Hello,
Not all blocks can be handled individually in our theme. The related articles color is grabbed from the theme accent color you set here: https://www.screencast.com/t/j19gs2osq This color will be grabbed by multiple elements on your site including links, hover colors and block/widget titles.
If you need further customization to the related articles element, you will need to use css to customize the colors for this block in particular. Please let us know if you need to customize the related articles element and specify how you want it so we can provide the proper code.
Thank you!
Hi all,
We recently launched a new site using the Newspaper theme (www.ilaks.no), and have a issue for which we cannot find a good solution.
All posts are assigned to a “News” category, and any featured article that should stay on top is also added to the “Featured” category.
As you can see on the site, there is one featured article shown on the top of the front page. This is achieved using a block which shows only one post, from the Featured category.
Following after, we have several blocks for additional articles (from the News category).
Our problem: we cannot reliably hide duplicate posts.
We have attempted to..:
1. Exclude the “Featured” category from the remaining blocks
This causes previously featured articles to disappear from the front page, as they are still in the Featured category. (We cannot ask all the editors to remove previous articles from the Featured category every time a new featured post is added.)
2. Use the “Unique articles” feature
Works well for the initial page load, but since we need pagination, this causes duplicates when loading additional posts.
3. Apply offsets to the blocks
This causes the top featured article to appear twice, which we need to avoid. We have no way of hiding the featured article from the subsequent blocks, as its position will change.
None of the above provide a solution that is satisfactory.
Do you have any suggestions to how we can solve this issue?
I added a new post on Sunday, made it a feature, added a view blocks to show some new categories and a new menu item and when viewing it on my computer on both firefox and chrome I don’t see the changes / additions that I made. I checked the website on my phone and everything is there. I thought it was my cache so I have it cleared on both browsers, cleared my cache with the website and I still can’t see the updates I made on a computer view but can see them mobile.
Did I possibly make a mobile change? If so how do I change that?
Thanks –
SB
Hello ariful,
Unfortunately, our theme has not been designed to use the CPT in Latest Articles, feature from our theme, sorry! The custom post type will appear only in Blocks. So, in this case, a quick solution would be to use a Default Page Template (not Pagebuilder+Latest Articles+Pagination) and then, at the bottom of your page you should use your CPT and sorting it by Latest Articles.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
The Big Grid Full 1 don’t display the featured picture of the post. Some featured pictures display on some blocks but not on the others. It seems all random.
The Grid that I need the most is the Big Grid Full 1.
I already cleaned the cache, installed the latest version of the Newspaper theme.
Cheers,
Francesco
Hi,
If you want to have clean images, without any gradient, you could use style 2 and also add this custom css in Theme PAnel > Custom Css:
.td_block_image_box.td-image-box-style-2 .entry-title a:empty {
display: none;
}
If it is not what you mean please provide a link to a page where you use Image Box and provide more details.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please note that we answer from most older topics in order and if you add a reply or more we will get later to you.
Sorry for the delay but we don’t work on weekends and yestarday we had day off due to International Workers’ Day. It was a note to the support hours!
I have checked your page, but I cannot see any issue with block 19. It looks exactly like on our demo and like it should look on 2 columns – https://www.screencast.com/t/yIC3gegLO – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-19/
You can always limit the post number if you don’t want to display so many and add pagination to the block.
Thanks!
Hi,
If you use default post style for example, the article top ad appears just above it – https://www.screencast.com/t/TXp3l1FU
If you want to place a custom ad just bellow to a specific image from your post content, you will need to please the shortcode manually in html text editor – https://www.screencast.com/t/WfPSFImmB1t
[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1" tdc_css=""]
Thanks!
Hello wilfredo,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to add ads for category pages. If you want to add some ads there, you should edit the category pages and use do_shortcode method, like this ->
<?php echo do_shortcode (‘[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]‘); ?> -> https://www.screencast.com/t/gBZ5dwc4OJ
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Lavesh,
Ensure that all of your used blocks thumbnails are enabled from Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/b89rYM1e8 Clear all your caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello
It seems you do not have a static page set as your homepage but rather a list of your latest posts. This is a WordPress setting that is found here: https://www.screencast.com/t/wlAH7txj1AL
You can select a page to set as your homepage and then you can use visual composer to add block elements to that page: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
Thank you and have a nice day!
How do i add content after post items – after related articles? I want to add a block. http://www.christiantruthcenter.com/kingdom-of-darkness-cannot-cast-out-demons/
Hello lymwebdes,
Unfortunately, we do not recommend to change the size for our default blocks because then you can break the theme layout, sorry! If you want to make some changes, you should do it yourself because this service is custom and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry! As a hint, you should edit the td_util.php core file.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Azhar Nadeem,
1)At the moment, the header templates are a global option for blocks in homepage and only for Widgets, this option is individual. Most likely, in the future, this option will become individual and for the homepage.
