Hi,
I’m not sure if I explained myself well.
The issue is that the same post is appearing twice in the same block. That does not look. It should only appear once.
See printscreen of it here: http://www.screencast.com/t/3MweeRR8Lkb
Any fix so the post only shows once.
Best wishes
Lars
Hi,
I have few questions regarding the theme.
1. In the Visual Composer block filter setting, it states that “If you want to filter multiple categories, use the ‘Multiple categories filter’ and leave this to default”. How is default defined here? How should i leave it to default?
2. How does the tab on the block works?
Even if i filter only one category, it keeps showing all the categories on the tab.

3. How can i change the meta title on the home page?

Let me know if you need more details.
Thank you,

Hello cbur2107,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option for your goal. It is necessary to create your own block with your desired changes. Please notice that is not a simple task to achieve that and is require custom work. If you want to implement blocks in our theme you have to use API method, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/ If you want to display more levels in theme please notice that are require to do some additional customizations and is require to have a solid knowledge of PHP/HTML/JS/CSS to accomplish this. If you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you. Usually, we recommend developers from studio.envato.com
Hope this helps!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
Please provide an example of what you mean as the standard pagination on the homepage looks like so: http://screencast.com/t/pUCCgWzc but this is the latest articles pagination. You could be talking about a block pagination. Please provide more details.
Thank you!
Hello! I want the emoticon on the top left which shows the number of comments to change it in script and instead of showing the emoticon to show the word “comment”. Which is the php file that I have to prosecute? Also how can I add a “block” under the relative articles?
Hello,
Unfortunately this error could come from a big number of problems. It is a general error and we cannot pin point it to a specific thing. I believe it happens due to a server configuration which is not responding, it could be due to a delay or it could also be a temporary issue so you can try this a few times and if you still get this error please contact your host provider and let him know about this, ask them to unblock our demo in order to retrieve the theme data. It could also happen due to your wp install or other plugins might also cause this. Also make sure that your permission for the upload folder are set correct. You can check this by trying to upload an image in media library. If the process succeeds then the permission are ok. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) or if you do not have access to the cpanel, please contact your hosting provider.
If you still cannot install the demo, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look. Please also provide a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. Also try to regenerate all thumbnails as seams that the theme use some images which are not cropped. Here is a guide in this regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hello mflee,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to achieve 4 column to display your posts. Most of our blocks are structured on 3 columns. If you want to display 4 columns and you want to have the same style for blocks as in the example suggested by you, is require to do additional customizations that involve custom work. If you want to display more levels in our theme and you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi..
I have seen on my sites which are using newspaper theme… they have this modified the block in the pic.
Can you please help me out to achive the same design for the block 3?
thanks!
Well .. after weeks and many experiments i tried the same ads placement on another website ” WordPress.. no caching .. no cloudflare ”
and CTR return to it’s normal rate !
So i knew that the problem is technical in my original website .. it’s not about adblockers or January month.
when the CTR is less than 1% it’s a technical problem with no doubt.
I found that many ads in different times shows White block.
I’m not a system administrator. so soon i will contact someone/company to help me 🙂
In short,
Moving to https will decrease your earnings but not too much.
Rocket loader will fu** up your earnings.
Check the ads from different devices, IPs, Times.

Hi,
I need to create a new block, for Visual Composer, that displays the content of the post only. No featured image, no title, just the content.
My goal is to have a simple visual composer block, that will display only the content of the post, that has the same filtering capabilities as the others. (by categories, tags, etc.)
This is my last leg on a big project. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
Great, will make effort to NEVER help you on the forum.
For others less temperamental reading this thread, note you cannot generally block theme parts with htaccess rules as the http pages load those parts, e.g., (get header.php has to be able to be loaded by the single.php file, so blocking access to theme files, would not allow the page to render… )
So, when somebody (hacker, bot) is looking to read your pages and “pieces,” it will generate an error, as those individual pieces are calling functions, which may not work without the enqueued files (meaning a function being loaded a part of the header, for a menu, will generate error without the footer js, not being loaded).
So, errors are generated by folks accessing your theme pieces directly.
The best solution is to learn to block the people doing this, by their IP or IP range for repeat abuse, which is how you stop errors being generated.
For savvy folk, some hosts may be able to setup a directive to ‘ignore’ certain errors and not log them. Setting proper file permissions on your WP files can help for some things, and setting up proper htaccess rules to protect the important stuff should be job one. Links I included show how to accomplish this.
Not part of the theme, so good to learn how all of the elements of WordPress work, how the web works, how error log works, and how to harden your site for things which matter. Remember only YOU can manage and secure your site — it’s not the job of the theme developer to do that.
Cheers to all and to all a good night 🙂
Right, well anybody can access files for “any” theme — that is how WordPress works.
That is not theme specific. Anybody can probe /wp-content/themes/*
This is also why we change the name of our wp-content folder, and the theme folder name for the default bot probes.
But glad you’re on top of stuff like that and are blocking IPs attacking your theme folders.
So, anybody can probe:
wp-content/themes/*/header.php
it’s a common WP file.
SO, those kind of pings are not theme specific.
You will have these sort of pings regardless of the THEME you use, so not sure why you expect the theme author to help you lock down your site?
But luckily they are very nice around here, and might offer some suggestions.
But that’s really up to you, not TagDiv.
Oh well, best of luck. Some good resources on this topic on the web already. Very old common issue with ALL WP sites.
Hi,
Is there a way to implement the animation effects of the post grid (fade in, scale in, etc) to the blocks (block 1, 7, etc)?
Thanks in advanced.
Hi!
I have activated block 4 on my page and I wuold like to add a button “Read More” in every box on the block.
What is the way to do that?
Thanks =)
There are some really good articles online about “hardening” WordPress you should look into, as this is NOT a new issue. WordPress is so well entrenched on the web, that ALL sites which have any WordPress elements are easily “probed” for known vulnerabilities in certain plugins, themes, javsscript, php, xml-rpc, comments boxes, forms, forums, and sign-up/sign-in boxes.

