Hi,
You can find here all thumbs dimensions which are created and used by the theme on module/blocks thumbs and sliders and as you can see the largest one is at 1074 × 483 so you should consider using an image at least 1074px wide and 483px height.
You have to do some tests and see what aspect ratio to use, depending what blocks/modules you use as there isn’t an ideal image size so it can look good on all thumbs.
Thanks!
Hi,
Glad you’ve managed to get it done.
1. Regarding that block on authors template it can’t be done using the page builder as the author template isn’t customizable however you could try to create your block using the VC page builder then use the do_shortcode function to place block’s shortcode to the template here: http://screencast.com/t/uuJFRN3aWNvQ
Should get a result similar to this: http://screencast.com/t/TUGrkBES9rF
2. On author template the post’s section is given by the loop.php template and for the it can’t be set other pagination other than the numbered one so the infinite/load more pagination can’t be used there, just on blocks. Here is the pagination called on author template on each sidebar case: http://screencast.com/t/KKsV9rFB4 – http://screencast.com/t/SmJ0BQrns
Thanks
Hi,
The default padding added there is 15px – http://screencast.com/t/EecVUfXKv1 so if you refer to this you can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css to reduce it – http://screencast.com/t/rTpycQWjH
.wpb_tabs li a {
padding: 1px 5px !important;
}
You can also add an extra class if you want to apply this on specific Tabs block – http://screencast.com/t/0zTeIZfa – http://screencast.com/t/IKnPnnXOHu
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you refer to the blocks titles background color? Please provide more details about what you want to change as on the Newspaper demo page I see background only for Big Slide and blocks titles – http://screencast.com/t/jvJblykNquTf
If you want to change block title color you have an option in block settings – http://screencast.com/t/HOdK5VGwaRU – http://screencast.com/t/salf5VE7H
Also you can change the post titles color for modules from Theme Panel > Theme Colors – http://screencast.com/t/ONmTAu0T – http://screencast.com/t/Z6lOXofY6ZQ
Provide more details about what you try to change and also your site URL.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately theme doesn’t have an option to display a specific article on big thumb from Big Slider, you can try Marius’s solution and make that change in td_date_source.php but it will applied on all blocks – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-sticky-post-on-big-silider/#post-12938
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately you will need custom work to integrate events categories so you can use theme like articles categories on page blocks and it is not an easy task. I suggest to hire a freelancer to do this for you as we cannot provide any type of custom work at this time as we work hard on development, updates, fixes and support.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately there isn’t an ideal image size(aspect ratio) so it can look good on all thumbs, also depends which blocks/modules that you use and you have to do some tests and see what aspect ratio to use. The images are cropped for different sizes to be used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/Uor66sP8FL0 if you want to change that. Also this may help – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
As you can see also on your site many images are cropped and they are looking fine – http://screencast.com/t/3bBmbeYgxJ so you have to find a size for your images that will look fine on modules that you want to use.
Thanks!
Hi,
The infinite load pagination ca be used on blocks, so the only way is to use a block to display you latest articles and set pagination to “infinite load” and use a page template without article list – http://screencast.com/t/sWZlCICKR8Sk – http://screencast.com/t/njigS8SZ
If you use a page template with articles list only “normal” pagination is available.
Thanks!
Hey Lucian. Sorry for being such a noob, I’m a learner 🙂 I have found how to do it, so no worries mate. href= ‘ . get_author_posts_url($current_user->ID) . ‘ class=”td-icon-user”>’ . ‘
Just 2 more questions if I can. Can we add a pull-down ajax filter to a block on the author’s posts template (so users can use it to filter the posts (7 days popular, random, etc. filter or categories filter) and can we modify classic pagination of the author’s post template (is it loop.php?) for similar what blocks have (infinite load, Load More button etc.)?