2)Unfortunately, this type of block is not available for Widgets section. This option is available only for post page. You should use a simple block 7 setups by Latest Articles.
3)Unique Articles option has been designed to be used only for Homepage, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/
4)Please notice that option is available only in this demo. Each demo has own design and style and if you want to achieve the same functionality of it, you should install the demo or use a bit of Custom CSS to do it. It is just a simple TABs, an element of Visual Composer.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
From what I understand some changes you make to the text blocks are not saving properly. When you add the content in the text block and save it, then make changes to other parts of the page structure, the settings are not remaining.
I suggest you check the theme status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
This could be why some changes you are making are not saving as intended.
Please correct me if I misunderstand the problem.
Thanks
Hello,
In order to change the homepage type from a default post list to a static page, you will have to change it here:
https://www.screencast.com/t/grP0xUjRqHo Then you can use visual composer to add elements to your page you set as a homepage. Our theme provides many blocks to choose from: https://www.screencast.com/t/IkHM51ANrzUQ
Also you will have to select the page template that suits your project best: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
Thank you!
Hello,
On posts the category tag will grab the color of the primary category color: https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/ The category color is set on the category settings section: https://www.screencast.com/t/honYKDbwy1n
The tag background color is only added on the hover and is grabbed from the theme accent color. THey can be changed with css if you need to change the tag colors.
.td-post-small-box a{
background-color:red;
color:white;
}
The color of the post titles can only be changed with css also. It depends on the block where you want to change the color as not all blocks implement the title in the same way.
.td_module_wrap .td-module-title a{
color:Red;
}
You can add css codes in the theme panel-> custom css box.
Thank you!
You can set up a row with 4 columns and use blocks with 1 post per column: http://eu-uutiset.fi/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/4-blocks-aside.jpg
This will give you this result: http://eu-uutiset.fi/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/4-blocks-aside-result.jpg
Hi,
The URL for the block should direct to the address you want if the link is valid. If you want to direct the block title to the category page enter the address of the category
– https://www.screencast.com/t/JXLtuaIFT8S
– https://www.screencast.com/t/pP7txumnYzU
The current link you entered is not valid from what I can tell
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TqFpOBGpv – https://www.screencast.com/t/4fiXSOCttsk
Try creating a test page and enter a test address to see if it directs as intended, like google.com for example.
If this is not working, maybe there is a plugin or custom code that is affecting this. You could try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, as a test and see if it works properly.
Thanks
Hello,
I have inspected your website and I did not find any blockquote inside it. Provide a specific URL so I can identify this element and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hello vikaskukreja83,
Ensure that you right added the size of your image from post editor, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/w7PPwpfAzt Select the full size of the image. Probably, you have accidentally selected the thumbnail size and that’s why you bring this error. Please ensure that all of the thumbnail settings are set to “on” in the theme panel, and then try the thumbnail regeneration per the following suggestion here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Clear all your caches and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
In order to do this you would have to use blocks that show the title on top of the image if you want consistency like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/3KXuHGe5ah This type of block can have this css code to make it look like the big grid:
.td_module_mx1 .entry-title a{
background-color: rgba(0, 114, 0, 0.7);
}
result: https://www.screencast.com/t/co0Q3iBlDLHC
But for blocks that do not have the post title over the image, the effect will not be the same.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can use the Advanced Css fields available in the theme panel – https://www.screencast.com/t/ltTmlleFr
There you could enter your custom code based on the different device selection. For example if you would like to change the block title font size on phones, you could do it like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SbPpRNqBH
You can identify the text or element you want to customize using the browser inspector
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
Then you can create custom code and enter it in the theme panel, in order to make these modifications.
Thanks
Hello,
Unfortunately our theme does not support a 4 post section on a row. Our theme was built on a grid system that allows wither 3 or 5 posts, but not 4. The screenshot you show is either not our theme or a custom element added to the the site that does not come from the theme. Here is a list of our theme blocks and how they can display based on the layout you choose: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
You can switch blocks from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/o6wXRFBv
Thank you!
Hi,
It seems you are entering the categories in the filter section. That controls the categories from which the block will display posts. By excluding them the block will not display posts from these. The feature that is present in the second screenshot is the ajax filter – https://www.screencast.com/t/mrGL7rpI3HeS
Please note that the ajax filter will display the category Id’s that you enter in the required field. This feature does not support excluding categories, you must enter the category Id that you want to be displayed.
More information in the tutorial provided above, about the options and settings available for the blocks.
Thanks
