Did it by adding this code to the end of single.php before the php closing tag :-
echo td_page_generator::wrap_start();
echo do_shortcode(‘[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block3 sort=”random_posts” limit=”10″ custom_title=”Trending” ajax_pagination=”infinite”][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][/vc_column][/vc_row]‘);
echo td_page_generator::wrap_end();
Hi FiftyFifty,
When you updated the theme did you do it via FTP? If you did, it wont work properly.
As Chris suggested, you need to do the update as per his guide, even if you didn’t do it by FTP it’s worth going through it again just to be sure.
Add a new theme (any) to act as a temporary
Delete the old theme in wordpress back end
Delete the VC and social counter plugins
Clear all caches including browser
Disable all the other plugins
Reload the theme via wordpress uploader and activate
Upload the plugins manually from the theme download file not from the on screen message in the plugin page
Activate all plugins
Test again
If that doesn’t do it go back to the wp_booster/td_video_support.php file and check very carefully that you got all the http URL’s some are easy to miss. Chris had said don’t do the youtube shortlinks but I’ve done em all and it works still so I’m kinda hoping it hangs together for a minute.
In your post, don’t forget to tick “video” in format and select style 8 from the post templates, I use the full URL from youtube and enter it into the sidebar
If you are adding the video player block to the page you will have to fill in all of the fields and add a video to it for it to show correctly on the page, you don’t add the full URL though just the series of letters and numbers at the end part of the URL
If all of that fails you probably need to go to your hosting provider and ask them to add a php.ini file and switch on allow_url_fopen = on
After a whole day of trying to find out what was wrong I went back to the server people and asked them if the allow_url_fopen was set to on and he came back with this
“I placed some code in your public_html folders .htaccess file to make the php.ini file work”
Real helpful that…..
So it was in fact the server that was the problem but also the theme should shoulder part of the blame as it’s not configured for SSL and that isn’t made apparent when you buy the theme, I’d also like to add that while TagDiv support and Chris who I understand doesn’t work for TagDiv are very helpful none of the solutions to these basic problems are presented in a coherent way.
Searching several thousand questions on a forum isn’t the best bet because some of this stuff needs to really be done in an organised fashion. More documentation is probably needed and to be fair I will probably put something together to add to the forum just for people who are stuck with configuration and SSL issues but I’m no expert so could end up doing more harm than good?
Anyway, all is working so that at least one satisfied customer.
Let me know how you get on
Thank you so much for your help. Here are my specific questions:
There has been a misunderstanding here. We don’t need a “subscription system; we need only 1 thing to work and that is for when a subscriber subscribes, we get an email saying they have subscribed. The system already has a set up where people can subscribe. It may help to visit the site and see the Subscription Link there. That’s all. (Please see copied document which highlights the problem I think we are experiencing and might point to a solution)
Answers to Tech Support questions:
———————————-
Q) Where is the ìsubscriptionî form on your website?
Answer) The subscription form is actually a TADDIV JS Container
called span4 column_container. Code is shown below:
————————————————————————————–
</div>
<div class=”span4 column_container”>
<aside class=”widget widget_recent_entries”> <div class=”block-title”><span>Recent Posts</span></div>
</aside><aside class=”widget widget_tag_cloud”><div class=”block-title”><span>Tags</span></div><div class=”tagcloud”></div>
</aside><aside class=”widget jetpack_subscription_widget”><div class=”block-title”><span><label for=”subscribe-field”>Subscribe to Blog via Email</label></span></div>
<form action=”#” method=”post” accept-charset=”utf-8″ id=”subscribe-blog-blog_subscription-3″>
<div id=”subscribe-text”><p>Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.</p>
</div>
<p id=”subscribe-email”>
<label id=”jetpack-subscribe-label” for=”subscribe-field”>
Email Address </label>
<input type=”email” name=”email” value=”” id=”subscribe-field” placeholder=”Email Address” />
</p>
<p id=”subscribe-submit”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=”subscribe” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”source” value=”http://www.fit2fash.com/” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”sub-type” value=”widget” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”redirect_fragment” value=”blog_subscription-3″ />
<input type=”submit” value=”Subscribe” name=”jetpack_subscriptions_widget” />
</p>
</form>
<script>
( function( d ) {
if ( ( ‘placeholder’ in d.createElement( ‘input’ ) ) ) {
var label = d.getElementById( ‘jetpack-subscribe-label’ );
label.style.clip = ‘rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px)’;
label.style.position = ‘absolute’;
label.style.height = ‘1px’;
label.style.width = ‘1px’;
label.style.overflow = ‘hidden’;
}
} ) ( document );
</script>
——————————————————————————————-
B) When somebody subscribes, where is that being stored?
