Still having the issue. The errors in the console are all coming from (or trace back to) the DoubleClick ad network (Essentially AdSense). They shouldn’t be affecting mobile vs desktop tap space.
The issue is one I’ve seen before. I don’t know if it’s related to the theme but I’d imagine so since switching themes automatically fixes the problem. When using a 3rd party provider of AdSense ads there is this transparent block (320×320) that appears below ads. You can’t see it, but it covers up menus usually. This time, the header ad was covering up the first position in the block on mobiles. Added height: auto !important to the img tag in the custom css for mobiles and problem solved.
I had to do the same for the sidebar ads as well a while back. I had a grid up top for a long time which, like the menu and logo – uses a higher z-index value so the transparent block fell beneath it and wasn’t an issue.
Container limits on images in ad spaces (I only use theme provided spaces for ads) would be a smart addition to Newspaper and NewsMag (where I first noticed the problem last year). But this is resolved for me now. Thanks for looking into it, Alin.
Like the way you list your posts in front page, and for the social share button in the list, what block/module are you using in frontpage ?
Hi!! I can display the post time but I have a problem, I display 2 different time.
The recent post block displays the correct time but the others, with the same code display other time, I think that this is the time when the theme was loaded.
What I am doing wrong??

I like to have a css code to change the titles color from white to #dddddd on “Big Gride 3 and block 14,
And a css code to hide the tile on some gride and blocks as well…thanks in advance
Hi,
yes this is what i mean.
How can i change my sidebar blocks?
Thanks,
Jonny
Hi
You can use and replace the current blocks with ones that display thumbs like block 7, 8, 11 etc. more details about blocks layout can be found here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/blocks/
If this is not what you mean pleas provide more specific details.
Thanks!
Hi,
A solution would be to create a new block which uses module mx5 used on Big Grid 4 – http://screencast.com/t/sKkpOyylx
Just check how the other blocks are built – http://screencast.com/t/ExHy1I5QEz
You need something like row > mx5 + mx5 > /row – http://screencast.com/t/iGlHrTgO9
And check the api documentation on blocks – https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
Module mx5 can be used on the new block so there’s no need for a new one.
And you may probably need some custom css.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
If you’re referring at big grid 1, that use module mx6 to display the small images. Any of theme’s current available modules can’t be used to display two posts instead of four in the grid, so a solution would be adding a new module and theme’s api system can be used to create you own module and use it in the grid: https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-modules-introduction/ then the big grid block can be changed here: http://screencast.com/t/RYgHdDrK
Hope this helps
Thanks for the message!
Hi
Try this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/eyxwXDuyFVG
.block-title > span{
background-color: #B14646;
}
Thanks!
Hi
1. Not sure what you mean but if you have a VC layout like this: http://screencast.com/t/OYlhsccc31P4 and you want the 1/3 colon to be scroll down with 2/3 colon, just add the td-ss-row class like here: http://screencast.com/t/hIaH3ZAtd
2. You can add a border bottom for each widget from sidebar using custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/8oqq9Hrmi
.wpb_widgetised_column .td_block_wrap {
border-bottom: 5px solid red;
}
This css applies only if you’re using a widgetized sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/pAqqTD30
Let me know ho it goes and provide more details if this is not what you mean.
Thanks!
Hi
The pingback_url parameter should displays the pingback XML-RPC file url: http://screencast.com/t/l39D6FZuw9Q but in your case the url it’s empty. This issue could be caused by a plugin so you could try by deactivating all, leave just Visual Composer active, clear the cache ant test again.
Regarding the css errors these appear because it’s not recommended to use css code inside div tags.
The theme generate a custom css for each block, depending by user’s options, but this code cannot be included in style.css file. This problem it’s present on our demo too: http://screencast.com/t/XDK7S2xZytif but does not affect the page load.
Thanks!
Hi,
The tabs shortcode was renamed by the Visual Composer developers from version 4.6 and unfortunately the css code from theme doesn’t apply on tabs block. I have add this on our to do list and we will try to adjust it in a future version of the theme. Until then please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://pastebin.com/9TqhCnCM – http://screencast.com/t/cmd7NiC8
Thanks!
Hi,
I need to modify footer content blocks, namely I would like to replace POPULAR POSTS block with something else, where I can control this?
I looked in Widgets, but there all Footer sections are empty?
Thanks!
Hello Denjom,
The titles you are talking about are actually the block titles. They can be edited for each page from the visual composer in page edit by clicking the little pencil icon for each block like the example below.
http://screencast.com/t/Jfm2svsFdFrI
Thank you for your message.
Hi,
Replied here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/slider-full-page/
If you refer to the header template, there are some full width header styles – http://screencast.com/t/nSPqtxbNRMq when the background color/image is not used. When it is used the site will automatically switch to boxed version.
If you refer to the page content unfortunately the tag div block were not designed to be stretched using the Visual Composer row option, sorry. Like I said in the other thread I added this on our list but I cannot promise you anything.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can check this, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Also please note that I’ve referred to the widgets titles color – http://screencast.com/t/QpH3wKXkj
Here is an example – http://screencast.com/t/sdi1Rwut3Arg – http://screencast.com/t/Hdo4K0yKc The theme’s blocks have also an option in settings – http://screencast.com/t/I9Q87Vr4xU
Thanks!
Hi,
1. I guess that this is what you want to do – http://screencast.com/t/UtORBEL3Y
.td-big-grid-post:hover .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before {
opacity: 0.3;
}
2. You will need custom modifications to change the thumb size for each module used for Big Grid and increase the margin between them – http://screencast.com/t/XeQkMx7dbhW I suggest to hire a freelancer to customize Big Grid for you, as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
3. If you want to add a hove color for articles title in Big Grid you can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/ehfidfhfaCqE Just change the big grid number and add your color.
.td_block_big_grid_1 .td-big-grid-post:hover .entry-title a {
color: red;
}
4. Not sure what you mean, please provide more details.
5. The excerpt length for every module can be controlled from Theme Panel > Excerpt – http://screencast.com/t/ur5noHK5vGx
If you want you can also use the excerpt section from post settings, but the settings from panel will not control this, all text that you paste will be displayed – http://screencast.com/t/rardM7tu0
Thanks!
The theme doesn’t have an option to set a template for articles from a specific category, if this is what you mean and you will need custom modifications.
This would be an excellent addition – are there any plans for this in the future, along with the same option for custom post types?
Hello
We have tried very hard to find it but failed, could you please tell me where to create a tab block like this?
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/tabs/
we want to put it in hoempage
thanks

