Hello,
The font section of our theme as you probably seen is very comprehensive. You can change most fonts from the it. On your page, it depends what you want to change. modules ad blocks can be affected by their setting not the page setting: http://screencast.com/t/X6WqtmqJnt
Please provide an example of what did not get changed and where you changed it from so we know what to look into.
Thanks.
I want to add this module to the sidebar of my site but i don’t want the block to display thumbnail. How is this possible?
Hello,
If you want to change all of the link colors from yellow to something else, it can be changed from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/mP6aRe2GKS
This will change every link color but also the block headers.
If you only need to change the titles, then you can use css. Quite a bit of it.
This would be the css to change all the links to red:
I hope this time it’s the good one.
Thanks.
Hello insidestl,
You should use a block 15 as sidebar, in Visual Composer to achieve as you wish. The result you should see here:
http://screencast.com/t/OJxTisgpP For more information about sidebar, please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message
Hello,
You can use different grids to do that. If you want ‘sticky articles’ you can add a big grid to your homepage. something like http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-5/ and select the articles you want in it: You can use the post id filter (version 6.6 and up): http://screencast.com/t/uriftQiPlZ yopu can get post id’s from here: http://screencast.com/t/Lpi8KhiNhDK then you can add id’s in the id box from block settings like for example 123,135,136 and now only those particular id’s will be displayed.
Then you can use another big grid underneath with normal sorting and your problem is done. Make sure to check this option to not have doubles on your homepage: http://screencast.com/t/mMjqMMx7K1E
I hope this helps
Thank you!
Hello,
You can change the module titles if you want by editing the code:
http://screencast.com/t/8rBeDODnTI or for the block titles you can edit the pagebuilder files: http://screencast.com/t/y6tjqCsL
You can set the titles in reverse if you wish.
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately the theme has no such option at the moment. You can try to find a plugin that does that although I cannot make any suggestions as social plugins are not tested with our theme. You can try a few of them out and see how they work. Some will require implementation on our modules and blocks and coding knowledge will be required.
Thank you!
Hello,
This error i’m afraid is very vague and does not point to anything. It is a general error and many people get it. I believe it happens due to your server configuration which is not responding, it could be due to a delay or it could also be a temporary issues so you can try this a few times and if you still get this error please contact your host provider and let him know about this, ask them to unblock our demo in order to retrieve the theme data. It could also happen due to your wp install or other plugins might also cause this so you could also test this on a fresh wp install and let us know if you still get the same result. Also make sure that your permission for the upload folder are set correct. You can try this by trying to upload an image in media library. If the process succeeds then the permission are ok. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) if you have access to it or if not please contact your hosting provider.
Hope this help.
Thanks
Hello,
In order to do that, you will have to use the ad counter above and adapt it to a block 21 by altering this function: http://screencast.com/t/zsobDTbfbD
Unfortunately you will need to get some help if you cannot manage it as time does not allow us to offer any custom work.
Thank you!
Hi
To achieve that you have to change the page structure a bit. You can use the page template default and add a new block to duplicate the latest article part. You can use block 3 for example to reproduce this part of your site: http://screencast.com/t/8a1cBZ4Vyc Your layout in Visual Composer should be similar with this one: http://screencast.com/t/tuRD1YJNSC To make the sidebar scroll down with the page you have to make it sticky: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-smart-sidebar/ – http://screencast.com/t/5avIgqnDO1
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
You can see the post id’s here if you wish: http://screencast.com/t/AaUSdz5Q
You can use id’s to filter the block by id: http://screencast.com/t/d0wuKvGjTxD
The code for the posts on modules can be found here: http://screencast.com/t/KtHfQGHvvyO3
Thank you!
I am trying to figure out a way to create this 2×2 sidebar element on my home page. There really isnt a block or grid in Newspaper that does this that I can find. Just wondering if you had any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Doesn’t have to be. They are only relative sizes not levels of importance.
In semantic terms you might want the h3 content titles to have higher relevance than h4 block titles. Does not really matter since all that data is temporary on most news sites — meaning the h3 tags for story titles might be gone next day or hour on busy news site.
You could likely hack that in the modules settings if it really matters to you. Doesn’t matter for SEO purposes or most machine readers.
Hi Cris,
But why on my Home site, the titles of the posts blocks are involved by the H4 and the posts within those blocks are involved by the H3? Shouldn’t it be the opposite?
You can create a text block in the page grid, or a simple sidebar box, to put an h1 wrapped short description of your site.
h2 is usually only for sub-heads, like a large section header. But not necessary, semantically. But you could add a new “row” to a section of elements with something like “Music News” wrapped in h2.
