+ maybe others can find it helpful in the future as well, who knows…
My main menu with WPML language switcher: http://screencast.com/t/JY2sLaaQZHtH
Well, putting the language switcher on the main-menu:
- You set the main-menu on the theme panel > header > Main Menu > Header Main Menu <br>
- You can verify this on Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations (but I think it syncs automatically)
- WPML > Languages > Language switcher in the WP Menu <br>
- Check “Display the language switcher in the WP Menu” & choose the same menu you set for the main-menu
- Do all that for the default language that you set for WPML originally & use “WPML > WP Menus Sync” to keep the menu’s sync across languages (where needed).
As for the CSS modifications, add the following to your custom CSS on the theme panel:
/* Menu Language Switcher */
.sf-menu .menu-item-language > a {
display: inline-block;
}
.sf-menu .menu-item-language > a {
text-decoration: none !important;
}
.sf-menu .menu-item-language > a {
display: block;
position: relative;
}
.sf-menu .menu-item-language > ul.sub-menu > li {
direction: ltr;
text-align: left;
}
.sf-menu .menu-item-language > ul.sub-menu > li a {
padding-right: 29px;
min-width: 1px;
padding: 0px 11px 0px 11px;
height: 48px;
line-height: 51px;
font-size: 16px;
color: #202020;
z-index: 9999;
}
.menu-item-language img.iclflag {
margin: 0 4px;
}
/* Menu Upgrade */
There’s a bit more if you are using RTL language…

virtualida. Reason: adding some image links to show what it should look like
@Lucian I must admit you gave the BEST and WORST response possible.
The best: simply because you admitted that
“Unfortunately we can not offer support for WPML”
which basically tells me to stop asking questions with regard to WPML.
The worst: because I purchased your theme, purchased WPML, invested HOURS to configure everything to be only let down that you will
remove the WMPL compatibility statement from theme’s presentation page
as well as
If you are unhappy with our theme we can offer you a refund.
I know where I stand now, I have no real choice but to continue developing on what I have, I have invested too much time to switch themes now, and WPML is at least supported by their developers whereas qTranslate has no guarantees since it’s free.
@virtualida I would definitely appreciate any help you can give me, we can keep it here in an open forum or switch to PM, whichever you prefer.
What I need to know is how to add the language bar to the MAIN MENU and have it take the proper CSS styling. Have you done that?
Hi,
Yes, you can use another block with bigger thumbnails or you can create and add your own thumbnails size by adding it in functions.php file like this: http://screencast.com/t/vOgsliMl3Rn
Then you have to modify the module that is used to build the block you use, modify it to use your image thumbs sizes like this: http://screencast.com/t/OWn10qUq6fN
You can see here which module is used to build the block you are using: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
After you changed the images size you have to regenerate thumbnails like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
From what I have noticed that you are using block 3/ module 6 for your latest articles section, if you don’t want or don’t know how to do all this you can use block 7/module 2, it has a larger image but also has excerpt.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Hey.
Well – on which pages / files do I have to remove the google Fonts?
Actually I added your code into the functions.php like this:
`function remove_cssjs_ver( $src ) {
if( strpos( $src, ‘?ver=’ ) )
$src = remove_query_arg( ‘ver’, $src );
return $src;
}
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘remove_cssjs_ver’, 10, 2 );
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘remove_cssjs_ver’, 10, 2 );`
What code should I insert into the .htaccess?
My Permalinks are user definied :
/%category%/%postname%/
Im in the same situation here.
I didn’t know about qTranslate before purchasing WPML for 199$! since I saw on themeforest
Compatible With
WPML, BuddyPress 1.9.x, WooCommerce 2.0.x, bbPress 2.5.x, Bootstrap 2.3.x
Only to find out now, that it is compatible but not supported.
I’m having similar issues as @virtualida with the menu selection of the different languages.
Where are we to put the Language selector? Can we get some assistance or a how to on this matter?
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this we will investigate.
This may happen when changing the line height or font size of the title.
Thanks for the message
Hi again,
Thanks for the information.
Meanwhile I’ve found the functionality that I want. In the new version of Newspapper is possible select the primary category that I want to show. I just simply add the code above to the blocks where I want to show this one category, the other categories will be ignored in the front page. Perfect.
Thanks
Hi,
Use this css to stretch the small thumbs of block 1:
.td_mod3 .entry-thumb {
width: 100px;
height: 65px;
}
And this css is to remove the video icon:
.iosSlider .slider .item .video-play-icon-big {
display: none;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
This is an issue that I am facing only some times, with different browsers / computers / OS, and I have seen it on different sites using Newspaper (not only mine).
Sometimes, there is a white line in block-title, as per this screenshot:

