve this, but you may need additional css customizations. I suggest to get someone to help you if you don’t know how to do it as we cannot provide any type of custom work at this time, sorry!
Thanks!
Hi,
I am sure this is something simple but for the life of me I can’t figure it out. I am using a demo layout and starting to import some draft content etc. When you look at the following category or post pages they have a background image displayed where the home page has none but I can’t see where this is set, can anyone tell me how to change this?
The example pages are:
Category page: http://www.honestcarreviews.com/car-reviews/superminis/
Post page: http://www.honestcarreviews.com/?p=217&preview=true
Thanks
