Hello,
Please read this guide:https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
The ‘offset’ setting is the one you are looking for
Thank you!
Hi,
Try this code, enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css, it removes the bottom padding and margin on the module
.td_block_9 .td_module_8 {
padding-bottom: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
Result – https://www.screencast.com/t/O1CsrNnw
That problem with the thumbnail should not happen, some plugin could be causing this. Right now I do not see it in your site – https://www.screencast.com/t/NTRlWzeAe4
If you should encounter this problem in the future, try disabling all the plugins except Visual composer and see if it still occurs.
Thanks
Hello Dennis,

During the support hours, the answering order in the forum is by oldest topic to newest as mentioned by Simion C. under your other thread- Simion C.https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/block-9-removing-dates/#post-155867
Being an old member of TagDiv forum, I request you to wait for at least a day before raising questions like this. Though, the forum is very active, but I neither think nor expect to get instant replies like chat in any forum.
I hope you understand
Why am i not getting help on this https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/block-9-removing-dates/#post-155906 appropriately yet i can see other tickets being replied immediately?
Also which block is used as the “featured” posts at the top in that demo?
Hello. My website is dinfo.gr and i want to deactived the thubnails that i dont need.Can someone please take a look to my website and tell me witch thumbnails i must deactived from thubs and module blocks? I am confused and i dont know what to do. Thank you in advanced.
Thanks for your reply. That setting is already checked on block 4 (on all blocks) to use thumbs. So that is not the problem. I did not change anything except the theme update and now the thumbnails are rendering wrong size. Would you like a guest login?
Hello, I have a question that is simple, not sure if it has been discussed in other forums
In your theme Newspaper, in using Visual Composer blocks with different shapes, I want to achieve this result as follow:
I have a category or multiple categories of posts to flow from one block (i.e. block 19) to and through multiple blocks to another (i.e. Block18; block 16, etc…) without showing the same (repeating)number of post/posts in a block into another one/ones (of the same category or other categories) on the same page.
Example: category All =20 posts or Category A; B; C; D with their amount of posts
Block 19 order Desc or random – category all or single, posts to show 6, the overflow of posts into another block with same settings.
This to avoid to show the same post in another block beside separating blocks to show single or multiple categories
Please help achieve this with your theme and visual composer
Thanks Sal
The event page shows two extra blocks, from the plugin company they said: Your theme is adding these extra <p> tags that is whats causing the extra bars please contact your theme.
In this photo you can see the problem: http://www.screencast.com/t/IEd6MzksR0p
I want to erase the two extra bars that are empty below each event, all this in the mobile version.
Thank you!
Hi,
You could hide the Big grid in your homepage with Css on smaller devices using this code, just enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.home .td_block_big_grid_6 {
display: none;
}
}
Result – https://www.screencast.com/t/jbAONMxQVqsU
Please let me know if this works for you
Thanks
Hi,
I have problems changing the “Newsticker” from virtual Composer. Usally in the blocks I can change the heading, topics and so on but for the Newsticker there simply are no options. I know its probably a newbie and stupid question but did not find anything in help and documentary, nor search….
Hey guys,
We’re using single post template 10 for a website and we tried to add a class to the popular widget ([tagDiv] Block 7). In the admin area it shows that the widget is applied, but at the post page the class is nowhere at the widget…
Here are some screenshots for proof:
Admin Area

