Hi,
I have some trouble with creating custom sidebars.
I choose “Create a new sidebar”, give it a name, for example SidebarX. Then I go to the widget section and drag the elements I need under SidebarX.
After saving, it works perfectly. But if I set up a new Page with another sidebar, SidebarY, SidebarX is empty. In the widget section all the blocks are gone.
By creating a new custom sidebar, the sidebars created before lose their widgets. By loading the pages, the sidebars are still shown correctly. But I cannot make any changes afterwards. I need to set a new sidebar up.
What’s wrong?
Thanks for your support!
Best regards,
Roman
Sorry but do not works again. 🙁
Someone on previous ticket to reach the result to get to ads (left & right) to the logo make me modify the header-style-7.php file in child theme like this.
<!--
Header style 7
-->
<div class="td-header-wrap td-header-container td-header-style-7">
<div class="td-header-row td-header-top-menu">
<?php locate_template('parts/header/top-menu.php', true); ?>
<?php locate_template('parts/header/top-widget.php', true); ?>
</div>
<div class="td-header-row td-header-header">
<div class="td-header-sp-ads-left">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
</div>
<div class="td-header-sp-logo">
<?php locate_template('parts/header/logo.php', true);?>
</div>
<div class="td-header-sp-ads-right">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_2"]'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="td-header-menu-wrap">
<div class="td-header-row td-header-border td-header-main-menu">
<?php locate_template('parts/header/header-menu.php', true);?>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Tryng to put your code
<?php
if (!is_front_page()){
echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_trending_now][/vc_column][/vc_row]');
}
?>
before or after some last tags do not works.
Thanks
Hi!
I changed the hosting environment, moved the site to the latest version of php and apache server and the homepage got messed up. The block titles and the right column does not appear anymore on the front end, although they are present on the back end.

Hello,
The menu on the right of the block title is an ajax filter. It can be added or removed from the ajax filter in block settings: http://screencast.com/t/ReXESPm1Au
Thank you!
Hello szedmaktom,
Please notice that in our theme is optimized only the logo for Retina Display and not the thumbnail images. Also, this effect appears only in mobile mode for module 17. As you can see, the image was cropped to the 696*385 px (as original size) and then, for mobile version this image will be increased with a bit of CSS code, like so -> http://screencast.com/t/1AqsvEEOIMJi and this will lose a bit of quality. So, this is the normal theme behaviour in this case and this was a developer decision to do that. If you do not like this, you will have to change the block/the module. The theme does not have images optimize for Retina logo because in this case it should load 2 different images (one for desktop mode and another one for Retina logo) and this would affect server memory.
Thaks for your understanding!
Hi,
Through widgets I have added few blocks in sidebar, which I want to show at the start of sidebar on page.
I have added numbering to blocks and managed and it was displaying perfectly.
But now,I have created home page using visual composer. so my sidebar moved down to home page. It shows whole template page and at the bottom sidebar appears.
How can I show sidebar from the starting postion? Please guide me here.
What about the main menu borders within the red box i have marked, how do I get the borders around the main menu item and the coloured block showing which page the user is on?

Using BigGrid2 on the home page and suddenly it stopped working. http://patientworthy.com/ We’ve been using this for at least 6 months and haven’t had any issues. Also noticed today that Visual Composer wasn’t working so I downloaded it from the latest version of the Newspaper theme and re-uploaded it. Now it works but the grid still isn’t working properly. Recently upgraded WordPress to 4.5.2. Haven’t updated the Newspaper theme to 7.1.1. Tried to add another BigGrid in preview mode and it didn’t load properly either.
Hi everyone,
I just purchased the Newspaper theme and it looks wonderful!
I have a question about blocks on my homepage such as Block 1. I would really like to use this block, however I was wondering if there’s any way to remove the extra categories and drop down listed to the right of the block title.
If someone could point me to a way to remove these categories from the top right of Block 1 that would be amazing!
Thanks!
Hi, I’m having the same issue on my website. Everything is updated via FTP to the latest version but I can’t see the visual composer editor to edit my home page blocks. Any updates on this?
Hi
You have to edit the file corresponding with header style used and add this code: http://screencast.com/t/u0c4ifVa66Xo
<?php
if (!is_front_page()){
echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_trending_now][/vc_column][/vc_row]');
}
?>
Thanks!
Thanks Bogdan!
I still have problems identifying the modules to make changes.
I’m trying to find the element the controls Sports News and Recipes (in the demo NewsMag) by trial and error. In the block settings, which module would that be?
Thank you.
