Hi,
The theme will pull the thumbnail created for the featured image and in the size specified in the code (not the ones from wordpress settings).
Unfortunately this is how our themes crop images (center-top).
You can find and edit the thumbnails in the upload folder on your server.
However, replacing the thumbnail for every image is not a viable solution. The best thing to do is create a new custom thumbnail for your block as Andrei suggested above. You can use the theme api system shown here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-thumbnail-introduction/
If for some rewson your thumbnails are not displayed corectly, maybe this guide can help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you
Hello
Yes, I understand that offset is used to avoid duplicity. It works great when I don´t filter any category, but when I introduce this category previously mentioned, it removes some posts and that´s exactly what I don´t understand.
As I showed above, I limit 12 posts by overall.
– block 18 (1post limited)
– block 2 (2 posts limited)
– block 2 (2 posts limited)
– block 2 (2 posts limited)* category X filtered
– block 1 (5 posts limited)* category X filtered
On the last two blocks is exactly where something wrong happens.
Thanks
Hello janamtrup,
Please try the following code and place it in Theme panel.
.td_block_9 .td-module-meta-info{
display:none;
}
Thanks.
Salutare Mihaela,
The category tags can be selected for every module in particular from here: http://screencast.com/t/HZJyGkeZvy so you can chose if you want to have a particular block with or without a category tag.
If you want a different tag on your post, then you have to select the primary category for that particular post:

You can read more about category tags here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-tag-on-modulesblocks/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thank You Catalin

I am not sure about the coding for this.
Thank You for Your great help.
Thanks for the reply Andrei.
Here’s the thing – I don’t want to change the code. I want the specified thumb to pull up in each block when needed. I have all these sizes specified and tweaked to look right, but it’s not calling them up when needed.
For example: Here’s the edited thumbnails I have in my media file. All of them set to the specific size and needed to fit into the template as is.
However, when viewing the site, these same thumbnails or edited images are not being called up. Here’s an example of my footer that requires a 100X75 and should pull up td_100x75. Clearly it is not pulling the right thumbnail.
Hello Albert,
The offset is used to avoid the duplicity of the posts and with other words to be unique for your homepage. The number of the posts you can set for each from each block settings, above the offset field, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/mQsT4qmcN For more information about block settings you can find in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ All of these settings are tested and seems to work as expected.
Please try to implement yourself because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, we only can guide you to the right direction.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Unfortunately css cannot do that. Css cannot grab another element’s css. That is done through other means (hard-coding). Unfortunately the theme has no setting to grab the styling of the post title for it’s modules and blocks. you can change the general styling though from the fonts section: http://screencast.com/t/gK0JinUtj
Thank you!
Hi
6,7. Please provide your site url so I can inspect this closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
9. You can use one of theme’s ad-spots to display the ad on top of the page. First insert the html ad’s code in one of custom ad-spots from theme panel > ads then use do_shortcode() function to display a banner ad on top of the page. Just edit the file corresponding with the header style used and add this code like here: http://screencast.com/t/itasx4W4T – http://screencast.com/t/FSgnXBREg3
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
I’ve used custom ad 1 for this example but you can use any custom ad, just adapt the shortcode. For example if you use custom ad 5 the shortcode will be: td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_5″
To insert the banner ad below big grid you can use the ad-box block from visual composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/trJzEe9Ufr – http://screencast.com/t/veASTnq2d
Thanks!
+ customizing the top featured posts
I tried different grids, but those preset one’s doesnt really fit me
I really like the initial 6 blocks, but 6 is actually too much
What should I specify in custom row setting so I have only 3 on top with a main large one on the left and two smaller one’s on top of each other on the right? (see screenshot)
SORRY, FORGET THIS POST! I SOLVED THIS!
Hey, I am trying to insert a custom CSS on Newspaper to embed a mailchimp subscriber form in the site, still in localhost. The code is: http://snag.gy/Nj5jg.jpg. In the first moment everthing worked fine, but I all site now are not showing the images. I deleted the code and still having problems http://snag.gy/GcVd7.jpg .
I lost menu, logo, images in the blocks, just because the code bellow in custom CSS (again):
in {
background: #efefef;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 20px 15px;
text-align: center
}
#optin input {
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
font-size: 15px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding: 8px 10px;
border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: 0 2px 2px #ddd;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 2px 2px #ddd;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 2px 2px #ddd
}
#optin .name { background: #fff url(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/name.png) no-repeat 10px center; padding-left: 35px }
#optin .email { background: #fff url(http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/email.png) no-repeat 10px center; padding-left: 35px }
#optin [type=”submit”] {
background: #f7ed64;
border: 1px solid #fff12e;
color: #fff;
cursor: pointer;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 8px 0;
text-shadow: -1px -1px #495259;
width: 100%
}
#optin input[type=”submit”]:hover { color: #495259 }
The code help the embed code of the mailchimp naked form to be better (aesthetically). How can bring the images, menu, logo back?
This is the second time that I have problems with code. At first time I puutted a facebook developer code for the facebook page pluging and a error was showing, still waiting for your answer about it.
Thanks.
Hello srampia,
If you want to get rid the border-bottom for each block title, you have to use a bit of CSS code. Please try the code below and lace it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.block-title {
border-bottom: 0;
}
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about your desired changes so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hello janamtrup,
Please try the code below and decrease the padding-bottom with a bit of CSS code.
The code is ->
.td_block_9 .block-title {
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/EnYF1nmf8H
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about your desired changes so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. Also, you can provide me more useful screenshots for a good understanding.
Thanks.

