Hi,

Thank you – Yes that does seem to be the problem. When I remove the slider, Block 15 works again. Is there any way to alter the width of the image slider, so that it fits? I can’t see any other way to implement it.

Thanks,

Hi

Sorry for misunderstanding.
The above solutions works only when a category page it’s displayed. If you want to change the header ad for o post from a specific category then you need to use the in_category() function. Here is a basic example for caribbean and destinations categories on my side: http://screencast.com/t/NDVOIEvs1bg

<?php
                if (in_category(array('caribbean','destinations'))){
                    echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
                }
                else{
                    locate_template('parts/header/ads.php', true);
                }
                 ?>

This code will load a different header ad for all posts which belong to caribbean and destinations categories.
Note: if you want to change the ad for a post from a specific category the required function is in_category() but if you want to change it for a category page then you have to use is_category().

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi

You can add a specific class on the block from which you want to hide the row, in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/MkIn5STfXU then use it in css to tarket only that specific row like in this example:

@media(max-width: 768px){
.page-id-358569 .custom-css-class .td_block_16 .td-block-row:last-child{
display: none;
}
}

Thanks!

Well, the CSS and Java in the page helps it load faster by NOT having to load external sources and helps to deal with the above the fold loading, and mobile loading. Some things work better inline than external these days.

In other words, some CSS and JS “inline” loads faster for above the fold (render blocking …) vs waiting for the entire separate file to load, hence why this is now donw, which was crazy talk in olden days.

“Critical CSS” should be loaded with the page itself, then supported elements “later.”

Tricky!

I’ve stopped using some plugins due to the extra CSS crap included and no way to disable, or allow the plugin to “inherent” theme CSS (e.g., <LI> and <UL> stuff).

I also hacked one plugin to remove their CSS and just put it at bottom of the style.css and shazam.

I feel your pain; actually dealing with this right now on another project which is NOT using TagDiv themes due to a long boring story.

I really hate the form scripts which load the FORM CSS on every page and not just the actual FORM page. Requires creating custom page called “form” and then manually putting the CSS for plugin on THAT page vs having stupid if/then on every site page to NOT load it conditionally which is also dumb for resource queries.

AUGH!!!!! (damn kite eating tree!)

Thnaks for your reply, but actually that didn’t help. The info you show was of course known to me, it’s in the admin. But what remains unclear from the admin, the demo, and the documentation is how blocks and modules are related. In other words, what modules are used to create blocks, and in which way. Unless we know that, working with modules is like working in the dark, we don’t have a clue what effect tweaking a module in the admin has on the frontend.

I found old documentation with some helpful drawings that show exactly what I mean, but it’s only for a handful of blocks. In VC you can choose many more blocks. We work with blocks, not with modules.

I find the current setup very confusing. There are so many technical settings that have no apparent relationship with the output in the frontend.

Unless I miss something…

Hi

The theme wasn’t designed to support custom taxonomies in block’s filter. To achieve that you will need many customization in theme’s files and unfortunately I can’t provide a solution now. Basically you need to edit the td_data_source.php file and alter the query in order to have your custom taxonomies in filter: http://screencast.com/t/4P3AnaBK0
Please consider that this is a complex task which require advanced coding skills, also many customization and tests. If you can’t do this by yourself my advice is to look for someone which can help you with this or hire a freelancer to do it for you as we can’t offer any type of custom work at the moment.

Thanks!

Hi

You can use do_shortcode function in loop-single-2.php like here:

<?php echo do_shortcode('block's shortcode'); ?>

To get the shortcode add the block 7 into a blank page then switch in backend editor copy and paste this code: http://screencast.com/t/ij9Sbajz inside do_shortcode function.

Also you will need this code in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/H9G6Yoeocg

.single .td-pb-row .td-pb-row .td-pb-span8{
width: 100%;
}

Hope this help!
Thanks!

Hi

To add a new custom ad you have to edit the following files like here:
– td_panel_ads.php – http://screencast.com/t/csyUpkoa – http://pastebin.com/v9xwLdQz
– td_block_ad_box.php – http://screencast.com/t/mRzwOa0Q5
– td_config.php – http://screencast.com/t/m3REo5pm

Result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/FxYioNcpNS
This was just an example for custom ad 6. To add more custom ads follow the same steps but make sure you update properly the ad-spot ids.

Thanks!

Hi

For each block the theme make a custom query depending by the filter set in Visual Composer. The query it’s made in td_data_source.php here http://screencast.com/t/qwy075xXq and the arguments for it are defined here: http://screencast.com/t/8P8ntnH8Nu To add a new sort order you have to edit td_config.php file and add your sort. You can add it either as a new field or simply as an option in sort list: http://screencast.com/t/jP8gMSDk Next step would be to generate the new sort in td_data_source.php by adding the required arguments to query.

Please consider that this is a complex task which require advanced coding skills, also many customization and tests. If you can’t do this by yourself my advice is to look for someone which can help you with this or hire a freelancer to do it for you as we can’t offer any type of custom work at the moment.

Thanks!

Hi @gerry

Checking your site I found some errors in browser console. This errors are directly related with theme’s blocks that’s why the site is not displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/DIRsU1DWWUHu Please make sure that you updated the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ also during the update process deactivate all plugins then enable only Visual Composer and check the site again.
Theme’s code it’s tested and does not contains any malicious code so as @Chris suggested it may be a false positive. For more details about this please check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/virus-detected-in-the-theme-2/ While you install the theme consider deactivating the Avast antivirus as this may affect some of the required files.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks?!
