Hi there,
I have some pages that I would like to display in several blocks on the website and on the homepage. I know I can also set the post type of the block to page, but somehow it is not showing up.
Let’s say I create a page called ‘Keyboard’. Which settings do I need to adjust so I can have this specific page displayed (also) in the block / Big Grid?
Thanks!
Hello,
I am trying to add our review score into Block 15. We use another component to do our review scores so I would love to add the needed code into that block spot to ensure the score is visible on the front page. I just need to know where the code for that block is. I have hunted though the files, but for the life of me, I can not find it
Hi ibomax,
Another possibility to disable the zoom efect at pictures would be in Theme panel, like this: http://screencast.com/t/u2oTVBVZ For more information about this, please consult our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/loading-image-effects/
You can customize the block in Visual Composer->Block settings like that: http://screencast.com/t/3UEIxozz3 You can filter the posts after more categories. In this filed you have to put the id category, separated by commas: 15,15,25, etc. Here http://screencast.com/t/l3gEvIG5C you can know how to find the category id.
Hope this helps.
If is not what you want, please provide more details.
Thanks.

Hi
Sorry for the delay, we don’t work in weekend.
To display latest article published by author replace the code from: td_block_authors.php with this one: http://pastebin.com/r4eMrWV9 – http://screencast.com/t/BoabVJVUjt
Thanks!
Hello,
The theme uses different thumbnail sizes for all the containers. You can see a list of these containers and sizes here: http://screencast.com/t/tZoV4BN3
If the featured image you upload is smaller than the container (in width or height) it will display with a grey strip to fill in the blank space. The theme crops your images but does not upscale theme. There is a plugin if you want to use it. It is called thumbnail upscale which stretches your images to fill the containers, but the best method would be to check the thumb size used by that particular block element and upload a picture with bigger dimensions than the thumb.
As for the picture in your big-grid, i have checked your site and it displays properly. The grey area comes from the picture itself. The video shown has the grey frames effect: http://screencast.com/t/z9kLmF9Kj
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hi
Please make sure that you have some posts which match with your category/tag/slug filter. As a post be displayed in block must match all filters that you have set. For example if you set Category filter: A, Tag filter B, the post must be in category A and also have the B tag in order to be displayed in block.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
That is because the panel ad spot does not accept PHP code. You can use a plugin to achieve our goal, of if you do not want to use plugins you can modify the theme files but it will require php knowledge. You can modify for example td_block_ad_box.php and use the ad box element on your website.
Thanks.
Hi
1. 2. The article title is catted off at the default value from excerpt field, so you can increase that value for each module to display a longer title: http://screencast.com/t/9IAtoPinrTgj – http://screencast.com/t/aySHeQPGKiN From the same section you can set the excerpt length: http://screencast.com/t/n3iUghF0S – http://screencast.com/t/y8igxG1q
3 You can increase excerpt’s font size from theme panel > theme fonts: http://screencast.com/t/Kh2HobGviGn
4 The image position is given by the block’s layout, so you can use a block which display the image on left, like block 7 for example: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-7/
5 You can deactivate more article box from theme panel > post settings: http://screencast.com/t/SLZG6E9lz
Thanks!
Hi,

If i disable some of it, would it delete the files that have been created?
Thanks…

