Hi
The theme set a 1068px width for content and this value can be changed easily. All theme’s blocks, modules and post/page templates relay on this value so if it’s changed all layout must be re-built.
You can try below css to add a border but is possible only like this: http://screencast.com/t/z8LeAiHTbo0h
.td-main-content-wrap .td-container {
width: 1070px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
For a different implementation you will need additional customizations. We can’t offer customization services at the moment so if you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you.
Thanks!
Hi,
I want to post specific stories directly into Block 16 and NOT have them go to the Big Grid when stories are first published. Is this possible?
Example: On my college football page (link below) I have a Big Grid 6 and below that I have Block 16 that is titled CFB (College Football) News. For just news stories (i.e a coach gets fired), I want to put those types of articles in that spot and NOT part of the Big Grid. I’ve played around with a bunch of settings and haven’t been able to get it to work.
My Website: http://fan-insider.com/college-football/
I look forward to your reply.

Hello,
The menu hover and the links are affected by the theme accent color. The red color on your blocks is added through visual composer but that only affects the block itself, not external elements. You can change the accent color like so: http://screencast.com/t/I26bXYN2dVB
Thank you!
My page show the codes of blocks in the homepage, please helpme to delete it.

Catalin,
Thank you for your reply. I’m not sure that I understand your comment concerning not being able to compare the two sites?
On my laptop and external monitor the http://newstest.meta-morphos.es/ home page looks the same when the mobile plugin is turned on or off. The only difference I see is when I view the site from my mobile phone. The mobile plugin reduces the front page to a vertical stack of scrolling blocks.
I’ve now removed all CSS fron the ‘newstest’ site and only have the Visual Composer and Slider Revolution plugins activated. The one customization is that I replaced the original top left column block with one Revolution slider block. One a large monitor the front page looks AOK and displays the same on Firefox and Chrome. When I view it on the mobile phone it almost displays correctly but the left margin is shifted left and crops off some of the text. The right column doesn’t display well.
It appears that one solution is to use it with this one customization and with the mobile plugin turned on. On mobile viewing it abbreviates the front page content but at least displays a usable vertical scrolling stack of info blocks.

Is it possible to turn off the Magazine themes default effort to transform the standard site into a responsive version?
That is, to have the complete site page (without mobile plugin) displayed on mobile screens and simply scaled down to fit the mobile or tablet window? I have this option with a framework theme and the mini display of the complete web page works fine. One simply zooms in to select the menu or view areas of the page.(Please see; http://www.kaufmanndesign.com)
This would provide a simple solution for several issues. The pages could still handle iframes, and there would be no surprises for any pages customized with CSS. If a page look good on a normal screen, then it would look fine on a mobile screen. Maybe this setting option is somewhere in the theme settings?
It’s a bit of a surprise that with 50+ Visual Composer elements and blocks as standard tools on the Newspaper theme that it’s not possible to shift a few around without breaking the theme. In the Magazine/Newspaper theme, is it primarily the first top left column block that’s critical to hold the page together as originally intended?
Thanks, Lon K
Thanks!!! But I have a new problem with the mobile version :C
I can’t display the blocks in the iPhone :C only the last articles… For example:
-Demo-
http://www.screencast.com/t/AN6j39WYje
-My Site-
http://www.screencast.com/t/lv1QaOlervxt
Please walk with me through the steps, and try to point me to the mistake.
Here’s what i do.
1. I have a plugin to show the IDS of the posts. Here’s a list. Let’s take the first one.

2. This is the homepage layout. There are single slide blocks in at least 2 places as you can see.

3. Let’s pick the first slide block. The behavior is the same for the second one, too.

4. This is the general settings tab. 1 slide only.

5. This is the filters tab. Let’s put the ID of the latest post: 5892. Sort order is set to -Latest-. (Any id I have tried so far gives me the same non-rendering result. The same is true for the sort orders, too).

