Yes, i have an ad blocker. I turned that off on the site, but still can’t identify the ad area.
Hi,
In case that on your block is displaying the modified date instead of the publish date, then go to Newspaper > theme panel > block settings > Meta info on modules/blocks and disable the option “SHOW MODIFIED DATE”.
I hope this will help you!
Hi,
Do you have any ad blockers enabled on your computer because those https://i.imgur.com/RD0nEZF.png are ad box elements on your homepage, and the images from the ad box have been deleted from wordpress media.
Thank you!
1-2. The template code https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_doctors_pro/tdcpt_doctors/herman-rehema/ is in this pastebin Custom Post Type – Doctors, just make sure that you have the cloud templates. CPT/Taxonomies: a single template that you want to hold the code. If you do not have one, you can import one, and after that, edit it https://i.imgur.com/NlMnH9L.png and replace the code with teh one from the above link.
Here https://i.imgur.com/xIJKuIb.png you have set the limit to 6 “posts”, do you have those posts or you have only 2? If you have more than 2, then please check the sort set on the flex block is set on popular – https://i.imgur.com/PraO5Jq.png set it on latest to see if the rest of the articles appear.
This – https://i.imgur.com/Ukc4bYp.png is not a form input for a custom field. The post title https://i.imgur.com/Ukc4bYp.png will be given to the article, so there is no need for any custom field.
For the submit button, you should set the post type that your articles will be – https://i.imgur.com/K6WytUC.png if you want to use it for a contact form only to send and receive an email you can use a plugin like Contact Form 7, because the current system you try to use is made to create a CPT post type https://i.imgur.com/mAYVT6j.png https://i.imgur.com/j31xd5o.png
About this – https://screenrec.com/share/5Qzn0Zp23C and this https://screenrec.com/share/YMg8iRp3sX you understand right that will allow the user to create 5 articles in the 3 mentioned post types https://i.imgur.com/OTozbX7.png what you need to do is to have 3 separate pages with a form in them like this one https://i.imgur.com/tK2Wm8e.png, and the settings on the submit button should be to the right CPT that is for that page
Loops (https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-builder-flex-loop-builder/)- https://i.imgur.com/8DlCG9G.png are spafile blocks that automatically filter the results after the template is set, if they are set on a page, they will display the latest, and you can set on them the post type you want to display – https://i.imgur.com/8DlCG9G.png
Here https://i.imgur.com/CtQc9Ax.png you need to use the slag not the id https://i.imgur.com/FTcXcOf.png
Hi,
If you are using flex blocks https://i.imgur.com/49WaLVd.png, flex grids, then you can use the tagDiv Composer to edit the pages/template, select the block and look in the layout tab after the image settings https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately, when it comes to the Filter Everything Pro plugin, we can’t guarantee how it will work. This plugin has not been tested by us, so we can’t confirm whether it is fully compatible with the theme or if it functions as expected.
Regarding how to use Custom Post Types (CPTs) with our theme and how to apply filters using taxonomies, we have several guides that you may find helpful:
Filters and sorting for taxonomies
Introduction to CPT and ACF with Newspaper Theme
Modules Builder in Newspaper Theme
Flex Block Builder and Flex Loop Builder
Thank you.
Hi Aleksey,
I understand your point of view, but I believe the issue can be resolved in a simpler way. There is no need to import the custom fields from the old theme into the theme settings (Newspaper theme). Instead, it would be better to import them as standard custom fields (as those created with ACF plugin) and then display them using the theme’s custom field elements.
Additionally, you can create your own modules, which can display these custom fields directly inside the blocks.
Thank you.
It shows the modified time like this. How can I make it only show the time the post was shared? For example, https://imgur.com/a/YKm2hJt here it was shared at 13:14 and then edited at 14:29. It shows 13:14 in the article but the modified time on the homepage https://imgur.com/a/4LNZmoc. I am using block9 on the homepage. Its module is 8. Can I edit it in the module_8.php file?
Hi,
If you want to display the events in a flex block or maybe in your own modules made with the module builder, what you need to do is to set the CPT type – https://i.imgur.com/MaTZvGr.png – https://imgur.com/lBjd9DZ
Hi,
The excerpt displays the content from the beginning of posts if there is no excerpt set in the excerpt zone → https://i.imgur.com/BLvoT6p.jpg. Please check the excerpt.
If text is set in the excerpt zone, it will be displayed in full, and the excerpt length will no longer be applied.
Alternatively, you can use the option in the Layout tab to disable the excerpt on the Flex Block.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can disable the more stories block here in Theme Panel -> Post Settings -> More Article Box https://i.imgur.com/CR10pDV.png
Thank you!
Hi,
Yes, the Big Grid Flex 1 and the other blocks and grids can be used on pages and cloud templates and you can display any CPT type you want, posts, articles, events …. – https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ – https://i.imgur.com/MaTZvGr.png
Thank you!
It seems to be an issue with the “Posts Loop Block” with a class of “td-flex-home-cat” specifically.
Additional detail: I’m using a Flex Block Builder block to view the filtering results.
Hi Simion
You’ve hit the nail on the head – the block header style changes from style 8 https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-8/ to style 1 https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-1/ when you invoke the Footer Delayed Load feature.
I can get around the problem by not invoking the Footer Delayed Load feature and using the WP Rocket caching plugin. However, I suspect there are folks out there facing the same problem.

