Thanks!

Hi,
@DarkCrash that is what I’m trying to explain you, the read more tag works only on module 15 that takes the entire content of the post (it not take excerpt) and it is used to limit that content. The tagdiv blocks display excerpt that can be controlled (length) from Theme Panel, they don’t get the content of the articles, so cannot be limited by tag. Hope this make sense!
Thanks!
Hi,
For footer 2 area you have to edit the template file and increase posts limit – http://screencast.com/t/sCHHCLF8iy – http://screencast.com/t/MfemzUQIS
If you want to hide the number of articles for each category in footer 3 please use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/2mPlnSeXb
.td-footer-container .td_block_popular_categories .td-cat-no {
display: none;
}
Thanks!
HEY!!
note to all having this issue … not a new “theme bug” per se;
this actually caused by install of WP 4.2 and *not* the theme update
… one of my sites running 1.6 which I just updated to WP 4.2 now has this same issue with just the “categories” widget — none of the other widgets affected I’m using (might impact other ‘default’ widgets; but not impacting tag cloud …
CSS “printed” on page:
<aside class="widget widget_categories"><div class="block-title"><span>Categories</span></div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="cat">Categories</label><select name='cat' id='cat' class='postform'>
Hello,
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am trying to insert a custom ad into the loop-single-1.php
i followed instructions here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-insert-ads-in-custom-areas-of-the-website/
custom ad 8 in the theme options is populated with this ad code:
<div id=”taboola-below-article-thumbnails”></div>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
_taboola.push({
mode: ‘thumbnails-j’,
container: ‘taboola-below-article-thumbnails’,
placement: ‘Below Article Thumbnails’,
target_type: ‘mix’
});
</script>
I created a new page with just the ad block (in this case custom ad 8). Then i saved the page and grabbed the shortcode:
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_8" spot_title="Taboola Under"][/vc_column][/vc_row]‘);?>
I placed the code below related posts into the loop-single-1.php like this:
<footer>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_post_pagination();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_review();?><div class=”td-post-source-tags td-pb-padding-side”>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_source_and_via();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_the_tags();?>
</div><?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer></article> <!– /.post –>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->related_posts();?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_8" spot_title="Taboola Under"][/vc_column][/vc_row]‘);?>
<?php
} else {
//no posts
echo td_page_generator::no_posts();
}
however the final display is like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5fke5p32qyz2n0/under%20related%20posts.PNG?dl=0
I need it nicely fit like it does when the same ad code is placed in the Article Bottom Ad < which i dont use because I need placed below related articles instead of above. exactly like here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tifoolvtsyoayk4/article%20bottom%20ad.PNG?dl=0
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Tks Alin,
About the ads management:
2. There’s a problem with your ads manager, for the ads in articles, you can access this url:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/tecnologo-pode-prestar-concurso/
I used the “article top ad” with a 336x280px ads, and is appearing a horizontal ads. And in “article bottom ads” I used a responsive ads.
In the homepage I used:
– a 728x90px in custom_ad_1 after the header block named “em destaque” and a responsive ads in custom_ad_2 after the block named “preparacao”.
As you can see doesnt matter the size of the ads blocks, your theme have own sizes in specific locations. I dont know why this is happening, I tried to desactive all plugins (except visual composer) I verified another site with the same theme, and it is working fine (like hxxp://sensacionalista.com.br).
9. How can I create “sliding sidebar blocks” like in the demo of newsmag? Note that I want to use this functionality with the sidebar blocks created in visual composer, not with the widgets.
10. About the size of the cover images for the articles. I tried to use the plugin Regenerate Thumbnails, but without sucess with your theme.
What I can do to adjust a better view to the images in each type of visualization that you theme offer? For example, for the same posts your theme use diferent sizes for the homepage and for the page of the categories.
As you can see the same post “O Que Faz um Analista Tributário da Receita Federal?” with the cropped image in the page of category:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/carreiras/
But not cropped in the:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/
Hi,
Please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css:
.td_block_big_grid .td-animation-stack .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Block 11 doesn’t display read more button you have to use block 12 if you want read more button. Please take a look on our demo:
Block 11 – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-11/
Block 12 – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-12/
If you want read more button on block 11, please take a look at module 11 – http://screencast.com/t/fZqbP1x2j and copy also that code in module 10 – http://screencast.com/t/Hkwe4ADGesCm
Result: http://screencast.com/t/MRTinnTzRb
Thanks!
