Hi,
Is not outdated, the solution works great, please read carefully the entire tread.
You have an old version? older then 3? Because we have changed the code a lot.
Something is wrong in your code.
The solution above is for the loop, latest article: http://screencast.com/t/naTmufN1S
For block works only if you use the full layout in visual composer and use the Default template with sidebar that force the layout on 2 columns.
hi,
identify what modules you are using in your blocks : http://screencast.com/t/nOoUIJXl
then : http://screencast.com/t/eyG51lYZMR
Thanks for you message.

Hi Radu
The theme is fantastic and no matter what I will use and work around it. 😉
I discovered that turning on the ‘show author box’ solved the ‘hatom-feed hatom-entry Error’ This is now fine. I can now see the rating stars in Google but my image wont show because of this:
Error: No rich snippet will be generated for this data, because it appears to include multiple reviews of an item, but no aggregate review information
Replies to this in the WordPress forum: There’s something wrong with the rating block/plugin average rating configuration.
Could you possible take a look at my site. It could be like my hatom-feed where simply I haven’t enabled something. If we can’t get this working I’ll just turn all the posts into ratings from stars. It is a fantastic theme and I appreciate your support
Hi Marius,
I tried to install Advanced Custom Fields like you suggest in the post [https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/function-to-hide-ads-and-function-to-show-author/#post-9187], but I believe the instructions are outdated.
I can’t see this image posted by you on Screencast:
Then add this code and !get_field(‘hide_ad’) like here: http://screencast.com/t/5FOgXORGMMpand
AND if i do this: http://screencast.com/t/5FOgXORGMMp
I get this message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LOGICAL_AND in /home/getro/www/getrao/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-v3/includes/modules/module_modifier/td_module_blog.php on line 41
I’m doing something wrong or the code change since Newspaper Theme Version 3.0?
Regards,
Cybergetro

On my sites, the ad in top bar, below article, and sidebar already “auto center” using the “responsive” AdSense code from Google.
I think Marius needs to know an example (a case) where you are having the ads NOT centered, such as a custom block of text, or what exactly. A link to page, post, or where you’re using the AdSense code on your site and if you’re manually putting into your template or using the Newspaper theme admin panel “AD” boxes to insert the code.
I’ve installed the ajax_the_view and wp-postviews plugins and it show the views on the post pages, but it doesn’t show the views on the homepage and category pages. I use block 2 and 3 on the homepage and module 6 and 7 on the category pages. Also, the views wont show on post pages on mobile.
Also, those plugins slowed down my website. Most visitors won’t noticed because of the cached pages created by WP Super Cache.
It works now! Thanks..How can I add author name in blocks?
This also happened to our site this morning with the upgrade to wordpress 3.9. The Visual Composer HTML block doesn’t show any of the kitchen items and leaves what appears to be blank. You can click on the Text tab and that will show you what content was in the column. You will need to work with pure HTML coding to edit/add information. This is a workaround.
Here is what I found on the Visual Composer site:
09.04.2014 – ver 4.0.5
– Compatibility with new TinyMCE version in WordPress 3.9 added

Hi,
I made changes accordingly, and changed the custom column at the visual editor

But it’s not working
http://deepciel.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Screen-Shot-2014-04-17-at-10.17.22-PM.jpg
Please assist.
Thanks.
Thx,
I will try it later
If the code change to check tags eg. noads , then will not show ads, it will better as no plugin is needed 🙂
Hi,
Add this code echo td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'custom_ad_1')); like here: http://screencast.com/t/t1CDP5kDZ
And you can use the Custom AD 1 for that area.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can sett an offset for each block i mean to start from x post number. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=–jQZbzteU4
Thanks!
Hi,
Here is a solution: http://screencast.com/t/JhEy6E8su
Replace this with the code above: http://screencast.com/t/juOEmOlarAY
if (td_util::is_ad_spot_enabled('content_inline') and is_single() ) {
$content_buffer = ''; // we replace the content with this buffer at the ened
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = explode('<p>', $content);
$halfway_mark = ceil(count($content) / 2);
$first_half_content = implode(' ', array_slice($content, 0, $halfway_mark));
$second_half_content = implode(' ', array_slice($content, $halfway_mark));
$content_buffer .= $first_half_content;
switch ($tds_inline_ad_align) {
case 'left':
$content_buffer .= td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'content_inline', 'align' => 'left'));
break;
case 'right':
$content_buffer .= td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'content_inline', 'align' => 'right'));
break;
default:
$content_buffer .= td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_ad_box')->render(array('spot_id' => 'content_inline'));
break;
}
$content_buffer .= $second_half_content;
$content = $content_buffer;
}
Share 🙂
Of manual add condition by post ID and this will work without any plugins.
Hi,
Here is an implementation, take a look on the entire tread. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/function-to-hide-ads-and-function-to-show-author/#post-9187
Thanks!
Hi,
You can change it on 3 columns but will affect entire modules. You can try it and see if work correctly.
Change like here:
1. http://screencast.com/t/CNni9IVMB
2. http://screencast.com/t/jk2hpONCOdI
Thanks!

try to set the Big Slide to show post from another category, see if it works.

Thanks for you message.

Hi,
I found this, if is usefull: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1306778?hl=en
They say this:
Google will only show authorship in search results when we think it will be useful to the user
Seems like Google decide if the image will show up or not.
Thanks for the message!
Have a nice day!
Not easily. Used to be a hack using SMS. But Google has been slavishly trying to block most methods to auto-post to G+. The “SNAP” plugin can do it, for a price, which is what we’re moving toward using.
What do you mean with offset filter? How does that work?
Hi there,
I had the same problem. It’s due to the fact that the the_views function in wp-postviews.php reads the value of the “views” custom field from the homepage instead of the single posts mentioned in the blocks, so all counters on the homepage show the same value.
I fixed this commenting out
//$post_views = the_views(false); in td_module.php
and adding
$post_views = get_post_meta( $this->post->ID, 'views', true );
which reads the value of the views custom field of each single post. It seems to be working so far… but be careful, it has some implications, as it overrides the the_views function.
Hi,
Is not possible. The theme have the build in grid system and can’t be changed easily, sorry for the inconvenience!
All blocks are based on the grid and if you change the grid all things will be affected.
Thanks for the message!
