Hi,


@station
The photon feature of jetpack’s plugin generates and serves a new, re-sized image based on img element’s width and height attributes” besides the one theme smart list adds to the page.
The jetpack photon feature can cause issues and while the theme works based on the same system (creates and serves/uses thumbnails for each uploaded image).
You can find more info about it here: http://jetpack.me/support/photon/

@unplug.tips You could place an ad sport banner basically anywhere using ad spot’s shortcode and the do_shortcode() function, you just need to edit the smart list file and add it like this: http://screencast.com/t/OiJeoRTehttp://screencast.com/t/6DuMWfc5F8http://screencast.com/t/NWw7IBHWbJ

I also checked this using the ad box shortcode inside smart list’s content and it worked fine.

The smart list have been designed to alter the first image you use on one item so it will use there a specific dimensions image thumb but to work around this you could add one specific first image which you can hide via css then add the second image which will be your banner or large image you need, like this: http://screencast.com/t/r2DtnTIpThttp://screencast.com/t/dNqkB65awsqhttp://screencast.com/t/7XfROO8wN9

.td_smart_list_3 .td-item:nth-child(2) .td-sml3-display-image {
display: none;
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Hello,

I love the theme update! It looks phenomenal.

I was wondering how I can customize the default video player which is used on the Newspaper theme. Rather than having it use the Vimeo player, I have a Vimeo Pro account which gives me the file URL location and allows me to embed videos into my own player.

For that reason, I have JW Player Ads Edition, which allows me to monetize. Right now the only way to get videos to show up in their specific position is if it’s strictly a Vimeo URL. Since I’d like to use the pre-roll VAST tags I have, I was wondering what I need to edit (where to begin, what file it’s found under, etc) so that I can have JW Player V6 Ads Edition be my video player rather than the one Vimeo provides.

Vimeo Pro allows users to not only embed videos, but to directly embed the files which change to a mobile format or downgrade quality based on connection speed for you (acting as a $200 a year CDN, saving me $6,000 a month at least).

Where do I go about editing how a video is pulled? Ideally, if I could paste in the url to my video on Vimeo / YouTube area, and run the system through there, where would I edit this file and would it be best to use a child theme to direct this through?

Thanks & Fantastic theme!

Thanks for the reply.

– I disabled all plugins but VC and the problem persisted.

Hi,

1. I guess that this is what you want to do – http://screencast.com/t/UtORBEL3Y

.td-big-grid-post:hover .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before {
opacity: 0.3;
}

2. You will need custom modifications to change the thumb size for each module used for Big Grid and increase the margin between them – http://screencast.com/t/XeQkMx7dbhW I suggest to hire a freelancer to customize Big Grid for you, as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
3. If you want to add a hove color for articles title in Big Grid you can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/ehfidfhfaCqE Just change the big grid number and add your color.

.td_block_big_grid_1 .td-big-grid-post:hover .entry-title a {
color: red;
}

4. Not sure what you mean, please provide more details.
5. The excerpt length for every module can be controlled from Theme Panel > Excerpt – http://screencast.com/t/ur5noHK5vGx
If you want you can also use the excerpt section from post settings, but the settings from panel will not control this, all text that you paste will be displayed – http://screencast.com/t/rardM7tu0

Thanks!

An obvious way to do this is to simply use Big Grid 4 multiple times as needed and let infinite load handle the rest, but my concern is that doing so will result in far too many queries running something like a dozen loops on the initial load of the home page.

So my questions are:

  1. With big grid 4 loading 2 posts per instance, how insane would page load and server load be if I used that grid for 24+ posts on the home page?
  2. How would I go about either altering big grid 4 to display more than 2 posts per instance, or create a new big grid that uses grid styles, looks like big grid 4, and accepts a post count parameter?

I assume #2 can be done via the Theme API but the documentation isn’t clear on grids, only blocks and modules. I definitely want something that can be protected through updates without a child theme, but a couple of edits per update is fine too. This is still slightly experimental but big grid 4 with grid style #4 looks amazing and shows a lot of promise, so I’m willing to commit to a fair bit of work to make this happen. I need some advice on getting started though.

