I’ve looked through posts and some documentation you have about the side-bars, but I’m still a little confused and could use some help/further clarification, please.
I’ve looked at the following two links for example:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
and
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/deleted-sidebar-only-from-homepage/
So I installed the demo site for Crypto News Pro, and everything is going great, but then some things started to confuse me…
When I create a new Post, I have my default sidebar that came with the theme loading fine and it looks great.
When I create a new Page, I have no default sidebar, and I just have my default header and footer.
I also navigated in WordPress Admin to => NewsPaper => Theme panel = Template Settings => Page template (custom sidebar + position) is set to RIGHT position, and the “Default Sidebar” is selected…
Then I started asking myself, “how does wordpress even know what my default sidebar should look like?”
When I go into the WordPress Admin portal and go to Appearance => Widgets it’s just just empty when I expand the Newspaper default
When I try to use TagDiv Composer to edit the already-created (brand new) WordPress Page, the Page formatting looks totally broken…I’ve tried to build a new sidebar via the documented techniques, then when I save or preview the Page, I see my new Sidebar on the Page, but my Page content is completely gone…
So three questions please:
1) How do I find where my current default sidebar settings are from within WordPress/NewsPaper Theme? I dont understand how all of my new WordPress Posts are showing a default Sidebar, but in my Appearance => Widgets there is no Default Sidebar configured.
2) Is there a way to simply enable the same default sidebar on my WordPress Pages? (The same sidebar that currently shows up on all of my Posts).
3) Or whats the easiest way to add a new Sidebar to my Pages, without the content of my Pages breaking/disappearing when I edit them with the TagDiv Composer, and add a manual/new Sidebar?
FYI the only plugins on my brand new WordPress install currently, are YaySMTP/WooCommerce/WP Forms (and Newspaper Theme).
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Hello, how are you?
Well, it’s been a few days since an old problem happened again, a conflict between the AMP and Mobile Theme plugins.
I put the mobile version only for AMP users
How it should be: https://prnt.sc/6UZH814HrXZ7
How it turned out: https://prnt.sc/gscMgCv2rx4C or https://prnt.sc/co3H8xMOCt4t
I already tried uninstalling one and installing the other to see if the installation order would alternate.
On single post template, I am not able to do any change. For example, I don’t see edit tagDiv composer option while I am on post template(Please refer image). Also from theme panel whatever changes I am doing (like show updated, date, show ad, show related posts etc), they are not reflecting. I don’t want to use any other template since I did font or other changes on the current template.
Can you guide how to deal with this.

Hello. How can I make it so that if I create a multi-page blog post using page breaks, there are previous and next buttons instead of numbers?
For example: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_cars/td-post-justin-biebers-ferrari-458-italia-transformation/

Unfortunately, I deleted the EWWW plugin (which had been deactivated earlier) completely. I cannot reactivate and remove the lazy load function. However, WP Rocket lazy load is enabled.
I have today installed a new Compressed Image plugin called TinyPng. it ran all 1316 images in my library successfully.
However, after doing so, I still am seeing an issue with all the images in posts for my website, and using the Tagdiv theme. The issue can be seen by looking at a sample post/URL this one:
Then hover over the first image in the post of a man driving a lawnmower and click on it. (this is one example, all images have the same issue). If you see what I see, it will look like this error that the “image cannot be loaded” ?
This issue occurs in IOS and Desktop versions of my site; https://besthomegear.com
I am at a loss to understand what we can do to fix it (is it a leftover from something EWWW had imparted?).
I have cleared and preloaded the entire cache in WP Rocket, cleared my browser, and the images still show the same issue in the theme for any of my posts, in IOS or desktop.
Any help from you or your colleagues would b Most Helpful

Hi,
How do you put multiple elements in one Layout?
For example, you have placed the main header menu, social network icon, search icon and site logo in one Layout.
Hi again,
https://www.zoomit.ir/
I have seen this feature in several demo templates, for example: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_influencer/
I want to make something like these for my site.
Best regards
Hello!
You can change the roles and capabilities of your users from here: https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/
But, you can use a plugin for this, for example the Members – Membership & User Role Editor Plugin.
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!
Using the TagDiv Newspaper theme and without any known changes to plugins or theme, have just realized some (not all) of my posts are showing (in Mobile View only) as distorted pages – Zoomed so the page is not readable.
Here is a sample of a good Mobile page: https://besthomegear.com/10-best-gas-fire-pit-tables/
Here is a sample of a now distorted Mobile page: https://besthomegear.com/best-outdoor-griddle/
open either page on the desktop – No issues.
I have cleared and preloaded Cache this morning, with no changes.
If you open either sample page in Mobile (I use IOS) the second sample URL is an example of this issue. Appears the Margins are corrupted (enlarged) on only certain posts.
In Mobile View, I currently see almost all of my Product review pages, and Most of my How To guides with the same issue in Mobile View, No issues in Desktop. This is a huge problem that I can’t find a solution for, so big Thanks to anyone who knows what to fix, or where to look!