Answer: Subscriptions are being handled by a widget called “jetpack_subscriptions_widget”.
Where the widget stores data would have to be looked into by TAGDIV.
C) Can you see the people who are signing up?
Answer: We can see the people who are signing up through an ADMIN Panel in WORDPRESS.com.
However while the subscriber does receive an email, we do not. We have to go into another
company’s toolset to find this data.
D) Plugin?
Answer: The Subscriptions are being handled by a widget called “jetpack_subscriptions_widget”.
What we have validated is that once a person subscribes, the following occurs:
1. The person gets an email asking them to confirm their signup.
2. The confirmation email process workds because when a person confirms, the email address
gets populated into the WORDPRESS.COM ADMIN panel.
3. The email address gets populated into the WORDPRESS.COM ADMIN panel
4. The web hosting company has validated that they can forward an email from our email address
on the web hosting system to the Yahoo email address for the BLOG. This has been set up and
done through the SMTP protocol.
So just based upon this, it would appear that something is not working with the “jetpack_subscriptions_widget”
to get it to send us an email that a subscriber has subscribed. The widget is NOT instantianting or a method
call is not correctly working.
Thank You,
Fit2Fash
I just did this myself…
Note “style 1” has the pre-defined blocks; which you cannot actually change cols 2 + 3; only add stuff to col 1 from the panel. This is quick start for folks to not have empty footer.
I wanted to keep the 3 column, and have col one use the pre-defined logo, block of text and social icons, and then blank cols 2 and 3.
footer settings > templates
So, from the footer settings, click on the little image which shows the first column having stuff in it, and the second/third empty — in my case “style 2”
Then you can use the appearance > widgets to put anything into cols 2 + 3
OR: choose the footer template you want by clicking on the graphic, and then save.
It *is* a little different than last version of Newsmag, but much better I think 🙂
Hi!
I’ve made a page using VC and i have diferent vertical spaces between some blocks. Content of these block changes (shows random posts) and these spaces also change: for instance now it’s between 1 and 2 row, then it’s between 2 and 3 and 4 row…
http://files.webfile.ru/b6baff31cb53cc36bd38320350efe1cd
Could you help me with this?
Hi,
Not sure how this could happen. I’ve also tested this using the latest theme version (4.6.2) but found no issues similar to what you’ve described.
my post configuration: http://screencast.com/t/KVa3sHGkxvB
result: http://screencast.com/t/fBGudxDd
My guess is that this happens because of a plugin you use, it could be due to the
Taxonomy order plugin: http://screencast.com/t/rVadNbIGRsRL
I suggest you try this without any plugins active, lave just the Visual Composer plugin active then make sure you empty caches, purge files if you use cdn host then test this again.
Let me know how it goes and if this still happens after all this consider updating your theme to the latest version if you are not using it already.
Thanks
Hi,
Please try this custom css for Big Grid: http://screencast.com/t/aHPPwbQZ
.td-image-gradient:before{
background: transparent;
}
.td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
background: transparent !important;
}Also you can add a background to the title: http://screencast.com/t/QFsFaBh7IFL
.td-big-grid-post .entry-title a{
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.38);
}
Please use Chrome and inspect blocks/modules that you want to change and add the css in Theme Panel > Custom Css.
You can edit module files that are used on blocks and comment or delete author line. For example this module(td_module_mx5.php) is used by the Big Grid: http://screencast.com/t/Nw3AfazOS41
Result: http://screencast.com/t/I5j2Hs2O
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry for the delay!
I’ve check your site and noticed that those images are affected by some theme’s css which use the same classes and that is why they are always at full container width. You can overwrite it using css, try this css in your custom css filed and lat me know if you still have issue with this: http://screencast.com/t/wx0rGedoj
.post .easyazon-block .alignnone img, .post .easyazon-block .aligncenter img {
width: initial !important;
}
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks
I’ve just made 2 test posts with different youtube videos and they haven’t generated the extra images and the image is now appearing in the block on the front page.
I had deleted the expires headers from my htaccess file and tried it without, everything seems ok and then added the text back in to the htaccess file and tried it again and got the same good results. Maybe the specific video I was using is generating the 3 images for some reason?
I don’t know but it is still generating the errors in the back end with and without the files changed in htaccess so the problem still persists to some degree
Hi,
1. You can change footer background from Theme Panel > Theme Colors: http://screencast.com/t/2yBVGWU0Q
2. Please follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-slide-left-to-right-fonts-arabic/
3-4 Provide a link and more details.
