Hi,
Using the tagDiv composer, you can set extra classes to the blocks for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/3DtiqKrc5
This way these blocks will be unique an you can target them specifically.
For a particular page you can use the page Id for example. The page Id is display as a class on the body
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NUwbjjc83p
So you can start your custom code with that class, and it will apply only on that page.
Thanks
Most of it should be, assuming you’re running Apache/Linux. Note that the nice formatting of my code got kind of whacked when they moved to the new forum template…. soo.. might not be super readible/legible.
Kind of multiple threads going in my old mega thread — so, perhaps useful to work ‘backwards’ ?
a) some basic wp-config cleanups (add direct paths, memory change, image compression)
aa) htaccess stuff for common time to live, file type, redirect xmlrpc queries, etc.
b) some basic functions.php stuff to clean needless stuff in header of WP pages, remove stuff like XMLRPC stuff, some security stuff; remove ‘?’ queries on stuff (versioning);
c) optimize style.css with minifcation; compress main .js file per Google tool
d) consider moving to web-safe font stack and not loading ANY google fonts; have to hack out section in the main them booster function file, then search/replace the ‘font-family’ elements in the style.css (easier prior to minification, obviously)
e) put custom CSS bottom of style.css vs theme panel
advanced stuff included – un-enqueueing the main style.css, loading in footer; after generating “critical CSS’ with the critical CSS generator online; putting above the fold CSS in header.php (only way to remove render blocking css) ** not needed if moving to http/2 platform.
Super advanced peeps might choose to use mod-pagespeed, https, php 7, and http/2.
So, basically.. kind of a “test your speed,” (with *no* ads running); then make some mods; then retest couple of times, etc., rinse repeat.
I’m no longer using Newspaper – moved to NewsMag 3x last year entirely. Not yet on 4x. But also using TagDiv’s WPION thing as a beta test. (actually re-rendering thumbs for one test of that right now in other browser tab!).
Soooooooo….. basic Apache stuff, and WP-config.php stuff, and common sense thing for functions.php that do specific things — all useful. Good to research WHAT things do before using them.

Hello, how can I change the block title heading tag? I ran a httml test on my home page http://www.eatkb.com and results show that the block title is a an h4 and the meat information (title of the post, is an h4). How do I change the block title to an h2? Thank you!
Hi thanks for this great theme. First of all I would like to ask you how can I display posts in modified/updated order in category and home page blocks. Secondly how to show on posts updated post timings, like the post published at and next to it updated at(if I update the post)
Thanks in Advance
Hello Catalin,
AWESOME! This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
I tried the code on my blog and on desktop it seems to work just fine … but when I checked the site on ipad mini (with 768×1024 view port) … and samsung galaxy tab 10 (with an 800×1024 view port) the ad (300x250px) scrolls down below the featured image (300×250 px). I was hoping that the featured image / ad block would be responsive.
Would it be possible for you to modify/add the code so that the layout remains responsive on other devices? I would REALLY appreciate it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!
On iphone resoultion
I have modified the Politics demo theme, but now the titles for my posts do not show on the home page. The problem occurs in any block or side bar as well.
Here’s a link to my site: http://thebastion.co.in
Please could you help me!
Hello,
This live CSS editor is side-wide and this css tab doesn’t allow for custom css to be added.
My question is: is there a way to add lots of css code customization for specific TD element only? Exemple
If a page has two td_block_5 elements, I want some customization only for one of the blocks and not to the other one.
Moreover, there are many changes that I’d like to apply to specific pages only.
Example:
I’d like something like
.td_module_3 .td-module-title {
letter-spacing: 1px;
}
to affect only the td_module_3 elements on the current page and no other pages/posts.
I just went to adjust a page and I cant find the layout blocks I built the site with.
Any ideas?
Hi,
How I can change default color for hyperlink text in post & page content body?
also how to change the default color for blockquote in post & page content?
Looking forward to your help.
Thanks & Regards
Debarup
Quick question: what’s the best way to limit the css to a specific page?
Or, using the css editor inside the TD composer already does that? Asking because I don’t really want all the td_block_x to be affected by a change.
Hi
I’m exceding my hosting quota because I’ve uploaded a lot of images to my hosting.
As far as I know Newspaper theme converts every uploaded image to several images with different dimensions. Right?
Well, I think that’s right for featured images in order to show them properly in any block but not for every image. Around 90% of them are just for my posts.
So my question is:
Could I refresh my media content in order to get hosted only sized images except for featured images?
Excuse me for my bad english.
I hope you can understand me.
Thank you
Tell me please , is it possible to do so in the footer , that would be like in the screenshot , the block 1 remains on the left edge , 2 and 3 the unit was aligned in the center screenshot

