Hello,

@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu-full, .td-header-sp-top-menu {

}
.td_ul_login{
display:none!important;
}

width:100%!important;
}
#menu-td-demo-top-menu{

margin-right: auto;
display: table;
}}
Thank you!
Hello,
Well this is the way a block 16 displays content on a single column: https://www.screencast.com/t/G3TK8wqwn
The site is split in 3 sections. A block 16 needs 2 columns to display like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/TJX5M1cCJ
You cannot have 2×2 column layouts on the page as that would mean the theme needs 4 columns but only 3 are available.
Thank you!
Hi,
I generally use custom excerpt in every post for my site, but I want that only a specific block displays first opening words of a post. I can do it?
Thank you and best regards.
Yes, but not all blocks have the same thumbnail. Some of the blocks use one big thumbs and then multiple small ones like this one for example:
block 1: https://www.screencast.com/t/rurBtmCQq
and some use thumbs the same size like this one:
block 3: https://www.screencast.com/t/ZeZso137dRQy
Choose one of the 25 layouts that best fit your project
Thank you!
The loading image effect work on pages as well in our theme. Please check our demo to see this effect in action:
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
If you scroll down you will see the block images loading as you go down.
Thank you!
Hello,
The order in which the filtered posts show up in the slide is added by the post sort order in the block settings: https://www.screencast.com/t/auWjEw03dhA
Thank you!
Hello,
Yes, you can add the code just for a specific device if you use the advanced css section: https://www.screencast.com/t/MPrc6vXR0
You can do this for any block you want if you use the browser inspector and get the proper classes for each element.
Here is an example for block 18:
.td_block_18 .td_module_mx8 .td-module-thumb{
height: 500px;
}
Please use this guide in order to customize the theme css: https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
Thank you!
Hi,
I have tested the featured video option and it is working properly. You just have to follow the steps required. Select the video post format, then one of the recommended post templates. Add your video URL in the featured video field and update the post. Then the featured video will be displayed in the post page, and a featured image will be generated from this video – https://www.screencast.com/t/aHzCQTLyKTAL and displayed on the blocks. Make sure that you have enabled the thumb sizes in theme panel – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Please try and disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed and try this again.
Thanks
Hi,
Please try to regenerate your thumbnails using this guide, and also take note of the requirements for the server
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
After the regeneration process is complete, please clear any caching installed and check to see if the problem is resolved.
Thanks
The homepage at http://lowcosthousing.online/ has a couple of two column blocks (block 16) at the bottom, however, they are both rendering information in single column. Kindly check and help to resolve.
Hi,
You could create a child theme and modify the blocks that you want there. So then when you update the theme you will not lose any modifications for the blocks. Here is a guide if you want to use a child theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Please use the steps mentioned there to create a directory structure similar to the theme, copy the blocks that you want, make your customization then activate the child theme.
Thanks
Hello orlandodipino,
First of all, please ensure that you have enabled the category tag from Theme panel section, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/U9orARzDAq2 according to your modules used and then, if you will check our demo preview you will see that each block/module has own style, like this -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-1/
Thanks for your understanding!
All of the blocks have the same options.
Hi,
1. I would like to have the limit of letters on the post title on the thumbnails of blocks, so I have the same size
Here is the screenshot https://snag.gy/3Na9L0.jpg.
2. The same issue is on the category and blog pages:
Here is the screenshot https://snag.gy/tPb3fS.jpg
3. I want to remove Uncategorized category from the widget sidebar. How can I do that?
https://snag.gy/IPK2fQ.jpg
4. I can’t change the “:” on the shown part.
I was able to translate the “Contact us” part, but not the “:”. In the language I am using “:” should be changed to “`”
https://snag.gy/L7ART8.jpg
By default, subscribers and collaborators do not have access to the post settings block that allows them to set sources or via options.
I would like to grant them this possibility by default (if possible, only Post template, sources and via).
What permission do I need to add to this roles?
Also, is there code to do this for Block 18 and/or Slide? Thank you!
Hmm. Upgraded both Newsmag and wordpress to latest versions, and now I see this error
wp booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: td_block_template_11 is not set.
/home/euinfo/public_html/podcasts/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php

Hey,
that’s the way i did it like your tutorial shows, to create the thumbs. Furthermore i checked the thumb sizes for each module thats how i figured out which size the theme is using for a thumb used on block 2. I dont use any resizing plugin and i deactivated the others for testing purposes, but problem still remains.
I also made a fresh install on my local server and tested it. Same problem. Thats a weird thing. I’ve uploaded a picture with all automatically resizes: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=65156565575409441647
EDIT: It looks like the pictures just getting cutted on the bottom.

So I am testing filtering on a category AND a filter on our staging website:
http://699.25a.myftpupload.com/
We are using v7.7 of the Newspaper theme and database. We are using [tagdiv] Block 18 and introducing it into a widget on the home page called Research and Resources.
The widget has the following configuration:
show 3 posts.
Filter is set to show only Research and Resource categorized posts (one category ID=10)
We are also filtering by tag-slug called:
rr-home
Here are the posts using that tag:
http://699.25a.myftpupload.com/tag/rr-home/
Note the Research and Resources sidebar on the tag page /rr-home is using a different widget with the same Block 18 and JUST filtering on the Research and Resources category without the tag filter. This works perfectly!
On the home pagem the Research and Resources widget on the right, with the tag filter for rr-home no posts appear, even though 1 post should appear — the one tagged with rr-home, namely: http://699.25a.myftpupload.com/451-research-rise-of-the-machines-part-1-has-the-labor-market-benefited-from-technology/
What am I missing here? Can’t category and tag filters be used together?
Hello,
If you want to add a read more button to a block that does not have this feature you will have to edit the module code and add the red more button to the code. You can copy it from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/OTwwNQ5NqKe and place the code in the module you want to have a read more button on. Ypu can check this list to see which block uses which module: https://www.screencast.com/t/3hRMVWAVt
Thank you!
Thank you for your answer.
I just need to know will I lose changes when theme is upgraded. For example, if I edit files td_block.php, td_block_1.php, td_block_3.php, style.css what will happen with those files when upgrading theme to new version?
Is it possible to change those files and save it somewhere in wordpress/theme folders where they will override any further update of those files. Something like that is possible in joomla, I don’t know for wordpress.
Hi,
I think I understand now what you are trying to achieve. Maybe it is something like in this example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NtQrgSVkV
If this is what you want you can use this code and experiment with different height values, for other post title lengths to achieve the look you want. Or adapt it for other blocks and modules if you want.
.td_block_4
.td_module_2
.td-module-title {
height: 50px;
}
Thanks
Hi,
You could try a code like this, to make the titles on that particular block header style, in the footer, have a specific background color – https://www.screencast.com/t/f4AQBS8r
This is the code used
.td-footer-wrapper .td-block-title span {
background-color: #ff3c1f !important;
}
.td-footer-wrapper div
.td_block_template_4
.td-block-title > *:before {
border-color: #ff3c1f transparent transparent transparent;
}
Thanks

Hi!
I have installed the Newspaper themes. When I tried to install the Visual Composer, the FTP access is blocked by my workplace network (the website is put in my workplace server). I have enquired the web hoster and they said there is no way for them to open the server.
Could you tell me how I can install the Visual Composer manually with FTP software?
Thanks a lot!!
What have I tried but failed:
I have tried to extract the zip file “js_composer.zip”, which is located in “Newspaper-tf\plugins” in the zip file downloaded from Themeforest. I tried to put it in the regular plugin folder on FTP, but it makes the whole admin system not working.
