Hi
The theme doesn’t have an option to add text on columns but you can use Visual Composer to achieve that. First you need to enable it for posts: http://screencast.com/t/Jh1zE0tL then use a text block on a layout with the desired number of columns: http://screencast.com/t/JrJ1zZK4J – http://screencast.com/t/gibZlJhNmDFV If you’re using within a post you will need some css customization, so add a custom css class in raw settings: http://screencast.com/t/kF1TDaqeTNH9 then the css code in theme panel custom css like here:
.text-colons.td-pb-row [class*="td-pb-span"]{
border-left: 0;
}
The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/CjZRWuWgZiFH
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello Pandian,
Please make sure you update your theme to the latest version and also update visual composer. (It comes with the theme) https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/. The old accordion element is deprecated and you need to use the new accordion that comes with the latest version of visual composer. Unfortunately you will have to recreate your FAQ section.
As for the repeating posts, i could not see them repeating. It is random as you said, but a theme update could fix that as well. Just make sure the blocks are set to display latest posts not random ones.
Let me know how it goes!
Best of luck!
Hello Paul,
You can add a block element to the sidebar. For example a block 16: http://screencast.com/t/f85wDwKFB, then configure the settings to it like title, category filter,number of posts to display and pagination (load more button).http://screencast.com/t/jDvj8vdb6h – http://screencast.com/t/gu75zK04xIa
result: http://screencast.com/t/wS81a5XVut7
You can read more about block settings in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hi,
You can use a Pagebuilder with Latest Articles template for your homepage and you can control the number of post and module – http://screencast.com/t/BXOufy4hQe For this template you will have classic pagination(numeric).
If you want to display your latest articles using a block, you can limit the posts and set load more pagination – http://screencast.com/t/pVqHoQ8RjVUr – http://screencast.com/t/JUJGOUhJqdI2
Thanks!
Hello,
If you want to use the video demo, you can import just the layout without content from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/PF1H95NhiV
You can then chose the block style from block settings in visual composer to get the colored image overlay: http://screencast.com/t/5P2Jhvils – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-3/ Chose the big-grid style you want. you can also see them here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-grid-styles/
WHen you create a new block element in visual composer you can chose the style from the block settings: http://screencast.com/t/FOh0OB5Xm
Thank you!
Hi
Yo can delete or change the block title from block settings in Visual Composer page builder: http://screencast.com/t/fp0Ka3qIo For more informationg regarding the block settings please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/
Thanks!
Hello,
There is no option in the theme panel for that. The letter spacing maybe comes from the font you use for these titles. You can reset the letter spacing with CSS for each title or for all titles at once. It seamns all your h4 titles have this option.
Try this custom CSS for all the titles:
.td_block_wrap h4 {
letter-spacing:0px!important;
}
Or if you want to target a specific block, you have to get the class of the block with your browser inspector:
http://screencast.com/t/6rr8yJTYDSCd
Thank you!
Hello George,
Thank you for your kind words.
Unfortunately the theme has no option to do that. You will need custom work in order to do it. You can find the related articles file here: http://screencast.com/t/fVg9v7J7. It will not be an easy job to remove each section from the tab layout and place it on the post page. We suggest you hire a freelancer if you really want this done because we cannot offer any custom work at the moment.
As an alternative, you can try to use visual composer on posts and setup a few blocks but this option is not tested and can create some issues. You can check the option here: http://screencast.com/t/VIK0eLoAsJT, but you will have to add the blocks on every post you make if you use this option.
Thank you!
Hi,
1. Just set a description for your category(ies) – http://screencast.com/t/48oLwJpE3E and set style 6 for your category, also upload a background image – http://screencast.com/t/BhtuUzhR
Please provide a link so we can take a look if you have issue with this.
2. If you want to change the size of a specific thumb you have to edit td_config.php file. Here you can find and the thumb size that are created and used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/iN6Z1VaVqQw.
As you can see this size is used on more modules and blocks, so if you don’t want to change this for all elements, you can easily add a new size there(just copy all the thumb code and change the size) – http://screencast.com/t/sLm5MMcGf and use it on a specific module(for example module 10 is used on block 11 ) – http://screencast.com/t/SyNHPWYo Don’t forget to regenerate your thumbs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
The theme doesn’t have an option to change the background color for content, but on page content if you use Visual Composer pagebuilder you can add a background color to the row – http://screencast.com/t/szuzQftGrOm – http://screencast.com/t/Awsua5q1b1K
Thanks!
i have figure it out this way as temp solution
//add bottom ad
if (td_util::is_ad_spot_enabled(‘content_bottom’) and is_single()) {
$content = $content . “<div><small>Reklama</div></small>”;
$content = $content . td_global_blocks::get_instance(‘td_block_ad_box’)->render(array(‘spot_id’ => ‘content_bottom’));
}
however after each update it will be deleted.. is there any hook from child thene to call this?
cheers

