Hi,
is there a possibility to use the visual composer and the post blocks also for posts?
We would like to show a list of posts of a certain category and tag below some posts.
Thank you
Klaus
Hi
The colors for block title can be changed from Visual Composer page-builder for each block: http://screencast.com/t/YrOrQeqwEQAO – http://screencast.com/t/SjiJJSZE6Hd
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
I sometime use Safari (latest version) and I am seeing several errors with Google Ads. I’m not sure if this is something wrong with the News Paper Theme, WordPress or Google Ads. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I only see these errors when using Safari. Everything works fine with Chrome or FireFox. This happens on any page with ads. My url is https://www.notsopublic.com
Below highlights an example error.

Hello zumaxb,
Please check our demo preview here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ and there you will be able to preview all of these blocks and you can identify yourself which are the differences between them.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
In this block style it seems that a longer author name will make the date overlap the comment count. I see you already disabled it on your end. I added this issue to our bug list and it will be fixed in a future version.
If you want to remove the comment count just for this block, you can do it like so: http://screencast.com/t/rTcgdqQz
Thank you!
Hello lettogsunn,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option for it, but please notice that you can achieve the same design if you will try to use a background image for your side and the with a bit of CSS code you will have to make the td-main-content-wrap container being transparent. For example, please check the following screencast and see the result with the code below -> http://screencast.com/t/cNTbl1QzP3gB
The code is ->
.td-main-content-wrap, .td-category-grid {
background-color: transparent;
}
Please notice that this is an example for home page where it is used blocks and big grids. Also, for your example page, you have a lot of images displayed there and this code does not affect the transparency for images. You will have to build your page using more text than images for having the same effect. Here -> https://k2vitamin.no/bestill-k2-vitamin-na/ is talking about the same process.
Also, if you want to display more levels in our theme and you want to add some additional options through it and you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi Catalin,
I found an example of the boxes, more exactly tabs, on Newspaper Demo. Here is the example, the small boxes in yellow above the block. http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I didn’t find the way to change the colors and to change the look of the boxes
Thank you
Let me rephrase it: What is the difference between Block-1 and Block-2, Block-3, Block-4, Block-5 etc.
Where can I see visual representation of those differences.
I know that you used to have this detailed in your (old?) documentation but I cannot find that now.

Hello zumaxb,
I do not understand exactly what you mean. Please notice that you can use our blocks into your widgets and place them where you want in the theme. From widgets area, indeed, you will see a lot of options and from there you will be able to set up your widget as you wish, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/vgWlgkGsaLF For more information about our sidebars, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/ and there you will find the way where you can use the widgets.
If is not what you mean, please provide more details and also, please be more specific so I can understand exactly what you mean and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello yachtsailingcharter,
Also, we do not recommend increasing or decreasing the width of our Grids because you can break the layout of the theme, as in the case of blocks. Please notice that our theme has a log of Big Grids and you can use them as you wish if you set them as properly. For more information about these features, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-top-post-styles-2/
So, if it not what you mean, please provide more details about your desired changes so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. You can provide some useful screenshot with how you want to achieve so I can understand it better. Also, please keep in mind that we do not recommend to change the width for nor blocks/grids because its has standard sizes and if you will change them you will break the theme.
Thank you for your understanding!
First you should try to use larger images
tagdiv crop the image into different sizes for different blocks
incase if your image is smaller than the image size recommended for a block it will not show a decent picture
but if you have migrated from another theme rebuilding all your images may solve the issue
Install this plugin
AJAX Thumbnail Rebuild
Hi,
This issue is related to your page loading speed and/or the speedbooster plugin. If you use speedbooster or another tool to move render blocking to footer as google page speed suggests, it will also move style.css to footer and this is the effect of that. The style will apply after all elements are loaded. If you know your way around coding, you can remove style.css from the speed-booster files to prevent this happening.
If you do not use speedbooster, please increase your site-s loading times by following this guide:https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and also make sure you have all system status parameters set properly so you do not run out of memory: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
I can only repeat myself, your Newspaper theme is incredibly complete and cleanly coded.
However, during my work I am always surprised that I feel that one particular look for a category is missing, that I feel should be there.
So here is an idea: Why don’t you create a variation of category template 6. I call it 6.a where the image does not cover the whole background, but is only inside/behind
td-category-header td-image-gradient-style8
I think that would be a awesome addition to your theme, a great new look and should be easy for you to get done quickly.
Thank you
Hi,
In the widget settings are dozens of blocks. How can I know what the output of each block looks like.
Thank you
I have checked my “Post Title” font settings and the only one I have set is the default.

