I was only saying that my request echoed ipcs’s. I also added that I selected ‘Block 9’, because the Block 9 icon implies that you can achieve a single list of post titles without thumbnails. The thumbnails part is accurate, but not the single column that would span a reasonable width of the page.

Hi,

The theme automatically creates thumbnails from the featured images set
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
These thumbnails will be displayed on block modules and other elements. If the post has not featured image a default placeholder will be displayed by the theme. These placeholder images are found here in the theme
https://www.screencast.com/t/7EPGtC5naw5
If you want to replace them please use the same name, size and format for the images.

Thanks

Hi
We have around 20k+ post and few of them are missing featured image, So by default theme replace it with missing thumbnail image in blocks, I just wanted to use ours to show if thr is no thumbnail present, I can check the source and replace the image with my own but i don’t think that’s the smart way to do that

thanks

Hi,

Changing the thumbnail size of the block modules would not be easy. Modules are designed to display the predefined thumbnails that assigned to them, and all the styling is based on that. Modifying the thumbnail will probably cause layout problems within the block.
If you decided on that thumbnail size, best you use blocks that use it
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-5/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-6/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-13/ (on one column)
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-17/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-20/ (on one column)

Hi,

You can use each block type to customize the category tag color as you like, not the actual category name, those are treated the same. This is an example for three different blocks on a page
https://www.screencast.com/t/icai3arR3E
Then color of the tag can be changed by adding it in the code, for each block
https://www.screencast.com/t/Ze1l3dq65
This can be done by module used, some blocks contain multiple module types
https://www.screencast.com/t/C9l5l3dUA6Wl
Here you can see which modules each block contain, based on the layout
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
If you have multiple blocks of the same type, these can be differentiated by setting an unique class for each of them
https://www.screencast.com/t/1PkqRb4O
This is the code used in the example

.td_block_1 .td-post-category {
background-color: red;
color: yellow;
}

Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks

Hi,

I wanted to include that part as well, but you mentioned only the border/outline of the button. It should be like this for the black arrows
https://www.screencast.com/t/0uamUmeeXjV

.td_block_related_posts .td-next-prev-wrap a {
border: 1px solid black;
color: black;
}

The related block header template depends on the global setting here
https://www.screencast.com/t/roK19lE5
These are all the available block header templates
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-1/
For coloring there are no specific options just for this element. You can use something like this to color it as you like
https://www.screencast.com/t/Xcdr71j9X

.td-related-title .td-cur-simple-item {
background-color: green!important;
color: blue!important;
}
.td-related-title {
border-color: red!important;
}

Thanks

Hi,

I am using a SSL Zertifikat and it seems that this leads to a problem when trying to use the tagdiv Composer.

When e.g. clicking in the backend the link “Edit with TD Composer” (https://picload.org/view/dglpgida/bildschirmfoto2017-10-04um01.1.png.html) for a page the composer is opened, but the content is not displayed (https://picload.org/view/dglpgidr/bildschirmfoto2017-10-04um01.1.png.html).

When using the developer Tools to check if there are any errors a security error is displayed with:

Mixed Content: The page at ‘https://www.mudradar.de/wp-admin/post.php?post_id=23&td_action=tdc’ was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource ‘http://www.mudradar.de/?td_action=tdc_edit&post_id=23’. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

The Url of the page I tried to edit is no longer https but http. When trying to copy the URL from the console and just add a “s” behind http manually and open it up in the browser only the frontend (without tag div composer) is shown.

How can I resolve this?

Best regards, Dinah

I had the same question. The problem is that the icon for ‘Block 9’ indicates that you have the ideal layout of stacked list of posts in one column. I took the icon to be accurate since the ones that have image placeholders will by default, show images, and the ones that do not, don’t.

Hello,
Well, I have team of authors for the newspaper I have made who can’t understand the concept of responsive images and why an image may be cutted down when it tries to fit in a smaller container.
So, I decided to choose a thumbnail size and have all thumbnails generated to this aspect ratio.
The thumbnail size I will use is 324 x 235.

Now, I have to go to all blocks I use and change the size of their thumbnails.

In particular:
Block 18 – the thumbnail is size of 696 x 385 and I want to make it 696 x 504
Block 3 – the thumbnails are size of 324 x 160 and I want to make it 324 x 235
Block 15 – the thumbnails are size of 218 x 150 and I want to make it 218 x 158
Module 19 – the thumbnails are size of 534 x 350 and I want to make it 534 x 387 (without to be zoomed in)

So, my first question is if this possible to via the theme panel.
If not, can you, please, provide me with some instructions on how to change the thumbnail size of 1-2 blocks so I can make the others by myself?
Please, keep in mind that, if I need to make changes for the responsive sizes, I need to know it so, please, include the necessary instructions for this scenario too.

I know that I have to “play” with that piece of code but I am not sure how:
Code of image

I hope I have your feedback soon.

Thank you in advance.

We actually need each category to have a unique color in a block. I currently don’t see any distinction between each category in the inspector to be able to do this. What do you recommend?

Thank you Simion.

