Hi,
Using NewsMag for this site: https://homes.scot/
Is it possible for me to setup homepage such that articles are NOT DUPLICATED (so for instance as currently displaying the article:
“Home Reports & Single Survey” is in two categories “Buying” and “Selling” and so is displayed in both blocks.
I’d like to have it ONLY displayed in one block as per:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/
Or is that functionality only available in “Newspaper” theme?
Hi thanks for getting back,
I’m not using the post loop block, just Flex Block 1 with a load more button. How do I check if I have a plugin conflict?
Cheers!
Hi,
For what you want, you need to use a homepage that is edited with tagdiv composer.
Blocks will be set on this page, blocks that can be filtered, and for this, if you want the posts that are part of a category not to be displayed, you just have to filter the blocks not to display that category, or if you want that only 1, 2 categories to be displayed, it is possible to filter so that only the respective categories are filtered, so when a post is created and contains the category that is filtered on the block, it will appear as well, if it does not contain it, it will not appear.
For details on how filtering works, please check this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ – https://i.imgur.com/1wgj1Fy.png
Thank you!
Hi,
This can be done with tagDiv Composer, edit template, or import a blank one, and you have a lot of options in the tab layout on the blocks to hide/show the author, date, and comments.
Here is a video that will show you how to use the builder to create a website from scratch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg and documentation here https://forum.tagdiv.com/category/newspaper-8-documentation/
Thank you!
Hi,
The setting is not global you need to do it for each block, you can copy-paste the style on the blocks -> https://i.imgur.com/nKYjles.png
Thank you!

Hi,
Here is the team support. If you made changes with Elementor, then this is in conflict with tagDiv Composer, our page builder.
Please try to recreate the page using the tagdiv Composer.
Also, if you added in the post blocks from Elementor, please delete them and check after.
Thank you!
When I look at the developer tools, I get this error:

mongooz.co.kr/:1
GET https://www.mongooz.co.kr/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/images/icons/newspaper.woff?21 net::ERR_FAILED 200
I have exactly the same problem.
I have not made any changes. Appears: Instagram GalleryBlock Render Failed – Tried accessing nonexisting field (comments_count) on node type (Media)
We’ve had a problem with the theme panel not saving settings on one of our pages https://www.crossover.si/ for quite some time. It is only showing infinite scroll and nothing happens once settings have been changed. I talked to the hosting provider to check if .htaccess file contains a deny code and they said everything is fine and there is no security plugins. The cache is working correctly on the backend and security module is not blocking the admin-ajax.php request. I have deactivated all the plugins and activated them back again and nothing seems to work. Can you please provide a solution to this, as I don’t have any more ideas and this thread did not help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/theme-panel-settings-are-not-saving-2/
I will do some tests with my personal account. Please let me know if you use the element from Theme Panel -> Footer or the Instagram widget from tagDiv Composer.
We use the first one, theme panel’s footer. https://i.imgur.com/IptXBQZ.png
Hi,
Please check if this code is missing from your .htaccess: https://www.screencast.com/t/iN0R93dD3p from our requirements https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ this requirement is not displayed in System Status.
Usually, after you set the code in .htaccess the WP editor works well.
Also, please check this guide about deny code https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/ ->
Please do a test using only tagDiv plugins and try to open the WP Editor.
Please check the console https://imgur.com/bRYwbvE if you have any errors when you try to open the wp editor, maybe is 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 donβt use a security plugin, please ask your host about this, maybe you have a security module that blocks this.
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.
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, indeed seems there is some issue.
I checked and I saw that you use Flex Block 1, if you use the Posts Loop block, the issue persists.
Also, can you check if you don’t have a plugin conflict?
Thank you!
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have animation on the text, so I need to know exactly what elements you use, Flex Block, text with title to provide a CSS to have that effect.
Thank you!
Hi,
we have again the same issue after last update. The Private Account is still connected and not expired, but the Instagram gallery is not shown.
Instead, there is an error: Block Render Failed β Tried accessing nonexisting field (comments_count) on node type (Media)

