Hi.
I am trying to setup a custom template for a specific category.
I’d like to have a posts loop block that lists the articles of this category and shows the content of the post in place of the excerpt, and need no “read more” button.
This category will contain very simple post content with an article image and only 2 or 3 text paragraphs.
I could write my 2 or 3 text paragraphs on the excerpt section, but displaying the excerpt on the loop removes the line feeds.
I really don’t know where to start from here…
Any help welcome.
Hello Sven!
Please send the credentials via email, not in this thread.
They are cropped automatically: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ ; that’s why you can disable the thumbs you are not using. Set up your thumbs from Newspaper -> Theme panel -> Block settings -> Thumbs on modules/blocks. If you deactivate a dimension from there, next time when you will upload an image, it will not be resized to that dimension.
After changing the thumbnail sizes you need to regenerate your thumbnails using a plugin. Check this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately, no tabs element has been added so far, but an extra plugin can be used as an alternative solution. For example you can try:
-> Ultimate Blocks
-> Responsive Tabs
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Is there a block for TABS, with image, text description, title and then button like the one below?

Hi,
Make sure you have the latest update of the theme(11.4.2) and plugins too, that all the requirements are done as you can see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
So, please make sure you don’t have a plugin conflict.
Also, please check the console when you try to save the changes made with tagDiv Composer 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 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.
Thank you!
Also, right now, I can’t get the sections in “Page Account” block to work, they just put items id to the URL and do nothing. I think it is because I am registered as non-subscriber? I don’t need different plans, I’ll just create a free plan. So, every registered user should automatically be a free subscribers. How can I do that?
Hi,
Please check – https://www.jantakareporter.com/?s=
Post images are overlapping and not resizing correctly. I was facing this issue with some of the modules on homepage as well while creating post blocks.
Website is on OLS server, with Tagdiv Standard Pack and Composer activated. I can’t activate Cloud templates because it makes my website slower.
Deactivating Standard Pack solves this issue but messes up with website layout
I am interested in this question. @Calin, the answer you have provided is instructive but I have one problem which is that I cannot see the tagDiv Composer as soon as I navigate away from the home page. The implication is that I cannot edit posts with tagDiv Composer. Secondly, Editors on my website are not presented with the tagDiv composer.
The solution you have provided seems not to be a one-off solution. By this I mean whether modifying the blockquotes affects any other future posts where it is used. Or one has to always modify the blockquotes for every new post? Thanks
Hi. So Im upgrading my theme from a four year old versjon to the current, and that causes a lot of big changes so its done on a separate site.
One of my problems is that the sidebar is acting “strange”. I have downloaded “Single poste template 14”. But when I see the posts the sidebar only has some code (pasted below), and no content. (I have also set up a ekstra sidebarwidget and told the page to use that, to no avail, and If I go to appearance-customize-widget and then to a single post i get this “Your theme has 3 widget areas, but this particular page doesn’t display them.”)
I suspect the issue is due to some old code done when the site was set up (not by me, I cant code) four years ago. But how do I fix this?
The code that is shown in sidebar:
[td_block_1 custom_title="Must Read" limit="4" f_header_font_transform="uppercase" ajax_pagination="next_prev" block_template_id="td_block_template_2" m4f_title_font_family="394" m4f_title_font_weight="700" m6f_title_font_family="394" m6f_title_font_weight="700" sort="" offset="4" m4f_title_font_size="eyJhbGwiOiIyMCIsImxhbmRzY2FwZSI6IjE4IiwicG9ydHJhaXQiOiIxNiJ9" m4f_title_font_line_height="1.3"]
Hello,
I would like to use the newsletter plugin with Mailerlite, but the code I am inserting is not working.
When I insert it to text block, it is showing, but I need to use the plugin because of template styling
See here:

Would you know why is the plugin now working?
Hi,
You should not set on the block in css the background color There should be let the option empty and the color should be set in the style tab -> https://i.imgur.com/Shqah9x.png -> https://i.imgur.com/WvjMNKC.png
Thank you!
Hi,
This can be done by excluding the category that it is used for the posts on the blog.
For this you’ll need to edit the homepage with tagDiv Composer and set for each block/grid to exclude that category -> https://i.imgur.com/kOyEBiq.png -> https://prnt.sc/0wYC9GJr09JS
I hope this will help you!
Hi,
If you are referring to have a fix background like in this demo https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_sport/ then it can be done by setting an image in the theme panel > background -> https://i.imgur.com/RkCV4dH.png
If the problem is due to the fact that there are too many links on the page, then maybe you should reduce the number of links. For example, on a block that displays 1 post, in addition to the link on the title, there may also be the link on the user and on the category. I would recommend that you no longer display the categories by posts, because you have already set them on blocks -> https://i.imgur.com/oEZGqp5.jpg in this way it would be 20 links less.
Thank you!
Hi,
I think that you are referring to this one https://i.imgur.com/D0jRpRj.png our theme does not has an option to display the subtitle on blocks, this can be done with some custom changes or a better approach is to use the custom label and set the same text like the one from the subtitle -> https://i.imgur.com/mDEjkDe.png the results will be -> https://i.imgur.com/pYBWKri.jpg (you can style the layout).
Thank you!
Hello,
A solution could be to use the unique article option, follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/
This option automatically removes duplicate posts from the page.
Also, another solution is to set the offset posts on the blocks => https://www.screencast.com/t/Tsiu65TSaRS -> https://www.screencast.com/t/YbkmVbsBrnk
Hope this helps you!
Thank you!
Hi, how can I delete the more stories popup on mobile. When I scroll down, it blocks a lot of text. I like it on desktop but not on mobile.
Also, how can I change the width of the box the text is in. Here is how it currently looks with your theme:

Here’s what i want it to look like:

Hello,
Sorry, I am not referring to the first screenshot you shared. I am referring to this
I am not referring to subtitles for blocks. I am simply referring to a subtitle that appears under the main news title.
You are not answering my questions fully. Is the tagDiv Composer post editor not available to a person working as an editor instead of an Administrator? For instance, I was able to add subtitle in TagDiv Composer editor but under the role of an Editor, I do not have access to the TagDiv Composer Editing environment. Question is how does an Editor add subtitle then? This is not about blocks, please. It is about a subtitle under a major news title. See the screenshot
it says “The text will appear under the title.” Thank you.