Salut Cătălin,
Thank you. No, I wasn’t talking about selecting a template to display search result in but to display my own content (list of contents) in a template provided by the Newspaper theme. Meanwhile I solved my FacetWP issue by using the plugin’s other displaying method, but my question remains open.
Let’s assume I have my own plugin that generates a list of posts and displays that within a content using a shortcode (like a teaser for other contents). Obviously I would like my list to match the look of all the other Newspaper generated lists. Of course I could generate my own html with CSS classes to replicate the selected Block, but it doesn’t seem to be right way to do it. Does the theme provide a function to display a list of posts in a selected Block or Module template (provided by the Newspaper template)?
Best regards,
Tibor
Hi
We would like to thank you for your kind feedback. We do our best to offer high quality themes and also we focus on helping our clients understanding how they works.
All theme’s blocks where designed to use specific thumbs depending by each module’s layout. Our blocks are build from one or more modules. For example block 1 use for first post module 4 and for others posts module 6. Each module have its specific thumb which it’s used when that module it’s displayed on the page. For example module 4 use a thumb by 300x194px: http://screencast.com/t/bnUKk2wKzQk
To change the thumb size for one module it’s required a bit of coding and this are the steps that must be taken:
– define a new thumb size in td_config.php file: http://screencast.com/t/zwQLzpY7QF You can use theme api for that: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbadd/
– edit the file corresponding for the module which you want to modify and change the current thumb size with your custom size: http://screencast.com/t/bnUKk2wKzQk
You will have to be careful at module’s layout after applying this changes because it’s possible to be needed some adjustments in it.
Please consider that this is a complex task which requires lots of customiations and good coding skills in order to be achieved. We can’t offer 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.
Thanks!
Hello Patrick,
You can control the title lengths for every block from the excerpts section: http://screencast.com/t/7BZUN5S3FNiw
The blocks have their own formatting so they will not take the formatting of the post titles. They only grab the post text, but not fonts, formats or colors from the post itself.
Thank you!
Hi,
I am experiencing a strange issue. One of my pages display perfect on desktops and on android devices, but not in apple devices. Some images don’t show, its showing just a small square instead. I have to images added on a text block, one shows, one not. And I have a tag Div Slide Gallery with 21 pics added but i just can see 3 oh them. I really don’t know what to do. Should I rebuild the page from zero or anything to do with iphone cache ?
i appreciate any help. That’s the page http://www.nikityapp.com.br/gastronomia/familia-paludo.html
thanks in advance.
Rodolfo
Спасибо большое за ответы, очень признателен, но у меня все еще есть вопросы:
That helped a little, but now i see another problems appear:
4. My articles are now look like i wanted in fashion theme, but the problem is I have 20 articles on the first page (below the featured) but they repeat each other, so I have 10 latest articles twice on the on the home page.
I would prefer to have 10 latest articles (or 15), but not to repeat each other two times.
Screenshot: http://imgur.com/iFqUpyP
5. I have troubles with right rail – I want to have only my widgets there that were setup before (and worked with every theme I had before), but the trouble is – first at very top of right rail i see widgets like: – social counter (and instead of widget I only see code ), – don’t miss (with very old articles for some reason) and this three widgets stick until I scroll through the first 10 articles (please refer to my previous question as this might be the issue I am facing) and then when I see repeated articles I see my widgets that I want to have in my right rail (also sticked).
I would like to have only my widgets on the right rail (that display ads only), and not to have any other widgets there, also I want them not to be sticky.
5.1 Widgets appear more or less correctly on the post page, but still there’s a problem, the widget at the very top of right rail is the widget that shows video, but instead of appearing where it has to be it appears at the bottom left corner.
6. Thanks for telling me how to move the title, but now I have another issue – the title is too low and there’s a gap between pic and title which make’s it look ugly. How can just how many pixels it’s below the picture? Screenshot – http://imgur.com/GEA9vfb
7.It also looks like that it doesnt work for a Chrome – http://imgur.com/JlRMCCz
8. How do I take comments # off completely?
9. Where do I have insert the code so it appears at the very top above menu? (i have to put 728×90 banner) http://imgur.com/PZ9hcYW . Also where do I insert code so the second same size banner appears right below featured articles block? http://imgur.com/31qiylS
10. How do I take off trending now line?

