You can use geo targeting with an ad management module/plugin (not part of theme); however be aware with the shortage of IPV4 IPs, the actual country/locale may be totally wrong (e.g., here in Calif when Frontier took over FIOS from Verizon, all our IP blocks were originally from Canada, so I’d go to Newegg and they would redirect me to their Canadian site every time … so the geo sniffer totally failed there … ) …. until IPv6 comes into full adoption, there will still be a lot of false locales with the wind down on IPv4.
Food for thought anyway 🙂
Thank you for your reply, but either I am not understanding or missing something. ON the home page I have the first block to randomly pick stories, and then I have nine blocks showcasing the nine categories. I am attempting two do two things.
On is the first block is set for the latest from every category, and the same for each of the nine blocks but specific to their category. What I would like is to show the featured before the latest of each of the blocks. Maybe not possible. Thanks

There is no budget needed for theme support, we try our best to provide solutions and help in each topic, as soon as possible.
All the block titles on pages can be customized the way you like, with the composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/X2jc12KJEyp
The block title font color and background color can be customized in the general tab of the block settings.
The content that each block displays can be filtered and sorted as well
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XBVXDS5F
These are all the available block settings and options
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
More useful information about the tagDiv composer here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for misunderstanding. You can use a code like this, that would apply only for the block with that custom class
– https://www.screencast.com/t/7iQSr3xk1
.rmn-img-only .entry-title,
.rmn-img-only .td-module-meta-info {
display: none;
}
Thanks
Hi,
Basically you need to trim down the block ajax options meaning the blocks pagination and ajax filters, this should have an impact. Remove pagination and ajax filters from blocks on pages and in sidebars
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dJiJC0KA7lWD
Deactivate Related articles on posts as suggested, and Latest articles on pages
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8GOc6mmqTp
– https://www.screencast.com/t/YSAB199r
Also make sure you do not use too many different types of blocks on pages. Plugins can also make requests. Deactivate all plugins except theme plugins and monitor the situation.
Maybe you should consider upgrading the hosting plan, if your website traffic is increasing, the you should not cut back on more complex features.
These are the theme server requirements, and some hosting requirement suggestions

Hi,
@gyanbook A popular posts widget can be any block you want, from the available ones. Choose the one you want and place it the sidebar you want
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HaXPazXczo
– https://www.screencast.com/t/uNQkYogwW
Then simply sort the posts by popular, in the block settings filter tab
– https://www.screencast.com/t/j9ervFQe
Here you can find more about the block settings and options
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Sidebars can be created from multiple places
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
The theme does not have options for sending emails at subscribers. There are plugins that you can install that have these options.
Thanks
Hi,
Each demo is custom made, including the block header in this demo
– https://www.screencast.com/t/mdcj8ZyV2
You can change the block header style in general in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/GNezJMJqh
For pages built in the composer this general block header can be overridden, in this case the pages can be edited with the composer and each block can be customized
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SZV9Am2BODy
Please correct me if I misunderstood what you wanted.
Thanks
Hi,
The theme creates thumbnails from the images set as featured
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VppoApDdUEzH
These thumbnails are then used on post templates
– https://www.screencast.com/t/5ruukDWsc
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SWW6ywAzoY1a
And all the modules that form blocks and grids
– https://www.screencast.com/t/cwHCEhqMbU
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KoisxoYR
I don’t know if this information is useful for you in this case, but hopefully it can provide a starting point in order to achieve this.
Thanks
Hi,
I have seen the issue on your website, that is not supposed to happen. The animation is still functioning when it should not, for a single post. I cannot replicate the issue, the ticker does not fade when a single post is displayed.
This can be caused by plugin conflicts, custom code or modifications to the theme files. You could try deactivating all plugins except theme plugins, and clear all caches. Then check if this has any effect. And temporarily remove modifications if there are any.
I could give you a code to cancel the animation (enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS), but this will work only for the present situation
– https://www.screencast.com/t/irT7ENyDKqBn
.td_block_trending_now .td_fadeOutLeft {
animation: none;
}
Thanks
Hello,
I purchased the Newspaper 8 theme and i thought i was able to organize my new newswebsite myself. I work with WordPress for years now, but unfortunately im kind a stuck. To much options for my knowledge. Im super frustrated, because i bought the theme more than a week ago and i thought i was already writing happily, clearly that is not the case.
So im in need for some help here. I think the customizations i want arent that much of a deal though. I dont want big adjustmens. I want a simple and clean layout. I just need someone who is familair with the theme, it shouldnt take to much time.
This is my URL: https://www.dagonline.nl. Like i said, i want a clear and simple layout for my newswebsite. The yellow ‘Dont miss’ tab/block who is pre-installed with the demo is nice. I need more of those in different colors for different categories for example. A good example is http://www.nu.nl
Who wants to help me out here? We can do this by email or Skype. I have a little budget available.
Thank you so much.
Stinus
Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
to I found the plugin that block the comments.
but I can’t find where the ads are coming from .. please advise.
Thanks.
Hello Coin Hero,
Please try using the code below and place it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.block-title .td-pulldown-size{
text-transform: lowercase;
}
For more information about this property, please check here -> https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_text.asp
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi, I have a problem with block-15. When I added for the first time, it has the classic grey background without post thumb.
However, when I add block-15 to another section, its layout is deferent and has the posts’ thumbs.
I am comfused and I don’t know how to fix that.
Here you can see a screen cast video showing the problem: http://marketpost.gr/docs/block-15-problem.mp4
I would appreciate your immediate responce because my boss has to a meeting in 4 hours and he will demostrate the website.
Thank you in advance.
PS. I also have a problem with block 9. I added the time stamp of the post before the title. But, if the title is too long, the time goes above it and breaks the layout. Is there a way to set a fixed number of characters for the titles or tell “if there is no more space, cut the title and show … “? Any hint for that?
Hi Simion, thanks for the screenshots. We actually want to remove that red extra space. Under design options of the block, we set background to red so we can see how big the extra space is after setting title, date and excerpt to hidden via css.
Hello Coin Hero,
Here is talking about Block Title and this element can be changed from the Block Settings, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/8K1itVQI Check these settings because from there you can customize the block title.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
That is a background image set for the block title, for that particular demo
– https://www.screencast.com/t/du63pHkve0v
Each demo is built custom, normally the block header style used would display like this
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-6/
But it is customized with a background image and other properties.
Thanks
Hi,
Products can be displayed in blocks like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/y2ETbxNaJQ
The sorting will work, but the filtering only works for post categories. If you want to change this functionality you could try to make the modifications here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/cWOjXrM2oH
But please note that this is an advanced task, and requires coding knowledge.
Thanks
Hi,
You could use the block text with title
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KU3SeaVa
This element requires text to be entered in it’s content however, if no text is entered it will display a message
– https://www.screencast.com/t/IlJQrCS5s9
That could be removed if you do not need to enter text, like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/html-code-here-replace-this-with-any-non-empty-text-and-thats-it/
Thanks
Hi,
That layout issue could by solved by deactivating the tagDiv composer from your plugins section. This editor is automatically activated when the theme is updated or installed.
Having both composers active can cause this kind of issues.
For the theme panel saving issues, maybe you have restrictions installed or firewalls that block the process. If it works on other computers that means the issue is locally.
Thanks
Hi,
From what I can tell, there seems to be the block you modified displaying only the thumbnail, then a text column and an empty space element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DtatsRFA
The empty space has a set height of 100px
– https://www.screencast.com/t/bccEhE6e
If you want that space removed, remove the empty space element by editing the page with the composer.
Please correct me if I misunderstand the problem.
Thanks
I need to change the font size of block title but just in some blocks (with custom code .class)

