Hi there
Is there an option or workaround to filter ‘Random’ to select more then 7 days, but less than ‘Random forever’?
For any Flex Block > Filter > Random: The options are either: Random / Random today / Random 7 days.
So for example, Random the last 3 months?
Hi,
So if the posts don’t have the featured image, then they will display a blank thumb; you can set a placeholder.
You can set a Placeholder in Theme Panel -> Blocks Settings -> https://i.imgur.com/mo0Cbu2.png.
Thank you!
Hello, I purchased your theme two days ago and I have a question.
The width of my home page does not match the width of the posts page and other pages.
It doesn’t match by about 20 pixels on the left and right sides.
I’m talking about the header, the footer, and the body of the page.
I tried Force Full Width for Header, Header menu dnd Footer but to no avail.
The only success I had was with the Page Tamplete> PAGE LAYOUT SIZE> Full Witdh (with paddings).
I have exported from three different templates.
One template is for the home page, another template I use for the header and footer.
On the home page, everything matches exactly.
But when I make the blog post page, both the header and footer and body don’t match the width of the home page. I put everything at 100% width and still there is a difference in pixels.
Upon inspection, I see the same css code:
.td-pb-row [class*=”td-pb-span”] {
display: block;
min-height: 1px;
float: left;
padding-right: 24px;
padding-left: 24px;
position: relative;
}
but when i change the code with
padding-right: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
The home page is full screen width, but the blog post page (the header, footer and body) has an extra 10 pixels on both sides – left and right.
I tried everything, but after two days of wandering, trial and error, I decided I needed help.
So what do I do to make all my pages look the same width?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello, I’m using Newspaper template. Now I want to create a feature that when user hover on an image in block (Flex block, Big Grid Flex,..) then a short video will be played (similar this: https://www.crazygames.com). So how to do this? Thank you.
Hello,
1. Yes, I am using two flex blocks but need the first to show ONLY the latest STICKY post, not the other several posts from that day that may be posted after. The other flex block uses the offset feature.
2. I have the cloud template assigned https://prnt.sc/v4HiBBs6kO5v to Durant Hugo https://vypeplusok.com/category/durant-hugo/ but it does not affect categories with no template assigned such as https://vypeplusok.com/category/players-to-watch/
Your screencast is upside down. Also, it’s not clear what you’re changing and in what order as yours is in Russian.
Can you please provide a step by step on how to fix the template so that the article body displays before the “related stories” block on mobile. Also, I would like this to apply to all posts. Will editing the template from the back-end wordpress “cloud templates” area achieve this?
Thank you.
Can I mix posts with images and without images in the same block? Because there are posts without images!
I’m waiting!
1. I follow the process but when the counter is at zero, it still shows the product on the favourites page. As per documentation it seems that I´m only ordering by favourites, but not telling the block that if there are no favourites it should show nothing at all. Any way to force it to don’t show anything when the counter is at zero? Or maybe it isn’t working as expected?
2. It works now that I used bigger images. With smaller ones it has no effect.
3. Ok, probably plugin conflict.
Thanks
Hi,
You can change the order of columns on mobile and after the block, after the post content -> https://www.screencast.com/t/kbLa0WnN
Thank you!
I understand Bettina. For a post to be displayed twice is a dealbreaker. Is there something me or the theme’s development team can do to tackle this bug?
In the end of the day, I want to use Flex Block or Posts Loop to display all of the posts of a single category with random order and pagination at the same time. I do not think that this is a special request.
Thank you your fast reply Bettina!
I am using the Flex Block with only one filter and the result I am getting is the one described in my original post. You can see the Flex Block 1 configuration here. Did I do something wrong in the configuration?
In the url you provided, it states clearly “Do not use this sorting option together with pagination as it could result in duplicate posts.”. So, there is no way at all to use the Flex Block with random sort order and pagination at the same time? If so, I think it is a very weird limitation. Haven’t seen such a limitation on other WordPress themes like Avada or in PHP Frameworks like CodeIgniter. I am sure there is something the development team can do to fix this bug.
Hi,
Please also, check what image size you have set on the block -> https://i.imgur.com/l8LJAAv.png
Thank you!
Hello @agiannaros !
You can use a flex block with only one filter, and it will work. The random sort will not take into account which post will be displayed. Read all about it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello @liliaf !
1. Use two flex blocks, for example. The first can be limited to showing only one post, and the second can display the rest of them with offset 1. https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/ https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
2. Please assign a cloud template when you view it in frontend: https://prnt.sc/LG-galJ02Fay
Thank you!
Hello,
I think that you use a new prebuilt website. You need to edit the prebuilt website select the block and set a module https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/ or you can use the posts loop element -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/posts-loop/
Thank you!
