No no. wait. Why do you have to install another plugin?
The feature should be added to the theme panel – post settings option. wait for the tagdiv team officials reply. No extra benefit to installing cloud library for most of the users.
Okay i found a way to do it,
Steps to enable Auto load feature
1. Install Cloud library plugin
2. Create or import single template.
3. Then Edit Template and click on the icon that says Show site wide settings (bottom left corner) next to the CSS button, but still it does not auto load
I have no experience with cloud templates i like to do things myself, how does this apply to my posts?
Why install a cloud library plugin?
we need simple and easy things. Why you guys making it messy. Isn’t there any option from theme panel to enable it? Is this what tagdiv giving updates?
Now to enable autoload we need an extra plugin. great.
Steps to enable Auto load feature
1. Install Cloud library plugin
2. Create or import single template.
3. Then Edit Template and follow: https://ibb.co/3FqHVwD
Hope this will help you.
Thank you for your understanding.
Make a cloud template if you don’t have one yet.
Click edit template
Click the bottom right button on the left side editor.
When doing so it should open an auto load menu thingy, click to enable it.
Go to theme panel – post settings and set the site wide post template to the cloud template with auto load you just configured (or you can set it manually to different posts in the post editor).
Clear cache.
*Note* When I enabled it just now, with only 20 users on my site, the server usage skyrocketed and the site became laggy af. It also broke my ad placements, the auto load doesn’t sometimes load (just shows the loading animation, and when it bugs out like that, I couldn’t click any links or buttons on the site), and in my case, when it loaded the next post, the post title (in the browser) changed to “Undefined”.
I’ll be making a ticket about these things, hopefully they can resolve it soon cause I’m pumped for the auto load feature.
Hi,
In posts as well, post templates can be built with the composer and the cloud library plugin. So the rows containing the post content and sidebar can be stretched, you can set custom widths, just like in pages.
Please check the guide carefully – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Also experiment with the cloud single templates here, preview and edit one to see what the possibilities are
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
Regarding reviews, only posts can have reviews. Use a cloud post template, set review elements from the composer which can be saved as shown. You will still have to add the actual review criteria in the post edit screen – https://forum.tagdiv.com/reviews-2/
Maybe this will change in the future so one can make the full review directly in the composer, I can’t say for sure at the moment.
Regarding the gutter, note that split rows have a column gap setting, so for example if the post content is in one column and the sidebar in another, that setting can be used to customize the space between them – http://prntscr.com/mhrv83
The featured image element can have a custom width as well – http://prntscr.com/mhrzm7
You can design the post template in any way you want. As a note, be sure to check how the template will look on other devices – http://prntscr.com/mhrzzi
About the ads, I made some inquiries and this will be looked over as soon as possible. It is true that no changes have been made or settings added for quite a while in this matter, this will change.
A header builder is now available in update 9.5, along the infinite load for posts which is a much requested feature.
In the footer you can display pages, here are some footer designs made by us
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Footers
So a builder would not be so necessary when the footer can be designed with the composer.
There are many plans to add new setting, but these take time to create and test. Gradually there will be more. Also we have plans to optimize the theme for increased performance overall, we have to be careful what is implemented in the theme having this in mind.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
By default the custom post types will use the default post template. You can create a custom template for each custom post type (based on the other post template styles), as mentioned in this guide (at the bottom)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/
In the theme the settings and options for custom post types are limited, they will not share the same options as default post types, or the cloud library templates. Maybe this will chnage in the future and more features will be added.
Thanks
The 9.5 update was released yesterday. So the option I was referring to is now available when using a cloud header template – http://prntscr.com/mhrnnq – http://prntscr.com/mhro25
There will be documentation added in this matter as soon as possible. Let me know if you have more questions or you need help with anything.
Hi,
The default templates get the ads for content from theme panel, but the template from tagDiv Cloud Library have on single post content specifics fields for content ads.
So, you can use cloud templates because the ads will appear only on that template that have set the ads, if you download one template more times and change the name ( example template_name_with_ads and template_name_with_ out_ads ) after that set the template with ads on post were you want to have ads, and the other one on posts with out ads.
All you need to do is to set the ads in post cloud template and not in theme panel, if in theme pane are not set ads on that post will not appear ads.
Also if you want you can check the new version of theme v9.5 and there are more more options and news

Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
If you want to set a sidebar on page you’ll need to make that sidebar with tagDiv Composer -> https://www.screencast.com/t/dCF8WgiLGkm
The sidebars for posts can be build in Appearance>Widgets -> https://www.screencast.com/t/GFxCeZFsmDFQ also you can use tagDiv Cloud Library and set the sidebar with tagDiv Composer.
Also please check our documentation for Sidebars tutorial -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
It ruined my access to Cloud templates. Fatal errors as far as the eye can see. Any patches on the horizon? Happy to say that the site itself is okay.
Hi Calin,
I would like to set a cloud template for a specific categorie, but when i create the template and i want to select it in theme panel>catégorie>cloud library template, the created template doesn’t show… Thx for your help
Amazing. Cloud library looks awesome, it will ease the job! You are the best theme support team ever!
Hello team
Nice update as always, I make some test on localhost before I apply the update on my live website. Everything is awesome except I can’t delete any row on tagdiv composer and cloud template.
https://www.screencast.com/t/dBVDgnZAV
You see the delete option in row is gone.
And %%page%% of snippet Yoast Code still doesn’t work on Homepage using loop post element on pagination.
https://www.screencast.com/t/ngZnE1rYtO
https://www.screencast.com/t/0J4nl05OsCy
I can’t use pagebuilder on homepage because this issue will cause duplicate title tag & duplicate meta description on google and affect my site ranking. On my live website, I deactivate a static page and %%page%% of snippet Yoast Code is work perfectly on homepage pagination. This is the example screenshot:
https://www.screencast.com/t/bKN5KMlSL4t

Please fix this issue.
Thank you

Site: VeteransToday.com
Newspaper Version: 9.2.2
PHP: 7.1 (ea-php71)
CDN: CloudFlare.com
Cache Plugin: WP-Rocket
I ran GTMetrix report for my site
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.veteranstoday.com/orr3ZYqj
Site is loading at 5 seconds (71 requests).
Should be around 2.5 seconds.
The big issue for site speed seems to be home page is loading full size images and NOT scaled images to fit.
EXAMPLE: https://www.veteranstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/SPV_Germany-FM.jpeg is resized in HTML or CSS from 1600×1045 to 218×142. Serving a scaled image could save 51.2KiB (98% reduction).
We have same problem on article pages too.
Do I have some theme/server/css setting off?
Or is this a known theme bug?
Please advise asap
Charles

Hello sir, I am getting the same error. Can’t edit any existing cloud page. The error is “Errors at columns elements: 1(models) : 6(dom). The model does not match the content”. The error comes after the latest update.
Hello,
“– All rows and columns have width settings. So in page and cloud templates where you can use the tagDiv composer, you can have custom widths.”
Yes in PAGE, not in POST
“- Regarding this gutter, I don’t exactly understand what it is supposed to do.”
“– The post title in cloud templates has padding and margin settings, all elements in the tagDiv composer have this in the CSS tab”
Yes in PAGE, not in POST
“– Regarding the reviews, you could create a review … Most if not all the elements can be saved once configured and re-used.”
Yes in PAGE, not in POST
“– For what element would you like to chnage the image size? Maybe there is a way.”
If I change the Content/Sidebar ratio to 75%/25% and the container width like this
.td-container{width:1114px !important;}
.td-pb-span8{width:75% !important;}
.td-pb-span4{width:25% !important;}
like you take a pre-sized image as Featured Image, this one will not have the correct width so I will need a new Featured Image size to fit the new content div size.
And I cannot use a CSS resizing because the Featured Image selected is smaller than the new content width, so it’s will be an enlargement CSS resizing who always provide a blurry outcome
“There are plans to add a scrollbar to the composer element list in coming updates.”
Great !! Thanks a lot, that will be very appreciated 😉
“The theme has predefined ad spots …”
Really you need to make a little survey of your competitors about that, your Ads system is really outdated and inefficient.
-No shortcode ad
-No default ad per category
-No Post ad override
-No Campaigns manager
-No Banners manager
-No Ad Blockers Fallback
“While the theme is compatible with the Woocommerce plugin, it doesn’t have specific settings for it like other themes that are built with this in mind. If you want to set up a shop and have questions let me know.”
I do not ask to Newspaper to be like Porto or Flatsome but some templates for it will be welcome. Do not forget that not all Newspaper build a website for the glory, they want also make money. It’s a little annoying to add a lot of “add_action” and “add_filter” into the functions.php just for some Woocommerce customisation.
Newspaper is real good theme, I like the Demos, his stability, but in one year I do not notice a significative evolution of his functionalities.
-No Header builder.
-No Footer builder.
-A non interactive Reviews system (readers can’t write their own reviews).
-A outdated Ad system.
-No Social Media Auto Publish.
-A complicated way to add Custom Posts.
-No dissociation between Custom Posts and Taxonomies.
-No Featured Image thumbnail in the POST list.
-No Smart Thumbnail Generator (choose the point of interest of the image).
Ok we can do all that with external plugins, but as you know more external plugins you have, more bugs you get. All this functions build by the Theme builder will work better than external ones.
Your builder is great but we do not build a new PAGE everyday, but POSTS !
Best Regards

