Hello Rune,
Notice that what you want is not easy to get and you should create a code which put automatically the ad space after each 3 or 4 articles.
You can add the code like this – http://screencast.com/t/W7VY918Dr3Pw
$adcounter++;
if (is_category()) {
if ($adcounter == 2) {
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');
}
elseif($adcounter == 4){
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_2"]');
}
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Installing the demo with content will not remove or overwrite your existing content. It will import some dummy posts, categories, menus etc. These are meant to provide a structure for the demo to be displayed. They can then gradually be replaced with your own.
Installing the demo with no content, will import the demo custom design and theme panel settings.
You could install it like this, but in order to have a homepage like the mentioned demo, the same elements and layout have to be used in the homepage (same Full big grid, blocks etc) The custom design will apply only to the same elements like in the demo. For example the design on the Grid displayed on top differs from the default grid, it has custom design specific to that demo

Hello usertagal,
First of all, you should provide your website URL so I can take a closer look at it, to identify the problem. Please check the Block Settings fields from Theme panel here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/lW8RSyxDb0U because there you will see all the thumbs size for each block/module.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello joshuabaer23,
Please keep in mind that the Block 3 does not have any excerpts implemented in it but only the Title of the post, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/0JNWj6TelU5S
You can try using the following code below ->
.td-blog-architecture .td_module_1 .entry-title {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The Latest articles section can be removed by selecting the default page template, in the page attributes settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dAa5WxDT
This section will always be displayed on the bottom of the page, it cannot be moved on top of the page. However you can place on pages any block or grid from the available ones, in any position or order, with the composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Latest articles could be any block you want, with the content sorted by latest and the same name if that is what you want. This is a useful guide abut the block settings and options
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Some footer templates come with predefined content, others are empty templates
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
You can choose an empty footer template, and insert the widgets you want, in the Widgets section
– https://www.screencast.com/t/boLeDbvnDf0f
There is a weather widget in the theme, more about it here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/weather-widget/
But you can try others as well, if required.
Thanks
Hi,
This is an example for Big grid 1 which does not display an excerpt by default. Like I mentioned some block modules display excerpts and others not. Module 2 has an excerpt for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HSEVd4Fo
This code could be copied inside the modules that form the Big grid (MX5 and MX6)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
Like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/V66RyhIwd0Qu
– https://www.screencast.com/t/P6H8Vo7EpD5
Notice the length of the excerpt can be controlled in this case by the number that is entered in the parenthesis
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ozrof69l5
The result is like this for the Big grid in question
– https://www.screencast.com/t/j9zMuAMN7
You can try this method and experiment with the modules you want, and add excerpts. Hope this is somewhat helpful.
Thanks
I want to add some code block in the post, wonder if your theme provides any quick way to do that?
If not what is the best plugin you recommend ? thanks!
Hi,
There should not be any problem changing the length of the excerpt, to your liking. This can be done for each block module in particular. Each theme block is made of modules
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
The length of the post tile can be modified for all the modules, they all have this option
– https://www.screencast.com/t/uSZvrSzNRa
But not all the modules display a content excerpt
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EQk5pwQY2u
You will have to make this modification for the modules needed, and maybe go to the cache settings and clear it after making the changes.
Regarding the cache you are using, you will have to consult the cache instructions for more information about it’s settings and what they do.
About the page you mention, I don’t think I fully understand what you mean. Any block, grid or element can be added on pages, with the composer. Please follow the tagDiv composer tutorial and also this useful guide for block settings
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Here you can see all the available blocks and grids
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/

Hi,
1. Contact Form should not be considered render blocking. By default the Speedbooster plugin will move the plugin resources in the footer, this is tested and it should work properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/djvztImzh
This is a useful guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
2. When the Speedbooster plugin is active, a minified theme JS is served, for CSS you could try this solution for example
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
3. Those images are displayed when there is no thumbnail for the post. If the posts have featured images set, they will be replaced by thumbnails created from them.
There are many useful speed optimization guides here on the forum, here are some of them

Hi! In the author block, the email icon turns white on hover, while all of the other icons turn blue. Is there a way to fix this? Please see here: http://athousanddifferentcolors.com/author/audrey-woodhams/. Thanks for your help!
I apologize if I am missing a duplicate thread somewhere.
I tried an upgrade from version 4 to the latest version. My current installation has few customizations and the content seems to partially render. There is a problem with some parts of the pages that show the old codes. For example:
[td_slide category_id=”916″ sort=”random_posts” hide_title=”hide_title” autoplay=”5″ limit=””]
[td_block1 category_id=”7″ limit=”” ajax_pagination=”load_more”]
…instead of rendered content.
I saw on another thread that there was a script that needed to be run when upgrading. Does this still exist for v8? Is there an alternative?
Thanks.
Open the CSS tab of the first block inserted in the page and play with the numbers (pixels if I am correct) – you should be able to move the block as you please.
Hello everyone, my first post here. I’d like to ask you for help regarding the following screenshot:
I’d like to change the title color from white to black, but I cannot seem to find the appropriate field in the newspaper settings.
Anyone got an idea?
Thank you,

PD: And there is a problem between Newspaper and IP Geo Block?! (for the 500 error)
Are you sure they arent sent… or just not received. Two totally different things. Check your domain with RBLs to see if spam blocked. Theme doesnt manage sending email. Check error log for failure on sending email. Try manual email test via smtp to hotmail account from your domain.
Im using a widget Block 1 to show the “most Popular content”, works fine, BUT the filtering is not working, i have some post that i dont want to show, i followed the tutorial steps but is not working, the widget is still showing all post (without filtering)
Here some screens:
1. For single article – Disable show date:

2. For Block – Check this point: Theme panel – Block Settings – Meta info on Modules/Blocks
For my particular site I dont require dates in any of the blocks (i.e date a article was published)
How can i remove the dates?
Hey,
When adding blocks, i can only choose one header template. Why do you think thats happening? How to fix it?
View of this scenario is within the demo. My version is on a not-public server.
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_architecture/ellie-gouldings-living-room-is-all-about-texture/
I am not asking to remove the gap. Im wondering if the gap is supposed to be that way, or if there is a setting to adjust it. I also wanted to point out that adding a review to the post seems to mess up the css in that block.

Hello,
would be possible to display even just one tag near the category inside a block ?
Hi! I have a retina display, so I turned on the retina buttons for all of the blocks in Theme Panel>Block Settings>Thumbs on Modules/Blocks. Will this have any bad effects on screens that do not have retina displays? Will there be any bad effects at all by having the retina thumbs turned on? Thanks!
Flash is not supported by most web browsers by default anymore, being an end of life product (https://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2017/07/adobe-flash-update.html) and blocked by most modern ones, so should generally no longer be used — or start winding down if you have no choice “right now.”
What browser are you using, do you have Flash installed in browser, does your browser support Flash?
Theme has zero control over Flash content.
If you paste it into a post using the text editor, and it doesn’t work, it means something is wrong with what you’re entering, or your browser doesn’t suppport Flash playback.
( I don’t work here. Just feedback on the obvious possible issue. ) 🙂
Hi,
3)Unfortunately, this is only the available option for our images, sorry!
4)Use the code below ->
.td_block_1 .td_module_wrap:hover .entry-title a{
color:red!important;
}
Thanks.
