Hello Arafat,
Please try the code below and replace it with the oldest one ->
.comments .block-title {
border-color: red!important;
}
.comments .block-title > span {
background-color: red!important;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/8U0pLUPHQ
Thanks.
I have a ‘Block’ where the main filter is set to a category. The ajax dropdown is an array of ID’s of other categories. What I would like the ajax menu to do is: show articles from the chosen category which are ALSO in the main category. So, an ‘AND’ statement. How can I make this work?
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme will not upscale your images. It only crops them. You need to upload images bigger than the containers on the homepage if you want them to display properly. There is another issue on your end though. Your site does not use thumbnails for images. you nned to make sure your thumbs are set for the blocks that you use on your site: http://screencast.com/t/yYYqdI8O And then use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
As for the image sizes, there is no ideal image size I can recommend. You will have to asses the containers and thumbs you plan on using on your site and the post templates as well. if you use post templates that use the full size images like: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/ then a full had image is required. If not, you need to inspect every element especially on the homepage. If you use big grids, your images must be at least the size of the big grid container otherwise they will not fit inside and not display properly. Here is a list of all thumbs used in our theme:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
also:

Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately the ad block does not have options to switch ads based on the device used. You can use css to hide the desktop ad on mobile and vice-versa but this will not work properly for adsense. On custom ads it has no impact. You can use a custom class on the row that contains the ad so you can target it with css. and then after you have classes for both ad blocks, you can use css like so:
.mycustomclass_1 .td-a-rec{
display: none!important;
}
add this code in the mobiles section of the advanced css box: http://screencast.com/t/ZSXr3qOUlKbh
and
.mycustomclass_2 .td-a-rec{
display: none!important;
}
and add this in the desktop section.
PS, you need you change the classes in the code to the ones you add to your rows.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello Pedro,
First of all, I want to thank you for your kind words and also, I am glad that I see that our clients are very excited, satisfied and happy with our theme.
For your first request, if you are using the https URL, please try to follow the next steps for your Translations. Try to load your desired translation from panel and then you can see in left corner of your browser, an icon with a shield and then try to Load unsafe scripts, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/aLm2aAFv5
Also, if your problem is still there, please try to translate manually your strings from the theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/s6bfE5NI6t
For your second request, I have checked your website I saw that you News Sticker block it is not set properly and that’s why it does not show anything. Please try to check the News Ticker Settings and check the settings to be some valid settings in order to display something. -> http://screencast.com/t/CCiZqDWSEtb Try to clear all your caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The author box element was designed to work as a list, so there is no easy way of making it accross the whole content. you can however use 2 author blocks on a split row so you have 2 columns of authors. You will have to filter the authors for both blocks so you do not have duplication.
For the author thumbs you can use this css to make avatars round:
.td_top_authors img{
border-radius:35px!important
}
Note that the author avatars can be circles as the problem you mentioned comes from the aspect ratio. If an image is ‘wide’ and not square, you cannot make it a circle. if you want to have circles on your homepage, please use a block that uses square images like block 21 for example: http://screencast.com/t/TPI0J2hIbEOh
You can make a square round but not a rectangle.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
If you want to create new blocks in our theme you will have to use the theme api. Please follow this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
Thank you!
Sharing this issue with you, to make you aware, and perhaps there is a fix?
When I try to save a Page that uses Visual Composer shortcodes, I get error:
“Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_block.php:149) in …/public_html/wp-admin/post.php on line 197
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at …/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_block.php:149) in …/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171”
I have discovered that if I open this file:
/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_block.php
and comment out this line:
// echo the default style of the block
// disable this line fixes page save echo $this->block_template()->get_css();
return '';
}
.. then I able to save VC pages without error.
I wonder if anyone else has this error? Or perhaps something unique to my environment. Anyway glad I am able to fix this way, for now. Thanks!
Any idea where these strange borders are coming from?
I already double-checked the VC row and text blocks.

