Hi,
As you can see your page content is ending at the sidebar last article is – http://screencast.com/t/aE1pZAbis4Q8 and then start latest articles(Popular on your site) which is another content added automatically when you use page template wit articles. A solution is to display more articles(not only 3) on BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT block – http://screencast.com/t/wEaJggxoc
Thanks!
Hi
We had some issue in the last update with this settings and he hope to fix it in the next update. Meanwhile you can add this code: http://pastebin.com/ThVMqM38 to the td_config.php file like this: http://screencast.com/t/fkuChv4i4cP5
The news ticker it’s not visible because it’s empty, appears on the page as block but doesn’t have any content, http://screencast.com/t/25hvyjrwF You can try to delete and insert again the news ticker and see how it works, also empty the cache.
Thanks!
Hi
I found an javascript error on your site http://screencast.com/t/jUYsaPs5nX which may be caused by a plugin and it’s possible to affect the site functionality, so you can try to deactivate all plugins except
Visual Composer and also make sure you empty all caches then test again.
It’s possible that this issue with saving settings appears because the server security module blocks the access to admin-ajax.php file or the file it’s not found. Try to verify if this happens when you save settings in other cases in theme panel and also verify the console for error while saving the settings on the Theme Panel, usually it displays a 403 or 404 error.
Contact your server administrator and explain the situation, as it’s requested many times during the a save the file it’s treated as threat so it’s banned. You can report false positives to your server administrator to remove it from the banned list.
You should also check the max_input_vars directive from you php.ini file and make sure that it’s set above 2000, you can check this in system status section within theme’s panel: http://screencast.com/t/V8MumQISR
Thanks!
You have to play, know and move the blocks and modules. Its quite possible to make a frontpage like The Verge with this theme. I grabbed a couple of ideas from that site.
Hi,
I’ve also tested this an it seems that the tag and category by id filters aren’t working and the post number limit is also not working.
I couldn’t find the reason for this but we will try to fix this as soon as possible.
To work around this you can use a page template without the latest articles section ( default template or page builder with title ) and add that section using a block, that way you can customize the result as you like using block filter settings.
Thanks for reporting this!
Sooty for the inconvenience!
A few little tweaks to finalise the design for magazine site using newsmag.
I’m using Newsmag and it’s got some really excellent features, I know I’ll be recommending it when this project is done!
1.Header Style
There are lots of really great options for the layout of the header, but I seem to need the only combination that’s not available. Style 7 gets close, but I’d like the top and main menu colours to go full width. Style 10 gets closer but the logo area is too deep.
IS it possible to have this tweak with some CSS?:
Full width top menu, full width main menu, centered logo with depth thats the same Style 7.
2.Social media buttons
I have these in the top menu and in the sidebar. Social connections are going to be really important for this site, so we’d love to have these quite a lot bigger. Can the social follow links be made bigger?
And is it possible to have the social share buttons use the same style, rather than those blocks
3. Category layout, article list
I’m using block 12 to show my list of latest posts when i need to add extra lists of articles and the M8 and M11 styles for category pages. I’d love to add a 1px line between each post so that they are a bit more seperated.
4. Mega Menu settings
I’d like to add some variation in the mega menu layout. Is it possible to use a premium mega menu plugin to add different contents to each column or would this cause errors with the theme? OR are there options that I missed within the theme? A sample of how I’d like the menu to look here:
http://theeverygirl.com/ Text column + recent post featured image + top articles
5. Article titles in Big Grid
The gradient really helps to improve the readability of the article title, but is it possible to have the text appear in a box instead, with maybe an opacity so the the image still shows through? The box would have to respond to the length of the title. Again, they do this on http://theeverygirl.com/
I’d really appreciate your support on this. I’d like to stick with the newsmag theme!
Thanks in advance 🙂

Hi,
If you use hide category on post/category page it will hide the category tag on articles from that specific category and also on category page – http://screencast.com/t/XWp09gfJ – http://screencast.com/t/FET7DchPOEk
Enabling category tag on a specific module it will be applied only on that module, but some blocks are made using also the modules so it will be applied also there. For example designing block 1 are used these modules – http://screencast.com/t/ocrqYJ6At
A solution will be to use a specific module on category page where you want to hide/display the category tag and use/don’t use a block that was created by that specific module. In the category tag on modules is also specified where is used every module – http://screencast.com/t/TIpJBzsT
Also you can use custom css to hide the category tag on a specific block.
Thanks!

