Hello,
This depends on what element you use to show articles. If you use a standard block you can change the categories shown from block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ This affects the mobile version as well. If you use the mobile theme, then you cannot select specific categories for the homepage as he mobile theme uses a latest articles section that displays the latest posts from all categories. At the moment there is no such option for the mobile theme so if you require your mobile site to display the same articles as desktop, then you can disable the mobile theme plugin. https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you!
Hello,
It seems the page title is hidden by the css so it can be shown again by using this cusotm code in the theme panel->custom css box:
.woocommerce .page-title{
display: block!important;
}
But I could not find any description. How did you add the header and description. if you added them with custom code in the theme files, then upon updating, your custom modifications are lost if you do not back-up.
please provide more details to how you implemented the description so I can understand better how to help.
Thank you!
Hi,
The world news is a youtube video playlist. The videos shown here can be changed in the block settings: http://screencast.com/t/utSSzFD9CKu
Thank you!
Hi
1. Trending now block does not display anything because you don’t have any posts published on your site: http://screencast.com/t/Jlww78orWFq You have to publish some posts in order to have something displayed in trending now: http://screencast.com/t/rSdMwqbXgS
You can also display pages in trending now block, just add the post type in block’s settings: http://screencast.com/t/0RHexujY1DO
2. Above explanation also applies for big grid block.
3. Popular posts displays most viewed posts from entire site and Popular categories displays the categories which contain most posts.
WordPress have two types of homepage:
– blog which always displays latest articles: http://screencast.com/t/qJHnQYjA
– static page which always displays a static content. If you use Newspaper theme the static page can be set using Visual Composer plugin.
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
I was testing a ‘Popular Now’ block to simply display 5 posts using ‘sort last 7 days’ from all categories. Nothing fancy.
— Yes, Theme Panel -> Block Settings -> 7 days post sorting is Enabled
— Yes, Theme Panel -> Post Settings -> Ajax post view count is Enabled
Yet the block renders empty, as per last block bottom right here: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/impact-journalism-day-2016/
HI
To increase the font size for text in smart-lists use this css:
.td_smart_list_8 .td-sml-description p {
font-size: 15px;
}
This code will work only for smart list 8 but you can use it fro other lists, just adjust the class with smart-list’s number.
I am not sure what you mean by Back and Next more prominent so please provide more specific detail about what you’re trying to do so I can inspect it closer and ge bck to you with a more specific answer.
Smart-lists were not intent to display article to ad bu you can achieve that by editing the file which generate each of theme and add this code here: http://screencast.com/t/uSLAiBwXmL
$buffy .= td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_block_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'content_top'));
The above example is for smart list 8 but you can do it for each smart list, just edit the corresponding file. For example the required file for smart list 5 is td_smart_list_5.php
Thanks!
HI
1. Unfortunately whether widget cannot be translated for the moment, however I’ve added this on our todo list and we will consider it for future updates.
2. Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css:
.td_block_weather .block-title{
display: none;
}
Thanks!
They default to black but I’d like to change them to match my site’s colors.
Thanks!

Just to add…
I tried disabling and deleting Visual Composer, reinstalling using the theme, reinstalling using the zip file in the theme folder, clearing the cache and nothing works.
The best I could get was to see the blocks on the page design page, but all it says, for example, is “Block 18”, but when I hover over it there are no options to clone, edit, delete etc…
Este vorba despre site-ul androidblogger.eu. Pur și simplu nu-mi arată nimic în Visual composer, în Classic Mode îmi arată acele shortcodes de genul vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_5 td_grid_style=”td-grid-style-5″ category_id=”16″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
Când intru în Visual Composer nu mis e afișează nimic. An nevoie neapărat să pot modifica acel homepage. Am dezactivat și pluginul de security, am dezactivat-activat Visual Composer, nimic nu-l face să revină. Aveți o imagine mai jos.
Mulțumesc, Alex Ciocan
Hi,
Sorry if this has been answered already somewhere, I could not find it while searching.
I just installed Newspaper7 into my WP and when i try to create a page using Visual Composer, I am unable to see the theme blocks.
I click on Add Element and am presented with a screen containing these tabs:
All, Content, Social, Structure, WordPress Widgets, Depreciated. But no Blocks.
I tested the theme on my home server before porting it to my live server and it was all ok. But now for some reason the blocks are gone.
Please help!
my site is justfreshkix.com
i recently updated the theme and now the hover on the MAIN MENU when using a dropdown is not working, where the background would turn black and text white on hover but now it does nothing. also, i would like to know how to make all of the article titles turn red on hover on the homepage and category pages.
and lastly, i would like to take out the dates for the articles part of the two sidebar blocks seen on my homepage http://justfreshkix.com/
thanks!
Hi
To achieve that you have to edit td_block_related_posts.php and comment this line: http://screencast.com/t/msLrHZzisF – http://screencast.com/t/bgJcGbgcw
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
We always try to improve our theme but the elements you described are not part of the standard visual composer repository so we cannot add extra vc elements. What we can add are theme specific elements. We try on every major update to bring new features and block elements so this is the general plan 🙂 Unfortunately this process is not easy and it takes time.
Thank you!
Hi
I assume that you want to display in blocks last edited/updated posts. Unfortunately the theme does not have a filter which sort posts by modified date, sorry.
If this is not what you mean please provide more detail about what you’re trying to do so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
The new design tab introduced in the block editor in Newspaper 7.2 seems not to work correctly:
On my pages i use only Block 18 and i tried to add a border with the new tab but nothing is saved.
All the other tabs seems to work (I changed the block name and color and these options were saved)

Hi,
Right now all the post are ordered by “latest”. Where can I go and change so whenever I update any post it will stay on top of the list from that block?
Thank you

Hi
The settings from theme panel > categories section won’t affect your homepage, they are applied exclusively for category pages. For more detail in this regard please check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
The homepage can be customized using Visual Composer page-builder. Please check our documentation for more details about this process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance on this please provide your site url and more specific detail about what you’re trying to do so we can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!

Sorry for my question in Newsmag forum: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/authors-boxwidgets-how-to-limit-the-authors-list/
I ask the question here.
Hi @Andrei L.
Note that by editing the indicated file author box will display only three authors on entire site.
1. How to change the code if I want to display ten (Top-10) authors (authors by post count)?
2. This file td_block_authors.php can i use in Child Theme?
Sorry for my poor English.
Thanks!
Hello,
If you use the mobile theme, the content from pages, footer and others will revert back to default as the mobile theme does not use visual composer, thus no blocks or widgets can be used. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you!
