Anyone have any idea how to fix this? Thanks!
Hello,
I’m using Block 4 on some posts and it’s displaying as 3 columns instead of 2. Is there a way to make this 2 columns? I’m using the right sidebar, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
OK.. so this is weird. I uploaded the plugin from the new theme files and activated it. Once I did that visual composer re-appeared.
The only thing is now the editing features don’t work. I can’t delete and duplicate content blocks, but can’t edit them or access the templates sections.
I’ve deactivated and reactivated all plugins one by one and deleted cache.
Can you look into this for me?
Hi Edward,
Please try the code below in Theme panel->Custom Css area.
.td-footer-wrapper .td-animation-stack:hover a{
color:#a8a8a8!important;
}
.td-footer-wrapper .td_block_popular_categories a:hover{
color:#a8a8a8!important;
}
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately speedbooster is an optional plugin and is not compatible with every other plugin. Sometimes it can cause errors when using it with certain untested plugins. It even has the disable function when detecting untested plugins (which people bypass). In your case it is the soccer-engine that creates the issue. Good thing you figured out the culprit. You can use speedbooster without adding the soccer-engine render blocks to it.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi
You can use products block from visual composer, this block allow you to control the products number displayed on the row: http://screencast.com/t/YX6LCHlwV – http://screencast.com/t/7KU64jJPzWq5 You can find all woocommerce blocks in visual composer here: http://screencast.com/t/7JPEzQcZxl
Thanks!
Hi,
@Healthills, please follow the same steps with single post and for category you have to use function below:
if ( ! in_category (array('cat-id','cat-id'))) { ?>
menu container
Here, http://screencast.com/t/dut2LkmLOy you can see how to find the category ID.
Please note that if you use this method and you have the sticky menu enabled: http://screencast.com/t/WwiZxvu5cfv the images won’t be displayed on that post because a js error.
@Hamzah, if you want to hide your main menu from particular page you have to use the page id that you want to hide.
Please try the code below in Theme panel->Custom Css area, like this: http://screencast.com/t/8hF2EXqv
.page-id-X .td-header-menu-wrap {
display:none;
}
Where X is your page ID. Here, http://screencast.com/t/S1qVQRbgFT you can see how to find the page ID.
For your second request, you can show different header ads in different page if you add some function in your ads.php file, like this: http://screencast.com/t/f7EsUBQq
if(is_page('page-id')){
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
}
else {
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_block_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'header'));
}
?>
If you want to show header ads only to front page, you have to use is_front_page() function. The custom ad you can find it in Theme panel-Ads -> http://screencast.com/t/NujAwoIjF
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
I am trying to display both portrait and landscape thumbnails in block 20. Is there a way to do this?
Hello,
I have checked your website and it seems fine at the moment: http://screencast.com/t/sgiNODSInVr5
Let us know if you managed to fix it or it is a random error.
P.S. we have encountered this issue before, and mainly this solution worked for most users: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately blocks were not meant to display normal pagination. That is why they use ajax next prev. The theme does not have an option for this. It can only be done with custom modification
You can find the code for the pagination here: http://screencast.com/t/vTNxsdoSFAxi
Unfortunately i cannot provide a quick solution for it because it will be no easy task. The whole pagination code will have to be rewritten and modified. You can hire a freelancer to do it for you if you want as we cannot offer any custom work at the moment
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve seen other users have had this problem and solved it by using the latest version of Newspaper.
I’m using v6.5.1 which I believe is the latest version.
This problem is on the latest version of Chrome Version 45.0.2454.101 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 14.04. Firefox on Ubuntu works fine.
The Newspaper Theme works fine in Chrome on Windows 10.Here is the problem….
When I hover over a mega menu in Chrome nothing happens.
After a page load – the FIRST time I click on a mega menu, the menu displays for an instant then disappears.
When I click a 2nd time on a mega menu, it displays.
BUT when the menu displays – the buttons to select categories do not work. Items from “ALL” categories are shown. This cannot be filtered to a specific category.
The correct hover behaviour works fine in Firefox.
Can you help?
🙂
I have resized the image to 534X462px and the first block works in the big grid works fine. But the gray bar still appears in the beside horizontal section and also beside the images on the bottom of the horizontal section.
Hi, I seem to remember seeing this in the documentation but now can’t find it.
