Search Results for 'block'

Hello newsmaguser,

Please keep in mind that all the layout and functionalities which are found in this demo have been made using the theme features. I suggest you install the Scandal demo with the content and then you should check the homepage structure and you will see what kind of blocks has been used in that demo. Notice that each demo has an own style and if you want to replicate one of them from scratch it will be pretty hard to do that. You should follow my advice and try to spend more time to understand how it was built.

Thanks for your understanding!

Unfortunately you cannot add plugins in as it will not work that way. You can remove the code from the plugin and there will be no more compatibility function. However speedbooster is not guaranteed to work with all plugins. It will not be able to move all the render blocking js and css from untested plugins but it will move the ones it is compatible with so you can use it with any plugins. Normally the plugin deactivates itself when an incompatible plugin is detected. By removeing that code you can use it with any plugin but it does not mean it can ‘fix’ every plugin.

I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.

Hello,

1. The latest articles is different from a block. It is a section added by the page template as the guide in my previous reply shows. Since it;s not a standard block it cannot be moved around. But the alternative is not tu use the pagebuilder + latast articles template and simply create a block you want and filter it to show the posts that you want by changing it’s block settings
2. The sidebar in visual composer is created on a split row. You split a row in a 2/3 + 1/3 layout and you have to place content in the single column on the right (or left depending on preference)
Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/4jvItqJqaZ
3. Refer to point 1 🙂

Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately speedboioster will not be able to move all of the render blocking js and css. That is why it has the compatibility list in it’s code. It will move the plugins it;s compatible with but if there are others notcompatible like revolution slider for instance, then speedbooster cannot do it’s thing. The plugins compatible with the theme are different than the plugin compatible with the speedbooster plugin. As for the speed drop you should also test with just the 2 plugins active. Disable all other plugins (except speedbooster) and clear all caching and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again.

Thanks.

Hello Ylli,

I have checked on my side and the autoplay for featured video seems to work as expected. Please keep in mind that the video will be autoplay inside the post which has the featured video set it. I guess that you are referring to the block, right? Please notice that the featured video will not be displayed on the block thumb because there is just a simple image with icon play and the theme has not been designed to rule the video on the block thumb, sorry -> http://screencast.com/t/gKWVlKX3!

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!

Well i’m not sure exactly. I don’t know what the code is supposed to do. You will have to try it out in the files mentioned above. The code provider will have an answer about how it should be implemented. I cannot say for sure if it will even work with our theme or not.
I added your code in a simple text block in visual composer and the elements appeared so if you want to implement it instead of the related articles, you can simply remove the realted articles element from the post templates and replace it with a do_shortcode function and use this shortcode

[vc_column_text]
<div id="POSTQUARE_WIDGET_101512"></div>
<script data-cfasync="false">
(function(P,o,s,t,Q,r,e){P['PostquareObject']=Q;P[Q]=P[Q]||function(){ (P[Q].q=P[Q].q||[]).push(arguments)},P[Q].l=1*new Date();r=o.createElement(s), e=o.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];r.async=1;r.src=t;e.parentNode.insertBefore(r,e) })(window,document,'script','//widget.engageya.com/_pos_loader.js','__posWidget');
__posWidget('createWidget',{wwei:'POSTQUARE_WIDGET_101512',pubid:174665,webid:146748,wid:101512,on:'postquare'});
</script>[/vc_column_text]

I hope this helps.

Hi

1) ye, if you remove the little tag, there will be no link. The tag creates the second linkj that leads to the category page when clicked on it. Like a small button. No button, means no more link to the category.
2) Each block is made out of 1 or more modules. The module is the base element in our theme. In the list of category tags you can see what module is used on what block: http://screencast.com/t/FJKKEgvL

Thanks.

Oh..sorry there was a misunderstanding. I though you meant the related articles on posts.
If this is on a page then you can use visual composer easily and move blocks to what position you like.
The latest articles is a bit trickier though as if you want it moved, you will need to use an other page template that does not have the latest articles section: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/ and then simply create a block you can name “latest articles” and place it where you want on the page.
I hope this helps.

