Hi
To achieve that are required some php modifications in theme files, not only css code. First you will need to define a new thumb size in td_config.php: http://screencast.com/t/4UhameCTw This step is required because the current thumbs are to small to be displayed on a full width row. Also you will need a new module and define a new case in td_block_5.php which will display only two articles in block: http://screencast.com/t/688zj06B
Please consider that this is a very complex task which involve many customizations and very good coding skills. If you can’t do it yourself my advice is to find someone to help you or hire a freelancer to do this for you as we can’t offer any customization services at the moment.
Also you can use big grid 2 which already have a layout with two colons.
Thanks!

Hello!
Are there any other more in-depth tutorials on how to set-up your site using the theme?
I followed the Video Tutorial for setting up a home page but I’m now really confused – my site looks nothing like the ones in the video and I don’t know how to Edit the Blocks.
I also don’t know how to Set up a Menu Bar.
I added a Blog Posts, but the entire post is just appearing on the home page and it looks nothing like the template I installed.
I’d appreciate some help 🙂
thanks
tell me where are blocks and elements
1. How to change the settings of default homepage set on a blog. I need to see how my articles look on homepage. It is set to latest articles.Not static.
2. Whenever I use blocqoutes. It applies on whole text above & below the selected text. Then I switch to text again and again to make
it work.
3. I need to change width from 480 to 720
I’ve been through everything, and I still can’t get the newsmag blocks to obtain a transparent background. Adjusting the transparency to .01 yields a white background.
Thank you!
Blake.
What is the CSS code to make block 5 full width of the page? I only want 2 posts. See here http://topic.ie/election2016/
Hi,
Seems like pagination resets the loop set within modules and blocks
How can I prevent this reset? I’d like to keep track of which number post the user is seeing, and display different ads as he gets further down the list of posts. However, the load more seems to prevent that, and sets the counter back to zero
Please advise
Thanks in advance!
Dear TagDiv Team!
Thank you for crafting this beautiful theme, it works great!
There is one (hopefully) small thing that I just cannot figure out: I would like to have featured posts (or any category, really) to have a different background on blocks (module 4, 6, 10, and mx4, but if I can get it to work on just one, I could figure out the rest).
http://www.theguardian.com/music
Here is an example of what I mean by different background color on blocks (the purple background pieces are featured news)
Thank you very much for your help!
Is there a way to display the category top blog in the first page of the category disabling it in all other pages?
Currently, it displays exactly the same articles (5 latest), which looks really weird. (I did not find any setting to do so in the Theme Panel.)
eg:
http://www2.memri.org/es/categoria/archivos/analisis-e-investigacion
http://www2.memri.org/es/categoria/archivos/analisis-e-investigacion/page/2
http://www2.memri.org/es/categoria/archivos/analisis-e-investigacion/page/84
You can see the blocks are not aligned and the margins are close to the edge and they are not responsive on mobile http://screencast.com/t/7JPEzQcZxl
I’m having that same problem.
I just solved, used this:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_big_grid_5 .td-big-grid-post {
padding-right:0px;
}
Thanks!
Hello eduardopfreire,
Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_big_grid_5 .td-big-grid-post {
padding-top:0px;
}
.td_block_big_grid_4 {
padding-bottom: 45px;
}
.td_block_big_grid_4 .td-big-grid-post:first-child {
padding-bottom:0px;
}
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/d7vdujKCO
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello sporkhc,
If you want to hide a block title you have to use a bit of CSS to hide it. Please try the code below and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Vhqr66pCMChx
The code is ->
.block-title {
display:none;
}
If you want to hide the title only for a block, you have to target it and put it before the above code that I gave you. (for example .td_block_1)
Please notice that you have used Ajax filter from Blocks settings you have to do a bit of CSS to increase the padding top of the block for a better look. (-> padding-top: 32px)
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
The best method to get this done is to remove the article inline ad and simply add a custom ad with a shortcode in the loop file like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?> and then simply add your plugin shortcode under it.

Thank you!

Hi
1. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have a shortcode to display the author’s avatar and bio.
2. Add this code in td_block_authors.php like here: http://screencast.com/t/R6S6WsSsV – http://screencast.com/t/bFIbFgG7ve9W
$buffy .= '<div class="td-author-description">';
$buffy .= get_the_author_meta('description', $td_author->ID);
$buffy .= '</div>';
3. I am not sure how do you you want to implement the email share. If you want to have a subscription box you can try a plugin like mail chimp: https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/
Thanks!

Hello servedaily,
Post Grid is a built in Visual Composer element. I have tested on my side with Posts as data source and will display all the latest posts in your page and if you chose page as data source, this element will interpret only the text of the pages…so If you have a page with some blocks, this feature will not display this into one page…will display only text…practically it is not possible to display shortcode in shortcode…I have tested this behaviour into the default theme and returns the same results -> http://screencast.com/t/r9Lzl0Z7Hjyn Please notice that our theme does not interfere with the code the functionality of Visual Composer elements.
If is not what you referring to, please provide more details about this because your above screenshot does not work.
Thank you for the message!
Hi
For header ad you can add a condition like this in ads.php: http://screencast.com/t/kBMpgQDwrkU
if (!is_single(post_id)){
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_block_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'header'));
}
To get the post id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/sbNlQ28P
To disable the sidebar ad from a specific post you can create a new sidebar with the same content, except the ad-spot, then add your sidebar into your post: http://screencast.com/t/zvhzLiw1
Thanks!
I’ve had a look at how to make a new block (using the api and the example plugin), and that helps me with part of my issue, the other is that I need a block that has a non-standard title styling. From what I can see, the title code is shared across all blocks. I could probably get away with simply hiding the block title as well…
Any pointers?
To be clear, this is the h4 title with the class “block-title”.
Hello Sophie,
Unfortunately, this is the ‘problem’ about cropping system. Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server. I did some investigation on my side and I did a little digging into this matter. Please try to use a bit of CSS and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td_block_big_grid_1 .td_module_mx5 img {
transform: translate(0px,-45px);
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/oEskkp8APTeg
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
In order to do so, you will have to edit the theme files. Every block is made out of modules. In your case, block 9 uses module 8. Here is where the comments and views are called: http://screencast.com/t/HOBiCH341
You can probably replace this line with a plugin shortcode to get the result you want.
thank you!
Hey people.
To start, here’s my site.
http://www.thetindercheatsheet.com
Basically, i’d like to replace the view & comment count on the front page with facebook like, share and tweet buttons.
I believe i’d have to modify specific modules so that it will only show on specific blocks.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you
It’s not impossible but would require customizations and I would suggest to do this in each block’s template: http://screencast.com/t/ZBvrHE6M6C place a condition to verify if the query has posts and set it to return an empty string if it does.
Hope this helps! If you’re not aware how to do this please contract a developer/freelancer.
Thanks for the message!

Hello,
The font from a textblock in visual composer is affected by the body font: http://screencast.com/t/tbpdkUnr but it will only get the font family. The size will have to be added with custom css like so:
.wpb_text_column p{
font-size: 20px;
}
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
The categories showed up for us 100% of the time. Again now: http://screencast.com/t/f7uKmrmJ
Please clear your cache and your browser cache as well and check the issue from another machine as well.
The second issue comes from your block settings. The ajax filter is the one displaying the categories on top, not the filter tab. They are 2 different filters. If you use an ajax filter you need to leave the first filter on all categories :http://screencast.com/t/ICYpcu6ME and then insert the cat id’s in the ajax filter here: http://screencast.com/t/5wmLjy0Rh
Please check the page again to see the modifications i made to the settings.
You can read more about block settings here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thank you!
