Hi, Andrei
thanks. 🙂
This is actually something you could likely “hook in” to the theme with a couple of boxes, without much trouble.
And for older installs, simply find the ‘best place’ to dump the two blocks of code in the various post/loop files, even if done manually.
I’ve been sidetracked by trying to deal with another thing entirely, so have not had free brain cells to play with this at length anymore at this time, but will get back to it later.

Hello,
Every time I try to change design options in visual composer for a block, changes undo just after I click preview button. Is that because I have ignored some prerequisites or so? because this is the first time I tried this option. Thanks.
Hello,
I have checked into this issue and it truly seems that the widgetized sidebar title does not get the theme css style. You can however create a workaround for it if you add a raw html element above the widgetized sidebar (and remove the widget title) and enter this code in it:
<h4 class="block-title">
<span>My Title</span>
</h4>
It should look like so: http://screencast.com/t/FE3UepgVl1
And now your title should get the styling as it should.
I will add this issue on our bug list and we will fix it in a future version of the theme.
Thank you!

Hello,
We already have this suggestion on our update list but it;s the development team that will decide if it will get implemented or not. Until such time, you can follow this topic to see how it can be done from the theme files:

I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi i am using your Newsmag theme
i am using a article template now if i want to add a widget i.e. a block of the theme after the share box below the article
so how can i achieve this ?
basically i want a block available from the theme (which i can put into sidebar through widget) to be visible between the share box below the article and related/more from author article.
Hi Bogdan,
Is it possible to set the featured image to lightbox that appears in a block (on landing page)
Or do we need to use a 3rd party plugin

Hello,
There are 2 ways of adding ads inside a smartlist. One is the php method where you can use a do_shortcode function and add it inside one of these files: http://screencast.com/t/RAU3ZEudH
Or you can use the visual composer shortcode from an ad box and place the ad directly inside the smartlist content for example this shortcode will grab the ad from the custom ad 1 spot:
[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1" spot_title="Advertisment"]
You just place it in text mode inside the content.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
The Widgetised sidebar TITLE setting is not being formatted as the other title elements of the page layout.

The Block title “teste” should be formatted as the “CALENDÁRIO” title…
How can I fix it?
Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. It also happens on iPad with Chrome – here is a screencast of the issue:
http://www.screencast.com/t/axZ9Wmb7CDvs
Apologies for the video being sideways, hopefully you don’t hurt your neck 🙂
I use block 15 on the home page multiple times along with custom ads in this section.
I want to customise my homepage with blocks but current homepage doesn’t have the edit page option should I create a new homepage? Tks
Hi,
I have a CPT with custom fields for events. I want to list upcoming events (based on the event date not the post date) in block 9 on the sidebar.
So I have field “event_startdate” (stored in post_meta table, meta_key) which I want to use for sorting.
The meta-value of this is DATE.
I already add this sort option to the td-config and the switch statement in td_data_source, but it won’t work.
I guess I have to deal with meta_query options, I tried
case ‘event_startdate’:
$wp_query_args['meta_key'] = 'event_startdate';
also this:
$wp_query_args['meta_query'] = array(
'relation' => 'AND',
'events' => array(
'key' => 'event_startdate',
'value' => 'meta_value_DATE',
'type' => 'DATE',
),
);
$wp_query_args['orderby'] = 'events';
It seems that my settings from the meta query gots overruled by the standard sorting.
Thanks for a hint.
I do not like this … I can not for the way I want … I do not want the two image make a cut … I want the image from top to bottom …

