Hi
@shae101s unfortunately I can’t provide an exact answer but we consider to add in the next theme updates new post formats for Newsmag.
@nherious to hide the new grids on mobile devices you can use media queries like here:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_block_big_grid_7{
display:none!important;
}
}
This css hide the big grid 7 on mobile devices, just replace the grid class with the corresponding for the grid you want to hide.
Thanks!
Hi
@Roney please make sure you have the whatsapp plugin installed: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/whatsapp then go to plugin settings and set it where you want to appear on the post/pages: http://screencast.com/t/VQ4vE5bbAI4
To make the button visible on desktop add this custom css in theme panel > custom css:
@media (min-width: 1024px){
.wabtn_container {
display: block;
}
}
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option to place ads on category page, you will need to edit loop.php file and add it manually using do_shortcode() function, like this – http://screencast.com/t/o4OtAI3IJ
$adcounter = 0;
$adcounter++;
if (is_category()) {
if ($adcounter == 2 or $adcounter == 4) {
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
}
}
Result: http://screencast.com/t/fOlOSl9j1
If you want additional customizations and you don’t know how to do it, I suggest to get someone to help you as we cannot provide any type of custom work at this time, sorry!
Thanks!

Hi,
You can disable the automatic positioning for the article bottom ad by removing this condition: http://screencast.com/t/PWgzx852 then place the ad after the pagination function in posts’s template file, like this: http://screencast.com/t/pgCbyqSPF
Use this line: <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="content_bottom"]'); ?> and make sure you do the same for all post template files in which you need this.
Thanks

Hi,
If you have this issue only with sidebar ad, it seems to be an issue and it will be fixed in the next update, sorry for inconvenience! Until then please try this quick fix, edit td_config.php and add this code – http://screencast.com/t/bdSIXWJrU
'-- Select an ad spot --' => '',
Please also re-add the Ad Box block to your page and select again sidebar ad to display, update the page and it should work.
Thanks!

Hi,
You have to add it inside the loop.php file – http://screencast.com/t/6YLFcO3V – http://screencast.com/t/LfA5kbiMNG3C
To make it display only on category pages or only after 2 or 3 posts you have to create conditions. If you don’t know how i suggest that you look for a professional developer to help you with this task.
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_block_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'custom_ad_1'));
Thank you!

Hi,
Try to provide a link using our demo url as I’m not sure at which block do you refer – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ Do you refer to the IOS slider – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/
Or do you refer to the smart sidebar(sticky) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hi Lucian/Support
Things have gone quite well replicating ad positions. A few questions as I finish off the move to Newspaper 6;
1. TagDiv ad block – for sidebar does this only have one ad and one widget? The one where you enter code in Theme Panel? I have used multiple Adrotate widgets instead.Can I use multiple instances of your TagDiv ad widget? Different ad code in each?
2. I have property pages – they are custom pages from Estatik plugin. in the shortcode from the plugin
[es_single_property] in generates the single property house or apartment – I need to remove all ads from that page and all like it – remove header ad/sidebar (sidebar which I’ve used a plugin for and removed the sidebar so that’s done) and all other banners – just need a clean page or no other real estate agents will pay to list properties with us. My previous theme had a tick box to remove all ads in WP editor for posts/pages. Is there some custom CSS or other code that I can put in to help with this?
also need all ads removing on ‘All Listings’ – ‘For Rent’ – ‘For Sale’ (accessible from dropdown menu) How can I do this?
3. Style 8 (posts) shows badly on smartphones – the parallax seems to corrupt
My staging URL is – http://147.e4d.myftpupload.com
Thanks so much
Pat
Hi,
You can use the plugin shortcodes also in the theme ads sections from Theme Panel > Ads – http://screencast.com/t/zY1bQVFe6Pv as the theme ads system was designed to run shortcodes – https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/ and use Ad box block to display it on the page – http://screencast.com/t/uI2YhfPgM
Thanks!
Hi,
You can block ads on error page using is_404 function like this – http://screencast.com/t/B9Jf4MXhA3k
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_404
if (!is_404()) {}
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you use a plugin that allows on widgets? You can display it using Widgetised Sidebar block in a page. Just create a custom sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/d7ofRNvp add your widget(s) to it from Widgets area – http://screencast.com/t/zlONt4YFj0g and display it on the page – http://screencast.com/t/PnNuggkOwzY
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a problem on my home page.
Big Grid 4
+
Block 5
The items arent responsive. And there is a CSS problem I think. The boxes exceed the width size website.
My website : http://bit.ly/1MH6GwW
Thanks
Hi,
The featured filter option is not referring to the featured image it refers to the featured articles(posts tagged as featured), please check – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ Also the footer Editor picks block use the featured sort order – http://screencast.com/t/Kbxh5zfB
Thanks!
Hi,
You can set the title/content length from Theme Panel > Excerpt section for each module/block – http://screencast.com/t/isMo7FUn Can you provide more details about your issue?
Thanks!
Hi,
To have h1 and h2 to your homepage, just add a text block anywhere on the page(you can add it in the sidebar for example and use it on more pages) and add a title and a small description. We also will try to find a better implementation in a future update.
Thanks!
HI
I noticed duplicated post when i click load more to see more posts
You see Edin Karamazov (musician) was the last in first block then i click Load More and there he is again .. few days ago i had two duplicate (different) articles.
Any idea why is this happening?
Thank you
Found it in other post in this forum, Jeff… Try the following custom css and it will disappear
.td_block_slide .td-post-views {
display: none;
}
BASIC SEO TIPS:
Note that Google rolled out new version of PANDA recently. They continue to refine placement, and are putting emphasis on mobile friendly, ORIGINAL CONTENT, “answers to questions,” https capability, pagespeed insights, sitemaps, and the usual stuff still relevant:
a) inbound links from organic sites, not paid text links or text ads, help placement
b) blocking bad links from “bad sites” such as low quality scrapers – you can disavow bad sites (we do this with sites like ‘searchnaked’ which had thousands of links to us)
c) proper schema markup
d) limit junk posts (e.g., youtube video and one sentence — is not original content)
e) limit content you “steal” from other sites then link to them as source — write your own version, get your own photo; that helps your ranking
f) site structure matters; good navigation, prioritize the POST over categories, tags, etc.
g) don’t sell text links, avoid popups, interstitials that block content loading for Google bot
h) READ the free Google guide to best practices for SEO
i) write original headlines – check your headline to see if it already exists; do something different!
j) posts should have at least 5 paragraphs so it looks like original post and not excerpt of another post
k) don’t use “next page” for home page; conflicts with your category indexes
l) update site regularly — updates every 6 weeks shows lack of new content
m) create your own images where possible, vs copying somebody else’s
n) learn to use your Google webmaster tools (now “console”) properly
o) don’t overload pages with too many ad modules from adsense, amazon, other ad system, etc. — too many ads pollutes your pages
p) use h tags for your relevant subheads in your posts, not just bold sub heads — couch your subheads as answers to questions people might ask “The right way to boil spaghetti” … etc.
q) make sure guest posts are not also being posted on other sites (!!)
r) share the heck out of your posts to social media, but use the social media worth sharing to and ignore the stuff nobody uses anymore (sorry, delicious, diigo, Technorati, etc.)
s) don’t use sock puppets for clicking your ads; paid likes on social media; or similar
t) answer comments on your posts to create dialog
u) make backups of your site often and carefully (!) — if your system crashes, and you’re off the web for prolonged period of time — very bad for SEO after xx days
v) do you have a backup plan if your host goes out of business, or GoDaddy DNS crashes again and your site is down?
w) consider spending a small amount on Google ads to promote your best posts or site on the topic you most want to be found under, like “horse breeding” or whatever
x) make sure your site is verified with all the top search engines
y) ignore stupid things like so called “ranking sites” like Alexa which are completely wrong on traffic, including their inability to track shortcode use
z) check your site regularly to ensure it’s secure ! Make sure you have security plan. Make sure you have privacy policy on your site.
Share and enjoy! 🙂

