I have also 6 (most used) plugins which are not working anymore with speedbooster. For testing I disabled all the plugins which were conflicting, but still getting the error from pagespeed insights that I have blocking css en javascript (but all are in the footer now). How can I solve both problems?
Hello can you please tell me how can i customize logo height and width 270*90 px is quite low for my website so whats the new css class in new update btw.! thanks for the awesome update 🙂

Well mine as well,that NEW VC update is not working,all the blocks i choose i’m getting some kind of message that…
Elements within this list are deprecated and are no longer supported in newer versions of Visual Composer.
My static page is all messup it seem this theme not supporting static page any more,what happen to the V5 and why this theme have so many issues,i’ve delete V4 and done a new install removed all my CSS CODE etc and all i get is a messup static page and no settings is taking…is this a joke are what..
Hi,
I’ve added this suggestion on the list, we’ll try add a slim version of css (no woocommerce, bbpress, buddypress) in a future update.
Thank you, Emil G.
It is NOT a bug in WordPress but a feature 🙂 The CSS has to be adapted to this, i.e. the theme. For more, see my other topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-definition-for-screen-reader-text-to-default-css/
The screen-reader-text class is used more and more in WordPress. There was already a topic in the Newsmag forum complaining about this (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/bug-categories-label/) but nobody from the developers did answer 🙁
Please add the following to the default css and release a new Newspaper version (and BTW you could update VisualComposer as well):
.screen-reader-text {
clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);
position: absolute !important;
height: 1px;
width: 1px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This code is suggested by https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2015/02/09/hiding-text-for-screen-readers-with-wordpress-core/ and by http://blog.rrwd.nl/2015/04/04/the-screen-reader-text-class-why-and-how/ and it is used in the TwentyFifteen theme delivered with WordPress (https://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/wp-content/themes/twentyfifteen/style.css Section 7).
Thanks!
Hi,
If you want to change the article title background on Big Slide please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/rdV3pH75
.td-sbig-title-wrap .td-sbig-title {
background-color: rgba(214, 77, 236, 0.7) !important;
}
.td-big-grid-title .td-sbig-title-wrap {
background-color: rgba(214, 77, 236, 0.7) !important;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Please note that Newspaper theme was designed in 3 columns fixed grid, so the blocks are recommended to be used 1/1 – 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3, or2/3 + 1/3 – http://screencast.com/t/6gdyLvoX4 You can also split row like you want, but not all blocks will work fine and you may need additional customizations.
You can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css to remove underline for articles titles on blocks/modules also on Big Slide and normal Slide:
.iosSlider .td-sbig-title-wrap a:hover span, .td-big-grid-title a:hover, .td_mod_wrap .entry-title a:hover {
text-decoration: none !important;
}
Thanks!

Hi,
1. Please check this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/fisaZY2tD
.td-review .td-review-final-star {

}
Also if you want to change this on modules you can use this custom css – http://screencast.com/t/6cWnFuBWKaHN
.entry-review-stars {
color: green;
}
2. You have to edit the template file that you use – http://screencast.com/t/4Ws3SlEBS
Result bellow featured image on default post template – http://screencast.com/t/t8QbpPW59luW – http://screencast.com/t/EuskmHrQ05mi
Thanks!
Hi,
@goteng I have checked your link and I see that you have disabled theme social share buttons. S I don’t know exactly how you have added/modified the code. Did you tried to align them with custom css?
@Sprite_zaa The theme social share buttons are in td_module_single_base.php file – http://screencast.com/t/X0sFGoDsoN5E – http://screencast.com/t/nNlyuZbc so if you create a new share button there you can add it or replace a theme share button.
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you want to remove opacity for Big Grid? – http://screencast.com/t/eVxkTUKn8i
.home .td-big-grid-overlay:after {
opacity: 0 !important;
}
Or change transition time:
.home .td-big-grid-overlay:after {
-webkit-transition: opacity 0s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: opacity 0s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: opacity 0s ease-in-out;
-khtml-transition: opacity 0s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: opacity 0s ease-in-out;
transition: opacity 0s ease-in-out;
}
Please check this css code in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/PO7kZoI9Hr
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try this custom css and see if it works and also use !important tag – http://screencast.com/t/qoxK0t0UAwW8
.td-related-title .td-related-right {
display: none !important;
}
.td-related-title .td-related-left {
border-radius: 3px;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
You have these errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/aGLY6Hjh2 please check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue with gallery.
Unfortunately this delay usually happens when speed booster is used as the css and js are moved at the bottom of the page structure, so that the page will load faster. That’s why the theme’s default style appears first then changes, because of the cascading property of css. To avoid this you could try to make the changes directly into theme’s style file.
I also checked your page source and those css resources are moved to the bottom, you also can check – http://screencast.com/t/vkHNjMZu only jetpack sharing css is not moved – http://screencast.com/t/YGTYW5v11oxY Try to move also that css and see if you still have this issue when you test pagespeed on mobile.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can hide the search icon using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/70BTPvw2ec
.td-menu-header #td-top-search {
display: none;
}
Or if you want to remove the code you can edit menu-header.php and delete this code – http://screencast.com/t/BB6jFGWrerXL
Please provide more details about your second issue as I’m not sure what you mean.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css:
.td-g-rec-id-header {
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
If this doesn’t work please provide a link as I need to inspect this.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for this, but you can add a border using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/l8ffqjr5Hcc but this it will apply anywhere you use module 10. You will need custom work to achieve that, eventually add an extra class to column where you use block 10 to target only that block – http://screencast.com/t/oH1JgW8X7MU6 and if you want a different color you can use nth-child selector – http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/sel_nth-child.asp – http://screencast.com/t/3ZzQIuaJAcS
Thanks!
Hi,
You can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css to change the thumb display on mobile form module 8 – http://screencast.com/t/ewsF96VpIk
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td_mod8 .item-details {
margin-left: 0px !important;
top: 15px !important;
}
.td_mod8 .thumb-wrap img {
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
}
}
If you want to apply this only on your homepage just add .home class – .home .td_mod8 .item-details and .home .td_mod8 .thumb-wrap img
Hope this helps!