Hello.
We asked a few questions previously, two of which were not answered enough and were clear to us.
So we come back through this new post to redo our requests. So please answer us step by step.
In fact, we want:
1 – We want to create a block (like this one: https://imgur.com/a/eNc1ct5) that will place 4 or 5 videos side by side (on the same line). And when you click on one of these videos to play it, “the playback of this video opens in Pop-up without reloading the page”. And so, we can directly watch this video in Pop-up.
How to add a block of video (like this one: https://imgur.com/a/eNc1ct5) but automatically readable in Pop-up each time you click on one of them ???
2 – When you go to the RFI-France site for example (https://www.rfi.fr/fr/), you can see that there is an “audio” icon (framed at the top of this screenshot blue screen: https://imgur.com/a/lOtlpqj). And when you click on it, you automatically start playing the audio from Radio “RFI”.
So, how do you do something like this to display “on our home page”, a “Play” icon (behind which we will add our voice Podcast in audio) and when you click on this “Play” icon “, we automatically hear the audio playing without reloading the home page as can be seen on the second screenshot of the RFI-France site at the level of the part circled in green: https://imgur.com/a/hiHWBvD ???
3 – How to do this kind of automatic animation of the articles which appear for a few seconds and then disappear to give way to other articles at each change and also for a few seconds at the top of this screenshot on the part circled in orange: https://imgur.com/a/cpjqArF ???
4 – How to activate “AJAX Pagination” on the part circled in Yellow on the following Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/jBlH1ZM ???
Please reply to us.
We are really stuck.
Awaiting your reply.
Hello!
1. A workaround there could be this one: https://www.screencast.com/t/qJZARQex3
2. Unfortunately, you do not have the possibility to add new elements or create a slide with the block’s elements, sorry.
3. A shortcode can be inserted by using the element called “Column text” or “Text with title”. For example, in the step3 here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-cryptocurrency-price-ticker-widget/
Now, it’s possible to be a plugin conflict there if that plugin wasn’t tested with our theme, but you can make a test on a test page.
4. You can set a Featured Video there. Please check our guide from here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
The video image and button will appear in the flex block and when you click on it, then the video will appear in a modal.
5. You can set a featured audio for your posts as featured video.
Thank you!
Hello,
1. That message appears because you are using the amp and this is set to redirect the mobile users on amp, please disable this option -> https://i.imgur.com/ShXatoR.png
2. If you have hidden it on all devices then it won’t appear anywhere. Open the CSS section in the composer and enter this code in it – https://prnt.sc/pqi1z7 the row should then be visible so you can interact with it. Then you can remove the code, after you make it visible on at least one viewport
.td-pb-row.vc_row {
display:block!important;
}
The elements from the amp are using the mobile theme layout, so the option for those are in the theme panel > mobile theme -> https://i.imgur.com/4VmBIdy.png
The above message/error it is about the jetpack, the problem is coming from there. You need to check the settings from that plugin or disable it.
Thank you!
Hello.
We are using “Newspaper The Rimont Pro” Theme (https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_the_rimont_pro/) and we have FIVE very important big issues that we want you to help us solve urgently please. In fact we try to do like exactly how the news site of “New York Times” (https://www.nytimes.com/) and we want you to help us greatly to know:
1 – How to create a new Menu Bar located just above the Logo exactly like on the screenshot of the New York Times home page that we have “circled in RED” just above the Logo: https://imgur.com/a/yv7fFHK ???
2 – We want to do slides (i.e. parade or temporary animation of images) exactly like “New York Times” (https://www.nytimes.com/) does on the part “circled in YELLOW color” on the same screenshot of the home page of their information site: https://imgur.com/a/yv7fFHK.
How then, can we Slide (i.e. temporarily animate images) the featured images in the middle of the first block of our “Newspaper The Rimont Pro” theme “surrounded in color Orange” (in this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/08NM4qy) so that it looks like the one from “New York Times” (https://www.nytimes.com/) ???
3 – We use other WordPress Plugins that have Shortcodes, so how can we integrate these ShortCodes from other WordPress Plugins into “TagDiv Composer” Blocks on the Home Page of our “Newspaper The Rimont Pro” Theme so that this can display the functionality of third-party WordPress Plugins on our Theme Block???
4 – We plan to make a system of “Stories” (which you can see on the following screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/E4zshwA) to display in Pop-up (in JavaScript-Ajax) the reading Direct Image or Video without reloading the page.
So how do you configure images or videos to “automatically play them in Pop-up” when you click on them ???
5 – The last most important point is how to add audios (since we have our own radio channel), in Podcast in a Block of our Theme “Newspaper The Rimont Pro” ???
Please help us step by step.
We are blocked on the use of “Newspaper The Rimont Pro”.
So help answer these five points above.
Hi,
Yes, certain content is not allowed to be posted on the forum (as a precautionary measure).
These seem to be the queries that are blocks made. Maybe they can be optimized if the page is removed (https://i.imgur.com/7D8ucnt.png).
If you can do a staging or put your site on a subdomain we would like to connect to the site and see what we can do to improve these queries.
Let me know if you agree with this!
Thank you!