Please clarify where I should insert this code.
Thanks Calin.
On the hamburger menu background: Is there a way that we can add a class to that DIV that holds the background image on the mobile hamburger menu/search menu? I don’t think we can set a defer value using CSS and having to write JS to find it will likely incur even bigger penalties in PSI.
On the images on viewports such as mobile, being too big:
Do you mean loading the original template as a mobile template and swapping out those values in Flex Blocks? I’m try to avoid separate mobile templates, as it easily doubles my work and it becomes ever harder to maintain two versions.
Hopefully in the future a dropdown per viewport inside the theme will allow us to choose which size to load. π
Kudos on the theme, btw. It’s stellar!
I receive a message from newspaper admin panel like these (for example)
An issue has been encountered while trying to validate your license key
Please reset the key from the System status tab and try to activate it again, or contact our customer support team at contact@tagdiv.com.
If you don’t have a valid license key, you can get one now and continue to enjoy the full benefits of this great product.
Buy Newspaper Theme
When i work on a template and try to add a block (i.e.) it does not appears, it maintains “thinking” and is not loaded. I have 2 licenses bought from 2 different accounts in envato:
Newspaper (www.trplane.com) 81a248832-2b36-4a20-a109-xxxxxxxxxxxx (working with no problem)
Newspaper (aesidu.trplane.com) 86fc1a79-7175-4336-9859-xxxxxxxxxxxx (provisional until web is finished)
What could it be?
Thx

Hi,
For the mobile background color, what I can suggest is to clear the background color from the theme panel – https://i.imgur.com/tbHbRIu.png and try to use a background – image – https://i.imgur.com/DIKZcmT.png or an alternative will be to set the background image using a custom css that will be add in the body content to be used only after the content is loaded.
I understand, not really for the moment flex blocks do not allow selecting a different image size for the mobile version, this problem can be solved using a mobile page template for the single element and change only the essential elements, such as the thumbs – https://prnt.sc/hpBWwXASLeF9 – https://i.imgur.com/9qRH9JA.png convert header and footer too – https://prnt.sc/ASiv_cYqALhq – https://i.imgur.com/UXw4W7e.png
Thank you!
Hi chrisfoxatx,
1. For the size of the images you have, you have perfectly selected the thumbs to use – https://i.imgur.com/UM6OgFa.png They work like this after they are activated in the theme panel, these thumbs are created for each image that is loaded in the media, now the problem is with the ones that are already loaded, for these, you have to use a regeneration plugin that should resolve the problem with the retina resolution.
Normally when you select that thumb, for example, 696×0, the thumb with the size 696xauto and retina size will be used instead of the original image.
2. You should use the retina option for all 3 sizes of thumbs you use, this way you will get the best result on both windows and retina (don’t forget to regenerate the images if these options were not selected from the beginning, i.e. before adding the images to the media, and when regenerating select delete all thumbs and regenerate new ones).
3. When you edit the flex element with tagDiv Composer you have the option to select the size of the thumb, as a suggestion I recommended using a middle size because it cannot be adjusted per viewport, it can only be changed if you use the mobile page template.
Also, if the retina thumb is selected in the theme panel and the image has been regenerated, when you select, for example, the 696×0 thumb on windows, the retina thumb corresponding to the 696×0 thumb will be automatically used when a retina device is used.
4. Unfortunately here I can not suggest the best of all with the theme, but a plugin that is ok with the theme is EWWW Image Optimizer , but I have seen many users who also use Smush and Imagify.
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Likely reasons:
1) You have articles loading through AJAX on Flex Block 1 elements. Make sure to enable caching 5 minutes or longer on those blocks. It’s in the bottom of filter or layout or so.
2) Make sure to run an object caching plugin such as REDIS or MemCached. It will store all those expensive lookups on disk in memory instead.
3) Serve your site through a better protocol such as http/2 or QUIC. It will help get the data quicker to the audience.
4) Look at Google PageSpeed Insights on how to further improve your performance score.
Good luck
Hello,
You can try to hide the date from Theme Panel -> Block Settings -> Meta info on Modules/Blocks => https://www.screencast.com/t/CvxrWymeyk
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
