Hello,
You can show anything you want on a static page. Either a list of all posts, or a list of specific posts or a grid or blocks etc.
Please use this guide to see how you can create a homepage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Also start using visual composer a bit to get a feel of what can be created with it. Only through visual composer can the theme show it’s blocks and grids and other cool content.
Thank you!
Hello,
Our theme does not have different image spots for the post and for the homepage blocks unfortunately. Our theme only uses one featured image creating different size thumbs for it and used both on the post itself and on modules and blocks.
I will add this to our list of feature requests and if it grows in demand we will consider implementing such an option.
Thank you!
That is blocked resources and the reason for wp (mean the theme). Because I did completely everthing but Google search console failed .
I think this problem related to you. How can Google search a draft document?
Please you have an interest in the problem…
Hello CS,
Unfortunately, this error could come from a big number of problems. I believe it happens due to a server configuration which is not responding, it could be due to a delay or it could also be a temporary issue so you can try this a few times and if you still get this error please contact your host provider and let him know about this, ask them to unblock our demo in order to retrieve the theme data. It could also happen due to your wp install or other plugins might also cause this. Also, make sure that your permission for the upload folder is set correct. You can check this by trying to upload an image in the media library. If the process succeeds then the permission is ok. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) or if you do not have access to the Cpanel, please contact your hosting provider.
Also make sure you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
If you still cannot install the demo, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look. Please also provide a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hello Auresha1985,
I do not exactly understand what you mean, but please notice that our theme uses some thumbs and all the images which were loaded there will have been cut in the certain sizes for a better look because this is the theme system. For more information and for a better understanding of you, please check the documentation here ->
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-tag-on-modulesblocks/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Please try to read all our documentation, try to understand it and then if you will have some questions in this regard, please ask them.
Also, to understand the concept, you can check and this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/auto-resizestretch-image-thumbnail-to-fit-on-home-page/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Basically this is only limited by your creativity. You can use any blocks and grids to show ALL posts with the latest post sorting. You can choose any block and check it;s block settings. Each block has the latest sorting option which will bring all posts from the site. The page you showed is a category page that only uses a big grid 1 for the top grid element and then a you can use a block 4 to get that exact layout:
The first grid depending on the one you use, needs to have an offset of the posts it already displayed so they won;t be doubled in the second block element: http://screencast.com/t/FSfVFgjHmH and then add a block 4 beneath it. The default sorting option is ‘latest’ so we do not have to change the sorting: http://screencast.com/t/hOfsNHuomzMD – http://screencast.com/t/kMkcb4Nss
Please use this guide to learn more about block settings as they are very important for you to set up your site in creative ways: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello Gadgetsay,
Please notice that the Trending feature is just a simple block which displays only the post title it could be set from Block Settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Zl7VTlGe8S
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hello,
The featured image placeholder is an image that is only used on modules and blocks unfortunately. Not on posts themselves. If you do not use any featured image, we suggest using a post style that does not need the featured image for it;s layout. please do not use styles: 3, 4, 6, 7 or 8
Thank you!
Hi
@ryanpower
Please try this:
“It seems that the theme cannot connect to Facebook API because port 443 is blocked. Please check in C-panel, on your server, if you have a firewall which blocks external connection and try to set an exception for port 443.
You can also contact the host provider and let him know about this, he should be able to provide a more accurate answer.”
This is the answer provided for the above request. If this is not the case for you, then please also send us an email and we will look into it.
Thank you!
Hello wordnow,
In this case, please try to use the Text with Title + Video Player element from Visual Composer if you want that your title to be underlined and that it have the same style as in this example -> http://screencast.com/t/dQjOuRLc -> http://screencast.com/t/FJZHOBKpsilm For better results, then you should use a bit of CSS to remove some padding bottom and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/kZKdL9dv8
The code is ->
.td_block_text_with_title {
padding-bottom: 0;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi, sorry if my reply sounded mean 🙂
Critical CSS is the “needed CSS” to render the above the fold content. Which might only be 20% of the CSS loaded for entire page, but when loaded inline with every page the page itself is a little bigger, but the browser doesn’t need to wait for ANY of the css and js files. This is the only way I’ve found to fully eliminate the “render blocking” message from Pagespeed Insights.
While the SpeedBooster plugin does pretty good job of moving stuff to footer (and I presume you know how to look at your page source to see if that actually happened, and WHAT is being loaded in the header), as I stated in many cases with WP, you cannot just move everything to the footer as then nothing actually loads until you get there.
TagDiv are doing a “sort of” version of this by front loading some of the CSS, and then moving the stuff to footer; but if you still get the message then it means this “scheme” didn’t quite work, and not really their fault — it will NOT work for everyone; even if they can do it with some (ahem, not all) of their demos.
Go test their demo post for example, see what happens 😉
So, the trick is to use a custom css “critical css generator” that scans your post and then figure out WHAT needs to load first “critical” in the sense it’s needed to load the page BEFORE all the css/js crap in the footer.
For this example “critical” would be defined as :
critical
· adj.
having a decisive importance in the success or failure of something.
