Hello, i can Not a Text edited. The wp Editor Not opened. See the picture. What can i do?
Hello
Can somebody give me hand with adding Article title over featured image to page template in tagdiv composer?
Hello,
New install, just playing around with the pages and posts to see the capabilities. looks like when I click on new posts, the posts editor remains the Gutenberg default. There’s no ability to select the TagDiv Composer.
Just purchased Newspaper 9. Installed it and successfully activated it. However when it asks me to install the 3 plugins – TagDiv Composer, TagDiv Cloud Library, & TagDiv Social counter – I get Ajax Errors, on all three and then my entire WordPress shuts down. I have tried shutting down all other plugins, and still the problem persists. Please Advise and help.
In case anyone stumbles onto this… There is no way to customize without risking changes being overwritten when TD pushes updates.

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, as we wrote an article on that subject. In the future, if you need to make some changes over those core files, you need to check the files from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Pu345nqP If you need more assistance in this case, please open a new topic at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/
Thank you!

So does this mean that you have to edit the core plugin files directly!? I have made changes to the footer and various part of site through child theme template customizations, how are these suppose to be added now without editing the core plugin files?
Example. I have a child theme and have
childtheme/parts/footer/td_footer_template_14.php
I have added an above footer widget area to this file, and now this is gone. How would I re-add this functionality?

We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css, as there are very few files left in the main theme as Envato, requires all functionality to be added through plugins. From now on, if you want to make some changes over the footer theme templates, you need to edit the code from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/RqUdpKc8 Also, if you need more assistance in this case, please open a new topic at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding!

That does not help at all. What happens when you update the TD Composer plugin? All of the updates that were done to those would be replaced.
This is NOT going to work for continuous development using the Newspaper theme.
There are ways to incorporate locate_template() within a plugin so that you can still maintain the functionality of overriding core templates.
This is not an inconvenience this is a DEAL BREAKER for utilizing this theme going forward with new clients, the flexibility and customization of this theme just went from 90% down to 0%.

Hi,
The Newspaper theme update brings a change for the customers that use WP Bakery Page Builder with our Theme: when you’ll be updating to the Newspaper 9.7.2 version, you’ll need to activate the tagDiv Composer to keep the Newspaper theme functionality you’ve previously used. Otherwise, you will have basic WordPress functionality, complying with Envato WordPress Requirements – https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
Please note that activating the tagDiv Composer doesn’t mean that you are required to use our custom page builder on your website. You can use the WP Bakery page builder as you did before the update. We recommended you to do not use the tagDiv Composer and WP Bakery page builders on the same page though, because you cannot edit with WP Baker blocks and shortcodes created with tagDiv Composer or vice-versa. Regarding your customizations, if you have made and have affected some of the theme core files when you will make the theme update, all of these files will be overwritten. You need to make a full backup and then, all these customizations should have to be implemented again to the core files.
Thank you!

Catalin,
Your response has nothing to do with the issue I proposed. I did not say anything about WP Bakery.
The theme has no hooks at all to implement customizations on a plugin level, and now the functionality of customizing page/post templates has been removed without introducing a new method to make those customizations.
Your answer of just “hack the core files” is absurd. You can not really believe that your customers are going to think this “cowboy coding” way is going to fly in 2019?
Is there someone on your development team or someone higher up that you could connect me to?
I have built out over 20 media publications using the Newspaper theme, all of which have customizations. If I make changes to the TD Composer plugin and you push out an update, it is only a matter of time before all of those customizations are lost.