Good older article

Periodic free scan of site with Securi advisable

(also sign up for their newsletter about breaking issues with WP core, plugins, etc.)
ALSO:
learn to use your server side ERROR LOG, and perhaps see if your web host can setup CSF/IPtables for you to auto-block probes to your IP.
In your http/web error log you should be able to see the error being generated and the IP the probes are coming from, then BLOCK that IP (we had to block all of Ukraine recently, for example for huge amount of attacks — and the ISPs don’t respond to/resolve issues after 60 days!).
Just food for thought.
I might wrangle this into a tutorial with some examples of the error log when I have a free brain cell 🙂
I activated cloudfare because my hosting told me to do it to decrease the page load time. Should i deactivate it? also for the sidebar text it`s not a block. I just need the code to put in theme panel to center align the text so give me the code?
If you’re using a static page, Yoast doesn’t “know” that is actually your home page while editing and so the URL shown is “the actual URL” which is the name of the “page” you created.
However, Yoast doesn’t control THAT URL, WordPress does when setting the static page as your home page.
SO, you only have to worry about the other blocks on the static page which actually get “printed” in the meta data.
Good idea to learn to look at “page source” for your home page in browser to SEE what is actually being printed on the live page in the “actual” HTML.
Hope that helped 🙂
(If that was not the question, apologies – I don’t work here …)
Hi,
On the page I link below I use block 15. I’ve set the “category filter” to only display one category of posts.
And to display in “random order”.
However – an annoying thing happens – some of the posts are showing up twice. I only want posts to be seen once in the same block.
Why is this happening?
The page is: http://toppselger.no – scroll down to “Salgsfirma i Norge” at the botton of the page to see the block I’m talking about.
Kind regards
Lars
Hey guys,
I’m using block 16 and block 4 on my homepage. I have all the excerpt settings set to standard. Every once in a while (I haven’t posted that much yet, still testing) I make a post and for some reason the excerpt is too long. Examples are my post from the 1st of March and the 19th of February > http://tinyurl.com/jaeugf5
I don’t understand why. I have played around with the excerpt length, but these posts always have a longer excerpt compared to the other posts. How is this possible? I don’t have a custom excerpt set.
Thanks.
Hi,
When i choose color in Block setting “Title background color”
the same color does not appear on link a: hover of the item from the dropdown
as is in your demo http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
DON’T MISS is orange like a:hover “All” – “Style hunter” – “Vogue” etc.
LIFESTYLE NEWS is green like a:hover “All” – “Travel” – “Recipes” etc
If I put a certain color on Block Setting “Title background color”
doesn’t have same color a: hover of dropdown link, it remain what
I have chosen in panel > theme accent color.
It seems to take always the color of the css
.td-subcat-filter .td-subcat-list a:hover
Why?
Thanks
Hello carmene,

Hi,
Unfortunately we have not tested taboola ads, but you can try to add your taboola ad code in a custom ad spot inside the theme panel by using this method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads/
Paste the code in a custom ad in Theme Panel > Ads > custom ad – http://screencast.com/t/JFsT6hi5o and use do_shortcode function to place the custom ad
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
You can then place the code in the template files here:
http://screencast.com/t/BHsSOAFTX
Hope this helps!
How should I show custom taxonomy instead of default category tags on the post and blocks?
