Hi, my first post, just getting started 🙂
I’ve set up a child theme with the help of the child theme support documentation. I’ve copied over the suggested templates and folder structure. I’ve used child themes before but setting them up always takes time.
At the end of the child theme support documentation it refers to some php files which can be copied over to the child theme. It gives a couple of examples but what are the others?
“The wordpress templates which are not loaded by theme API, like archives.php, header.php, etc, have child theme standard support.”
Please tell me, does it include the following?
- 404.php
- category.php
- footer.php
- header.php
- search.php
- sidebar.php
- style.woocommerce.css
Hey, thanks for the instruction! Is this child-theme ready? Or must I doing the changes for every update?
Thanks! Simon
Hi
Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/ypdIUbipYe
.block-mega-child-cats a:first-child {
display: none;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
I upgraded to Version 3.0 and then my tagDiv social counter went almost completely white, and I can only see parts of the social media icons, nothing else. I tried to make a new sidebar but no matter what I do, the new sidebar doesn’t kick in. I am not using any child theme.
So: How can I make the tagDic social visible; how can I change sidebar?
I have cleared the cache.
Hi,
This will work from the child theme so you do not have to edit the original file. What I was mentioning above is that a child theme is not update proof. You still have to replace the file in the child theme if the main theme update will require replacing of the td_module_single.php file. (there is a list of modified files attached to the change log on themeforest for every update so you can inspect what files were changed. If td_module_single.php is on that list, then you need to replace it in the child theme as well and re-apply the modification)
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan,
I try to use your hack, I not sure to have well understanding the method and I’d like to be sure.
Is it supposed to work when copying td_module_single.php modified file in the child theme folder, or we actually must modify the original file ?
Thanks for your answer and sorry for the double explanation.
Hi
Make sure you have update the theme according with our documentation, also do a clean update without any changes in theme’s core and in theme child theme then test again.
Let us know if the issue is still there and we will do further investigations on this.
Thanks!
Hi,
1) The child theme needs to be re-created as well when switcvhing to newspaper 7. Please use the one provided with our theme and make sure you clear all caches whether it’s from a plugin, hosting or cdn as we have seen many reports of this double menu being caused by the old style.css from newspaper 6 being fed from cache.
2) The new mobile menu colors can be customized from here: http://screencast.com/t/VVbRzHbL0C
Note that if you use the new mobile theme, colors or other settings are done exclusively from the new mobile theme options panel here: http://screencast.com/t/J4qUVyUFVd3
As for the thick line, I tested our mobile theme on many devices that use ios but I could not find any lines. Please also test our demo on your device:

Thank you!
Hi
All files must be edited within main theme, not in child theme.
Thanks!
Hello Noxar,
For your first request, I suppose that you want to hide the Latest from the drop-down category filter. If you want to do that, you will have to use a bit of CSS code for achieving that. Try the code below ->
.td-category-header .td-pulldown-filter-display-option li:first-child {
display:none ;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/lmu4ULaDMZAO
So, please notice that the LATEST sorting when you enter on the category page it cannot be deleted because this is the default theme behaviour and cannot give up easily on this but only from the code and that involve custom work which we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!
For your second request, I suppose that you are reffering to the TagDiv Gallery Slide, right? So, I have noticed that you are using the RTL mode and the theme has not been designed to be used on this mode, sorry! Our theme do not support the RTL and also, we cannot provide support for this, because it involve to do a lot of additional customizations through code in order to achieve best results in this regard. For more inforamtion about our support policy, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/
If you want to disaplay more levels in our theme and you are not aware of the steps which you needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry! Usually, we reccommend the developers from studio.envato.com.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello! Just updated to the latest version (from 6 > 7). Most things seems to be working fine except from the Child Theme.
1. If i upload the child theme as it is (with only style.css and functions.php) the site gets an extra menu (just like in this post) and I get a double logo + some more small issues. Have tried disabeling my plugins to check if any of them is causing the issue, but it seems weird since no files are actually changed. Only thing happened is the child theme being loaded.
2. I was also wondering about the new mobile-menu. Is there any way to change the colors or anything with it? I also have an issue when using iOS that the X up in the right corner gets a thick white line behind it (imagine a .gif or .png image that is supposed to be transparent but isnt).
Hi,
Unfortunately the td_config file will not work from the child theme so you will have to make this modification in the main theme. There is no update proof method for customizing the theme files. Not even the child theme is update proof.
As for the second question, you can use css to reduce the size of the image. You can post a link to the block in question and I will provide the code for it.
Thanks.