On my fron page in one part i am using block 16. Block 16 comes with 300×194 images but css makes it 200×130
when i check i do not see these size on the block settings.
How we can solve this issue?
I wanted to know is there a way to set one image as default image for posts which dont have any images.
I have many posts which have no images and for such posts the image block is always empty, hence wanted to know if we can set up a default image for such posts
Hi,
Did you update from an older version of the theme?
In 1.5 theme’s version we have renamed some shortcodes:
– td_ad_box -> td_block_ad_box
– td_authors -> td_block_authors
– td_homepage_full_1 -> td_block_homepage_full_1
– td_popular_categories -> td_block_popular_categories
– td_video_vimeo -> td_block_video_vimeo
– td_video_youtube -> td_block_video_youtube
– td_text_with_title -> td_block_text_with_title
– td_slide -> td_block_slide
– td_social_counter -> td_block_social_counter
So the renamed widgets have to be re added to each sidebar after this update. Make sure that you backup your database and if possible get the widget list from your sidebars.
Rename the short codes via SQL: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-newsmag-to-1-5/
The shortcodes shouldn’t be a problem, they will just appear on page as a code, you have to locate them and manually modify them to the new format: http://screencast.com/t/Da8k0HHtSD or use the SQL query (in phpmyadmin) to automatically replace them in the database – http://screencast.com/t/G1SwZNDb
Hope this helps!
after upgrading the theme today i’m getting some errors in the blocks..


please help.. howto fix this..
Hi,
You will need custom modification for this(not an easy task) as the full width of the slider use images at the full width of the theme – http://screencast.com/t/5xZq2FK5L and the feature image for template 6 and also Homepage Post block image is stretched via javascript, unfortunately we cannot provide any type of custom work for the moment as we work hard on development fixes and support.
You can hire a freelancer from site’s like to do this for you: http://studio.envato.com/
Thanks!
well I like that the trending now block is animated. but it looks somehow “wrong” to me. As you see on my website http://www.salzburg12.at/ I’m using the trending now block on the top of the page. The title slides in, stay for a second (or so) an the turns white for some seconds. It’s more white than displaying something 🙂 Are there any setting for controlling the animation, duration…? I didn’t see any…
On the other side, the popular 7 days post worked fine before, after the update it shows only one post. Will this take some time to work properly or is there an error?
Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean. You can choose footer style 2 and add your own blocks in footer 2 and 3 from Widgets section: http://screencast.com/t/kt1suBxq
Please provide more details if this is not what you mean, provide a link and what you want to customize.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Category page cannot be build via Visual Composer like your homepage. Theme doesn’t have option for this and you will need custom modification, unfortunately we cannot provide any custom work for the moment, sorry.
There is an option in Theme Panel > Categories to disable Big Grid on category page(if you want this): http://screencast.com/t/P1eBsD1V
2. I have checked your site and did not found any ads on your homepage, please follow this guide for ads – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/
The theme width is smaller than Newspaper (1021px) so if you want to use a fixed width ad at 728px here – http://screencast.com/t/BKCRNSbwCw I’m afraid that the width of 2 columns is smaller than 728px – http://screencast.com/t/bayX7e3IfKCZ
So you will have to use the full width row for this – http://screencast.com/t/oqoiLvJdj – http://screencast.com/t/40olCBoCEa7
6. If you don’t want Latest articles please change your page template and use a template without articles: http://screencast.com/t/y3UMlJYeTa – https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-newsmag/
Just add Social Counter block to your sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/ttsepM5t6Oi – http://screencast.com/t/nkAOfsiu78
7. Go to the block settings and set pagination for it: http://screencast.com/t/QePc4h3l47
8. You can set this like you do that for blocks: http://screencast.com/t/1A7yPgMoiGy7
Block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-overview/
Please follow our documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
Thanks!
Hi,
Block 11 was made by module 10 so you can change excerpt for this module – http://screencast.com/t/uZOy6Taq6M
Like I said if you use read more tag in post – http://screencast.com/t/2zvOJDZo it will apply only on module 15 that display the entire content of the post.
Please provide more details if this is not your issue and a link so I can take a look.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
You have to copy get_category function to module that you want to appear categories – http://screencast.com/t/o1umsNHNb and echo categories where you want to display.
Please follow this topics to show categories on modules/blocks:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/category-display-info/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/show-categorie-name-in-latest-articles/
Also will be added an option in Theme Panel to display categories on modules/blocks from version 5 of Newspaper.
Thanks!