5. Please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/pAFd6TGGvSvb
.block-mega-child-cats{
text-align:left;
}
.block-mega-child-cats a{
padding: 6px 0px 6px 21px;
}
.td_block_mega_menu .td-ajax-next-page{
left: auto;
right: 270px;
background-position: -20px -1948px;
}
.td_block_mega_menu .td_ajax-prev-page{
left: auto;
right: 240px;
background-position: -20px -1990px;
}
You can change mega menu fonts from Theme Panel > Custom Typography: http://screencast.com/t/kiw8KbAEqo2
6. I’m not sure what you mean. If you want to change block title an excerpt fonts you can do this from Theme Panel > Custom Typography: http://screencast.com/t/QcbCK4H4EXoK – http://screencast.com/t/1bKn85xOlz
Please search the forum for suggestion and fixes for the issue you may encounter with this and you should also consider that unfortunately we recently have decided that starting with the next theme update we will not include rtl support within the theme. You can still use the theme as it is but unfortunately you cannot updated it as you will lose the rtl support or you can update it and make yourself the necessary adjustments needed.
Thanks!
Hi Lucian,
Thank you for your reply.
I appreciate the offer of a refund but site as it stands represents many long hours of toil that I’ll never see a benefit from if I just give up. I try the refund trick all the time with my own customers as well, it’s a convenient way of not having to deal with the problem. It doesn’t do much for customer satisfaction though but lets not get into that negative stuff.
I like the theme and very much want to use it going forward as there are no other themes available as far as I know that have the same split sidebar configuration which I really like the look of, it just breaks the whole thing up nicely, so well done on that.
I have contacted the hosting provider and they have put the php.ini file together for me and I have added it to public_html as instructed, unfortunately this hasn’t solved the problem.
I get the following errors when I try to publish a post
Warning: get_headers() [function.get-headers]: https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_video_support.php on line 109
Warning: get_headers() [function.get-headers]: This function may only be used against URLs in /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_video_support.php on line 109
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_video_support.php:109) in /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-admin/post.php on line 233
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_video_support.php:109) in /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1178
Looking at the first error do you think they have incorrectly configured the php.ini file as it is showing “https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen” do these files have to be configured differently for http and https?
I don’t know a lot about these things so I would appreciate your input and will get it changed if needs be.
The other errors seem to be something to do with the td_video_support.php file that we altered earlier, do you have any thoughts on why these errors may be occurring and what we might be able to do to alleviate the problem?
The problems I’m seeing are in the front and back end of wordpress, the posts are getting stuck when I try to publish them and are returning the above errors, I have also had the site fail when trying to delete the same post.
I have submitted the post again and although it returns the error and leaves me stuck on that page, if I open the site in a new window the post has actually been generated and the large full width video image is now shown in post (it wasn’t showing before), however if you then navigate to the home page the image still isn’t appearing in the blocks, it just shows the title for the post and the blank grey background. If I then go back to the media library in the back end of wordpress, it has once again generated 3 huge images inside the media library.
Have a think and get back to me, if we can’t work it out between us then I’ll send over the login details for you to have a look
Just to add, I am using different caching plugin on this site which seems to work better with the theme but I know this isn’t the problem, I have also set up 3 other test sites all with the exact same setting/plugins etc as you advise and all of my sites are throwing up this same problem. All of the sites are hosted with A2 hosting, all of these hosting accounts are brand new, all have dedicated ip and a site wide SSL and all are brand new clean servers with brand new clean wordpress installs.
I’m stumped and don’t know what to do next as video will be a large part of the new, original content that I had planned to create for the site, at the moment I’ve just put a bit of filler content on there to see how it all plays together and to figure out the design.
I was thinking of adding buddypress and a few other plugins but at present I’m not confident that these wont break the site so I’m holding back on that for now
Best wishes
Hi,
Look on how the other modules are added – http://screencast.com/t/8cQF0Ik4nwFe
And the blocks – http://screencast.com/t/bn1CKCZeEvz
And widgets – http://screencast.com/t/Pwhre1zCyZB
We will make a guide in the future, we’re still working to improve this section.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
This: http://oi57.tinypic.com/iylzid.jpg is a know issue which we have on our todo list and try to find a solution as it seems it dose not happen to every one.
You can fix it using this custom css in theme panel > custom css field: http://screencast.com/t/abpgce5tt
.block-title {
line-height: 30px !important;
}
I can’t see well what error you receive when you import the demo xml.
Please give us wp-access on email so we can access your admin panel and have a look at this.
Also please make a backup of you current WordPress install and database: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups then give us access to admin.
