Hi,
If you are using the templates from Theme panel > Category, please go in Settings > Reading and set blog post show 9
https://www.screencast.com/t/iYowGqvi3J
Or if you are using this option with 10 post you need to get a category template from tagDiv Cloud Library and edit the post loop
https://www.screencast.com/t/j7wS2EYA3x

Thank you for your understanding.
Hi Tagdiv!
Your custom templates are really great, first of all.
But I need some modifications on it.
I want to use this custom template for my reviews – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/battlefield-5/
But I need the star rating review moved on the right, and the content on the left.
Basically, “flip” them.
I have tried to manually move them, but the row on which 3.4 rating sits is still bigger. And the content row is smaller, even when I change the row settings.
http://prntscr.com/luchjp
Any help? 🙁
Looking forward.

Hi,
Yes you can use a tagDiv Cloud Template , and make sure that you do not have any demo install, in this way no demo css will be load ( the demo css is loading only if you have some demo install, if you uninstall it the css will be remove ).
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi @WebMasterhi,
What I mean is that on your example that page of category in order to have a line of category posts, one of ads, you can get a category Template from tagDiv Cloud Library
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
You can edit the category template with TD Composer
https://www.screencast.com/t/dGXQN21Ww4Qx
https://www.screencast.com/t/QebUiMHvKdb
Hope this will help you better.
Thanks.
Hello 🙂
We are using the Newspaper theme along with compatible WPML plugin for translation.
We created a category template using cloud library in our primary language and assigned it to the category in the theme settings easily by going to per category settings and assigning the template in the Cloud library dropdown where we could see all the templates that had been created.
We also created a translation of the cloud template but when we go to the theme settings for the 2nd language we cannot find any templates in the drop down list 🙁
Could you please advice?
Regards
Ashutosh
Hi,
1. If you use cPanel / WHM or Cloudlinux and your host use / upgrade to php 7.1 or 7.2 you can encounter problems with “thumbnails not showing (images)” because default EasyApache 4 via WHM do not install some PHP extensions as default (extensions that were installed in PHP 7.0 and earlier versions as default via EasyApache or Cloudlinux profile):
– php-mysqlnd -> Some WordPress websites will display this error: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress and some websites not showing images / thumbnails. Especially if you use MariaDB version 10.2 (recommended by cPanel).
– libc-client
– php-curl
– php-bcmath (need if you use some form plugins who calculate the total)
– soap (if you have installed woocommerce)
When this extensions will be installed your website will have everything needed to work correctly.
Suggestion for tagDiv:
a. On Newspaper > System Status > PHP extensions you check only for mbstring & GD library and you should check for all PHP extensions needed as long as cPanel WHM / Cloudlinux, Directadmin, Plesk etc change often theirs policy with “default PHP” extensions installed when upgrades PHP version!
b. When a user has problems first, you need to request a System Status screen capture and check the PHP extensions installed!
2. If you use / upgrade to MariaDB 10.2 as SQL database and have problems due to some plugins / (themes) coded previously (older).
For advanced users!
“Upgrading to MariaDB version 10.2 will automatically enable strict mode and remove any existing sql_mode entries in the /etc/my.cnf. This is by-design due how MariaDB implements the change. After the initial upgrade to MariaDB 10.2, you’d need to manually add the following value under the [mysqld] section in the /etc/my.cnf file if you want to revert this change”:
Code:
sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
I hope my post will help some tagDiv members!
Hi,
After I upgrade my Newspaper theme to V9.1.2 classic editor is not showing the option to set a featured image. I’m using Wp super cache and cloudflare. I have cleared the cache of both. Is there anything I need to clear.
Hi,
Please regenerate the thumbnails, this is a guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Note that the images used as features should be bigger in order to allow the theme to create the necessary thumbnails
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
So for example this image – https://mediterraneamagnagrecia.cocoproduzioni.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/7c62_12.jpg
That is not big enough to create most of the thumbnails the theme blocks and grids use.
If most of your posts use such small featured images, maybe consider using blocks that use a smaller thumbnail, see them all here
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Or cloud library blocks with smaller thumbnails, these are all the designs at the moment
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
Thanks
I see. Touching core files is not an option for us (update-wise).
So I was wondering how to recover this situation now. Can I now create a template (cloud one), import it directly and clear the loading somehow?
I mean, I can also copy the demo’s css to dynamic part, but my problem there is the loading call of the file, not the code itself.
Hello,
Sorry but once a demo is loaded the entire demo-style.css file corresponding to that demo will be loaded. If you remove the loading of this file, he demo will no longer receive the specific style. If you do not need to load css, you can simply use the cloud library and import the demo homepage and not use a demo at all on your install.
if you still want to remove the loading of the demo file, you cannot do it from the child theme. you have to modify the main theme files: https://www.screencast.com/t/Z6iibXLf
Thanks
The new update should fix the lazyload issues, we made a few modifications to it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/il31iImi8H
Also a new setting for rows was introduced, and various fixes overall.
With the cloud library there is no identified issue, so nothing changed in the matter. So if you have a problem using cloud templates, send us an email and mention the steps to recreate the issue. We will investigate.