Thanks.

Hi,

To see if this causing the issue, please switch to the main theme, clear cache and see if the issue persist. If you don’t have this issue anymore, you can copy the css code from style.css file and paste it in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/dxWMY8bqH Then make a backup of your child theme files and update it.
The custom css from panel should work even if you switch to the child theme.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can comment these filter options in the code – http://screencast.com/t/t3xYYRRYQ but please note that this change it will apply on all category templates.
If you want to do this only when you use template 5, you can hide them via custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/ybNbEMmk

.td_category_template_5 .td-pulldown-filter-list li:nth-child(2), .td_category_template_5 .td-pulldown-filter-list li:nth-child(5) {
display: none;
}

Thanks!

Hi Alin,

Thanks for your answer, but as I said, with only the style.css file in my child theme, I do not know how to update it ? Or you mean that I have to replace this one, with the one from the /code folder, and in parallel copy the content of my child/style.css in the custom css area to keep what I done ?
I looked the https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ link but it does not say how to update it.

Sorry for my question, but I prefer to not do a mistake 🙂

Hi,


@Junior
you have to update also the child theme to the version 6, anyway the old customization(version 4) will not work in the new version. Also you can use Theme Panel > Custom Css so you will not lose css customization.
Newspaper 6 should be regarded as a new theme, the code was rewritten and also the child theme is more complete now(from 6.3 version) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Thanks!

Hi Emil,

Thanks for your reply but i’m afraid that none of them worked 🙁
I have put both in the style.css of my child team as shown below but it still looks the same. Also i’ve noticed that on your screengrab http://screencast.com/t/2W93kIfgMAxm it appears that your image is in the background of the Add area and not of the menu itself, your menu (where your little 6 logo is) is still black, that is where i want my background image to go please 🙂

Here’s my site: http://fuzzy-yellow.com/

/*
Theme Name: Newspaper 6 Child theme
Theme URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Description: Child theme made by tagDiv
Author: tagDiv
Author URI: http://themeforest.net/user/tagDiv/portfolio
Template: Newspaper
Version: 6.0c
*/

/* —————————————————————————-
This file will load automatically when the child theme is active. You can use it
for custom CSS.
*/

/* Change Menu Background Image*/
.td-header-style-4 .td-header-header {
background: white url(‘http://imgscenter.com/images/2014/09/13/Beauty-of-nature-random-4884759-1280-800.jpg’) no-repeat;

Hi

The theme wasn’t tested with upsell products, but I’ve added this on our list and we will fix it in the next update. Until then you can use this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/5U9N0k3qnn

.woocommerce-page .upsells .products li:last-child {
margin-right: 0px !important;
}

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I’ll find another option though as I don’t want to install another plugin and muddy up the site with categories for pages.

I’m going to look at customizing the block in the child theme instead to pull pages by an ACF field, or perhaps use a post category with and link the block using custom fields to an assigned URL.

What I really wish is that the theme had shortcodes or a display option to show text on top of images the same way you can do that with posts, but anyway – thanks for getting back to me.

Hi,

try pasting the following css in the theme panel, in “custom css”:

.td-grid-style-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child::before {
background: none;
}

The overlay is meant to make the titles readable in case the photo is too white like the titles, but your images are dark at the bottom, you should be fine. You can also add overlay to just the titles like we did in the big slide at infoporto.pt
Hope this helps, cheers!

Hi @ctomlin,

We’re very sorry for all the trouble you’ve experienced. Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme that is released for free for all of our existing customers so an update from 4 to 6 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. In the “how to update” guide is specified that you will have to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes… Also you have to update the child theme, please note that old files customization or custom css will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust and re-add them.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alin,

Thanks for your answer. My question is maybe stupid, but as my child theme only has a style.css file, how is it possible to update it ? Cause, if I’m right, if i copy the style.css included in /code folder, it will delete the changes I done to the style.css file ?

Hi,

I see that you use child theme, please make sure that you update it to the theme version as it seems to be an old version – http://screencast.com/t/Ear1LHjNVk You can find it in the /code folder from files that you download from themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/

Thanks!

