Hi
I tried to follow the guidelines and answers on this subject but I could not find a solution.
My problem is the following: I defined my homepage which uses a mix of big grid boxes (as in the theme examples btw).
The posts that I made have all featured images which are big enough to be displayed in any kind of blocks; and all the necessary thumb size are enabled in the theme panel.
example: Big Grid 5 requires 356×220 pics and the post has a featured image 452×600
only a grey area is displayed
I tried to play with thumbnail regenerate tool … no way
My homepage uses different blocks which are all displayed in same way some are either in grey, other in background color (white)
Probably I missed something.
thanks for your help
Hi,

Please give me a solution to change the button outline color that is too light, not seen by aged/older people.

Hi,
Iam not using any cache plugin, wpengine has it own cache module.. Im not using cdn also..
Block settings; random as it should be..
I disabled all plugin and tested again…
same result..
Hello,
If you read the block settings guide posted above (i know there is a lot of information in there but there are a lot of settings to cover :)) you will see that there is a post id filter. you can select specific posts to show in a block based on the post id, but this cannot be scheduled unfortunately. There is no such functionality added. That is a static option and it will show the post you provide the id for. If you want to change the post you have to change the ID.
Thank you!
Hi,
Smart lists will igonre inline ads as smart lists have a different implementation than normal posts. Smartlists have their own ads.
Here is an example from a different topic regarding smart list 6:
Smart lists have a specific ad spot in the theme panel but the smart list 6 ad will not position below the pagination. If you want it to show below the pagination, you will have to edit the theme files to do it as there is no option in the theme for it. You can use this code :
$buffy .= do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
And place it like so: http://screencast.com/t/zvRezg4R8rva Then your ad from ‘custom ad 1’ spot will show below the pagination. Unfortunately this will not be a 970 width ad if you use a sidebar because if you do, the main content area is only 696 pixels wide. There can be a large 970 px banner only if you remove the sidebar.
You can adapt the method from smart list 6 to your smart list 1 in this file:
http://screencast.com/t/ke2gPSa65
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thanks,
Is there any way of showing specific post on this block.
I can filter it by category,
1. Please suggest me how to select any post from all my past post.
2. Can this post be auto scheduled – This post should change every month.
Hello nico,
Please keep in mind that if you are using the on/off button regarding on Ads from Theme panel, it will be two different cases. So, if you are using AdSense code when you turn off that ad, the source of the code will be blocked from backend but if you are using other ads and if you disable the ads from Theme panel, all of them will be hidden from the front end (with display:none).
Thanks for the message!
Hello Diego Acero,
If you want to add an ad above the Related Articles Block, please notice that you should edit the core file corresponding to post template used by you. For example, if you are using the post template default, you should edit the loop-single.php core file and you should add above related articles call your ad, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/Pcr3cocHpd Also, please notice that our system Ad is designed to use only the Google Adsense. Fro more information about this regard, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-header-ads/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-using-other-ads/
Please notice that the Taboola Ads is not tested with our theme and we cannot say for sure if this type of ad code will work or not with our theme, sorry! I have tested with our ads and seems to work as properly, without any problem but with your ad source, I do not know.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
I have checked your site and saw that there is a html error in each block . There is an empty paragraph after each thumb. That paragraph is not coming from our theme so it;s probably a customization you made or a plugin conflict. Please check your custom code in the theme panel or your child theme. If you did not update your child theme, please do. This topic explains it better: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/setting-up-child-theme/
If you need to you can always replace the theme files again if you know there is customization but you are not sure what it is. You can use this guide and choose the ftp method to update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks.
Hello,
I understand now, The block used to show the image is block 18 set to show the single big thumb. Add a block 18 and make it show only 1 post from it’s block settings.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please check the block settings and make sure you have the proper sorting option in place.
Also check your cache as changes on your site are affected by the cache we only recommend wp super cache and these settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ if you use a cdn: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
If the problem is still there, please to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test again.
Thank you!
Hello Simon_,
Yes, the first steps are correct but are not enough. If you want to create a new block, please notice that the only way of doing this is using the API implementation. For more information about this regard, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/ You should read all our documentation for this way of implementing 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 this moment, and the API implementation is not covered by our support, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
As an update to this older thread; most hosting providers worth their salt are now moving to support “https everywhere” initiative with free SSL certs for https via “Let’s Encrypt,” even on shared IPs. Note using this type of cert will mean OOOOOLD web broswers might not be able to access website at all since they can’t support modern secure standards — and, really, should NOT even be used on the web. SO, some kind of ‘sniffer’ to say “hey, dummy, update your browser to Chrome…” is worthwhile.
you should also add a block like so in your htaccess file above the #wordpress stuff…
e.g., (note; this example is using pretty permalinks with post name; so don’t use my wordpress code unless you want to; this is just example of how to put in the EXTRA stuff ABOVE the #wordpress stuff!)
**this presumes APACHE server.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>ALSO: in your wp-config.php file, this is useful:
define('WP_HOME', 'https://SITEHERE.com');
define('WP_SITEURL', 'https://SITEHERE.com');
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'https://SITEHERE.com/wp-content' );
define('WP_PLUGIN_URL', 'https://SITEHERE.com/wp-content/plugins' );
define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);Finally, in some setups you might find this more useful to put at top of htaccess than my first example — basically a slightly different way of doing it:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,QSA]
</IfModule>*updated : Oct. 27, 2016 / 12:19pm PDT.