Hi mikezenmx,
For change the logo is an option for it in Theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/ZVwya5rObB . The theme does not have an option to re-size the slide show/block. Please provide more details about this problem and give me an example (screenshot) what you want to change. I need this for give you an accurate response.
Thanks.
Hi Sayeed,
For your first request, you can use a bit of css in theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/ktvjFQ2d
.td_block_wrap .td-post-date, .td-post-author-name{
display:none;
}
And for second request, there is an option to disable related articles within Theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/SncFbYr0E7 . If you want to add another widget in your post, i suggest to use a Visual Composer for posts. You can activate this like this: http://screencast.com/t/BZD6mfqMz
Our theme is not tested with Visual Composer for posts and also can appear several errors.
After using Visual Composer for posts, i’ll recommend to use the code below:
.td-post-content .wpb_wrapper {
padding: 10px;
}
Thanks and let me know how it goes!
Hi,
Not sure what you mean, please provide more details. The next/prev pagination can be set for blocks – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thanks!
.td-hover-1 .td-big-grid-post:hover .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb {
transform: none !important;
-webkit-transform: none !important;
-moz-transform: none !important;
}
this code helped me to disable zoom efect at pictures, theme / custom css. I have another question, for blocks… please check bahisokulu.com / i have lifestyle news block, and it has tabs like Business Featured Futbol Haberler ect. How can i add one more like this, because when i tried to add these texts not appearing, for example:
i want one block with all / news / sport ect… tabs to collect all categories under my news… Simply please tell me how can i add and customize this kind of blocks.
Hi,
Just tested what Fabio wrote but it doesn’t work for me. Block 19, Category Filter with one category and some tag slugs in the right field. The block is empty on my homepage…
Hello,
On this subject, can I filter by Category AND tag for my blocks ? I’d like to show articles from one category matching with some specific tags (slug or did).
Thanks.
Hello,
There is no setting to increase site width. Our theme works with a grid layout and increasing the width of the site will impact the blocks and other elements on your website creating undesired effects. It can be done with CSS but that means you have to style all the elements to fit the new wider layout.
(The mobile version of the site is already at full width: http://screencast.com/t/HGrc026b)
We hope in a future update we can implement a setting for width to our theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
1. The theme doens’t have an option to place ads in galleries or blocks content, you will need custom modifications and it is not an easy task. Unfortunately the time doesn’t allow us to provide custom work, sorry!
2. Please provide more details about the smartlist 8 issues as I’m not sure what you mean.
3. The classic(numeric) pagination cannot be used on blocks, only the nex/prev infinte and load more types of pagination are available there. You can change the page template to Pagebuilder with Latest, so your latest articles will be automaically displayed at the bottom of your page with numeric pagination – http://screencast.com/t/FYwQxBPIAN – http://screencast.com/t/WCnxjf2FxeO
4. Please check this guide how to use pagination on post – https://forum.tagdiv.com/posts-with-pagination/
5. Check documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
Thanks!
Hello,
You can use this custom css to achieve the effect you want:
.td_block_13 .td-module-meta-holder, .td_block_13 .td-module-meta-info{
background-color:red;}
.td_block_13 .td-module-meta-info h3>a{
color:white!important;
}
Thank you!
Hello,
I am trying to get new posts to work correct but as we changed theme the images, even when re-generated, does not display correct.
Eg. on the home page for thesouthafrican.com the first block it shows a grey area where the image does not stretch to / was not cropped.
What are the correct sizes also to use in
WP-ADMIN -> MEDIA ->
– Thumbnail size
– Medium size
– Large size
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
All our blocks are made using modules, you can make an idea which module(s) is used on a block, if you take a look to the excerpt section – http://screencast.com/t/NatOlDxX1A5 or Category tag on modules – http://screencast.com/t/UK96sG1I
Thanks!
Hello,
This is the default behavior when you set you block this way. After the 10 post limit you set, the other posts will display random which includes the ones already shown. The filter does not detect which post is shown previously so these situations can occur. Unfortunately for the random sort order there is no solution for double posts. This is on our list of improvements and in a future update we hope we will be able to implement an option to make these random posts unique.
As an alternative you can sort your posts in a different way or use pagination so doubled posts will not be as obvious.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
The theme doesn’t have a block with a two columns on mobile devices. I’ve found a solution by modifying the block’s 7 layout: http://screencast.com/t/cDzrKOTe but I test this layout only on standard mobile format and I don’t know how will work on different mobile version.
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_7 .td-block-span6 {
width: 50%!important;
}
.td_block_7 .item-details {
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 85px;
}
}
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi,
Increase the posts limit from block settings(to 6 for example) – http://screencast.com/t/xNqYSxlp
Thanks!
Hello Pandian,
I have checked your site again and saw the duplicate posts. It might have something to do with the way the blocks are set up. We haven’t encountered this error before so please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login information so we can inspect these blocks and figure it out. Please include a link to this topic as well. As for the plugins, we cannot make a recommendation because we have not tested any newsletter plugins. You will have to try a few of them out and see how they work. (usually people tend to use the more popular one).
Best wishes,
Bogdan

Hi playmyrequest,
Unfortunately, does not exist an specific block with this option, but another possibility would be to use block 16 with the code below: http://screencast.com/t/Z1IKMzIdGWUA
.td-block-row .td_module_mx7
.td-module-thumb {
display:none;
}
Everywhere in site, when you are using block 16 – td_module_mx7, the images will have display none.
Hope this helps and let us how it goes!
Thanks.
