Hi,
Unfortunately indeed there it is a problem using child theme with tagDiv Cloud library the post templates will not longer work, sorry for the inconvenience!
We’ll try to fix this problem as soon as possible.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
What did it break exactly and how? We could take a look if you can post a link to the website.
Most demo homepages are provided in the cloud library and can be imported
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Homepages
Or you could copy the homepage shortcodes from the tagDiv composer plugin files
– http://prntscr.com/nvepvb
Each demo has the homepage there, for example – http://prntscr.com/nvetip
Thanks
Hi,
Starting from theme update 9.7 most of the theme files were moved in the tagDiv composer plugin, so modifying them in a child theme is not possible anymore. They can only be modified there directly if this is required – http://prntscr.com/nvedxl but note that the modifications will be lost after a theme update when the plugins are updated as well.
Only the default post template remained in the main theme folder
– http://prntscr.com/nveeqf
However what you are trying to do is possible in a cloud post template. These templates can be edited/created with the composer, so placing an ad box element in the post template is an easy task. Also the post template elements can be re-positioned as needed.
These are cloud post templates made by us, but you can also create your own

Hi,
You need to have the tagDiv Cloud Library activate, also the templates that you have can be less if you have an older version of theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
That can easily be done if the post uses a cloud post template
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
It is a matter of drag and drop while editing the cloud post template
– http://prntscr.com/nvdssj – http://prntscr.com/nvdt1o
For default post templates it would require modifications in the code structure, and this can’t be done in a child theme after theme update 9.7.
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/
Using the tagDiv Cloud Library is the best way, in this way you’ll not lost the changes made in template if you make a theme update.
Thank you!
Hi,
I could take a look at it, please post a link where I can see it happening. The width should be the one set in the composer for the row containing the elements. So it shouldn’t change itself, the set width should be loaded initially and not change.
If you imported/built a cloud post template you can set the width you want for the rows, from these settings – http://prntscr.com/nvdcfb
When using cloud post templates ad codes for the post content can be added in the template
– http://prntscr.com/nvddh0
Also in ad boxes around the post content – http://prntscr.com/nvddp0
Let me know.
Thanks
Hi Simion C.,
good to hear, that the child theme/template issue is under investigation. I hope this error will soon be fixed.
I do use a cloud template, but I think this (wrong) message does appear because of the template bug.
Hi,
There are a couple of ways of doing it, depends on the template the category uses however. Do you use default category templates or cloud category templates? For a default category template you could use a bit of CSS, this should work
body[class*="category-paged"] .td-category-description {
display: none;
}
This can be made to work on cloud category templates as well, for example
body[class*="category-paged"] .tdb_category_description {
display: none;
}
These codes should work, if you want to use them, enter the appropriate one in the theme panel custom CSS section. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Indeed, seems the child theme causes the issue with the post templates. The selected post templates do not apply when the child theme is active. This problem is under investigation, it will be fixed.
@Beni If you are having problems with the composer, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com so we can take a look at it. Provide admin login in the email, and mention any other details about the problem, if there are any.
@be2name Does the post use a cloud template? If it does, then you should be directed to the composer edit screen. If it doesn’t then there will be a message
– http://prntscr.com/nv9oay
So if the post uses a cloud post template it should work alright, works in my case. Let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately this option is only for single post templates, if you like the default post template you can find it in tagDiv Cloud Library -> https://www.screencast.com/t/jcgPM8pZt50
Thank you!
Hi,
You could indeed experiment with the cloud post template similar to the one currently used.
Post Template 6 or any non-cloud post template can only display the publish date, adding the modified date in it would require you to modify the post template file and add the necessary code. Before theme update 9.7 this was possible in a child theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/post-last-updated/
But now the post template files are in the tagDiv composer plugin, so they can only be edited there. The inconvenience is that the modification will have to be made after each theme update, because the plugins will be updated.
That is why it would be best to try and use a cloud post template if possible. Import the one you want, configure it as needed, and apply to the posts you want.
Thanks
Hi,
The view count can be set were you want in single post template get from tagDiv Cloud Library
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/9DANLHoTyZ
Thank you!
Cloudflare is good for this, also means you don’t need to set up a minifying plugin and save speed. It’s also very easy to set up. I’ve saved 33% of loading time using this.
Autoptimize is also great, this may interest you in setting it up: https://www.thenerdystudent.com/2019/05/newspaper-speed/#autoptimize
Oh I figured it out by using the Cloud Template to build my own custom one, but for the developer, it would be more helpful if the default templates were actually in the Cloud Template Option. When I chose Template 9 it was not identical to the theme – so I had to find one that was close and then manage it that way. With the original theme files here, we would just have to fix the template design based off of the original.
Hi,
Thank you for your response and suggestion to use cloud templates. I created a cloud template, but I have one issue with this. The template is first stretched out the full width and after that resized to 1200px. First this is visible for the user, but more annoying is that Google Adsense is serving the ads to wide.
Image 1: wrong ads serving
Image 2: Before resize “event” (too wide)

Hello !You will have to edit the functions.php in child theme and change from 1001 to 11 and it should work: https://image.prntscr.com/image/LJgOPaseQeWx88hn-pSKGQ.png
Thank you !
We already done that ut child theme still not working with cloud library… Custom post templates are not working…
I’m currently trying to create my own author template with tagdiv composer cloud template and have the following questions:
how can I display meta data of my users? For example, I have stored in the metadata in which position the user works in which company and would like to display this on my author page. How is this possible?
I would also like to output all posts of a custom post type created by the author. Where can I filter that only the posts of the author are displayed without specifying a specific author? I want to be able to use this template for all my authors.
Hello !
I pressume you mean to have a full width page. That you can achieve by using the tagDiv Composer, selecting the row you want to stretch and select the stretch method you want like here: https://www.screencast.com/t/yVyvk8yTQCCO And for the header you can do it here: https://www.screencast.com/t/xf56tQN0. In order to stretch post pages you will have to add a template from the cloud templates to it and then modify it. You can add the template only on the posts you want.
Thank you !
Hi,
You can set that code in theme panel in custom code, custom css and the css should be apply only on featured image from cloud template.
Thank you!
Hello,
I very much like the way posts look on this website – https://segmentnext.com/2019/05/28/total-war-three-kingdoms-formations/
Is it possible to achieve such post look with cloud templates, if so, can you help me?
I tried making something similar to that but with no luck. Thanks!
Hi Simion,
Thanks for your answer. Just to make sure I understand:
I am using the Post Template 6, please see here: https://www.thedigitalpictureframe.com/the-ultimate-10-point-checklist-for-buying-a-digital-picture-frame/
I believe it is almost the same one as the Single Post Template 17 from the Cloud library.
So should I use the Cloud Template 17 instead of the Post Template 6 as a workaround?
Cloud Library does not initiate with Child theme even you do the 1001 to 11 change…
Child Theme and Cloud library not working together 🙁 They need to fix asap…
Hi,
It is true that such a setting does not exist at the moment. I could add your request on our list, an option may be added for the cloud template post next/prev element, in future updates. Thank you for the suggestion.
