Hi,
W3TC can be a bit heavy, it has a lot of options which may cause trouble if they are not properly configured. We only recommended it for page cache in the past. Now we recommend using WP Super Cache, we made some tests and it behaved better.
The Visual Composer plugin had some issues lately, they only appeared on some configurations. Check if you have the latest version of the theme (v.6.2) and the latest version of Visual Composer (v.4.5.3 ). If you don’t please update and see if the issue is still there. You could also try the Shim plugin but note that it works only with the elements (blocks) added by the theme – http://screencast.com/t/nmhhPPpa95 – http://screencast.com/t/KW0JP337pt – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newsmag-1-7-1-killed-our-server-again/page/3/
On our official demo we also use MySQL Query Cache – https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html
You could also check the error.log file to see if there’s any report related to this issue.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
For text block the font family can be changed for body and it will be applied also on text block content – http://screencast.com/t/qRp1UjSWa9r unfortunately for font size, style you will have to use custom css as there is not option in Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/ol5bsfw7vd25 or change to html editor and add inline css – http://screencast.com/t/xos8wa1J2Iw9
.wpb_text_column p {
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Try to add the following condition inside block 3 file – http://screencast.com/t/467HrszVpnb
if (is_page_template('single-people.php') and $td_column_number == 3){
$td_column_number = 2;
}
If it doesn’t work try this one:
if (is_single() and $td_column_number == 3){
$td_column_number = 2;
}
It checks if the template file is single-people.php and it sets the columns variable to 2.
Let me know if it helps.
Thank you!

Hi,
The theme wasn’t designed with custom post types in mind, we are working to improve the theme functionality in this area. On blocks there’s an option to set a custom post type but there’s no taxonomy option, we will include it in a future update. – http://screencast.com/t/d79f7Ua4yfqy
If you’re in a hurry and you don’t want to wait for our updates i suggest that you hire a professional developer to add such functionality, it’s a complicated area and unfortunately i cannot provide a quick solution, sorry for this.
Thank you!
4.5 and 6.2, I desactivated all and cleared cache of browser and the same problem. VC is set on latin. I can send you the access if you want to test it. Also i wanted to ask how i can edit the font size and line height of the text block.
Thanks for the help.
Hi,
Can you provide an example, a link to an articles that should not be there, as I have checked some of your posts from block 1 and did not found one.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can add a condition to block the inline add on post on that specific post using !is_single('ID') here – http://screencast.com/t/C4tVlb0n9 take the ID of that specific post like this – http://screencast.com/t/DH1ocW0vg7
Or if you want you can hide it using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css:
.postid-ID .td-a-rec-id-content_inline, .postid-ID .td-g-rec-id-content_inline {
display: none;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Do you refer to the featured image? That depends which post template you use, also in Theme Panel > Block Settings you can see thumbnail size that is used also on post styles/modules/blocks – http://screencast.com/t/K383RqyNa2
2. This can be done only if you modify it in the code, please check crop mode – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size#Crop_Mode and change it in this array – http://screencast.com/t/i15eTrB6f
Thanks!
Hi,
Try to order by date and change to take post from 1 month ago instead of 1 week – http://screencast.com/t/0HndGpSA – http://pastebin.com/y4B1QqW1 If you need more customizations please check – https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters if you don’t have basic php experience I suggest to get someone to help you as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Please regenerate your thumbnails using – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/ and then purge your files if you use CDN.
Please check our demo (Features menu item) – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ to see theme’s blocks/modules/grid…
Thanks!
I was able to find the following document on your support site which I forwarded to my host and below is their response. https://forum.tagdiv.com/pagespeed-guide/
____________________________________________________
Hello,
To confirm, that’s the response from the author of WPBakery? The site linked there is tagdiv.com, the site where tagDiv Social Counter mentions – hence why I’m asking.
Additionally, in looking at that guide, items 1, 2, and 5 are handled by W3TC. I’m not sure why they’re suggesting to just use W3TC for page caching – if you do not do database caching, your site is still going to get slammed.
Further, with the sole exception of some CSS added by A5 Custom Login (or whatever that plugin is), none of the CSS/JS is currently blocking. The only request that is is the second request to the server – that request is handled by custom changes to wp-config.php that it appears that plugin makes.
The only thing that I have not done is to optimize the images on your site – doing this requires that you take them and resize them to the size you expect them to be on the server. I do not even know if that is currently an issue, but I haven’t resized them as that’s not something that we do.
The major point to take away from this however is simple: I’ve done as much of the stuff as I can do from this guide. However, there are quite a few interactions between your different plugins that prevents me from taking a couple of the key steps listed in this guide.
Thanks
Jack Hayhurst