Hi gyus,
– my Block settings are missing something, no more „border top” and „color preset” options. Have a look at this print screen: http://i.imgur.com/eW0mYDl.png
– i added a news ticker justy above the slider here: http://www.culturavietii.ro/ but it is not visible.
I’ve removed all the blocks from the sidebar and the footer. The error count has reduced from 35 to 3/per page (only the main content displays error). Please fix the issue because i would like to add the blocks again.
Yoast SEO has had numerous bugs, check the changelog sometime to see how many bugs they have had. My contention was simply that using Yoast SEO as a “comparator” to anything else related to bugs, is not a good metric.
Total number of changelog items is clearly not a good metric for determining how buggy software is. There’s no way for a developer to anticipate how their software will work once it’s installed in a million websites. Without an analysis of the major releases, subsequent point releases, and any discovered negative impacts to the entire user base, you can’t just call WordPress SEO plugin “buggy”.
H1 is useful on home page; H2 also useful for topical elements such as section heads, but not so much for story heads ad they are ephemeral; meaning, they change daily, so they are not sticky and therefore not relevant to long-term, long-tail SERPS placement.
Blocks/modules that contain “featured content” or “most popular posts” can live on the home page indefinitely. I would argue that most niche site home pages do not change daily. If someone adds new content every day, they are likely more “authority” or “news” than “niche”. Niche sites rely on on-page SEO more heavily than authority or news sites.
If my homepage contains an H1 containing “Best Sprocket Reviews – SprocketReview.com” and an H2 link containing “Samsung Turbo Sprocket Review”, does this provide zero SEO benefit to my article in your opinion?
I only speak as an SEO expert having been building websites since March 1995… but what the hell do I know?
That’s all great but in this thread you suggested that short posts don’t rank, missing alt tags I defined are not a theme concern, 800-1200 word original content in lieu of on-page SEO is adequate for “the best SEO”, and H1 & H2 do not provide the benefit on homepages and archives to warrant adding them to the theme. I don’t think SEOs would agree with this.
Having the theme selectively add H1 to the home page is not as hard as you make it out to be. In one of my themes it’s accomplished with a single IF statement.
Having the theme add H1 and H2 to the home page and archive pages will help more users than it would hurt. Almost all of the sites listed on page one of the showcase thread are missing H1 and H2 on their home and archive pages. Sure, we can say that these users are responsible for knowing and correcting their own SEO. Or, the theme can help users who don’t know any better. The latter option is clearly better than the former.
One might also argue it’s useful to inspect the demo of a theme before buying it…
I actually mentioned the header issues to TagDiv before buying the theme (5/4 email). I purchased the theme anyway because I liked it and planned to pursue getting the SEO issues fixed. TagDiv has added the H1, H2, and Alt Tag issues to the list so, so far so good. I’ll be running more SEO tests on the theme when I get time.
…then using it, then posting numerous times how bad it is or buggy, vs. requesting possible changes politely?
I never said Newspaper was bad or buggy. To the contrary, in this very thread I said “I love the theme”, I said Newspaper was “awesome” and I said Newspaper “is not buggy”. All of my replies to TagDiv have been polite. You are clearly mischaracterizing what I said.
All this effort to block adding two HTML tags to a WordPress theme. Geez…
<div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/pt_BR/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/CoisasQueSCFala/videos/856367347783449/" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore">