So … TagDiv might want to — and will — weigh in as part of their lovely support effort, but you should concentrate on ALL OTHER pagespeed elements, and leave that one thing for last. Or it will drive you insane until you just learn how to get the “critical CSS’ added to the header.php file right above the body tag. Seriously. Been there. 🙂
I don’t work here; take it or leave it.
I thought I did answer it. To remove the ‘render blocking,’ you have to embed all the ‘critical’ css in your header.php file manually.
Perhaps TagDiv will have better answer when back in the office. Sorry that didn’t help. 🙂
Good evening,
I really like your theme and I find it quite to adapt!
I am real beginner here and I am not sure how to apporach this issue, I check the block settings and I didn’t find the answer to my question.
I use some portrait pictures in my posts and the thumbnails coming out of them create an umbalance in the block, would you know how to fix it?
http://www.biguden.com/ I have this issue in the block 15 (breezy gallery)
Also on the block 1 (discover now) is there a way to have the pictures on the same size? or maybe there is another I could use?
Many thanks for all your help.
Following here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Have moved lots of CSS to footer in td-speed-booster.php
Examples:
/**
* here we move the css
*/
function css_mover() {
if ($this->td_theme_name == 'Newspaper') {
// wp 011 - Newspaper 6
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('google_font_open_sans');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('google_font_roboto');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('bbp-default-bbpress'); //bbpress old
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('bbp-default'); // bbpress
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('contact-form-7'); // end of initial list, rest custom
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('gd-captcha-style');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('geodir-core-scss');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('font-awesome');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('geodir-event-frontend-style');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('location_manager_css');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('social-widget');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('woocommerce-layout');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('woocommerce-general');
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue('td-theme');
But Google is still listing all these resources under the Page Speed error (Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content).
I’ve cleared the cache and checked several times. Nothing. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry to ask a possibly dumb question, but where would admin-ajax.php need to be whitelisted on the server? I’ve disabled all of the site plugins, so I don’t believe any of them could be blocking the file, but I’m having the same issue–we can’t save changes to some settings in the Newspaper admin panel.
I am in communication with an assist person at Adsense which is good. They tell me that Google search the Home Page for the ad code. I have used the THEME > ADS section and changed all the boxes by adding the AUTO sizing code they want. BUT she tells me there are three ads on my Home page with set sizes that won’t work. I need to change them to AUTO size to get approved. So, as this is meant to be an adsense friendly web site for easy use, why is it I can’t see any place to change what she can see at Google that is blocking, and how do I access these advert codes to change them. She sees this <script type=”text/javascript”>
var td_screen_width = document.body.clientWidth;
if ( td_screen_width >= 1140 ) {
/* large monitors */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-7683077456384976″ data-ad-slot=”7020021044″></ins>’);
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
}
if ( td_screen_width >= 1019 && td_screen_width < 1140 ) {
/* landscape tablets */
document.write(‘<ins class=”adsbygoogle” style=”display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px” data-ad-client=”ca-pub-7683077456384976″ data-ad-slot=”7020021044″></ins>’);

What is A block, a element used for this?
My site is rendering strange in Firefox but good in all other browsers. column layout in top articles block (block 3) rendering 2 thumbs whitespace next row 1 thumb 2whitespace
next row 2 thumbs whitspace.
Anybody else experience this? Any resolution?
The pagination on blocks is different than the pagination on the latest articles section. There is no block with that pagination style. Sorry.
Its ok, I can understand that there are many replies so we might miss the point, hehe.
One last question before we have this closed: is there any block that can show latest posts with pagination, exactly like the template of homepage?
Hi
Are you referring at video playlist from homepage: http://screencast.com/t/9Yf6DNpKJ If so you can remove it by editing the page with Visual Composer and delete that row. For more details about how to use Visual Composer and how to customize the homepage please check these links: 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/
Thanks!
Thats a good way, yes. However, I was unable to reproduce the sidebar. Is there a way to reproduce the same output by using a default template, a block and a sidebar?
My initial question actually says “I think that the best way to do so is to switch to “pagebuilder + title” template and have the latest articles added manually.
We tried to do so, but this doesnt add the sidebar.” so it was mentioned from the start. Because i received no reply on this, I tried to find alternatives.
Hi
That happens because robots.txt file block google to crawl that folder: http://screencast.com/t/wyMjcLsLLrW You need to change that rule and the error should disappear.
Thanks!
Sorry for the inconvenience but the latest articles section was not created with this in mind. It was intented to go under all content. it was a decision the dev’s took.
But if this is such an important aspect for you why not give up on the latest articles section and simply use another page template like the default page template or the page builder + page title that do not have the latest articles section and you can use one of the standard blocks for this element. You can even name it latest articles and set the block you want to display it and set the pagination from the pagination settings. Then you can add content underneath it without an issue straight from visual composer.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan, thank you for answering!
I know there is an option to filter the Related Articles by tag but that’s not exactly what I need.
Using the Related Articles by category is good enough, the problem is that having a category “All”, makes this filter useless, which is understandable as it’s going to filter the “All” category and return/show every post.
To solve this, I need to exclude the category “All” from the “Related Articles by category” filter, so it uses every other category as filter.
How can I achieve this? Maybe somewhere in td_block_related_posts.php?
Thank you
