Hello cowobreng,
If you want to have the same block style with the image, you have to add it to your sidebar through Widgetised Sidebar, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/fRKyiHl8R0hR -> http://screencast.com/t/p91LVAM7mY For more details about sidebar feature, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
A module is not the same as a block. The module is the base element and a block is simply a container for modules. Block 11 does not use module 11. You can see a list of what modules are used on what blocks here: http://screencast.com/t/95I3JzMoIZ
Please apply the modification in module 10 as this is the module used in block 11
Thank you!
If I add i.e a row or textblock from Visual composer I cant remove it, the bin is becoming red, and nothing happens, have tried different role settings without result, plz help, /Staffan
Hi
There is no need to add any code to increase the number of characters displayed in posts titles. You can do that from theme panel > excerpts: http://screencast.com/t/999k0KLh You need to increase the indicated number for each module used in blocks on your pages. You can see where each module it’s used in theme panel here: http://screencast.com/t/oGSbXNAEN
Let me know how it goes and if you need additional instructions please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello,
How to create title block style like this: http://www.screencast.com/t/xxuWBrOYyFz ?
Hello! I’m using your excellent Travel template in my site, http://www.southamerica-tours.net. I wanted to set a customized background image for the homepage, so I configured it in “Row Settings > Image”, as you can see in the blog. However, the image block has a little offset, moving a few pixels downward.
I’d like to eliminate this little gap between the header and the background image, would you please help me out with this issue, if there’s any option to configure or css style to edit? Thank you and best regards!
Hi,
I installed a demo and develop my website based on that, I read this in the documentation:
If you decide to change the demo or uninstall it, the import system will make sure that you website is clean: no additional sidebars, menus or content. It will leave you website just like it was before you installed the demo.
My question is: Now that I want to delete all the content, categories, menus, etc that came with that demo, if I uninstall the demo all my customization are lost?
Thanks in advanced.
Check to make sure your robots.txt file is not blocking stuff for Google — this includes blocking the wordpress folders! This is #1 cause.
Be sure you have notified Google that the https site is now the primary and http site is deprecated and that you have a full “all content” 301 redirect in place.
Check for errors in the search console / webmaster tools itself — it will tell you if there are sitemap issues; try testing the sitemap and if you get an okay, resubmit sitemap (make sure it’s the https version!).
Not sure that will help.
When I upload an image, it only has the original size on it, it’s not generating the thumbnails. We have them all turned ON in the “Thumbs on Modules and Blocks” admin.
Hello,
I have done all three steps above but without any result.
I use block 11 so I modified file td_module_11.php ofcourse.
Is this procedure valid also for block 11?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
I think that these are default blocks of WP? How can I disable it?

Hello,
As I understand, you want to override the excerpts from our theme and use the_excerpt wp function in modules and blocks. In order to do this you will need to edit each module file you use on your site (blocks are made out of modules) and add your code instead of our own excerpt code:
http://screencast.com/t/0TDg0hyal8
There is no other way to implement php except for the theme files.
Thank you!
Hello TimGER5,
Please try the code below and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.td_block_1{
padding-top: 10px;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/nAAJywTrg0S
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
I understand now what you mean. That is controlled by the ajax filter. https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
You can add the categories you want in this filter from block settings and using the category id’s as the guide suggests. First get the category id’s like so: http://screencast.com/t/nNA915KnqGX then you need to add the category id’s you want to display in the ajax filter here: http://screencast.com/t/NM7GZMidS
Thank you!
Hello,
1) You can hide the arrows with css like so:
.sf-menu .td-icon-menu-down{
display:none!important
}
2) I assume you are referring to this block element: http://screencast.com/t/OvRgtnFv
It’s actually a block 14 in a full width row from visual composer and with a background color added to it.
Thank you!
Thx all 🙂
Btw, we have problem with Popular Widget (7 days). We activated in Theme Panel->Block Settings->7 days post sorting, but still not work (we waited 6 days).
We have installed WP Super Cache (PHP caching).
Hi,
You need to filter the blocks on your pages to only show the 1 category you want. you can check this topic to see how you can filter the blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
You can also check this tutorial to see how to use visual composer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss-BEobegAw
As for the images, you can only use images from your media library in the featured image section. There is an alternative however. There are lots of sites with free images that you can use freely on your website.
