Search Results for 'block'

It would be useful to have a custom taxonomy, say “Issue”, so that posts can be associated with a particular “Issue” or “Edition” of the newspaper. Now the post can be in, say, category: “Sports” and in issue: “25” and effectively allow back-issue archives. And chance of adding this to a wishlist? This seems kind of obvious for a newspaper theme. (There would need to be filters for this custom taxonomy on any shortcode/VC-element that produces a list of posts, like the Block elements in Visual Composer.)

I want to thank the developers here for offering such great, quick support. As we all know, you truly back up your theme with excellent work and help. I’ve convinced friends to use this theme because of the awesome support. So, thanks again!

Now the reason for my posting today:

Could someone please give me a guide to create the following block, like the mockup I’ve linked to below? Basically, I want a photo teaser to an article to span two full columns while 4 smaller teasers sit below it.

Here’s an example: Mockup link

I appreciate the help.

Hi again, So I get the following scores on http://www.styzic.com
Desktop = 97
Mobile = 60

https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=www.styzic.com

On desktop adsense ads are enabled and it’s still fair and better than theme demo page ( score = 90). But two things that are annoying for on mobile are:

1) Optimize Images: I have optimized all images and this warning does not show on desktop but only on Mobile. When I turn jetpack photon off the warning is gone. Jetpack uses quer strings to resize images and that’s the reason.

2) Eliminate render-blocking CSS: This warning doesn’t occurs for js as they are defered. My css are at the bottom of the page but still this warning appears. I’ve minified the css files.

So, any bdy out here who might be so generous to help with Photon and async css?
I’ve tried all plugins in the sticky threads here but none of them could async the 3 css files.

Thanks, Shashank 🙂

I tried many times to clear render blocking css and JS but not successful. I hope someone here will help me out.

Hello, how can I get specific custom post types to display within the different blocks in VC?

I have made both custom pages (Destinations) and custom taxonomy (countries), and I want each specific destination page to basically be block page with only one specific taxonomy id per block. Right now it only has options for category ids.

Thanks in advance!

When we upgrade to the latest version of Newspaper, the Big Slide we have been using for 6+ months without issue, all of a sudden it “skips” two whole slides on each rotation of the animation effect.

So there are two big white blocks, then the actual images show. Then at the end of the silde rotation, the two white spaces show again.

This repeats on each big slider rotation.

I would show a link, but we reverted back to the old version of the theme as this was happening.

Has anyone else had this trouble or is this a known bug? I could not find anything else about this same trouble.
