HI
1. This could be achieved by editing theme’s code. Basically you need to edit the file which generate the header style used and use do_shortcode function to echo out the shortcode which generate that custom menu. http://screencast.com/t/GfnuK6fiYw
2. By default the category page cannot be customized to much, the post order if fixed. However you can use a code snippet to generate a custom one using Visual Composer. Here is an example:
– create a new page and add on blocks which will display all desired posts for the custom category page. You can use all available filters for blocks.
– create a new category page, ex: custom category
– edit category.php file and add a contrition like here: http://screencast.com/t/gxZTyMpw
For ,ore detaisl about is_category function please check this link: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_category/
This is just a basic example but could be customized in many different ways. Note that you may need some additional css for page’s layout.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi
This code is the shortcode from Visual Composer and represents all blocks added on that page. In order to work you need to install Visual Composer plugin to render the shortcodes: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
HI
Our theme was not intent to display it’s grids/blocks on a full width, layout, sorry. The theme works with a fixed width by 1068px for page’s layout and all its elements relay on this value.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please check your Block Settings and try to increase the Limit Post number from here -> http://screencast.com/t/gHv8gMwn and then, here -> http://screencast.com/t/9IL1Y3Ybh you will have to enter all your post ID which you want to display in this block.
Thanks.
Hi,
In my posts I use blockquotes to quote snippets of text from other sources, everything is ok, but…
For some reason when we use the inline ad (for 3 or 4 paragraphs) and coincides with the blockquotes, that banner appear inside the blockquotes and the appearance is not entirely professional.
Any fix?
PS: never third plugins!
Salut macerier,
1)Pentru mai multe detalii despre cum ai putea sa iti customizezi paginile de categorii, as avea rugamintea sa consult acest topic aici -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/custom-category/ deoarece acolo a mai fost discutata o problema de acest tip si am dat unele sugestii si recomandari despre cum s-ar putea face acest lucru. Deasemenea, te rog sa observi ca vei avea nevoie de customizari suplimentare si daca nu esti constient de ele si nu ai ceva experienta in acest domeniu, vei avea nevoie de un freelancer/developer de care sa te ajute caci noi nu putem furniza serviciul de customizari suplimentare in acest moment.
2)Asigura-te ca ai cea mai recenta versiune de tema instalata care vine la pachet cu ultima versiune de Visual Composer, adcia 4.12. Dupa cum se poate vedea aici -> http://screencast.com/t/MQHZsDr7 campul de Post ID este prezent in Block Settings.
Daca nu este setat nimic in Block Settings, atunci bloc-ul respectiv va afisa cele mai recente posturi care au fost adaugate in site-ul tau deoarece setarea default pentru toate blocurile noastre este “Sorted by Latest”.
Daca ai nevoie de mai multa asistenta in acest caz, te rog sa imi furnizezi site-ul tau sa pot inspecta si sa pot sa iti dau alte detalii mai precize, daca este cazul.
Multumesc petnru intelegere si mult spor in proiectul tau!
O zi faina in continuare!
Hello AndrewAAE,
Also, please notice that each block uses a specific thumb which crops the each featured image from your posts.
Please take a look over the below explanation and try to understand a bit how it works the thumbs in the theme. Please check here ->>
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate. For more information about these kinds of plugins, please consult their documentation here -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ Also, please ensure that the functionalities of these plugins are not affected by the other untested plugins that could create interference through the theme. Please notice that these types of plugins are not tested with our theme and we cannot provide support for the theme. We recommend them because a lot of our customer uses and they were satisfied to their functionality.
A basic example you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/rhIdwe22d2
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello mrx,
Please notice that the placeholder is just one but you have seen more of these because our theme uses a lot of thumbs dimensions and that’s why if you want to change the placeholder image and you will have to do it using all these sizes. Depending on what type of Blocks/modules you are using, you can set what type of placeholder image to change. As you can see, your desired images for placeholder should be replaced here -> http://screencast.com/t/4HXJfczwk and here -> you will see all the sizes for our images which are used according to what blocks/modules is used by you -> http://screencast.com/t/dGkStpiXS
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The theme doesn’t interfere with page indexing, please check your robots.txt to see if you have rules that block certain pages(articles). Also check your plugins, if you have a firewall plugin or something that may interfere with page indexing, modify it’s settings or look for an alternative.
Thanks.
Hi.
I added these lines to custom CSS:
.td-header-style-5 .td-header-menu {
width: 410px
}
.sub-menu {
width: 410px
}
.sub-menu-columns ul.sub-menu li {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
}
.sub-menu-columns ul.sub-menu li:nth-child(odd) {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.sub-menu-columns ul.sub-menu li:nth-child(even) {
float: right;
}
It works fine on the mobile, splitting the sub-menus in two columns. However in the PC nothing happens. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
Now the content is not and html or php code, this is not something i know..

