Thanks Simon.
1. What i am trying to do is: Simply when a user clicks a certain ” category” on my site i want all posts inside that category to show. So not only the ones that are set to ” primary ” in that particular category.
2. Thanks Simion! I will soon definitely check out those cloud templates. However i experience extremely slow loading problems on mobile since using this theme, whichis kinda worrisome. So i want to install the mobile version, but can’t find it?
Thanks,
Wilfred
Hi,
1. If you are referring to modules (which form blocks and grids) these will display only one category tag. This is block 1 for example
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
The category tag that will represent the post is the primary category of the post. If one is not set manually, the theme will pick the first one alphabetically. If there is only one category, that will be primary.
Here you can find out more about the primary category, how can it be set manually and what elements are affected by it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/
If this is not what you wanted to know, please correct me.
2. The font size for the post titles on mobile is predefined, I believe to 32px. if you change the size in the theme panel it will apply on desktop, but on mobile the same 32px will be used. With the optional mobile theme plugin it will be 30px.
That is the case for the predefined post templates. It can be changed with some CSS if needed. I can provide it to you. Mention how you would like it to be.
However if you use a cloud post template, the post template can be designed with the tagDiv composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
You will be able to set one size for desktop, and one for mobile
– https://www.screencast.com/t/u3R6zvkq8b
The new cloud templates will allow many possibilities, which the predefined post template don’t have.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Do we have some tutorial/link for this TD cloud library plugin?
On how can I achieve a 3-row default post format for all existing and new posts…
I have downloaded it and tried to edit a blank single post template. But couldnt proceed…
Hi, I get this error when I want to add new cloud template: “Invalid reply from server endpoint.”
I tried to re-save permalinks, nothing changed.
Also everything in system status is green.
1. I see. I did not think of that.
2. I saw the normal pagination feature has been requested for a long time. Hope we get to see it in some of the coming flex blocks.
3. Another question. Is there a way the related posts element for cloud library can be edited to have an option to do away with images? I saw that block adds nearly 300kb of code, with caching installed. Changing image height or width to zero does not help either. I was trying to make it show like say, block 9 (but as a downward list of related posts).
Hi guys,
I’m playing with Cloud Template Single Post 25 (this one):
https://cloud.tagdiv.com/spa-and-wellness-resorts-are-amazing-for-your-health/
and can’t work out how to replicate the paragraph indenting while keeping the full-width images. Can you please advise how you’ve done this?
Many thanks,
stuart
Hello alebasur,
Do you have edited this page? If you have a category page, notice that you should use a custom template from Category Templates which can be edited with TD Composer. Check here
-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Good luck!
Hi,
That is not possible by a theme setting. The ads will display at all times once entered in the theme panel, there are no options to exclude category pages specifically.
The theme ad system is simple, enter ad codes and they will appear. Most users that require more advanced control over the ads use the Adrotate plugin. This would have the settings you are looking for
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-manage-ads-in-wordpress-with-adrotate-plugin/
– https://ajdg.solutions/manuals/adrotate-manuals/
Another way would be with cloud templates. With the Cloud library plugin you can design post templates and category templates. These can be built in any way you want
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
For example in a template for posts, the ads can be entered in the template directly (theme panel ads will not appear)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/6pxiECJWukcO
So you can create a post template without entering ads there, the theme panel ads will not be displayed so the post will have no ads. The template can be applied to the posts you want.
I never tried something like that, probably it could be done. Check some guides for adding shortcodes
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode
– https://generatewp.com/shortcodes/

