Hi thanks for reply.
1. I have checked the length of content under the block 2 (but what I mentioned was block 1, anyway all blocks have same issue), the original value was default value, 25. Now I gave 30 as you mentioned.

2. I don’t have any custom excerpts, and the textbox you mentioned in my backend is empty
— Jerry Ding (@ArchangelKiller) January 5, 2016
unfortunately there is no any changes, all blocks still display entire content of post.

Hi
You can change the background-color for blocks tiles from sidebar under Appearance > Widgets: http://screencast.com/t/PCHOUCbArX – http://screencast.com/t/wrYQ0tkM3KWi
Regarding the feeds system, the theme uses the one built in from WordPress and don’t affect its functionality.
If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunaltey you will have to set the ad manually from the theme files and remove the one from the theme panel.
You can use this code:
$buffy .= do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); like so:

I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
I have tested the offset function on my end but it seems to work properly. You need to use the same categories in your blocks for the filter to work. If a different filter is selected then the offset will not work as the documentation above shows.
In this part:
Если я устанавливаю смещение + фильтр по рубрике, смещение перестаёт работать: http://prntscr.com/9m0qud
please specify what filter you are using and how is it different than the other block you are trying to offset the posts to. Basicaly the 2 blocks need to have the same filter and show the same posts for the offset to work.
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately the theme has no such option. You can edit each block to have a particular color and then filter a specific category like on our demo page: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ but anything beyond that will require custom work.
Thank you!

Hello,
1) You can change the title position by using this custom css. It will need further customization for colors though
.td_module_mx8 {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 80px;
}
.td_block_18 .td-column-3 .td_module_mx8 .td-module-meta-info{
bottom: -55px;
}
.td_module_mx8 .entry-title a{
color:black;
}
.td-module-comments a{
color:black;
}
2) As Alin stated above, you can check the excerpts section to see which module is used by which block.
Thank you!

Hello emmaus,
You can achieve this if you use a bit of CSS to hide the block. Below I gave you an example for block_2. If you are using another type of block you can target it like an example.
.td_block_2 {
display:none;
}
If you want to hide the block from a specific page, you should target the page ID and add it in the code above before the block -> http://screencast.com/t/OPXDpW3mayC
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details.

width:300px!important;
}

Hello Mecburlar,
If you use an “Ajax filter”, you should try a bit of CSS for a good look. Add the code below in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.

padding-top:40px;
}
The result you should see here: http://screencast.com/t/VPiLGOIwzaw
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hi. I can not edit the blocks of my home page. I can not put custom titles or change the social networking accounts . Do not edit option appears . mi pagina es http://www.hoyencomitan.com
Is it possible to exclude current post being read from a block in sidebar.
Say I had block1 in sidebar and I want the most popular in there. The block shouldn’t show the current post in it.
If that’s not possible what would be the best way to do it in td_api_plugin creating a block ?
Go to Pages > then its probably going to be the News page if you didn’t change. The page where you would setup your blocks for your homepage…..look below the Visual Composer section for “Homepage latest articles” section. In that section you can choose the Sidebar Position, and also the Sidebar that you want it to use.

If that doesn’t help, you’ll have to wait for a mod.
Thanks Andrei
Quick follow up:
I got it to work, creating new sidebars and I even widgetized some area on main homepage (not sidebar) and used this sidebar to show as RSS feeds.
When doing that, I cant see where to change the titel BG colour. Theres is no block/module to control it in via VP and I cant see it in theme panel. Where can I control the Widgets titel BG colour? (can only find option for footer widget titel BG).
And could You please tell me, why RSS feeds titels are shown inside “”..?
Thank You
I would like to modify the following lines of code, taken from Version 2.1 of NewsMag theme.
My intention is to add a link to the post author’s twitter account, instead of the usual link to their post archives.
I am editing line 66 to 78 of the file ‘td_module_single_base.php’ in ‘includes/wp_booster’.
I have tried to use the WordPress function get_the_author_meta(‘twitter’, $author_id) as follows, but I cannot get it to work with the way the code has been concatenated.
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the non-functioning code:
$buffy .= ‘‘ . get_the_author_meta(‘display_name’, $this->post->post_author) . ‘‘ ;
EDIT : I can’t display the code correctly, but the line I wish to show is line 70.
Thank you Alin,
But i know this already when i tried to add block and its show two (old and new one) so how to edit already old one or replace it?
Thank you..Happy new year!

Hi

.td_block_21 .td-post-author-name{
display: none!important;
}
Thanks!

display: block!important;
}
Thanks!
Hi
The size that you indicated for your image is to small to fit the entire space from first thumb of big grid slide. As the image to fit well in that thumb must have an size at least by 741 X 486.
The slide it’s built in a different way, meaning that the image is stretched by css and even if is smaller than the slide surface, it will be displayed fine.
You can try this css to stretch the image on the entire surface of the thumb, but this may affect its quality:
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-thumb .td-module-thumb img{
width: 100%;
eight: 100%;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you have this issue only with video images? Please also provide a link so we can inspect this. Also please make sure you have enabled thumbs on block/modules – http://screencast.com/t/dlz8aUNioIr and try to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Let us know!
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option to block an image on mobile devices, you can use custom css to hide it but it will still be loaded in the source just that it will not be visible.
The theme used the same thumbnails on blocks/modules even it is desktop or mobile(it is used just css to customize them on different devices) to not create so many thumbs for each device.
Thanks!
Hello
Ok, I changed this font size for block 18. I would like to ask you 2 more doubts about this.
1- I have block 18 big picture for main article on the website, because it has the size I think is suitable for my purpose. I notice that this block includes the article title inside the picture, it could be possible to move it below the picture?
2- As you said to me before, there are blocks designed by different modules… Is there any documentation to know exactly which module I must change for different blocks? I would like to change some articles titles size.
Thanks
Hello Ryuko,
The theme code was tested and optimized for best performance, we have a lot of clients and the theme works well on a large variety of hosts.
First, please make sure that you use the recommended server configuration for Newspaper theme, you can check our documentation for more details: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
There are lots of factors that influence the site’s page-sped. I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again.
To improve your server response time you can try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load), also consider using a cache plugin, we recommend the WP super cache plugin with the following configuration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
To improve the loading speed look the MySQL query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Also, you can use the speed booster to move the js and CSS at the bottom of the page, eliminate render-blocking, but not for all plugins. Check the System Status if the speed booster is active if you use other plugins than the tested ones. You can find some useful information regrading Speed Booster usage in this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/speed-booster-questions/
Also, you can read this guide, it may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