You can get free HD images from sites like https://eu.fotolia.com/ and https://pixabay.com/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
I have added some lines in custom CSS and it now seems to be working fine.
i believe that the td-module-thumb height was same for td_module_mx1 as well as td_module_mx2.
td_module_mx1 is the class for the first image in the block, which is bigger than the other images in the block.
That’s why the video logo was not appearing to be proper in the smaller images, because it was aligned to be in center of the overall image placeholder height, which was same as the height of the big image.
So i added a css to set the height of images in td_module_mx2 and it seems to be working fine now.
Thank you.
The orange arrows in the photo below point to what I am having trouble with.
The first set of category tags are next to the main title “National” in orange. I want to be able to customize the tags where it says National, CNN, Daily Kos, Featured, Fox, Local, etc. I only want my National sub categories to show up here.
The next set of category tags is next to the main title “Local” in green. I want to be able to customize the tags where it says National, CNN, Daily Kos, Featured, Fox, Local, there as well. I only want by Local sub categories to display here.
Basically, I want all of my “National” stories to show up in the National block, and all of my local stories to show up in the “Local” block with the option to choose a specific news outlet to read from. If you only want to see CNN stories in the “Local” section, you would scroll down to the “Local” block and click the CNN category tag.
But right now, it’s not letting me specify the individual category tags. It just uses all of them. I want to be able to customize which ones show up.

Hi
I can’t find any big grid 5 on your homepage, only a big grid 4.
To remove the red color when hover over the thumbs from big grid 4 use this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/rqKwLgME I changed the color to white but you can use any color, just change its code:
.td_block_big_grid_4 .td-module-thumb:after{
background-color: #fff!important;
}
If this is not what you mean please provide more details, also a screen pointing the desired result will help.
Thanks!
Hi,
The video post types use a featured video and that is what gets displayed in the top of the post. That is why it’s a video post format. The featured image in this case is grabbed from the video itself so it can be seen on modules and blocks. You can check different post styles in our demo to see how they display:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-major-deep-feelings-january-2015-deep-house-mix/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/louge-music-reasons-why-in-form-leicester-city-will-finish/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-how-to-make-a-perfect-caffe-macchiato-video/
If you want an image to display, you can only add it below the video on these post types.
Thank you!
Hello TimGER5,
If you want to get rid of this sticky behaviour, you have to use a bit of CSS code and add some padding/margin on the top of the blocks wich are affected. For better results, please provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer and to give you a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
Unfortunately the subtitle field is not available in visual composer. the subtitle is for posts only. It’s a filed that can be filled on every post, but this option is not available in visual composer. Our modules and blocks do not display the subtitle by default. It can be done however by editing the theme files. if you want to show subtitles on the homepage in the theme’s blocks you can follow this topic to see how it can be done: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/output-subtitle-in-blog-loop/
Thank you!
I am trying to implement a Campaign Monitor form using one of their pre-configured buttons.
I can get it to work on my test server (different theme) http://splendourweb.com/test/
And on a post on the Newspaper theme site: http://digitalconstructionnews.com/2016/02/28/test/
But as soon as I use the Visual Composer, the code won’t work
Example here: http://digitalconstructionnews.com/test/
This is the code I’m using from Campaign Monitor:
<div class=”createsend-button” style=”height: 27px; display: inline-block;” data-listid=”t/CF/A13/D01/E17797086DB95035″></div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>// <![CDATA[
(function () { var e = document.createElement(‘script’); e.type = ‘text/javascript’; e.async = true; e.src = (‘https:’ == document.location.protocol ? ‘https’ : ‘http’) + ‘://btn.createsend1.com/js/sb.min.js?v=3’; e.className = ‘createsend-script’; var s = document.getElementsByTagName(‘script’)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s); })();
// ]]></script>
Similarly, when I try to insert some standard form embed code from Campaign Monitor (using a standard text block), it won’t let me save the page because it wants me to enter something in to the fields – in the back-end. It seems that the editor is trying to render the form and the Page save button is being treated as the form save button.
Please help as we need to go live.
Thanks.
