I don’t know a lot about Joomla but it doesn’t matter much which is superior, matters which one lets you make something superior. There’s more than the car, there’s also the driver and that’s why you are here trying to learn how to drive wordpress. I’m not defending wordpress over joomla, I just don’t want to say that something is worst when in reality I don’t even know it that well.

About images and thumbnails, yes they can get messy. If you don’t want image resizing (thumb generation) just go to options and set the sizes of thumbnails to 0x0 (zero), voilá, no more image generation. This has the downside of making your visitors download the original images all the time, even if all they are seeing is a thumbnail of them. Making thumbnails will create an image of 2KB to show a 100×65 thumbnail but people are free to serve a 70KB 700×357 image that will be displayed 100×65 anyway, downsized only pixel-wise and not KB-wise.

One thing though: You’ll see 3 thumbnail sizes in WP options but that doesn’t mean that your WP makes only 3 thumb regens, if some plugin or theme registers a new size, that new size will be created and you won’t see it in the options. Woocommerce “installs” 3 thumb sizes regenerations for example, and bam! suddenly you have 10000+ images in your media folder because every upload will be multiplied 6 or more times!

In that regard, this theme could get a bit of optimization. This theme is very beautiful but has lots of blocks, sliders, galleries and what not. So this theme registers a boatload of thumb sizes regens to fit all those blocks. After a while I figured out which blocks and sliders I prefer to use and those I don’t and so I commented out all those thumb regens I don’t use. This should be done, if possible, before running a plugin like thumbnail regeneration or all thumb sizes registered will be regenerated.

PS: support is always answering questions at the forum (during work time ofc, shown top right) but you can try e-mail, they are quick to respond, I wasn’t even their client yet and they answered pretty quick.

You need to regenerate thumbnails for your site once theme is installed to generate all the various sizes for the blocks/modules. You should not use the demo data for a live or real website, only for testing or client demo (speaking as a 20 year webdev myself).

You can of course simply upload images via FTP if you don’t plan to use them as ‘featured’ images — for ‘featured’ images you generally need to upload those via the media manager or use a third party solution/plugin (e.g., bulk uploader to media manager).

Or combo of FTP upload with plugin to move to media manager, e.g.,

For questions about how to use WORDPRESS — which is not part of the theme — you should of course check the millions of pages of help on the web via Google, and of course the WordPress CODEX .. often you can do searches like “image upload wordpress codex” to find help quickly.

You can change the default upload directory, and you can turn off the upload by /month/day/ options easily.

Obviously you should expect the TagDiv support folk to educate you on how the basics of WordPress actually works — only elements related to using the theme. Image uploading is part of WordPress and not a “theme” function, per se.

I don’t work here – so just some feedback while you wait for official reply 🙂

Hello folks.

I’m also having issues with trying to save theme settings. I’m using the latest version of both WordPress and Newsmag themes. I’ve disabled all plug-ins except for Wordfence, WPBakery Visual Composer,Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer, tagDiv Visual Composer Shim and tagDiv Speed Booster.

When in the theme settings page in the admin panel, I’m able to modify most of the settings without any issue. However, when I try to click on the Block predefined style section links to modify them, the ajax spinning icon just hangs and doesn’t pop open the menu. When I pull open the dev console in Chrome, I noticed this:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < admin.php:1

Things that I’ve tried:

Cleared both the server cache and the browser cache.

I’ve spoken with my host, HostGator and asked them to check the admin-ajax.php and confirm that it wasn’t being blocked, which they said it wasn’t. They also stated that the maximum memory limit is already set to 256, and cannot be changed by the end-user on a shared hosting account.

Reference: http://support.hostgator.com/articles/cpanel/php-settings-that-cannot-be-changed

memory_limit = 256M (MAXIMUM)

Per Chris’s link above, I also went into the wp-config.php file and added the following line of code:

/** Increased memory allotment to prevent Ajax Errors. https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP */
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

(The official WordPress.org article Chris showed said you had to add it in prior to settings.)

Please note, this has to be put before wp-settings.php inclusion.

You can see it in-line where I included it right after the absolute path section, and before the wp-settings.php section, here:

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

/** Increased memory allotment to prevent Ajax Errors. https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP */
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

Perhaps this is related, but when I’m on the front end, and try to use the left and right arrows to scroll through content in the various section blocks, the ajax loading icon just spins, and the console spits out the following error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token < madlymanly.com/:1

Any thoughts as to what is causing the syntax error message in the console? Thank you in advance for the help!

Thanks Alin, not a banner. It is a block for mobile Descktop and I want to be displayed on all pages. I use the same method?

Este es mi sitio:

Hi Alin, thanks for getting back,

I can see the theme doesn’t do this out of the box, and I can obviously change the color sitewide, or block wide, with css as I have now: http://fundforumlive.com.gridhosted.co.uk/

I’m really looking for some guidance as to how this can be achieved, not just a … we don’t do that.

It’s done on the post page, so it is doable.

I’m also looking to add the tags, styled as per the current post page sidebar widget on my dev site above to the thumbs.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sorry … hit return and somehow deleted my message.

Meant to say — you can try using fewer dbase queries by having fewer blocks on homepage, try having fewer queries in sidebar, possibly not use the “suggested flyout” and also not use the megamenu. The more “go grab stuff” items you have the more it slows down dbase.

ALSO: be sure to increase your default memory with both php.ini / host panel *and* in your wp-config.php file (WP defaults to 40MB unless you actually edit your wp-config.php file to increase; it needs to be at least 64MB with 128MB recommended).

Thanks for your help guys.
I decided to build the Authors Page using block to include easily social media, description and a bigger photos.