Hi, you can also try to add the url manually using this from the block settings: http://screencast.com/t/fLgm1JarR
An obvious way to do this is to simply use Big Grid 4 multiple times as needed and let infinite load handle the rest, but my concern is that doing so will result in far too many queries running something like a dozen loops on the initial load of the home page.
So my questions are:
- With big grid 4 loading 2 posts per instance, how insane would page load and server load be if I used that grid for 24+ posts on the home page?
- How would I go about either altering big grid 4 to display more than 2 posts per instance, or create a new big grid that uses grid styles, looks like big grid 4, and accepts a post count parameter?
I assume #2 can be done via the Theme API but the documentation isn’t clear on grids, only blocks and modules. I definitely want something that can be protected through updates without a child theme, but a couple of edits per update is fine too. This is still slightly experimental but big grid 4 with grid style #4 looks amazing and shows a lot of promise, so I’m willing to commit to a fair bit of work to make this happen. I need some advice on getting started though.
Thanks.
If you want SB to work properly and not to break your site, then you have to modify (or ask authors to modify) each plugin or theme, which are not following the good coding practices. Speed Booster itself is only trying to rearrange files positions, it is not a caching or minify plugin, so you can run your website without it too 🙂
Exactly, that is what I am doing with my site. Not using the speed booster plugin because it is better without it. I mean I am using plugins that are not tested by Tagdiv. Like All In One SEO and that to me I like better. Some other plugins too, and I rather not have issues with Speed Booster that actually slows the site more than without the plugin installed.
Speed Booster is not a forced plugin to use, but just required and its optional.

So we’re trying to tweak performance after a long dialogue with our managed wordpress host (Synthesis). I hadn’t appreciated quite how much of a performance hit the theme can take on a server if all the “cool” bits of functionality are activated. We were starting to have 3 – 5 mini (60-120 seconds) outages on the site every day.
The main issue seems to be the number of times admin-ajax is hit on the server – we’re being told it’s thousands of times per day and after a bit of research on this forum and the latest (v1.5) of the theme we see there is quite a hit on numerous elements. So far we’ve done the following:
– Enabled Optimized ajax pre-loading on Mega Menu and the few blocks on the homepage that have ajax filters
– Disabled post view count
– Disabled comment count
– Disabled related content (replaced with Jetpack Related Content that offloads that to another server)
– Disabled more articles box
We’re going to monitor performance from here and see how it goes but wanted to see what other elements folk here would suggest monitoring and possibly disabling? Main next culprit would be Ajax View Count but i’m concerned about caching causing wrong pageview counts (although with the post view count disabled the only thing this would power now would be the trending now box on the homepage and the popular this week list in the footer).
Thoughts?
Hi,
I wanted to change the block called Big Grid from being one big image and 4 small images to 1 big image and 2 small images. I have a developer who can work on it, I just want to know which module to work with and what the easiest way to do it would be.
Thanks,
Sarah
