Hi
could you please tell how to let “commenting out some parts of style.css” work on child theme ‘s style.css?
I know how to add but wonder how to remove? such as your how to here
http://screencast.com/t/wNB9k9OSXwL2
Hello,
It will work from the child theme. Just copy the file in your child theme folder, although you create a new custom file for this blank page. This will not be rewritten by the update as it does not originate from the theme.
Thank you!
Oh question before I forget, can we somehow make these changes using a Child Theme, so that each time NewsPaper updates we wouldn’t have to go back in and paste the lines of code? Or must we always do it in the main file folder?
We’re wanting to use http://fb.creoworx.com/essb/ as our social sharing feature on our site. Doesn’t appear to be compatible or its conflicting with default sharing plugin included with the theme.
We are making a child theme integration of our design.
How can I disable the social share used by the theme to use ESSB instead?
Hello,
If it worked previously, it means that some change to your website makes it not respond anymore. You maybe update your theme and a file you are trying to modify got changed. In this case the file must be replaced with the new one.
Maybe you installed a plugin that interferes with the child theme somehow. Try it without any plugins as well.
Make sure you use the child theme that comes with the theme and follow this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Please keep in mind that not all files can be used via the child theme.
Thank you!
My child theme had been working perfectly, but recently any changes to the child theme does not override the parent theme. The child theme is activated and has worked previously. What could be the problem and how can I fix this?
All good here – combination of reinstall of theme via FTP and addressing issue with child theme has resolved.
Hi
The only way to display the indicated link on mobile is to add it as an item in main menu. To avoid duplications on desktop you can add this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css:
@media(min-width: 768px){
.td-header-wrap .td-header-menu-wrap .sf-menu > li:last-child {
display: none! important;
}
}
This css will work only if you add the link as last item of the main menu. If you chose a different position for it the selectors will change to something like this:
@media(min-width: 768px){
.td-header-wrap .td-header-menu-wrap .sf-menu > li:nth-child(x) {
display: none! important;
}
}
where x is the position of the item in menu.
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hello ultraluxury,
The mega-menu is an complex feature on our theme that displays a category and subcategory, as you can see in our demo, like this: http://screencast.com/t/myjyjwRdDHj . If you want to add “Cars” as child of “Lifestyle” you should make the “Cars” as subcategory, like this example: http://screencast.com/t/F9tZs1a0j .
The result you should see here:http://screencast.com/t/Of4EYgXt
For more information about mega-menu, you can consult our documentation, here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/mega-menu/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about this so i can be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hello,
I have inspected your website and saw that custom css is being applied from the theme panel:
http://screencast.com/t/NYpP7aAS the code is being rewritten with code from your theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/4mykZlG108e
As for the child theme, please follow this tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ those are the only files that work from the child theme at the moment.
Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you.
Unfortunately child theme also not working. What can I do?
Thank you!
@awtown We’re sorry for the confusion. The css include method has been change in theme’s version 2.0 and this change was mentioned in theme’s update log: http://screencast.com/t/wCnxUL0dfyeo and in child theme’s documentation also: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/ Please just follow my instructions on this and if you still can’t manage it address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this and assist you on this.
Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunately the woocommerce files do not work with the child theme. Here is a list of files truculently supported by the child theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
As the documentation suggests we try to improve our child theme support with every update. We hope in a future version we can implement more child theme support with our themes.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello,
1) and 2) You can change the size of the thumbnail for different blocks/modules from here: http://screencast.com/t/Iei8sdmyw
You can see where the thumb size is used in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/Ko9yHuFtqoWQ
After you change a thumb size, please make sure you regenerate your thumbnails otherwise the modification will not apply.
3) You can make your modification “update proof” by using a child theme https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/, but this is not entirely update proof because if the file you use in your child theme gets changed in a future version of the theme, you will have to adjust it to the new file. There is no modification that will be entirely update proof.
