“Block 9” or “Module 9″ ?? Uses td_block_10” – (That’s a bit confusing?)
I’m trying to make it more compact, and remove the category from meta data. But it don’t respond to the “Block Setting” where I should be able to disable this.
I also tried in CSS with:
.td_block_10 .td_module_19 .td-module-meta-info{
display:none!important;
}
But that don’t do anything, how can I control what / if meta data is displayed for “Block 9” ?
And how can I adjust the padding / margin of block 9 over and under its content?
How can I put the date ABOVE the title and not below as it appear now?
Thanks!
Is there some API to add new sort order to blocks or change behavour of existing?
I see there are no sticky posts, any particular reason you disabled it?
On my frontpage I use block 11 with some modifications done in css:
.td_block_11 .td-module-thumb{
display:none!important;
}
.td_block_11 .td_module_10 .item-details {
margin-left: 0!important;
min-height: 0!important;
}
.td_block_11 .td_module_10{
padding-bottom:10px!important
}
.td_block_11 .td_module_10 .entry-title{
padding-left:0!important;
min-height: 20px!important;
}
But can I change the order of title / meta-info / content ?
I would like the “category / date / meta-info” displayed BEFORE the title.
I’ve been looking for some documentation for this method (css examples and docs) in order to customize how blocks appear. But I did not find it.. are there any?
Hi Catalin,
thanks for your answer, but no I would like only to hide 3 of the 5/6 row displayed on the block in the home page. As you could see hee http://it.tinypic.com/r/1183htt/9
Have a nice day

I have added a custom font to the theme. Except one or two things, almost everything functions good.
1. Hier I have used Block 15 and the title of the Post is very small. How can I increase the font size of the Post Title? (as same as the Post Titles of other Blocks)
http://screencast.com/t/mgQZqmuR7S
2. Hier I have used Block 16 and also the title of the Post is small (smaller than excerpt). How can I increase the font size of these Post Titles? (as same as the Post Titles of other Blocks)
http://screencast.com/t/NGKZd5Cph
It will be a great help for me, if you would support me to sort this problem.
Thanking you in advance
Hi Phen,
If you want that your Big Grid Slide to display more posts through sliding, please notice that you will have to increase the post limit from the Block Settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/vJLsFKkvvaB
Thanks for the message!
Hello loano1,
I am glad that you could solve the problem. Also, please notice that until now we have not encountered any problems regarding on Block 14 on mobile mode. This has been tested on my side and everything seems to work as properly.
Thanks for the message!
Hi cbritton,
You will have to regenerate your thumbnails according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thanks for the message!
I have disabled mobile theme plugin and now it displays all blocks and contents properly, but when I enable the plugin it does not.
Anyways I am satisfied how site works on mobile now and will not use mobile plugin afterwards.
Thank you.
Hello gili,
Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td-a-rec-id-header_mob{
display:none;
}
.home .td-a-rec-id-header_mob{
display:block
}
Thanks.
Hi
By default our theme don’t have such an option but you can achieve that by adding this code in td_block_ad_box.php file: http://screencast.com/t/AraavLPDxM
if (is_single(post_id)){
return;
}
To get post’s id please check this screen: http://screencast.com/t/RefVlG7blW
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hi Florestan,
I guess that you are referring to the posts displayed in this block, right? So, please notice that you can change the limit post number from the Block settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/EmCf101kH
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you want to achieve, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hi
You can try this css in theme apnel > custom code > custom css to change the layout of module 10 for mobile: http://screencast.com/t/3kPG3WqoZN4D
@media(max-width: 768px){
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb,
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb {
width: 100%!important;
}
.td_module_10 .item-details{
margin-left: 0;
}
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb {
position: relative;
}
.td_module_10 .td-excerpt {
display: block;
}
}
If you want the css to be applied only for block 11 add .td_block_11 class before each .td_module_10
Thanks!
Hi
Are you referring at titles for those blocks? If so the you can change theme from theme panel > translations: http://screencast.com/t/LEeK1ZDmmh Just search for each title and add a new name for it.
If you want to change the posts displayed there you need to use a footer template which allows you to add custom widgets, for example style 5 or style 9: http://screencast.com/t/aA2CExO8 – http://screencast.com/t/sPSkuZa0ntPw
Let us know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan,
I have asked a related question under new thread here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-speed-booster-not-removing-js-render-blocking-and-other-related-issue/
Please try to give some time to it.
Thank you.
Hi Bogdan, In my thread ( https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-speed-booster-plugin-setup-issues/) you have explained many great things about speedbooster plugin and also explained a workaround way to make all plugins work with tdbooster.
Today I tried to comment out the above-written code from sppedbosster.php to whitelist all the plugins. It worked and now I can see that the “td speed booster plugin” is showing “active” under system panel.
But unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be doing anything. I also the “view source code” on chrome and found “speedbosster is running on each page. but there is no change in pagespeed score and .js and css files are still showing same render blocking issues. Have a look at this screenshot: https://i.snag.gy/6YsgCl.jpg here is the report: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftomatoheart.com%2F&tab=desktop
Shouldn’t it be okay now? What should I do ?
The only change that I notice, is change in the position of image caption box: Here is how it used to look before: https://i.snag.gy/hflEuA.jpg
Here is how it looks now: https://i.snag.gy/ICc1Wj.jpg
The responsibe code for the design and positioning of this image caption box is written under CUSTOM CSS here: https://i.snag.gy/p47FrG.jpg
Here is the code :
.wp-caption-text a {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) none repeat scroll 0 0;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 3%;
}
.wp-caption-text, .wp-caption-text a {
color: #fff;
font-size: 10px;
margin-top: -28px;
text-align: left;
line-height: 20px;
margin-left: 3px;
}
The similar impact I found when I turned on rocket loader of cloudflare. It makes the site very fast but this image caption box disappears once page fully loads. I thought that tdbooster should have compatibility issues only with plugins , not with CUSTOM CSS codes. but it seems to be conflicting with it too.
How can I make this css code unimpactable for rocket loader or td speedbooster plugin. Should I try writing this code directly to style.css ?
Please help me to make these awesome performance plugins compatible .
Thank you.
Hello Samet,
1)I have inspected your website and I did not saw any post template style 7.
2)In order to bring the sidebar for your post pages, please ensure that this feature is enabled from the theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/yOT12JFK3cHP
3)For more information about Meta Info for Modules/Blocks and Post pages, please check here -> http://screencast.com/t/Osg2EZSteLXr and here -> http://screencast.com/t/TorhJEC4TXHz
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect your setup page.
Thanks.
Hi Catalin,
Finally I used
@media (max-width: 767px){ .td_block_2 { padding-top: 50px; } }
in order to only affect the block below. .td_block_wrap would change the distance between all blocks including the big grid. By changing this way, it would be impossible to achieve an equal space between all blocks.
In general there must be a styling issue with bock 14 using block span 14. Perhaps something which could be improved in future updates.
Thanks,
Loano
Hi gardenvale,
This is the Footer template style 1, from what I see, right? So, please notice that this type of template is custom made and these are using those Blocks -> Editor Picks, Popular Posts and Popular Category (these are using the Block 7 and each has other sorting). If you want to change the structure of these, please notice that you will have to change the Footer template from your panel. If you want to make a custom footer template, please notice that you can use the Footer template style 5 and there you can add what elements you want from the Widgets area, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/PWVScMdrj For more information about this section, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello loano1,
Try the code below and place it Theme panel->Custom CSS area and check the results. The code is ->
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_wrap {
padding-top: 5px;
}
}
Thanks for the message!
Hi jmask,
If you want to add a category image for each category which has template style 8, please notice that you should use a bit of CSS code in order to achieve this. So, first of all, you will have to take the category ID for what category you want to add the image and that, with the background-image rule of CSS you can add your desired image. Below, I gave you an example for one category, like this ->
The code is ->
.category-89 .td-category-header.td-image-gradient-style8 {
background-image: url(http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/login-mod.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border-color:red;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/cxIhL9poCkUC
For your second request, if you want to add some content or spot, please notice that you should use the do_shortcode method with some Visual Composer element (as an example Text Block) and then, the shortcode of it, you can add in td_category_template_8.php like this -> http://screencast.com/t/oZDdl9FjV
If you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!