Hello
It is not exactly what I would like. I don´t want any offset on block 18, I don´t understand the offset you have said to me. I suppose that there must be a relation between them and set an offset ordered.
Also, I don´t understand the difference between category X and Y.
I would like to set the block order that I said above.
Thanks
Hello
I would like to know whether it is possible to hide the long line after Block Heading. But I need the Background color for Block Heading.

If possible, please provide the help to get the required result.
Thanking you for your great help you are providing.
Hello
Is there a way in the theme to redesign Block 9, so there is less padding between the “text news line”. And decide for that specific Block, if there should be tags + date of post.
I want more simple text news line using less space in hight.
Thank You

Thank you for creating this amazing template. It simply ROCKS!
I have however hit a wall and as a last resort I need to ask for some help. I’m having an issue with my Thumbs on the module blocks. My featured image is in a 16X9 (1021X580) and I need 4X3 on some of these blocks for it to look right. The default thumbnail appears to capture the center of the image leaving both ends cut off. (Picture to the left and text to the right.) I have taken the time to crop a basic 4X3 thumbnail for various sizes in the panel (80X60 – 100×70 – 200×200 etc…) via a Post Thumbnail Editor plugin and can see the thumbnails from my admin panel. (In other words – I can create the desired effect with the with the majority of the image sizes already defined.
These new thumbs do not pull up on the site however in the various blocks I’ve created. I’ve cleared my cache, disabled the lazy load, flipped the switch on soft load, even pulled this up on various computers and tablets I have without any inkling the block is pulling the actual sized thumbnail I’ve taken the time to crop.
Regen Thumbnail also appears to override any cropping or changes made to the aspect ratio of the thumbnails – ultimately erasing the thumbs I’ve taken the time to set by hand.
An illustration of what I’m talking about can be found in the footer of TheBookPeopleBlog.com
I’d like to use other block to generate categories, and featured items I have, but have been stuck on this one issue for two days. I really need to move on but can’t! LOL!