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience! In your case, if this update will affect your websites, the best solution is to keep the old theme version (9.1) for them. This can be downloaded from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/ Please notice that we try doing our best and where we find a way for this case, we will make an update with this, sorry! At the moment, there is no such thing, sorry!
Thank you!
I have newspaper 9 and the tag div composer stopped working on the front page. I foolishly deactivated the plugin, thinking that I could reinstall it to fix the problem…HELP!
Dear Vlad,
It would be nice if you could help me again, please. I have with your instructions, which I found see screenshots, changed the code.
The code breaks my page and then there is parse error.
Many thanks. Rick
https://www.screencast.com/t/iN3BVwVzenP
My Code:
<div class=”td-header-rec-wrap”>
<?php
if(pmpro_hasMembershipLevel(array(‘1′,’2’))){
// show the header ad spot
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance(‘td_block_ad_box’)->render(array(‘spot_id’ => ‘header’, ‘spot_title’ => $tds_header_ad_title)); ?>
}
</div>
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/parts/header/ads.php on line 8
The site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Hi all!
is there a way to call the content of the latest article from a category in tagdiv composer? I got a client that likes block 18 (top article) presentation, but below the photo they want all of the content text of the same article… I used block 18 limited to 1 post and below i placed block 11 for the rest of the posts. In between these two i tried the Display Posts plugin so i can use shortcodes. I get an unstyled full/no paragraphs text. For some reason i don’t think that this is the best or most optimal solution anyway.
Any suggestions?
cheers!
Hello !
When using a cloud header you will edit it using the tagDiv Composer and header manager. In that case you will have to go to Style Tab and change the Text color for Main Menu and the Text Color for Active & Hover option.
Thank you !
Hi,
That plugin cannot be used anymore since update 9.7, it has been replaced by a new plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/developer-info/
You could use this plugin from now on. Or experiment with flex blocks, maybe what it used to be possible only with the api plugin, it is now possible with flex blocks and grids
– https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-flex-block-elements/
– https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-big-grid-flex-elements/
Thanks
Hello !
You can try these settings here: https://www.screencast.com/t/bPApH0EWq2
Or if you’re using a sinlge post template you shoud add the comment box from the tagDiv Composer.
Please provide a url to your website so we can take a better look.
Thank you !
Hi Calin,
I deactivated all plugins except for TD Composer and the ads are still not accessible.
There are no special codes in the Google or custom code areas, however many of the ads (which I can not access right now) have Ezoic ad wrappers around them. The Ezoic ad wrappers have the structure shown below. I used the Ezoic ad wrappers with my old host and Newspaper with no issues.
<!– Ezoic – ArticleSidebar – sidebar_1 –>
<div id=”ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-102″>
(ad code goes here)
</div>
<!– End Ezoic – ArticleSidebar – sidebar_1 –>
Appreciate any other thoughts!
Hi,
Unfortunately for the moment this is the only way, to make the changes directly in tagDiv Composer plugin file.
Thank you for your understanding!
It still works using the standard header templates but I’m trying to build my own using the blank template option in td composer
Hello !
1. The latest articles option comes from page settings and cannot be edited BUT it can be removed. You will have to go and edit the page from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/2yAuA478
2. In order to have 1 or more columns you can edit / add a row. Click on the ROW tab when tagDiv Composer is active and select the layout you want to have like here: https://www.screencast.com/t/dXW0AqJHN5c
3. In order to set what type of block you want you can simply go to search and add from the add element option in the tagDiv Composer and add it to your page.
Thank you !
Hello !
In order to remove a Row you wil have to simply hold your click onto the ROW box using the tagDiv Composer and drag it to delete: https://www.screencast.com/t/lLEkUugc
Thank you !
Hi,
I would like to forced the header background color to be aligned with the layout container but i don’t find the setting.
I have done a customized header and i set the color with the css tagdiv composer. http://emzmupvb.preview.infomaniak.website/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/header.jpg
I want also customize the same thing with the main menu and more, setting the main menu row height… but i don’t find.
Thx for help,
Laurent

When i’m using tagdiv composer i can’t delete something also i don’t know why, if i click on “yes” a second bock appear
https://www.screencast.com/users/max3.9/folders/Default/media/74284ca1-412b-42b0-8aeb-b1ba76aa79c0
I can’t also see all my pictures in each blog post.
I’m beginner with wordpress but i’m pretty sure i’ve followed all steps correctly to update the theme.
I need my blog to work and specially all my images
Hope you can help me, cheers !
Hi,
You can use the theme provided page builders regardless of Gutenberg being active or not, used or not. So for post contents you can use Gutenberg if needed, there should not be any problems.
You could also build pages with Gutenberg, but then don’t edit them with the composer. Pages should be built with one page builder of your choosing, then only edited with it if needed, not with a different builder. So if you build a page with Gutenberg, this page should only be edited or modified with Gutenberg.
Thanks
Hello !
For creating specific sidebars on separate pages you will need to edit the page with the tagDiv Composer. Add a row, then edit the row and add a side column. And that’s how you will achieve a sidebar. After that add the elements you want in it.
Thank you !
Hi,
The mobile version is look like that because you have the mobile theme plugin that provide you a better speed then responsive version of theme, but in order to achieve that speed you’ll need to create a new content for pages because in the most of cases those were made with builders ( tagDiv Composer, WPBakery ) and you need to use only the mobile editor ( you need to set the content for pages in mobile editor and this content will be display on mobile theme)
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/ebUIzt4se
Mobile Theme: Automatic Optimization for Mobile with Newspaper Theme -> https://tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-automatic-optimization-for-mobile-newspaper-theme/
Also for the 3 blocks, you’ll need to have set same feature posts (that have set feature category) -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ -> https://www.screencast.com/t/QsJ6ppY4
If you want the responsive version and amp you should use this opinion -> https://www.screencast.com/t/jZct5ueBqOrb but if you have amp activate on pages you’ll need to create in Mobile editor a content for AMP version of page.
If you do not have the featured category, you’ll need to add some posts in feature category -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ if you do not have this category you can create it, just make sure that you set the category name to be
Featured
Let me know if you have more questions!
Hi, as a result if I want to edit a file like td_module2.php, I have to edit the file directly in the td-composer plugin folder? There is not any other way ? It is therefore necessary to avoid overwriting the modified file in case of an update of the plugin. Thanks for very much your help.
Pretty much all of the features of the theme work for me except the ads. When I click to the ads section and then click on any of the ad placement options, the theme just hangs with the circle going round and round indefinitely.
I have updated all of the resources to more than what the theme guidelines call for. See below. WP-Supercache is not compatible with WP 5.2 yet and was giving me errors so I deactivated and deleted it. I am using Cloudflare though for caching. I have successfully used the Newspaper theme for 4 years now, but recently had to change my host due to some difficulties with my old host. The problem with the theme has happened since I switched to a new host. I originally had version 9.7.2 when I switched to the new host and I downgraded the theme to 9.7.1 to see if the issue would go away, but the ads are not accessible in either version. I have also turned off all plugins except for TD Composer and TD Speed Booster, so there does not appear to be any plugin conflicts. I also copied my current .htaccess file below
