Thanks, Chris S! My issues were with the “Single Image” and not with the blocks. No matter what preset size I choose(thumbnail, …full) the image was displayed the same way: cropped.
For editing content, is nothing, just blank space, you can’t write in it nothing.. I can’t deactivate visual composer, beacuse all pages are made with it.. and if i turn it off, the whole look of webpage will be awful..
Text block is missing, how to write contenct on homepage, i don’t have page made just with grids and block, i have a content written in text blocks, now i can’t do this anymore… how i can do this now??

In blocks and modules, images are cropped to fit the grid sizes, obviously… you cant fit square in rectangle. With featured image, the size inserted into a post template will fit the template size used, not the sizes you type into wordpress settings. If you insert images into posts or pages manually you can choose one of the preset sizes made by wordpress if different from size you actually uploaded. At least thats how it works on my sites.

Hi, guys!
Looks like i’m not first person, hwo is asking about this feature. 🙂
In real life it’s difficult to build user-oriented site witout CPT’s and CT’s, with Categories and Tags only. The world is slightly wider.
TD team provides nice support for CPT&CT in they Themes. I’ve installed the Types plugin, and CPT’s created by them was seamlessly integrated in Theme panel.
Left to do the next steps – Custom Taxonomy support in:
Block & Big Grid filters (admin pre-filters in TD-Builder)

Block headers (as Categories now)

Standart post settings (like in a CPT settings now)

i want to know which are the blocks used in newsmag default theme demo, with a visual representation
Hello, I’ve upgraded to Newspaper 8 then I re-create my front page with new tagDiv Composer. After that I noticed that Images are loaded very late in page. Now, the main problem is; when I turn on my Cache plug-in (which is WP Fastest Cache Premium) images doesn’t seem at all nowhere; front page, post page, widgets, blocks, slider literally nowhere. Now, what can you suggest me?
Hi everyone,
I am trying to integrate a new social network inside the social counter plugin. This social network is a minor one and does not have any api, so I don’t have to count the followers (I could set them manually like in the RSS feed one). While I have made some progress, I am still unable to have it show up in the widget. Here’s what I did:
1) Backend: td_social_counter.php
I added this to the array:
array(
"param_name" => "newwebsite",
"type" => "textfield",
"value" => 'Newwebsite',
"heading" => __("User Id", TD_THEME_NAME),
"description" => "",
"holder" => "div",
"class" => "tdc-textfield-big"
),
This works correctly
2) Backend: td_social_api.php
case 'newwebsite':
$td_data = td_remote_http::get_page("http://www.newwebsite.com/$user_id", __CLASS__);
break;
3) Frontend: td_block_social_counter.php
case 'newwebsite':
return array(
'button' => __td('Follow'),
'url' => "http://www.newwebsite.com/$user_id",
'text' => __td('Followers'),
'api' => $td_social_api->get_social_counter($service_id, $user_id, $access_token),
);
break;
4) CSS
I duplicated every -facebook class and changed it to -newwebsite. I tried t do this both on the child theme and on the main theme
The result is that nothing shows up on the widget 🙁 I amnot sure what I am missing so I hope you will be able to give me a pointer towards the right direction.
Thank you very much!
Two questions in one about Newspaper 8
Why the Theme custom CSS is so slow?
I mean, if I alter the padding, the font size or other elements, they only take effect after the page is loaded, what is frustrating as the reader “sees” the changes.
Child style.css issues seems not to be working
To avoid it, I’m writting the changes in the child theme style.css. But the changes don’t take effect, nothing happens.
Although my php files in the child theme work fine (header.php, functions.php and so on), style.css seems not to be working.
My child style.css:
/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 7 Child theme
Theme URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Description: Child theme made by tagDiv
Author: tagDiv
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Template: Newspaper
Version: 7.7c
*/
/* —————————————————————————-
This file will load automatically when the child theme is active. You can use it
for custom CSS.
*/
/* Increases the font size */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-page-content p, .td-post-content p, .wpb_text_column p, .td_block_text_with_title p, .woocommerce #tab-description p, .mce-content-body p, .td-page-content li, .td-post-content li, .wpb_text_column li, .td_block_text_with_title li, .woocommerce #tab-description li, .mce-content-body li {
font-size: 125%;
line-height: 26px;
}
}
/* Modify the header background color */
.td-banner-wrap-full {
background-color: #ab1b1b;
}
Could you replicate this issue?
Thanks,
Daniel
Hello chadsrl,
Please notice that the “Trending Now” is just a simple block which can be sorted by some filters, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/dy4BKZBLd1 For more information about this, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks.
Hi,
@Dmitry_Lupich If you mean the author name on the blocks and modules, you can disable it in the theme panel like shown in the screenshot, and it will not be displayed. The author name will appear normally on posts.
If you wanted something else please provide more details about this, and I will try to give you a solution.
Thanks
Hi Thanks for your quick reply.
When reading the links you given it seems hat those solutions are for showing block with different categories on the same page, and posts are assigned to both categories.
I don’t think it will help me here. In my case we only display one block with a selection of one category. When using “Load More”, posts from the same category get featured 2 or more times.
Shouldn’t the function be that if we want to display posts from 1 category with “Load More” you should be able to load all posts in the selected category. Now posts are showing 2 or more times…
Hope this helps to understand my issue.
Thanks
Hello amilson50,
You should use a block and sort it by most popular. Here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ you can see all the available filters which our theme has.
Thanks for the message!
Hello Brain916,
Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to choose for each thumb of your Big Grid to have different feature images, sorry! For more information about this setting, please check the Block Settings like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
There is a option to filter posts randomly as you can see here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
The element will display random posts from the category or categories set.
Thanks
Hi,
Try declaring the custom block in this file like the other blocks are
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AZArUxSjCB
It should show in the widgets section after you add it there, and you can use it as a widget. You will have to make the modification to main theme file in order to achieve this.
The td_config file is not supported by the child theme. You will have to make the modifications in the main theme file. Here you can see what files are supported for customization through the child theme

