Hi,
Sorry, but what do mean by “unless you create blocks”?
If I add content in the classic format, will the featured image be visible?
I can’t use only blocks on my website.
Thank you again
Hi,
Google does not recommend deleting anything. It only states to eliminate render-blocking javascript and css. That means moving the js and css rendering to the footer after the rest of the site is loaded. This can be done with the tagdiv speedbooster plugin that comes with the theme. Please read this topic to improve page speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Please also follow this topic for more information on speedbooster and to learn about it;s compatibility: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
Thank you!
Hi,
The overlapping bubles are supposed to be that way as you can see on our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/ It;s your post name that does not have any spacing after it. You maybe have a css that afects it and makes it display that way. You can eithr find the css that causes it, or you can use this code for a quick fix:
.td_block_slide .td-post-author-name{
padding-right:5px!important;
}
Thanks.
Hi,
The featured images can be added for pages like so: http://screencast.com/t/Ycbnwyaamt but the image will not be visible anywhere unless you create blocks on your homepage and set them to show pages. That is why the featured image is there fore, so the blocks can show you an image if you filter pages inside them instead of posts, but this image will not be visible on the page itself.
Thank you!
Hello zanesavage,
I am glad that you have solved your problem in this regard. I am aware that exists a lot of methods to eliminate your render blocking but please notice that through using the speed booster is our recommended way in this regard.
Please notice that the speed booster is an optional plugin and it is tested only with these plugins – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2 and if you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled. A lot of people install the plugin without knowing what it does and after that they add many plugins and some of the them are not written fine so the developer took this decision. If you want to always enable speed booster, delete this code from speed booster file: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
Also, please notice that our speed booster was been tested with entire theme and work as expected. Please check other untested plugins because these can interact with the theme and can cause a lot of unknown issues.
For more information about speed optimisation, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
1) You can hide the post title with a css code like so:
.single .entry-title{
display:none!important;
}
2) The block size is fixed and is set here: http://screencast.com/t/68xOeiT3hvQf
If you wan to change this thumbnail, you can either chose another one from this list: http://screencast.com/t/691iCWyqiXBH and change it in the module or use the theme api and create your very own thumbnail like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbadd/.
Make sure you regenerate thumbnails after any change made to them
3) Please provide more details so I can better understand how to help.
Thanks.
Hi,
For the front-page, you can use visual composer and a 3 column layout like so: http://screencast.com/t/bXfOAB3ALB
The logo is a big image so a header style that uses the full logo is the best choice (9, 10 or 11)
The stretched grid does not seem to position properly for the site as the content is stretched. You can use revolution slider to create a full width slider below the menu like in this demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_blog_travel/ (the slider is already included in the theme archive under demo sliders) or you can use one of the big grids: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-9/
The rest are simply a selection of block elements on the homepage.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
As i have shown in my previous reply, the event must be added in the post type field here: http://screencast.com/t/4JN17udai but for this to work you need the exact post type name given by the plugin.
You said you use geodirectory, but this does not create an event post type but rather ‘places’. We have not tested this p-lugin so i cannot provide a precise solution to your problem. Here is an example of a custom post type filtered in blocks: http://screencast.com/t/kUTOnBfV5i
Please use the same method for your plugin.
Thank you!
Hello alpsbox,
Please notice that you will have to alter the code from the modules which are used in your Blocks on the homepage. For example, if you are using the Block 3, please notice that this is using the module 1 and you will have to alter the code in td_module_1.php, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ZQJTCB1zS For more information about blocks and modules used in the theme, please check here -> http://screencast.com/t/t872TIWrCtR
If you want to change the color for your post title on the homepage, please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.home h3 > a {
color:blue;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/1GXUrd4M
For your second request, please try the code below.
The code is ->
header .td-post-views{
float:left;
}
header .td-post-comments {
float: left;
margin-right:20px!important
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/MCNlaCxnoH7
Thanks.
Hi
That change involve changing block’s style and unfortunately I can’t provide a solution for it. You can try to edit the file corresponding with block used. Here it’s an example for block 1: http://screencast.com/t/X4ejxXc3qba1 Also you will need this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/vqftoql6
.td_block_wrap .td-next-prev-wrap{
float: right;
margin-right: 15px
}
Thanks!
Hi
Theme’s grids weren’t designed to have a title however you can try a similar implementation as for normal blocks. Basically you have to edit the file corresponding with each grid and implement a the block title functionality there: http://screencast.com/t/853pYgYv8gG –
You also have to edit the grid’s parameters sent in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/CcWmOl5Prh5u
Thanks!
Hi,
If you want to reduce the space for mobile, you can use this css:
@media(max-width:767px){
.td_block_big_grid_1, .td_block_big_grid_2, .td_block_big_grid_3, .td_block_big_grid_4, .td_block_big_grid_5, .td_block_big_grid_6, .td_block_big_grid_7, .td_block_big_grid_8, .td_block_big_grid_9, .td_block_big_grid_10, .td_block_big_grid_11, .td_block_big_grid_12{
padding-bottom: 10px!important;
}}
As for the the second request, our theme doe snot have any options on the front-end for user profiles. You can try out a plugin like buddypress
Thank you!
Hi
Basically you have to get the post id into a variable using then include it in block’s shortcocde as I did with category id. Your code could be like this.
<?php
$exclude_current_post = $td_mod_single->post->ID;
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_13 post_ids="'. -$exclude_current_post .'"]');
?>
Thanks!