Nigel
Hi,
Please rest the settings for the flex loop builder on search template and see if after that the results appear (make sure that you select again the module for the flex loop builder).
Thank you!
Hi,
That means you are using the older standard header templates. In this case the module that displays the posts in the live search can only be customized using the global settings https://prnt.sc/LlosNc8Un4KE Please note that disabling the date there will affect all the blocks and modules, not just the live search. For more advanced customization please consider switching to cloud headers which you can fully customize with the composer https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
In case you just want the date removed from the live search, and you are not yet ready to switch to cloud headers, please enter this CSS -> https://pastebin.com/ryMaeFZD in the theme custom CSS section https://prnt.sc/wWJSRj_1ouC3 Then clear the cache to make sure the code applies. The date should be gone from the live search, like this https://prnt.sc/7r4GQQs1lO7L
Let us know if we can help with something else and we will check as soon as possible.
Thanks.
Hi,
I agree. Since the WP Rocket plugin already is lazyloading the footer https://prnt.sc/Iye8qEXx2LJr using the option from the theme on top of it could lead to issues.
That is however an unusual issue, because from what I see in your screenshots the block header style seems to be changing from style 8 https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-8/ to style 1 https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-1/ The styles are created with CSS, maybe if you use the option to remove unused CSS from the rocket plugin it may be removing more than it should. Or maybe it’s a combination of things that causes it. If I would have seen the issue, then the problem would be clearer after checking with the browser inspector.
Anyway, the footer seems to display alright now while looking at it as a regular visitor https://prnt.sc/EfCe7blO-bzu
Thanks.
Hi,
I believe that’s on your blog. The footer can be customized with the composer. If you edit for example the homepage with the composer https://prnt.sc/9ORTEOqJmztt and scroll down to the footer, you can click on anything and customize it https://prnt.sc/VdlRyG4eUfXu
The posts that Popular Posts displays depends on the filtering and sorting it uses. It may be set on popular sorting, which can display older posts as well if they are popular. Or it may be “stuck” if the options required for the theme to count post views are not active. I suggest changing the sorting to random 7 days, to have some variety of new posts in that block https://prnt.sc/g9fHJYkj22t5 as a quick solution.
Everything can be customized with the composer. The theme panel is very rarely needed to be used. It was used more many years ago when the theme used to use the simpler header and footer templates, or post templates, etc. But ever since we added the cloud library and the PRO demos, these are fully built with the composer -> https://tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
Please let us know if we can help with something else and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks.
flex loop builder does not find posts on the search page.
the post loop block finds.
and the second question is about categories. We have an acf field for categories. show_category is a boolean field.
is it possible to output only those categories that have true in this field?
and third, is it possible to create conditions with flex loop builder, for example, if a post has an acf field and we output something (again, there is just a boolean value in the field, and we just need to output text).
is it possible to insert custom shortcodes from flex loop builder, the ones that we created
Hi
I’m trying to add custom schema to my newspaper site. I tried to add JSON-LD script in custom html blocks – however this was not rendered at all. https://www.maverickparadox.co.uk
Then I noticed that there is no schema on the site at all, not even Yoast automatic schema is showing. Does the theme automatically strip out schema?
Please advise:
– does the newspaper theme allow schema?
– why doesn’t the custom html blocks not work for schema?
– do you recommend a particular plugin (I’m concerned I’ll buy one and it still won’t render)
What can be done to fix this? All sites must have schema to remain relevant these days.
Please advise as soon as possible.
Thank you
Take care
Jude
Hi,
To add a video to the forum, it needs to be hosted on a platform as you did now.
It appears that my colleagues didn’t upload all the cloud templates for doctors to the cloud 🙁 but, do not worry, I will provide each template you need.
Now the CPT template, the one under the Cloud Templates > CPT/Taxonomies – https://i.imgur.com/4XyThJL.png will be used only on CPTs, (doctors is a CPT in taht case), now, in provided screenrecord I see taht you try to edit an article, so for articles will be used the Cloud Templates for Single Post Template, those are under Cloud Templates > General – https://i.imgur.com/eABjPhi.png (you can edit it the same use tagDiv Composer, select the flex block x and remove the cpt “tdcpt_doctors” from filter taxbs after taht use the module tab to chnage the module layout).
To add a module to Flex Block X or Flex Loop, you need to edit the template or page with tagDiv Composer, select the element – https://i.imgur.com/GfWkUEM.png first in the general tab, and remove the CPT type “tdcpt_doctors” – https://i.imgur.com/zPaJKVa.png after that from the Module tab, change between Module 1 and Module 2 – https://i.imgur.com/YgyJY9Y.png – https://i.imgur.com/nSJJZVy.png
For the flex block, the CPT that needs to be removed is under the filter tag, after that do the same with the modules, change to module 2 and back to module 1. Use the one you like the most – https://i.imgur.com/IpWFX3l.png
Sorry I won’t post our devlinks publicly here…
However, we are talking about setting the locale for the PHP date functions, like in this SO discussion:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1328036/php-date-in-foreign-languages-e-g-mar-25-ao%C3%BB-09
It seems the locale is correctly set upon first load of any block that uses pagination. After using the pagination once, all the remaining renderings are reverted back to default locale in English.
Hi,
If you want to achieve the results from the image, then you can use the ajax category dropdown filter – https://i.imgur.com/ykKWrs6.png
