If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
If the issue is still there afterwards, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate. You will need top leave the error visible so we can debug it if needed.
Thank you!
Hi,
It seems that you have some custom classes appearing in the page structure
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wmONRDFG8ul7 and the elements on the page are being affected by these. Please check and remove any custom code you might have entered in theme panel, or added to the theme files. Deactivate the child theme if you are using one. Also try as a test to remove the header ad code, deactivate all your plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed and check if this has any effect.
Thanks
Hello,
If the sorting is the same, then the same results should be visible on both the homepage and the category page.
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hello Lewis,
Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Hi,
You could create a child theme and modify the blocks that you want there. So then when you update the theme you will not lose any modifications for the blocks. Here is a guide if you want to use a child theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Please use the steps mentioned there to create a directory structure similar to the theme, copy the blocks that you want, make your customization then activate the child theme.
Thanks
Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer and revolution slider, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
This is a weird issue indeed. Please check the Visual composer settings, it should be like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1PccALD7
Also maybe a plugin could be interfering with Visual composer, please try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed and check again. On a default theme with the latest version using only the plugins provided, I can confirm the option is present. You could check any modifications you have made to the theme, or a child theme if you are using one.
Thanks
Hello
How to install childe theme? and what is the file path?
Thanks
I’ll try to give more details. 🙂 English is not my native language so bear with me here.
I’m a theme/plugin developer myself. I do lots of WordPress jobs for my customers. I understand child theme concept very well. No problems there, I assure you.
What I’m suggesting is, “you”, as tagDiv, could you please add filters to your internal functions? I’ll try to explain with an example.
There are 14 different (13 + default) single post styles in Newspaper theme. All of them have this line for author box;
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
This is great, so if I want to change author box, I can copy td_module_single_base.php from /includes/wp_booster/ to my child theme with the same folder structure and do necessary modifications. And voila, all of the author boxes are updated. But (there is a huge but here) now I have to inspect every changelog that if td_module_single_base.php file changed or not during version bumps. And I had to copy a whole file despite I want to change only one function.
Here comes my solution; Filters
If tagDiv could apply filters just before returning that cuddly $buffy, developers can add a hook to that filter and without copying whole td_module_single_base.php file, they can change the output of get_author_box() function.
I hope this time I explained my self much better. 🙂 Thanks for your responses.
Hello
I have tested the tabs again but as expected, found no issues.
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
The whole purpose of having a child theme is to not lose your main theme customization by updating. If these modifications are not working anymore after a theme update, the code used needs to be checked and adapted.
If you would kindly provide more details about what your suggestion, and the improvements it may add to the theme we will take it into consideration.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
This is what I am seeing when hovering the Big grid – https://www.screencast.com/t/Dc5f1fiaF
There is no more zooming effect on hover for the image. Only a slight gradient effect is present. If you would like to remove this gradient as well and have a simple image without any modifications, you can try this code that must be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css – https://www.screencast.com/t/ONloT2Zi27O
.td-grid-style-1.td-hover-1
.td-module-thumb a:last-child:before {
display: none;
}
Thanks
Hello,
Sorry but td_config will not work from the child theme. You will have to edit it in the main theme.
Our blocks were not built to work with a custom taxonomy. There is no code I can provide to make our theme blocks work with a custom taxonomy.
Sorry but I cannot provide a solution as the re is no simple code you can add. It will need custom modification made by a developer. I suggest hiring a freelancer to help out with this modification as the theme support does not cover custom modifications.
Thank you!

Thanks for replay
I am using Newspaper-child theme
Question 1. Can I copy includes/td_config.php file from Newspaper theme to Newspaper-child theme?
Question 2. I created custom taxonomy by register_taxonomy function. Suppose my taxonomy name is “testing” now I want to add “testing” taxonomy in Block filter setting as same as Category filter:
Please send me example code for “testing”?
Question 3. I want to display all posts as per this setting. Please guide me how many files I need to update for that?

Hi,
The theme works properly by default and this issue is not present. Try to think about what modifications have been made to the theme files, or maybe custom code in theme panel. Also deactivate the child theme if you are using one. Almost all the time plugins are to blame for these kind of image problems, and the solution is to find the responsible one. You can also clear any caching installed after you deactivate the plugins.
Try inspecting the page using the browser inspector to see if there are any errors in the console. Maybe this will provide a clue to why this is happening.
Thanks
Hi,
Almost in every case plugins are to blame. I have tested your website on iphone and I see the problem. On Android phones using Chrome browser it displays properly. I would suggest as a test, to disable all the plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed, deactivate the child theme if you are using one and check again. Also make sure you have updated all the plugins provided in the theme package and you are using. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hello,
That is an entirely different matter and it will not work at all from the child theme. The child theme support is limited in our theme and only these files will work properly from the child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/
The content metaboxes in the theme panel are not on the list of files compatible with the child theme.
The panel options are added in wp-booster->wp-admin->panel https://www.screencast.com/t/poymAV6Dr
These files will not work from the child theme.
Thank you!
Is it possible to add apply_filters to internal functions like get_author() and etc.? This way we can do small modifications without copying the template files to child theme.
For example (Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php:L65):
//$show_stars_on_review - not used
function get_author() {
$buffy = '';
if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_author_name') != 'hide') {
$buffy .= '<div class="td-post-author-name"><div class="td-author-by">' . __td('By', TD_THEME_NAME) . '</div> ';
$buffy .= '<a>post->post_author) . '">' . get_the_author_meta('display_name', $this->post->post_author) . '</a>' ;
if (td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_author_name') != 'hide' and td_util::get_option('tds_p_show_date') != 'hide') {
$buffy .= '<div class="td-author-line"> - </div> ';
}
$buffy .= '</div>';
}
return apply_filters( 'td_filters_get_author', $buffy );
}
Thank you but it doesn’t work anymore.
> The memory allocation is up to 64M

Right now there’s no waiting wheel, but VC doesn’t display any layout.
What to do now???
here’s a printscreen:

Hi,
From what I understand you are not seeing any of your created sidebars in the widgets section
– https://www.screencast.com/t/GMjQc8mSFg7N
And missing most or the available widgets
– https://www.screencast.com/t/FpZNOlCAxMru
Maybe a plugin could be causing this weird issue, you can try to disable all of them except Visual composer, clear any caching installed then check to see if the problem is still there. Also check any customization that might have been made to the theme files directly, or through a child theme. Try to think when was the first time this has happened and possibly identify the cause. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi,
@sunnysider Maybe something went wrong doing the installation process, if no files of the theme have been modified and deactivating all the plugins do not fix this issue. It seems that some of the elements on the page are not functioning properly. Maybe you have some custom code entered in theme panel, added to the theme files or through a child theme. I have not seen this issue before, and this is not happening on a default theme or a clean install.
You could try a clean install using this method – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ and use only the plugins provided in the theme package to see if this solves the problem as it should. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
I want do this in Child Theme:
I created the structure of folders and files, as I wrote above and added the code in td_config.php in Child Theme. But nothing happened.
I did not find the answer to my question https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
The memory allocation should be like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know if you still have trouble with this.
Thank you!
Hi,
You will have to enter the code in the child theme functions.php file, if you have the child theme activated
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ezIoeMuwKq
The child theme is provided in the theme package, more information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thanks