I will create a request for the cloud library next/prev to have a thumbnail toggle if possible, by default.
1. Hi. Some URLs in here are showing some b tags in the URL bar when clicked like this one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-%3Cb%3Espeedify%3C/b%3E-your-website/ . Would you correct this? They return a 404 error page.
2. I saw the category templates in td cloud library use a post loop element (with numbered pagination). Does the team plan to integrate it into td composer? thanks
Hi @Simion. I have this code that I used to show thumbnails in a custom next and previous posts feature using the default template. I did not find an easy way to implement it in the new single templates from the cloud library and would like to create a function in functions.php and then share a shortcode in a text element. I am aware tagdiv does not provide custom work but is there a way you can kindly assist in creating the function to call this code as a widget? Thanks in advance. Here is the code
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts(); ?>
<div class="navi-previous-next clear clearfix">
<div class="navi-previous navi-item"> <?php
$prevPost = get_previous_post();
$prevthumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($prevPost->ID, 'td_100x70'); ?>
<p class="navi-icon"><?php previous_post_link('%link', '<span class="navi-prev-title">← Previous Article</span>');?></p>
<div class="navi-post-content">
<?php previous_post_link('%link', $prevthumbnail); ?>
<?php previous_post_link('%link', '%title'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<div class="navi-next navi-item"> <?php
$nextPost = get_next_post();
$nextthumbnail = get_the_post_thumbnail($nextPost->ID, 'td_100x70'); ?>
<p class="navi-next-icon"><?php next_post_link('%link', '<span class="navi-next-title">Next Article →</span>'); ?></p>
<div class="navi-post-content">
<?php next_post_link('%link', $nextthumbnail); ?>
<?php next_post_link('%link', '%title'); ?>
</div>
</div>
</div>and preferably have something like this after the function
add_shortcode('prevsocial', 'prev_social');
Hello,
Sorry but we do not know of any plugin that works properly with our theme that ca auto load the next posts.
The 3 columns on posts is already available in the current version of the theme using the new cloud library plugin that lets you create a post template using the tagdiv composer page builder: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
This example only show how to import a template but once imported in the tagdiv composer you can edit the template using the page builder and split the content into multiple columns.
Thank you!
So you want that page “ALBUMRECENSIES” to show up in the mega-menu, instead of the sub-category page. The mega-menu only works with categories, displays posts from categories. It is not supposed to display pages, that is what the page menu would be for.
But what would be the purpose of including the page instead of the sub-category exactly? Category templates can now be built just like pages, with the tagDiv composer so the design of the category page is not a problem.
Maybe leave it as a category maybe, and design a category template as you want with the tagDiv composer. You can make the category template exactly as the page you created with the flex block
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Please try and make use of the available theme options instead of code modifications if possible, these might not work with future theme modifications by update or even be lost after an update.
We try to add more features with each update, more multi-purpose options for both news publishing and other areas. But these take time and lots of testing.
Hello,
If you want a specific category layout, you will have to use the cloud library plugin and import a category layout. Then you can customize it in the tagdiv composer and save the template. Then you can apply the template you created to your category page in the theme panel under the per category settings: https://www.screencast.com/t/ibY7kWFeTD
Thank you!
Hello,
The featured video option in our theme only recognizes facebook, youtube, vimeo or dailymotion videos. If you need to implement videos from a different network, you will have to embed them into the post content. You will not be able to use them as a featured video. Sorry. You can always set your post as a video post and set a featured image manually like you would a standard post. Then use a post style that will not show the featured image like post style 5 or a custom cloud library template. then the video you emebed will be the first element on the post.
You do not actually ‘need’ the featured video spot except for the particular video post templates.
I hope this helps.
Hello Ginfox,
I saw that you are using the Rocket Loader which is the untested plugin with the theme and which cause some problems with the theme. Please check our demo and you will see that error will not appear. I have checked your source page and I saw this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/4UKi5JiaKKM Your CDN configuration could be the problem. Check our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Yes, you can with single templates from the new Cloud Library Plugin https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/.
Hi,
There is a CSS solution in this topic for the review stars color
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-is-not-available/
If you use Cloud post templates, these have settings to color the stars

Hi,
I tried with “bottom” – https://www.screencast.com/t/jmdLDdz1CVYD
For some reason that returns the homepage. Pages are included in the search results. The excerpts for pages cannot be controlled, they will be picked automatically from the page content. Some unusual results can be displayed in the excerpt field.
A solution would be to display the search results in a module that does not show excerpts
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1ZwidjL7sxhl
Or create your own search template with the cloud plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
The way the WordPress search works it is quite common to return relevant result. This is a much discussed topic online. Many users install dedicated plugins when it comes to a better search functionality, or simply remove it entirely.
Thanks

@kcelean Please don’t “Up” the topics, this will delay the reply by renewing the topic date. We answer from oldest to newest which is fair.
So you are having problems setting up the Soundcloud in the social counter. I could take a look if you can provide a link to your website where the counter is present.
For page speed please use the following guides:

My domain https://www.waftr.com is hosted in USA – Hostgator Cloud server, but still I’m experiencing 2000ms of TTFB, how can I reduce that.
Yes, I tried contacting Hosting provider, they wanted me to optimize the site and I tried my level best. and one of my friends asked me to check in the Theme forum.
Kindly check and let me know your comments,
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
The flex block does have an option to display the whole post meta above the thumbnail
– https://www.screencast.com/t/pHYtwWPk
You could use flex blocks instead of predefined blocks. Doe to their flexibility, one can build entire pages with flex blocks
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/flex-block/
The subtitle can be positioned anywhere in the single post page. Drag and drop it in the location that you want
– https://www.screencast.com/t/BQWfdagWzlZl
That is easily done with the cloud library plugin and tagDiv composer, post template can be design in many ways
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
More beautiful templates will be added in coming updates, for posts as well.
Thanks
How did you guys solved it?
I’m having the same issue here, the Soundcloud counter stays at 0.
For default predefined category templates like the one that you use the number of siblings is calculated automatically, there would be no setting for it.
Cloud library category templates allow the user to specify a limit for the siblings, when creating the category template
– https://www.screencast.com/t/xpQYadYabUky
So you can display as many as needed.