Hi,
In order to do that ( to set and ad inline in a post temple from cloud ), please go in Cloud Templates, and edit the template for single post
https://www.screencast.com/t/79W8tpKQ
After that click on Single post content , change from general to ads and set the ads there
https://www.screencast.com/t/ikoftopbR7
Hope this will help you.
Thank you..
Hi,
That homepage is provided only when the travel demo is installed. But you could re-create the same design. All that is special about that homepage is the top part, the rest are simple blocks. A similar topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/travel-demo-top-blocks/
In the theme files you can find the homepage of the travel demo
– http://prntscr.com/mhauu2
So you could begin from there, enter that code in a new page and edit it with the composer. Or as I mentioned re-create the design in the composer. If you need help let me know.
We will try to add more sections or pages from demos in the cloud library, in coming updates.
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure that you follow the update of theme like in our documentation -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Install via FTP – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Install via WordPress – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-wordpress/.
Please make sure that you have php version 7 also please make sure that the theme system status is configured as mentioned in the requirements guide. Please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
Also be note that we did not tested the BuddyPress press with our theme, so there can be a plugin conflict.
The simplest way to get it full width everywhere is to create or import full width templates from the cloud library plugin. There is no one single button push. You have to import a post style and set it as the default post template in the theme panel post settings, then you need to import a category template that is full width and set that one as the default category template. The same for tags, author pages etc:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/ also for pages (stretch row and content ) https://www.screencast.com/t/i8SQ5eS4 .
If you want to contact us an private please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Thank you for your suggestions, feedback from our users is most welcome. I could add a few things.
– Indeed a general switch for making the website boxed does not exist at the moment.
– All rows and columns have width settings – http://prntscr.com/mh9fwf
So in page and cloud templates where you can use the tagDiv composer, you can have custom widths.
– Regarding this gutter, I don’t exactly understand what it is supposed to do.
– The post title in cloud templates has padding and margin settings, all elements in the tagDiv composer have this in the CSS tab – http://prntscr.com/mh9i4p
If this is not what you meant please correct me.
– Regarding the reviews, you could create a review configured as you want and save it, then re-use it – http://prntscr.com/mh9jb9 – http://prntscr.com/mh9jra
Most if not all the elements can be saved once configured and re-used.
– For what element would you like to chnage the image size? Maybe there is a way.
You can use cloud post templates, these can be customized in almost very aspect
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here you can experiment with cloud templates designed by us (preview and edit), there is also a blank template if you want to design your own
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
There are plans to add a scrollbar to the composer element list in coming updates.
The theme has predefined ad spots, also you can use ad boxes from the composer to place them in various locations. The theme ad capabilities are simple however, for more advanced ad management some users use the Adrotate plugin with the theme.
While the theme is compatible with the Woocommerce plugin, it doesn’t have specific settings for it like other themes that are built with this in mind. If you want to set up a shop and have questions let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
Maybe you do not understand me, you’ll need to edit the cloud template that you have set on post and you need to add the comments shortcode with tagDiv Composer.
If you want I can help you with this; just send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thank you.
Love the theme so far by the way. But I’ve been working on this issue for a few hours now and couldn’t come up with a solution.
I created a custom post with a Cloud Template that I could use sitewide. Then using a wordpress plugin called Quick Adsense (I’ve also tried other plugins that do the same thing) I tried to place an ad after the 4th paragraph. The strange thing is that the ad shows up perfectly in any of the default and built in templates. But the ad will not show up at all in the custom template I built. Also, if i set the ad to show up at the end or beginning of the post the ad will work perfect in the custom template, but again if I set it somewhere in the middle of the post it will not show up at all.
So the ad just won’t show up in the middle of a post with the custom template.
Could this be caused by the custom templates not being able to be seen in paragraphs or something else?
I know you don’t support any of these other ad plugins, but why would it work fine in a default template and not in a custom one?
The reason I’m not using the built in ad box with the custom template is that on some posts I need to have the ad removed and this option is not available as of yet on a post by post basis.
Thank you for your time.