Post page

Any idea what’s going on? At the visual composer page if I apply a css class it works just fine at the frontpage. At the sidebar it’s not working.
Hello Geoff,
Unfortunately the code has changed since 7.4 and the api as well. The blocks were refactored so it means you will have to create your custom blocks again. The old ones will not work anymore in the current version.
Sorry for the inconvenience. This is the major downside with customization. There is no update proof method of customizing the theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
Sorry but this element does not feature a block title url. You will have to find another method to add an url.
You can create your own title with link using html.
Here is an example:
add this in a raw html element: <div class="td-block-title-wrap"><h4 class="block-title"><span><a href="www.mycustomurl.com">Mycustomtitle</a></a></span></div>
Now you have your own title to place wherever you want
There will be a color issue https://www.screencast.com/t/nGq6CwMtS that can be fixed by adding a custom class to the row that contains the custom title we created. After adding a custom class to the row, you can use it together with css to change the color. https://www.screencast.com/t/ozDo9ebt
.mycustomclass .block-title a{
background-color: red;
}
Thank you!
Hi,
If you want to remove the date on this block only use this code, enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css
.td_block_9 .td-post-date,
.td_block_9 .td-post-author-name span {
display: none;
}
Result – https://www.screencast.com/t/ZvlD2K6AwE4
Block 9 uses module 8 – https://www.screencast.com/t/Fe6MkxmEnHFl to modify the font settings go to Theme panel->Theme fonts – https://www.screencast.com/t/WNBhb353 and change it to what you like
As for the margin between modules it needs custom css, please specify how exactly you want them to be, and i will try to provide a solution. It would be best if possible to provide a link to your website or even a screenshot.

Hello Shawn,
Please keep in mind that the Related Articles feature was been created only for post pages and it cannot be used with shortcodes, sorry! If you want to use the same functionality for pages, you will have to use the Blocks on your page and these can be sorted/filtered according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Unfortunately the big grid cannot be inserted on pages without visual composer. You will need visual composer active for any theme block to display properly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please make sure that category tags are enabled on all the modules in Theme panel->Block settings – https://www.screencast.com/t/QANsd75mTOWZ
As for the image problems please follow this tutorial and regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thanks
Hello Maui No Ka Oi Magazine,
I have checked your website and I noticed that you are using the Block 4 to display your blocks on the homepage, right? So, I noticed that you are not using the thumbs for your featured images and that’s why the theme will display you the images in the original size of them. You could turn on the thumbs for this type of Block from Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/cQF6F2KZYk
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Chito,
Unfortunately, the mobile theme does not have any placeholder for blocks when the featured image is not active. I have added to our list of improvements and we will try fixing it in near future updates.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello denito,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such a pagination style for Blocks, sorry! If you want to achieve it, you should do it yourself because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry! 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!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello.
Thanks for your reply.
I have turned on wp_debug.
I am getting the following warning everywhere in both front and backend of the site:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/www.varebilogtransport.dk/www/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php on line 2194
I doubt it has anything to do with the problem at hand.
It’s not coming with any errors on the ad page. The console says the following however:
ace.js:1 Automatically scrolling cursor into view after selection change this will be disabled in the next version set editor.$blockScrolling = Infinity to disable this message
o @ ace.js:1
Again, I doubt it’s the issue here.
The ads are links with imgs tags, i have also tried with some iframes as well as just the word “test”.. nothing works.
I think the issue may be with the fact that it is textarea’s? It seems that all input fields work, but textareas do not.
I have tried to increase max_input_vars to 5000, has not helped either.
I have tested most of the textareas between header ad and custom ad 5, none of them seem to be updating correctly.
I also discovered a seperat issue – when under theme panel->categories and i create a custom sidebar – no widget is created – so we cannot make use of this functionality.
It saves the name under custom sidebar+position, but there is no widget created – so the sidebar just remains blank as you cannot put anything into the widget.
We can create a user for you to access the site if needed. Please give us an e-mail address for this purpose, if necessary, as we do not want to post such data here.
I hope that is all you need to look further into the problem.
Sorry but I cannot provide any other suggestion. Our theme provides modules and blocks, visual composer provides accordions, tabs and a few other elements and you can use revolution slider (not flex slider)
Unfortunately if none of these options are good for your project you will have to use a plugin that can provide the desired effect.
Thank you!
And Y cant u reply to my ticket under block nine, have been waiting for hours and no reply
Dear Support,
Updated the theme to version 7.6 from v7.4 as well as the tdi-api-plugin to v1.02. All my custom blocks disappeared and no longer working even if the files under the modules folder are restored.
What would be the best way to restore these customised blocks?
Thanks and regards,
Geoff