On many of your blocks, such as “big grid 8” and “block 25,” the author name appears just on the larger images. I have a site where author name is of equal importance with post title. Can I alter these blocks so that author name always appears along with post title? There appears to be more than enough room on the images for this. Thanks.
I don’t know of any free version of the plugin I use from Themeforest which is $9.
Basically – use the visibility tab top right of your post edit page; toggle visibility of the ‘featured image’ box; unless you have a featured image for your post, no thumb will be created in blocks. Period. Full stop.
So, you need to use some type of plugin to generate a local image then set it as ‘featured’ in the WP media folder (WordPress itself has no function to make thumbs from external site images). Auto Post Thumbnail PRO, can create image from “first image in post” even if external; then that is set as featured image, then thumbs built from that now local featured image.
We do this on our news network where main site creates news, hosts image, then some of our satellite news portals for local news grab the national story and load the image from main site in post, then the plugn makes the local featured copy so that thumbs can be added to the national news page/index.
In any case, not a theme issue — as you know — since you’re doing something custom/unique unrelated to theme.
You can spend the $9 for legal copy and try it; I’ve been using it for 3 years flawlessly. I rely on it every day for hundreds of images. So, it solved the issue for me. Also solved issue when we moved to Newspaper in 2013 (rev1.0) and our old content on some sites from say 2005-2013 had no featured image, but had image in post. Solved that, too.
I have no interest or relationship to the plugin; but rocks for me 🙂
Just to be clear, this is the one I use on ALL our sites: Best $9 I ever spent on anything. I would have sent him more money if it was donation ware! 🙂

(edited to add correct price of $9 not $8, which was a guess.)
Thanks Chris for stepping up and helping, as You always do..
I am working with this, thanks.
So what I am trying to do, is to setup POST with code from EMBED. I currently use EMBED.LY. SO the post works allright. In the post, You will see image, excerpt and text. This is great, could it show in latest post and more, it would be perfect. What a great tool for a blog.
But there will be no local WP image, so it cannot be shown in grids and blocks. This is the fact, that You state Yourself…:-)
I deleted a plugin, SET: URL FEATUREd IMAGE (it did not do the trick), and then I tryed to install Your mentioned (the free version) AUTO POST THUMBNAIL. This did not do a nothing, AND I did generate the thumbnails.
Now I would love to buy the PRO version, but I am not sure this would work, r is the difference between the free and pro exactly this..:-) ?
What do You think…
Jan