WTF is this?
thanks 🙂
Thank you for the replying.
But what I am talking about is for the Block setting in the front page.
Question 1:
I want to make ALL title of block 17 and block 9 be forced one row, not only for certain items


Question 2:
I would like to make the bullet icon on the Block 17 and Block 9 ONLY.

Andrei,
Where are you located exactly? We have some countries blocked to our server so you may be getting redirected due to our security settings.
In the meantime, I’ll try your recommendation during the evening hours and see if I’m able to narrow down what’s going on. I’ll report back soon with what I find.
Thanks,
Jerrad
Hi
I would like to remove the “Read More” button on Block 13 and 20 (cannot decide which one of them to use). I believe the possibility to klick the title to get to the blog post fullfills my need, I do not need an extra button.
I am not a html developer but I usually manage to do code changes having clear instructions.
Thanks from Lena.
Salut tagdiv,
am preluat un site WP de la un developer, folosim tema Newspaper.
As avea nevoie de ajutor cu urmatorul task : vreau sa modific pagina unei categorii (adica pagina in care se afiseaza posturile din categoria respectiva) si sa adaug acolo un bloc/modul care apare pe homepage.
Cum pot face asta ?
2. Incerc sa adaug intr-o pagina un bloc custom, dar in popup-ul “Block Settings”, tabul Filter, nu gasesc campul “Post IDs”. Nu exista in tema Newspaper oare ?
Ce nu inteleg este de ce in pagina mea se afiseaza alte date decit cele de pe homepage (cu toate ca e acelasi bloc!).
Puteti sa-mi spuneti de unde se ia continutul afisat intr-un bloc daca nu selectez nimic in ‘Block settings’ ?
Multumesc
Hello,
I need to use Baby blog demo for my site but I need black color of the site.
When I changed background color it not change all blocks of the site to black color.
Text area and other blocks of website still white.
Can you please tell me what I have to change to use black color within text and other areas of the website?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Nick
Hello Catalin,
Thanks for your reply. Ok, i can see the thumbnail sizes in the theme options, But i still didn’t get it.
1) For example, i can see the thumb size (100×70) is used for: Module 6,7 and Block 1, 2, 7, 8, 16
– What does module 6, 7 refers to? Is it in the prebuilt demos?
2) On my home page, i’m using one of the pre-built demos.. and in the visual composer editor, i can see “Big Grid 7”, as shown here: https://s31.postimg.org/uldmsstwr/Visual_composer.jpg
– Does the Block 7 in the theme options refers to the Big Grid 7 in Visual composer?!
3) The image i’ve uploaded earlier as a featured image was 504 Ă— 544 (which is a large image, however it wasn’t showing right as shown here): https://s32.postimg.org/bdub5yp79/image_resize.jpg
So, my other question is: What is the recommended image size for featured images to show correctly on homepage? without having the need to regenerate thumbnails?
Thanks for your help & patience
The homepage is http://192.185.150.175/~bmctest/
We have added a block just below the graph of bmc elections 2012 results
We have added the block which shows 6 sections
However, we have added 6 post ids in that but it is retrieving only 5 of them
Can you advise why is that so?
Hi,
The custom CSS worked. Thank you so much. I want to remove the two posts too (VINCI JV wins contract & Titan Cement buys – from your screenshot). They seem to be linked to the “latest” tag but I’m not able to find the block to delete.
I will recreate the other issue I was referring to, with screenshots and get back to you.
Regards.
Hello mrx,
You can try to use a bit of CSS to align the post title which has not featured image set. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td_block_related_posts .td_module_no_thumb {
margin-top:50px;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/tt6FMz1o
Or another alternative for you, which we recommend you, would be to activate the placeholder from your Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/wYg94QHfCijM and then, each post which does not have a featured image will display the default image for this case, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/4HXJfczwk
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello Kent,
As I can explain you above, the read more button do not work at our post templates only for Blocks and Excerpts. If you want to develop this option in our theme and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks.