It is possible to add new sizes ? create a different size for a block ?
hi TagDiv,
thanks again for your awesome theme!
I just have a quick issue for you. The ‘Load more’ button in the content block on my home page has stopped working.
You can see my site here: https://delimiter.com.au
If you scroll down the page to the bottom of the article listing, you’ll see a ‘Load more’ button. However, when you click this button, it just reloads the same articles that are already there.
I think this is an issue stemming from Visual Composer somehow.
Is this an issue that TagDiv is able to fix?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Kind regards,
Renai
Hi,
This will require a bit of customization in order to be positioned properly.
Please add this code in single.php:
<div class="custom-block3"> <?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block_3 limit="4"][/vc_column][/vc_row]')?></div>
And then use this css to fix the width:
.custom-block3 .td-pb-row .td-pb-span8{
width: 100%!important;
}
Thank you!
thanks!
I have one more query. I am trying to add a block 3 below the author box in post. I learned that this is possible with the visual composer and a shortcode. When i added the shortcode to the single.php file, the block 3 was added but it dislays 3 columns instead of 2 i.e 3 posts on 1 row instead of 2. How can i show 4 posts in 2 columns and 2 rows i.e each row should have 2 posts.
I checked this forum post where a user was facing a similar issue. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/number-of-columns-in-a-block/. My blog posts already has a sidebar. Thus i cannot use a 2/3 + 1/3 layout
Thanks!
You can use both, yes! The api uses the plugin provided here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/ you can also create a child theme for other modifications.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please make sure you activate the correct thumbnails for every block in the theme panel:
In this case you need to have active the
218×150, 324×235, and 218×150
Please make sure you have these thumbs active here: http://screencast.com/t/ygq8ZGPaeb
The thumbnails are cropped by our theme in a center-top manner. This is the default state of the theme and if you want to change this cropping method, it will not be so easy.
You can read more about thumbs and cropping here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Не сталкивался с таким?
Не, не сталкивался; похоже, плагин накосячил…
А мы наконец-то и дошли до истины. Сноси “cyr-to-lat enhanced”. Ищи ему замену.
Кстати, на форуме поддержки этого плагина: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cyr3lat куча неотвеченных вопросов…
Hi
I’am sorry if I didn’t understood your request correct. My previous reply refers at this question: how to display post types on the home page? By default our theme display only post, which is a post type from WordPress and I assumed that you have different post types registered or generated by some plugins and you want to have them displayed in blocks.
If you’re referring to the fact that some widget are missing from VC please make sure that all elements are enabled in Visual Composers settings: http://screencast.com/t/CqfghUEmzxw Some times the new widgets aren’t added automatically in Visual Composer so check the indicated settings.
Thanks!
@ChrisS This attitude doesn’t help and I hope the developers doesn’t have the same one. I’m paying for a product that should work with most common plugins.
I’m a software tester for the last 15 years. When I’m upgrading a product from one version to another (Newspaper 6.5 to 6.6.4) without adding other settings or other software(in our case plugins) I shouldn’t loose any functionality and things should work the same. If that is not the case it should be put in the release notes in order for people to know there is an issue.
In my case: I didn’t change anything to the site. Not a single change in settings. Then I’ve upgraded and I started to get issues. This is a problem, a software defect.
@BogdanB If my feedback it’s not wanted please let me know. I thought you might want to know the issues in order to fix it.
Belive me when I’m saying this is an issue. It’s not normal to loose functionality over an upgrade.
Until this is fixed I will disable this feature and I hope the developer will announce the community it is an issue and get it fixed.
@ChrisB We did blocked Ukraine bots long time ago. A more positive approach it’s better appreciated by the clients. Getting in defense mode it’s not what users appreciate.

Hi
I’ve noticed that you’re using the page template default for the contact page. When this template it’s used the default sidebar set in page settings won’t appear. You can use either the above method or use page builder + title to display the sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/IIG6Z5YyH1
It doesn’t matter if the contact form is present or not on the page. When the theme detect the default template only the content from Visual Composer it’s displayed. So if you want to display a sidebar using that template the only way is by using the widgetized sidebar block as I indicated in my previous message.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve test this on my side and the placeholder images are displayed fine. Please make sure that you added the images as I did here: http://screencast.com/t/aTzF3Qhxz The most important part is to name the images exactly as they were named initially, otherwise the theme won’t recognize the path ant the image won’t be displayed.
Try this way: create a post with no featured image then display it in a block, for example block 4. Usually there should be displayed the original no-thumb image corresponding for that block. For block 4 the original image is: td_341x220.png http://screencast.com/t/iGhOdblxl Result will be like here: http://screencast.com/t/Wf7LnlFdHLWg
Now replace the td_341x220.png image with a different image but name it with the exact same name and refresh the page. Result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/aTzF3Qhxz
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello,
1) You could provide the link to the website you saw the slider on so we can see if the slider is a plugin or custom made.
2) You can do it with a page menu. As i said above, you can create any layout in a page then add it to a mega-menu. You can even recreate the one in the image you showed: http://screencast.com/t/T9GyF78NcZMy
You simply use content blocks from visual composer and sorting options: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
