Hi Lucian,
Can’t I just use one image and show it on all of the blocks?
Hi,
Are you using Jetpack Photon â http://jetpack.me/support/photon/ or a similar CDN plugin ? I noticed that your images link contain this resize=480%2C360 which makes the image link looks like this â http://i1.wp.com/thatcoolwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/hqdefault1.jpg?resize=480%2C360
Without this CDN the link should be something like this: http://192.168.0.70/wp_demo_009/3/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/maxresdefault41-745x483.jpg
I think this could be the reason for this issue. Please disable all plugins including CDN and then regenerate thumbnails https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ and also remove and add the link for the featured video again for that post.
Regarding the infinite scroll you already have an loading in progress animation http://screencast.com/t/zca13IONyC which it’s positioned at the center of the block.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hello,
I have a quicj question… I am using the below to style the big slider and add shadow but for some reason there is a margin in the bottom for the shadow. Here is what I added to the custom css
.td-big-slide-background .td_block_big_grid {
box-shadow: 0 0 15px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
}
Am I doing something wrong? Here is the screenshot http://greekreporter.com/files/2014/08/Screen-Shot-2014-08-20-at-4.06.19-AM.png
Thank you for your help.

Hi, that video thumbnail in slider is giving problem for one video
check the screenshot
http://www.screencast.com/t/V5FxvCEu6o4
Its working fine on the other slider, you can check the website
thatcoolwebsite.com
Also, i changed the Block 9 pagination to Infinite scroll, with Post Limit is 5. Now when i scroll down, the whole page whitens, as for the loading new posts. How can i change it to something like a text at scroll end with Loading or a progress bar like in case of infinite scroll.
Hi,
When you upload and image WordPress automatically crops that image on multiple sizes and based on that function the thumbs needed by the theme to the different modules you are using are made https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
You can read more about this here:
1. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
2. http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/

Hi,
Yes, you can use the “Homepage â bg â no article list” page template for your Homepage http://screencast.com/t/VTFrs9KuFE And then you can hide the big slider using this css:
.page .td-big-slide-background .td_block_big_grid {
display: none;
}
Result: http://screencast.com/t/Zwocn3wz26aU

Hi,
The best way to use only fresh posts from a category would be to chose a specific category and then use the “latest” sort order feature from block editing, this way you will have all the time the latest post from that category shown into that block.
Another option if you want them random you could use the other 2 sort order type “Random posts today” – would be the best if you add posts daily or “Random posts from last 7 days” – if you add posts once 2 or 3 days for example http://screencast.com/t/LezYULX5i
Hope this helps!

Hi,
To use the classic blog style you will have to set it from theme panel > welcome > import predefined styles: http://screencast.com/t/7pxdUWa633t
Unfortunately if you set this style then the whole site will look and use that style and you can’t use it just for one or two blocks.
So if you want to use that style you need to change the whole site style from theme panel.
Sorry about this
Thanks for the message
Hi
Recently, I disabled few image sizes that the theme generates by tweaking a few code on functions.php. But I would like to completely disable image generating and use the cropping function.
For example, if I upload a 1024×768 image, the theme would crop it or just crop it to fit the <div>. I really don’t like the fact that this themes generates a lot of images and to be honest, I use almost all of the blocks throughout my site. So, I couldn’t disable many sizes.
Please let me know if it is possible or not.
Cheers!
Hello team,
Hope this is possible with Newspaper.
How can I show one fresh post per category. Also if possible, randomize so the site becomes more sticky.
Right now, I have created 10 individuals block 6’s – each assigned to a specific category showing a single post. I’m sure it can be done better!
Please see this example:
http://www.wired.com/
I’m not forcing any one to install no plugins,i’m just sharing what works for me with out any issues..it’s up to the user to install it at they own risk..bless
Good job you are doing there but seriously, i wouldn’t recommend to install these untested, unknown plugins.
I once did it and after some months i had to note that many visitors had problems with the rendering etc, even though i couldn’t simulate that problem.
Even caching plugins can make a lot of problems, there can’t be any ‘perfect settings’ because it depends on many factors, may it even be your web hoster.
Be careful guys with these system-interfering plugins đ
The problem I am having is I want to use 2 blocks and then have it look like the classic style down the rest of the page. Which block for classic style.
Hi,
I have added this feature on our list and we will try to implement it in future updates.

Hi,
Plaese just remove the mb_strtoupper() function, like this: http://screencast.com/t/WsY0sHSu
Thanks
I solved it.
It’s the “social counter” and not the “social icons”. That’s why did not display in the right sidebar.
1) However, because the social counter is not like yours? with icons of social?
mine: http://www.saluteorale.it/problem/lamiasaluteorale-social.jpg
your: http://www.saluteorale.it/problem/newspaper.jpg
2) Also the icons darts in the blocks of items do not work for me and also the button that brings me back at the beginning of the page does not appear.
can you tell me a solution?
thank you very much for your attention!

Hi,
You can use different blocks on the same page, like this: http://screencast.com/t/fSrUrczHrqpe
It will look like this: http://screencast.com/t/wtb5LNHJxj
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
Please try this css:
.home .td-big-slide-background .td_block_big_grid {

}
Should work fine now: http://screencast.com/t/xe0i4n77z6Mm
Thanks

The category titles on the VC Blocks (Block 1, Block 2, etc) and widget titles are always uppercase. Changing this to “None” or “Capitalise” in the theme panel has no effect. Changing it to “Lowercase” works. When I inspect the HTML source in the browser I see that the string is presented as uppercase – so I suspect that it is converted with PHP strtoupper() before it gets to the browser. Of course, CSS text-transform: capitalize; does not work on all-caps strings.
Where and how do I fix this?

Hi,
You can add them like this: http://screencast.com/t/Ixrr28AE
This is the code added there:
echo $this->current_post->get_author();
echo $this->current_post->get_date();
Then use this custom css to style them:
.iosSlider .td-block-author {
position: relative;
top: -20px;
color: white;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.iosSlider time {
position: relative;
top: -20px;
color: white;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.iosSlider .td-block-author a {
color: white;
}
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi,
You can hide them via css, if you want to hide the whole meta info you can use this custom css into the custom css field in theme panel:
.archive .meta-info, .home .item-details .meta-info {
display: none;
}
or you can target the category/author/date/views & comments count individual like this and hide them:
.archive .meta-info .td-category, .archive .meta-info .td-block-author, .archive .meta-info .entry-date, .archive .meta-info .entry-comments-views,
.home .item-details .meta-info .td-category, .home .item-details .meta-info .td-block-author, .home .item-details .meta-info .entry-date, .home .item-details .meta-info .entry-comments-views {
display: none;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
The above selector is applied for the post title and for post title from blocks we have a much stronger selector that overwrite the above rule.
I’ve tested those templates 2 and 5 and my blocks from sidebar looks fine. I will fix the CSS to be more specific for the post title.
Thanks for the message!