Hello George,
Is ‘latest stories’ perhaps your page title? I have tested this on my end and this is the result i got when using a page title and no title on the left block: http://screencast.com/t/V6QblNh6D
What you can do is delete the page title and name the block Latest stories or just name the block something different than the page title. If there is no title to the block on the left and a title present on the block on the right, they will not be aligned. http://screencast.com/t/xuUFTiYt
I hope this helps.
Hi,
I just installed Newspaper theme in my website, PanduanSaya.com. Just finish my edits but I found out a few things not working properly:
1. My mega menu not showing sub-categories. I followed the tutorial but can’t get it to work
2. My ajax filtering or pagination in block (homepage) not working properly. I clicked the next/previous, but somehow it takes to the top of website, and the ajax does not change the page that it should be – it just takes you to the top of the website.
3. My news sticker also having the same problem like ajax filtering in block.
Here are few of my settings, hope it helps:
– I disable lazy load, because it causing my images not showing
– I tried optimized pre-loading in mega menu preload, not working
– page attribute for my homepage (visual composer) is default template
– I use Incapsula CDN
Hi,
I do not use on your website Google Fonts.
How to remove the download Google Fonts?
How to remove these lines:
<link rel='stylesheet' id='google_font_roboto-css' href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=...
<link rel='stylesheet' id='google-fonts-style-css' href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=...
Hi,
I’m having an issue with thumbnails size. Not all thumbnails dimensions are created for my featured images and the result is the one you can see here, with the image that is not cropped and overlaps the contents below (Block 18)
I ran both “Regenerate thumbnails” and “Force regenerate thumbnails” plugin with no result.
If I see their output I see that not all dimensions are generated for each image, as you can see here
(the one of the screenshot above should have been td_696x385)
Finally, this is the part of my td_config.php file that goes about thumbnails sizes. All thumbnails sizes are active in the theme control panel
/**

* Thumb id => array parameters. Wp booster only cuts if the option is set from theme panel

This issue seems to be fixed somehow. I’ve deleted blank lines in another block and this problem is gone.
I’ve tried every block to create a article contents in page but this’s one problem.

How do i cut the words to show no more 200 words? and follow by readmore.
Hey guys,
Great theme! Just had a couple questions…
1) How would I go about setting up category based images with the category text centered as seen here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/template-style-6/
When I add a background image in the category based settings, the image seems to be positioned behind the site and the area where the category banner should be remains white (with the text off to the left)..
2) I’d like to convert this site http://muaythaicampsthailand.com over to the newspaper theme. The size of my current featured images is 200×130, but the closest block to that size in newspaper is 218×150.. I would most likely be using block 15 with infinite load..
Is there any way I can override that 218×150 size and set it to 200×130 so I could avoid the hassle of resizing and re-uploading all my current images?
Also, the site is currently using a dark background..
Is that possible to replicate with the newspaper theme?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for your reply.
And nothing changes after following your guide.
After that, I have create fresh site with latest version of NewsMag theme(V 2.2.1).
– Remove all plugins and install 2 plugins are: tagDiv Social Counter(Version 3.0), WPBakery Visual Composer(Version 4.7.4)
– Install “Default demo” from “Install Demos” tab.
Go to Pages > “News – Front Page”:
– Add Block 1: http://imgur.com/SlpWE91
-> Result: http://imgur.com/cvB0bo5
How to fix it now?
Thanks,
Minh
Hi there,
How do I delete or change the title blocks on the theme’s home page?
For example, there are colored blocks with categories such as “Fashion Week” and “Holiday Recipes” that I do not want on my site. How do I delete these?
I installed everything according to instructions. When you modify the homepage is not using Visual Composer adds features and blocks. please, give me an advice. thank you
We’re using Block3 on our front page to display 9 recent articles. See the section titled “POIMINNAT” on the right side at
The sort order used in the block is “Latest”.
But what if we would like to raise a specific old article (an article that is, for example, two months old) back to the section? How could that be accomplished?
Thanks again!
Fine if you disagree with me over and over.
We have a senior rep at AdSense and our usage has been reviewed and accepted.
Sorry your usage was banned.
Perhaps you need to read the TOS in future; I sure did. I’ve been part of the Adsense program since in beta. SO I do know more about it than you.
If you were blocked/booted it was likely for some other reason as they would have given you warning before actually booting you for non-compliance, based on my own experience on behalf of clients.
So, again – for those who think the newbies on here know what they are talking about – they don’t.
If you use the smart bar properly, to not focus on just ads, and your ad is only part of the content then it’s fine.
Read the TOS again — it relates to “bringing unnatural attention to an ad” — which is not done if the whole sidebar is sticky, and the ad is not the dominant element.
Sheesh. Sorry that can’t through your thick skull.
I don’t know why I bother with some of you folks.
In fact, I fuc*ing give up.
Good bye all.
Hi
I am not sure what you mean, but if you want to set a title for the ad block that can be done in Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/wSLT6335 – http://screencast.com/t/9dGFTjlXd6iR If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
The theme render google ads so if you set a custom value in theme panel, the ad’s size should change according with your settings. Try to clear all caches and test the site again again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi
Seams to be css problem, on block 1 appear some wrong classes: http://screencast.com/t/skVlyLmQm Please make sure you updated the theme according with our documentation, also the Visual Composer plugin must be installed from the same path: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also clear all caches, deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Is it possible to tell me, what I have to change, to achieve this? Block 3 should show posts from the same tags in the sidebar widget.
Thanks!
