Hello,
Unfortunately things are not as simple as it looks like. These types of smartlists, even though it seems they are on the same page and could be like a simple post, they are not. Every section of the smartlist is separated from the other. If you place an ad inside the php file by hard-coding, this will be the result: http://screencast.com/t/hKvYLgjo – it will place the ad after each title of the smartlist. This is the way smartlists work. It’s the same if you use a sliding smartlist. ALternatively you can have a single ad on top of the smartlist: http://screencast.com/t/8NU01k2h but there is no way of adding it like an article inline ad after a set paragraph.
Depending on the position you place the shortcode inside the file, here is the code for the first implementation with multiple ads: http://screencast.com/t/pa6xuzfoaMN by using this code:
$buffy .= do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
And here is the implementation for the single ad: http://screencast.com/t/cAVAeD8UVxk by using this code:
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
You can use this method for the other smartlists.
Thank you
Hello aktifje,
Unfortunately, page speed is something you will have to adjust yourself. There is no ‘promised speed’ as this depends on lots of things starting with your server. You need to optimize your site by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
The guide shows exactly the steps needed to remove render block js and CSS. There is no easier way to explain it. Please follow every step closely and keep in mind that speed booster has a compatibility list for plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/incompatible-plugin-detected/
We can’t offer speed customization services at the moment so if you still need guidance on this or you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you. Also, as you can see in our tutorial, these kinds of information are addressed only for ADVANCED USERS.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello tagDiv team,
I hate hate HATE Visual Composer. I deactivated it and my homepage is currently just a Big Grid added by way of a shortcode and the latest posts.
Here’s my question: is it possible to add blocks (filtered by category) on the homepage with shortcodes alone, or does that require Visual Composer?
Thanks!
Thank you but I don’t have enough space in my server. I think I am going to probably wait until the next version of VC and see if it is resolved. But you are right when you said that block 18 was not using its proper thumbnail. I have two b-18 beside each other on the homepage and one image is using 696×385.jpg and the other 673×385.jpg. I don’t understand why this is happening!
Can you give me some css that I could use for this block and see if that fixes the problem I have in my local installation? The problem may be that for whatever reason the two big images of b-18 are using other blocks’ thumbnails. That could perhaps also explain why the whole block moves a bit to the right.
Many thanks.

Hello
I got the same problem on search ,even with with custom images added in the no-thumb folder, template selected in Theme Panel -> Template Setting and Theme Panel -> Categories.
wp booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: thumbnail is not set.
/****/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
It went away after i added the bellow function in td_api.php after
/**
* the thumbs used by the theme
* Thumb id => array parameters. Wp booster only cuts if the option is set from theme panel
*/
and before the other td_api_thumb::add
Not sure is the correct way to fix it but it worked for me
td_api_thumb::add(‘thumbnail’,
array(
‘name’ => ‘thumbnail’,
‘width’ => 150,
‘height’ => 150,
‘crop’ => array(‘center’, ‘top’),
‘post_format_icon_size’ => ‘small’,
‘used_on’ => array(
‘MX2’, ‘Block 18’, ‘Block 19’, ‘Live search’, ‘tagDiv Image Gallery thumbs’
)
)
);

Hello and thank you for the theme.
Excuse me, if somewhere in the forum there was a similar question but I didnt find it.Im making a homepage with viscomposer and want to make that way: when I put my mouse on text link in BLOCK9 it will change color on white.
Also is it possible to change the color of border that separates links from each other in BLOCK9 on black, for example?
Thanks!

Ciao fluturash4,
Multumim pentru interesul acordat temelor noastre. Mai jos am incercat sa explic in cateva cuvinte cae sunt diferentele majore intre aceste doua teme. Am formulat in Engleza deoarece acest forum este accesat de oameni din intreaga lume si poate fi de ajutor si pentru altii sa inteleaga aceste diferente.
We get often this question regarding the differences between our themes. I can tell you that the both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another. Newspaper’s grid width is 1068px while Newsmag’s width is 1021px and the Newsmag’s theme grid has been designed to support the borders you notice between sections of a page: http://screencast.com/t/pNkgzN1Kn8Y5
Other differences are, also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, for example, you could check the Features menu items from each theme live demo and see blocks, modules, post templates… are present in each theme and the design differences ->> http://screencast.com/t/p87JJpieJd
Also, you can check the documentation for each theme to make an idea about panel settings and other features that may not be presented on the live demo(for example header templates) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/ -https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-newsmag-documentation/
The review system is made only for internal use. By this, I mean that only the post’s author can make a review. Also, there is no option to post comments on a review, sorry. The review settings are available for each post individually and you can enable/disable the review for a specific post as you want. Basically, the functionality of review system can be seen on this posts from our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-baby-is-totally-delighted-by-his-first-taste-of-solid-food/ – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-29-ways-to-eat-avocado-for-breakfast/
Multumesc pentru intelegere!
O zi frumoasa in continuare!
Hi,
Please help me on this error:
When I check my site with google insights, there are one error for js_compposer.css.
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aktifje.com%2F
Below is the snippets of the problem:
====================================
Should Fix:
Reduce server response time
Show how to fix
Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
Your page has 1 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.
None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.
Optimize CSS Delivery of the following:

