Hi,
The Featured category is created by default, and you can assign posts to it just like in any normal category. This category is also hidden, so the featured category tag will not be displayed on pages or modules. More information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/
You can filter the posts that are displayed on big grids and blocks by many factors. Everything is explained in this block tutorial – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
You can always search for more information in the theme documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/ or in the forum.
Thanks
But also the link that you show has the text to the right of the image, no byline, no excerpt. That’s not what my understanding of how it’s supposed to look is. (Not what the layout description shows here https://www.dropbox.com/s/v8b9zsn2t869jny/Screenshot%202017-03-20%2017.49.23.png?dl=0)
This is how it works when it has one block with three entires following the same filter–it follows the preview image in VC and behaves as expected:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kl1pwkllc6wf2jc/Screenshot%202017-03-20%2017.46.12.png?dl=0
That’s what I want.
But as soon as I divide the row into three columns with their own blocks so I can control the filters separately it changes to this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/efbn4t4pc8pispy/Screenshot%202017-03-20%2017.47.45.png?dl=0
Totally different look in the exact same space with the same block.
so as my titles says how do we show date in block 25, 12 & 7 ?
i have done every possible way to do this but cant find any option to enable this. please help.
By using the code directly it does not work.
I want to insert the banners in the center Article in the case of very long posts.
I would avoid using plugins, I tried inserting a code directly in the article similar to this:
<div align=”center”>
<script async src=”//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js”></script>
<!– Homepage Leaderboard –>
<ins class=”adsbygoogle”
style=”display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px”
data-ad-client=”ca-pub-1234567890123456″
data-ad-slot=”1234567890″></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
</div>
Thanks
thanks you this helped me a lot, one other question how do i get the blocks to create new pages. I’m using block 11 on my home page to show my old post but its loading an infinite number of posts. i want it to show a limited number of post so that the home page is not too long.
Use Child theme.
The child theme support included in our themes is intended for developers to modify core parts of the theme without modifying the actual theme. This allows you to keep updating the theme without loosing your changes.
Hi, I already added custom fields.
I just want know if there is a workaround to avoid quotes from shortcode [acf field=”bundle”] breaking the block code of newspaper theme when passed as post parameter
:
[td_block_13 separator=”” post_ids=”[acf field=”bundle”]” tdc_css=””]
Thanks,
Francesco
Hi. Can someone help me please with blocks, tags and ads. Ive been reading the documentation for days and there is very little assistance if you are not 100% familiar with the theme to start with, and even less on the videos. Im desperate.
So I am doing the about page for my site. And I used the Author Box but it is not showing me as the author. It asks for the Author ID but is that the Author Username or is that the WordPress UserID given when the User is created. If it is the latter then I am not sure where I can find that number. I have read through the documentation for the theme but that documentation doesn’t talk about configuring the blocks. Is there another resource that explains how to use different blocks?
Hi, Slmlon
This İmage Box Block =>>> 
Besides, I did what you said, it did not.
Hi,
Please note that the thumbnails displayed on blocks depend on the aspect ratio of the images used, as explained here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ and it is best to experiment with different sizes to see which offers the best results. And this is how the theme cropping system for the featured image is made – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
If this is not what you are asking it would be helpful if you could provide a link to your website and more details, so we can inspect the issue.
Thanks
The quote I am tying to change is the block quote as in your screencast image. Just the basic [oversized quote mark] function.
I have gone into the settings I mentioned in the original post. I have attempted to change the point size, trying 10 and 15 points to see what effect. It appears not to have any effect on the basic block quote (as in your screenshot) when I manipulate point size in the – theme panel – Theme fonts – post content – default block quote settings.
If I change this, will it only impact future posts, and not ones that are in draft?
If the answer is that it impacts posts in draft, then I can tell you with certainty that the function is not working.
Good afternoon.
Very interested in how to change the color of the paging buttons in all the blocks throughout the site. I use the following settings: block settings-pagination-next prev ajax.