Hi,
You have an option in block settings to change block title background and text color: http://screencast.com/t/2WY1ZgQ5
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try this custom css for mobile device: http://screencast.com/t/cdjOmwMN4oq
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td_block_big_grid .td-big-grid-post-0 {
height: auto;
}
}
Thanks!
No way to fully remove the “render blocking” issue unless you custom engineer your website from scratch to load pages in “chunks” — which is virtually impossible with off the shelf product like this; so technically you will almost ALWAYS get that warning. So, the “goal” would be to address everything ELSE, and “tune” your site without any external elements being loaded, then switch back on the external stuff (e.g., adverts, etc.).
I don’t use Cloudflare, so not much help there.
The reason I don’t provide “support” anymore is I don’t work here; and every server and setup has different issues which are unrelated to how “I do it.” So, not much help for some things like CLoudflare — I stopped using our Amazon CDN for just such issues like IE randomly not loading font awesome, and Firefox just is a P.O.S. with a whole slew of java issues (e.g., our old ecom system won’t load via mod_SPDY with FIrefox, but works with every other browser known to man — forced me to turn off mod_SPDY and having to migrate our ecom to woocommerce … !). Stupid FF.
Thanks for not bugging me …
The other reason I stopped answering some questions is people would not bother to actually READ my help post and ask if their htaccess file was okay. 😉
I have not bothered putting anything in the speedbooster plugin as not a huge help with most stuff; and many plugins that I use actually have option to load JS in footer anyway, so no need to hack that into the plugin.
Upshot — I have not used the plugin beyond its default settings, since mod_pagespeed takes care of a lot of things (except the latest update which was being overloaded by a legacy site with a loop of doom with timthumb…. but woo taking care of that finally..)
blah blah. Anyway… sorry no magic answers today !
Tks Alin, some comments:
1. I dont know if is I or you that didnt understand, I want the show 3 figures in the header (just occurs to my homepage) when I click in a specific category, for example to:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/preparacao/
You can see that my categories have 5 images in the header (like in the default version, not the tech version).
2. Solved.
3. Solved.
4. I´m facing problems with the adsense implementation in the middle of homepage.
I did many tests, I created 728×90 ads block and a responsive block, the 728×90 I put in the custom_ads1, after the posts of the category “notícias” as you can see in my homepage, and after the category “preparação” (above the latest articles) I put a responsive ads.
For both, the size appears responsive. And by this way I can conclude that isn’t a problem with the adsense code. So why it appeared responsive? I want to use 728×90 ads like appears in the newspaper theme.
5. Solved.
Anothers questions.
6. How can I remove the “latest articles” from homepage and bring the widget “stay connected” to the top of the sidebar? I don’t know how to decrease the distance between the sidebar blocks of the visual composer and the blocks created in the widget section.
7. In the visual composer blocks, like I did to the category “notices” (notícias) in the top of my site, how can I put buttons to show next and previous notices? Like in this site hxxp://sensacionalista.com.br
Hello Alin, that works on Module 15, I can easily limit the excerpt and it works, but I’m using “Block 11”. I can limit the excerpt on the text but it completely ignores my “Read More” button. I want to have posts with just 3 or 4 words, then a Read More button for the rest of the article.
Is there any work around?
Thanks
Dear Lucian
Thanks for your response. but it sounds like an auto response sent to everyone with this query. Render blocking Javascripts include
1. contact-form-7/includes/js/jquery.form.min.js (should not be there as it is part of theme package)
2. contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js (should not be there as it is part of theme package)
3. http://s0.wp.com/wp-content/js/devicepx-jetpack.js
4. /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/js/td_external.js (should not be there as it is part of theme package)
5. /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/min/site.min.js (should not be there as it is part of theme package)
6. /wp-includes/js/thickbox/thickbox.js
7. /wp-content/plugins/Js_composer/assets/js/js_composer_front.js (should not be there as it is part of theme package)
8. /wp-includes/js/comment-reply.min.js
You might have noticed above that I have in fact added ID’s of blocking styles and Js at the appropriate place in speedbooster plugin but these are still appearing in Pagespeed insights results.
Can you please guide to resolve the matter as suggested solution is assumingly not working
Is there a way to enable shortcode within the ads zones.
I use a plugin that allows me to track ads stats ect.
Does the ads block allow shortcode?
I have tried entering it as a php, which works but knocks the full page out and the standard shortcode does not work.
I think the answer is going to be no, but i wanted to check before i start talking out the ads block on the templates pages.