I’ve also noticed that in addition to the fonts loading and changing, the colors and other theme elements do as well. For example, we have red links and red backgrounds on our block/widget titles, but when the page first loads, these are all blue before they switch to red.
It seems if the pages are loading a whole different stylesheet before it loads our customizations. Can you assist with this? I don’t have the ability to make a video of this related issue but I will later today if that would help. Thanks.
UPDATE: I have checked my color settings in the Theme Panel and confirmed that no color is set to blue – only red, black, and white. Why is blue showing up at all?
Also, if you look closely at the sidebar in the desktop video above, you can see the widget titles with blue backgrounds for a split second before they turn red.
Oh, sorry, I wasn’t speaking about the blocks, but about the grids.
I don’t have any problems with the block width.
Is there a way to set the grid width?
Thank you
Hello yachtsailingcharter,
Please notice that all the sizes for the blocks are predefined by default and we do not recommend increasing these values because you can damage the layout of the theme. Also, please check your Theme panel->Block settings and there you will find all of these dimensions, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/7IzS7tQX Please notice that each block uses one or more than one module as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/sQ0Zsdc5X2q If you are not are to the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello Jose,
You can try to use Regenerate Thumbnail or Force Regenerate to regenerate your thumbnail. For more information about this theme process, please check the topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/resize-thumbnails-to-proper-size/
Also, you can check your Theme panel->Block settings and there you can see all the size for our thumbs, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/l9ShaspAx
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hi Catalin,
Thank you for the reply:)
Is it possible to change the size of the block from the theme setting? and also, I would like to know where do I find the width of the block?
Thank you
Hi,
Try the code like so:
.td_block_big_grid_7 .entry-title{
background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.31);
}
http://screencast.com/t/bAKGCcmFuz1k
Or if you just want the text shadow, you need to apply it to the a element:
.td_block_big_grid_7 .entry-title a{
text-shadow: 2px 2px 4px rgb(0,0,0)!important;
}
Thanks.
Hello jazarian,
Please notice that all of the settings from this type of block are located here -> http://screencast.com/t/jOxwl7VVgF Also, the trending now sticker is a simple block and it has the same settings as a normal block. For more information about our blocks features, please cheche here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ Please notice that you can exclude your post from a certain category if you want, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/LDNfmPAWPWUP
Thanks.
Hi,
1) Please update the social counter by disabling the one you have now and deleting files and installing the new plugin version which comes with the latest theme version. You must have social counter version 4.0 for it to work properly
2) There is no official soulution for adding new social icons but you can try to replicate this method for adding a new social share option: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-a-linkedin-button/
3) The name of the file must be the same as the one in the main theme. your file is named functions2/.php
4) Same as 3
5) There are lots of plugins not compatible with speedbooster that people use. We have no alternative to provide but there is this workaround: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tinymce-advanced-and-other-various-disabling-speed-boster/
6) The cropping of the featured images is different for all post styles you use. There are a total of 14 post templates to chose from: https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
7) The homepage is the most customizable area of our theme. You chose from a total of 25 content blocks: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ and 12 big grids: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ among other elements.
Please read the documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
8) APC is different from a caching plugin and it is compatible with sp super cache APC is a cache for PHP: http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/what-is/speed-up-php-with-apc
9) Please contact your hosting provider and make sure compression is allowed/enabled from the server side.
10) Those are alternative methods. Use one or the other, not both
11) Speedbooster is for advanced users only. You placed the js inside the style css part. Please read it again and check the screenshots to see where to places css and where to place js blocks.
12) For a smart sidebar please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
13) You can use a redirect to send the user elsewere if he clicks the author name: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/
Thanks