Thanks

Hi,
I also tested this without unique articles: http://screencast.com/t/yTKGSEfdPJ5 but when unique articles are active you should not have articles duplicated: http://screencast.com/t/VmLvAHnYEalV
So this wont be a problem if unique articles are active…I tested this also with Widgetised Sidebar block.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please provide more details. Do you mean to display the category on the block modules (for each post) in frontend? Or to display it in the backend, when you build the page?
Thank you, Emil G.
Now my site is down (terrific) but I hope soon online again and I’ll alert.
Meanwhile I add another question: Can I add the title category in the custom block?
Becaouse should my client every time move the blocks in the Custom builder but does not read what they are.
I am desolate of these constant demands but if you were in my shoes you would have thought about suicide! :-))
But you’re really a great support forum and I adore you, really
Hi Chris,
I am using the latest version of Chrome. Also, I checked with both my PC and my laptop, same problem. I found the issue in your version of Newsmag as well.
Here’s what happens:
On increasing the resolution beyond 1400px, the two-column content blocks surprisingly become one column, thereby leaving white spaces to their left. Since most content blocks you’re using are already one-column, the issue isn’t very prominent. However, I noticed the same issue on your version in the last six articles of the first content block.
I really would have bought Newsmag, if there wasn’t this issue. Hopefully, Tagdiv will introduce some magazine features in Newspaper 5, thereby solving my issue.
Hello..
I’ve changed big grid module content. Big image content comes from one category, and 4 images content comes from latest posts.
Now, I want to filter dublicate content for other modules.
My Big Grid Module codes;
How can I check $do_not_duplicate array in other blocks..
Web Site: http://www.istanbulparent.com/
Thanks…
My version of Newsmag works just fine up to 1980px wide ….
http://massachusettsnewswire.com …
what browser / platform are you using ?
I tried both IE11/Win64 and Chrome. No problem.
Do you have the same issue in testing my BETA site revamp above?
I moved from Woo Canvas to Newsmag and still tweaking the above (not yet fully optimized for pagespeed for example or all block elements, or the footer, footer logo, etc.). I cannot replicate the issue you are referring to. (I am running monitor at 1920×1200 – with dual Apple 23-inch IPS Cinema Displays on my main workstation here …)
Thank you Alin
That’s very good
1- For the mega menu posts please see this (Move the posts) http://www.wata.cc/up/2015/03/images/w-da176923a9.jpg
2- And please I need to do for the blocks in the homepage the same thing that we did for categories (posts order)
http://www.wata.cc/up/2015/03/images/w-796ab9734a.jpg
3- When I try to do a search (In desktop and mobile) the button is on the writing

Thanks a lot
Sorry for the inconvenience
HI,
we actually had this issue after theme update. “Resaving” the block again, and then resaving the main page cleared it up for us. Might not be your issue, but this happened in Chrome.
It also happens in Chrome if you set your browser magnification to 90% in Chrome, but not IE11. Oddly.
Hello! Great theme!
I am building the layout of my blog site with placeholder stories for now. I noticed that the post blocks that include the ajax next and previous arrows no longer slide. The loading animation comes on, but it never loads the next posts. I disabled all of my plugins to see if that would help and cleared my cache, but it did not do anything. What could be the issue?
Here is a link to one example. This is happening on the site by the way, in every post next/prev slider.

Hi,
I’ve added two custom blocks in my Newsmag child theme using your “td_api_module” and “td_api_block” class inside my functions.php:
td_api_module::add('td_module_17',
array(
'file' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/includes/modules/td_module_17.php',
'text' => 'Module 17',
'img' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images/panel/modules/td_module_17.png',
'used_on_blocks' => array('td_block_17'),
'excerpt_title' => 12,
'excerpt_content' => '',
'enabled_on_more_articles_box' => true,
'enabled_on_loops' => true,
'uses_columns' => true, // if the module uses columns on the page template + loop
'category_label' => true
)
);
td_api_block::add('td_block_17',
array(
'map_in_visual_composer' => true,
"name" => 'Block 17',
"base" => 'td_block_17',
"class" => 'td_block_17',
"controls" => "full",
"category" => 'Blocks',
'icon' => 'icon-pagebuilder-td_block_8',
'file' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/includes/shortcodes/td_block_17.php',
"params" => array_merge(
td_global::get_map_filter_array(),
td_global::get_map_block_array()
)
)
);
I’ve added this module and block using the init-hook. The module then shows up inside the theme panel, e.g. categories. But “block 17” doesn’t appear inside the widget page. What am I doing wrong?
Another problem concerns the typography: Is it possible to change the h4 inside the block_title to h2?
Thanks!