As a simple explanation, a module is the base element in our site. A module in it’s standard form is used on category templates, search templates or other templates. Modules can be selected like so: http://screencast.com/t/wT4Gy4Zvs
A block is simply a container for one or more modules: http://screencast.com/t/yne0F4LnJ
You can see where each module is used in this menu: http://screencast.com/t/RmH9Rp0XC8
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please follow each step carefully from the guide you posted and leave speedbooster last. If everything is set except for render-blocking css and js, then activate speedbooster from the theme package you download from envato and follow this guide to learn about it’s compatibility function: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m trying to adjust the excerpt length but the problem is I’m not sure which module is which. How do you identify each module to the corresponding modules seen on the website.
For example: Module 1 TD BLock 3. Which module would that be?
Thank you.
Hi,
I installed the “Tech News” demo.
There is a “star rating” to see under some posts. I installed the plugin “WP Review”, because I thought, it would be the one used on “Newspaper”.
But it doesn’t work. There is the star rating under my posts now, but in the blocks i created with visual composer, there are no stars to see.
How did you make it?
Thanks for your support.
Best regards,
Rome
Hi , thanks for your quick reply, kindly i want to put it under Block-text but only for this page
Hello imambudianto5,
I have watched the video tutorial which you gave me. So, here is talking about the Front End Editor option. Unfortunately, our theme does not work fine with Frontend editor and our developers have decided to exclude it from the theme. You can enable the Visual Composer frontend editor by removing this code from theme’s functions – http://screencast.com/t/1N4LB7WhP2jR but unfortunately, will not work properly if you have tag div blocks on the page. Also, please keep in mind that our theme does not have such an option for landing page and it is not supported, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
1) The head tag can be found in header.php in the main root folder of the theme. I cannot provide any recomendation on hgow to implement the code. It has to be implemented exactly as the instructions for it say. Usually you add the code in between the head tags.
2) The heading title tags are a full on debate. We decided to add them as a h3 so the user can add h1 and h2 tags inside the content itself. They should be what you want them to be. There is no standard on what item should have what tag. You simply need to have the tags present. This however is veeery debatable. Lots of people have different opinions on this. If you want to change the h3 tags to h2 in the theme’s modules and blocks, you can find the code here: http://screencast.com/t/7CBn5Fe4oQc You can read more on title tags here:
https://yoast.com/headings-use/
You can find many more online resources on this topic so it remains for you to decide if this is the best way to go about it.
3)You need to test a post, not the homepage. Here is an example of what the schema tool picks up on our demo: https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool?url#url=http%3A%2F%2Fdemo.tagdiv.com%2Fnewspaper%2Fwordpress-news-magazine-charts-the-most-fashionable-new-york-couples-in-2016%2F
Thank you!
Hello Alicante Today,
Please notice that this is talking about excerpts. If you want to increase this length, you will have to check your Theme panel->Excerpts and from there you will have to increase the excerpts for the certain module if it used for your blocks, like so -> http://screencast.com/t/tt7d2Gj1ApW6 For more information about this feature, please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
Thanks.
Salut valeriu2,
Am inspectat site-ul tau si am vazut ca imaginile nu sunt taiate corespunzator pentru bloc-ul 7 ce il folosesti in josul paginii (pentru telefoane). Dimensiunea la care sunt taiate imaginile sunt corecte (100*70 px) insa nu este corect systemul de cropare. Dupa cum se poate observa, tema noastra foloseste un sistem de cropare care taie imaginea de la centru spre top (from center to top cropping system) dar la tine se pare ca imaginea este decupata de la centru spre josul ei, ceea ce nu este corect. Suspectez aceasta problema ca provine din cauza plugin-urilor pe care le folosesti si nu sunt testate cu tema noastra. Am rugamintea sa dezinstalezi toate plugin-urile active, sa lasi doar Visual Composer activ, sa golesti toata memoria cache, fisierele CDN daca folosesti CDN system si apoi sa instalezi doar plugin-urile care vin la pachet cu tema noastra pentru a exclude conflictele care pot aparea in tema. Deasemenea, daca ai customizari suplimentare ce ar putea afecta acest aspect, te rog sa le stergi si sa testezi tema fara ele. Dupa cum se poate observa pe demo-ul nostru, pentru blocul 7 (ce foloseste modulul 6) imaginile caracteristice sunt taiate corect -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-7/ Incearca sa aduci tema la un stadiu cat mia initial si sa testezi cum functioneaza.
Multumesc pentru intelegere.
O zi frumoasa in continuare!
good morning
