No, for adv banners I use a special plugin for management, time, link etc. It fits into the desired pages and if there is already a general background of the template.
For example: https://www.italianfoodtoday.it/category/vini-c/
In this case the banner and the link work perfectly.
In the other case instead the banner is displayed but not the link .. I don’t understand how to change the option
Hi,
If I correctly understand, you have set the background ad option from the theme panel. If so, make sure that you have set the background image and the link for the background ad is complete and has https, for example: https://www.viaggiare.net/

Thank you!
Hi,
Reducing the CSS is quite important but since you are using tagDiv Standard Pack and quite many blocks and options from it, removing this plugin is not an option in your case, but this will reduce the css by half from the size it has now.
Now related to the “fetchpriority=high should be applied”, please replace the element Big Grid Flex with the Big Grid element (same layout).
Use a plugin that can convert the images to WebP, for example, ewww image optimizer- https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/
There is a banner image set that does not have a height and width – https://i.imgur.com/XCHOeoC.png. It can be resolved using tagDiv Composer, select that banner ad, and in the image tab, set the width and height for the mobile version of that banner.
Other suggestions are to use an optimization for css and js (Autoptimize) and a Cloudflare.
Hi djony620,
There will be a need to make the improvements for the list provided on the Pagespeed test.
Also, for speed, if you are using the WP Super Cache plugin, make sure that you also use the Autoptimize plugin and CDN . There are also other cache plugins that can be used to do both caching and optimizing the site, so there is no need to have 2 plugins. For example, one of the best is WP Rocket, but you can also use free plugins like WP Optimizer, Litespeed.
Hi MarcyGaboma, unfortunately, I do not understand the problem you are facing. Could you please provide some more details and maybe some screenshots?
Subject: Technical Issue: tagDiv Composer “Edit” and “Add” buttons not responding (Envato Ref: 4092998)
Message:
Hello tagDiv Support Team,
I am contacting you regarding a critical issue with my Newspaper theme installation for my website, Law & Business. I have already contacted Envato Support (Ticket #4092998), and they have directed me to you for technical assistance.
The Issue: The “Edit with tagDiv Composer” and “Add” buttons are completely unresponsive. When I attempt to edit a page, the visual interface does not load, and in some instances, I am seeing raw shortcodes instead of the graphical editor.
What I have observed:
Clicking the “Edit” button results in no action (the editor doesn’t trigger).
The “Add” element button is frozen/unresponsive.
This prevents me from updating the “Magazine Pro” / “Business @ Law” layout.
System Info:
Theme: Newspaper (Latest version)
Plugin: tagDiv Composer active
Envato Purchase Code: I will provide the purchase code in a private reply
Could you please help me identify if this is a JavaScript conflict, a server memory issue, or a database error, as my publication schedule is currently on hold.
Looking forward to your professional guidance.
Best regards, Tudor Ion

from plugin:
Only change this setting if your clickable zones are not working, and you understand basic HTML and you know how to find the right DOM element that spans the entire width of the webpage.
If your clickable zones are not working please make sure this field is set to the correct DOM element. For example, all default WordPress themes use the body element as the element that spans the width of the entire webpage. In this case we would enter in body for the DOM element.
If your theme however has a different DOM element that spans the full of the webpage like, #page-container , then you should have #page-container entered in as the DOM element.
Hello,
I’m using the TagDiv (Newspaper) review system and I need clarification on review configuration.
My questions:
Is it possible to assign different review types/forms to different post categories?
For example:
Category Mechanics → User reviews with star ratings
Other categories → standard comments or non-star reviews
If yes, where is this configured – category settings, post templates, or review settings per post?
Is it possible to connect the user review form (stars submitted by users via comments) with the Single Post “Overall Rating”, so that:
the overall rating is automatically calculated from user reviews,
and updates dynamically when new reviews are submitted?
Please let me know if this functionality is supported natively or if it requires custom development.
Thank you.
Hi,
The Posts Loop is a special element that has an automatic filter to display articles related to the template where it is set. For example, if it is on a category page, it will automatically display articles from that category. If it is set on a regular page, it will display all articles sorted by latest.
Also, you could check the offset option in the Posts Loop. This should be empty so that no articles are skipped.
