Hello,
the problem is that Flex blocks types cannot be used between widgets when composing the sidebar, widgets include only [tagDiv] Block 1..25.
Thanks
Hi Calin,
Thanks for your reply. In that case, you might want to consider updating your documentation:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-theme-colors-introduction/
In Newsmag > Theme Panel > Theme Color, there are 4 areas to manage colors for your website:
“General theme colors – Set or change colors for the Theme’s accent (hover, links, buttons, Ajax load animation color) and Background.
Header section – This area allows you to set or change colors for the Top Menu (Background, Top menu text, Top menu text hover, Social icons, Social icons hover color), Main Menu (Menu background, Active and hover, Menu text color), Mobile Menu / Mobile Search (menu bar background color, menu bar icons color, background gradient color, text/icons color, active/hover text color, buttons background/text color) and Header (background color).
Footer section – In this area, you can customize the colors for the footer and sub-footer (both background and text color)
Content area – This section allows you to add or change colors for posts (title, blocks, author name, text, blockquote, and H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 Color) and pages (title, text and H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 Color).”
Thanks Anamaria, your response was very informative. I’m starting to understand how it’s supposed to work, but it’s still not working. Here you can see that I have the 300×0 thumb enabled, which is supposed to work for Flex Block 1:
https://ibb.co/GFytpck
Here you can see that I am using Flex Block 1 for the sidebar and have the image size set to Small – 300×0:
https://ibb.co/qNKtjbR
And here you can see that on our actual site, an image in the sidebar has a width of 960px instead of 300:
https://ibb.co/HhXQ1ms
Do you know where Newspaper stores the thumb images? Perhaps I can regenerate them somehow in case they are just missing?
Thank you for your time,
L.D
Hello,
Each thumb that you have enabled, will create a copy of that images. II recommended using the Flex blocks, instead of blocks 1-25; those are from the tagDiv standard pack and can’t be customized as a Flex Block; this plugin loads all the styles even if it is not used;
So, our theme make thumbs which are enabled in Theme Panel -> Block Settings => https://www.screencast.com/t/ZvDvpiBFKY3 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Also, WordPress creates thumbs => https://www.screencast.com/t/AMVBOZWto
Our suggestion is to take a look at what blocks you use and make sure that the thumbs are active only for that=> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Thank you!
Hi,
For flex block, you can change the image height and width https://i.imgur.com/PHUt5qC.png as you want.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please provide a video with your settings and steps, please make sure that you don’t have offset on the block -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/
Thank you!
Thanks for your response Anamaria! We’ve uploaded them at full size. I was under the impression that WP then resizes it into large, medium, thumbnail, etc. The element we’re using in our sidebar is the Flex Block 1, with the Article Image – Image Size set to Small.
i ve created a fresh install of theme with demo content
i need to have specific posts by id on this section only, so decided to use filter by id option
following the tutorial on filters
https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Post ID filter – Use the posts’ ID to filter your block by specific posts. You can get the post ID by accessing WP Admin > Posts section, hover the post title and check the link displayed on the browser left-bottom area. Use the URL to extract the IDs. To exclude posts from a block add a ‘-’ symbol in front of each ID.
in the input “Post ID filter:” i put the id of post ex: 143 but after that the block shown nothing
Hello,
Normally, the plugins should remain installed and active. Our plugins are not set up to deactivate themselves. Make a test and deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones. If you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it and see if the problem goes away.
There are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us; you could check some of them

Hi,
Normally, f you create a page, you can’t assign that page template to another page. You can save the elements/blocks https://i.imgur.com/BTdbQoM.png and use it for other pages, also, if you create a new template, depends on what type of template, posts/author/category. You can assign the template for a specific type.
Thank you!
My website is IJmondnieuws.nl
On the home page I use a Flex Block 1 element to show the first 10 posts.
I use Next Prev ajax buttons to continue to the next/prev posts.
It works fine on the desktop home page but wont work on the mobile home page.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks for your reply.
Hi,
So, do you use the mobile theme? For mobile theme you need to go in Theme Panel -> Mobile Theme -> Post Settings -> Post and Custom Post Type => https://i.imgur.com/z0Bcfl9.png to show the modified date and enable this for blocks https://i.imgur.com/SMSxap0.png
Thank you!
Hi,
To have the labels you need to find a plugin or use standard blocks and template for shop -> https://i.imgur.com/pgW5JoA.png
Thank you!
Hi,
normally, when you make changes in the theme files, they are saved in the child theme.
Also, the subtitle was not displayed on the Flex Block, you will have to make the changes again.
If you want to use the new flex blocks, then you can try to set the subtitle in a custom field.
Thank you!
Hello,
You need to edit with tagDiv Composer, select the block and in the tab Style you can do the changes -> https://i.imgur.com/b0gfzqx.png
You can copy and paste the style from one block to another
You can use the Global Colors option from Manager -> Global Colors -> https://i.imgur.com/PM6VoBL.png

Hi all-
I run a magazine site and have different article categories displayed on the homepage. I need a “load more” button to allow readers to go to more of the same category. I found the “load more” button settings in the style module of the flex block, but it is not displaying anything no matter what changes I make.
Please help!
Can you tell how I can change the font size of article titles shown in Flex Block 1?
Could that be a global setting somewhere in the template configuration?
Thanks, Jos
Hi,
how can I change the Style, and CSS of tagdiv widget elements?
For example: [tagDiv] Block 1
Thanks
სიახლეები Block on home page – there should be a post there, because in tag div blocks I have chosen სიახლეები category and latest posts, but nothing shows up. There are some other blocks and categories that do work and I don’t see any difference in settings but most of them does not work.
I cant get posts show up in blocks. I choose categories and caregories have posts in it but they dont show up in blocks.
Hi, I just updated to last Newspaper release and…all my personal modifications to block modules went missing!
The new flex blocks are really nice, but I cannot find the files to edit and add the subtitle code.
Anyone can help me? Many thanks