font-size: 15px!important;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 300;
}
Hello,
I made up my home page (ilsaronno.it) with several modules and blocks that take news from the categories of the site. However, I found a problem: some news appear several times inside the page in several blocks.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
Thank you
Claudia
NOTE – if you have a web host running Plesk/ONYX there is now a nice WordPress toolkit for the system that helps secure known issues with WordPress … and I thought I’d share some of the info from that plugin for ONYX systems for those looking for more info on hardening their setup.
=================================
The wp-content folder. The wp-content directory may contain insecure PHP files that can be used to damage your site. After WordPress installation, PHP files can be executed from the wp-content directory. The security check verifies that the execution of PHP files in the wp-content directory is forbidden. Note that custom directives in the .htaccess or web.config files might override this security measure. Also note that some of your plugins might stop working after securing the wp-content folder.
The wp-includes folder. The wp-includes directory may contain insecure PHP files that can be used to damage your site. After WordPress installation, PHP files can be executed from the wp-includes directory. The security check verifies that the execution of PHP files in the wp-includes directory is forbidden. Note that custom directives in the .htaccess or web.config files might override this security measure. Also note that some of your plugins might stop working after securing the wp-includes folder.
The configuration file. The wp-config.php file contains credentials for database access and other sensitive information. After WordPress installation, the wp-config.php file can be executed. If, for some reason, processing of PHP files by the web server is turned off, hackers can access the content of the wp-config.php file. The security check verifies that unauthorized access to the wp-config.php file is blocked. Note that custom directives in the .htaccess or web.config files might override this security measure.
Directory browsing permissions. If directory browsing is turned on, hackers can obtain information about your site (what plugins you use and so on). By default, directory browsing is turned off in Plesk. The security check verifies that directory browsing on the WordPress installation is turned off.
Database prefix. WordPress database tables have the same names in all WordPress installations. When the standard wp_ database table name prefix is used, the whole WordPress database structure is not a secret and anyone can obtain any data from it. The security check changes the database table name prefix to something other than wp_. The maintenance mode is turned on, all plugins are deactivated, the prefix is changed in the configuration file, the prefix is changed in the database, the plugins are re-activated, the permalink structure is refreshed, and then the maintenance mode is turned off.
Security keys. WordPress uses security keys (AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, LOGGED_IN_KEY, and NONCE_KEY) to encrypt information stored in the user’s cookies. A good security key should be long (60 characters or longer), random and complicated. This security check verifies that the security keys are set up and that they at least contain both alphabetic and numeric characters.
Permissions for files and directories. If permissions for files and directories do not comply with the security policy, these files can be used to hack your site. After WordPress installation, files and directories can have various permissions. The security check verifies that the permissions for the wp-config.php file are set to 600, for other files to 644, and for directories to 755.
Administrator’s username. When a WordPress copy is installed, by default there is a user with administrative privileges and the username admin. As a user’s username cannot be changed in WordPress, one only needs to guess the password to access the system as the administrator. The security check verifies that there is no user with the administrative privileges and the username admin.
Version information. There are known security vulnerabilities for each WordPress version. For this reason, displaying the version of your WordPress installation makes it an easier target for hackers. The version of an unprotected WordPress installation can be seen in the pages’ meta data and readme.html files. The security check verifies that all readme.html files are empty and that every theme has a functions.php file which contains the line: remove_action(\’wp_head\’, \’wp_generator\’);.
