Hi,
The featured image can be bigger, for example the live theme demos use in some cases much bigger image sizes
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
This will however not have an impact, these original images will not be loaded in their full size on the website. Only thumbnails created from them will be shown
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Of course images can be further optimized. If you do not set featured images the modules in block and grids will display a default placeholder thumb. Of course your hosting plan has be ready for increased content and traffic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Suggestions for website speed are many, in this forum and also online

Hi,
In the future the option in the theme panel may be still kept as a general setting, an addition would be that each block will have the setting also. So you can customize each individual block to display or not this information.
Hi,
I am creating a lot of posts on my Newspaper theme site (50 so far). And now my site load time is slowing rapidly. For each post I’ve added a featured image using the recommended size of 1068 x 713. I believe this is the problem.
http://blockchaintrailblazers.com
How can I speed up my site? What minimum size image would you suggest is best for a featured image? Are there any other suggestions you could make to speed up site? Is there a way to avoid using featured images altogether? (without them the drop-down shows blank. Can I get it to show the headline there?)
To reduce image size, can I open up “edit editor” and scale down size of image or would I need to resize an image outside the website with an image editor then re-upload?
Thx
Hi,
The button elements can link to the destination you want
– https://www.screencast.com/t/0UvCEuZkmg
This can be the URL of an external page for example, or location on your website.
The buttons can also scroll to class, the option is here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/jJk0kVeD22
So for example if you set an extra class to a block further down the page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DHITZnbqW
Then use the same class in the button scroll to class field, when clicked it will scroll to that block.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
ok, so a possible work around could be that in a future update in the “Block Settings” you allow show/hide date in “meta info on modules/blocks” > 1. Show Date for Posts (already there) 2. Show Date for Pages (not there, would be nice to have).
I don’t know how difficult this is to implement from a coding perspective, but it would be nice to have this function in a future update.
Thanks
I’m missing a very simple thing. How to create links, for example from buttons to another page of the same page. How to link a blok say two scrolls down? is there a way to add identity to those blocks to use in links?
Hello Nana,
If you need more make some changes to your mega menu feature, you should edit the td_block_mega_menu.php like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/rJaCTofVQqdG
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
All the posts have a primary category, either you set one or not. If not set then the first one alphabetically will be picked, or the only one.
Once you set one then that will be primary. Posts will inherit the sidebar like you mention and the background. Also the breadcrumbs will display the primary category in the path to the post. When the post appears in a block or grid the category tag will be the primary category
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/
This would be the functionality of this feature, it is meant to help with the sidebar control as you can maintain the sidebars for more posts at once for example.
The only way to have the posts not inherit the sidebar of the primary category, is to set one manually for that post. That will override the category sidebar.
Thanks
Hi,
Please check the “Features” menu item in the live demo, there you will find all the blocks grids, full grids and most of the theme elements
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks
Nevermind I was able to solve it using this code:
.td_block_text_with_title a:hover {
color: #9acd32;
}
Thanks a lot!
Why is the main image on this page on my site pushed over to the left?
http://blockchaintrailblazers.com/this-blockchain-startup-will-piss-off-facebook-and-make-investors-happy/
And where do I change this template?
Thx
I’ve tried to find a demo of all the blocks, etc in order to find all of the available hover options for the different blocks and elements. There doesn’t seem to be anything on the demo version, and nothing in the forum. Is there a list or means of showing all of the available options?
Hi,
That will be the case. The theme can produce a total of 19 thumbnail size, when they are enabled in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
These thumbs are used on blocks/modules. They can be disabled and they will not be created anymore. Disable the ones that are not needed. Next to each size it is specified which elements use it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8YKI4tcR
WordPress also creates 3 sizes, you could disable those like this
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-prevent-wordpress-from-generating-image-sizes/
Note that the WordPress thumbnail size may be used by the theme in some cases, module 16 uses it for example.
Thanks
Hi,
At the moment the category pages can only be customized through the theme panel settings. These pages cannot be edited with the page builder.
In coming updates this will change, there will be a considerable amount of functionality added to how the post pages and category pages are created.
If you want to place a block for example in the category page now, this could only be done by manually entering it in the category template files. This is a similar topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/category-top-posts-style-featured-posts/
Thanks
Hi, as the title says. this “Random posts today” can be very handy but after 00:00 and until somebody writes a post, it returns only a block title with no content.
is there any easy solution to hide the whole block until at least one article with todays date is written?
kind regards
Hi,
1. From what I can see The news ticker element is affected by the font settings you have set for the body
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8GD3g1LI
The news ticker seems to be affected by the general body font settings. I will add this issue on our list and it will be fixed as soon as possible. In the meantime use a code like this in Theme panel->Custom CSS
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qqWbn6P68LQ
.td_block_trending_now {
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 21px;
}
2. For the big grid it seems that the font family is applied, only the font-size and line height is not working. I believe this is already added on our list, it will be fixed as well. Use this code to set the font size and line height of your choosing
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ysK3JeAz
.td_block_big_grid_fl_3 .td_module_mx20 .td-module-title {
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
}
These issues will be solved as soon as possible, sorry fro the inconvenience caused.
Thank you!
Hello marketinggrupoasserth,
Do you are referring to the category tag which is displayed on each post in the block? Also, notice that if that post has more than one category, there will be displayed only the primary category. Please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
So you want the date to be shown/hidden depending on what the block is filtered to display. That is not possible by a theme setting or even a modification I would know about. The block module will still be the same regardless of what is displayed in it, there would be no connection between the module and the post/page it shows.
Hello Catalin,
Thank you for the response. Please check this link https://www.indiaretailing.com/ here is the main problem. every block on this page is not working properly.
You can see main problem here >> https://www.screencast.com/t/A5IWEpsdaK6
Hi,
So I see that you want to have a Instagram section as the Construction demo. The demo ads some customization to this section, visually. A filter is added over the images, this is the code used if you want the same effect
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NlFWpEJF8vV
It must be entered in Theme panel->Custom CSS
.td_block_instagram .td-instagram-image {
-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);
filter: grayscale(100%);
}
.td_block_instagram a:hover .td-instagram-image {
-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);
filter: grayscale(0%);
}
If you place the Instagram element in a page and you want it to be full width, stretch the row
– https://www.screencast.com/t/IgB57i9JEE
If you place it in the footer and the website has a background set, the footer section can be stretched despite this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/6QeOpE1Lqe
If I did not manage to identify the problem, please correct me and I will try to help you further.
Thanks