====================================
Apart of that can guide me on the Reduce server response time too?
Hello Bintmusic,
1)Please notice that if you want to follow this method you have to do it manually for each template in accordance with that template used, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/HAQC8eQ05
2)For good results you have to use is_category() condition and not in_cateogry(). For more information about these conditions, please check here -> https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/in_category/ -> https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_category/ Also, another possibility for you would be to edit some core files in order to achieve as you wish, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/xTotByXYDabH -> http://screencast.com/t/mM4MwQzx Please notice that you have to remove for each template and module the get_author function in order to achieve as you wish. Above I gave you an example on how can be done (for posts and modules). Here you can see a list of our modules and blocks -> http://screencast.com/t/6OH9dm6nrp
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
I assume that you’re referring at post’s excerpts: http://screencast.com/t/LZMw9hsHL3 The excerpt’s font can be changed from theme panel > theme fonts > modules and blocks general: http://screencast.com/t/AwJ0R2JB
Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css to hide the logo fro footer: http://screencast.com/t/PMPJzvrZkLsj
.footer-logo-wrap{
display: none!important;
}
Also I’ve noticed that you’re using V 2.3.5 of the theme and the feature images aren’t displayed on the page. Try to update the theme at the current version available on themeforest, V 2.3.6 and also update Visual Composer plugin at V 4.11.2 which is included in theme’s path. Here you can check our documentation for more details regarding the update process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
Hello zeni,
All our thumbs sizes are created in td_config.php, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/6y42V3ZW9Sp If you have some experience in PHP/HTML/CSS you should try to create other thumbs with your desired sizes or you can change one of this. Also, please notice that each block is created with some modules like this -> http://screencast.com/t/DJDc3OU0 and here -> http://screencast.com/t/3RBM3AjEatq you can see what kind of thumbs are used in the theme.
Hope this help!
Thanks.
I do lots of images and banners with the single image block, and I often make those images with full-width and set that block to “stretch row and content (no paddings) setting. But ever since I updated the theme, it shows a slight border/margin/padding on either side.
How can I fix this?
Here’s an example: http://shilpaahuja.com/fashion/looks/indian-engagement-gown-blue-dress-outfit-bridal-hairstyle/ The top image is supposed to be ‘no paddings’, but it does have slight paddings on either side. This is an old post, so it used to display fine before.
Hi,
The code works, but in opposite. The module chosen is excluded from the Unique and the article of that module is published again in other modules/blocks of my page. I would like that the module chosen on the contrary overlook Unique in order to publish the first article of that category/tag in any case.
Well if you want to have content blocks on your homepage, you will have to learn to use visual composer, yes. There is no other way to insert blocks inside a page.
Please read the documentation and experiment with the pagebuilder.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan, thanks
1) To hide post views in posts without use css I comment follow line in single_template_2.php
<div class=”td-module-meta-info”>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?>
<?php //echo $td_mod_single->get_views();?>
2) For leave author only on post, an hide from page and categories blocks
may be I could use a condition in
http://screencast.com/t/XAOzPjVnC
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello,
The ajax filter you are referring to can be found in the block settings and can be customized using the category ID’s: http://screencast.com/t/1kiMPcMuCUuK
You can get the category ID’s like so: http://screencast.com/t/Q2BTMIqhb8Vm
Thank you!

Hi,
This is a strange issue as we have no reports of such problems. We will need to inspect this so we can figure out where the problem comes from. Based on a screenshot there is only so much I can provide. Please try to move your localhost to a sub-domain on your server (http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-move-wordpress-from-local-server-to-live-site/) and then send us login details via email at contact@tagdiv.com so we can login and inspect the block and see why this is happening.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can use this css to do it:
.td_block_9 .td_module_8{
padding-bottom: 0!important;
margin-bottom: 5px!important;
}
Just add the code in the theme panel->custom css box/
Thanks.
Hi,
You can use this css to change the author name on block 7:
.td_block_7 .td-post-author-name a{
color:red!important;
}
However, this will affect all block 7 elements. If you only want to target a particular block, you need to assign an extra class to the row in visual composer and then add the class at the beggining of the code like so:
.mycustomclass .td_block_7 .td-post-author-name a{
color:red!important;
}
Thank you!
Hello,
how or where can we change the colour of the name of the categories in the homepage – in the blocks?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
How do I Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS?
I have followed your tutorial but I never get that list on my Dashboard. I have disabled all other plugins but it doesn’t work.
Can you provide a better tutorial or help me somehow as I have bought the theme for the “promised speed”.
Thank you.
Hi,
I said the problem was happening in my local installation because it is there that I have upgraded to the latest WordPress version, 6.7.1 of the theme and 4.11.2 of visual composer. It doesn’t happen on my website because I haven’t upgraded yet. With reference to my website, I have the thumbnails selected. In fact I have all of them selected, even though I don’t need all of them.
What it is happening on my local installation is that when I install version 4.11.2 of visual composer, block 8 goes all strange: (a) thumbnails don’t fill the container; and (b) the whole block moves to the right. See the attachment at http://screencast.com/t/MrHrYGOo
It cannot be a plugin conflict because I don’t have any, except VC. When I go back to the previous version of VC, block 8 rectifies itself. And all my photos are big as well. So there is a conflict somewhere between the theme and VC.