4) Unfortunately we cannot offer custom work, not even paid one at the moment. You can hire a freelancer to make the customization you need from sites like studio.envato.com.
Thank you!
Hi,
I don’t understand why, but it looks like the template used to display products on my website is the original placed in woocommerce plugin folder and not the one in my child theme, neither the one in Newspaper.
Any idea ?
Thanks !
Hi
The only way is to alter the parent theme file as the td_module.php can’t be overwritten from child theme that’s why the changes don’t applies. You can check the files which can be overwritten with child theme in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Sorry for inconvenience!
Thanks
Just read you last post awtown about child theme being updated but it does not need to be. It is the theme that needs the update, not the child theme. Child theme is the same every theme update. Consists of functions.php and the css file.
If you are using the child theme then do the ftp overwriting the old theme with newer version way. You don’t have to delete the theme at all just unzip the new folder package and unzip theme folder and make sure you just upload the unzipped folder of the name with all the files of theme right over the older one on your server. It will just overwrite what is on your server.
Really, it is that easy. You don’t even have to deactivate the child theme this way either.
I can also agree that updates were easy enough for me to do too. No complications at all. Not saying you are wrong the one that says used WordPress for like 15 years but updating the theme is not that hard. I even used both methods with dashboard and ftp and they work just fine either way. I did not even update the plugins from v2.2 to v2.3 and v2.3.1. Nothing gave me issues. Last two times updating. I just uploaded the folder of new version, overwriting the older via ftp and it works just fine as before, and I am not even using the child theme.
All my modifications are in the custom code section of themepanel. That does just as good as using a child theme to me. This is one of the best and simplest updates with this theme as possible and I had no hiccups yet with it.
I should not say no plugins were updated. Visual Composer was updated every time they gave a new update to the plugin with theme update. I don’t use Revolution Slider because that is one hard to use plugin for just a slider. Way too many options on it. So the only plugin I updated was Visual Composer and I kept the Social Counter the same and still was fine with no errors.

Thank you – that definitely helps, however, how can I apply this fix without editing the parent theme’s files? Applying this fix to the child-theme did not work.
Thank you for your help.
In this guide, https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/, there’s no mention of updating the child theme.
In this thread, first you folks say the child theme needs to be updated. Then, only the code for the theme’s functions needs updated. Then, if we follow your guide for the Update Via WordPress section, the child theme is not mentioned, so it reads like no update is needed of the child theme.
The update process for my site failed. I asked a basic question and got different three answers. Can you clearly and easily answer this?
Hi Mladen Gradev,
We’re sorry for the inconvenience, however the 2.3 update process is not different and it can be done easily using any method from the ones we have provided in theme’s update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ and doing this as instructed shouldn’t cause any issues. We have tested the theme rigorously before releasing it and found no issues. Of course using the child theme may involve other actions that needed to be attended besides those mentioned in theme’s update guide as I’ve details in my previous reply.
Please let us know if you need us to take a look at this and address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this and we will get back to your as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
For the tweeter button you need to use this code instead:
.td-social-twitter{
display:none!important;
}
For the css box, please make sure you have the child theme set up properly. I have tested the css box via child theme and it works as expected. Try it with the main theme and see if modifications apply.
Also make sure you use the child theme version that comes bundled with your theme. Every version of our theme comes with an included child theme you can use.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Thank you for that snippet but that seems a bit too hard-coded for what I was looking for. If I understand that snippet correctly that would give all categories with Style 8 one and the same image. But I want to use different images, one for each category.
Maybe I rephrase my question:
Is the a category style for which I can set an image in your theme panel. Where the image does not cover the whole background but only the “image box” above the content and below the menu?
A third way of phrasing this would be:
Is there any way – not necessarily a category style but maybe a dynamically inserted “category featured image” – to set one image for a category page, where the image appears above the content and below the menu – but does not cover the whole background?
======
FYI: I use a child theme and custom CSS file.