Hi Aleksey,
I understand what you’re saying. Unfortunately, the theme doesn’t use standard fields for these parameters and instead has a more complex system for storing them. For example, the subtitle meta key field is td_post_theme_settings, and you’ll need to look for the meta_value td_subtitle – https://i.imgur.com/3gU7I0s.png
All of the theme’s fields are structured in this way, which can make creating the import correctly quite challenging.
Therefore, at the moment, I don’t know of any ready-made solution for this. It might be possible for a developer to create an import tool that focuses only on the fields that need to be imported/exported and checks whether those fields exist in the theme. Unfortunately, this is not covered by support, so you would need a developer to handle it.
Hi,
1. I believe there has been a misunderstanding regarding the cloud templates.
In the General tab, you will find the standard cloud templates for a blog. These include templates for the header, footer, single post, category, tag, author, date, 404, attachment, and search pages.
The template that can be used for a single doctor is available under the Single Article cloud templates (see: https://i.imgur.com/xNZUSoK.png). However, the template you are trying to use is a Custom Post Type (CPT) template. CPT templates cannot be applied to regular single posts; they can only be used for their respective CPTs. Additionally, this CPT template is not part of the cloud templates—it was provided in my previous reply—and, as mentioned, it works only for CPTs, not for standard posts or articles.
If you want your regular posts to have a layout similar to the CPT layout, you will need to recreate it manually using the Theme Builder in tagDiv Composer. If custom fields are required, you can use the ACF plugin to achieve this.
To copy and paste the CPT template I provided, please edit a single under the Custom post type – https://i.imgur.com/ZvgMAhV.png hover over the 3 dots and click on “edit” https://imgur.com/NlMnH9L. After that, replace the code with the one from here https://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Custom-Post-Type-CPT-Doctors-PRO.txt
2. As mentioned above, there is a misunderstanding. I believe this comes from trying to combine multiple prebuilt templates without fully understanding how the theme works. It seems there may be some confusion about core concepts such as what a post is, what a CPT (Custom Post Type) is, and the difference between categories and taxonomies, including how they are configured and how they are meant to function.
The section you are referring to (https://i.imgur.com/UrNPZOE.png) is displaying the Doctors CPT, and its layout is provided by the Doctors PRO Plugin. This plugin can be installed from Newspaper > Plugins > Dedicated Plugins for Prebuilt Websites (https://i.imgur.com/6eVC20P.png). Once the plugin is installed, you can use Flex Block X to select and display that module (https://i.imgur.com/nZpalQh.png). However, since the plugin creates the module using predefined code, we recommend creating your own custom module using the Module Builder, and then displaying it via the Flex Block Builder.
By doing this, you gain full control over the module’s layout and settings. For example, if you want to add an “Age” field, you can create a custom field using a plugin such as ACF, and then display it in your custom module using the Custom Field element.
Thank you!
Hi, is it possible to cut & paste modules in order to copy from one page and have them pasted in other pages so they can keep the settings ? talking about any module. This could make the work faster
thx
Please tell me how I can split the feedback form into two columns, as in your example. Currently, the fields are very wide when viewed on a PC. The page is https://shevchenko.help/contact/.
Hi,
Yes, the theme can be used on multisites, but the license can be used on multisites that are created with subfolders -> https://www.rosehosting.com/blog/how-to-set-up-wordpress-multisite-with-subdirectories/
This http://site1.example.com is a subdomain (we are not sure if it will work or not, was not entirely tested) .
With subfolders http://example.com/site1/
Thank you!
It shows the modified time like this. How can I make it only show the time the post was shared? For example, https://imgur.com/a/YKm2hJt here it was shared at 13:14 and then edited at 14:29. It shows 13:14 in the article but the modified time on the homepage https://imgur.com/a/4LNZmoc. I am using block9 on the homepage. Its module is 8. Can I edit it in the module_8.php file?
Hello,
Here are the three available solutions for the mobile version:
1. Responsive Desktop Version – The default responsive layout that adjusts to mobile screens using tagDiv Composer – https://i.imgur.com/apZQZ0o.png
2. Mobile Page/Template – A custom mobile layout that can be created using the tagDiv Composer.
3. tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin – A separate mobile theme that provides a dedicated mobile experience but is limited in edits and changes.
Note: When the tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin is activated, it takes priority and will be displayed on mobile devices. If it’s not active, the system will check for a mobile page/template built with tagDiv Composer. If neither of these is in use, the responsive desktop version will be shown by default.
