Hello,
Well if the images are only 640 px width and the text is 696 px, then the image will not be able to stretch as our theme does not stretch images. It only crops them. Unfortunately there is no automatic way of changing all posts at once from the theme or wp setiongs. One solution would be to use this css to try to force 696 px on the image:
.td-post-content .alignnone, .wpb_text_column .alignnone, .td_block_text_with_title .alignnone, .woocommerce #tab-description .alignnone, .mce-content-body .alignnone{
margin: 0 0px;
width:100%!important;
}
This code will work if your images have no alignment. if you have an alignment set to them from the wp settings then another code is required. Please specify the alignment you have on your images if you have one.
Thank you!
Hello,
The mobile theme will not allow any blocks to be added on posts. It only uses on grid created specifically for the homepage and the rest are modules again created specifically for the mobile theme. The theme blocks you can see on desktop cannot be used on the mobile theme as it;s a totally different theme. You must think of the mobile theme as a separate theme that does not have those elements. You cannot use an element from one theme on another. If you want to have the default blocks from our theme on mobile, simply deactivate the mobile theme and use the standard responsive version. That way the mobile version will be able top provide the blocks you need if you add a block to the post template with a do_shortcode function.
As for the social icons, there is no easy way of adding a new social network. They are hard-coded and can only be altered from the theme files.
Here are a couple of examples:

Thank you!
Hi
With block 16 this is not possible, sorry. You will have to change block’s layout for mobile devices in order to achieve a similar rezult. I can’t provide a solution for the moment as this is a complex task which involve many tests and time to be completed.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Im having a few problems –
#1 Using Block 5 in a 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/4 row – in th 1/2 block
Im getting a huge gap between the feature image and the title.
(see image i am sending)
#2 The crop on a feature image when it it is in a 1/4 column
is not favoring top – center. it seems top-left.
(see image)
#3 displaying a page of post based on a Tag I want to choose a different
template. I’m I just not finding this? (see image)
#4 Can I resize a video in the body of a post? I have inserted a Youtube
video and I want it to display smaller on the post page.
see problems at this link
And by the Andrei,
You missed one very important point, you checked the homepage but usually, Google or real people visit individual homepage quite often. And on the individual posts, the same .js and .css file ( One Akismet .js files and other 5 css file 2 from Google API and 3 from a tomatoheart plugin VC and style.CSS .
Have a look at the Google Pagespeed Insight for one of the post : http://tomatoheart.com/webjockey/facts-about-bb-ki-vines-bhuvan-bam/ at https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=tomatoheart.com%2Fwebjockey%2Ffacts-about-bb-ki-vines-bhuvan-bam%2F&tab=desktop
Here, mobile and desktop score is almost same: 66/68 ( Snapshot here: https://i.snag.gy/GEvA1z.jpg )
Render blocking Codes from Desktop are:
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

You can check it for any posts of my website and you will find the same thing. SO, the issue is not only with Mobile version.
You may want to look at it again.

Did you try the normal fixes to solve the issue with your WordPress setup?
a) proper install of theme and plugins; disable plugins that came with former theme
b) check enough system resources per the theme system status
c) disable plugins you might be using that conflict with Visual Composer
d) clear cache in browser and on your site
e) RTFM (read the instructions)
f) turn off ad blocking or intrusive anti-virus that blocks your own WordPress admin panel
g) be very specific in WHAT does not save, where, and what you did to try to debug why YOUR setup isn’t working
h) review other topics on here as to how folks fixed their particular problem, such as using cloudflare the wrong way, or not clearing cache, etc. — only YOU can manage your own website — theme cannot fix things unrelated to itself, nor can others
i) if you ask for help, people here try to help
j) insults and the like help no-one
Tens of thousands of people using this theme for 3+ years use it every day; but not every web hosting setup is the same. If your setup works with “normal” WordPress settings and is up to date with latest secured version of WP, theme should work if properly installed.
Tech support offers help as time permits, in order received, and they do respond to everybody and all emails. And have always done so, as I can attest as long time user.
Don’t give up! Try to check some of the things mentioned above AGAIN, if done already — try changing to different web browser (e.g., CHROME); if you’re using broken old version of Safari on Windows, or similar, that can be issue also.
Helps to describe what you are doing and HOW you are doing it, and perhaps you will get some help.
How do I can do the picture