Hi,
The pages are not able to render the featured image and also pages cannot display as posts. They are 2 very different things. A post is customized from the post settings by selecting a predefined post template, but pages can be edited in visual composer so you have access to lots of elements that posts cannot display like blocks, big-grids, sliders and all visual composer elements.

Hello.
Can you help me to replace pagination next-prev ajax button in other place (example attached) (block 5)
I know this is a topic that gets brought up quite a bit, as I have gone through dozens of questions in on this site.
I have tried speed booster, but unfortunately there are a few plugins that I require (that won’t work with speedboost), and even though you have some options to bypass those plugins (at my risk), which I did, none of those plugins worked after; in fact speed boost didn’t work at that point.
Long story short. is there any other option besides Speedboost to eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content?
here is a pic from pagespeed: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1sPzMby0YKjOU9YRzM1NVNqem8/view?usp=sharing

Hello
i want adding title to the big grid, same thing with normal block..
any help?
Thanks Bogdan,
I’ve tried doing as you’ve said on this page at the top of the sidebar (text block component in Visual Composer): http://bestforcats.co.uk/about/
Unfortunately it’s still not displaying, could it be a plugin causing the issue?
Thanks in advance!
I’ve just updated Newspaper to 7.1 and tagDiv Social Counter to 4.0, and social counter shows 0 fans.
Again: I had the same issue a couple of month ago, solved with Newspaper 6.6.5 and td social counter 3.2.
I’ve also deleted the old Facebook App and I’ve created a brand new one, no changes.
Can you please help me? Am I doing something wrong? Please notice that Now I’ve set display:none to td-social-info class.
You can see the problem on http://www.psicopoli.com/ (js composer block) and on all other site pages (widget).
On this site http://www.saporedivaltellina.it (newspaper 6.7.2 and tagDiv Social Counter 3.2) everything works, and I’m waiting before applying the updates.
thanks in advance, Luca Pecchi
Quick follow up:
I’ve managed to edit the code above to show the category I want and customized it appropriately. However, when I duplicate the code to make a second “block,” I only get a header with no posts. Is it written in such a way that it can’t be duplicated? Here is my modified code:
<div class="td-container td-pb-article-list td-main-content" role="main">
<?php if ( empty( $paged ) or $paged < 2 ) { ?>
<h4 class="block-title"><span>IndyCar</span></h4>
<?php }
// query used on Latest Articles section
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'paged' => $paged,
'category_name' => 'indycar'
);
query_posts($wp_query_args);
locate_template('loop.php', true);
wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>
<div class="td-container td-pb-article-list td-main-content" role="main">
<?php if ( empty( $paged ) or $paged < 2 ) { ?>
<h4 class="block-title"><span>Sports Car</span></h4>
<?php }
// query used on Latest Articles section
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'paged' => $paged,
'category_name' => 'sportscar'
);
query_posts($wp_query_args);
locate_template('loop.php', true);
wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>
Thank you.
Thank you so much for the response. I’d like to change the sorting of the grid to recent, so this helps. I’d also like to replace the recent list of articles under that with blocks for specific sections like those that are found on the main theme. Is there a way to edit the code to accomplish this as well?
Example:
<div class="td-container td-pb-article-list td-main-content" role="main">
<?php if ( empty( $paged ) or $paged < 2 ) { ?>
<h4 class="block-title"><span><?php echo $td_list_custom_title; ?></span></h4>
<?php }
$posts_per_page = get_query_var('posts_per_page') ? get_query_var('posts_per_page') : 10;
// query used on Latest Articles section
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
);
query_posts($wp_query_args);
locate_template('loop.php', true);
echo td_page_generator_mob::get_pagination();
wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>
Example: could I take the above code and limit the query to a single category? And, repeat the code several more times to create additional blocks?
Thanks again.
Hi
Lucin replied you via mail regarding the issue with facebook.
2. I’ve noticed that you have the mobile theme active so you have to place the ad code in mobile ad-spots in order to be displayed on mobile devices.
3 I’ve checked your site with google page-speed toll and noticed that you have some render-blocking resources which can be moved in footer by using Speed Booster plugin. Also you can optimize the images using gzip compression as it’ indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
4. Please make sure that you’re using last plugin’s version included in theme’s path, V 4.0 clear the cache memory then test again. We will also update the plugin on our demo in shortest time.
Wp Super cache it’s tested and works fine with the theme following the configuration indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thanks!
Hi,
If you want to get a post list and the id’s, you can use this function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts
You will require a bit of coding knowledge though.
As for the cpt, you need to add the post type for the block here: http://screencast.com/t/4JN17udai
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
please disable all plugins excepot visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the images again. If they are not back to their proper resolution, you may have to regenerate the thumbs: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Image optimization tools usually create this issue but other plugins can cause it as well.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
