Hello,
I see there are no thumbs active on your site. They are the full images shown and some get the 1 pixel width. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
And use the force regenerate plugin to regenerate your thumbs.
Also make sure thumbnails are active in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/2CBpcsFU
Thank you!
Hello,
Our theme modules and blocks were created to ignore sticky posts. Sorry. You can filter posts using the post id filter in blocks if you want to always show the same posts on your site. Please check this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hi,
I’m afraid I don;t understand exactly what the issue is. Our theme does not have any feature to play a video in it’s thumbnail directly on the homepage. The blocks show an image thumbnail of the video, not the video itself. If you click on a video post in on the homepage it will lead to the post, not play the video. And there is no feature to open the video in a new tab. We did not advertise any of this anywhere.
Thank you!
Hello,
The theme has no setting for this but you can use a little css for it. Please add this code in the theme panel->custom css box:
@media(max-width:1141px){
.td_block_related_posts{
display:none!important;
}}
Thank you!
Hello jboursaw,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using the Page Template+Latest Articles+Pagination as for your front page, right? So, if you want to add an Ad Block at the very top of your latest articles, above this, you should edit the page-pagebuilder-latest.php core file and then, use the do_shortcode method and add your desired Ad which has to be added to your Custom Ad 1 in the panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/9WYabRBwg -> http://screencast.com/t/0zIZ9ueFLut and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/6LcA9dyJJ
The snippet of the code which you should add there is ->
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
The news ticker as a any other block element in visual composer must be added on each page as it’s not a widget. It is a block element. If you want it on pages you have to add it in. There is a workaround if you truly want to place it, but you will need to edit the theme files for that. The theme has no such setting.
You can filter the news ticker the way you want to and then place the shortcode in a do_shortcode function like so :
Your shortcode could look different based on your settings.
Then you can add the above function in the page template files. There are 3 page templates. Add the function in the one you use on your pages or all 3 if you use all of them

Hello,
I have been trying to setup a gallery using the blocks and modules in the API. What I am doing is creating a single page template for a custom post type and using blocks to display all their related gallery images. I have all the image id’s stored in the back end as a meta-boxes value. The meta-box key is ‘be_business_listing_gallery_ids’.
I have created a custom plugin using the theme API guides in which I have setup my own custom gallery block mimicking the block 2 in newspaper theme.
Now I want to display all gallery images associated to the post in the single template using the custom block plugin I have made. The problem is blocks are only able to render post ids and do not recognize image ids.
Hi,
How to customize category landing page like we need to add new block on category page to show most read posts first and then latest posts and also is this possible to have different layouts for different categories.
And also how to include new widgets or custom widgets on category landing page.
Thanks in Advance.
My site is set up to just run the latest blog posts on the home page, with a sidebar on the right. Without fussing around with PageBuilder, is there a way to just add a 640×90 ad block directly above the blog posts (underneath the header on the left)?
Thusly:

Thank you,

I have a couple of plugins blocking this tool.
I read the tutorial and found that i should deactivate those plugins fix the issues then reactivate the plugins?? is that correct?
These plugins are important to me one is for braintree payments and another is for wholesale…
I dont understand how speediv works.
Hello,
How do I set one of the posts from that particular category to be sticky so it will always be the latest post from the homepage’s block?
Even though there is a sticky post option in the “quick edit” from the post page, it still got pushed down by the newest post added on the later date.
Thank you
Hi,
The best solution is to block all the adsense ads(added through the theme ads spots ) from the code. Try to add this condition here – http://screencast.com/t/iikQIXrOM
if (is_front_page()){
return '';
}
Thanks!
Hey guys, that solution for excluding one category from Related Posts Block (in version 4) was great. Please say how to do that in version 7. Thank you.
Hello Bogdan,
Before adding any CSS in Custom Code, I always test it with the browser inspector. That was just an example with the height. I did try to increase the font size in mega menu, but without any result.
So, in order to understand, if I want to modify something concerning CSS I just have to copy/paste the css exactly as it is in Custom Code and do the modifications there. Right ?
Like this one…
The original CSS:
.td_mega_menu_sub_cats a {
display: block;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: 600;
color: #333;
padding: 5px 22px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;
border-top: 1px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
}
my CSS:
.td_mega_menu_sub_cats a {
display: block;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: 600;
color: #333;
padding: 5px 22px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;
border-top: 1px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 1px solid transparent;
}
thank you in advance !!!! 🙂
Hi Bogdan.
This is not what I asked. In case you missed it:
Manually updating post views by hand won’t work – the website has a lot of traffic already and 20-30 new articles each day.
That’s about 800-900 new articles a month!
I know how to update views manually of course but that’s not the point… The point is to do it algorithmically, for all posts, past, present and future, without my further involvement and without anyone having to keep track and waste their time doing such a thing.
Also I don’t want to add a few hundred views on a few posts. Visitors should get a consistent and gradual image of pageviews any time of the day.
So, if you happen to have any idea how to cook pageviews on the front end -and only in the front end, we don’t want to harm the data in the database-, please share..
Hello,
Unfortunately our theme dose not have such a feature. It will have to be done custom. The load more button cannot point to anything else except it’s intended purpose. But you can however remove the pagination and add a custom button to that block if you have the proper coding skills to do it.
Block 3 uses module 1 to display it;s content so you can edit this file: http://screencast.com/t/AuPxjIGNeiE
Thank you!
Hello tootiefrutie,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows you a way to change the functionality of homepage from our mobile theme, sorry! Notice that all of your requests involve additional customizations and if you want to change the structure of it, you should edit the theme core file and alter the code in order to achieve as you wish. As a hint, you should edit the front-page.php and td_block_big_grid_mob_1.php file from mobile folder, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/PxQQyoCVN8jv -> http://screencast.com/t/XXkegGCC70a
Please 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 work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
my question is who can rate any post? someone who is logged in or any visitor?
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/rating/#post-142525
Only the post author can rate. This is not a user rating system and not a front-end rating as well. It is a rating the post author ads when creating the post. It was not created as a ‘product review/rating’. The review system was not built with front-end user ratings in mind.
The review was created from the reviewer perspective, when the author is reviewing something, not when he is presenting something to be reviewed by others.
Hi,
Unfortunately for pages you cannot place an ad automatically for all pages inside the content. You can place an ad in the page template but it will not show in the middle of the content. It can only be shown above or below the content.
try it like so:
1. Place an ad in custom ad spot 1 in your theme panel.
2. Use this shortcode:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
And place it in the page template you use. (there are 3 to choose from) I will show hgow to place it on the default one as it’s the most likely one to be used: http://screencast.com/t/2PK2i0Wnks3
Thank you!
Hi,
I need to change button in pagination from ‘Load more ‘ to go to category. It’s possible?
Hello Toriae,
Notice that our theme has a list which all available blocks which can be used for your website and which can be found here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ There you will see how they will behave. You can try to use our IOS Slider, like this -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/
If you want to display more levels in our theme 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 work at the moment, or also, you can try to use some plugins with this functionality and see how these will work for you.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Yes, that is the option that needs to be made. There is no other option to add a page in the block. Any sort of page/post/cpt, is a post type. In order to change the blocks from showing posts to showing pages you need to change the post type. Simply type “page” in that field.

Hello rahulagg25,
Here you’ll see what blocks it -> http://www.screencast.com/t/z5dOSSHBNM7e and it should be found at the front page if you are using the demo with content -> http://screencast.com/t/i4DcqzDkF2dj

Hello,
Look at series.pl . I set different colors for block background titles : https://i.imgsafe.org/2cdaf2d63d.jpg
But when I saved it on website (series.pl) there is the same color for all of the block background titles.
Earlier there was no problem for it.
How can I fix it ?
After successfully creating and running the td_api_plugin to display a Block of Custom Post Type “event” I need to order it using custom field “event_date”.
I have tried adding:
'meta_key' => '',
'orderby' => '',
'order' => ''
to $atts and assigned values to it:
$this->atts['meta_key'] = event_date;
$this->atts['orderby'] = event_date;
$this->atts['order'] = DESC;
The params are reflected correctly when I print_r($this->atts); inside td_block.php:
Array ( [limit] => 5 [sort] => [post_ids] => [tag_slug] => [autors_id] => [installed_post_types] => event [category_id] => [category_ids] => [custom_title] => NEXT EVENTS [custom_url] => [show_child_cat] => [sub_cat_ajax] => [ajax_pagination] => [header_color] => #000000 [header_text_color] => [ajax_pagination_infinite_stop] => [td_column_number] => 2 [td_ajax_preloading] => preload [td_ajax_filter_type] => td_tag_slug_filter [td_ajax_filter_ids] => 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 90 [td_filter_default_txt] => All [color_preset] => [border_top] => [class] => td_uid_14_5822ad4fd6f60_rand [offset] => [css] => [live_filter] => [live_filter_cur_post_id] => [live_filter_cur_post_author] => [meta_key] => event_date [orderby] => event_date [order] => DESC ) Array ( [limit] => 6 [sort] => [post_ids] => [tag_slug] => [autors_id] => [installed_post_types] => post [category_id] => [category_ids] => [custom_title] => CONTENIDO [custom_url] => [show_child_cat] => [sub_cat_ajax] => [ajax_pagination] => next_prev [header_color] => #1e73be [header_text_color] => [ajax_pagination_infinite_stop] => [td_column_number] => 2 [td_ajax_preloading] => [td_ajax_filter_type] => td_category_ids_filter [td_ajax_filter_ids] => 72, 71, 37, 25, 29 [td_filter_default_txt] => All [color_preset] => [border_top] => [class] => td_uid_20_5822ad5005c1c_rand [offset] => [css] => [live_filter] => [live_filter_cur_post_id] => [live_filter_cur_post_author] => [meta_key] => event_date [orderby] => event_date [order] => DESC )
But the order of the posts is never altered. Has anyone dealt with this issue before? Any help will be very appreciated!