I’m sure that this can be solved using CSS.
Just interested in how I can insert an icon and a link to the social red https://ok.ru/?
Thanks!
Hello ivpt,
Unfortunately, at the moment, our theme does not have any such an option for this, sorry! The only alternative in this regard is to make this from coding.
The sticky posts were removed because they created layout issues that could not be overcome with our theme modules and blocks. We are aware that it limits a WordPress functionality but our theme also brings much more functionality to the table.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Simion, sure i do not use visual composer so i think to place this code:
<?php echo do_shortcode ('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
Hi, I need to insert a shortcode to define post_ids for a block from an adavanced custom field value.
Something like this:
[td_block_13 separator=”” post_ids=”[acf field=”bundle”]” tdc_css=””]
But this breaks the syntax.
How can I solve this?
Thanks,
Francesco
Hello visitinglapland,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you want to do, sorry! If you want to change the style and the layout of the Big Grid/Block, notice that you need to do some additional customizations to the theme core files where all of these elements are created. Notice that is not a simple task, and if you do not have a reliable knowledge, in this case, you can break these. As a hint, for example, if you want to change the Big Grid 1, you should edit the td_block_big_grid_1.php core file, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/iTudD14v7a. Notice that is not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
It is not that simple to create a new pagination for a block. This requires coding skills and if you want to implement something like this, I suggest hiring a freelancer/developer to help you achieve this because it is not an easy task and unfortunately we can not provide custom work at the moment, sorry. Maybe some new options regarding this will be available in a future update, but I can not promise anything or give an exact date.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello,
Not all elements have that option, yes. We added the option for our theme blocks, not the elements of visual composer. The video player is not a custom theme element. It is a visual composer element so we cannot add settings to it as we cannot alter the visual composer code as it will break our license agreement.
All the block title colors can be changed at once from the theme panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/JpR5s95N
You cannot change individual colors for elements that do not have the setting present as blocks do.
Thank you!
Hi,
I understand now what you want to achieve but it will not work like that unfortunately. Block templates are selected fro all blocks at once: https://www.screencast.com/t/V87TyKX5es8
You cannot change a specific block’s template just by adding a custom class to it in the block settings.
Thank you!

Hello masbocah,
Please notice that the only automatically way to add an article ad between paragraphs is using the Article Inline Ad which can be found in Theme Panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/8bFNLvzW Another alternative for you would be to manually add the shortcode for each paragraph in the Post Editor section, like this ->
[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"] -> https://www.screencast.com/t/hzJiRbls66 Also, do not forget to add the ad code in your custom ad 1 field, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/8mhYpMgYik
Thanks for your understanding!
Can someone please share Newsmag-Default Contact page code? My existing contact page from the Installation Demo is not well-formatted and does not look same as contact page on TagDiv Demo.
To be clear, am not looking for instructions to install Contact Form 7 (will probably delete the form and leave only the Contact Details section). Rather, trying to get the sidebar to look like default demo which includes sections for Stay Connected, Ad Placeholder at 300×250, and Article Summary.
Below is existing code, if helpful.
Thanks.

My newsletter plugin uses the standard WP excerpt length. To change that length, they recommend the code below. It should work, but it doesn’t. Does the Newsmag theme somehow interfere with the WP Excerpt function. If so, could I plug in a function from the Newsmag theme? In other words, what is the name of the function that returns the length of say td_block_13?
Thanks, Richard
/* Change Excerpt length */
function custom_excerpt_length( $length ) {
return 25;
}
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'custom_excerpt_length', 999 );
Hi,
I would like that the filter in the blocks is able to show me all articles WITH category 1 and category 2 selected, how can I achive that?
If I use the multiple categories filter [1,2] he shows me all articles OF category 1 and category 2.
Do I have to make changes in the code? If yes, where is the file to change the query string?
Thanks for help