6. This is the result – the block doesn’t even render!

7. This is what is should look like (this is the result when I pick to show the latest post from a specific category).

8. This is the filters tab of Big Grid 7 block, just below the first slide block, with post IDs. – It works as expected.

Hello, guys.
For example: I have 3 category – cat1, cat2, cat3.
And I want that [tagDiv] Block widget show last posts in sidebar from current post category.
So when I visit post from cat1, in sidebar [tagDiv] Block widget show last posts from cat1.
When I visit post from cat2, in sidebar [tagDiv] Block widget show last posts from cat2.
How can I do that?
Thanks.
I did understand how to change the block settings using the different moduls in my questions 1, 2 and 4. I am looking for the font used in block 13 (Modul 14 and Modul MX3) and want to apply the same on the font used for Body General Font. I have previous tried to use the browser Inspector, but I cannot understand how to do it I am afraid.
I have tried to change the Body General Font to Open Font or Roboto, but it is not the same as in Module 13. Can you please help me with the text font used in Block 13/Module MX3?
Also…
as noted in couple of my optimization threads the only way to remove ‘render blocking’ resources for mobile is to actually move the style.css to footer, de-enqueue it from header, and then manually insert the critical CSS in the header.php file manually (use a critical css generator to do this task). This is how I do it.
That is the broad stroke, but something you can explore on your own time. 🙂
Hi
You can use Visual Composer page-builder to add/delete blocks from pages. For more details please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-video-playlist/
Let us know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi
Yes you can disable meta infos on modules from thee panel > block settings: http://screencast.com/t/7EbWzbaS1y6q
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi
Glad you have manged to sort this out in the end and you have successfully moved the scripts to page’s bottom.
I’ve checked your site again with google page speed tool and the render blocking resources are reported only for mobile devices, even if they are loaded in footer: http://screencast.com/t/yYwtOR38C – http://screencast.com/t/EjNAHbMBXWG2
Google is very restrictive when it comes about mobile page speed and some things may be interpreted different then for desktop. The Speed Booster plugin does its job and moves those scripts at page’s bottom but it can’t change how google generate the reports. We know about this situation and indeed it’s very strange but we can’t do much about it. The theme and plugins control only page’s html, not google’s algorithm in page speed regard.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please follow this guide to improve page speed and remove render blocking JS: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
As a note on the speedbooster plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Thank you!
Hello,
Our theme was not meant to work as a one-page layout. Our theme is a news based theme with a fixed width layout, not a full screen one as you request. You can create a few full screen elements using visual composer though but for this you must make sure not to use any background image or color (this will cause the theme to go into boxed mode) You can use the visual composer stretch row setting accessed in row settings but be mindful our theme blocks will not work properly in a stretched row. Please only use visual composer elements in a stretched row if you plan to stretch content as well. http://screencast.com/t/yCyFQ7veg
Thank you!
Hello, after I have upgrade to the newest version of your theme, in all the blocks of the website the authors name and an icon that counts comments is shown. Is there any way I can hide the authors name and the comments icon from the blocks? Thank you in advance!
Hello,
1. The fonts can be changed for each module in particular. The module is the base element in our theme. A block consists of 1 or more modules. You can find a list of what modules are used on what block here: http://screencast.com/t/brl5OaBYkP Then you can access this part of the fonts section: http://screencast.com/t/Xf935WZJe6k
2. Every part of the site can be changed from the block settings. Our default fonts are ‘open sans’ and ‘roboto’
3. If you do not use the blockquote elements, yopu can try to use a span around the ” and add an inline css to it like this link suggests:http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_span.asp
4. We did not add a specific values for the elements. They were set with the value the designer considered them to display properly in. If you want to see what font size a particular element has, you can use the browser inspector to do it. You can use this guide on how to use it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
5. You can find the color settings under the theme panel-> theme colors tab here: http://screencast.com/t/Vv67faEMMX
Thank you!
Hi
To achieve that you will also need some custom modules, there you have to call the images, and new thumb sizes. The new thumbs can be defined in td_config.php: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbadd/ Also you can’t use the new block in td-container which have a fixed width. You can add a new container above td-container, make it full width and use do_shortcode() to echo out the new block: http://screencast.com/t/NcwL9mrQJv1
Thanks!
Hi Catalin,
i don’t use Speed Booster.
The Ad System i’m using is one of the most used, and i’ve used that plugin on many other themes without any problem. As you know, with newspaper, the shortcode inside a block text is running, but not inside the header (both shortcode or php). So, could you suppose that your theme may have a little problem?
Thank you
Maurizio
Hello advckr,
For more investigations, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Also, please notice that the Block web browser is not tested with our theme and we cannot say for sure if the theme will work as properly on it, sorry! You can provide the link of this topic so we can easily identify you.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
It probably means that the post id is incorrect or you are inserting it in the wrong place. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello,
The header styles are different on each demo and you cannot change this from the theme panel. Each demo has it’s unique header style. If you want to change the header style you will have to edit the theme code for the element or use custom css for it.
As for the iframe, our modules and blocks ere not designed to show iframes. Sorry. Our theme modules and blocks will only show the post featured images and the excerpt, not an iframe element. If you require this you will have to implement it custom. As for the firefox issue, It;s most likely caused by the table you are implementing at the top iof the content. Please try to remove the table and see if you still get the error
Thank you!
Hello,
This happens when you have a random sorting order or you have the same sorting on multiple posts. The unique articles will not work with pagination simple/load more or others. Please use a different sorting order for your blocks if you use pagination: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello,
If you did not regenerate your thumbnails after you activated newspaper, then you need to do so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hello lasvegascfp,
Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->

display:none;
}
}
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu-full {
display: block!important;
}
}
@media (max-width: 767px){
div.td-header-sp-top-menu {
display:block !important;
}
}
@media (max-width: 767px){

display: block!important;
}
}
.td-header-sp-top-widget, .td_ul_login{