How Do Im activate new mobile theme
Hi.
If it’s not a bug but a feature, then you need to fix consistency with the other filters. Because if you limit the post showed to 1, and choose another filter (e.g. category filter), then the 1 slide block renders normally with just one slide (which shouldn’t, according to the default design you mention).
Then if you do that, it would be useful to not allow the users putting value number 1 in the posts limit field of the said block, to protect them from making mistakes and scratching their heads if things don’t go as expected. Or you can also add this special instruction to the documentation page you directed me in your first answer.
But well, all this is so counter-intuitive. And what’s the point in making the user’s life harder than easier?
If the user chooses to show just 1 slide in the posts limit, then maybe there is a hidden need underneath, and perhaps they believe they can achieve the expected result with what they have.
Maybe there is a lack of a big non-sliding block such as the homepage post, for an important article at the top and maybe a couple important articles in the middle, which can be used multiple times across the page and doesn’t affect the background ads the site may have implemented.
The slide block could easily do the job and double up as Big Single Block and cover this need (and a further improvement would be to disable the display of the next and prev buttons on hover if there is just one slide in the slide block, for whatever the reason).
In any case, why don’t you consider it?
It’s friendly, honest feedback, to make your product even better than it already is.
I can’t do nothing with the theme, I can’t click everywhere, when I go in the theme pannel all the options are blocked I can’t click, when I wan’t to add a new theme with the newspaper activate theme it’s blocked I can’t click, nothing’s happen but when I try to add a theme with an othere theme activate it’s working.
lol I can’t even delete it, they say : Delete failed, the theme doesn’t exist.
and yet it still there
I tried to remove it from the ftp and re-install it again but still the same problem
It’s the latest version of Newsmag 😉
From your Themeforest account, “downloads.”

Version 3.1 – July 25th, 2016
UPDATE NOTICE: Please note that this version does not work with legacy Visual Composer versions.
new: Visual Composer plugin updated to the latest version 4.12
new: login, register and forgot password ajax windows, a complete and more modern redesign.
new: added support for full height rows, column position and content position on them in Visual Composer.
new: added support for parallax speed on rows
new: added support for equal height inner rows and content placement
new: setting to hide the author name on modules and on single posts independently. Previously there was only one global setting.
new: Added support for custom fonts in theme panel that are uploaded via the wordpress media gallery. The custom fonts can be used just like before on most of the theme’s UI without writing any code
new: the weather widget now opens an input if it’s unable to locate the user via the browser’s location API.
misc: we fully rewrote the trending now block, it’s now leaner and it works better
misc: block parameters now have a better description
misc: code improvements to the following shortcodes: td_block_big_grid_slide, td_block_homepage_full_1, td_block_ad_box and the video playlists
misc: the media gallery that is used in the theme panel is now less cluttered and without the unused options
misc: we cleaned the theme panel and the code is more organized now
misc: all the blocks now show a notice to admins on the frontend when there are missing settings that are required.
misc: the main theme loader is smoother now and has small design improvements
misc: we changed the way templates detect the Visual Composer plugin. The detection method is based on VC_ROW and it only triggers when VC_ROW is found in the content. This allows one to use shortcodes in the default templates that have sidebar + title.
misc: added font settings for post lists
misc: drop caps font settings issue fix
misc: all the advertising blocks now support an ad title
misc: various google webmaster structured data issues have been fixed
misc: better support for IE8

