Hi Ari,
1. You need to use tagDiv Composer edit the homepage and select the logo from header, then select the svg tab and remove the code from there – https://i.imgur.com/zkR1mV6.png this operation is need to be done on all header logos you are using (header, footer, sticky header, mobile header) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-logo-newspaper/
2. From blocks it can be removed globally using the theme panel settings from Theme panel > blocks settings > meta info on modules/blocks – https://i.imgur.com/daSq2MT.png and for removing it from articles use tagdiv Composer to edit the single post template, and use the right click on element you want to delete – https://i.imgur.com/rl6q5O2.png – https://i.imgur.com/GTJmGPV.png
3. Unfortunately the element for the location is not working like that to display for each user the location where he/she is accessing the website, sorry!
Thank you!
Hi,
You can use the tagDiv Composer, edit the homepage and select the blocks, use the filter and sort to filterer the articles you want in each block and how those to be short. For more details you can use this documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hi,
If you have a shortcode and you want to make it to look the same as our blocks, then you’ll need a developer and designer. But what do you want to display? Our blocks can display articles, pages, CPTS, so maybe it is no need to use a custom shortcode.
If the problem appeared after the shortcode has been set on the page, the the problem is related to it and it can be resolved only by removing that shortcode, usually this can be done using a page revision https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/complete-guide-to-wordpress-post-revisions/
You can save elements in tagDiv Composer by using the right clock on them and save as element – https://i.imgur.com/pTRr9Hm.png
Thank you!
Hi,
I checked the site a little and it doesn’t seem to be using excessive blocks or many ajax options that make a lot of requests to the database, I think that’s why the few results from the Query Monitor plugin are there, but if the WP Media Folder plugin indicates that many queries, you need to see if these are all the site queries made by the plugin or just from this page, if it’s from the site, then it’s ok, but if they are from the page, then something is wrong. If you want, we can investigate further, for this you will need to have a complete backup of the site and the database and only then contact us by email at contact@tagdiv.com where you provide us with wp-admin access to the site and include the link to this topic so we can identify you faster.
Thank you!
Hi Koder,
What you can try if the 2 blocks have the same categories to display is to use the offset option and set for example offset 3 on the firs block so the second one should display the first 3 articles and the firs one should skip them.
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hello,
On the main page of the site, I set the Unique Articles option in the settings, the entries on the main page are not duplicated, but I don’t like the order of the blocks in which duplicate entries are automatically removed.
I have a “Latest News” block and a block with three entries in the center. They sometimes have identical entries through similar filters, and because of this, the last entry is displayed in the “Latest News” block, and the duplicate is automatically removed in the central block and the entries are no longer the latest. Is it possible to make the central block display the latest entries first, and only after it are the duplicates removed in the “Latest News” block? In other words, is it possible to configure the order of automatic checking of blocks for duplicates on the page?
I need to create a section on my homepage that looks exactly like the “DON’T MISS” section in this picture, but I want to insert my own shortcode inside it.
How can I create a section that matches the site’s style but contains my custom code?
All the preformatted “Big Flex” or “Flex Block” sections already have fixed content and I can’t modify them.

Hi Atithya,
It seems the issue is related to the license key being used on multiple websites, rather than being limited to a single site as specified by ThemeForest’s licensing terms. Unfortunately, this can lead to misuse, where some users activate the license on several domains, which impacts its proper functionality.
As previously mentioned, a license key should not be used on more than two active domains. In the screenshot you shared, it appears the key has been used on four different domains. If all of these are live and using the theme, the license may become temporarily blocked. During this period, the license cannot be unassigned from any domain until the block is lifted.
Thank you for your understanding!
Thank you so much Calin. This is realy helpfull in tagling this issue, although I don’t think Newspaper is the real culpritt here, but it is an assembly of plugin data combined with theme data that makes the database grow so large. That said, some plugins you just can’t do without as a newssite, such as SEO and auto posting to social media.
Maybe I could consider a renewed site with a fresh look and less blocks. I already disabled Adsense, because it gave lots of layout shifts and was a bit overwhelming for readers. This way I can focus on the news and my readers too.