P.S. Only thing that we recently changed on site was in Tag Div composer last week, where with AnaMaria’s help, I removed the “Breadcrumbs” content row (top of page below header) from All pages on my site, due to duplication of Yoast Breadcrumbs, but that seemed successful, so not sure that caused this to occur and why to only certain pages.
Hi there
Is there an option or workaround to filter ‘Random’ to select more then 7 days, but less than ‘Random forever’?
For any Flex Block > Filter > Random: The options are either: Random / Random today / Random 7 days.
So for example, Random the last 3 months?
Hello,
today I have updated to Newspaper 12.5.1 and now we have a problem with the Search Menu on Desktop. I have made a video to show the problem:
1. Open the website without the caching, for example: https://www.android-user.de/?dfkjngdjkfgn
2. Try to open the Search Menu
Can you tell me how to fix this?
Thanks

Hello,
Unfortunately, to have compatibility between a plugin and the theme, we need to do custom work because there are a lot of plugins, and we can’t test them. For example, for SMTP, we use WP Mail SMTP by WPForms, which works well with the theme.
Thank you!
Looks like I cannot delete/edit my prior comments in the forums here. Not sure how it sounds like I had two different errors though. I had one problem. I clicked the “activate” button, and nothing happened, no matter what I tried.
I did however, get a direct email reply from your support team, not sure if it was you or someone else who replied. They mentioned the following, which ended up being very helpful for me figuring out the root-cause of my issue, so I’m posting it here to hopefully help others in the future: Check with the browser inspector in the console, there is an error like so for example – https://prnt.sc/mbuXJ2imLhBy Is this perhaps happening in your case as well? Or are there other errors in the console perhaps?
In my case, the problematic plugin for me was an SMTP email plugin that allowed me to force WordPress to use AWS SES to send all of my emails, and for some reason, the Newsletter Theme would not let me activate the product because the SMTP plugin kept trying to do something with the email address field in the Newsletter Theme Activation Form. I disabled/uninstalled my SMTP wordpress plugin, then activated the Newsletter Theme, and then I re-enabled my SMTP email plugin, because I need that in order to get WordPress to send-out reliable emails to my customers…. Im really hoping that the YaySMTP plugin doesnt break other functionality within your Newsletter Them in the future… I’ve asked your support people if I could please send you the YaySMTP plugin so that you can fix your Theme so that it no longer conflicts with the YaySMTP plugin….I feel like other basic SMTP plugins would do the same thing with your Theme.
In order to help others save a LOT of time in the future, can you please post the following on your license activation help article on your website? Had I discovered the earlier comments that I received from your support team, on your Newsletter Theme license activation “how-to” page, it would have saved me considerable time and headache this weekend with identifying the problem-plugin: Check with the browser inspector in the console, and look to see if there an error, for example – https://prnt.sc/mbuXJ2imLhBy – Is this perhaps happening in your case as well? Or are there other errors in the console perhaps? If you are seeing errors, it may well easily identify a plugin problem going on with your website
Last thing I’d like to ask, can you please advise me on how to manually activate the product should I ever need to? I can see in your code after doing lots of searching, that there at least used to be a manual activation method….but the URL that pointed to manual activation from my website is no longer accessible on your end:
If your company recently removed the ability for us to manually activate the product, then I beg you to please bring that functionality back…my example should be enough of a good use-case for you offering this feature.
Thank you for your time and help.

