Hi,
You can’t add it in menu because that works as a Widget.
You can show the top menu on mobile, now is hidden, you can show it adding this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-header-menu-wrap {
display: block;
}
}Hope this help!
Thanks for your message!
See the pagespeed topic for more information on optimizing your site. This is not specifically unique to this theme – it’s an issue with *all* websites and WordPress.
Start here
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
You might need to do some custom work, such as found in the theme documentation:

Hi.
How can I eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content?
Google page speed wrote me. Your page has 1 blocking CSS resources.

I have one other site that this is working on. I simply added a short code inside of a raw html block and it worked.
On my second site how ever I did the exact same thing and all thats happening is that the short code is being displayed as text.
Any idea why it might work on one and not the other? I have ran threw and checked all my plugins are the same and are the same version.

look at the standard sizes found in the theme docs, here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
I think we did
sm = 100×65
md = 326×159
lg = 700×357
NOTE: I highly recommend adding a custom compression amount to photos for WP as I’ve found that some of the pix created by theme with default WP compression level are waaaay to big.
For example on our site which is not yet optimized,
original article image 700×406 I uploaded is 31.14kb
http://publishersnewswire.com/META/PNW-Feb14-loudest.jpg
the theme/and WP created a 700×357 version, 63kb (!).
The hack to add the compression amount down to something like “50” is someplace in my prior posts. Recommended!!!
—updated——–
the code:
add the following code to your functions.php file in the theme root at the end –or– in your child theme (TIP: stop using a child theme)
add_filter( ‘jpeg_quality’, create_function( ”, ‘return 50;’ ) );
– then run the regenerate thumbnails plugin under wp admin > tools
EDIT (( AND REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR ORIGINAL PIX FIRST – !! ))
And one more FYI:
ga-ga is our test/optimization site
PNW is our “stock” site being used for comparison
(I have been called to other projects the past month and not working on either … hence why I was not around here for couple of weeks … and I will disappear again next week… sigh….deadlines!)
It might be useful to put a link on the header block “text with the title”.
How can I do this?
Thank’s
another “solution” will be to group (decrees) the number of items in the menu.
Sorry but for a theme type magazine I do not find it acceptable as a solution.
Magazine site is intended to deal with many subjects.
5 items in Top menu, and 7 in the main seems to be reasonable.
Thanks for clarifying. I’ll stick to the image with links approach.

Hi,
Please follow the Christopher direction. About minifying, you can manually do that using tools like https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/
To hide the big slider arrow use this CSS
.td_block_slide_big .prevButton,
.td_block_slide_big .nextButton {
display: none;
}Can’t stop the sliding, because is a slide, sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for your message!
You can change it from CSS, but this is for some blocks, you have to change only from that you use in your case.
.td_mod2 .entry-title a,
.td_mod2 .entry-title,
.td_mod3 .entry-title,
.td_mod3 .entry-title a,
.td_mod5 .entry-title a,
.td_mod5 .entry-title,
.td_mod6 .entry-title,
.td_mod6 .entry-title a
{
font-weight: bold;
color: #4DB2EC !important;
}You have changed the content font size, line-height? Can be fixed via CSS but should be fixed only for your case. Give me a link to see the issue.
Thanks!
Hey Marius,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Sadly, this sorting query doesn’t work. It’s being ignored. It still sorts via post creation date – not actual event date. Hmmmh…
Any idea?
Cheers
would be cool if instead of the category block it illuminated it on the menu
Hi,
Create a new sorting option for block like: 'Upcoming events' => 'upcoming'
http://screencast.com/t/KSZwIHciLGBb
Add this code:
case 'upcoming':
$wp_query_args['orderby'] = 'event_start_date';
$wp_query_args['order'] = 'ASC';
break;http://screencast.com/t/r3NgmTl6hev
Now you can order by upcoming date http://screencast.com/t/xSB8Cyei
Here are all attributes that you can use for other sorting type: http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/
Thanks!
Hi,
You can set the blocks to get pages to, but pages doesn’t have categories and you don;t have control about what you will get in the block, the block will get all pages if you set PAGE on post type.
There will no negative performance.
Thanks for your message!
Hi,
In the block or slide options, it would be very nice if we have ability to sort posts by views. Is it technically possible? Is this feature may be considered in the future?
Thanks.
Sorry, but the translation still does not work…
– In the “Theme – options/Translation”, I can not change some phrases such as:
– “We’re sorry, but the page you are looking for does not exist.”
– “If you’re not happy with the results, please do another search”
– “No results for your search”
Hi Marius,
works like a charm. Thanks very much.
My problem now: I’m pulling custom post types from Events Manager plugin into your block.
The sorting works obviously via the creation date. Is it possible to edit the
$wp_query_args[‘orderby’] = ‘date’;
to order by the events manager date (the date the event actually happens (which is in the future mostly, so wouldn’t be displayed with your query)
Here the events manager columns:
post_type = “events”
Post: “EM_Event_Post”
Date: “the_date”
Cheers
Thanks Radu for your quick response. I will do that.
Will the images and links option have any negative affect on my site with regard to performance or SEO (i.e. is this against best practice, or is it OK to work in this way)?
Gavin
Hi, I thing the correct word is Oldest 🙂 Sorry for my spelling
Hi,
1. Add this code: 'Older' => 'older', http://screencast.com/t/H05LvbnKSc1H
2. Add this code:
case 'older':
$wp_query_args['orderby'] = 'date';
$wp_query_args['order'] = 'ASC';
break;like here: http://screencast.com/t/rZsVKY8pJC

Nobody will take a look on a desktop pc by resizing the browser.
I’m not convinced. Personally I often divide my screen in 2 parts to work. I do not presume uses of each.
In any case, I want to at least be sure that my menu is displayed on a 1024×768 screen, and on smaller sizes, the end of the menu does not go on a second line.
Hi,
1. Do you mean about this? http://screencast.com/t/03cMQbydJ to be bold?
Use this:
.block-title a, .block-title span, .block-title label {
font-weight: 700;
}2. Please show me a screenshot with what you want, sorry but i don’t understand your question here.
Thanks!
hi,
this can be done by modifying the source of the theme.
but i advice you to take the solution with images with links
Thanks for you message.

Hi,
At this moment the theme have Blocks from 1 to 9 http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1-2/
If you want to create a new block you can take a look here to see how is built a block http://screencast.com/t/vATuIcLkw
Is a little complicated because a block should work on 1, 2, 3 columns + responsive.
Thanks!
Firstly I would like to thank you for the excellent theme. I am very new to WordPress, but the ease of use and simplicity of Newspaper has helped a lot.
I have a quick question, which is probably quite basic but, as I say, I’m new to all this.
When I create a home page with a set of blocks displaying articles, I can see how you can set it up to show certain posts, for example featured ones, or ones of a certain category. I understand this much. However, can you do the same for pages? What I would like to do is have some visual images on my home page which take me to other pages, such as a ‘reviews’ page, or an ‘about us’ page. I can do this as images with links, but it would be much neater to do it in the same way as posts, using featured images. Is this possible?
