Hi
The theme uses blocks, which can be manipulated in Visual Composer page builder, to build the pages. You can find more details in this regard here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Every block it’s built from one or more modules, depending by block’s layout. Here you can check the layout for modules: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules/ and also you can check it live on our demo: http://screencast.com/t/V1q24L1JbPf – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/category/module-1-category/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check our documentation about how to create a homepage – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ and also the block settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
You can check also our youtube channel, there are some video that can help to create your page like this one – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWqozuqmJk
If you want to use Visual Composer on posts you will have to enable it from Visual Composer Settings – http://screencast.com/t/5c485h2XG But don’t forget that the theme was designed to create pages using VC pagebuilder and the posts are designed to have default text content. However you can use Visual Composer on posts.
Thanks!
How to change the color of the font in blockquote ?

Hi,
Those are not the adsense ads. Those are ads I ran myself.
Here are the adsense spots that are showing blank:
See that white block above “most popular videos”?
that’s where the adsense code is*
http://www.screencast.com/t/JZsCOFkbHs
Also, the gap under the photo here is where there is more adsense code. Can you please have a look and let me know why it’s not showing? It’s been several days since I placed it and it’s registering in my adsense account.
Hi
The category tags displayed in a block can’t have different colors as they have the same css class and can’t be targeted individually. To achieve that it’s needed a function which generate a unique id for the category tag then use that id witin a css class to change the color. This is a complex task and I can’t provide a quick solution now. If you need this my advice is to look for a developer from sites like http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
The indicated solution works. To add the social sharing buttons in block 13 just paste this code: http://pastebin.com/Pjjxr6bn here: http://screencast.com/t/e4vydIC9Bvsm ten add this css in theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/VP7kQst0ytB2
.td-social-but-text{
top: 0;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
The speed booster plugin moves the css and js at the end of the page, this removes render blocking and improves the score on pagespeed, please check this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ But also to have a good score is recommend to use less plugins.
Please note that the speed booster was tested only with these plugins – http://screencast.com/t/hcjLnOqh4i2 and if you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled. A lot of people install the plugin without knowing what it does and after that they add many plugins and some of the them are not written fine, so the developer took this decision. If you want to always enable speed booster, delete this code from speed booster file: http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh
So please check your System Status to make sure that the Speed Booster is active – http://screencast.com/t/Gomyv89n7j0 and then try to follow the steps provided in the documentation to remove render blocking.
Thanks!
Please am new here. Can someone explain to me what is Modules and blocks in the Newsmag template
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have an option to make a specific blocks sticky. But a solution is to use do_shortcode function and place the Newsticker in the menu. For example if you use header style 1 – http://screencast.com/t/1DhmWTd8GK – http://screencast.com/t/G6ZyfzFQSn – http://screencast.com/t/1rwuAsuGMmE6
Of course enable sticky menu from Theme Panel > Header – http://screencast.com/t/6z8VxLneQe
Thanks!
Hi,
The theme uses the add_image_size() function and the featured image is cropped to different sizes(thumbs) used on modules/blocks. So for mobile devices it is not used another thumb and it is scaled that’s why this error appear.
To have a different image size for each device your will have to create a script to crop the image also for tablets and phones, but even then you may have this errors as like you know there many resolutions for these devices and I’m afraid it will be almost impossible to achieve this.
Thanks!
Hello,
I have a problem with the Tagdiv widgets in my sidebar. All other widgets work fine, but when I activate a special Tagdiv widget in my sidebar, my entire site gets messed up. The main content has disappeared and the content of the sidebar is suddenly fullscreen.
In my error log I see this:
“2015/10/21 11:36:41 [error] 2558#0: *22186 FastCGI sent in stderr: “PHP message: PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /var/www/comnie-limniones/wordpress/current/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_block.php on line 131” while reading response header from upstream, client: 80.100.41.11, server: http://www.nieuwetijdskind.com, request: “GET /over-ons/ HTTP/1.1”, upstream: “fastcgi://unix:/dev/shm/php5-fpm.comnie-limniones.sock:”, host: “www.nieuwetijdskind.com”, referrer: “http://www.nieuwetijdskind.com/product-categorie/online-cursussen/”
I have a test site on anther server, same version of the theme, same plugins and there the problem is not.
Hope you can help!
Sincerely, Niels
How can i stop certain pages from appearing on home page predefined blocks ?
How do i change image urls on predefined blocks on home page? How do i add and delete posts to article blocks?
By seeing the demo speed I purchased this theme but after installing, I am unable to get the speed. Tried to solve using methods discussed in this forum but still my page speed is “RED”
Hi
The settings > media section controls the individual images added in post/pages not the images displayed in blocks and modules. Those images/thumbs are generated by the theme and according with the layout a specific thumb will be displayed. The configuration you provided is right you can leave it like that, try regenerate the thumbs then test again.
Thanks!
Hi
Note that the Speed Booster plugin disable itself when an incompatible plugin it’s uninstalled. We added this measure to avoid conflicts with the plugins that won’t allow to move their resources at page bottom. To keep the plugin always activated please follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/HaOmyxJ45oX
We didn’t test the advance ads plugin with the theme so is possible to appear some issues with it. Try to remove the indicated condition using try this css and see how it works:
.td-visible-desktop {
display: block;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
I see that you use old version, please upgrade to the latest version of the theme using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and update also the plugins provided with the theme(Visual Composer, Social Counter..).