Related to the cache, please check in the cache plugin documentation if this supports mobile cache if you are using the mobile page/template or tagDiv Mobile theme.
Also, the tagDiv Mobile theme is the only one that can be used for AMP. Unfortunately, the options for editing the layout are only a few. Also, pages need to be remade using the mobile editor only:

Hi,
I’ve just tested this on my own installation, and it is working correctly for me on all three options. Normally, when both the tagDiv Mobile theme and AMP are enabled, all three options should be available. These options allow you to set the mobile theme to be used only for mobile users, for both mobile and AMP users, or only for AMP users.
Additionally, when using the Mobile Theme plugin, it’s important to ensure that your caching plugin is configured to cache the mobile version separately from the desktop version. Otherwise, the site may not display correctly, and you may occasionally see the responsive desktop version on mobile devices or the mobile version on desktop.
While the AMP project itself is not officially deprecated, it is widely regarded as outdated and is no longer a priority for most modern websites. Today, similar or better performance benefits can be achieved using modern web standards and effective performance optimization techniques. For this reason, it is often recommended to remove AMP and focus instead on optimizing the speed and performance of your main website.
Thank you.
how do I use Cookies & Consent Banner Jetpack widget with tagdiv composer? how do I inser it?
It’s been a long time that I’ve installed amp on my site. As the site grew I decided to go amp. Now, when I did it, I saw the old settings on front of the mobile theme. I tried alot to fix the logo etc but nothing works. Now I can’t do anything in it. If I want to use it for AMP only it doesn’t work. Only works when I choose “Mobile + AMP”. Its pretty annoying.
Hello masters. I need some help. How can I make it so that the time at which the shared posts were shared is visible? That is, so that the time is also visible in the date section. For example, in the form of 11:25 02.01.2026. Thanks in advance.
Hello,
The single post table of contents is not working well since 12.7.3.
Example: https://archiprop.com/selling-your-hdb-heres-everything-you-need-to-know-first/
1. Hide/show is not working
2. Clicking on the specific heading does not bring you accurately to the specific part of the article.
Can you advise on this please?
Hi,
I am using Newspaper theme Coach Pro, I would like to create a custom function to be called when a new subscription is created, canceled or renews (for example send invitation link when subscription is created).
I would be glad to hear some feedback on this.
Can’t get a mobile menu with Newspaper theme on cell phones without turning off AMP which then hurts the desktop site by removing the hero photo and links which define the site.
Frustrated for weeks trying to solve this –
In other words:
The owner wants a “hamburger” mobile menu on cell phones. The ONLY way I’ve been able to get that is to turn off AMP. But when I turn off AMP the mobile site AND the desktop site become, and show, only the choices of posts. The hero picture and links of the main site vanish on both mobile and desktop.
I won’t bore you too much with the days of experiments and reading and working with AI trying to throw switches in Newspaper and in WP; nothing works. But I will say we’re aware of the choices: TagDiv Mobile theme plugin, cache clearing, menu settings (primary and mobile). Mobile theme is on for both mobile and AMP. All have been turned on and off several times in all possible combinations – but I’m not the creator of the site (he’s long gone) and may be missing something obvious to you. I hope!
The site is NewYorkHarborChannel.com
Can anyone tell me why turning off AMP trashes the desktop site? It seems to make no sense! Perhaps this will be a good clue as to the issues –
WP: Version 6.8.3
Newspaper! Version: 12.6.8
PHP Version 8.2.29
MANY thanks for ANY help!
Hi,
I believe that’s on your blog. The footer can be customized with the composer. If you edit for example the homepage with the composer https://prnt.sc/9ORTEOqJmztt and scroll down to the footer, you can click on anything and customize it https://prnt.sc/VdlRyG4eUfXu
The posts that Popular Posts displays depends on the filtering and sorting it uses. It may be set on popular sorting, which can display older posts as well if they are popular. Or it may be “stuck” if the options required for the theme to count post views are not active. I suggest changing the sorting to random 7 days, to have some variety of new posts in that block https://prnt.sc/g9fHJYkj22t5 as a quick solution.
Everything can be customized with the composer. The theme panel is very rarely needed to be used. It was used more many years ago when the theme used to use the simpler header and footer templates, or post templates, etc. But ever since we added the cloud library and the PRO demos, these are fully built with the composer -> https://tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
Please let us know if we can help with something else and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks.
