Hello,
There are no post views shown on your posts. Please provide an example of what post views you mention.
Maybe you mean the comment count: https://www.screencast.com/t/X3WzppxTTMBH
All of the post or block metas can be removed for posts from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/JMKyPzWrL
and for blocks from here:https://forum.tagdiv.com/meta-info-modules-blocks/
Thanks.
Hi,
If you want to filter the block elements by tag you should simply choose this option from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6W6EF5gYJ If is not what you mean, please provide more details about your problem and what exactly you want to achieve so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hello,
If you want to add custom css to only affect one block but not the other, you have to use the extra class setting: https://www.screencast.com/t/tJFrrtzy
You can then use your custom css to target the specific block:
.mycustomclass{
border: 1px grey solid;
box-shadow: 1px 0 20px grey;
}
Thanks
Hi,
Is it possible to alter the number of articles shown on a Tag page? I can alter the type of block that is used on the page, but not the number of articles shown.
Example: https://footballinside.net/tag/world-cup/
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
There could be visual differences between default blocks and the flex blocks, in some cases. The flex blocks set the featured image as background for the module

Try to increase the image height parameter in the settings, test with higher values than 50

I used the tip in here of making the font size 0 to remove “article meta info” from the bottom of the block in “Big Grid 1,” but I still get a little bit of gray background color showing behind where the words would usually be. is there a way to remove that completely? Is there a way to not display the “article meta info” without just setting its font to zero?
thanks
Those blocks do not have normal pagination. It is how they are built. I have seen people request this feature (me included). Only the category templates from the cloud library have normal pagination so far.
Hello,
I would like to add Block with latest posts. I chose Block 11 and set post number limit to 8. But as I see in “Filter” tab, there is no Normal Pagination – only “Next Prev ajax”, “Load More button” and “Infinite load” are available. What am I doing wrong?

Basically, when you change themes, or do a major update to WP and to caching plugins, etc., Google might be loading your sitemap or following a link, or your sitemap might actually stop working due to plugin, etc., and briefly Google is following links to whatever it can load via the regex/rewrite rules from WP in the htaccess file, and this can cause Google to try to load the /site/wp-content/themes/theme/index.php file which it should really never do. I’ve poked the WP folks numerous times the past decade to consider changing that to default.php vs index.php as it’s NOT actually an index for that directory, and should never be loaded by anybody.
Technically, one solution — for those who have the time and patience — is to go into the folder, and rename the index.php file as a copy to all the missing ‘default’ templates that WP would normally fall back on, so that WP has no need for ever using that file; then inside the index.php file put a redirect to http://yoursite.ooo — or simply remove the file entirely.
Also keep in mind getting a server error for that URL is actually correct — it’s an internal file and should never be loaded anyway; so Google is just letting you know that it temporarily got directed there during a crawl of your sitemap while the system was updating and it couldn’t go anyplace else and generated an error.
If you get one of these errors once in a while, no biggie; mark fixed and get on with your life. If you are getting them daily, you have a serious issue with your permalinks and configuration. If you see the errors in your domain/hosting error log, it may be people trying to hack the site and you can block those IPs from ever visiting your site again.
Upshot – nobody should be trying to access files directly in that folder, nor should Google, so a 500 error is just that; it’s just like getting a 404 error when you remove a page — it doesn’t hurt anything, or ruin your rankings, or anything else. That page is not part of your site, and not part of your navigation or site links or content.
It’s really a minor flaw in WP using ‘index.php’ for something that should be ‘default.php’ as default template when no other template exists. If there were no index.php file there, you’d get a 404 instead.
Not sure that helps; but I’ve posted about this topic several times the past 4+ years on here (I don’t work here, just a webdev dinosaur). 🙂
There is also a breadcrumbs element in a tagdiv composer
There is?! I don’t see it! Have you done anything special to get it?
Hi. This is a feature request for the tagdiv category cloud templates. Is it possible to split the heading, date, author, comments meta from the excerpt? Maybe like how in some default blocks you can show the title and the other meta at the top of the image and the excerpt below the image? I was thinking of doing that (having title, date and comments at the top, but excerpt below the image for some category templates) but found it impossible coz the excerpt is also going above the image. Thanks.
Also, a homepage element with numbered pagination like the category templates would be a lifesaver. I would vouch for it in a future update.
Just open the page with tagdiv composer and then click on a block or element. Where you see row>column on the left (like this https://prnt.sc/j8pytg for example) click on the ‘row’ option. Then scroll down until you see “row stretch” and select your preferred setting from there. Repeat this for all items you have on that page.
Look under Newspaper>includes>demos>construction>pages>homepaage.txt and copy the code inside the file to a new page. You can then try to look at which code represents that section and copy it out of the rest of the code. Guss it should be this code (edit it with td composer)