Hello lanimaletlhomme,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option or element that allows you to make a playlist with Dailymotion videos, like YT or Vimeo, sorry! Another alternative for you would be to make your own playlist in Dailymotion channel and then, add this playlist on your website, using the embed code which can be generated from this channel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/1eDWZk2sDsvC (this is a playlist) and then you can use the embedded code from here -> http://www.dailymotion.com/extras/jukebox?list=/playlist/xb00v_Phorton4_beyonce-playlist/1 and add it in a Text Block with Title on your page and the result can be see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/fmOI81yaJY
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
thanks for the reply simion
can i ask whether the screenshots are taken from an emulator or an actual tablet, and if a tablet what os was it using?
i have tried it on two different android versions, and an older ios, from 10″ to 7″, all showing the mobile theme.
i actually turned all caching off. removed every plug in that was doing any ‘speed’ or ‘optimisation job on my website. not just for this, but in several areas of development there was a nagging doubt caching could be the problem. i even followed steps to check for cache left overs (and actually found w3 traces from ages ago before i moved to super on theme advice). having removed all of that, and being 100% cache free, i turned off cloudflare and purged everything.
so one thing i can be pretty sure of is cache is not behind the issue.
i have started turning one or two optimisation bits on again. cautiously, checking everything each time an option is flicked.
it has been a useful exercise. a few upgrade issues have resolved themselves, though that may be more to do with your recommendation of switching to php 5.6. than the absence of caching – but having caching out of the way for a development month still seems to make sense.
there are just two issues that remain, and have remained throughout, this tablet displaying mobile theme, and corruption caused by full width blocks (that one i can live with for now)
what is the methodology of the mobile theme in what it serves itself to? is it screen size, resolution, some trigger in the device that says ‘i am a tablet or i am a phone’? might help narrow it down if i can get some more examples.
The ‘Block 6’ is being used on the frontpage with Visual Composer. Four articles are shown in here. After I’ve published one article on my Chromebook, three of them had 25 words and one of them 40. In the article published on the Chromebook, sentences also break off like described in my previous message, without any code in de text editor to make sense out of it. The frontpage setup is fully setup according to your documentation and based on one of the installed demo’s.
Hello Torasko,
Please notice that the entire theme behavior should be the same no matter what device is used. I guess that you are talking about Excerpts section, right? I suppose that you have set the Excerpts to be 25 words for a block and for another one to be 40 words and that’s why you, the results do not look better. Please check our theme panel, Excerpts section and try to setup it according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-excerpts-introduction/
Thanks for your understanding!
when I open add element section and scrolling for more blocks/grids it did not scroll down.
Hi,
You can use the browser inspector to identify the elements used on the page. You will see that the blocks used are these
– https://www.screencast.com/t/9lLRSzFQ2
You could do the same like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DkxBUPPIN
– https://www.screencast.com/t/9Ejxfmbv
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AgBFcLt2ulf5
Split the row in three columns, add Block 14 with a 1 limit post in each column, then Block 9 just after it. Of course the demo has it’s own style and design for these elements, so they will not be looking exactly like in the demo.
You could copy the style from the demo and make them look the same if you want

Hi,
All the elements on the page can be customized. Simply edit your page with the tagDiv composer and make the required modifications. There you change the block titles
– https://www.screencast.com/t/0OGvpHHjg1
And also choose from many filtering and sorting options, in regards to what posts the block will display

Hello seikology,
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Notice that you should check the Block Settings because from there you can set up the post limit number.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
If you mean the category tag that is displayed on modules
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8uBaaFobmj
This can be enabled in the theme panel, for specific modules
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-tag-on-modulesblocks/
If you have a different problem, please provide more details about the issue, so we can understand better.
Thanks
Hello,
We do not recommend using block elements on posts. They were never intended to be used on posts. On posts use the media library to add pictures.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please provide more details to what block or grid do you want to remove the gradient from. Every block that has text over an image has this gradient so you can read the text. Otherwise the text will not be very visible on bright images.
Thanks.