Are you sure you followed the guide exactly? https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Optimize images – point 3 of the guide: http://screencast.com/t/m7noLNKj3V
Render blocking js and css – point 5 of the guide – http://screencast.com/t/pA3Vk9lIk
Leverage browser caching point 2 of the guide – http://screencast.com/t/BHVwcxuHY

You are not done with the optimization.

Well it will not be able to move all of the render blocking js and css. Some of them you will have to move manually as shown in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
under point 5.2

Thank you!

Hi,
If you want to add an image on the homepage you can use the single image element in visual composer. If his image is the featured iamge from a particular post, you can use one of the theme blocks and filtered to only show one particular post from the block settings
Thanks.

Sorry but our theme blocks were not tested with any plugins. Our blocks are created custom and I doubt any plugin can tie into the code. Plugins are created on the standard wordpress code. In order to have a plugin affect our blocks it will have to be created specifically for the newspaper blocks. I suggest using a different implementation method specified by the plugin author.
Thank you!

Hello,
DO not change the section ID. The section ID is grabbed automatically so you do not have to change it.
If you want to alter the block css use a custom class on each block but do not change the section ID
Thank you!

Hello,

1) There is no limit to how many revisions you can have on wordpress so I think you are safe as they will not all be kept. There should be a revision cap that when reached, it will delete the oldest ones. I don’t think it will hold all revision. You can set the revision cap yourself if you want just to be safe by using this function: https://codex.wordpress.org/Revisions

2) This depends on how you filter your blocks on pages. There are 3 ways you can exclude duplicates. One is to use different filters so different categories are shown in the blocks. The other is using the offset feature if you have the same category in the blosk so one block will show the first x posts and the second block will start at x+1 The third option is to simply use the unique articles feature: https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/ but this will not work with ajax filters or pagination. It will only work on blocks that do not use ajax.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Moving things around is not part of the theme settings but rather customization. It’s never easy to move things around from their initial intended place. You will have to edit the theme code if you want this. Please read this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/related-articlesmore-from-author-in-sidebar/
The most popular block is a sidebar element. It cannot be added inside the post content easily. You will have to add it in each post by hand as the post content is not like a sidebar. You will have to create a block in visual composer and set it up as you prefer, then copy it’s shortcode in classic mode (mce editor) and paste it inside the post content for each post in particular.

As for the second part, the block titles do not define a block. It is simply a title we added for it as an example. It is not a fixed element. You can create a block in visual composer and give it any title you want: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

Thank you!

Hi,

This must of happened due to changes in the last update, you can try this code and see if it works for you, just enter it in Theme Panel->Custom Css

.page-template-page-pagebuilder-title .wpb_text_column :last-child .block-title span{
margin-bottom: 0;
}

Alternatively you could get the same result as you are now, using a Raw HTML above your Text block like this – http://screencast.com/t/hFweuysfQ – http://screencast.com/t/BXLTO5jEQ0 This is the code for the style that goes in the Raw HTML

<h4 class="block-title" style="border-color: #595959;"><span style="margin-right: 0; background-color: #595959;">DON'T MISS</span></h4>

And this is the result – http://screencast.com/t/gNqVfbOR

Thanks

Hi,

In order to make something like that first you need a background image of your choosing for the block title span (in this case an image of 106x34px) then use this code (this is for block 1 – you can change it if you have different blocks)

.td_block_1 .block-title span {
width: 106px;
height: 34px;
background-image: url(https://slice42.com/wp-content/themes/Slice42/assets/actus.png);
text-indent: -5000px;
background-color: transparent!important;
}
.td_block_1 .block-title {
border-bottom: none;
}

In the background-image put the url to your image(i used the image from above – you can test with it)
Result example – http://screencast.com/t/e1iuRqdH9
Let me know if this works for you

Thanks
