Hello,
Please edit the search template, select the block and remove the offset -> https://i.imgur.com/dJ0iFQu.png let that field empty.

Thank you!
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,
You can use flex block instead of posts loop. Explore the filters here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Choose only one category from the filter settings and it will display the posts which have that category.
Also, to have a button please select header template 12 -> https://i.imgur.com/wIE3ghc.png
Thank you!
Hi-
I run a magazine site and need to be able to display individual categories in blocks and sections on the homepage with the ability for the reader to have the “read more” or the arrow button to either scroll through more from that section or direct them to the category page itself.
Does anyone know how to do that? I tried a post loop but it doesn’t allow me to choose the category in the block and also styles are limited.
Thanks!
Hi there
Sorry for the delay.
We have conducted further investigation and wanted to share some additional insights with you:
Specifically, during the rendering process of the images, there appears to be a lack of reserved space for the images within the Flex Block. As a result, the post is generated before the image finishes rendering, and this leads to the default thumbnail image not being displayed because of the missing fixed image-container size
We have tried adjusting various settings within the TagDiv Composer and explored the theme’s options, but we have not found a solution to mitigate this problem. Image width and hight can only be set in percentage.
Let me know if you still need Admin access to investigate this.
We believe that it is more a general issue with the time between importing posts, generating thumbnails and offloading images to a CDN and the missing reserved fixed width and height space for the images.
Perhaps there is even a CSS code we might be able to add, however we do not know the newspaper specific thumb name of the entry thumb in a Flex Block.
Here is what we experimented with
.entry-thumb { height: 300px;
/* adjust as needed */
width: 100%;
background-size: cover;
background-position: center; }
I look forward to hearing back from you
Regards
Sven
Hello Newspaper Theme Support folks,
I have a question about the Comments element that I hope you can help with.
We have the Comments element block in the Single Template.
The issue is : while we have set Posts “not allowed” on New Posts, there are certain Posts we want to allow them(very few). So, when we add those Posts, we check to box to “Allow Comments”) but still nothing shows in those Posts.
So, no Comment box shows by default on the Pages, which is ok since we have not allowed Comments on New Posts. But, on Pages where we want Comments allowed the box still does not show.
So, we tried adding a “test” comment in the Admin for the Post…..and the Comment box shows up on the Post but says “Comments Closed”.
Is there a way to turn Comments off by default but only “open” for certain Posts … ???
Hope that makes sense… and hope you can help,
Tim Roman
If I want to create the page using Gutenberg blocks can I disable the Page Title?
Suddenly this text appeared in the home page of https://migueldimase.com/ instead of rendering it:

Hi,
Normally these plugins in the theme do not block access to the website to log in, did you do a test with only tagdiv plugins?
You can delete the tagDiv Newsletter plugin via FTP.
Thank you!
Hello,
No, if you have selected the parent category or other subcategory then only posts from that category will be displayed.
A workaround for want you to need is to use the Multiple terms filter and set there the ids of your categories -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ “– This option allows you to filter the posts by multiple categories. The procedure is similar to the one used on Post ID filter. Add the category IDs separated by commas (ex: 13,23,18). If you want to exclude categories, add a ‘-’ symbol in front of each ID. If you want to display posts from a category and remove the posts included in one of its sub-categories, first add the parent category ID (ex. Fashion category – 341) and after it places the sub-category ID (ex. Daily subcategory id: 342) with a ‘-’ symbol in front. If you decide to use the ‘multiple taxonomies filter,’ the standard Category Filter is ignored.”
Thank you!
Hello,
We recommend Super cache -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
We have many users who also use wp rocket -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/ -> https://www.andraware.com/wp-rocket-for-newspaper-theme/
If you use Wp Rocket, you can try to exclude the following files
/jquery-?[0-9.](.*)(.min|.slim|.slim.min)?.js
/jquery-migrate(.min)?.js
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js

