Hi, you may wish to use the search function in this forum as the topic has been covered many times.
Normally you don’t make story titles h1 or h2 as they normally change regularly on a newspaper, meaning, the h1 today for a story would not be there tomorrow, and so has no value for long-tail SEO.
So, typically if you have a phrase such as “All the best southwest tacos.” and you want that on your home page for SEO of southwest tacos, provided it’s also in your title and description tags, you would simply create a text box and put that text at top or wherever you want it on your home page layout.
h2 tags are for sub-heads, and not technically needed, but can be done the same way, for example you could remove the h4 tag for a news section like “book news” and create text area above it, and use h2 for Book News.
Hope that helped 🙂
Not part of the theme, but likely a developer could help you hack it; for example create another widgetized area at nth spot, then use plugin or query to pull in related content. Trickier to do “inside the post” since it’s the result of the query for the page. Often this is done on other magazine sites with skinny column left of main article so that the query is in its own section. Tricky but not impossible. There isn’t a built in function to do this, obviously.
Hi,
I just bought newspaper, and added a few posts. Theres no commment box in the new posts. But its working fine in the old sample posts.

You could likely comment that button out of the theme template (search forum as there are numerous threads on adding or removing buttons; as many people were wanting to add Pinterest for example).
For SEO you might want to keep it, simply for Google “good will….” …. and as far as low numbers, I’ve actually noticed a lack of shares for G+ on almost every major news portal I go to … 376 shares on twitter, 0 for G+ and I feel like a nutbag for sharing to my G+ page. So, I hear ya, man! We’re keeping G+ on all our sites until Google kills it.
Disqus comments show up quickly, unless you have it setup to hold for approval; but the comment counts rarely are accurate. I just disable them in the templates. They do NOT work on the author template page for example and always show “0 comments” … not that most people really care how many comments a story happens to have.
Sync with comments has nothing to do with the theme, but with WordPress. So, once you install DisQus you use the tools for the plugin to sync existing comments to their server so they’ll show up at bottom of posts. It can take a couple of hours, depending on how many comments your site has.
Hope that helped 🙂
Also don’t forget closing bracket, missing in your example code …
.td-page-title span {
color: #353535;
text-decoration: none !important;
font-family: ‘Roboto Condensed’, sans-serif;
font-size: 45px;
line-height: 60px;
font-weight: bold;
Well, the sidebar is easy to remove under “page template settings” on the editing screen.
As for the header and footer, there are a few ways you could do this. Here are two:
1. You could edit the respective template files in a child theme to check the page id and only include the relevant elements if it’s not your thank you page.
For example, once you set up and activate a child theme, you could edit the header file you’ve selected in your theme panel. Find this in your-child-theme/parts/header… .php, and add this line before the first div:
<?php if (!is_page('4994')) { ?>
and this at the very end:
<?php } ?>
Your landing page id is the number that comes up when you hover over the link to edit the page: http://www.screencast.com/t/ANsTxW7C
Then you would do the same to other files you want to remove (menu-top.php, footer.php), save, upload, and clear cache.
2. If you’re not comfortable with child themes or php, you could instead do it quickly through CSS:
.page-id-4994 .td-header-bg {
display: none !important;
}
And add any container classes that you want to hide, putting them where .td-header-bg is, e.g. .td-header-menu-wrap. You can find these using inspect element.
The CSS solution isn’t great because all the content will still be downloaded by the client’s browser, but it’s very easy.
3. Create a custom page template. WordPress checks for page templates in a hierarchy of importance, including the slug and the ID, so if you your page’s slug is /email-landing and you have a template named page-email-landing.php, or page-4994.php, and so on, WordPress will use that rather than the default one. Then you could edit that one to suit your needs. You could copy page.php from the parent theme’s folder as a starting point.
From what I’ve read, this is probably the most natural solution, but it would still need a child theme to survive theme updates, and to be honest I haven’t looked at enough custom template building yet to know what to advise you. For example, you can’t just remove the call to get_header() from page.php or you’ll lose a lot more than the logo div, etc.
Those are my two cents, coming from a relatively new learner of this sort of thing. If anyone has a better solution, feel free to mention it so I can learn too. 🙂
Thank you.. I’ve also noticed that on iPad, pictures become really small if you add them with vidth values in a text block (we need to do this on our product pages in order to get the pages to look the way we want).
See example:
http://www.vitamail.no/polarkrill/ (Just drag to window to see what I mean).
Any solutions for this responsive issue?
Hi,
Looks to me that you use a plugin that dose this, you could try to disable all plugins except those theme requires and check to see if this is still there, if not activate the plugins back one by one to see which one it’s responsible for this.
If this dose not work you can use this custom css in Theme panel > Custom CSS to hide them:
.td-post-text-content time,.td-post-text-content .none {
display: none;
}
Thanks
Hi,
on all pages & posts, just above the sharing buttons it always says “aug 13, 2014 admin”. A date and author let say. In the theme template it is all switched off. I searched a lot in the code, but cannot find how to remove it. website: http://www.welketonic.be – screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/re8kgfxvu98xh74/Schermafdruk%202014-08-14%2011.41.50.png
Thnx for helping me out!
B.
What css is used by the buttons in the theme (for example the “Post Comment” button)
I want to change the default css for all buttons that are used in post change to te same layout.
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately not all of them can be achieved within the theme and i’m referring to the forth suggestion here, those separator between columns can’t be added because the grid was not designed to support that.
Regarding other suggestions they can be done trough the use of a plugin for that buttons for sharing you can use this plugin which I think it’s the same with the one used in your example https://wordpress.org/plugins/mashsharer/
The avatar can be added with some custom work or try to find a plugin that dose just that.
About the font size/zoom buttons you can also use a plugin if you want that, like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/zoom-widget/ or similar.
I will also add this suggestions on our feature requests list but because we have over 150 feature requests we have to pick very carefully what we implement. If more people request this feature we will try to do it within future theme updates.
Thanks for the message!