Hello,
I have changed blockquote so something more suitable for my needs: http://screencast.com/t/KVxcrypSVT1
However, I don’t need all that margin on the left. I have checked my css and there shouldn’t be any margin at all. How do I do?
This is the code I am using:
.td-post-content blockquote p {
background-color: #FCFCFC;
border-left: 2px solid #E65A1E;
padding: 15px 23px 15px 23px;
position: relative;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px !important;
text-transform: none;
text-align: left !important;
color: #555555 !important;
}
Thank you.
Hi, we are using the Newspaper theme (version 444) and trying to utilize the filtering for the blocks.
We have this one block that is showing posts that are outside of the categories we’ve limited to.
Screenshot: https://app.box.com/s/s8s9nbkpqt0uazobugpbcn7n7mnjnp2m
I have Unique articles: Disabled. I think I read that it has to be disabled for filtering to work.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
Hi
Try this custom css in theme panel >custom css:
.td_block_12 .td-read-more{
display:none;
}
.td_block_12 .td-module-thumb{
width:300px;
height:210px
}
.td_block_12 .td_module_11 .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb{
width:270px;
}
Use the excerpts settings from theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/nrdmNlN0
Thanks!
Hi
The border can be removed from Visual Composer like here:
http://screencast.com/t/WktRdoJF
http://screencast.com/t/WktRdoJF
http://screencast.com/t/N4V2liEgb
The video player can’t manage links to youtube channels, it only works with video ids like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-newsmag/ You can arrange the video into a playlist in youtube and after that just insert the link in player. The entire playlist will be added with a single link: http://screencast.com/t/A3X2gKmv
To re-size the logo use this custom css in Theme Panel-> Custom Css:
.td-main-menu-logo img{
height:40px;
}
Not sure what you mean, please provide more details. You can add a specific category to the article you want to display on multiple pages, then add that category on the pages with a block from Visual Composer.
Thanks!
I do realise that your theme is complex and very well executed, that you concentrate on only two themes and on only one niche, and that you give great an speedy support. I very much respect that approach, so please don’t get me wrong if I say this:
I have extensive experience on a “power user” level with dozens of commercial themes and a number of hand made themes. I am the admin of at least 5 WP-based websites actually online in parallel.
And I have never come across a theme that handles images the way that yours does. Again, I don’t mean to complain, I merely need to understand what’s happening so that I can act accordingly.
First question
I have now installed the Upscale Thumbnails plugin and (force) regenerated thumbnails. The result is, that all images included in one of your modules/blocks, i.e. in some kind of post list or slider, are displayed correctly > great! Thank you!
But one problem remains, the images on post single have not changed.
Why?
Second question
How can I manually adjust the position of where a crop is set? This is usually done with the plugin Post Thumbnail Editor. With “crop” I mean this: Assume that the image is large enough for the largest possible media size – no Upscale Thumb is needed > i.e. ideal circumstances.
The important content in this large image is only very small and in bottom right hand corner. For the very small square thumbnails td_80x60 size I want to focus on only this small area. How can I achieve that?
Hi,
You can use do_shortcode function to place a custom ad in header.php file that it ca be overwritten by child theme – http://screencast.com/t/tfSHbmlm and paste your code in Theme Panel > Ads – Custom ad – http://screencast.com/t/Ai0jnyHcOkh
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
You customize it using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/82VwxRmtg
Or if you want to register a new sidebar you can do this in functions.php from child theme – http://screencast.com/t/vrZ2ti3WJx – http://screencast.com/t/oVcC46g3DO
<?php dynamic_sidebar('extra'); ?>
register_sidebar(array(
'name'=> 'extra',
'id' => 'extra-widget', //the id is used by the importer
'before_widget' => '<aside class="widget %2$s">',
'after_widget' => '</aside>',
'before_title' => '<div class="block-title"><span>',
'after_title' => '</span></div>'
));
And place the sidebar in header.php like I suggested above with custom ad – http://screencast.com/t/E2EVTuZAHut it should work fine – http://screencast.com/t/Qg6RwbYoxA4r
<?php dynamic_sidebar('extra'); ?>
Thanks!

Hi,
The blocks receive a parameter which tells them on how many columns to be rendered – http://screencast.com/t/lgj9izPrU
Please paste a link so we could take a look, maybe we can provide some clues.
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately there is not option for list font on pages, you will have to use custom css for list from text blocks – http://screencast.com/t/o565UlyNsHe
.wpb_text_column li {
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 20px;
}
I have added this on our list so if more users will ask for it we will try to find a solution in a future update, it was added this option for post because the text content/list is used more often there.
Thanks!
Thanks for these.
– is that it is possible to filter the articles on a block so that it displays the popular posts by month or/and year (example: June or 2015); can you add rows on these cases >> http://screencast.com/t/eXJ2CaQe and put condition?
– How can it regenerates the thumbnails for the photos to fill the different frameworks on the sliders?
– is that there is a demo page to see the different features of the theme in v6.2? (format for each type of frame / slide / different shortcode / and all other features)
Hi,
There is an option to your articles to set quote on blocks, please check – http://screencast.com/t/GsYw6yujwo
Thanks!
Hi,
You need to customize this also for page like you did on posts, also if you want to make this change for all template you can try to add your double quotes directly in style.css – http://screencast.com/t/Wx9q6ADqROY Also you have Formats in a text block added with Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/o8KQBtfFxaw
Also the breadcrumbs are displayed on default page template only when pagebuider is not used – http://screencast.com/t/ykINOucHy4s or you can try to use pagebuilder with title – it should work also with pagebuilder content – http://screencast.com/t/Cgr95d2auNh – http://screencast.com/t/KdUtRwr6
Thanks!
Hi,
Please set also border style even you use border in text block, row or column – http://screencast.com/t/UxplZ92k8 – http://screencast.com/t/xL7p7qJE
Thanks!
