Chris, Chris, Chris, I don’t know why you assume that I don’t care about your opinion, I got nothing personal really, its just that I’m frustrated with my issue and the recommendations given to me don’t work, my robots are normal, I’m not using anything abnormal settings, just blocking wp/admin and wp* in robots file, that’s all, I don’t think that’s a reason to give me errors, all those css errors are unknown to me, first time that I see this many errors, anyways, maybe I should get me someone to adjust my htaccess file to solve this problem.
And FYI, all opinions are a mind opening experience for me, I’m glad you’re not having these problems with your blogs, maybe you can help me fix this?? I can copy your settings and give it a try.
Hello,
I would like to make any custom text areas that have a custom title clickable to it’s category just like the other Block Titles on my home page. I am sure it must be in the support archives somewhere but cannot locate it.
I would like to add a link to a custom title located inside a text block:
Can anyone kindly help me with the syntax, I’m looking to add an href but am unfamiliar with how to amend the below code properly to include one.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
[td_block_1 category_id="x" limit="x" custom_title="xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxx" td_filter_default_txt="All" sort="random_posts"]
Screencast is not loading.. it seems it is down..
anyway thanks got it from the block panel
Even with the ENFOLD theme, and with the “mobile friendly” okay badge, you still have some notable problems.
How Googlebot sees this page
This page uses 28 resources which are blocked by robots.txt.
Looks like you might have a bad config in your robots.txt blocking things, which is why I see a broken layout with missing CSS/JS even with this theme in the preview image.
OK, every post is signed by one-and-only author. When mouse points to name of the author it shows his login and link to his posts. It would be great don’t show those parameters. I’d like to show the link to the site. And above mentioned code does this task. But when I paginate into the blocks the name of author is disappeared.
You can see at the site http://pharmanext.ru/
Hello,
I will add this to our list for further testing. At the moment The first thing that comes to mind is that admin ajax is used for more features in our theme, not just the ajax view count. Ajax is used for the live search, for the blocks pagination and fort the blocks ajax filters. Blocking it in robots.txt will not make ajax not work anymore but it could influence google and it;s crawler when it comes to indexing your content. You can test it out as i cannot provide a precise answer for this request. Try it out with a bit of trial and error and see how it goes.
Thank you!
HI
We covered in our documentation most important aspects google notifies you about in page-speed regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ According to google’s report you can reduce the load time by enabling compression for static resources. Fore more details please check these links: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/EnableCompression – https://gtmetrix.com/enable-gzip-compression.html – https://gtmetrix.com/leverage-browser-caching.html
To remove render blocking resources you can use our Speed Booster plugin as we indicated in our documentation at pint 5. Fore more details about page-speed please also check these topics: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/site-slow-down-caused-by-style-css/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-is-slow-after-updating/ –
Note that you will need a bit of codeing and some customizations in order to achieve a good score for your site. We can’t offer speed customization services at the moment, most we can do is to point a way of improving. 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!
I have caching enabled and am using the ajax view count but i have noticed the google web crawler bot has now started hitting the ajax view count, which would increase the number of views compared to those shown in google analytics now that it will count bot hits.
Also importantly, i don’t want the web crawler wasting time with these extra requests, i’m happy for it to used cached view count each hit.
default robots.txt for wordpress is this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.phpDo you think changing robots.txt to the latter would work? There is a lot conjecture about order of precedence of rules?
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Allow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
Disallow: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=7.3Also if you aren’t already, consider not updating the count if its a bot hit.
EDit: actually google robots.txt tester says the latter should block it but the first version not. Are there any frontend resources or anything loaded via /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?td_theme_name=Newspaper&v=7.3 that i shoudl be aware of i may be affecting?
Hi,
OK, I get the picture now 🙂
1) Here is a neat video I found on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZiyN07bbBM
You need to configure robots.txt in order for it to work properly.
You can also try this method: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22654376/google-webmaster-error-blocked-urls-by-robots-txt-but-no-such-file
There is also a wp option that is causeing a lot of damage in this regard: https://wpshout.com/never-ever-check-discourage-search-engines/
2) We only recommend a sitemap from seo yoast. Use the seo plugin to create your sitemap as itl;s the tested and approved plugin https://kb.yoast.com/kb/enable-xml-sitemaps-in-the-wordpress-seo-plugin/
We have not tested any sitemaps from xml-sitemaps.com but we do not recommend external sourcess to create the sitemap
Thank you!
Hello 4lzn,
Please ensure that our theme does not have such an option for it and if your want to do that, please notice that you will have to do some additional customizations through code that involves custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry! You will have to find some plugins with has this functionality or please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you in this regard.
For your second request, please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Cusotm CSS area.
.td_block_slide .td-icon-left, .td_block_slide .td-icon-right{
opacity:1;
}
Thanks.
