Couple things
WordPress only “auto embeds” OEMBED capable video.
Second, generally you can’t embed content from other sites without permission. In fact, they may preclude loading on other sites than their own and hence it won’t work.
If you have permission, reaching out to them for info likely best option as what you’re attempting is not related to theme in any way, but basic HTML. Some may block loading from iFrame.
Also, make sure you are putting your HTML in your post/page in the text editor mode, NOT the code editor mode as this will break your HTML.
In your example above you have no closing divs which I’m assuming is just for the example?
Check F12/console view in your browser for errors that might be causing issues.
If you “view source” for the example URL you’re trying to embed you will see it’s not actually a video file, but a script page loading separate player element via javascript. Some of that might not be allowable under an iframe in browser and so gets blocked.
Just food for thought.
Is there any way to get that effect outside of using the block settings?
How would I got about making my Category Header look exactly like my Main Menu Bar? As it is now the Category Header is just a small rectangular box that doesn’t go the full width of the block. I’d like it to be full width, with the same color and underline stripe that my Menu Bar has.
Thank You!
Hi, I would like to know if there’s an easy way to totally deactivate the category tags on SPECIFIC blocks/modules.
Or a hint where I should look at?
The theme options seem to only hide them, I would like – for some specific block numbers – to totally deactive them and prevent any category link URL to be created in the code.
I know it seems a bit like custom work (which you don’t do here), but any guidance as to where to look at to achieve this (if possible) would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Is there anyway to set up Bloks ans Grids to show categories instead posts?
I have a travel blog, and countries are categories: South Africa, Namibia, Botswana.
Continents are categories: Americas, Asia, Europe.
Is there anyway to show this on the blocks? And when I click it goes to the category page?
Thanks
Hello,
I purchased NewsPaper 7 three times. I like this template very much
I have encountered trouble now.
This is the new NewsPaper 7 issue, which is creating a post.
Insert a line in the text in a certain part, or insert a line feed.
Next, make corrections to other parts and check the preview screen.
Then, for some reason, the place that changed first is returned to original.
This is not only a text phenomenon.
For example:
I used Visual Composer and created several text blocks.
Next, fix or add another part.
Then preview or save.
Next, check the update screen.
Then, for some reason, the final corrected part will be reflected normally, but the part that was modified first will either return to its original state or will disappear completely.
– –
I have experienced this phenomenon for the first time in NewsPaper 7’s third use. That was not the second template.
Is there such a change in specification in the latest update?
My guess is, apparently, one of the causes of this problem.
It looks as though Adsense Manager is causing it.
Because Adsense Manager tag. (Simple tag)
Once it is deleted, it will be recovered.
I am very embarrassed by this mysterious phenomenon.
Advice please.

CSS is not working with the theme blocks… like if I want to change the spacing inside the theme blocks, I am unable. Is it possible? (Even after !important)
Thanks for your reply.
It’s a disapointment for me, as Big grids used to work fine with a 2 column layout on my site.
Accordingly, I have to change the layout and I’d like to change title fonts. Unfortunately, if I’m looking for Big grid full 2 (td_block_big_grid_fl_2), it says “Module MX1″9, but it is nowhere to be found in “Theme fonts > modules MX and other blocks – article title”. Same for td_block_big_grid_fl_4 which supposedly uses “module MX21”, but I can’t find it either. It seems lots of “mx” are missing in the title font section.
Thanks for your support.
Hi,
You can use the filter for the ajax dropdown, and enter only the category ID’s that you want to be displayed – https://www.screencast.com/t/PT6CxWWeqp
More information about all the available block settings here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks
Please, my Visual Composer plugin in, bought with Newspaper theme, is blocked.
I need an In-Stock Licence to update it, please help me!
Hi,
Those titles can be changed in Theme panel->Theme colors in the footer section, like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/EVBHlbsi8H1
For the alignment you could use this code – https://www.screencast.com/t/qyBEgRQrGS
.td-footer-wrapper .block-title span {
padding-left: 0;
}
Thanks
Hey there,
I understand that once a post has been tagged in a category, it will appear normally in a block. However, I noticed that a post has been tagged in numerous categories (more than 1), it will only showcase the 1st category (alphabatically listed), in which case as the image shows, “Customer Management” when I highlight “Inventory Management”. Is there a way I can control the category it is being shown when tagged in multiple categories? Please advice on this. Hope to hear from you soon, cheers!

