Hi,
I may not use AdBlock but 40% of people in Poland do 🙂
One way to fool ad blockers is not to use any ad related words in the code (or file names).
Do you think you can change that in the future?

Hello
1) The offset feature is used when you have 2 blocks with the same sorting. It’s a ‘skip posts’ option. If you have different sorting on the blocks skipping a few posts is useless. If you ahve the same sorting no matter the categories, then it is recommended to use offsets.
2) The offset will only make the current block skip the number of posts you want it to. It will not affect any other blocks. it will only affect the block you set it to.
3) You do not need to use both of these options. You can use both but it will do nothing more.
Thank you!
Not all blockquotes make the text uppercase. The one I showed you does not do that. Look: http://screencast.com/t/yOFWPVq3W – no uppercase text. Not all quotes do that.
Please choose a different quote for your posts that do not use uppercase.
Thank you!
I quote myself from above:
As for the meta info, you can select the meta you want for modules and blocks as well as the category tag from the theme panel . You can remove these elements if you do not want them:
http://screencast.com/t/SozRBtvzLAt and http://screencast.com/t/Pl9YedX3V
This will remove the m,eta information from all of the blocks. Our theme does not have any options to hide it for a specific block or grid. If this is what you are after, then you need to specify exactly what grid you want the meta information removed from and I will provide the css code for it.
Thank you!
Hello,
Adblock will hide any ads it can detect. Our ad spots have the word ad in them so any widget that has AD in them will be removed by adblock. The thing is you cannot control what adblock blocks as it gets improved and harder to ‘fool’. Simply do not use it if you want to see the ads.
Thank you!
Hello,
1) Please do one more test with adsense. Please install the adrotate plugin and use your adsense code with the plugin. You can add the plugin shortcode in the theme ad spots. This way you will bypass the theme ad system. See f the plugin shows the ad. This way you will know if the theme is the problem or the ad is the problem.
2) Our theme will create the thumbs you want it to. You can select what thumbs you want to be created from here: http://screencast.com/t/0q4GnuUpwLbw
3) Yes, sorry, there is block 15 that shows 3 thumbs, yes. You can find it in visual composer under all elements:
http://screencast.com/t/wUYmYNt3o
4) You can use this code in the theme panel->custom css box:
#menu-td-demo-header-menu-1 li a:hover, .sf-menu > .current-menu-item > a{
color:white!important
}
Thank you!
Hello,
We offer the guides as a guide is much more comprehensive than anything I can write here. but if youy require further help I will provide it, no problem. For most users that guide helped.
The ajax filter is the menu you mention. It can be found in the block settings. When you add a new block, the settings come up automatically. if the block is already set up but you want to change it, you need to press the little pencil icon here: http://screencast.com/t/ZZiqCDL7hVN8 After that, you need to access the ajax filter tab: http://screencast.com/t/u4AjsMv9yR Here you can find 4 options. First you need to select what you want the filter to show. It can be categories, authors, tags or filter by popularity. If you want to have categories shown, you can select the categories: http://screencast.com/t/CLkwticFix
If you leave it like so then ALL categories will show up. If you want specific ones, you need to add the category id’s in this filed like so: http://screencast.com/t/Pg99rdvxXoi The guide from my previous reply shows how you can get the category id’s. Now your ajax filter will show the id;s you added in the settings. The next 2 options are optional. THis one changes the name from all to whatever you wish it to…you mentioned you want it to say “more” so you simply need to type it in: http://screencast.com/t/GdvFUG27
The ajax preloading is again optional if you wish for it to load when the p[age loads, not when the menu is accessed so you have =navigation without loading but the overall page will load a bit slower.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello,
If you want categories to show up in the ajax filter, you need to add them to the ajax filter tab, not the simple filter tab. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
All of the categories have to show up in the thee panel. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thank you!
Hi ,
Few questions:
1. Can offset features be used if we have selected multiple categories ? For example : under two blocks we have selected “All categories” with “Latest” sorting. Will offset features work? Or offset will work only if we have have single as well as same category?
2. DO these offset features works only under single line( I don’t know the term for it, Single line means 1/3/3,1/3, or 1/3, 2/3 or 1 columns) or it will continue to take care of all posts from the start of the page to the end of the page if enabled?
3. Can we use offset features while keeping the “unique article features” for maximum surity to avoid duplicate posts.?
Okay. Please notice that the above shown/desired blog titles have no mentions of of categories, author names or date etc. on the posts. How can I remove it from Block modules?
Thank you
Hi,
Thanks for your response.
My website is http://proskarzysko.pl/ but I don’t have any commercial banners at the moment. I will have some soon, that is why I did some tests.
But the problem was solved. It was AdBlock! 🙂
This is probably there is a word “adspot” in the code regarding ad title. Actually, that issue would probably affect all ad spots in Newspaper, not just sidebar.
AdBlock tends to clear everything regarding commercials, ads etc. Probably, by searching keywords regarding them.
Interesting is, apart form titles issue, AdBlock seems to block all ad banners in Newspaper, except header and sidebar. At least in my case. The reason may be similar as above – some words in the code.