If you use an older version that 4, I recommend to do a clean install and recreate your homepage and check all the new theme features, blocks, modules. Please note that the Newspaper6 is practically a new theme, the whole code was rewritten, so old files customization or custom css will not works and you need to adjust it.
The latest version was tested and works with version 6 of the theme, I have also tested your fb id and it works fine – http://screencast.com/t/lJTufe5aC
Thanks!
Hi,
The tagdiv blocks were designed to work with default post types so you have many options to filter your articles on block(by category, multiple category, tags) as you can see in the docs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Regarding your issue to filter articles and events into the same block, I can recommend to try filter by tag option, so posts and events with the same tag will appear on your Big Grid block.
Thanks!
Hello team TagDiv,
Yesterday, I checked the outline of my blog using HTML5 outliner tool (https://gsnedders.html5.org/) and I had to disable both the mega menus and Related Articles.
Why? See for yourself (for the time being I have enabled them again so you can see):
I am not an expert at SEO or structuring a web, but I think the outline of this article should look like this:
1. How to show My Computer icon on Desktop in Windows 10, 8, or 7
>>>1.Show the My Computer icon on Windows 10 Desktop
>>>2.Show the My Computer icon on Desktop of Windows 7, 8.1, 8
2. RELATED ARTICLES / MORE FROM AUTHOR
>>>-
>>>-
And the worst thing happens when I disable both the related articles and Mega menus. The Heading of comments section comes on top of the Main Article heading and the resulting outline looks like this:
1. NO COMMENTS
>>>1.How to show My Computer icon on Desktop in Windows 10, 8, or 7
>>>>>>1.Show the My Computer icon on Windows 10 Desktop
>>>>>>2.Show the My Computer icon on Desktop of Windows 7, 8.1, 8
2.LEAVE A REPLY Cancel reply
>>>1.STAY CONNECTED
>>>2.Untitled Section
>>>3.Untitled Section
>>>4.Untitled Section
>>>5.Untitled Section
>>>6.Untitled Section
>>>7.Untitled Section
I had read somewhere that outline of the website does matter. This is one of the ways a search engine understands the structure of a website (Enlighten me please if I am wrong.)
Looking forward to hearing from the experts on the matter.
Hi, I saw that I can easily filter elements by post_type into: Visual Composer->Blocks->Big Grid Side.
I can filter “post” and “event” but I cannot filter by respective categories.
I would like to show in this block all articles of certain post’s category “A” and at the same time I would like to show all “Events Manager’s events” with a certain category “B”
Where “A” is a post’s category and “B” is a event’s category.
How can I filter in this way?
Thank you in advance.
Hi
1,2,3,5. Try this css: http://screencast.com/t/Vwb2w4el
.td-related-title .td-cur-simple-item, .block-title span, .td-big-grid-post .td-big-grid-meta .td-post-category {
background-color: transparent !important;
position: relative;
border-radius: 0;
}
.td-related-title .td-cur-simple-item:before, .block-title span:before, .td-big-grid-post .td-big-grid-meta a.td-post-category:before{
content: '';
background-color: red;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
z-index: -1;
-webkit-transform: skew(-30deg);
-moz-transform: skew(-30deg);
-o-transform: skew(-30deg);
-ms-transform: skew(-30deg);
transform: skew(-30deg);
}
.td-related-title .td-related-left{
border: none!important;
}
4. Edit the td_category_template.php file and comment the indicated lines: http://screencast.com/t/wzh6lDt2l2Ol – http://screencast.com/t/bs3sJsV5q
Thanks!
I meant that in my Block 13, I display 3 different categories. I would like each post category tag, within Block 13, to have a different color, depending on the category it represents (so I’d have 3 different color possibilities per total). i.e. category1 -> red, category2 -> green, category3 -> blue
From what I am seeing, the customization of categories from Theme Pannel>Categories can only attribute different colors to category tags for the post pages, whereas I am looking for a way to do that on a page and within a specific block.
Is that possible?
Thanks again for your answers.
*BTW, I have found this thread on the topic of displaying Social Share buttons on posts in a page https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/can-i-edit-block3/ but it refers to Newspaper. It seems that that request was solved but the provided solution links are outdated…
Let me ask you, by the way. “it requires customization to make it work with our theme modules and blocks” you said. Like what? Do you have an example?
Hello I have the following issue. I set my blog 13 as my main feed for blog posts. But while the images of the first 5 posts appear ok (cropped as they should) etc. Below the fifth post the image is covers the excerpt of the post.
I attach a pic to show you the problem.

Hello,
The documentation you read is about how to implement a custom post type. If you are looking to find how to create one, you can read this topic: https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types
Our documentation basically describes how you can use CPT with our theme and provides a demo custom post type called Books. The theme automatically detect custom post types and provides a few settings in the theme panel for them.
Please note that implementation of custom post types is still limited and it requires customization to make it work with our theme modules and blocks.
In future updates we will implement better CPT support and a more detailed explanation in our documentation.
Thank you!
Okay I succeeded to handle this.
Here’s the code I put in the CSS customization panel of the theme :
.td-footer-wrapper {
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}
.td-footer-wrapper .block-title {
border-bottom: 0;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: 700;
margin-bottom: 25px;
}
.td-footer-bottom-full {
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: -25px;
margin-top: 0px;
}
.td-footer-bottom-full .td-container:before {
content: '';
height: 2px;
position: relativ;
top: -10px;
width: 100%;
left: 0%;
margin-left: 0%;
margin-top: 0px;
}