Hi,
@Christopher thanks!
@vtobing You can change the color of the Grid line on Newsmag theme if you want this – http://screencast.com/t/9wYZwr0k
1. Please try Christopher suggestion and use Regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ anyway I have checked your homepage and the thumbnails are displayed fine – http://screencast.com/t/EafYUovZba
2.
a. Not sure why do you have this issue, if you have articles on Featured category it should be displayed also on Big Slider.
b. You can use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css for Big Slider arrows – http://screencast.com/t/DtyeieMwq8e
.iosSlider.td_block_big_grid .td-icon-left, .iosSlider.td_block_big_grid .td-icon-right {
color: red !important;
}
Also for normal slider you can add a background to the arrows – http://screencast.com/t/bDrHvF5t7u
.iosSlider .prevButton, .iosSlider .nextButton {
background-color: red;
}
3. You can try to change the post style as default from Theme Panel > Post Settings – http://screencast.com/t/SoPnjVmiAjRR This option is overwritten by the ‘Post template’ option from the backend – post add / edit page.
4. To improve the pagespeed score please check if the following optimization are done on your side – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ – and this one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-pagespeed-2015/
Thanks!
Hi,
You can do this if you don’t want to use a banner beside the logo on header style 1. Anyway you also can use a header style with full logo like style 3 or 6.
If you want to do this with style 1 you have to edit the header template – http://screencast.com/t/j0OU0LAt and use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css to center the logo – http://screencast.com/t/H38xqFkonIDK
.test img {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto !important;
}
Thanks!
Yup. Just take all of that out of your style.css file which is what I do.
All those features you keep asking for need to have the code someplace. And better to have one big file, vs. having 10 different CSS files like some sites. That’s the whole idea behind “combining CSS” so only one file gets loaded/cached.
CSS larger for this theme vs hot topix (I use that also), is all those fancy visual composer modules and layouts; which is why you have 50 layout options vs the 3 or 3 with topix — apples to oranges. Why does a V8 engine use more gas has than a 4-cylinder ? Self explanatory – twice the cylinders.
No way for theme to easily generate different CSS and a nightmare for support (where is my WooCommerce CSS? Un, did you activate that option? Where is the option? In the CSS panel. Where is the CSS panel? Did you see the documentation? What is that?) etc. 😉
Just my two cents if we’re all going to chime in on this topic.
Upshot: tweak your site to remove those elements you don’t use, for best performance.
I did have conversation with Radu about what could safely be removed from the config file, also, such as require loading modules for bbpress if not using that. Never got to finishing that process due to the server CPU issues we had due to stupid VC memory leaks or whatever is up with that.
Personally I would prefer to have a MAGAZINE focused theme without all the bbpress, multisite and woocommerce stuff – but 20-30% of people buying this are “wanting” and perhaps “demanding” those features so they are in there (the Magazine theme got bloated from Oct 2013 to Jan 2015 due to this … annoying to me, personally — but this is a “one for all” theme, not a micro niche focused offering; or it would not sell in these competitive themeforest marketplace).
Happy Sunday. Ranting over (rant!!!!)… 🙂

Why would the theme have anything to do with URLs posted on Facebook ?
The theme has nothing to do with how URLs are parsed. Meaning, if the URL you share to FB is correct and actually works, and somebody clicks that link – it will work if the site is accessible.
That is handled by your DNS, web server, and the ISP being able to resolve the DNS pointing at the IP where your website is hosted.
It might be a setting you have for Android users, or it may be that the caching of your CSS is mismatched on server and some android users or chrome users where chrome caches websites, is loading old CSS and not the new CSS and page will not load properly.
In those cases you need to clear server cache quite completely, where applicable; and a visitor who has a browser which doesn’t reload the CSS properly would need to hit “refresh” in their mobile browser to get the new CSS.
Sometimes you can force this by setting a very short TTL just for the CSS, like one hour, and let it be that way for a week — bad for pagespeed, but can “force” some browsers to make sure they only see new site CSS.
Might not be your issues; just a thought 🙂
Hi,
Many themes includes twitter feed with proper CSS.
Any chance to include this feature in the next update?
thanks

Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN, then check if you still have this issue. Also disable all css/js minification. If you don’t have this issue anymore please activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can edit module files and move the title above the image, for example module 2 – http://screencast.com/t/FDJJlcSQ0
You may need additional customization as it may look like this – http://screencast.com/t/UNmzBYEC4 so you will need to use also custom css, something like this – http://screencast.com/t/S1R1hZOv5D
.td_mod2 .entry-title {
min-height: 60px;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
the CSS file is way too big, if you ask me.
If I want to edit the file in browser, the browser collapses. Thats really not normal.
Untouched the css file has 478 kb. If I delete codes like woocommerce or bbpress, it still have 318 kb. And compressed the file is still 286 kb big.
My old theme css (HotTopix, on Themeforest too): 74 kb (uncompressed).
Is there anything you can do to reduce the size in future updates?
Thank you!
