Hi,
There is no need to edit teh code, this will be lost when the theme is updated. Our theme has settings for everything you need. For a general type of date, you can even use wordpress settings – https://i.imgur.com/eSXiJ4L.png
Also, elements like the flex block builder are displaying built modules (made with tagDiv Composer) and can be edited with this – https://i.imgur.com/5QWDoQE.jpeg – https://i.imgur.com/vSewkTY.png – https://i.imgur.com/79byHhz.png
Thank you!
Yep that works for single post template, I managed to edit the date time format.
However it seems for posts (w/ title, description, categories, date, reading time) inside a Flex Block Builder that came with the default Forest Beat example, there’s no way to edit the “date element” inside the Flex Block Builder. Clicking on the date brings me to the “Flex Block Builder” instead of the date element.
So it’s still not working for me specifically for the posts on Forest Beat homepage. Still has its own date time format.
I had to dig into the source code (i.e. via Edit instead of tagDiv composer) to find out:
[tdb_flex_block_builder limit=”2″ tdc_css=”eyJhbGwiOnsibWFyZ2luLWJvdHRvbSI6IjAiLCJkaXNwbGF5IjoiIn19″ cloud_tpl_module_id=”23″ modules_on_row=”eyJhbGwiOiI1MCUiLCJwaG9uZSI6IjEwMCUifQ==” modules_gap=”eyJhbGwiOiI0MCIsInBvcnRyYWl0IjoiMzAifQ==” modules_vert_align=”stretch” all_modules_space=”eyJwaG9uZSI6IjMwIn0=” offset=”1″]
There’s no way to edit the date field inside tdb_flex_block_builder!
It seems like I’ve to dig into the TDB shortcodes to find out that there “M d, Y” is hidden inside there.
But interestingly, certain elements e.g. flex block builder, that contains posts inside it with dates, I cannot click into the date visually to edit the date format. Is it intended?
^ Clicking into the date, will not allow me to edit anything. Does this mean the post template is hidden elsewhere?
Hi, can you help me improve Render blocking request as most of them are coming from theme files only.

Hello tagDiv Team,
I am using your Newspaper theme on a **LiteSpeed Server** (Hostinger) with the official **LiteSpeed Cache** (LSC) plugin.
The problem is that my site (laikmetis.lt) is not being cached. The response header always shows x-litespeed-cache: miss, and the HTML comment at the bottom of the page says “Page generated”, not “Page cached”.
I have run tests and **100% confirmed this conflict is caused only by the Newspaper theme**:
* **Test 1 (Newspaper theme active):** The result is x-litespeed-cache: miss.
* **Test 2 (Default Twenty Twenty-Four theme active):** The result is x-litespeed-cache: hit. (The page caches perfectly).
I have already tried every possible solution from the LSC plugin side, but your theme overrides all settings. I have already:
1. Confirmed that LiteSpeed Cache -> [4] Excludes settings are all empty.
2. Confirmed that LiteSpeed Cache -> [4] Do Not Cache Cookies is empty.
3. **Most importantly:** Added / (the front page) to LiteSpeed Cache -> [1] Force Cache URIs. Even with this “force” setting, your theme **still blocks** the page from being cached.
**Important Clarification:**
Please **do not** suggest that I use WP Super Cache or WP Rocket. This is **not a solution**, as I am on a **LiteSpeed Server**. Using any plugin other than LiteSpeed Cache means a massive performance loss. The goal is to make your theme compatible with my server, not to abandon my server’s advantages.
**My Request:**
These tests prove that the Newspaper theme (or TagDiv Composer) is actively sending a no-cache header or using a PHP constant (like DONOTCACHEPAGE).
Please provide a specific solution (a code snippet for functions.php or a hidden setting) so I can **disable** your theme’s no-cache signal. This is necessary to allow the LiteSpeed Cache plugin to finally function correctly.
Hello,
The theme has a lazy load option, but this is only for blocks, as this option makes images load only if they appear within the screen (so not all images on the page are loaded if the user has not scrolled down to them). Problems often encountered are when this lazy load option is used by too many plugins and themes, it should only be used by a single plugin or theme. It is recommended from the plugin if there is an image optimization plugin and the one from the theme. For example, we recommend EWWW Image Optimizer https://wordpress.org/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/
I hope this will help you!
Hello support team,
I recently purchased the Newspaper theme and am using the “DEFAULT PRO” template because I was very impressed with its professional designs. I thought it would allow me to easily create a beautiful blog.