A loop is a cloud library element – https://www.screencast.com/t/ApD3dp9Rg
The loops will only be visible in the tagDiv composer if the cloud library plugin is active
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
There are loop designs created by us and available for import. You can preview and even edit them here
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
Hi,
Predefined blocks and grids (all except flex blocks and grids) will use predefined thumbnail sizes, cropped by center top. The results will be different according to module used and also affected by the image aspect ratio
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
With the flex blocks and flex grids you could control the images by some parameters. You could experiment with the flex blocks and grids which have options to manipulate the image
– https://www.screencast.com/t/JqcubPWxoZ
– https://www.screencast.com/t/MF6tn1kSSunH
There are quite a few block and grid designs created by our team which you can import and use, we will add flex grids as well. These are based on the flex blocks and grids
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Thanks
Hi,
Such plugins will not work, this will require modifications in the theme files. It also depends on where you want to display the time ago, in modules or in the post page.
In the post page it is possible with cloud post templates. The date can be displayed in a time ago format (for a 7 day period)
You can test this by previewing then editing a cloud post template here
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
– https://www.screencast.com/t/5jK9ApgeYCN
In modules it could only be done with some modifications
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/the-time-ago-in-block-3-is-correct-but-another-block-is-wrong-time/
Thanks
Hi,
This can be a cache problem, we recommend WP Super Cache, please clear/disable all cache ( plugins, browser, host ).
Also please make sure that the Cloudflare is well set -. https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
That is not possible with block 15, this block displays two modules when set in a 1/3 column, so maybe consider using a different block which shows one module in that layout.
These are all the theme predefined blocks (26 types)
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Blocks 3 or 5 would be similar for example.
Or experiment with cloud post templates, there you can use flex blocks in the sidebar
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here you can preview and even edit the cloud post templates and block examples based on flex blocks
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
Each of them cab be imported and used.
Thanks
Please send us an email so we can check your issue, as mentioned above. On our end the cloud templates can be imported, saved and applied properly.
Hi,
@Mercurial the module used by the loop 2 element is located inside the cloud library plugin
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AYh78gWrDSY
Plugin files cannot be modified in a child theme, so any modifications to them will be lost after a theme update when all the plugins are updated. Old versions of the plugins cannot be used with a newer theme version.
Thanks
When I try to load the Cloud Templates > All Templates page, it often returns 500 errors.
I have created 4 working templates, and when the page actually loads, rest of the features and functions of the theme work without any problems.
“PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 90112 bytes) in /www/mope_295/public/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3751” while reading response header from upstream, request: “GET /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tdb_templates HTTP/1.0”, upstream: “fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php7.2”
Disqus will not work with cloud post templates, I have already added this on our list to see what can be done about it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
That’s sad, cause Disqus is more useful than default comment system the theme has.
Hi,
Unfortunately there is now option to do that for default template, the smart list 6-7-8 are made for ads
https://www.screencast.com/t/1onJ3Y0cb
If you want you can use a template from TagDiv Cloud Library for smart list and set there your ads
https://www.screencast.com/t/zMIeX4PhJOEd
https://www.screencast.com/t/G24xw9k9Yn
Thank you for your understanding.
The problem is that the new template I try to create doesn’t appear anywhere.
There isn’t an import option, so that I can import one cloud post template.
The next hours there will be a change of hosting in progress, so I think it’s better for me if you work this out after a couple of days.
Nick
Hi,
A smart list cloud post template will only display the smart list itself (nothing else from the post content).
The post content should contain only the smart list. A smart list has to be created like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-lists/
So for example create a smart list in the post content, import a cloud smart list template and apply it. The style used and other smart list settings can be made in the template itself
– https://www.screencast.com/t/vFSPESvX
Hi,
@pcservis That would sum it up, good explanation.
There are no plans to exclude or stop providing the WPBakery page builder with the theme. We will not pressure users to switch composers, use one or the other and there will be no problem. WPBakery will be updated same as before, when the theme is updated.
1. It would be necessary in most cases. The exception would be pages that contain only theme provided page builder elements like blocks and grids (which work in both composers). If there are specific WPBakery items and you would deactivate this plugin, only shortcodes will appear.
2. If the WPBakery plugin would not be active anymore, and the tagDiv composer is active, it can handle theme elements (blocks, grids etc) but not specific WPBakery elements (tabs, accordion, masonry grids etc).
3. Both can be active, but it may cause problems with some elements or WPBakery row layouts and settings. For example single images or image elements may not display properly, to name one. There were other issues before, we solved as many of them as we could.
4. Most of the new features since the tagDiv composer introduction are created specifically for it and will work only with it. The cloud library plugin will work only with our page builder.
Basically you can keep using WPBakery permanently or for as long as you want. There are no plans to stop including it in the theme package, or stop updating it.
Thanks
Hello,
1)Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further investigate it closer your setup page.
2)Sorry, but please notice that the only way, in this case, is to use the cloud templates, create a category template, an example, and apply it for all of your categories.
3)I do not know how you have edited the category.php file and how you have added the Ads into your category page. Use the Cloud Template and create your category template for your desired category customize it with Ad Spots.
Thanks for the message!