Sorry for bad english

Hi,
I need assistance!
I’m trying to make the borders of the sidebars and the blog posts like this one (highlighted in red)

Ideally you’d post a new article into a single category like “food” but not “clothing” and so when building modules on the home page you’d select one block to show the food content, and another to show clothing content. Similarly to highlight content from a single category, across more than one you can use the “featured” category for a big slider, etc.
Still, this is a common issue … for example visit nbcnews.com as they’re having similar issue with their new site design 🙂
I ran into this with a music category, books category, and then when I had a “music book” that ran in both I ended up with story in two places on home page. But not end of the world if that happens.
Trick is to pick and choose categories and not put stories in all of them.
Not sure that helped, but my two cents anyway. 🙂
On your demo site, there is an 11% left and right margin set to the text on full-width templates (when the sidebar is not set to display) (example: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/popular-people-who-everyone-seems-to-love/), but this margin is not applied when there is a sidebar on the page.
What css do I need to add so this would only apply when there is no sidebar on the page.
Thanks.
@cleverliving – If you do want to target all pages, you can use the CSS above in the following way (and this is the same process for any CSS @Lucian gives you) :
1. Open your theme panel
2. Scroll down and find the “Custom CSS” section on the left
3. In the first box there, paste this CSS:
body {
font-family: 'PT Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 21px;
}
This section works by overriding the CSS specified in the theme by default, which is what you’ve just copied in. So now…
4. Change these style attributes to the ones you want. For example, let’s say you want your page text to be Times New Roman at 16px and lines that are 24px high. Your box would contain this:
body {
font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 24px;
}
5. Save settings and clear cache (if you use one) when you’re done.
Why does this work? Because the text on pages is just a <p> that doesn’t have any other font info to inherit. Note that by changing the body CSS like we do here, you’re hypothetically affecting a lot of the site, but most of the other text has other styling that overrides this body styling.

Hi Lucian,
My issue is not with the thumbnail itself. It’s with the way it centers it.
The ?resize=326%2C159 is not part of the filename.
It is a line of code added by WordPress or by your design, I am not sure.
The example you show is exactly the issue I am referring to.
Where is the ?resize=326%2C159 coming from. and how do I recenter the image

Hi,
You can look at the existing templates to see how are build:
http://screencast.com/t/xTrpMYy1rurF

If you don’t have basic programming skills you can hire a developer to do this for you.
Thanks
I have some suggestions , If it would be better applied at the level of Themes and WordPress in the world , I hope that this theme up to the highest sales take place after this suggestions applied .
First, I want users to Support my request , In order to apply by Newspaper theme team.
suggestions are :
1- Action buttons post on the subject across Facebook & Twitter to share the news, similar to picture attached , This theme is for the news ! So we need to spread the news through it
2- Avatar show writer named imilar to picture attached
3- Since the theme of the news and reading, especially Fonts zooms that some readers are senior age and are difficult to read them in line with normal size < All modern news sites have this feature !!!!
4- Separator between the columns , Gives the appearance of a beautiful Theme ,
similar to picture attached
I hope that these suggestions apply in the next update
Example via the following link :
http://www.eminentculture.com/lauren-bacall-passes-away-89-can-like-bogie-bacall/
Thank you both for your suggestions. I have the following changes:
1. Lucian – Your example is how mine is configured, but the size is not fixed when the width of the window is changed. This is not a major issue, but if there is a setting I’m not using or some css code I should add to the page, please let me kno.
2. The 2/3 & 1/3 setting seems to be find for this application, so I will leave it at this setting.
3. Lucian – I don’t have a specific design in mind. I just wanted to take advantage of pre-designed functions and experiment with different color setting, buttons, etc.. for a Call To Action message (I’m not an accomplished graphics designer so a feature like this is helpful).
4. I incorporated your examples for centering the menu and expanded the spacing between the options.
5. I will make the change as you suggested.
6. This is handled as well.
Please let me know when you might have a fix for the CTA function.
Hi,
Can you describe how to create a page template and a post template?
Regards,

I was able to recover the missing images, but the homepage is displaying images that don’t fill the frame.
For example: The smaller images to the right of the Big Slider are not filling the whole box. I’ve checked the size of the pictures and they should be large enough.