I know where the “Related Articles” section shows up. I meant to say, i wanna know how to configure it, like changing the tab color for example. It dont show up anywhere (widget section of composer) like any other block.

Thank you Simion. That worked, only the arrow stays behind, its didnt became black, but stays grey. How come?

Hi,

It would be helpful if you could provide some examples of what exactly is happening with the block, if there is a problem. The theme width is fixed, and all the elements on the page are dependent on this width.
This is how block 7 looks in different row settings
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-7/
When editing the page with the composer rows in pages can be stretched, block 7 would look like this when the row is stretched
https://www.screencast.com/t/f8sAX6kAy
More information about using the tagDiv composer here
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Please let us know if you are still having problems, or have any other questions.

Thanks

Hi,

That could be caused by something as simple as an Adblocker in the browser. Or maybe a firewall or security plugin blocking the ad. There is a troubleshooter you could try as well for Adsense ads issues
https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1208336?hl=en
The theme is fully compatible with Adsense ads, there should be no such problems. Something else is causing this, and Adblocker, a plugin etc.

Thanks

Hello-

I’m new to Newspaper Theme. I’m struggling with how to adjust the margin width for a Block. Big grid width is OK. But despite trying to change the width of a Block, it does not seem to have any impact – the Block (specifically Block 7) appears screen-to-screen width.

Please help.

Hi,

1. The “Related Articles” section is displayed below the single post page, when it is enabled in the theme panel
https://forum.tagdiv.com/related-articles/
That is where you can disable it if it is not required, or configure it.

2. The screenshot is not working for me for some reason, but I think I understand what you want. Something like this
https://www.screencast.com/t/3dCA0lbd4n

.td_block_related_posts .td-next-prev-wrap a {
border: 1px solid black;
}

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. It would do for now. The reason I ask this is because I want adsense define it’s own width. 728×90 is one of the recommended size, but it’s wider than the span8 block width or the 2/3 of the container which only 696px.

Thanks again.

Hello Catalin!

Thank you for your support! Here are the requested screenshots, clearing all caches wouldn’t do the trick.

On a main page (called “ECO”) I’m loading a dynamic sidebar (called “ECO Sidebar”), this sidebar contains the Block 7. As mentioned before, it worked fine and looked like your screenshot until a couple of days ago …

Hi,

Please notice that the Block 7 for 1 column should look like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/qzt3UD284GAP Try to clear all of your caches and check the results. If the problem is still there, please try to make a screen to your backend layout of your homepage so I can see how you have used the block 7 in your template.

Thanks for the message!

Hi,

The block widgets have an option to set a custom class to each of them, for this purpose exactly
https://www.screencast.com/t/lZBFXZ1A

Thanks

Hi,

I have tested this and it should apply for all block titles
https://www.screencast.com/t/uplbLkkwb
Try using the code with important like this

.block-title span {
width: 150px!important;
}

Forgot to mention, if you want it to have effect only on the homepage blocks, it would be like this

.home .block-title span {
width: 150px!important;
}

If it is still not working it would be helpful if you could provide a link to your website so I can identify why this is happening.

Thanks

Hello,

1. I have a block with recent articles under each article. But where is it located? I cant find it. Its not in the widgets section and it dont show up in the composer. So where is it?

2. In this recent articles block i wanna change the color of the borders/outline of the small previous and next buttons (these http://i64.tinypic.com/5bbt06.png). They need to be the same color as the tab itself, which is black. In a similar way as all my other blocks (see here https://www.dagonline.nl). In all my other blocks i added a extra class + custom CSS to change the colors. How can i fix this?

Thanks!

Hello ipaonline,

Sorry for this, but notice that our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to add some ads to your category pages, sorry!
If you want to add some ads in your categories pages you should edit the theme core files and add it to the code, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/advertising-block-in-category-page/
After this, using a bit of CSS code you should adjust it to have a good look. Also, if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,

Those parameters of the server and WordPress are imperative factors in the functionality of the theme and plugins. They are general WordPress configuration elements. Please follow the guide provided above and see if everything is set properly.
Ask your hosting provider to make the changes for you, as they might have a recommended method in this matter.
If there is still a problem, please deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and clear any installed cache. Then check in the theme panel while saving settings, if there are any errors in the browser console. Press F12 to bring up the inspector window and then open the console tab
https://www.screencast.com/t/ENQ5a8CB8
Check if there are any errors in this console. The admin ajax process could be blocked by the server, because of the multiple requests that it makes. In this case you can contact the hosting provider and explain this situation or provide a screenshot with the error.
They should be able to fix it if this is happening.
Please let us know the results.

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to change the color and background-color for that block title, try using the code below ->

.td-footer-container .block-title > span {
color: red!important;
background-color:pink!important;
}

Regarding on your AdSense, notice that there you have more size for your Ads. Try to change them and select for example 720*90px, clear all the caches and check the results.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your understanding!

Good evening.

In the old days when I was going to the “widget” and chose a Block it would have a fixed “ID” and I could make a change of colors through this “Class ID”. Now it gets a random ID that always changes when refresh.

Is it possible to put a Class?

Thank you
Helder Miranda