Hi
We apologize for the late delay but we don’t work on weekends and also we’re sorry for any inconvenioces encountered after update..
The theme is tested and it works fine. Please make sure that you update the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, deactivate the child theme if you’re using, clear all caches, purge all cdn files if you’re using then test again. Also if you have any custom code in theme panel > custom code> custom css filed make sure it won’t affect page’s layout.
If with previous version a custom co worked fine this may not be the case with a new version. Theme’s style has been changed a lot and any custom code can create issues or may not work at all.
@alintiniuc thank you for your tip. Any changes made in theme’s files will be lost during update process because old files are deleted and new ones are uploaded instead.
Thanks!
Hi,
How can i remove (deregister) the default style.css file of the Main AND the Child theme? I will use a custom stylsheet and do not need both style.css files.
a function for the functions.php for example would be awesome
thanks
I’m not an employee for tagdiv but here is some advice.
It’s a lot better that you use the “custom css” code in the theme panel when changing the style css of the website or use a child theme and call the css from there because that will never effect their updates.
Never edit the Style CSS directly on the theme because it will always over right when they make an update with the style sheet.
Until they reply with a better fix here is the code I used because I ran into the same problem.
.td-post-template-3 .td-post-featured-image:after {
width: auto;
}
Put that code in your custom CSS or Child Theme CSS. It leaves just a couple pixels to the right but its a lot better than what it was.
Thanks for that. Can’t believe I forgot about the block settings. However, I turned off the thumbnail for the size I wanted the full image to replace, then I regenerated the thumbnails, but the full size image still won’t appear in the thumbnail’s place–I get an image placeholder that reads “Enable thumb from Theme Panel –> Block Settings”. I also deleted the cache and nothing seems to work.
When I inspect the code, it looks like the site is still trying to pull the thumbnail instead of using the full image.
EDIT: So, when I switched back on the thumb on block setting, the full image appeared in place of the thumb. Because I’m certain I’ll be regenerating thumbnails frequently (still building the site), I went ahead and altered the size of that particular generated thumbnail in the td_config.php file. My question about that is this: I’m using a child theme, but edited the parent version of the td_config.php file–how should I go about setting it up so that my changes don’t get wiped out upon theme update? Should I place a copy of the td_config.php file in my Child theme folder? Thanks!

Hi
Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/tfC2mh2i2MKd
.sf-menu .td-normal-menu:first-child > ul {
top: 40px;
}
Thanks!
I did the update today and I’m having quite a few issues after the update.
I’ve completely deleted the theme and child theme folders and made sure the upload is a clean upload of the files to the FTP server, but still seeing errors.
1) The top header initially shows as blue and then changes to the correct color, orange. This never happened before and happens every time I refresh any page.
2) The events pages (http://mauimagazine.net/maui-events/) show a style problem where the text is squeezed and shows a big gap on the right side, making the whole page look long and bad. I have tested deactivating all other plugins and can see the problem is not a conflict among plugins.
3) My customizations to my child theme do not see to be showing properly – custom title tags for events pages generated by The Events Calendar Pro.
4) I tried using the mobile template plugin and it causes a whole bunch of errors. On the new mobile template, none of any page content shows. Just the footer content shows. And the events calendar page does not load any listings and gives this error message: nothing loading: wp booster error: td_module: td_module_mob1($post is not WP_Post
If 2 & 3 require me to get support from the premium plugin, I will go there. Since the theme change caused this problem today, I’m pretty sure it’s the theme code, not the plugin itself.
I already emailed support directly with my license code and login info, but I appreciate a reply or response to this and a followup via email.
Thank you.
Hey,
Yeah,everything seems to be working now. I actually had updated to V3, but since I used child theme I was not using the latest footer and header files. Now I do and its working fine.
Hello,
We will investigate this further and fix it in the next version of the theme. If adding the style.css file in the child theme works, please use this method until we are able to fix the issues.
Thank you
I’m using a brand new install with the out of the box parent and child theme so no custom code. If I use an IE9 emulator like the Developer Tools provided with IE, the child theme displays fine. (Using just the parent theme, everything also looks good in IE9.) However, using the child theme on an actual IE9 browser on a Windows 7 machine is where I see the problems. Others users in my organization are seeing this, too, so I don’t think it’s due to anything funky with my browser/OS setup. If I copy over the styles from the parent to the child theme style.css, then that seems to fix the display problems in IE9.
Mobile menu always open: http://www.screencast.com/t/GEpFDsHOayQS
Modal login always appears at top, icon fonts drop out, horizontal list styles lost: http://www.screencast.com/t/IgsGl9detJec
Thanks you!
