Hi.
I am using Big Grid Slide Style 1. I’m wondering how to remove the greyish cast? I have this code in my Custom CSS but it doesn’t work.
.iosSlider {
background-color: none !important;
}
Tried this code too and still doesn’t work.
.td_block_slide .item {
background-color: white !important;
}
And also how to make the Prev/Next Button more opaque and appear on the page even without mouse hovering over it? I have this code in my Custom CSS.
.iosSlider .prevButton,
.iosSlider .nextButton {
opacity: 0.7;
}
Thanks.

It looks like you’re referring to Ajax filters. If you create a block to show posts, go to the edit button (pencil icon). In the settings menu, you should see a tab for Ajax filters. You can read more on tagDiv’s block settings information page (about halfway down).

Yes, if you’re referring to the excerpts on blocks, you can adjust that in the theme panel under the “Excerpts” section. Here’s a screen shot of what it looks like:

You can set limits by number of words or number of characters. And each module has its own excerpt limits.
Hope that helps.
Is there a place on the site where we can adjust character limits for some of the blocks? I’d like to reveal more of the intros to my articles.
thanks!
Hey guys,
So I loaded some test posts into my site so far. In some of the block where I list these articles out i’m getting this error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: thumbnail is not set.
/home/derbak2/finough.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
I’m not familiar with the path nor what its responding with. The code comes up behind the thumbnail image and right above the title specifically with block 27. Any advice on how to fix this would be great!
Please am lost how do make two blocks with same picture thumbnail assuming am using block 19 but all the pictures should be same as in the attached picture
http://Teamreporters.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/sam.bmp
or just tell me any other method i can achieve that
Thanks Bogdan, but how would I put that code into the page?
I’m using Visual Composer to arrange the blocks and don’t want to mess it up.
How can I get Block 5 to display 2 across vs 3 across on a Tablet?
Really loving Newspaper so far. Everything has worked as well or better than I hoped.
I have a question about aligning four blocks in a grid on a front page. I’m trying to display posts from four separate categories in a 2×2 grid next to a sidebar. It works pretty well so far, but slight variations in title length and excerpts can cause certain blocks to be “longer” than others, causing misalignment of the row below.
Here’s a screen shot to illustrate:

I would prefer to keep the 2×2 grid and sidebar in a single Visual Composer row if possible, since the sidebar’s height matches well with the grid.
I haven’t looked too closely at the CSS yet, but was hoping there might be an elegant solution. Any advice? Thanks in advance for the support.
Good Morning!
hi Borgdan,
No my friend

I want to control the line, the dimensions of the block (measures), and text. http://www.screencast.com/t/MSRzzowGMRLP