Dont work, video not loading
Hi,
The only difference between featured video and an embed video is this – http://screencast.com/t/rFdBubTcBJX Please make a backup of your current file and see if you still have this issue.
There is no option to set title for Big Grid block if this is what you mean, but you can use this code in a RAW Html block – http://screencast.com/t/LZ3OyMqqqP – http://screencast.com/t/jKSMztqCkW
<h4 class="block-title">
<span>
MOST POPULAR
</span>
</h4>
Just use this code and replace it with your text. If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hi,
The Editor Picks block from footer display featured articles, but you can change the predefined footer style from Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/lPjaLc9mvk and add your widgets in each footer columns from Widgets section – http://screencast.com/t/I7DKNWMO
Thanks!
Hi
Try using this css and replace the other one i gave you:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu-full, .td-header-sp-top-menu {
display: block!important;
}
}
it should work fine as you can see here: http://screencast.com/t/RdMUB9sk but like I said above the elements don’t have style properties and may not be displayed fine.
Thanks!
Add a block to a page in page builder (here, I used “block 12”).
Delete the default value for the “custom title for this block”.
Save the block.
Now, edit the block again and the above field is again filled with the default value “Block title”.
If you don’t pay attention and save the block title without removing the value manually this block title will show on your page.
IMO this is an error. The default value should not appear there again when just updating a block. I guess this could be avoided by using the HTML5 feature “placeholder” instead of setting the value attribute.
Hi Alin,
thanks for your reply and the explanation.
I have another suggestion that you might consider for next version: If there is only 1 article to show in a slider the whole slider code is not needed. So, why don’t you just output the single article? And only if there are more articles the slider code is actually included.
Then, the bug is avoided but the block is working no matter how many articles there are.
Thanks!

Okay. Well, I’m disappointed to hear that because it was not a problem in the old version. And, I’m not at a position to hire a professional to handle that. I’ll try to manage by adjusting the current logo within the fixed width and height. It would be nice to see a logo size customization option in the near future.
By, the way, I’m in love with the new version (except few problems like the Google+ link and logo resizing)
Also, one of the block needs care. The block 18 doesn’t look like it should. The main image overlaps on the second. For reference take a look at when I simply implemented on my homescreen.

Hi,
It usually happens when loading the font file (which contains those icons) from another host/url. Check your browser’s console if you have an error like this – http://screencast.com/t/fKy2k43k9kc
The solution would be to load them from the same url as the site or try this solution – http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co
Thanks!
Any help on this would be great. I have an authors page (http://www.honestcarreviews.com/authors/) using the Authors box and also an author profile but when I click on the link I am re-directed back to the home page.
I have also set up a page using the About Me block (http://www.honestcarreviews.com/graham-ferguson/) expecting this is where the above pages should link to.
Why is this not working as there is no documentation on this, please help!

Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer, install and activate it from here – http://screencast.com/t/sICGwGTQXQTh and check the version – http://screencast.com/t/pSDK3ooFurWV If you need to update the Visual Composer plugin, please delete the old plugin and update the latest version. Also remove the Child theme for version 4 and upload the version provided with the theme files, you can find it in /code folder. Please note that this is an upgrade, Newspaper 6 should be regarded like a new theme and custom modifications, custom css from version 4 will not work anymore and you will have customize it again, but were added many features in this version(blocks, modules, sticky sidebar..) so I guess that it worth the update. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!

Hi,
I want to remove some demo content such as Editor Picks just above the footer. When viewing the page itself there are no blocks showing for this demo content, how can it be removed?
Thanks

Hi,
Not sure why you have this issue. If you use pagebuilder try to add your shortcodecode in a text block on your page. Also you can paste the shortcode in a custom ad from Theme Panel > Ads – http://screencast.com/t/1w1j6rNrNv and use Ad Box block to display the ad on the page – http://screencast.com/t/iaVzNFiEwHb as the theme ad system was designed to work also with shortcodes.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option to display author role/job and you will need custom modifications to achieve this and if you don’t have basic php/html/css experience I suggest to get someone to help you with this as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
You can try to add a field, check this solution – https://thomasgriffin.io/how-to-add-custom-user-contact-info-in-wordpress/ and you should have an option to add the job/role on profile. You have to echo that field something similar like description here(for author page) – http://screencast.com/t/IJdnlwfSOCLM and also here for authors block if you create a page with all authors – http://screencast.com/t/kvn9WY4B3
Thanks!