I tried to update from Version 4 to Version 6 following the instructions. I am using a Child theme, so was expecting some minor global navigation issues (typically happened after prior updates).

However, the update completely failed. I tried doing the WordPress way to do the new install. After I complete the required steps, I see either error code or worse, a completely white screen when I try to follow your instructions.

I just did a revert to my Backup of version 4, and thankfully my site appeared again! WHEW!!!

I’m not willing to try this again. Sadly, I will probably be using a different theme as I cannot afford to have my site crash, and can’t update it with the provided files and instructions.

Sorry, but your instructions and the resulting user experience are not good!

Hello.
Recently got round to updating my v4 site to v6.4 today. I’m working on a staged copy…
Full disclosure:
Went to maintenance mode and deleted the Theme folder (and the Child).
FTPed the new up and clicked the ‘import script’ which completed and told me to regenerate thumbnails.
(All regeneration failed – but that for another time.)
Updated plugins as requested…

The first thing I have noticed is that the default page layouts and custom fonts for example are all gone! That’s a real pain but not insurmountable, HOWEVER what is a problem is that I have lost the social counts (number of Tweets on posts etc) – I am effectively starting from zero as far as the outside world is concerned… this is very bad.

I suspect there may well be more, but that’s a deal breaker!

Please advise
Thanks

Hi,

If you refer to this block(18) please try to use this custom css in Theme Panel to remove the gradient background – http://screencast.com/t/g5c1e7U03Su

.td_block_18 .td_module_mx8 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:after {
opacity: 0;
}

Please provide more details if this is not what you mean.

Thanks!

Hi,

1. You have the following structure:

Articles(parent category) > Critiques(subcategory) > Lectures(sub-subcategory)

For this article you set Lectures category, the breadcrumbs function displays 2 levels of categories so in this case the Lectures category is displayed and the parent category which is Critiques. To display more levels you need custom modifications.

2. I will add this on our suggestions list and if more users will request it, the developers will consider it. You can also make this change using the child theme as this file can be overwritten by it – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Thanks!

I’ve updated the theme and now I see all strange ( I think visual composer) code

See example:

[td_block2 limit=”6″ custom_title=”NATUURLIJK ETEN & DRINKEN” ajax_pagination=”next_prev” category_id=”32″ show_child_cat=”all”][td_block1 category_id=”29″ limit=”5″ custom_title=”NATUURLIJKE VERZORGING” show_child_cat=”all” ajax_pagination=”next_prev”][td_slide autoplay=”7″ category_id=”31″ limit=”5″ custom_url=”NATUURLIJKE OMGEVING” show_child_cat=”all”][td_block3 category_id=”30″ limit=”5″ custom_title=”NATUURLIJK OUDERSCHAP” show_child_cat=”all” ajax_pagination=”next_prev”]

I already uploaded the theme again and also uploaded Visual composer again.

Can you help me?

My installations seems to be having problems since yesterday showing icons. http://www.elocuent.com/elo/

Only change i can think of is that my hosting service changed permissions overnight of the WP-login.php file.

All images are loading and this is only icon related I.e. span.td-social-icon-wrap:nth-child(1) > a:nth-child(1) > i:nth-child(1)

i deactivated theme and reactivated and seems to be consistent.

weird thing is that i only happens for desktop browsers firefox and chrome, but no for desktop safary or iphone safari.

Well, problem solved! 😀 The issue was exactly what you pointed out: theme version. I updated, installed the child theme and now it works flawless! FINALLY!!

Thanks so much! 🙂

Hi,

Please make sure that you use the latest child theme version, it should be at least 6.3 version, from this version you can overwrite the modules, headers… please check documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/ If you need to update it, you can find it in the /code folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks Chris for your help!

Please note that in version 6 any customization(to the theme files, custom css) from old version will not work and you will have to re-add them as Newspaper 6 is practically a new theme. In the “how to update” guide is specified you need to run the script that will import from database your settings, will change the shortcodes. Unfortunately you will have to re-add your widgets in the sidebars as some of them may not be imported or don’t exist anymore, also they will become inactive.
Also the new version of child theme you can find it in /code folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/

Thanks!