Hi,
You can try to alter one of the blocks if you do not want to use plugin. I ran a few tests on a block 11 that comes close to what you want:
.td_block_11 .td-module-thumb{
display:none!important;
}
.td_block_11 .td_module_10 .item-details {
margin-left: 0!important;
min-height: 0!important;
}
.td_block_11 .td_module_10{
padding-bottom:10px!important
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/bGjg5w88U
Thank you!
Hello Albert,
Please notice that if you not set the featured image from your editor, you will not have displayed the featured image on your blocks. Any smart list you use, the featured image have to be set it manually from the editor. Please notice that smart list and post template is 2 different things. The Smartlist is part of post template. As you can see in our documentation, we have a lot of post templates, each with different characteristics (post template default, style 1, style 2, and so on…) The post template style 5 is the single one that does not display the featured image on the top of the post and because of this is recommended to be used for the smart list to avoid the duplication image. You have to use without problem the smart list 2 or smart list 5 with the post template style 5 set it from editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/2PsHrz92VVR
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello,
Please first check if you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Our theme does not support featured articles (sticky posts) This interferes with our grid. If you want to have a single featured article, you can use a block to display it and use the block settings to filter just the single post by it’s id: http://screencast.com/t/l8n2QZmrNc
Thanks.
Hello fajrialhadi,
1)If you want to set the category for your Block used you have to use Ajax Filter option from each Block Settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/rFRdqK71tFqJ and the category ID you can get in this way -> http://screencast.com/t/L3WGJUsAT For more information about Block Settings, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
2)If you want to include the some Blocks in Sidebar you can do it from the panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/tiCirt6h and for your homepage, you have to use Widgetised Sidebar, the element from Visual Composer. For more information about Sidebars, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
3),4a)Please notice that you can have control over the layout of the page from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/r9v6IxfQIp For more information about how to use Visual Composer, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ Also, please notice that you can use what kind of Block you want, for example -> http://screencast.com/t/Wg8GMUOVhU For more information about our Blocks/Modules, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
4b) Please notice that Related Articles is a feature of the theme and you can have control over it only from Theme panel. Please ensure that you have enabled this option from Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/nmT851KWF For more information about this feature, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/related-articles/ This kind of feature take only the featured image from your posts.
5)I suppose that you referring to the sidebar on your posts. In order to achieve as you wish, please consult Sidebar documentation as you can see above. Also, please ensure that you have enabled the sidebar option for your posts, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/46gCUiSx7Z -> http://screencast.com/t/uX6i3EmdhrQh
6)In this cases, I recommend you using Upscale Thumbnail & Regenerate Thumbnail because our theme does not enlarge the image if it is smaller than the thumb, but only crop it from center to top. In order to know the image size for this feature, please check this section from Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/qzflV661BM
7)As I can see in your screenshot, is used a plugin to achieve that (Facebook embed-untested plugins). If you want to include the widgets into your footer, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
As you can see, the most your answers have the responses in our documentation. Please trying to read it competent, trying to understand all the elements and then trying to implement these on your site. Also, you can try to check our YouTube channel, here -> https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv because there you can see a lot of useful tutorials, which helps you to accomplish your website.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
1) The page templates were changed in newspaper 6. If you want to hide titles on some pages, you need to change the page template to default: http://screencast.com/t/sAM78esd
2) You can use css to do it as there are no settings for it.
.white-popup-block{
max-width: 540px!important;
}
Thank you!
The api documentation should help on how to customize blocks or how to add a new thumbnail but please understand that this represents customization that is not covered by support.
Thank you!
Hello,
There seems to be some css there that gets rewritten. The trending now block element does not get the negative margin anymore so it creates a bit of space above the content. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
Hi
You can set the time between each posts displayed in slide block from its settings like here: http://screencast.com/t/LUyUXZ43oU
If this is not what you mean please provide more details about what your trying to do so I can inspect this closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
Hello,
The best way to edit php is by accessing you files via ftp and using a text editor such as notepad++.
1) If you want to edit parts of the header then you need to access one of the header files: http://screencast.com/t/2zAba2Tj
You will need to kn ow a bit of css as well as it is used for the margins you need to alter in order to get your new dimansions to display properly.
2) If you want to add a shortcode for an ad spot at the bottom of the menu, then you need to menu file and use a do_shortcode php function like so:
If you want to place an ad at the bottom of the menu, it’s best to add it inside what is below the menu, not the menu file itself.
In order to do this, you must edit the specific post template or category template or page template you want the add to appear on.
Thank you!
Hello k2point0,
For your first request, if you want to change the position of the meta info you have to do some additional customization in code in order to achieve as you want. If it is about page display, you have to change it from your modules/blocks settings. For example, if you use are using module 1 (used by Block 3 ->http://screencast.com/t/SndrQ6HLNJ) you have to do these modifications like this -> http://screencast.com/t/dw8cRUf6rK and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/f4fCOWrMEwRC
For your second request, it is an option for it in Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/J6fVODX1ceF8 and for more information about this, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-tag-on-modulesblocks/
Thank you for the message!
Hi
Theme’s ad system is tested and works fine on Google Chrome. Also I’ve checked your site on Chrome and the header ad is displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/sEq6O0262m
Please make sure that you don’t have any ad-blocker software installed on Chrome, clear all caches including browser’s cache then test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
