The one in the example you gave:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/8-1068×712.jpg
it says 1068×712,
But if you open the image in photoshop or look at the dimensions the size is: 1068x552px
So the image is cropped in a different size then the image was
Each image as I said is chopped in 15 variations.
For example the
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/8-1068×712.jpg
you pasted is a variation of the
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/8.jpg
The thumbnails are handled very nice no matter what the aspect ratio as long as your subject is not at one of the edges of the screen, but as centered as possible.
This is a search result in this test site that shows both images of the example links I gave you
http://mobile.neakriti.gr/neakriti2/?s=%CF%83%CF%85%CE%BC%CF%80%CE%B1%CE%BD
You see that even one is VERY portrait, and the other landscape they appear very nice as thumbs
Hi Alin,
Do I just remove the highlighted portion? I noticed that the line “jQuery(document).ready(function() {” line was not highlighted. The reason I’m asking is because I just removed what you highlighted and I’m still getting the lightbox on my galleries.

Hello,
I just installed Newspaper theme (Default). Have few questions.
1. I already have 300+ articles with images. Do I need to run any plugin to regenerate thumbnails that suits the theme?
2. I have to switch off the featured thumbnail option from the theme panel as the article image was appearing twice at top. How to sort this issue?
3. I just installed setting of default theme and not the data. The home page is based on latest posts. Is there a way to get the home page template for default theme? I can probably customize it based on my data and then use it as a home page. This will save the time as compared to the creating a new page.
Thanks.
It seems that the features images are much higer in v6 than v4. (for example first the image was 508, now he is 738px). It takes the whole screen now..
I’m trying to get for example in template 3 a less higher image by changes 1068×0 into 1068×300:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_image(‘td_1068x300’); ?>
But he doesn’t:
– show the correct height
– doesn’t generate the correct image size
What can I do to decrease the image size?

just to chime in; from my own projects — it’s NOT that sample, unfortunately; there aren’t any plugins I’ve seen which combine “all author views” within a theme. Normally you would do something like setup Google Analytics and apply a custom filter to the author by name, or use something like Piwik to create custom tracking per author.
The theme setup is a fairly simple one of tracking ‘views’ based on post and then writing that to a data field saved with post meta (hence why you can see that in each post custom fields). To add an additional dbase call, you would have to ALSO write another field for author with unique key separate from post key and then write that to ALL post records for that author.
You would likely need to hire a custom developer to build the dbase hooks and so forth to work with theme; but probably simpler to have a custom plugin built that can do the author lookup and then the overhead for writing multiple data fields. This would be some serious custom work, unless you’re doing a multi-site setup, where each author essentially has their own mini-site (e.g., large magazines setup unique blogs per author, and then there are unique stats by author/blog as the more typical way that’s done).
For adding something like additional author fields, you would likely need to do some custom work to add to your functions.php file and register additional record fields “per user” and then you’d have to edit the author template in theme to query/echo that custom field in the per author setup to load that info.
Neither of those are capable of being done out of the box with this, or any comparable theme unless you build those features in yourself as they’re not commonly needed by most folk as “part of theme,” since you’d lose such custom info if changing themes in some cases. So, those kinds of customizations are best done outside of the theme framework, but done via both functions.php and custom data fields which are not directly tied to, or managed by, the theme.
There are numerous plugins for adding custom user fields, and then using shortcodes in your template files.
Or you can “roll your own,” as there are hundreds of articles online for adding “custom user fields” to WordPress.
ONE example:
http://wpengineer.com/2173/custom-fields-wordpress-user-profile/
Hope that helped. Obviously the theme devs can’t build custom code for you outside of minor tweaks and CSS over-rides; they don’t do full custom stuff at this time.
Hi, with the introduction of Newspaper 6.1,
in the “Theme colors”->”GENERAL theme colors”->”THEME ACCENT COLOR” you can select a generic accent color. While red for example looks good for general use like highlighting the current page, I still prefered the black for widgets as it was in version 6.0. However there is no color option for default widget titles.
If you liked the dark background on the widgets but want some different color on your THEME ACCENT COLOR option, add the following code to your custom CSS.
aside.widget > div > span{
background-color: #333333 !Important;
}
aside.widget > .block-title{
border-color: #333333 !Important;
}
This applies to third party widgets. For tagdiv widgets you can customize the color of the title from the widget directly.

Hi there,
I’ve noticed in video posts that the post title text covers the play button. Any thoughts?

