I have some questions here, and instead of posting them all in different questions, I’ll just post them in one large question:
My website is: http://www.livelovefruit.com
1. How do I erase the excess pink space from the top of footer to snap closer to logo and same with bottom of footer to snap closer to social icons?
2. How do I make the social icons in footer menu a bit bigger? And how do I make the hover colour on those icons a solid purple colour instead of the colours constantly changing?
3. Chris’s Pagespeed Custom Code no longer works (the one that you post at the end of the functions.php – will he be coming out with a new one that works with Newspaper 6?)
4. How do I move the bottom share options (at the end of my posts), above my taboola advertisement so that they appear right at end of article?
5. Is there a code so that my custom ad 1 will appear underneath (or above) the author box?
Thank you kindly! Newspaper 6 is awesome!
Hi, as I saw there was no widget to replicate the procedure of login like the one found on the top-bar menu, I created a plugin that adds a widget that replicates this procedure.
The plugin takes the code found in Newspaper->parts->header->top-menu.php and contains the code found from line 15 to 97.
I tested it and it works fine, with only exception that if the authors in the future change the login code, this plugin will be outdated. So until the authors create a widget that comes with the theme that implements login procedure, with this custom made plugin you will be able to have the out of the box login provided with the Newspaper 6 Theme.
After you install the plugin, you will see it with the name “Custom Newspaper 6 Login Widget”. Activate it and go to Appearance->Widgets and simply drag it to your sidebar.
Thanks.

Hi,
You will have to remove author box from each post template that you use – http://screencast.com/t/VmU3nSLGkpR and it will be removed also from page source.
Thanks!
You would need to insert that into the template file for the module/layout for post page you happen to be using for your site. Look at the files in the root of the theme folder.
eg., if using single template 5 … well, guess which files that would be ? 😉
single_template_5.php
loop-single-5.php
so, if you look at loop-single.5 you might see this
<div class="td-post-text-content">
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_content();?>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<footer>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_post_pagination();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_review();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_source_and_via();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_like_tweet();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
And so you might insert your code either in footer area above the post pagination, replace the social sharing element; or after author box … etc.
Often you can test by simply putting some text into a spot in above file, like
<p>Happy Sunday Everybody - this is a test.</p>
and see where that prints on your post page.
Hope that helped 🙂
Thank you, first about opening in new window is ok.
About fb and tw share buttons i wish to have butons like here (if possible) above article:

http://prntscr.com/7g0m7x
Can I remove “more from author”box and to show only related articles?
http://prntscr.com/7g0nkr
Thank you very much, for excellent support
Hi,
You can enable author box on articles – http://screencast.com/t/OypSRQiHM and add profile description from User profile – http://screencast.com/t/Wq5Opf8yM so you will have author on all articles created – http://screencast.com/t/OeFBgfJOXJBL
You can also display author box on top of the article for example – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-author-box-to-top-of-post/#post-50446 this solution is for newsmag theme but it works also on newspaper.
Please provide more details if this is not what you mean.
Thanks!
I’ve got several authors in my WP site with Newsmag theme.
When a user has a WP account associated, it takes his Gravatar image, and website shows it properly inside author box (under the post).
When I upload an author image, author box is a little bit enlarged and not properly formatted.
You can see the difference through this URLs:
http://webpointzero.com/digital/riccardo-scandellari-net-branding-976/ (Gravatar)
http://webpointzero.com/social/twitter-porno-272/ (Uploaded Image)
You can add it at bottom of your single-loop.php template, or bottom of the post template you’re using.
For example I use loop-single-2.php for my default post template, along with single_template_2.php …
I moved the categories to right above my tags with a line break as they conflicted with Google News scraping the headline, but I did want them on the page.
SO, you could easily insert a shortcode your your HTML in that spot, such as here:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
[ your custom code ]
</footer>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->related_posts();?>
[ your custom code ]
Hi,
You can also try theme’s author box and include or exclude the author you don’t want or do want to show up: http://screencast.com/t/kPYO0GrWDNl
This isn’t include any description or social for the author bu you could try this to adjust it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/author-box-help/
You can also use one of those I’ve pasted below:
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-author-box/
– https://wordpress.org/plugins/fancier-author-box/
Note that we haven’t tested any of those plugins so I can’t guarantee that will work flawlessly.
Thanks
The version 1.5 changes;
note that some of the modules “changed” and so if you were using these ; they would need to be updated to the new names — or as we did on home page; just replace old item with new one. 🙂
[ Version 1.5 ]
The following shortcodes and widgets have been renamed:
* td_ad_box -> td_block_ad_box
* td_authors -> td_block_authors
* td_homepage_full_1 -> td_block_homepage_full_1
* td_popular_categories -> td_block_popular_categories
* td_video_vimeo -> td_block_video_vimeo
* td_video_youtube -> td_block_video_youtube
* td_text_with_title -> td_block_text_with_title
* td_slide -> td_block_slide
* td_social_counter -> td_block_social_counter
* Rename the short codes via SQL
* Please note that the renamed widgets have to be re added to each sidebar after this update. Make sure that you backup your database and if possible get the widget list from your sidebars.
Hi,
You can edit post template and copy author box code and paste it where you need to appear – http://screencast.com/t/Yjn83rHq8