Thanks again for your insights Calin and pointing me in the right direction (again I must say).
Hi,
For this you can use the steps indicate by us in this guide – Thumbnails – Fix strange looking images on blocks
Thank you!
Hi,
Ok, it appears that the website is blocked for a part of countries, so I us a VPN to check it out.
Now, I see that on homepage you have a different header, so I believe that maybe one of the theme plugins is no longer installed? Please go to Newspaper plugins and make sure that you have installed and activate the tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Cloud Library and tagDiv Standard Pack (I believe that you do not have the standard pack that brings the old templates).
Thank you!
Hi Lamiaa,
1. Yes, using tagDiv Composer, you can select the block and check in Layout in section for exclusive label, from there you can on/off the option or change the text – https://i.imgur.com/g0rdbcE.png
Thank you!
Hi there,
We use the Grid slide block on our homepage at https://www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/ and the thumbnails are not showing correctly. Can please let me know how I can fix this?
thank you,

Hello,
There are a few theme settings that can increase database and resources consumption.
The largest data table the theme keeps in the database is the theme panel and the backups for it. From what I remember these are called td_010 and td_010_settings. What you could do is to adjust the number of backups, by default there are 5 of them. You could set it to 1 backup here -> https://prnt.sc/qZBjZo2p3bVu Other than this, it will require manually cleaning the rest of the autoloaded options.
Check if you are using ajax pagination, mega menu many blocks (the theme is making a query for each block in part and if you are using mega menu each element as mega menu makes queries, also ajax pagination make quires to database), also make sure that you use lazyload for images.
Also, check if you have enabled the post view count per articles, this is using ajax and request extra resources, also all filters base post view count consume extra resources (all popular filters).
In addition, it’s a good idea to identify what’s consuming your server resources. Tools like Query Monitor and Code Profiler can help you pinpoint high CPU or resource usage caused by plugins, themes, or database queries.
What I will recommend is to create a full backup for your website, in special for database and after that to try to clear the database; for this you can try this guide – https://hostadvice.com/how-to/website-builders/wordpress/how-to-optimize-wordpress-database-using-wp-sweep/
I hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi there at tagdiv,
I am running into some issues of witch I can’t optain if it is theme related or not, but maybe you can help or give a hint.
My newssite is running for over 8 years now with Newspaper and all postst are kept. My wp-postmetatable is very large (about 2,6GB) witch seems to give a lot of issues with stability of the database.
I recently moved from an unmaneged VPS (16 vCpu cores and 60GB RAM) to a shared hosting option with 24vCpu cores and 16GB RAM. I took over the site end 2024 and the previous owner helped with support on the VPS. Because of less time available and not being able to update Plesk to latest version, he stopped with suporting me on the VPS.
For years we used WP Rocket as caching plug-in witch almost never gave issues. Before the move a continues amount of databaseconnection errors was arising. The VPS had to be rebooted every few days because the mariadb service was killed.
Using a cache plugin (any cache plugin) gives Fatal database conetion errors or ‘Post can not be updated’. Tried Varnish cache without any other caching but that did not renew/cleared when I posted a new post. Also tried Redis Object Cache, witch worked at first, but then posting an post kept hanging and Redis didn’t clear anymore.
Because everytime I had to remove caching plugins via FTP to restore my site, I took a closer look at my database.
As far as I know I am only using cloud templates and flex blocks. But the fact that my postmetatable is 2.6GB big concerns me. Maybe you can help me out explaining if td-composer creates a lot of extra row in that table. At current time there are 1071550 totall rows in the postmeta table. I see a lot of the following rows
_vc_post_setting
_edit_lock
_edit_last
slide_template
post_views_count
and this repeats itself many times, but there are also references to other plugins like RankMath, WP Media Folder and FS Poster. It is tricky to get a clear picture of what is eating space unnessessary.
A hint of help would be much appriciated!