However, I discovered that most of the theme’s blocks (Flex Blocks, Big Grids, etc.) cannot be lazy-loaded, maybe because they use CSS background-image to display images ? I use lscache lazy load function and already tried others plugins.
This forces every single image in these blocks to load even if they are far below the fold. The lazy load option in the theme panel doesn’t improve performance metrics; it seems to be just a visual loading effect. Is that correct?
To keep a good performance score of 95+ on PageSpeed Insights, my only workaround has been to hide all images in these blocks on all single posts. While this fixes the speed issue, it completely defeats the purpose of buying a visually rich theme like Newspaper.
I already use others speed optimization like cache, css/javascript loading optimisation,etc. the only problem I can see is these theme’s blocks images on sidebar and footer not lazy-loaded.
My question is:
Is there a built-in setting or a recommended method to solve this? Or is this something that might be addressed in a future update?
This seems like a critical feature for any modern theme focused on performance.

Thank you for your help and guidance.
Hello,
I’m using Newspaper Theme and I’ve created a custom taxonomy called “Especial” to group special content (like Halloween or Christmas).
I’d like to assign an image to each taxonomy (for example, a representative image for “Halloween”, “Christmas”, etc.) and display it in the taxonomy block (e.g. tdb_category_list or similar).
I’m using Toolset to manage the custom taxonomies, but Newspaper doesn’t seem to recognize any image field by default.
My questions are:
Does Newspaper have a built-in field or recommended method to assign an image to a taxonomy term?
If not, what’s the best way to register and display it (via custom field, ACF, or Toolset)?
Which field slug or meta key should I use so the theme recognizes it automatically in the block?
I added my custom post type “oyun,” which I created with ACF, to the filter of a post block everything works great up to that point. However, when I do this, the default WordPress post type “Posts” disappears. How can I display both the default post type and my custom post type together in a single block?
Hi RENATO,
The element shortcode from the single post template is a special one, which is why it is displaying only on the single post template, so if there are shortcodes that should trigger the article IDs, they will work correctly. BUG the shortcodes can be set in our theme on any page and cloud templates using the column text and text with title elements, you just need to set the shortcode in one of those elements and it will render the shortcode – https://imgur.com/DSSni9j
For the image situation, I will recommend setting a class on the row that is holding the image elements, doing this you can replace teh dynamic class tdi_98/7 – https://i.imgur.com/ngnSDSS.png
To hide an element using tagDiv Composer, select it and check the css tab, then on display, set the hidden option – https://i.imgur.com/CKrwQ2z.png use teh manage to see the hidden elements – https://i.imgur.com/IQ9JRUz.png
Related to the date from Google search results https://yoast.com/help/date-appears-search-results/
About the pagespeed, the best results are using the WP Rocket plugin, but this is a premium plugin and most of users prefer something free, here, it can be use the WP Super Cache, but with the Autoptimize plugin, othetrcache plugins that can be used with good results: WP Optimizer or LiteSpeed.
Also, using Cloudflare will help you a lot!
The live search element can be “translated” using tagDiv Composer select the element and look for the text set in composer https://i.imgur.com/0MuagAg.png
Related to the image requests for reducing the module image size, this is in the theme on flex blocks – https://i.imgur.com/PKmODaB.png https://i.imgur.com/tszBQkz.png and on single image element – https://i.imgur.com/jlzRLWu.png
The shortcode support in the theme is since teh theme was on Themeforest. As I mentioned above, the shortcodes should be set in column text or text with title.
Thank you!
Hi,
It appears that the demo you are using has 2 blocks for categories, so the first one will display the latest 4 articles from the category, after that will be displayed in the next block will display 4 articles with a 4 offset (to skip the 4 articles that are already displaying above) https://i.imgur.com/zCB0ZRu.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/PIZ5SF2.jpeg
Thank you!
Hi lastwordonsports, in this situation, make sure that you have a full backup for your website and contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access and as many details as you can about this problem. We’ll check it as soon as possible.
Hi alexandersantosprado, related to teh category problem, edit teh category template and select the blocks in tagDiv Composer, check if there are any offsets set if there are remove it – https://i.imgur.com/uj8Jqxq.png
For the index problem, I will need some more details.
hello, @Calin So about the previous issues, I can’t get shortcodes to work at all, because in TagDiv Composer! It doesn’t show up on the page, it only appears in posts. I spoke with the owner of the search plugin, and he said he tried to contact you guys from the theme to get support for his plugin and didn’t get a response. The guy from the search theme said this about your theme, https://imgur.com/a/HcEGq1O
I had to create a search field, I couldn’t add it to the header, but I managed to add it to the home page. I’m having some problems.
