Hello Roman22,
Please notice that our theme uses thumbs and all the images will be cut from center to top, according to what type of thumbs are used by your modules/blocks. You should use big size for images because the theme only cut them and not enlarge them and if you are using an image which has a small size than the thumb you will see these problems. For more information in this regard, please consult our useful tutorial here and follow the steps from there, like this -> 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 TheMiraz,
This is talking about the Ajax Filter which can be set it from Block Settings when you edit your own block in Visual Composer. For more information about this feature, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ -> http://screencast.com/t/sdjkWnpD
If is not what you mean, provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
I have tested your ad but it seems to work fine if you use this method of implementing it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Here is an example of it on a page using and ad block in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/Cv9Ka6no
I placed the ad code in a custom ad spot in the theme panel like so: http://screencast.com/t/ergQJi8SE
On the mobile theme you have to place the script in the head tag again as the mobile theme uses a different header.php file: http://screencast.com/t/qW43t8Ca
I placed it as an article top ad: http://screencast.com/t/UrTiLY3bP – http://screencast.com/t/RXbjQ5spUG
Thank you!
Hello,
If you want to show a single post on a page in visual composer you cna use any block you wish and filer it to only show 1 post. Please use this guide to learn how to use the block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Each block has a limit for how many posts it will show: http://screencast.com/t/flxh416liYD8
Thank you!
Hello,
If you want to have only a top image and the rest just titles, you can simply do that with css, no custom coding required. You can simply use one of the theme blocks that has this sort of functionality but with different images like block 1 on 2 columns for example:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
You can hide the small thumbs with this code:
.td-block-span6 .td_module_6 .td-module-thumb{
display:none;
}
.td-block-span6 .td_module_6 .item-details{
margin-left:0;
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/oaeZXjpGJHD
You can even target paricular blopcks so you will not affect all blocks 1 at the same time by adding a custom css class on the row in visual composer.
You can also use block 2 :
http://screencast.com/t/DX8PO8MNJl
Or block 18 and 19. You ujust need to change up the css a bit.
Oh, and Block 17 already has this implemented: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-17/
Unfortunately you cannot separate each post by category. Our theme has no such option. You can filter specific posts in a block from the filter settings or specific categories but you cannot make the block pull each post in particular from a particular category,. There is no such depth added to the post filters. Sorry.
Thanks
Hello rahulagg25,
Sorry, do yo want to remove the “Fashion Week” block title or do you want to remove the entire block from your website? In both cases, you should check your back-end when you edit your page and from there you can add/remove any item you like. -> http://screencast.com/t/FE8QR5h4
If is not what you mean, please be more specific and provide more details about what you want to achieve. Also, you can provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks for the message!
Hello afriwired,
1)I guess that you have some problems with theme saving. First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newsmag 3.2) and also, the latest version of required plugins that come bundled with the theme, clear all your cache and rule out any conflicts. Also, check the system status to be higher increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
2)If you want to do not have any excerpts for Block 6, you should add the 0. value at the right section, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/krPXuVe0Rb1n

Hello ringstonmedia,

Hello Socha17,
If you want to change the functionality to our Popular Categories, you should edit the core file where the feature is created, like td_block_popular_categories.php, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/nNjgme3GxjHC
This is not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

Hi Catalin,
Actually, i am not able to achieve the same with suggested solution. I see these blocks only while adding a new page and not in the existing one. Please help.
Hi,
I just bought the NewsMag theme and I must say kudos for such an awesome theme.
Being an existing customer of your NewsPaper7 theme setting up NewsMag was so easy for me. However, I am having two challenges presently
1. The Primary/Header Menu: I have an existing Primary/Header Menu and each time I assign it the header location and save, it goes off when I refresh and then shows up “CLICK HERE – TO SELECT OR CREATE A MENU” I have saved and saved this several time, but when it saves and I refresh the page it goes off and show the message above. Please I need your immediate help on this as this is making our site look somehow considering the fact that the Header menu is one noticeable part of a site.
2. Excerpts: I wanted to set the excerpt number to “0” in block 6 so that only the title shows and when I save and I refresh the page not happens, the excerpts will still be there.
Please help me with the fix with these two as I have searched the entire support forum and could not get a solution or fix.
Finally I need to know if using a child theme is necessary for the NewsMag. I am not using any child theme, just uploaded the theme following the instruction on documentation. Will future updates break or remove anything I have said?
My site URL: http://www.techsabi.com
Below are screenshots I took:


Please I am looking forward to hearing from you sooner.
Thanks
Jackson

Hello there,
I can not resize images in different blocks. If the photo is bigger, is it sliding out of the area?
Hello,

Hi,
i have another problem google blocking some scrips from site, its start today, i didn make any changes.
see creen capture pls.http://www.screencast.com/t/7SEqIlQ331T
url:omgnews.today
After updating the theme and VC successfully, i have the following issue:
The sidebars on pages (note, it’s only on pages…posts and products are okay) are not appearing.
When i go to edit a page, on the section which allows you to choose the template layout for the page and to select the side bar, the following message is displayed:
“While using Visual Composer sidebar settings are not available. To add a sidebar on page use the widgetised sidebar block.”
Could you advise me about this please.
Thanks.
Alright, so I am trying to display posts like they are displayed on http://www.chicagomag.com/
They are separated by category, show one top image, and the rest are post titles.
How can I do this in the API or just on the TD composer?
Check system status panel in the theme control panel.
Make sure enough memory allocated to WordPress.
Consider simplifying number of modules used, types of queries, etc.
Consider turning some stuff off, like flyout “yuo might like,” “related posts” at bottom of pages, and use just ONE module/block type on sidebars; remove modules from footer, etc.
Make sure you’re using PHP 5.6x vs 5.4x, as 5.6x has opcache which helps.
If none of that does it — you can stop using pesky Visual Composer; and try the BETA TagDiv Composer (see sticky post top of forum) — which is simpler page builder and which we’re now using across our news network and no longer use VC for anything (as it is often the resource culprit every third version!).

I have tried it, but i can’t found any line under block title.
Hello,
I;pm not sure what customization you made and how you implement the images but this is not a standard implementation of a featured image. You use post template 1 but there is no featured image shown on the post itself. I just see an iframe. There is no code for the featured image as well in the browser inspector. The blocks need the featured images to be contained in this css class:
td-post-featured-image
There is no such class on any of your posts including the ones that are showing the featured image on your homepage. I;m not sure how you use the theme api to add a featured image but you need to add it by the standard method of pressing the ‘set featured image’ button and selecting a file from your media library.
We cannot guarantee our blocks will work with custom implementation of featured images.
Thank you!