The homepages last articles options disappear, when I try to create a page but I want to change the template, the templates + articles options disappear, this happens with the wordpress block editor which I use on my website.
Hi, using the downtown homepage, there is a button that wont click and reloads the homepage regardless of the settings added to it. all other buttons follow the rules and hover rules except for this one. I reinstalled this homepage block from the cloud but this button still creates the same issue. can i share my details by email so someone can have a look at this issue?
Hello,
I have two questions/issues regarding BlockChain PRO demo homepage images.
1. New images smaller than the originals
When I try to replace the existing image (the ipad one) within the hero section, new image (same dimensions as the original: 575×900 px) is resized/shrinked and positioned below the hero section.
If I try to increase its width and height inside the Composer, then it appears in the hero section, but it’s blurred, pixelated, and the top is cut off.
Even if I just remove the original, without replacing it, that smaller one, svg in the circle, is also placed below the hero section.
I have similar problem with all the other png images on the homepage – they appear smaller than the originals and I cannot figure out the way to englarge them without loosing quality.
Therefore, my question is: how can I properly replace original images with the new ones?
2. “Circular mobile svgs” arrangement in the same manner as the desktop ones
I have another question, but not sure should I open a new topic or just post it here. It is concerning the section with six svg images around the circular one (png) – the only animated section on the homepage.
These svg images don’t show in the same order in the mobile version as in all the other ones.
What is the easiest way to arrange them in the same fashion as they appear on other devices?
I’ve tried manually, but that is a tricky one…
If that’s easier for you, I can just send you my login info via email.
Thank you very much in advance!
M.
I can’t put the code inside this box because the server say
Security check:
Our system detected some kind of strange traffic from your ip. This error was logged and if our system is broken we will fix it asap.
But I only comment the tag that dispay the numer of comments. Because I can’t do that from the configuration area or maybe i don’t know how to do it in the right way.
Hello,
I recommend using cloud templates and flex blocks and big grid flex blocks.
Also, I recommend using the cache option on the blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/

Hi,
I’ve using this theme for about five years. No other news theme comes close to offering what you guys do and that too with great efficiency. I’ll be forever grateful.
From time to time, I like to make feature suggestions and recommendations. I’ve noted a few of them in my diary over the last couple weeks that I’d like to share.
Display all posts in a single line using flex block: Flex blocks offer great flexibility. So naturally it becomes first choice to display posts. It would be amazing to have a flex block that could display posts using slider. Something like choosing to display 12 posts in a single line, with only 3-4 displayed in the viewport; in mobile devices, just one. With the rest of them being accesible using slider. If you’re wondering, I am, indeed, familiar with the next/prev pagination but they’re not very intuitive and user-freindly for mobile devices because it stacks the articles over one another so if there are 4 articles visible on desktop, on mobile they stack up. So if a user has click on next, they would have to scroll down a bit to see the first article at the top. I am talking about something like the bottom row of Big Grid Flex 9, but with flex block’s customizability.
Menu specific module for popups: The introduction of popup to the theme has solved a lot of problems and has provided new oppurtunities. Having a stand-alone modal module for desktop/mobile hamburger menu will be greatly appreciated. For example, instead of button trigger, you can give a menu icon as trigger(without ability to change) that turns into(animated) a cross/close button when clicked, and can itself close the popup without requiring another close button on the popup, an option to set top offset relative to menu as in search feature so that it doesn’t cover the logo, etc.
Menu description: An option to add description to menu items(independent of category/tag descriptions) that would appear below menu and sub-menu items in various menu shortcodes like, header menu, mobile menu, list menu (extended shortcode), etc.
Limiting excerpts/title length using lines rather than words/character: Commonly, we use word or character limits to determine the length of excerpts/titles which often results in uneven display of modules because some excerpts/titles take up more space than others due to variation in word length or character width. So, number of lines limit can help achieve uniformity in the way modules look because all the excerpts/titles would take up the same amount of space, i.e. two lines, three lines, etc. I am not sure if it’s achievable, just suggesting.
You can ask for more details if need be.
Please bear in mind that these are mere recommendations — not demands.
Good day.
Hi there,
I am using the Post Content element on the page. I have uploaded the images in the post and published it. After that if I check in the post there is spacing on the right side.
I have put the RAW and divided in two parts. In one part there is a Title and On another one (in the right side) I have added this post content element. As you can see in the screenshot, there is a remaining space on the right side. But it is not using that space. I tried to change the settings, but none of them are not working.
It uses the large width of the Vimeo video I have attached in the post. But it is not working with the images uploaded in the post. I am using the WordPress Block editor.
Can someone from Tagdiv please help me solve this issue?
If you want to check on the live website you can use the following link;

Hello @jansuo!
Edit the page with the tagdiv Composer, click on the block and there you will have a setting for this: https://prnt.sc/gP_2RXiIhL7o
Thank you!
Hi again,
How to I hide category from Flex Block 5?
Hello @ezioboy !
1. You can stretch the row and content. Or if you need to add a block, then you can add a new roe or add it in the first or second row.
2. This is the column where you can select an element and add it to the page: https://prnt.sc/kkS4PhVoBUzP ; also if you click on the element, in the left side you will see its name and the settings of selected element.
3. Every element/row/column has the CSS tab where you can add a background color/image: https://prnt.sc/bN2lU6LvN6Jw
4. Can you please provide more information about what you need to achieve? Please provide the link of this page too.
5. Add that background image to the row. Please make sure that the element is in its row.
Thank you!