The block images, I can’t reduce the image size no matter what I do, I have to set up CSS for all of them, it’s a lot of work, and when I delete some tdi_ element it changes the number and messes everything up. Well, tdi_98, I can’t get the image to be 90px by 90px. I used this CSS when it was tdi_97 and it was working perfectly. Then I had to delete some elements, it changed to tdi_98 and it stopped working. I adapted everything correctly, only the images aren’t staying 90px by 90px, they’re huge. Look there, the CSS is correct. https://ibb.co/TMNTDZvB desktop mode only, because for mobile I had created a separate page. https://glostv.com/tv-ufg
Could you provide CSS to fix the large image issue? To make it 90px by 90px.
About this related thing, https://ibb.co/qLBYQZPX, I can’t set it to a primary category, like there’s this option, https://ibb.co/1GJkWGGs, to make it primary up there, https://ibb.co/VpJb4rCj. Is this possible via CSS?
About this, is there also a way to hide the title without needing CSS?
Is there somewhere in the theme that disables the date that keeps showing up?
Google searches, https://ibb.co/hFZNCXJf I already deleted everything in WordPress, did everything, hid it in WordPress, https://ibb.co/wFRmCNrh
Is there any way to make the site faster with this theme? You guys in the theme recommended Super Cache, which is horrible depending on the configuration, it modifies the CSS and everything. I measured my site on https://pagespeed.web.dev/ and it’s terrible, seems like the theme is too heavy. Is there a way to improve this? Because when I update something it takes too long to update the page; I’m not logged in.
Lastly, how do you translate https://ibb.co/LXG4WdqF I tried to find it and couldn’t. If you can help me with these problems.
Ask the theme owner to add in the next update the ability to reduce the image size of the tdi_ modules so we don’t need to keep using CSS code. Ask them to add shortcode support in TagDiv Composer! on pages, because it only appears in posts.
Hi,
In case you want to remove the comment box from your blocks you can use the theme panel settings – https://i.imgur.com/JTKWtMn.png
Thank you!
Hello,
We’re having a small issue using your Newspaper WordPress theme. When we try to add a custom shortcode to the website header (inside a RAW HTML block), it doesn’t work. However, if we place the same shortcode inside a RAW HTML block within the content of any page, it is interpreted correctly. Could you please let us know what might be causing this issue?
Thank you very much.
Hello guys,
there is a way to add a Navigation (like arrow or dots) to the Grid Module 2 of this block?
On mobile without navigation it’s not clear that this block can be scrolled.
Tnx so much for help 🙂
Hi Giorgos, the module builder provides the possibility to display not only a category, you but also multiple categories, taxonomies, tags, and things that can not be done using other blocks from the theme – https://i.imgur.com/WtpQpu6.png https://i.imgur.com/6v0O27y.png
Changing the flex block mode of displaying teh image will break the block functionality, our developers already tried this. But the task is still open, so I think they are still searching for a solution.
Hi,
For the Travel demo you can use tagDiv Composer to edit it https://i.imgur.com/Q4NgVrq.png – https://i.imgur.com/OWsM3ML.png now if it is coming to other elements like categories, popular posts, those that are displaying in blocks, unfortunately, those do not have the option for Nofollow on links, sorry!
Thank you!
@Calin Sorry, I put Portuguese, correcting it, it’s English. I’m having 6 problems with https://glostv.com/. Can you help me solve them? I need to resolve this; I intend to buy another theme from you at the end of the month, but I need to fix this. First, the footer on mobile devices doesn’t show “About us, contact”. Quick links and useful links are not in the middle, but at the bottom. Below GosTV, the slogan, and “Watch TV channels” don’t appear on the same line. See link https://ibb.co/Cs5sZzFr
Second, the homepage and no static page (page, not post) allows/offers the option to add a shortcode for a search field. This option doesn’t exist for pages in TagDiv Composer! I bought a search plugin and I can’t use it. I search and nothing appears. See here: https://ibb.co/YT33pMyJ. However, in blog posts, the shortcode field appears normally. There’s a defect. In the normal post it appears, look here, https://ibb.co/QvwxFmwj. The “defect is only on the pages, the TagDiv Composer! doesn’t show the block/option to add the shortcode.” It’s not possible to edit the normal editor, as it has to be the TagDiv Composer editor!