I think I just figured the author block out. (I had to create a mobile template.)
Also, I see the author block here: https://app.screencast.com/nNSBlAY9FUI9K, but I don’t want it to on this post. It does not show up on the TagDiv Editor but, for some reason, it still shows up on my phone.
Hello everyone,
I am a newbie when it comes to your theme and the tagDiv Composer. Though I believe there is still some way to go regarding the development of the tagDiv Composer, I find it a very good builder that has all the required elements to build a news portal. My first attempt at utilizing your Newspaper theme to build such a portal is with the http://www.vasilisaivalis.gr website.
On the aforementioned site, I have created a Category template using the Cloud templates. This template utilizes the Flex Block 1 to present some people (candidates). Each person (candidate) on this list has a single post dedicated to him. So, the Flex Block 1 takes on the task of presenting all the posts that belong to the post category “Candidates” and it does that in a very good way.
A required characteristic of this presentation is that the Candidates (posts that belong on the post category named “Candidates”) are being displayed in a random order rather than alphabetically, time added or any other way for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, the “random” sort order does not work as intended. To be more specific, I guess there is a bug due to which some of the 111 candidates (the plan is that another 70 candidates at least will be added on the list) appear twice on the list (or three times I guess). Therefore, if candidate A appears on the list twice, in addition to the obvious problem that arises, there will be on candidate from the rest that will never appear because his slot will be taken from the candidate A. It seems like the database query that is being sent when loading more candidates via pagination method does not take into account the candidates (posts) that already appeared. Screenshot of the problem here.
Am I doing something wrong with the Flex Block 1 configuration? I guess if this bug actually existed then someone would have already brought it to your attention and you would have already fixed it. Using the Posts Loop widget would be more than fine for me but it does not seem to provide the random sort option at all. The initial Newspaper theme deployment was at version 12.5 and I just upgraded it to 12.5.1 but nothing changed. The WordPress core is at version 6.3.
I would be more than happy to provide administrator credentials to the support staff of the development team if needed. Until the problem is fixed, I am using the Posts Loop 2 widget with the “oldest posts” sort order.
Thank you for taking the time to read my topic.
I’m not referring to that. I’m referring to:
this – https://app.screencast.com/qOFMEqEP0Q8Zr (header)
and
this – https://app.screencast.com/2aekR9DiFk7VX (author block)
Essentially, I want to control where the ads will (and won’t) show up in the content.
Thanks,
Ken
Hi , I´m having some issues with Woo commerce + Newspaper theme:
(Pictures: https://imgur.com/a/AOHUpvG)
1. Woo Menu Favorites is not counting items added to /Wishlist page (TI WooCommerce Wishlist plugin used).
Short code used inside column text element: [ti_wishlistsview].
Is there a way for this to work? Or how can I use the Woo Menu Favourites in a native way only using Tag Div Shop? Is there documentation on how to use this block?
2. Zoom not working on product images. The zoom button is present, but it only shows a normal slideshow gallery once pressed. Tried all common zoom plugins and none worked, it seems the theme is not compatible with them.
I know there´s a code floating around the forum regarding zoom. Is there a way to solve this without editing functions.php file? In case it isn´t, can you point me step by step how to edit this? I´m new to coding and don´t want to break my site.
3. Search results are eliminated once I change in Theme Panel the search template from the default – Theme Template – to a Cloud Library Woo search specific template. Curiously enough, the woo posts block still shows the correct results in composer editing mode, but not outside of it.
I´m using Relevanssi plugin, but this happens with it deactivated too, and their documentation says they should not have Woo commerce problems anymore since lasts updates.
Many thanks!
Jonatan
Hello @maquinero !
Please check the console to see which error you encounter there.
It’s possible to be from the firewall or security module which blocks the admin-ajax.php request, which usually displays a 403 or 404 error.
If you don’t use a security plugin, please ask your host about this, maybe you have a security module that blocks this.
If you use a plugin like Wordfence please set it in learning mode.
Also, if you are using Cloudflare, please make sure that is set as in our guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/, you need to disable the Rocket Loader.
Examine some other potential interfering factors: https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
Hello @msassanelli !
Unfortunately, we do not have any features that can help a block or title disappear.
Thank you!
Hi,
By default, if there are no posts in the block, then the block will not be displayed.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please edit the cloud template with tagDiv Composer -> https://i.imgur.com/j8YvKks.png click on the block and remove the offset -> https://i.imgur.com/dJ0iFQu.png let that field empty.
Thank you!
Hi,
No, you need to add your image in Block settings.
Thank you!