Hello tagDiv Team,
I’m using the Newspaper theme version 12.7.1 and am currently designing my site’s homepage with tagDiv Composer. In one of the main blocks on the homepage, I’m using Flex Block 1 to display recent catalogs in a grid format.
In the block settings, I have selected the option:
“Show additional text before the date.”
However, no field is displayed for entering custom text (for example, “Updated:”), and currently the date appears alone.
My intention is for the word “Updated:” to appear before the date in all Flex Block 1 modules automatically, without having to manually edit each post.
Is there a way to enable this text from the translation or global theme settings, without using a child theme?
Or should I modify a specific file to make this option work properly?
I would greatly appreciate your guidance. I’ve attached screenshots with the exact block configuration.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Jhonny

Hello,
To reduce the queries you can check the fallow.
Check if you are using ajax pagination, mega menu many blocks (the theme is making a query for each block in part and if you are using mega menu each element as mega menu makes queries, also ajax pagination make quires to database), also make sure that you use lazyload for images.
Other type of settings that can reduce the numbers of queries: use a good cache plugin, use object cache (redis), and use flex block cache – https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/
In addition, it’s a good idea to identify what’s consuming your server resources. Tools like Query Monitor and Code Profiler can help you pinpoint high CPU or resource usage caused by plugins, themes, or database queries.
Thank you!
How can I set the filter settings so that only posts from 2024 and 2025 are displayed? I use Flex Block 2, the largest window on the website. In this time frame, the ads should be displayed in mode: Random. Is that possible? See also attachment. KI gives me an individual php code for this: But I don’t know where I could insert it? I don’t know if it works?
function beitraege_2024_2025_random() {
$query = new WP_Query([
‘post_type’ => ‘post’,
‘orderby’ => ‘rand’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 5,
‘date_query’ => [
[
‘after’ => ‘2023-12-31’,
‘before’ => ‘2026-01-01’,
‘inclusive’ => true,
]
]
]);
ob_start();
if ($query->have_posts()) {
echo ‘
- ‘;
- ‘ . get_the_title() . ‘
while ($query->have_posts()) {
$query->the_post();
echo ‘
‘;
}
echo ‘
‘;
wp_reset_postdata();
}
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode(‘artikel_2024_2025’, ‘beitraege_2024_2025_random’);
Thank you very much for your help.

[30-May-2025 16:28:09 UTC] PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /home2/iucwmbmy/public_html/website_22055da4/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_block.php on line 2241
while in the development environment of wordpress the mobile shows correct. But in real environement from client mobile phone, it’s wrong.
I had previously disabled the mobile theme on the LearnDash course page. Otherwise, the mobile theme works well on several posts and pages. I’ve tested this again. But when it comes to LearnDash course content (and lessons), I notice that the switch isn’t working. I’ve set it in LearnDash to ‘inherit’ the theme, but even after clearing the cache, the problem persists. I’ve deactivated the WP Rocket plugin, but there’s no change. I’m out of ideas. Is it possible to block the JS file with code? Or set it up in a different way to disable the mobile theme (on the course sites)? Any other suggestions?
Thank You!
Hi,
Only the flex blocks have the option to add/remove elements, the normal blocks use only the theme panel settings that will apply globally – https://i.imgur.com/kr3oLLV.png also you can import from cloud a flex block that was configurated to looks similar with block 11 – and you can edit it – https://i.imgur.com/ptKrbuO.png – https://i.imgur.com/cSPbpwJ.png
Thank you!
Hola. Me gustaría quitar la fecha y autor del elemento Block 11. https://imgur.com/yAI5Iwi. Es este elemento. https://imgur.com/3LOjdRG. No puedo encontrar la opción. Gracias.
Hi,
This situation can be related to the fact that the flex block do not has the correct filter set, it should be set on related by category, tag or taxonomy like this – https://i.imgur.com/SNBQxBB.png (using the filter with single in front). Please check the settings you have on the element.
Thank you!
Hi,
There are 2 situations, first one is if the option for unique article is enabled on page – https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles/ (I believe is not the case) and the second one is related to offset – https://i.imgur.com/MHbFKkp.png remove the offset from block.
