Catalin,
Thanks for your reply. I believe that I have placed Big Grid-1 as you demonstrated. What my issue is that my sidebar content that was placed to the right of Block 9 content has pushed down the Block 3 content that is supposed be directly under Block 9.

Please see images above for the example.

Hello soheyla,
Also, please notice that each block uses a specific thumb which crops the each featured image from your posts.
Please take a look over the below explanation and try to understand a bit how it works the thumbs in the theme. Please check here ->>
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size utilized by the theme. When a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image shown is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate. For more information about these kinds of plugins, please consult their documentation here -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ Also, please ensure that the functionalities of these plugins are not affected by the other untested plugins that could create interference through the theme. Please notice that these types of plugins are not tested with our theme and we cannot provide support for the theme. We recommend them because a lot of our customer uses and they were satisfied to their functionality.
A primary example you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/rhIdwe22d2
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Since upgrading to Newspaper 8.0 I am receiving mixed content warnings in my SSL. After going to the console it is the following that is causing the problem:
style.css Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

Is this an error with the latest update? As before I updated I didn’t have this issue.
If it isn’t an error how would I go about fixing this? I’m unable to find these specific links in my theme files.
Thank you.

Hey guys,
I’ve been using your theme for a while now and yesterday a reader contacted me because he can’t print any article. It only throws him a blank page out so he is really unable to print or save the article.
I checked that in serveral browsers and yes – the page stays blank/only shows a grey block.
Can you help me out?
thank you so much!
Hi,
Maybe you are not creating the page or sticky sidebar properly. In this example I have first added a Big grid on a page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Lr1gWzrW
Then I have added a new row and choose the needed row layout
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qoF4MRUY
– https://www.screencast.com/t/yIZtJKEz
Placed some content in the resulting columns
– https://www.screencast.com/t/CEnOTIHCWm1B
In order for the sidebar block to be sticky you now need to add the class to the sidebar row, like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2vMzetdxwD
This is mentioned in the last section of this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Please let me know if you have any more questions or need further help.
Thanks
Hi there. Is there an option to exclude the current viewed post (on single view) from the recent post widget on the sidebar? P.S: the widget is a simple block filtering for all categories.
Thank You.
Hello MitchyBoy,
Do you are referring to these headings from each block -> https://www.screencast.com/t/5Htij6UJ4? Notice that here is talking about block title which can be edit from Block Settings, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/hEBdc2sj If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Sorry but blocks were built to pull specific information from posts and the byline is not among the information grabbed on blocks. It will need a custom function to grab other info besides the one already implemented. Unfortunately we cannot offer a quick solution in this regard. Sorry
Thanks.
Блок №9 позволяет вывести заголовки статей в одну колонку: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-9/ без картинок.
В нём можно скрыть имя автора, количество комментариев и дату публикации.
Hello,
re2: Please make sure you upload the full image and not a thumbnail of it in the media library. Also please check the aspect ratio of the image. it needs to be ultra wide for it to display properly in the row. Try a size of 1920 x 815 for instance
re5: Well since it’s a page created in the page builder, you can put the text block on top of the map by simple drag and drop. Either drag the text block above the map or drag the map below the text…the page builder lets you do that.
Thank you!
Bogdon,
I just paid for AdRotate and that may be what is blocking my post types from appearing. However – I may not need to use ad rotate at all if there is a way to take Google DFP code and implement it into the spots that are built in.
I see info that states that Google AdSense works – will google DFP Coding?
Thanks
Missing something obvious here, I’m sure – I’ve downloaded the sample td-api-plugin files and placed that folder in the plugins folder. I can’t find, though, anywhere to activate block77 so that I can use it in TD composer.
What have I missed?
I have updated to Newspaper 8 and am in the process of editing all the pages on my site with the TD Composer. A little extra unexpected work but no big deal. The problem I have is with all my posts, they are all ruined. I have extra content like podcast episode players, t-shirt images and slideshows, revolution slider elements, image gallerys, extra TD-blocks for other posts and categories; and none of these can be customised using Visual Composer because anything that is in the main post is HIDDEN by the sidebar! The main content of the post sits under the sidebar and is all measured incorrectly! I have tried removing the sidebar completely and you can see the entire post but this is obviously not an option! Surely you guys can add this functionality to the theme? The VC elements still work, they are just measured incorrectly on the page! If I could reduce the main content by 30% it would probably fit! Any ideas or suggestions?
Hello,
I’m trying to configure the post settings to display the custom byline inside of a block on a page (ex. block 21) instead of the author (the same person who uploads all posts) – the bylines are filled out in the posts but not displaying. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi,
I can’t seem to find how to change the settings for the “More Stories” slide in that comes in on the right hand side after you scroll down the page a ways. I inspected the page and the code is in a dive that starts with – <div class=”td-more-articles-box td-front-end-display-block”> –
To see it you can look here – http://www.ncwlife.com/body-missing-mercer-island-man-found-enchantments/
I’m thinking there must be a way through the admin to change settings for this rather than edit a template.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
Hi Catalin – when I say animation – I mean a mouseover effect, so a gif won’t help! Some of the other blocks have a css hover effect, I’d like to add that to the blocks I’m using – is there an existing class I can add?
Hi,
Those elements are predefined and are displayed when selecting Footer template style 1
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
The Editor picks and Popular posts are created using Block 7
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-7/
The Popular category is a simple widget
– https://www.screencast.com/t/4IaBixDB5
Other footer templates are blank, and require you to add widgets in the respective footer sections
– https://www.screencast.com/t/hIAE4qQAt9u
That is where you can add widgets to the sidebars you have created as well.
Thanks
Hello devraj1986,
There is an option for it in Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/toK4H0wA and for modules/blocks you can do this from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/NEmtMgsC9B
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I have few common page speed issues on my website. I am using w3total cache plugin and tag-speed-booster plugin but still google page speed tool shows few problems like Leverage browser caching, Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content, Minify CSS, Enable compression, Minify JavaScript and Minify HTML.
So kindly guide me how to fix this issues with proper code.
Hi,
The infinite loading pagination is available only for blocks
– https://www.screencast.com/t/9sBbunsx3Vd
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
And as a global or per category setting for the category pages
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NEiot8clnX
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
If you are not using the mobile theme plugin, the same content that you have on desktop will be displayed on mobile devices as well. When the mobile theme is enabled, this comes with predefined layouts for the homepage, post page etc. More information here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thanks
Hello Szentmaxi,
Sorry for my bad understanding! I guess that you are referring to the Excerpts, right? So, please notice that our theme has an option for it in Theme panel->Excerpts section from where you can choose the length of the Excerpts feature, according to modules/block used by you, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-excerpts-introduction/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello vasik,
I have inspected your website and I saw that for FireFOx browser the Header add disappears. Also, I have noticed that on your header wrap is applied an unknown class which has a rule with display: none, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Zs9JI0XNfJt7 You can try using the below code and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area, clear all the caches and check the results.
.td-header-ad-wrap{
display:block!important;
}
Also, if you are using some untested plugins (for emoji for example) please try to disable all of them, leave just only our tested plugins to be active, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Sorry but blocks were not designed to pull the category description. It will have to be made custom. The category description is added here in our theme: https://www.screencast.com/t/2HCxsnz0
You can try to replicate the function on blocks if you have the proper coding skills.
Thanks.
I have the big grid full and then 3 columns of blocks of articles on my homepage, really like it, but need to make the images animated to give the visitor some feedback, i.e. show that it is clickable. Some of the other blocks have this in a ‘zooming’ animation which works, can I add this to the blocks I’m using?
Could code something myself, but would rather make use of the theme if poss.
Thanks!