Hello, looking for revenue optimization I happened to replace the block related articles by an ad taboola content.
I currently use Smartlist 6. This is a link to an article on my website: https://www.hitviral.net/14-sarcasticas-ilustraciones-acerca-este-mundo/
Attached a screenshot on the following link to indicate exactly what you want to change.
https://www.hitviral.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Pantallazo-hitviral-articulos-relacionados.jpg
The code block ads taboola, is:
<Div id = “taboola-below-picture-thumbnails”> </ div>
<Script type = “text / javascript”>
window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push ({
mode: ‘thumbnails-c’
container: ‘taboola-below-picture-thumbnails’
placement: ‘Below Picture Thumbnails’
target_type ‘mix’
});
</ Script>
It is possible to do what I want?
I want to design similar first image style block which is shown in Storypick website .
please refer the evidence
Hello,
If the method from stackexchange did not work maybe a solution from here will: https://www.fontsquirrel.com/blog/2010/11/troubleshooting-font-face-problems
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5065362/ie9-blocks-download-of-cross-origin-web-font
In almost all cases the ‘allow origin’ code fixed it. This should also fix it on your side. If you use a cdn then it should work. Try to implement it differently in your htaccess or ask your host or cdn provider to help.
Thank you!
Hi,
Tha api system shows how a block is being created. It is added with php and js, not standard html. You have access to the html to a certain extent though. Depending on the block you are searching for it can be one of these files: http://screencast.com/t/lZDYy5yDza and as each block is made out of 1 or more modules: http://screencast.com/t/LhjCGOowQm
In order to see which block uses which module, you can check this list: http://screencast.com/t/12Ki9n0zDh
Thank you!
Hello,
Thanks for your answer.
So if I want to change the appearence editing the HTML template of a block, where can I find it ?
Thanks a lots,
Hello,
The homepage post will show the post you want if you add the right id in it;s block settings
If this does not change instantly, it probably means you have caching enabled or a cdn server or both. In this case you need to clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it in order to see the results instantly.
Thank you!
Im trying to create single images that contain a link. Their appearance should be like this: http://prntscr.com/czb0dw
Correct me if im wrong, cant it be set up with a full width text block that would contain html tables (rows/columns) ? Im thinking of this solution, along with the proper CSS for having these tables aligned like this http://prntscr.com/czb0dw on mobile view.
Okay,
But Under your predefined layout the Block “editor Pick” is empty.
How do you add content to that block?
Hi,
There is no way of showing 2 columns. The block Catalin mentioned shows 2 posts in one column. But you cannot have 2 columns as the mobile view is only 1 column. There is no simple way of having 2 columns on mobile.
This is the way our theme was built. Once the screen goes under 767 px, then only 1 column will be displayed. Block 15 was an exception as it shows 2 posts on 1 column but there is no other element that can do rthis.
What are you trying to achieve? what element do you want to create? what content are you trying to add?
Hello,
The column layout is added in visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
You will have to play around in visual composer to learn how to use it and how to add content to your pages. Once you figure out the basics, you can start adding a row and split it into 1, 2 or 3 sections as the link above mentions. Then you can add elements in each section. Once you add an element you will have a bunch of settings for each one. Here is a guide on how to use them: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
If you require more information, take a look through our documentation and our youtube page.
This brief guide will show the basics of Visual Composer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWqozuqmJk&list=PL6CsDkMaejhrfEuAth6JVYLPmFwFzNFwY&index=2
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