Third, as I mentioned, I can’t put any shortcode on pages/posts (reaffirming item 2), but I can’t change this horrible search field in the header. I’ve already broken the site several times trying to solve this here https://ibb.co/M5M35FyV. I tried in TagDiv Composer! and via code, I can’t. I have the Ajax Search Pro plugin, which uses shortcode to add a search button and it doesn’t work. Here, https://ibb.co/M5M35FyV, I would need to use this, https://ibb.co/KjsV4FD2.
Fourth. On mobile devices, I really need these blocks to appear in the following sequence on this page and all pages created with TagDiv Composer!: Related Channels and Featured Channels. I created a CSS and it didn’t work:
CSS
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.tdi_99 {
order: 1 !important;
}
.tdi_82 {
order: 2 !important;
}
This is only for mobile devices, but I don’t want to have to create a separate mobile page for them. It would have to look like this: https://ibb.co/TDymN4NR, one below the other, and the rest would continue. I didn’t want to create a mobile page for all of them. Link: https://glostv.com/tv-sete-lagoas
Fifth, I really need to reduce the height and width of the contact form. It’s too large. Is this possible with custom CSS? If possible, please help. https://glostv.com/contato
Sixth, Please send me custom CSS for mobile devices to remove the spacing from this here https://ibb.co/99z0MQZ6 on this page: https://glostv.com/estados.
Hi Giorgos,
If you install the tagDiv Standard Pack plugin, you’ll be able to use the simple blocks and Big Grids. These elements use images as img tags, and the fetchpriority=”high” attribute will be automatically applied. However, please note that this option provides only limited customization settings and may load many additional resources on your website.
The alternative option takes a bit more time to set up, as it requires creating custom modules. However, it gives you full flexibility to design the theme as you prefer. It also loads fewer resources and consumes less bandwidth than the tagDiv Standard Pack, while still automatically adding the fetchpriority=”high” attribute to images.
Thank you!
So, long story short. And when I say long…
Anyway, turns out. Host was able to fix the problem. Although everything pointed to it being Newspaper issue. An amazing support rep at Rocket figured it out.
Posting here in case anyone ever has a similar issue, so a potential solution may be documented
They I added this on htaccess
Header always set Content-Security-Policy “frame-ancestors ‘self’;”
And that seemed to fix it
The CSP rule was just too strict after the restore. It blocked the page from loading inside the TagDiv Composer’s iframe.
Once the rule was adjusted to allow framing from your own domain, everything clicked back into place.
The server itself was working fine; it was just the browser being told “don’t show this page inside another page.”
I have also set the api key for the socials that you want and have to display in the social counter https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Still I get the same error
Uncaught Error: number_format(): Argument #1 ($num) must be of type int|float, string given
in /home/greenwx6/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-social-counter/shortcode/td_block_social_counter.php on line 1176
and aslo:
Error at zones: 6(models) : 5(dom). The model does not match the content Current state has involved an issue. You could try an UNDO operation (CTRL+Z / CTRL+SHIFT+Z)
Undo did not work.
Thanks
Hi tagDiv Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I’m currently working with the Newspaper theme on the site redesign, stage with newspaper and live with my old theme.
My situation:
I’ve completed a complete site redesign on my staging environment using Newspaper theme’s template system. Now I need to push these templates to my live/production site without migrating all the posts/data (as the production site already has all the content).
What I need to transfer:
Custom templates (single post, category, homepage, etc.)
tagDiv Composer blocks and layouts
Theme settings and customizations
Any template configurations
What I want to keep on production:
All existing posts and content
Database data
Media files
My question:
What is the best way to export/import only the Newspaper theme templates and settings from staging to production? I want to avoid a full database migration since both sites have the same content, and I only need to update the design/templates.
Are there any built-in Newspaper theme tools or recommended methods for this specific scenario?
Thank you for your assistance!
Hello Calin, OK I get it. But the main image we want to set fetchpriority=”high” is every time the image of the article we set as main.
I can make the module but is there a block or any other element I can use to display each time the main article with the image in HTML tag? Or do I have to use the code element to do that? I mean make the code with php/html and insert it in the module.
Thanks
Giorgos
Hi Giorgos,
The thing is that the fetchpriority=”high” is used only on images set with the html tag img and the flex block have set the image using css as background therefore there is no way to set the fetchpriority=”high” on it, but the module made with module builder will display teh image in html tag so it will automatically attach the fetchpriority=”high”.
Thank you!
