I use child theme
Hi,
1. In order to lower the height of the Smart Snap Header you need to use a custom css or you can use the header manager and build the header how you want.
2. I’ve checked the page menu and this is working normally -> https://www.screencast.com/t/GMvZ576y6D
Please make sure that the tagDiv Composer https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-page-builder-basics/ is activate and you do not have a plugin conflict with untested plugins, please deactivate all non theme, also if you are using child theme, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you!
Hi,
Before the 9.7 update is was possible to use one of the theme single templates for CPTs, in a child theme, and also customize them if needed. But after the latest updates when most of the theme files were moved in the composer plugin, that is not possible anymore. They will use the default post template, these are the files – http://prntscr.com/o474xu – http://prntscr.com/o4752p
Having them displayed with a different post template is not possible with theme settings at the moment. Maybe an option or a new solution will be provided in the future, can’t say for sure. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
How can I customize the single post template? Does it not work in the child theme anymore as well?
Hi tagdiv community..
I was just wondering with all the recent changes with theme, is it no longer required to use a child theme.
Before recent updates, I was using child theme on my site but have noticed today that it has switched to Newspaper them and the child theme is now inactive.
Any info on this would be much appreciated.
Rhys
Glad to hear that it was useful for someone!
I posted the piece of code on my blog

If this is still not working please try this custom css
https://www.screencast.com/t/xF7kctwfia
.td-module-comments {
right: 0;
position: fixed;
}
.td_module_17 .td-module-comments a {
color: #fff;
background-color: #000!important;
}
.td_module_17 .td-module-comments a:after {
border-color: #000 transparent transparent transparent!important;
}
Set the code in Theme panel>Custom code>Custom css
Thank you!
Thanks, Calin, for clarifying — in my case my work-around is to add the script and link-tags into Newspaper’s theme panel section for Google Analytics / script code. I am happy that also link tags work in that section and aren’t filtered out.
Suggestion: May be that section title should be not specific to Google Analytics?: may be something like “Script, meta, link etc tags for the head section”? And for the footer area, of course.
Not that I have need right now for changing more in the header php file… but would there be a way to do so in the future? How does Envato’s requirement go along with WP child theme concept?
Thanks
Frank
Hi,
Now is not longer need to set the code in header.php, now you can set the code directly in theme panel in analytics/js codes -> https://www.screencast.com/t/aVNquOI0dsU

Hi,
@Sonjita The functionality is still the same. Excerpts are displayed in modules, in the post page the subtitle will be displayed. So you can use the subtitle field to display a chosen text in the post pages.
The solution from above will require modifications to the post templates, which after the latest updates are located in the tagDiv composer plugin. This means that they can’t be modified in a child theme anymore, only directly. The modifications will be lost after a theme update, the plugins have to be updated as well.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Most of the theme files were moved into the tagdiv composer plugin as per the requirements of envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css as there are very few files left in the main theme as envato requires all functionality to be added through plugins.

Hi,
I am using newspaper v 9.7.3 and I added some script in <head> section in header.php to use google japanese font like…
<link href=”https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Serif+JP” rel=”stylesheet”>
In the newspaper v 9.7.2, it was working. But v 9.7.3, it is not loaded.
May be I have a same problem with forum number #301415
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/v9-7-3-with-child-theme-modified-header-php-from-child-theme-not-loaded/
What should I do to activate the script in <head> section?
My purpose is to use Google Font Japanese. So, if there is other way to use it, it will be helpful if you teach me how.
Thank you.
Hi,
issue: my child HEADER.php seems not to be loaded
I am using newspaper v 9.7.3 and the child theme. I copied the theme’s HEADER.php to the child theme folder.
Then I added some stuff in the <head> section, just scripts and links.
In the previous version all worked, but since the update from 9.7.2. to 9.7.3 my child HEADER.php seems not to be loaded.
My script and links do not appear when the page is rendered.
Maybe because of the first few lines in that header file?:
php code in the first few lines:
do_action(‘tdc_header’)
if (has_action (‘tdc_header’)){return}
If I delete that code … my modified header file is apparently loaded … but the page is not rendered correctly any more (e.g. the logo is missing). So, I am stuck here.
What does that php code do? First registering an action and then returning if it is registered? Maybe something to look into?
HAS ANYBODY used the child theme with a modified header.php file.
Best regards
Frank
In fact I am using the “Child Theme”.
Please, let me know when they have the issue resolved.
Is there any workaround fix?
Thank you very much for your time
Hello !
Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you !

There should be underline the current menu item and the one that is hover with the mouse.
If there is still a problem, please provide me a link were I can inspect this.
Thank you!
Hi,
That will not work anymore. When the composer is active the theme will use a different header, this one – http://prntscr.com/o3ekyo this file can’t be modified in a child theme.
If you want to load a script in the header, you could use the analytics section
– http://prntscr.com/o3elx0
Code entered in the theme panel will be saved in the database, so it is safe to add it there.
Thanks