Only have *one* h1 on home page.
Hello,
I have the website proddigital.com.br with the theme of you. I realized that the sources of my WP site that when if has blocks of posts, the titles of these blocks are H4 and the titles of the posts are H3. For example, if my site has the LANGUAGE and category on the Home I build a block with only the posts from this category and I put the name of the language block, so in case WP does the title Languages with H4 and the titles of the posts as H3. Shouldn’t that be the other way around?
I realized also that on my WP site, home is not located the H1 and H2. Is this normal? Shouldn’t have it both ways? In case the H1 of the page would be the same as the title tag? And the H2 would be what?
Att,
Rodrigo Carlos
Hello Catalin,
thank you for your answer. Unfortunately it does not work.
I have used the code below:
.td_block_1 .td_block_2 .td_block_3 .td_block_4 .td_block_5 .td_block_6 .td_block_7 .td_block_8 {
padding-bottom:0px!important;
}
The following custom code that I use works:
.td_block_6 .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb{
display:none;
}
.td_block_6 .td_module_5 .td-module-thumb{
height:0px!important
}
Hello pupi,
The code above is not working for you, because the code is valid only for Newspaper 4 and if you are using the new version of Newspaper you will be changed the code, like this:
.td_block_1, .td_block_2, .td_block_3, .td_block_4, .td_block_5, .td_block_6, .td_block_7, .td_block_8 {
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
}
Also, you should add the other blocks in code (td_block_9, …etc) if you are used these blocks in your website.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi
We’re glad that you liked our theme.
You need to install the Social Counter plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/ The plugin can be found in Newspaper-tf/plugins folder. Also you can locate in Visual Composer pagebuilder the column for social counter block and remove it if you don’t want ti on the page: http://screencast.com/t/yHnq0d8yhsa
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
you can use ads the same way with a do_shortcode function. For a block 21 you need to edit module 16 and add this code to it:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]')?> like so: http://screencast.com/t/bmQjF5k6
This will insert an ad after every post in the module: http://screencast.com/t/xkKmZTqi9
It will need a bit of css to position it though if this is what you want.
Thank you!
Hi
You can chance that color from theme panel > theme color: http://screencast.com/t/nYFaY5kxbcp or use this css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/7Y9vfxsh2I
.td-pb-article-list .block-title > span{
background-color: #00b6db;
}
.td-pb-article-list .block-title{
border-color: #4db2ec;
}
We didn’t tested the qTranslate-X plugin with the theme so it’s possible to appear some issues with it’s functionality, sorry.
Thanks!
Dear Newsmag team,
First, thank you for creating such a cool product. I have used it for ca. two months and everything works perfect!
However, issues come after I have upgraded to WP 4.4 and Newsmag 2.3.3 (for your reference, my website is http://www.insight007.com)
1. Some articles can not be accessed any more
some articles can still be accessed (e.g. the big picture of the block on the top of the website)
some can not be accessed (e.g. the four small pictures on the right side of the block on the top of the website)
At first, when I click those articles, the note is something about “php file, exceed max length (260) …” (sorry, can not remember the exact note)
Then, I have updated my newsmag from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3. The issue has not been solved and now I get “500 – Internal server error”
I have already called my host, they have checked all the links and told me that the issue comes from the theme …
2. Block looks different from before
after updating to 2.3.3, I have found that the two “Block 1” in the page do not look as they should be anymore … (you can check it from the website)
It will be really great if you can support me on these two issues. It is really urgent! Thank you very much and have a nice day!
Best,
Hi
If you’re referring at the carousel image block this can be added from Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/ULerThW7h – http://screencast.com/t/eol7AihrEn The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/r8CLLnwb2BLP
If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello,
Block mx4 is listed in td config as it is used by block 15 but all mx modules have the loop display option set to false because they will not work inside of loops. The mx modules are created in such a way that they only work in blocks. If you want to implement them in loops, then you will need to change the entire module functionality and this will be no easy task. We recommend hiring a freelancer to help out on this one as we cannot provide any quick solution for it.
Thank you!
Hello schindyguy,
If you are talking about the ads on category page, the simplest way to add this on that pages are to use a shortcode for each category top post template used, like this: http://screencast.com/t/icImxD0wIoVc
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]')?>
Also, if you need to remove ads from certain post/pages, please check the topic below and implement this on your custom post type. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/remove-ads-in-certain-postpage/ You should put the condition in ads.php using a custom post type function. For more function reference in WordPress, please check the WP Codex, here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference
If you are not aware the steps to do this thing, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this thing for you, because we cannot provide custom work for the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