The responsiveness of the site works well, but I’d like to be able to change what visual composer block appears at the top of the homepage when viewed on mobile. I’m using grid 8, but would prefer the mobile view just to put the posts one after the other vertically (without the horizontal sliding feature).
Hi,
I wanted to edit my homepage and when I tried to all I got was the shortcodes for the blocks but no visual composer interface.

Hi
Try this css, it should work fine:
@media (max-width: 768px){
.td-big-grid-post .td-post-category{
line-height: 10px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.td-post-category{
bottom: 10px!important;
}
.footer-email-wrap{
margin-top: 10px;
}
.td_block_trending_now{
margin-bottom: 20px!important;
}
.td-grid-style-7 .td-big-thumb .entry-title {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
}
You can increase the values if the result won’t change after the css it’s applied.
Thanks!
I have regenerated all the thumbnails and checked all the options in the “Thumbs on modules and blocks” section. But the grey gradient appers in the images. I am using biggrid 3. Please inform me the image dimensions so that the image fits perfectly in the section.
Hi @teodormiu
Thank you for your kind words!
1. Try this guide and regenerate the thumbnails for all your images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ clear all caches and test again. If the image is large enough it should be displayed fine in thumbs.
2. If a post doesn’t have a featured image set the theme load a placeholder image when this option from theme panel is enabled: http://screencast.com/t/qXc9ADVOzKOf To set a custom image you need to add an image in /images/no-thumb directory: http://screencast.com/t/VBrS8hN53 then replace in get_image() function the name of the image like here: http://screencast.com/t/CYZRDHlJs
3. In order to identify the ideal/average size you need to figure out which is the largest container that will display that particular image and upload an image bigger than that container. Then there is the post template to consider. If you use post templates with big image backgrounds (style 6, 7 or 8), then your uploaded image has to be bigger (especially on style 8). You need to asses your website’s layout (posts and block elements) and come up with an average image size that will work on smaller containers but also keep good quality on bigger ones.
You can read more about thumbs and featured images here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
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 media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at 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/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
The category color was implemented only for posts as a design choice. Unfortunately there is no plan to change the category tag colors for modules/blocks at the moment.
Thank you.
Hi
You can display pages in big gir by adding this custom post types in grid’s filter like here: http://screencast.com/t/byK5MDwxTU Please note that the page will appear in grid witout featured image because they weren’t designed to have a featured image or to be displayed in blocks/grids: http://screencast.com/t/GsKtQunqzg
Hope this help.
Thanks!
I have a javascript code from Adperium that tracks visitors that are using Adblock and it says to add the code to just before the </body> tag but I do not know if I need to add to custom code in themepanel or to a part in the files. Where do I put it? I tried the custom HTML because it says it puts it on bottom of page. It did not work.
I might just not use it. It is just to track to see how many people are using Adblock while visiting site.
After updating from 2.2 to 2.3 to 2.3.1 and plugins I have some pages displaying:-
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Try various things but had to disable WP Super Cache then it worked ok…
Is there any reason why WP Super Cache might now be causing this problem when it worked before…?
Hi Andrei L.,
Thanks for the quick reply. As the site is in development now I cannot provide you a live example.
I have checked on my end and indeed if I use dropcaps on posts it works fine. So the problem is isolated to pages and must have something to do with the CSS settings not being used for pages.
Can you please provide me advice on what to change to have the CSS settings for all those related things (blockquotes, dropcaps etc.) also be applied on pages?
I do not see any reason why it should not be used on pages, I see lots of possibilities to incorporate them in pages as well. Is that an easy fix?
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked this on my side and for posts the drop-caps works fine even if I use a text block (if I have Visual Composer active for posts): http://screencast.com/t/iUc11Z99TM – http://screencast.com/t/E5ysxMijj
The drop-caps weren’t designed to to work on pages, the css classes are different that’s why the css doesn’t applies. Please provide a link where this issue appears so I can investigate it closer and maybe I can provide a solution.
Thanks!
Hello,
The latest articles title background is affected by the theme accent color: http://screencast.com/t/IpIEnNv3s3
For the ad you will need to edit the theme files to place the ad inside the page.
You can use this code:
and place it here: http://screencast.com/t/tY7rDT4F
Just make sure you have an ad placed in the custom ad 1 spot:http://screencast.com/t/OXINjrlHV
Thanks.
