I just upgraded to the new version of Newspaper that features the Say What template. Say What is nearly perfect for my purposes and I’ve found tweaking most things to my needs very easy.
However, I’m running into a BIG problem. On my existing sites I need the comment count box to display because it generates a lot of traffic. Readers what to see what other people are saying.
Previous Newspaper: I had it configured with Module 11 to display content on the main, category and tag pages. Under Block Settings I have Show Comment Count, Show Date and Author all enabled. This resulted in comment count displaying on post lists and in widget sidebars.
Say What Newspaper: Under Block Settings I have the same areas enabled, but comments do not appear in either post lists or sidebars when configured in the Say What VC template.
I am also running into a problem with [tagDiv] blocks showing the comment count icon as before when added to a widget sidebar in VC. I have [tagdiv] Block 21 activated in both the old version and Say What. Say What doesn’t show comment. regular widget blocks do.
I need a solution that displays comment counts when they are enabled. Is there a specific config that needs to be activated for comment counts to appear? If not is there a code hook that can activate it in custom code?
Below are examples of before and after (Say What) sidebar blocks.


Below are examples of before and after (Sawy What) post lists.


I like the author card of the theme and my Gravatar shows up. But it is not sharp (crisp). The Gravatar image is 96px x 96px, but your CSS is stretching it to 100px x 100px. That makes it blurry! The CSS code is:
.author-box-wrap .avatar {
float: left;
width: 100px;
}
Can you check?
Hello Niresh,
If you want to change the position of Author Box, please notice that you will have to make some modification in the core file corresponding to what post template you are using on your website. So, for example, if you use the post template style 1, you will have to modify the loop-single-1.php core file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/jv4899zl5
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!

Is it possible to display author box with short codes?
How can i move author box above the article?
Just got this theme and I need some help. 1. There seems no tot be anything differentiating the post area and sidebar. I need code to wrap the sidebar widgets into. I try using this code. .td-ss-main-sidebar aside.widget { border: 1px solid #eee; padding: 4px; }
it works for only custom code but I want it to have a background color as well as border and it should affect all blocks and anything showing on the sidebar.
2. I am using the grid style layout and I want border round each grid. See screenshot http://prntscr.com/cioqe2
3. I want each comments to be wrap in a box as well.
4. The author box have a box round it, I want same box for next and previous article.
5. I currently deactivate date because it is showing up on search engines. But I want the date to show on site but not on search engines.
6. I don’t want the breadcrumbs also to show on search engines. So how will I deactivate the seo friendly bread crumbs.
Is there any way to hide author box on specific post type?
I understand that this is hard, but I guess you can let me know about a code that disables author box on specific url structure like website.com/customtype/blogname
Hello Justin,
Our theme only has 1 related articles section. the one above the author box is coming from jetpack. Please check the jetpack settings and remove the element from there
Thank you!
Hello,
You can remove these elements for all modules and blocks from the theme panel->block settings->meta info
But if you only want to target the latest articles section, you will have to use css. please add this code in the theme panel -> custom css box:
.home .td_module_1 .td-post-author-name, .home .td_module_1 .td-post-author-name span, .home .td_module_1 .td-module-comments{
display:none!important;
}
Thank you!
Hi guys,
I’m loving this theme, but just had a question regarding related articles. In the link below, you will see that I have two related article sections (one above the author box and one below). In theme panel I went and set everything up to show two rows of related posts (6/10). I love it as well as the popups from more article box.
Anyways, I can’t find anywhere to delete the related article section that is above the author box (the one without any images). Am I missing something, or is this from a plugin that I’m totally spacing? I look forward to your reply.

Hello ozgurtaskaya,
Do you are referring to the mobile theme? To fix Author name issue just paste below code in the mobile theme’s custom code box:
.td-post-author-name div { display:inline; }
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.

Hello,
I guess that your custom class for your custom post type is .single-job_listing. You can try to use the code below and place it in Theme panel->Cusotm CSS area. Please notice that you are using an untested plugin and we have no idea about the theme behaviour with this plugin, sorry! Below you can try my suggestion.
.single-job_listing .author-box-wrap{
display:none;
}
Thanks.

Hello vm3567,
I guess that you want to hide the Author Box for a certain post, right? To do this, please notice that you will have to use the post ID for your post and then with a bit of CSS you can hide it, just like at this example ->
.postid-28592 .author-box-wrap{
display:none;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/6hkg5iTYsY
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you want to achieve so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.

I run a multi-author blog and it has recently come to my attention that any writer who isn’t an “Admin” cannot view the “Post Settings” section that shows below the editor box. (The area where you select a Primary category, input a subtitle, manage the smartlist theme, etc.)
One of my writers told me that he was unable to view those settings today, and he’s been able to view them before. I’m assuming that he hasn’t been able to see them since we upgraded to the 7.3 theme. Before then, he tells me he was able to see it. I know this because I’ve been having to select “Primary” categories for a lot of our writers for the past few weeks, and I assumed that everyone was just being forgetful and rushing to submit posts.
I was able to log into his account (and other accounts who aren’t Admins) and I was able to replicate the issue. If I log into an account that is a WordPress Admin, I can see the settings just fine. I’ve tried to login as an Editor, Contributor and an Author, and I’m still unable to see the post settings.
This is what I see as an admin:

This is what editors, authors and contributors see:

Also, to reiterate my point, I cannot even see the option of “Post Settings” in the screen options pulldown tab at the top of the post editor page:

Can someone else see if they can replicate this issue on their end?
Hello,
There seems to be something wrong as this code worked for me and all people who asked for the removal of more from author. Please make sure the code is properly inserted in the custom css box and all other css in there has proper closing tags.
I tested the css again and more from author gets removed entirely.
Please check your custom css box. and if you cannot get it to work please provide a link to your site so I can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hi Andrei,
Thanks! The update has been successfully made.
I have a little issue with the author name of the post and the comment box, I had it disable and now is showing it.
I went to the theme panel/ post setting/show author name and enable comments i post and they are disable (grey).
But in the web I can still see them.
Is there another button that I have to disable?
You can also toggle “visbility” of the author box from the top right visible tab in the post edit page 🙂
Excellent. Thank you. I did not see the author box until I clicked on the Quick Edit link.
Yes, see the main WordPress Codex (docs) on WordPress.org for basic of using WordPress.
You can create users/authors from the WP admin panel (not theme panel), and you can specify an author “per post” when you create each post.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts
So, if you had a contributor named “Jane Smith” you would first make a user with that name, and set their user role to contributor, then you would go to your post and choose that person/user under the “author” box selector on each post.
Hope that helped! Welcome to WordPress! 🙂

Hello,
The author box link should link to the author page, not the homepage. You seem to have a redirect in place so please either check for any redirect rules you might have set or try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thank you!
HI @Chris
Thanks for your suggestion, I’ve added it on our todo list and we will consider it for future updates. Meanwhile you can try this css to hide comment counter in author box: http://screencast.com/t/CEMJEy1VGu0X
.td_top_authors .td-author-comments-count{
display: none;
}
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