I need block 1 to only display sub-category for each selected cat.
Please help as attached image.
Hi,
There is no option to set a title for the Big grids, that is available only for blocks. However you can try the suggestions mentioned in these topics – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-grid-title-and-update/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-grid-1-2/
Thanks
Hi Simion,
Your response is extremely frustrating because it show you did not spend the time to read what I have done so far to test this problem.
I have disabled all plugins to test this problem. It does not matter what plugins are activated or deactivated because the problem is the theme.
When the Newspaper theme is activated, the links do not work. The intermittent issue is only some links do not work. However, when I switch to the 2016 theme, the links instantly begin working. When I switch back to the Newspaper theme, the links no longer work. Clearly a theme issue.
Please explain how Visual Composer is essential and required for the proper functionality to display a single post. Because it isn’t AFAIK. It is important for displaying modules/blocks and very useful for pages, however, it is not used on posts AFAIK.
I should also note that I have read about WordPress embeds in depth and have tried all of their embed strategies and the problem still persists. I have also posted to Stack Exchange to get help but the problem is the theme, not WordPress.
Thank you
Hi,
Each post template is custom made and displays the featured image with it’s afferent style – https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
For pages you could use Block 20 that uses a module similar to that post template – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-20/
Thanks
Hi,
I’m wondering if the theme is based on Less. I’d like to build a custom css only with the component I use. The main css file is about 1mb size, when I use only a small part of it. For example, I don’t need all the headers style and I use only a few block.
Is there a way to compile only the elements that I need?
Hello,
You can use the category description if you want to place a text on a category page but you cannot use visual composer blocks on category pages. The categories are not standard pages as they cannot be edited as you would a page. Visual composer does not provide any category editing options. It can be done by altering the category templates though if you have the proper coding skills. You can use a do_shortcode function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/ in the category templates to insert a visual composer block into a category.
Thank you!
Hello,
The message was introduced in the current version as mentioned in the change log: https://www.screencast.com/t/ERUOsLGk
The big grids were never meant to display on a 1 or 2 column layout. You need a full 3 columns layout in order to use a big grid.
As for the module used on each one, you can simply access this section of the theme panel to see what mkodule is used on what block: https://www.screencast.com/t/4T4GsivncMI
Thank you!
Hi,
1. If you are talking about this space in the page mega menu – https://www.screencast.com/t/vSbN3TY7U you could modify the padding – https://www.screencast.com/t/CoW3rRW5t using a code like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/q794GFK9
This is the code used
.td-mega-menu-page
.td-mega-grid
.td_block_wrap {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
2. You could set a hover on those items like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/X8ebqJuXb
This is the code used (you may modify the colors as you wish or add additional customization)
.td-mega-menu-page
.td_block_text_with_title
a:hover {
background-color: #dd3333;
color: white;
}
3. For the font you could use something like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/8T7HqNk3Ih9A
This is the code used
.td-mega-menu-page
.td_block_text_with_title
a {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 20px;
}
All these css codes must be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css – https://www.screencast.com/t/SVNysnTu
Thanks
Simple question, so bear with me — Regular Blocks have custom titles at the top. How can I include those with Big Grid blocks?
For example, Block 14 has a custom title at the top, with three blocks elements beneath.
I want to do that with Big Grids 9, 10, 11, etc. — a custom title at the top, with whatever contents following below.
Any help?
Hi,
I would like to deliver ‘brand day’ ads. (full background coverage plus a big banner in between at the top).
I´m building the site, so it is under maintenance, sorry for can not show (can I send you an image by email?)
Having the the background image is more than half of the way so it is a great feature.
The other things I need to display it are:
– A gap (1024×250 in this case, but doesn´t matter) between the main menu and the first block of a page (or the title of any article in a post).
-Then I would like to be able to place a link in the image to click on it.
Hope this is possible, but thanks for your atention in any case,
Best regards
Dont work for me, the stretch row option dont work on any kind of VC block. I even tried creating a new page and nothing.
I use background color and header style 12 if u can try to reproduce the problem.