After updated to 7.3 can’t configure ‘Thumbs on modules & block’, see imagem below:

And some icons only appear when I click on them.
Hi Bogdan,
Was this the standard cookie cutter answer or what? Did you at least look at the link provided – http://testsite.inbishkek.com/block1 ? Is this the kind “support” I was promised when I bought the template? Feed me a link and let me sort it out myself? I have read through this tutorial before and again following your reply – it does not answer my question!
Slide #1 (http://testsite.inbishkek.com/block1) shows a nav menu in Block 1 that “auto populates itself” and my question is how, specifically and where, can I customize it to show 5 specific post categories that I want in the nav menu plus the “more” tab? Also, if I decide that I want to replace the more tab with another category, how to do that?
And please, do not send me another tutorial link, that is bogus customer service & support. You guys promised support, please deliver what you promised.

Seems silly but Visual Composer just won’t install. I’ve tried though Newspaper Plugins, accessing the zip file from my computer, re-loaded N7.3… all from Envato directly. All cases failed.
I get
Destination folder already exists. …/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/
Plugin install failed.
I checked for the folder each time and this ‘folder’ is there before installing.
This should be simple recent post. What am I missing?
GK2
On the site, the only name used is “Team Level Today”. As I remove the name link? of all blocks, modules and post.
*Hide author link on the site for computers and mobile.
Trying to configure block 4 and use multiple category ID’s and certain ones will not show up even though they are listed in the wordpress site (category) section with their ID.
For example would like to include Exclusives category but it does not show up in the ajax menu
Please advise?
test site is : http://newsmag7beta.wpengine.com/
Hi team,
I am now suddenly getting a 404 error when trying to make some changes. I have deactivated most of the plugins, but to no avail.
I can also not update ads on the theme panel as nothing happens except that that block in the middle keeps on turning.
Hi
Note that the child theme was also update and if you’e using V 1.7 the update must be done clean, by this I mean that you have to upload a fresh copy of Newsmag theme and also update the child theme.
You can create you own header.php in child theme as that file can be overwritten there. For more details about child theme support please check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/
Since V 3 we added option which allows you to deactivate post meta on modules. They can be found in theme panel > block settings: http://screencast.com/t/8spjYmoTgf
Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunately our theme needs the thumbs generated for each image. What you can do to reduce the number of thumbs is assess the exact modules and blocks, layouts..etc and make notes on the exact thumbs you use on your site. This should help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
And after you have everything listed, please deactivate the thumbs you do not use from here: http://screencast.com/t/wLtX6iHS
This will greatly reduce the number of thumbs created by the theme.
Thank you!

I want to display the subtitle in a block element in visual composer. Specifically in block 7. Is that possible?
Hello letsteach,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are talking to a simple block 15 from your bottom of the front page, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/GSB7yA2Xh6Oq This block can be renamed from your backend, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/KBrMxf1zESVo
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello rjdtramirez,
After you made the button, from the panel you can set it the certain URL which redirects to another page which has a block sorted by random -> http://screencast.com/t/o5wy5GXk Please notice that any other customization involves custom work and we cannot provide it at the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello quizyourfriends,
Unfortunately, please notice that this type of module is not available for Visual Composer because none of our blocks do not use it. So, please notice that this type of module is only available for Related Articles module and this should be controlled by there -> http://screencast.com/t/s0VhmhJf
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Our grids already have the gradient so you can read the content:
default: http://screencast.com/t/n3R4DpUKfCY no gradient: http://screencast.com/t/z9Q3O94TXkW
You can increase this gradient if you want it stronger with this css code:
.td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 40%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 1) 100%)!important;
}
As for the meta info, you can select the meta you want for modules and blocks as well as the category tag from the theme panel . You can remove these elements if you do not want them:
http://screencast.com/t/SozRBtvzLAt and http://screencast.com/t/Pl9YedX3V
Thank you!