Hello, I’m using WP-Fastest-Cache as my cache plugin for many causes. But with the last update and replacement of composer plugin, I noticed something wrong. When the cache is on, images in blocks are not visible to vister. I sent an e-mail to author of cache plugin but I also wanted to inform you too.
On the side bar, I am stacking Block 13 and Block 7. Here is how it looks:
http://www.screencast.com/t/RqRFarfR7hvG
Now, I would like to remove the date. This would be for just those two Blocks and not on homepage articles etc. How can this be done?
Also I plan on having this a “popular” section which will display just random posts from the last 7 days. I want to know if there is a way to make sure, lets say the top spot is using one image/article that that the bottom 3 won’t also feature the same?
Same problem… I can’t create or drop block.
Can not create blocks tagDiv Composer on a new page.
I add the block and see an infinite rotation of the indicator. (screen https://redpen.io/sw6d0d1d1c7e459837 )
The VC Composer deactivated.
Hi there,
I would like to apply the same principle but for the mobile theme. What files do I have to edit to add <?php echo do_shortcode (‘[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1" tdc_css=""]‘); ?> for the mobile homepage?
Hi,
I have 2 questions:
1. We created a child theme and a custom block using the child theme
and td-api-plugin in your example files. Is it possible to use this
new custom block in a widget in the child theme? How can we set it up?
2. In the child theme can we define new Custom Styles for the TinyMCE
editor? In the parent theme we managed to define, but when we moved
the definition (td_config.php) to the child theme, the custom styles
disappeared.
Thanks,
Adam
Hi,
I see that there are excerpts displayed on your website
– https://www.screencast.com/t/c8ySdBQZegu
– https://www.screencast.com/t/K6eMQc8Fbf4
Please note that not all modules and blocks display the excerpt field. Here you can see how all the blocks look in different layouts

Hello,
In the Newspaper update tutorial it’s said “Do not keep older copies of the theme inside wordpress themes folder” , i also do the same by going cPanel file manager – removing the newspaper theme folder – then uploading the newer one (since via WordPress installation alerts “same theme already exist” if i try to update without deleting the existing theme (even deleting the theme from WP sometimes causes error, well that’s not the case) . . . I don’t like to use any external plugins (Envato Toolkit) just for theme update .
Problem i’m facing each time I’m deleting the existing theme folder & updating the newer theme , it requires “ACTIVATE THEME” again & again . . So I need to put purchase code on every newer update installation .
I’m afraid by this way for using multiple times purchase code/account/anything may get suspended .
So, just clarify me will anything (mentioned above) gets suspended/blocked if I use my above update method ? I’m having 2 wordpress sites where I use newspaper theme personally .
