Hi, I have some questions.
1. I am using Block21 and I would like to select retina display option for thumbnails in theme panel.
But there is no option for block 21 in theme panel. How could I set for that?
2. I am using Header style10 but I do not need the shadow under the menu bar. How could I delete it?
3. Is it possible to change experpt words depends on display size? I mean more specific.
For example Block11. If I change to smaller display size, the Block’s height will change.
Because thumbnails will be smaller and experts’s height will change to 1 paragraph to 2 paragraphs.
I don’t want to break my design that I make for normal display size when I change to smaller display size.
If I set experpts depends on height and width in item box, that would be wonderful.
I am so sorry for my bad explanation.
Thanks,
I am encountering a problem with the custom ads.
I have placed custom ads on a test page, but only Custom_ad_4 is displaying.
The other ad blocks are blank.
All ads contain the same HTML code and all are placed withing the same row and column and all ad settings are consistent.
Is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks
Hi,
I do not know exactly what needs to be done to achieve something like that. The Visual composer plugin is very complex, and no solution was provided before for this. Also the theme does not have an option to support this implementation. It would be best to try and use the default options for the blocks, because they already have settings to help you sort and filter the content that is displayed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
You just need to enter one or more post or page Id’s and the block will display them only, until you change the entered data or remove this condition. This is useful when you want to display particular posts in a block or big grid, always.
Thanks
Hello matej.jahnatek,
If you are talking about excerpts, notice that all of these appears only on blocks in homepage and if you want to handle the length of them you can do it from Theme panel, according to your blocks used by you, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/rxcoQWors Notice that the subtitle is not the same thing with the Excerpts. If you want to add some additional subtitles for your posts you can do it from each post from post editor, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6FRtq4T24
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If you would like to move the title on that block module, you need to edit the module file. There is no option by default to make a modification like that. Each module is predefined and has it’s own style. The file you must edit is this – https://www.screencast.com/t/8ciOaazxZ01H
There you have to move the line of code responsible for the title like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dCArpZi8
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SqXZ3RVxK1t
With a result like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/32z1mgdrEXIi
If you would like to achieve a full width layout, you can use the full grids available. You can see these here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2vgYoZAIX
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/grid-full-10/
Also when creating a page with Visual composer it is required to use only this layout
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Other layout settings for the rows may not work properly, the elements should be used on the recommended column settings.
Thanks
Hello Cilene,
If you want to do this, you should use a bit of CSS code. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Cusotm CSS area.
The code is ->
body .block-title span{
background-color:green!important;
color:white!important;
}
This is a general code which can influence your entire website. For more information about how you can create your custom CSS rule using the web inspector browser you should check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin, is there any easy way in order to show that subtitles in any block in the sidebar?
Hi,
The post filter on the blocks works by entering specific post Id’s in the required field. This must be done manually by identifying the post Id and entering it. There is no option to have an autocomplete function for the field. If you want to implement something like this it would probably need modifications to the plugin, and that would not be an easy task.
Thanks
Hi!!
Ok, awesome theme and working each day to give a nice shape to our blog 🙂
After trying to understand about the excerpts, I think that I need some help from you guys.
I’ve been trying to find out which blocks I’m using to then go to the chapter “excerpts” and modify it there but I don’t understand which blocks I have. We normally work with post style 2.
We would like to make just the subtitle shorter… any ideas?
Thanks in advanced for help and sorry if I already ask something that was in the forum before
Hi,
You can see the page structure and the elements that are contained, by opening your page in the Visual composer editor – https://www.screencast.com/t/H1psqxKFJ0QD
There you can make changes like adding, editing or removing page building elements. Here you can find all the available settings and options for blocks – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
If you mean the ad box you can remove it from there.
Thanks
Hi,
Each demo has it’s own style that is custom made for it. However it is entirely possible to recreate it.
The homepage is a a page created in Visual composer with the following elements that you mention
The Must read section is block 5 on a full row
– https://www.screencast.com/t/kXGPxTa3
The Fashion section is block 11 on 2 columns
– https://www.screencast.com/t/OXy1v5Yki8HQ
The Latest articles is block 9 on 2 columns
– https://www.screencast.com/t/42gPr5neIZRm
All the font properties for these elements can be modified as well, in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/font-customization/
You can see all the available blocks in different layouts here
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
You can use the browser inspector tool to identify the elements used on the page. Here is a guide to help you

Hello,
The best image to use is a full hd image of 1920 x 1080 as the theme creates thumbnails for each case in particular and the full size will not be used on the site except when accessing the image itself.
There is no best or worst aspect ratio as the theme creates thumbs if the image is large enough as there is a cropping system that will get the size it needs for the thumb from your image. The main issue is the size. In order to prevent the spaces for the images, you need to have a featured image larger than the container in the grid. The theme crops images but it does not enlarge them. If your images are bigger than the container, you probably did not regenerate the thumbnails. You can use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hello,
This is actually a WordPress trick. Our theme only uses the date from WordPress on it’s modules and blocks but you can add the time to the date code as well. You can add the time in the custom date setting like so: F j, Y, g:i A : http://screencast.com/t/vkDY3VK2o and now you will have something like this: http://screencast.com/t/xbt8qgRy7k6s
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
that change will also affect the homepage modules and blocks unless you do not use theme elements in your homepage. Please provide an example where the heading tag did not change. Provide a link to your site so I can inspect the homepage.
Thanks.
Hi,
You can create the layout you want using the available elements from Visual composer. Here you can see all the available blocks and big grids that you can be used
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
With these and many more you can create unique designs for your website. Please also take a look at the theme demo’s which demonstrate the capabilities of the theme and what can be achieved through it

– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thanks
Hi,
The Visual composer editor is an important part of the theme, with it you can create unique page design using the featured blocks, grids and other elements. This editor is one of the key advantages of the theme providing many customization possibilities. If you choose not to use it this will limit capabilities in this regard. You can use the theme without Visual composer, but with limited customization options.
Thanks
Hi,
For example, if i choose “Block 3” element from Visual Composer, in the “Filter” tab, i would like to change the “Post ID filter” field to support autocomplete function. Please advise which folder/files i need to do the modification.
Refer this image link of what i want to achieve.

This is a dumb question and I apologize in advance how do I go about removing the adblocks in this picture?
Thanks.
Hello. What is the best size and or aspect ratio to use for Featured Images so that you don’t end up with blank space in the blocks? See here: https://www.evernote.com/l/ADHfmKn6Xb5HcZsBFhiV5qm9QhYn4_TZqlU
Similarly — using a 3-column layout, I can change the column widths to get
[1/4 1/2 1/4]
But when I put a block in the center column, it still renders for 1-col width. Is there a code change I can do to allow the center block to fill the full space?
Is it possible to center these boxes, for example could I center Block 13 in a column of a “stretch row and content” row? Right now it aligns left .
thanks. I’ll try that. I was wondering if there was some kind of built in way to link to a certain visual composure text block on the page.
Okay, we found the answer now – it actually popped up after posting our question, in the page of related posts:
The author can also be disabled on modules/blocks if that is what you need

I have all the thumbnail proportions active in the theme settings and have regenerated all thumbnails as suggested but I am still a bit confused about why certain block/column configuration are producing unexpected results. (Thumbnail does not fill column) In the current row I have a 1/4+1/2+1/4 column arrangement—are only certain Block templates compatible?