Hi
I am not sure what you mean, but if you want to place the ad on left side and on the right side an image, on the same line, that is not possible, the theme can handle that.
For more info please provide a link and more details.
To customize the colors go to Theme Panel->Theme color and chose every element you want and replace the curent color with yours like in this example http://screencast.com/t/4aEFLPEWh1f
Thanks!
Thank you @Radu for the update. I look forward to the updates to NewsMag..and I may actually also get NewsPaper 6 in the future. I’m just awaiting really cool gallery options in NewsMag (something like what The Voux theme does, where they have a gallery that opens up in a lightbox slider and you can have ads and also your text/description on the right side) – that would definitely set these themes way above all the other magazine style themes out there (it’s one feature lots of bloggers like myself who does lifestyle magazine based blogs keep asking for).
Hi!! Thkas a lot but this do not solve my problem. For example, I can read at the code of td_module_1.php this string: <?php echo $this->get_date();?>
In other wordpress projets I usually can read <?php the_time(‘F – j – Y’); ?> <?php the_time() ?>
But with Newsmag this doesn’t work.
I’d like to show the date and the time when the post was write.
I’m lost…what can I do??
Thanks!!
Hi ajaffarali,
it is not that easy… for example the grid from Newsmag is very special and I’m very happy that it works like it is. I’m sure many people are trying to replicate it but it’s very hard to make it work with visual composer + all the other things (blocks). We are already investigating a new grid system for Newsmag that will be a big improvement. Plus there are many more front end differences.
W00t!
Works like a champ! Thank you!
Ok, I apologize for the lack of details
I am trying to filter the menu at the top of the blocks

Hello,
Sidebar is not sticky on custom pages for example home page. How to fix this?
Thanks.
Hi
At your first question unfortunately it’s not possible to do that, because the theme wasn’t designed to support that.
For the second problem if you are using post template:Default on the pages, you can follow this links

as an example!
Thank you!
Hi neakriti,
thanks for your help. My “max_input_vars” was already set to 8000. However, my hosting company increased it to 12000 and now it works. Even though I guess that’ll only give me another couple sidebars before I run into trouble again.
Brings me to another question: Is there a way to get rid of sidebars that are not used anymore? I have around 10 sidebars I could delete/unregister but don’t know how. Any idea?
Thanks & best,
Torge

See:
Hello tagDiv Team,
some questions about the “Speed Booster Plugin”…
Of course speed of a site is a big thing. So it’s for me. But I must admit, that I am a bit confused on how to use it! The new version included into the new theme version seems to be incompatible with nearly every single plugin I use on my site.
Starting with a very popular add-on for visual composer, a faster version of disqus, a very helpful (and popular) security plugin, and so on … If I would disable these plugins, I can stop serving my site!
The thing is, that the system status tool tells me, that the “Speed Booster” is disabled, because these plugins are installed.
So what should I do now? I just can’t stop using visual tables on my site (for example), as they are a very important piece of our content. We are an informative magazine into parenting and family. So we need these visual extras …
But of course we also need a running and stable site! So what are our alternatives? Deleting the Speed Booster, and using a caching Plugin?
I really love the newspaper theme. But it is very annoying, that some parts seems to be so deeply hardcoded, that you cannot replace them with alternatives. For example the Speed Booster component, or the header menu. I have tried to use the uber-menu in the past. And I am quite sure, that the is still no chance to use it with version 6 of the theme …
Best regards
Torsten
I promise, I searched the forum first, didn’t return results – I started going through page by page, and found someone asked the same question!
My only questions now are
On the footer, I changed the title colour ” Even more news ” for the posts under it – but I still can’t find where to change the title colour for ” POPULAR CATEGORY ”
(screenshot) http://ukpokerandcasino.com/Footer.JPG
Also, Is it possible to change the colours on the side bar? for example ” STAY CONNECTED ” – or on the home page “LATEST ARTICLES” has a dark background.
Hi,
1. I couldn’t access your site – http://screencast.com/t/SQX5FSye6Z7
2. The slider arrows should look like this – http://screencast.com/t/DFsxiHbxax please check our demo here – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/ I need a link to take a look.
3. You can use custom css to decrease font size on article title only for mobile screen(use media queries) for example if you refer to IOS silder: http://screencast.com/t/yjtZ9FUj3eq
@media(max-width:500px) {
.iosSlider-col-2 .entry-title {
font-size: 13px;
}
.iosSlider-col-2 .td-module-meta-info {
font-size: 9px;
}
}
Thanks!
I have a really strange thing here. My posts are all set to style9, and I copied single_template_9.php into my child-theme folder, but no matter what I edit there, the output stays the same. It is like this file is not taken into consideration. I also added teststrings to the HTML output and checked in the source code, it is simply not there. Editing page.php or the loop-single-9.php does show up in the output, so the child-theme works, and apparently it uses the style9 template, but I can not edit it.
Do you have a clue? To recreate, please simply copy the file into your childtheme and change something, for example <article id=”444test444″…
then call a post that has style9 and check the source code … still shows its good old post-XX ID, so definetely this file is not read. But then what else is used?
My aim is to use the td_1068x580 as featured image instead of 1068×0, and for this I need to change it in the post template, which should be exactly this one.
Thanks for a hint on where I find what I am searching for 🙂
hi there,