Hello,
On the following page: https://devenirbilinguetest.blog/vivre-a-letranger/
My second block (with a red title) is a Block 16 and each post is displayed with its extract.How can I reduce the lenght to zero or hide the display of the posts extracts?
Thanks for your help
Hi Simion,
Thanks a lot for the answer. I’m trying to follow the instructions regarding the Ajax filter but I can’t reach my goals.
I would like to set up “Scolarité aux USA”, which is the tag I want to display above my block, but I must be doing something wrong. I can see 3 other elements that I don’t need, even though I input a single entry in the ID filter. One the page when I click on what I have for “Scolarité aux USA” it doesn’t show the posts under that tag.
See the screen shot :https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iLg5ocCZxOc3OofpzqkKUMhC1tXJKqjy
Thanks for your help again
How to change color of Next & Prev button in homepage category block?
Hello, I have 2 small questions about my topic Newspaper.
First, why my “Social Counter” on the right of my site https://2paclegacy.fr PC version does not update especially for instagram? However, I have the latest version of Newspaper, I updated the social counter in the plugins, I disabled and activated again but the counter remains blocked at the same number.
Another question also for Instagram, I put at the bottom of my homepage on the PC version of my site the band “Follow us on Instagram” with some photos that can be put from the theme panel but nothing do not want to add.
What to do for these 2 small problems?
In advance thank you for your help.
How can I control the image cropping in the Flex Block 1 and 2? It keeps chopping the top off images … I can’t determine if it’s trying to center it or what.
The normal blocks do not do that.
http://hitthatline.com uses the old blocks
The redesign we want to go with is: http://hitthatline.com/home-2.0/
As you can see thumbnails on images cut off the heads, particularly on mobile
Wordpress version: v. 4.9.6
Newsmag version: v 4.4
WPML version: v 4.0.3
My site: http://astro.najar.ca
I’m having a hard time working with translations. I bought WPML by recommendation of yours. It is a great pluging thou.
But I’m having trouble with some parts of newsmag.
1) First of all, the default widgets in the sidebar. I wanted to translate the default widgets per language. Down below in each widget I see a combo that let me to select the language I want the widget appear in. I click “save” and the value always return and stays in “All languages”.

The problem is in deed the widgets ( [tagdiv block 9] & [tagdiv] popular category ). For example, the RSS Widget works just fine.
2) I got the idea of making one sidebar per language and assign it to each translation of the main page (SiderBar English, SidebarFrancais, SidebarEspanol) . So I did that and that worked *** only for the main page***. I realized that I had to assign a sidebar to the blog and post template and for other sections too in the “theme panel” config section.
But the problem is that the settings in Newsmag Theme Panel aren’t localized per language, so, if I select the “SideBarEnglish”, it will appear for the other languages too.
Thank you for your help
Hi.
I’m using paginations [next-prev ajax] to all my blocks on frontpage. They work fine to desktop but more posts don’t load to mobile.
Same problem to more articles of posts.
(www.tameteora.gr)
Hi,
Maybe an option to choose the heading for each block will be implemented in the future.
At the moment only some multi-purpose elements have this option, such as the custom title element.
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Nd4AKOkbSJq
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The theme does not have any specific implementation in this regard.
Please try this guide: https://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/page-jumps/#middle
As an alternative, you can use the tagdiv composer to add a buton linking to a particular section.
Here is an example for a button: https://www.screencast.com/t/WNWrLTjm
I added the ‘mycustomclass’ to the field and I need to add the class to the block where I want to scroll to – like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/gYQMXF9OCwVG
Thank you!
Hello,
Each flex block has it’s own particular settings from the tagdiv composer. Changing the setting for one flex block, will not affect the other one on that page.
Thank you!
Hello,
It depends on the block you use and the aspect ratio of the image. Most of our theme blocks are wide and your book covers are most likely vertical so the theme center-top cropping system will only show the top part of your book cover.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
You cannot have full size vertical images in a wide-screen thumbnail
In this situation, we recommend using a flex block to show the books as you have control over the image size and proportions: https://www.screencast.com/t/gyyMp84MX
Thank you!
Hello,
This is controlled for each block in particular, not across the whole page. Each block has it’s own settings section where you can specify what content is shown in that particular block. Please check: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