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there was a way to add the author box to the top of the post under the feature image, so that there is an author box at the top and bottom of the post. As we will have a lot of guest bloggers on our site it would be great to ensure that readers know straight away who has posted the blog.
Cheers
Adam
Hello! First of all, wanted to say thank you for such a flexible theme. Great stuff, after a month of using it I have found and added all the stuff I needed it seems, except 2 things.
The first and the most important one. Is it possible to add a filter (similar to “posts by the current author”) to a block? Or even make a new one that would work? What I want is to have one of the blocks (13) that would automatically show current author’s posts in the website/author/*** page. Trying to add “posts by member” to members profile pages.
And the second question.
When I have lots of photographs inside a post and using modal function for each of them, lightbox works perfectly and scrolls my page down along with content, sidebar scrolls up and down also fine. However, if you have a sidebar with more then 3 modules on it (eg. tall block with a few modules – 4th module (post in my case) is below the bottom screen line) and then scroll the page down by using lightbox several times (eg. 5-6 or more photographs), you can see that the sidebar scrolls down and stops (if it needs to) as well, but as soon as you close the lightbox by clicking outside a photograph, block with modules just disappears from the sidebar. Apparently it can be found at the bottom of the page by scrolling the page to the very bottom, or it appears immediately if you scroll up.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi,
I also checked this and seems that it is an issue there. Please use this custom css to change color for author box title – http://screencast.com/t/Qbml0ujSvE
.td_top_authors .block-title span {
background-color: #4D6DEC !important;
}
.td_top_authors .block-title {
border-color: #4D6DEC !important;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and did not found any issues with menu item on Chrome – http://screencast.com/t/GGs3BeCx7N
1. Do you use any shortcodes related to those plugins in that page?
Also please provide more details about this. How do you add a page in the menu?
As above you say:
As soon as I “UNCONNECTED” the Page ID from the Menu, all the plugins worked fine.
And in the last post:
Why adding pages to the menu (to allow a full dropdown that is NOT a mega menu)
2. Please try this custom css to hide posts and comments count – http://screencast.com/t/OuvOqy6hhu
.author-box-wrap .td-author-counters {
display: none;
}
Ok, Just had the update from a guy called Krystian Wojcik at Envato. He writes the following.
Sorry for the confusion, we do allow the authors to add Google analytics box to their themes but it needs to be included as a plugin.
Sorry for my mistake
So now I’m more confused than ever lol
Well that’s dumb.
I suppose since it’s already offering in numerous plugins, and also found in YOAST SEO, and can easily be inserted into a header.php template, not a terrible thing.
But I find that somewhat hard to believe, or even justifiable — that’s like saying you can’t insert a link to your Piwik stats into a theme, or you can’t have a box to put in your AdSense codes … makes zero sense whatsoever. It’s just a box that prints the “block of text” into the header file.
Now if the theme developer is piggybacking their own GA code in the theme, THAT would be bad; but providing customers / users / admins a way to put the GA code into the theme — that’s a convenience factor for those buying themes, many of whom are newbies to WP (obviously if you read ANY support forum for themes).
I’m raising the stupid flag on this one — I can’t imagine WHAT the security issue would be with this. It’s simply a convenience — just like adding a copyright notice to footer, or adding in author meta for post authors … sheesh (!).
Hi,
This might help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/multiple-authors-in-newspaper-4/ or to add conditional author boxes you can do it from posts’s templates, here: http://screencast.com/t/jim4zRpmhaKl
Thanks
Does anyone know how to make the guest-authors’ author box show up? Or how to conditionally insert multiple author boxes in version 4?
2 other things that came to mind…
1. How to change the Twitter EMBED width percentage? In the Newspaper CSS I figured it out. In NewsMag, there is no Twitter specific CSS embed option. Only EMBED, which I already set to 100%, but seeing no change.
2. How to remove the POST and COMMENT count on the Author Page. I love the Author’s Box, but those counts I would like to remove.
Thanks,
Hi,
You can disable Author box from Theme Panel > Post Settings: http://screencast.com/t/wb7isABV3 but it will be disabled for all articles.
You can hide it via css for specific posts using post ID: http://screencast.com/t/XomB4CiKXK0k
.postid-xx .author-box-wrap {
display: none;
}
You can check post ID like this: http://screencast.com/t/efodiPKCCnKW
Thanks!
Hi I can not figuere it out, how can I hide the author box on certain posts or pages…
Please advice me on this…
Thanks
Hello,
I’d like to know how to to have the author list (using the author box block) to display all the author on my site along with their description and link to social media etc…
When we use the author block list function integrated into the theme only the avatar appear with author name.
thx for your answer.
in the page-author-box.php parts template (and most likely in more templates) you use the follwoing code:
$part_cur_auth_obj->user_url . ‘”>’ . $part_cur_auth_obj->user_url
echo $part_cur_auth_obj->description
From my point of view this is a potential big security issue. You need to encode them with esc_html / esc_attr / esc_url. Yes WP does most likely do some input sanitization. But it is always very important to also encode the output.
And espcially on this page. This is the user profile. Absolutely every user will have access to this page (but my otherwise be very restricted) and can enter information here.
Thanks
Hello,
I wanted the author, date and comment box to not show up on the homepage, but only on single pages. How can I go about doing this?