Hi,
Let me try to explain better. There is no setting to change the color of the category tag in our theme. the element is added across the whole site.
you can use a css code to change it;s color, but it will change the color for ALL category tags on your site to the same color. This is the code you need to add in the theme panel-> custom css box for this to haoppen:
.td-post-category{
background-color:red!important;
}
This code will make all category tags red: http://screencast.com/t/0lTOULi7fI`
Now if you want to go further in depth and only target a specific block, let;s say I want to target my first block on the page and not any other one. i can access the back-end of the page in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/3X6PF4Vl
i need to move it on a separate row, not like it;s right now. Here is how it will look like: http://screencast.com/t/ZxXPuMkyF0Pw
We do this as you can only add an extra css class on a row, not on a particular block.
now we access row settings and assign a class name. you can name it anything. I will name mine: custom_class:
http://screencast.com/t/FlBUC25u then we hit save and updqate the page.
Now i can use this code:
.custom_class .td-post-category{
background-color:red!important;
}
http://screencast.com/t/yoFtyfEoNH
Thanks.
Hi,
Well all of the ‘popular’ sorting options need views. If your post do not have any views after you activate the option, there will be nothing shown in the block. Here is a guide for the default popular 7 days sorting which specifies this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/7-days-post-sorting/
the counter starts after you activate the option. It will not count back 7 days. it will start at day 1 hour 1 and go from there.
Thanks
Hi,
For my site: http://smallcaps.com.au
1) How can I remove the date from showing on the homepage slider but still have the date show in the articles in the blocks below?
2) The white text for the title in the slide can be hard to see on a white or light background. How can I make it stand out more like on my other site: hangthebankers.com ? Or any other options that will make the text easier to read, perhaps making the text bold or black?
3) When you hover the mouse over the feature image at the top of an article, as in this article: http://smallcaps.com.au/australias-economy-100-quarters-without-recession/
Image showing the yellow box that I want removed:
http://smallcaps.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-09-at-8.50.26-pm.jpg
It shows the name (or alt title) of the image in a yellow box. How can I have it so it doesn’t do this and that it is just the normal mouse cursor like when over a normal image in an article, without losing the alt title keywords for SEO purposes?
4) It does this yellow box thing on the home page too if you hover the mouse over any of the articles. How can I stop this as well?
Thanks in advance

HI
By default the theme displays author name on module 8 which is used in block 9: http://screencast.com/t/AvhzGCicA Try to revert all changes made in theme’s core files, or upload a fresh copy of the theme in WordPress, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
HI
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using default page template for homepage. You can add a sidebar on this page using widgetized sidebar block from Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/ItSml7rlGgi
Let us know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi, dear friends!
Everything is OK, and author name is shown on the blocks.
But when press Next button to paginate it’s disappeared.
Same thing when press Back button.
I use custom code to hide user name in:
includes/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php
change string
$buffy .= ‘post->post_author) . ‘”>’ . get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’, $this->post->post_author) . ‘‘ ;
to
$buffy .= ‘‘ . get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’, $this->post->post_author) . ‘‘ ;
and change following three lines
"' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '"
to
And change code in <em>includes/wp_booster/td_module.php</em>
$buffy .= '<a>post->post_author) . '">' . get_the_author_meta('display_name', $this->post->post_author) . '</a>' ;to
$buffy .= ‘‘ . get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’, $author_id) . ‘‘ ;`
HI
@f_desat those are bloc’s titles and can be changed from Visual Composer, just edit each block and change the title: http://screencast.com/t/Acfzp5f03a For more details about how to use Visual Composer and setup the homepage please check these links: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please keep in mind that all of those are the available settings for sorting block, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/5hoJjkJlq0 If you want to add another one, please notice that you will have to make some additional customizations through code that involves custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
HI
You can hide the author name from theme panel > post settings: http://screencast.com/t/Rm4V10P7gN on posts and from theme panel > block settings: http://screencast.com/t/YZU3n6RZgqW on modules.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
oh wow, thank you! that’s awesome. The wide footer does look nice.
When I am feeling very courageous I will try that. lol
Until then, I found that making the background of the footer transparent improved it a lot and made it not look so much like a little square at the bottom of a top-heavy page (my footer is black).
After playing around with this theme I am realizing it is all about the background. If you put a beautiful background pic and use transparency it is quite stunning.
Theme options are VERY organized. I am loving the blocks and modules and I can see it took a lot of talent and thought into making it user friendly and also efficient.
Thanks You!
Hi,
You can use the ad in a custom ad spot in your theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/swJWM7MHe
Make sure you use this method as it not an adsense ad: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Then you can use a do_shortcode function inside the theme files to make the theme render the shortcode in your desired location. you can add it in the header if you want to have it above all of the content. Depending on the header ad that you use, you can add the code like so:
http://screencast.com/t/b8zN12pDb
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
As of a few days ago my smart sidebar does not show up properly in Firefox and Explorer. It does however in Chrome. Now its placed below the blocks. It does so only on the homepage, not on posts.
I did not add any plugins, I did not alter the homepage settings. I asked my hostingcompany for advice whether it could be a caching problem which they said it was not. They added a Firefox developer status, which is mostly in dutch . I will add it to this conversation as it might help
my version is Newsmag V 2.3.7 , WordPress 4.6
Hello gzelasco,
First of all, please ensure that you have more than 1 posts in that category for bringing good results with this type of block.
Thanks.