I”m using Block 16 on my main page, i think it’s a little too big on mobile, because it shows one big story. I would like to show two stories from the category in two columns … it that possible?
Hi!
I use the style 3 for my post template and I would like to display the title on the featured image… (just keep the date) So I was looking for some help in the forum and I found a topic about that with this code :
.td_block_wrap .entry-title, .td_block_wrap .td-module-meta-info{
display:none!important;
}
I tried to put it on the custom CSS (with the theme panel) but it does’nt work and as I’m french and my english is not so good, maybe I’m wrong in my understanding of this topic… 😉
Any solution? Thanks!!!
I’m aware of the reasons for the mobile theme not supporting widgets and shortcodes, but it des render blocks, which is why is like to include some below the post body. I’m not familiar with how the defaul styles applied in the theme panel are implemented. I had hoped that Composer would allow me to clone and modify them.
A few things seem to be hard coded into the theme, which does hamper customisation somewhat. Take for example the sharing buttons. There is no obvious way to add, for example, a “Reddit this” button without delving into code.
Am I missing something obvious?
Hi,
I’m not really sure what you mean. I understand that you have block 10 with latest articles sort order on your page, but I don’t know what are you trying to do.
Do you want to copy the shortcode?
Can you provide a screenshot with your backend content and more details about your issue? Let us know and we will try to provide a solution.
Thanks!
Hi
At page’s first load the most recent articles are loaded if the settings used for blocks are made like this. If there is necessary a reload to have the proper content displayed it’s most likely a cache issue.
Thanks!
Hi!
I have a latest articels block in a Block 10. How can i add a shortcode in the displayed information? I can’t seem to find it in the editor. Thanks!
Вот здесь почитайте: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Aspect Ratio
There’s no ideal image size for cropping, a part of the image will be lost due to aspect ratio differences. On the Newspaper theme some modules have a 16:9 aspect ratio, while others have one closer to 4:3.
Example 1: if you upload an image that has an aspect ratio close to 4:3 the cropping function will cut the bottom on thumbs which have a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Example 2: if you upload a 16:9 image the function will cut a portion from the sides for the thumbs that have an a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Depending on the module used, the best solution is to experiment with different sizes and see which one offers the best results.
Hi,
Unfortunately the Related Articles block was designed for default post types and you will need custom modifications to adjust it also for custom post types, as by default it doesn’t have support for them, sorry! I suggest to get someone to help you with this as it is not an easy task and we cannot provide custom services at this time.
Thanks!
HI
Please refer to our documentation for more details about how to use Visual Composer and customize the homepage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Now to respond on this specific matter are two ways to achieve the desired result:
– use a 2/3+1/3 layout for pages like here: http://screencast.com/t/gtxjGSH5I – http://screencast.com/t/5GH0TAfZtad
– add it as a widget in sidebar from Appearance > widgets: http://screencast.com/t/epP6x6XKtR – http://screencast.com/t/JubydjNv3Oq
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Is it possible with either of these tools to edit the layout of a single post page to put arbitrary blocks below (or indeed in) the post? I know the footer is configurable, but I want to place something alongside ‘Related posts’ that will also display on the mobile theme, as widgets and short codes won’t work on mobile.
HI
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you setup block 16 to display posts from category COLLEGE FOOTBALL You can either assign this category for all post that you want them to be displayed in block 16 or add a specific tag for them then use that tag in block’s settings. For example add sport tag for the posts that you want them displayed in block 16 and simple change the filter in block settings: http://screencast.com/t/X0cnoOlcqS
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi,
The tagdiv blocks use get_excerpt function and from Theme Panel > Excerpts section you can control the length for excerpts for blocks/modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
Only module 15 use get_content function and you can control the text using “more” tag. This module can be used on loop templates (category, tag, latest articles..).
Thanks!
Hi
Slide block won’t render if you set the limit post number to 1 as it is here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14103014/tagdiv/s4.png You need at least 2 posts in order to display the slide. If you want to make it work with one post you need to edit td_block_slide.php file and remove this condition: http://screencast.com/t/Glhs9kCW01F
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi,
This was what I asked you. Did you implemented the custom ad in the post template that you use?
If this is what you mean, your code modification was removed by the update and you need to re-add your custom ad to your template above the post title(I see you use post style 2) – http://screencast.com/t/Z5Grx8bgRFZ
So you could try to use do_shortcode function and implement the custom ad there – http://screencast.com/t/TY8jivNVEoO – http://screencast.com/t/xnBmuwlU04g
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
Hope this helps!
