Hi,
Unfortunately you are right, not all the module can be added via page builder as blocks. We will consider this for future updates.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks
Since we wanted to have an individual layout of our start page we designed one with VC. However, it seems that not all of the modules are available as blocks. Is there a reason for it?
Example: I like the “Module search” due to its small image. I can only use it if we select “Homepage – with article list” as template. However, it is not available in the VC blocks – there is only Block 6 with larger images. It would be great if all the modules are available as blocks!
Unfortunately, I cannot combine both since the sidebar is not independent. If I define the upper part of the page using VC (e.g. to include a Slide for the featured articles as in the demo) the sidebar (defined in the page’s “Homepage latest articles” section) starts only at the lower part together with the latest articles and in the upper part the column right to the slider is empty.
This limits the flexibility of Newspaper, which – apart from this problem – is great!
Hi,
I have inspect your site and found that you have a plugin which adds some extra css that breaks the slider’s layout: http://screencast.com/t/hxJMeSsb
You can solve this by deactivating the plugin or use this css to overwrite it: http://screencast.com/t/g4o7pzfV45
.slider {
display: block;
width: auto;
border: none;
}
Thanks
Hi,
@LBour Please follow this tread and use the same method to achieve this or switch to block 3 and do the same. For block 2 you will have to make this modification in td_module_5.php file: http://screencast.com/t/aV9JkSdx for the big thumb. If you don’t know how to do it we recommend to get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ as we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
@sbo It is a custom modification you don’t need to update, just follow this tread and use the same method to achieve it.
Hope this helps! Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Thanks TheMediumUTM!
@papilleclandestine I’ve checked your page source and found that somehow all theme’s css is loaded within each page which could cause issues.
My guess is that this is a plugin settings which reads theme’s css and loads in into the page.
First please make sure you deactivate all plugins leaving only Visual Composer plugin active, after this empty your cache and purge files and check again.
Also please make sure you use this page speed guide right and use the tagDiv Speed Booster plugin to move the css and js at the bottom of the page avoiding the page render blocking. We only recommend this to advanced users so if you don’t have any php knowledge you should get some to help you with this.
Hope this helps! Please let me know!
Thanks
Hello,
I have a question. Using Chrome dev tools, I am getting this error in Console:
Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://tribyoot.org/15248/2-year-old-survives-decapitation/’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet ‘http://tribyoot.org/Tribyoot/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/images/style/output.css’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.
I have contacted the plugin developer and he cannot find where, in the plugin, the problem could be originating. However, what are the chances that because the Ad area of the theme is using the code from the plugin, that the theme is actually causing this to request an http instead of an https for this plugin (javascript, css, etc.)

Hi guys,
On the homepage (and on pages) I was able to eliminate duplicate postings by enabling the “unique articles” element. But when I view an article (post), I see the same article’s thumbnail showing up in a category block on the sidebar (which is populating by most recent).
Screenshot: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwLFxEIDQNO7ZDVqRHBLaTE0ZFU/edit?usp=drivesdk
I don’t see a “unique articles” toggle when I edit a post, only on pages. Is there is a way to eliminate this from happening on post pages? Or is there another work-around?
Also, is there a way to use visual editor on posts?
Thanks a mil
Hi,
It would be nice to be able to filter posts not only by tags or category, but also by post formats! In this way, we should be able to display posts on sidebar as “Galleries”, then “Videos”, etc… no matter in which categories posts have been classified.
What do you think about this idea? Is it on track?
By the way, I have a little bug to report you, the first widget [block1] on my blog shows “2 823 278 views”, whereas it’s not possible. I’m using WP Post Views. Do you know what is the problem?
Thanks!
Hi,
Great job. I use the block 2. If i would like the same result, what’s the code and where i paste it ?
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately it will not work in your case and this appears like that because you haven’t set a featured image for that post.
What you could do it to enable the feature image place holder: http://screencast.com/t/zEqlfFU41R if you do not want any featured image for a specific post and prevent the layout you get now or you can set a featured image and use the gallery post format: http://screencast.com/t/NgZJlvSV to use only the thumb of it on category pages, homepage, block and so on..
Hope this helps!
Thanks
HI Lucian
Thanks, after reading the thread about block 3, I managed to integrate the sharing buttons.
Hi,
I have checked your site and found no issue with your thumbs, seems to me like the right thumbs sizes are used:
– examples:
* big slider – big image: http://screencast.com/t/tPcnpBp6h7y
* big slider – small images: http://screencast.com/t/r8dvZyDri
* block 2 – small images: http://screencast.com/t/DdieGRjopC7u
I did noticed that setting the visibility hidden on date doesn’t look right, you should use display:none and hide it via custom css, like this: http://screencast.com/t/koocO0Foc
Add this css in theme panel > custom css field:
.td_mod_wrap .meta-info time {
display: none
}
Thanks
I’d like to move the latest articles on the homepage to just below the big slider, but on top of another block that I have, so I’d like to display the latest articles in between them.
I can’t seem to find the code I need to edit in order to do this. Please help, thank you!