Not a very important issue, just thought I’d bring it to your attention as there might be something wrong with rendering.
You shouldn’t need to minify the css file again, if you’ve cleared the cache on your CDN so that people are loading the new minified version vs the old non-minified version. Easy to test, point your browser at the file and download to see if it’s the right one being served.
One of the items in your GTMetrix report (click the little arrows to expand each item), shows this:
•http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
Basically if you download that file and add it to the end of your style.css file, then remove the above code from your pages, you remove that issue reported in GTMetrix.
Also, I’m assuming you’ve not updated everything since the ?= versioning was still showing.
•http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.1
•http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/external/bootstrap/td-bootstrap.css?ver=4.1
•http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=4.1
ALSO: I don’t know why your posts have weird td-slug stuff vs the filenames based on pretty permalinks. That is so NOT normal, btw. Be sure to check your htaccess file to see that the block for your pretty permalinks is in there (or just resave your permalinks in wordpress general settings – and it will tell if you if the file is writable).
Do you think I should minify my “minified” stylesheet again, because insight is still complaining about that.
For the Google fonts item …
there is one trick I did, which is download that style sheet from Google being loaded for your pages, copy/paste the CSS from that file and put at bottom of your style sheet, and delete loading the Google fonts (I think you can comment that out in the functions.php file); this way the CSS is loaded as part of YOUR style sheet and NOT being loaded from Google. This saved me couple of points as one less download, and no worries about expirations or minification for the Google CSS for the fonts.
Google Fonts?
Which file should I download from where?
Sorry didn’t get that 😀
There are 4 components that can be minified
inline <script> tag #5
inline <script> tag #9
inline <script> tag #15
inline <script> tag #19
Do you know where I can find these?
@Lucian, this works fine. Stretches it a big but it still works. As for block 1 where it has the large image at the top and the mini ones below it, http://screencast.com/t/GjlJQoerhYMZ, what are your suggestions for this?
Hi,
The unique article feature doesn’t work on multiple pages, it’s build for static content.
On the page that you enable this feature a post will show only on tine in a block/slider …
You can also use offset on each block or slider if you want to jump over some posts and leave the unique article feature disabled.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
For the second one, this plugin might be helpful: https://wordpress.org/plugins/list-pages-shortcode/
Hi,
To display pages instead of categories when using block you have to edit the block and type page into the post type field like here http://screencast.com/t/ZtLAAd68m6zr
You can do the same with the slider http://screencast.com/t/wSpsMToo0eA
I don’t though how can you use this while it’s displaying only the page titles and therefor need other custom work to change this.
The theme was build to use posts not pages.
Regarding the category page using pages there is no option for doing this and it’s not an easy task. You could do it yourself if you want or hire a developer to do it for you.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
You could do it via css using this custom css:
.td_mod6 .entry-thumb {
width: 326px;
height: 159px;
}
This way you set the image to fill the image container by setting the exact width and height of the container.
You can do the same for other block if you like.
This is for block 3 images which was made using module 6, see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
This dose’t look so good though, see here:
ex:

Hope this helps!

Hi Lucian,
Silly me. I had Unique Articles enable – duh!!
many thanks :))
Ken
Hi,
Please check if you have the the “Unique Articles” feature active on your homepage http://screencast.com/t/jJDDUimpb1Fp
This may be the cause your posts only show in slider only.
Let me know if you solve this issue.
Thanks
Is it possible to use the Unique Articles feature on multiple pages at the same time without them interfering with each other?
For example:
– Unique articles on homepage from several different categories.
– Category pages built with only one category specified in the blocks where posts that was show on the homepage should be included.
I have tried it with one of my sites but it does not seem to work even though there are enough posts:
Homepage Tema Transport Homepage
One of the category page Tema Transport category page
Thank you for building an awesome WordPress theme.
Also. What about having a page resemble a “category” page, but instead of listing posts from a category, the page lists subpages of the page you are on? Is that possible?
Hi. I really like this theme and have so far used it on three seperate websites, but I have a few questions about the “blocks” you can build your front-page with.
1. Big Slider: is it possible for instance to instead of latest posts, use a set number of pages here?
2. Same with the other blocks – is it possible to use pages instead of posts? Like childpages of a page or something?
Thanks Peter for the reply.I have purged the cache but still didnt resolve the issue.I have nt used the speed booster yet.
@Radu, thanks. That sorta works. How about a regular image to fit dimensions in height and width of block 3 (or any blocks really): http://screencast.com/t/H7jkjxtt2g35
Hi @nihar105479, With the last 2 changes I found the best way to resolve all issues with cloudflare was to do a full cache purge in the settings. I then had to do a full purge on the browsers including your mobile devices, sometimes twice.
Another thing I did was under Performance settings I made sure under “Auto Minify (Web optimization)” that JS was de selected. Its better to adjust this through the booster or other plugins mentioned by others.

Hi support,
I want to show my “Featured” cat in the slider and also within a block on my homepage.
Both cats have been set to “Featured” however articles are only showing in the slider and not displaying in the block (block 4).