NOT FOR REPUBLICATION!
In Newsmag, I use CSS to define the size of ads by custom css, but it seems the theme override the custom css.
How to change it back?
My adsense code
<style>
.ads1 { width: 728px; height: 90px; }
@media only screen and (min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 321px) { .ads1 { width: 320px; height: 50px; } }
@media only screen and (min-width: 322px) and (max-width: 479px) { .ads1 { width: 320px; height: 100px; } }
@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 1100px) { .ads1 { width: 468px; height: 60px; } }
</style>
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle ads1"
style="display:inline-block"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-12345"
data-ad-slot="67890"
data-ad-region="enterpr1se_head"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
The theme will change to
!-- A generated by theme -->
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><div class="td-g-rec td-g-rec-id-header">
<script type="text/javascript">var td_screen_width=document.body.clientWidth;if(td_screen_width>=1024){document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-12345" data-ad-slot="67890"></ins>');(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});}
if(td_screen_width>=768&&td_screen_width<1024){document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:468px;height:60px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-12345" data-ad-slot="67890"></ins>');(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});}
if(td_screen_width<768){document.write('<ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:320px;height:100px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-12345" data-ad-slot="67890"></ins>');(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});}</script>
</div>
<!-- end A -->
PS: I have disabled the “Show Post Views” option, but doesn’t work on blocks (like Slider), only posts. I have been searching for an option to remove it from the Slider, but can’t find it. Hope that you (tagdiv) can send me some code or something to solve this problem.
Thanks!
Hi Marius,
Just so that we have a basis…can you confirm what the default font size is for the block title?
Thank you very much for the comments and help.
Hello, I know you are not the developers of Visual Composer but just integrated it, but I hope it is also in your own interest to help solving this bug. I cannot contact the developer because I have it only bought in package with Newspaper.
VC is taking out paragraphs in text blocks at each page update, when the mentioned TinyMCEAdvanced option is enabled. I created a short screencast to illustrate the issue:
https://app.box.com/s/nzdgx7p1hb2wfbbnbsgr7z6720doxz9a
Thanks for the great theme, now I just hope that I can use VC properly soon.

I would like to add more spots for ads in my site. My problem is this… All the spots that come built into the theme, I need to be able to 4 more sets of those. We have four distinct areas of our news site in addition to a main homepage. The site has a page for every town, and right now we are covering four towns. We want to have ads to be exclusive to each of the four towns. The site is mycommunity.news. And then we have mycommunity.news/Mahopac, mycommunity.news/somers, mycommunity.news/Yorktown and mycommunity.news/northsalem.
Please let me know how would go about making something like this happen.
Thanks!
When I go to my drop down menu and select a main block it drops down a list of categories. When I highlight the category and pull up that page the top has an error that reads this:wp booster error:

The rest of the page seems to look normal.