Hi,
Thanks for the quick help. However, I am looking to use an image on the “inside” of the boxed layout hence the use of the
.home .td-page-wrap
would my CSS code above work on the inside of the ‘boxed’ layout’?
Hi,
Unfortunately you can only use module 7 layout for wordpress templates and latest articles loops. There is no block which you can use to achieve this so you can’t do it via page builder(VC). We have this on our todo list and we will consider it but we have to be very carefully what we implement as we have over 160 feature request.
Sorry about this!
Thanks for understanding!
Hi,
We do not plan any changes on this at this moment and we have to be very careful what we implement as we have over 160 feature requests, if more people request for this we will consider about it.
You can follow the tread below as I have posted there a method on how to do this there and you can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Here is the topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/can-i-edit-block3/
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@starlogic
1. This issue with the slider occurs because of Yoast Google Analytics plugin.
We know about this and we have already wrote to plugins author so we can find a solution for this, you can also write to their support page: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/google-analytics-for-wordpress
We are trying to fix this but unfortunately is more difficult than we initially tooth. You can disable this option from Yoast Google Analytics general settings, will fix the issue with the links: http://screencast.com/t/LRV9LlBn3 or you can also use our own Google analytics support (just paste the code in our admin): http://screencast.com/t/EtxOCuXlspj
2. That is as Christopher wrote comes from the block’s settings, in this case the sort order of your block which is set to display the latest articles: http://screencast.com/t/XLSTjmKe You have to edit the block and change this setting.
Thanks
Hello awesome support team,
I have some serious issues with my wordpress installation and Newspaper theme (the latest version). I have even opened a support ticket to my hosting company. They are always helpful and sorting all issues perfectly. This time their answer after deep checking of my website was different. That’s why I’m asking you for help.
The main issue is my website has awesome stats on google insights however it’s working very very slow. It’s always a problem with new posts. Connection lost. I’m struggling with managing this page now đ
On the server side everything is perfect, hosting support came back to me with this message:
Your site is throwing up a lot of database errors.
The nature of these errors means that a lot of the PHP scripts would depend on a successful database lookup, while those errors exist it might not be possible for the php script to complete. Without an escape method the server would increase the amount of resources at completing the script until it times out. Which is why your site is slow and failing.All the errors seem to link back to the template or theme for your wordpress. You might want to contact the developers and ask them if they can shed any light on the errors.
Would you be able to help me please? Website address: http://cafetography.co.uk/
I can share admin login details with you on PM message.
Thank you in advance
Tom
Hi,
To remove the bullets you have to edit the td_module_10 file and remove the list tags like this: http://screencast.com/t/U8Ac3yJthm
And to change the display use this css: http://screencast.com/t/sM9WPS46
.td_mod10 .entry-title, .td_mod10 .meta-info {
display: inline-block;
}
To get the date in front of the title move this line: http://screencast.com/t/m4CDr3tJ
Result: http://screencast.com/t/yaaPFO4B
And also add this css:
.td_mod10 .entry-title {
margin-left: 10px;
}
Thanks
We have the newspaper theme and we installed it got it up and running but now it shuts down every 12 hours. We have to go set it back up http://twinir.com/ is the web site I also have a screen shot butI don’t see anyway to uploadd it this is the only writing on the page. [td_block3 limit=”3″ ajax_pagination=”next_prev” sort=”random_7_day” custom_title=”Trending Now”] any Ideas?
When setting up each block for home page, you can specify a “category” for that block, such as books, music, or movies; then when creating posts, put that post into one of those categories.
I am trying to customize my site http://www.fashionwalkafrica.com/ and I have a couple of questions:
1. When I click on the “Big Slide” area of the homepage, nothing happens. How do I rectify that?
2. When I post a new article, why does it post to every single block? How do I get an article to post to a particular block and not all of them?
Thanks
You would need to manually “minify” your CSS/JS. See the “PageSpeed” sticky topic for more info on optimizing your site.
Use GTMetrix.com to test your site as it will outline which issues are server or content related, and often provide optimized versions you can download and try to upload to your site.
It’s virtually impossible to remove the “render blocking” issue, as unless you build a site theme from scratch to load CSS in “sections” (impossible with a site theme like this with so many options for different types of users), there will ALWAYS be the need to load some elements before the above the fold content loads. Upshot: worry about everything ELSE and leave that for last.
One of my websites has pagespeed score of 97 with the render blocking issues still there as a warning. It’s the last thing to worry about.
Something you may wish to Google?
You can also disallow access to that folder with robots.txt to keep ‘bots from pinging it.
View your server/site logs to see where all the hits are coming from if external, and block an offending IP with CSF/firewall.
Avoid using ajax on pages with ‘penis’ in the title?
Hi,
Unfortunately that would not be easy to achieve and you would need custom work and you would also need to get someone to do that for you.
Use this custom css to target the title and style it as you like: http://screencast.com/t/53ZkJcJB
.td_block9 .entry-title a {
color: red;
}
Thanks