Hello i am hoping someone can help me.
I am looking to have the top header add block separated from the main body of the website so that it sits on top of the background.
for example if you visit my website policehour.co.uk this currently sits on a white background, i am looking for that section of the website to be transparent, an example of what i am looking for can be found at http://www.hartlepooltoday.co.uk.
I am also looking to stretch the header section across the full page for example as seen at http://www.news.sky.com, but for the content to remain in the same place.
You can modify how images are “cropped” — but you will need to “hack” some settings; there is no consistent way to ensure all images are “cropped perfectly” as all are different — as are all photos. So, some might get top chopped off, some might get bottom chopped off. To have images be “perfect” for all shapes and sizes of thumbs you would likely need to create your original images very carefully to have appropriate spacing on all sides so you end up with a “safe area.”
For example you could edit the functions file in the tagdiv booster folder to change the default crop direction for a specific thumbnail size following the settings for WordPress, as found in the official docs … e.g., you could have “crop from top, left” or “crop from bottom, right” .. etc.
SEE:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
TagDiv can point you at the right file to edit in the theme folder, to experiment with.
Block settings are not included with the Newspaper theme; nor advertised to have them, nor shown in the demo; but will be supposedly coming in Newspaper v5. Obviously you can’t somehow “add” that admin panel from another theme to this one — doesn’t work that way. However, that feature most likely will be in Newspaper 5 coming next month (hopefully). Remember theme docs for Newsmag do *not* apply to Newspaper — two different themes!
I don’t solve yet my problem with sidebar’s widgets. I will continue to search.
I need “block settings” because I have a problem with pictures. But I hope I can resolve it without.
I used the plugins “force regenerate thumbnails” and “reg. thumbnails”.
You can see here, in the homepage, the thumbnails are goods : http://www.newlook.francelysee.com. I want the same for all the website.
But here, in a category page, the thumbnails are not modify by “reg thumbnails”, and they are not good : http://www.newlook.francelysee.com/?cat=62
What can I do to have the thumbnails as the homepage, for all the website ?
Thank you
Also be aware there is no way to prevent people copying your content if it loads in a web browser; you can try to block some content being “scraped” — but this also means not having RSS feeds, and if Google can’t read the page, you will be doomed in SERPS. So, you obviously would want to “test” any such plugin and then in Google’s developer tools do the various “load as Google” to see HOW the bot sees your page — if Google can read it you should be fine; of course if Google’s bot can read the page so can others.
How extreme do you want to be ? Are you going to block archive.org ?
For many folks, having strong copyright notices, creative commons logo, and doing periodic searches online can help track down content pirates. There is nothing to stop somebody from rewriting your content, though. If you properly copyright your website (e.g., in the U.S. with the copyright office), you can file a DMCA complaint to have some pirates content removed from Google search results, which is huge deterrent obviously.
And of course, the biggest way to protect content is from a member site where people have to “log in” to view the story; perhaps having teaser for public, and members see the full site.
The ability to “protect” content is a bit of a myth. Disabling right-click doesn’t actually solve anything. For example, SnagIt can capture the full page as an image once it’s in the video buffer in the browser/on screen; Adobe Acrobat DC can capture an entire web page.
Not to scare you, just the facts after 20 years of doing web dev myself. Our company used to actually sell a content protection product called “Mindset Mprotect” for protecting images; and then IE added as “save page as HTML” feature which completely negated some of that. Remember again anything “rendered” in a web browser can be captured as it’s loaded into cache and/or “visible” on a remote device.
Rendering a page in FLASH has some protections, but then you lose most mobile users.
Upshot — be realistic in your goals on the “myth of content protection” with WordPress.
Hi,
@saputrabros As Chris states here the qTranslate X
is a descendant of qTranslate, which has apparently been abandoned by the original author, Qian Qin.
Unfortunately we aren’t considering switching to wpml plugin and we will add a new translation system built in the theme, based on .po .mo files which will come with theme already translated in several common languages (via theme panel, .po .mo are also provided). All this will be available from theme version no 5 and this changes should also make the theme work with other translation plugins.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks!
1. Not really sure what you need as based on what I’ve understood from your description this filter by author/user is already available in theme’s block settings: http://screencast.com/t/Tm2djE9dHgv and the author page filter just the post’s from that author, for example take this author page from our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/author/marius/
2. Could you please also provide a link to your site where we can inspect this issue.
Thanks
Hi,
@garadrim Did you solve the issue with sidebar’s widgets? Please make sure that you haven’t used any special characters into it’s name and if so renamed it and try again.
That option ” Block Settings ” is available for Newsmag theme, we will add some features (that already are used in Newsmag) also in Newspaper version 5.
Thanks!
Hi,
I guess that you have looked on Newsmag theme demo and documentation. Unfortunately the Homepage Post is not available for Newspaper theme at this time. In version 5 of the theme will be added more blocks/modules and some features that already are used in Newsmag.
This is our demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Also Newspaper’s documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-documentation/
Thanks!
Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean, Newspaper is responsive as it is fluid and style for desktop/tables/mobile screens. So the blocks/modules from a page are adjusted for mobile/tablet devices.
Thanks!
Hi,
You have an option in Theme Panel to enable date on articles – http://screencast.com/t/3sJNktflGNJ also you have date for each module/block that you use – http://screencast.com/t/eSMCfLnrz
Thanks!
Thank you, I will try to find the plugin who causing that.
I have an other problem. Why I can’t see the “block settings”, like here : http://www.noelshack.com/2015-21-1432468546-capture-d-ecran-2015-05-24-a-13-54-28.png
You can see here, I haven’t got the “block settings” : http://www.noelshack.com/2015-21-1432468635-capture-d-ecran-2015-05-24-a-13-51-33-2.png
Thank you very much,

Hello! First of all, wanted to say thank you for such a flexible theme. Great stuff, after a month of using it I have found and added all the stuff I needed it seems, except 2 things.
The first and the most important one. Is it possible to add a filter (similar to “posts by the current author”) to a block? Or even make a new one that would work? What I want is to have one of the blocks (13) that would automatically show current author’s posts in the website/author/*** page. Trying to add “posts by member” to members profile pages.
And the second question.
When I have lots of photographs inside a post and using modal function for each of them, lightbox works perfectly and scrolls my page down along with content, sidebar scrolls up and down also fine. However, if you have a sidebar with more then 3 modules on it (eg. tall block with a few modules – 4th module (post in my case) is below the bottom screen line) and then scroll the page down by using lightbox several times (eg. 5-6 or more photographs), you can see that the sidebar scrolls down and stops (if it needs to) as well, but as soon as you close the lightbox by clicking outside a photograph, block with modules just disappears from the sidebar. Apparently it can be found at the bottom of the page by scrolling the page to the very bottom, or it appears immediately if you scroll up.
Thank you very much in advance.
hi, im using m3/block 5 layout for latest articles on my site instacomedy.tv and would like for the post titles to display more characters. like up to a full 3 lines of title. what can i do? would also like for it to display views counters. thanks
So YEAH!!! I did went back to original theme and cleared cache and that fixed my problem.
But I needed my modification back so I reapplied child theme but I started with blank STYLE, then copied and pasted few blocks at a time my modified css, just to make sure everything is normal.
Thank you guys for all your help!

Hi,
I guess that you use style 1 for footer with default widgets, so you can change colors using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/Tbch8wEM3neS
.footer-text-wrap {
color: red;
}
.td-footer-container .block-title span {
background-color: #AEAD52;
color: #3AA882;
}
.td-footer-container .td_block_7 .entry-title a {
color: #3AA882;
}
.td-footer-container .widget_categories li a{
color: rgb(119, 123, 194) !important
}
Thanks!