Hi.
The blocks of ads are very useful but I would like to be able to duplicate them to have a version for mobile and other one for desktop.
Now I can exclude but I don’t know how to do, for example, a type of advertisement in mobile and other different in desktop.
Can we duplicate or create new blocks of ads?
Hello,
I would like to create a new block, copy of ie td_module_mx16, so that I can make a customization and use it at a specific page only. How can I do that? Simply copy the php file?
Thank you!
Hello,
If you want this to be a block on the homepage, you can simply use css to do it like for example if I would like to change the images on a block 7:
You would add this css in the theme panel->custom css box:
.td_block_7 .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb{
border-radius: 35px;
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/u7xwCePWPiV3
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
is there a way to hide the hidden category from block tags also?
Thanks!
You mean the yellow paragraph tab at the top left corner of a row, where there are 11 display options, 12 if you include the custom option.
Where does it say in your documentation that only 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 will work? Prior to this upgrade the images displayed OK so something changed it.
Update.
After using the “custom” option and setting it to 1/3 + 2/3 for the lower block 12 we have got the images to display correctly again. https://www.iisnet-networks.com/

Hi
The spans are main containers used to create a specific layout. The correct layouts for blocks are 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3: http://screencast.com/t/ORfVvIOt Each block displayed with this layouts will have the correct layout.
Thanks!
Hi,
The post views were not designed to work on modules and blocks, but you can follow this topic to see how you can edit the theme files and code the views in:

Thank you!
Hello,
I have some problem with the BIG Grid block, as you can see from here http://prntscr.com/bdt33t some of the images are shifting at the bottom is seems size problem? what do you think?
Best,
Fabio
Hello,
Thank you for your appreciation.
1) You can use this css code to remove the top padding:
.home .td-main-page-wrap{
padding-top: 10px!important;
}
add the code in the theme panel->custom css box/
2) I’m not sure exactly how you want to separate the search. You can add a few css effects to the icon if you like for example:
.td-icon-search{
border: 1px solid lightgrey;
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/a7wW2VCAI
or maybe
.td-icon-search{
border-left: 1px solid lightgrey;
}
http://screencast.com/t/0QWMWxawIoe
3) Optin forms are added with plugins so I;m not sure exactly how you want the form. The details are pretty vague. You already have a full width slider from revolution slider plugin so you only need a form and content below the slider. For this you can use visual composer:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please explain further. What is span3 and span9 ? If you mean the block sizes/display the first block 12 is using the 2/3 + 1/3 option which is working OK, and the block not showing the images/links correctly is also block 12 with the 1/4 +3/4 size.
Deleting and reinserting the blocks in VC solved the issue.
Hi
I’ve double-checked the site and noticed that you’re using span3+span9 to built this row: http://screencast.com/t/iEbGIfMjDS
Theme’s blocks where designed to work with span4, span8 and span 12. Try to use these layouts from VC and the blocks will be displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/ORfVvIOt
Thanks!
Hi,
In my admin post edit there is no that field caled excerpt: http://screencast.com/t/4wtMWvgwx
Is it even possible to disable excerpt for certain categories and blocks so that I don’t have to replace with any text but want just the video to appear.
Hi,
This solution will not work in the current version of the theme unfortunately. This topic is almost 3 years old.
If you want to remove the youtube link, in newspaper 6+ there is a manual excerpt field in post edit. In this field you can add your excerpt and this one will be shown on blocks, not the automatic one: http://screencast.com/t/wZLrGP1Dcmcr
Thank you!
Hi,
When you use speedbooster, the cascadin css will show up as the style.css is moved to the bottom of the file so it;s loaded after the content. If you want to remove the black default menu color, you have to change it directly in style.css so it will not be re-written.
As for the speedbooster plugin, that is why it is only compatible with certain plugins as it can’t move all of the render blocksing from all of your plugins. FOr this you have to try and change priority for speedbooster like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/help-in-using-speedboost/
Try to also disable your plugins and check with gtmetrix again as some plugins can slow down your site considerably to the extent that the plugin causes more damage than the effectiveness of it’s features.
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using a span3 + span9 in a row. Theme’s blocks were designed to work on span4, span8 and span12. You have to use a these layouts from VC so the blocks to be displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/ORfVvIOt
Thanks!