Hello @rizwana14 !
This page is the layout of the template you use, so if you delete it, then the single-post-template-default-pro will be deleted. You shouldn’t edit the template (it has dummy data), but the article. For example, see an article on your frontend and edit it with the TagDiv Composer.
Thank you!
How can we edit the url of the tdtax app category from newspaper App Find Pro?
For example my current url when visiting a category shows
http://website.com/tdtax_app_category/content-creation/
How can i edit the url slug of App Listings to make a custom or shorter url so it’s more user friendly such as
http://website.com/apps/content-creation/
Thanks for the help!
Hi,
Please let me know what version you have now.
Using our theme, you can choose from 3 mobile versions
-> mobile responsive => https://www.screencast.com/t/oJ2ShOp47
-> mobile theme plugin => https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
-> mobile page => https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages/
Suppose you created the mobile pages with tagDiv Composer. In that case, when you install the Mobile Theme plugin, your pages will be overwritten by the plugin (the mobile theme comes with its templates for page, post, category, etc so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout, the page content is made without builders in mobile editor => https://www.screencast.com/t/xbgZG8kH also, the options that are provided to edit the mobile theme version are limited (this keeps the things simple)).
This is a video about Responsive Newspaper Theme, AMP & Mobile Theme, Mobile Pages & Templates -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
So, the mobile responsive is what you see then that you select the viewport on phone => https://www.screencast.com/t/matV17hH, so some settings may apply for each viewport(where is the border blue), and others are not(where the border is black).
The mobile page has the mobile templates from Cloud Library => https://www.screencast.com/t/YCcZ8rL8
Mobile responsive version of the theme and the mobile page editor can be edited with tagDiv Composer, the mobile theme plugin not.
For example, you can have the mobile theme plugin activated and use the mobile page/mobile responsive version for the homepage/pages, but for the categories pages/404 page you can’t use the mobile page/mobile responsive version if you have the mobile theme plugin activated.
So, if you want to design the pages with tagDiv Composer, you can use the mobile page or mobile responsive version.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
I got an issue with my “primary categories”. I hope you can help me with that. Here for example, I selected “Multipurpose Themes” as PRIMARY Category for Astra, both in the side menü and the theme menü (see screenshot below), still it doesn’t show up as the first category here: https://top-wp.de/wordpress-themes/

Screenshot of Post Settings:

After Updating new version 12.5 & 12.5.1 server causing problem because of too many admin ajax request.
Hello!
Can you please provide an example? So, I can better understand where the issue is?
A solution for sending a screenshot/video is this:

Thank you!
Hello!
You can add only a featured image or video. Unfortunately, we do not have this feature in our theme. Maybe you can find a plugin which can do this.
A shortcode can be inserted by using the element called “Column text” or “Text with title”. For example, in the step3 here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-cryptocurrency-price-ticker-widget/
“Column text” and “text with title” elements have a button called “edit content” and if you click on that button, the WP Editor will open, and you can add some text/code/shortcode there. Close the WP Editor from X, save the changes from Composer and view the page to see the changes.
Thank you!
Hello
Formidable forms is not working properly when tagDiv Cloud Library is activated. The CSS is gone and the design is broken.
I disabled all the Plugins one by one. The Forms work fine when other plugins are activated. It only breaks when tagdiv cloud library is activated.

Hello, I purchased your theme two days ago and I have a question.
The width of my home page does not match the width of the posts page and other pages.
It doesn’t match by about 20 pixels on the left and right sides.
I’m talking about the header, the footer, and the body of the page.
I tried Force Full Width for Header, Header menu dnd Footer but to no avail.
The only success I had was with the Page Tamplete> PAGE LAYOUT SIZE> Full Witdh (with paddings).
I have exported from three different templates.
One template is for the home page, another template I use for the header and footer.
On the home page, everything matches exactly.
But when I make the blog post page, both the header and footer and body don’t match the width of the home page. I put everything at 100% width and still there is a difference in pixels.
Upon inspection, I see the same css code:
.td-pb-row [class*=”td-pb-span”] {
display: block;
min-height: 1px;
float: left;
padding-right: 24px;
padding-left: 24px;
position: relative;
}
but when i change the code with
padding-right: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
The home page is full screen width, but the blog post page (the header, footer and body) has an extra 10 pixels on both sides – left and right.
I tried everything, but after two days of wandering, trial and error, I decided I needed help.
So what do I do to make all my pages look the same width?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi, Anamaria
Thanks for your help.
Your example is right, but it’s for other reason. The video plugin didn’t import correctly the url in the cuestom post.
Anyway, I checked all the items mentioned in the post that you’ve told me.
I’m sending you three examples that URLs where the post appears in deskopt, but doesn’t appear in mobile.
We’re using wp-rocket, but now is not actived, traying to solve this problem.
We don’t have any object cache plugin.
Please, check them:
As you can see, the post shows the video in desktop, but doesn’t in mobile.
Thanks
