Hi,
1. Please also provide your site’s URL as I need to inspect your site so I can provide an accurate solution on this.
2. Unfortunately those VC column options don’t work but you can add a custom css class to that row/column you need to hide on mobiles like this: http://screencast.com/t/Y5B0S3wrEcje then use custom css to hide that row on mobiles or the viewport you want like this: http://screencast.com/t/69cIbmxcW
This is the css I’ve used you can set the “ttt” class your self and sue the css below to hide it and place it in theme panel > advanced css on the device you need to hide it.
.ttt {display: none}
3. That unfortunately can’t be done easily as the theme isn’t designed to support blocks in the header. For that section you can chose from the available header style in theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/cyp8hAYjdue or you can customize it as you like by hard-coding your design here: http://screencast.com/t/JqQQmxS6Q
Please note that in approximately two weeks the new version of the newspaper theme will be available with more customization options available for the top menu and more header styles from you can chose so you can decide then if you want to design your own header or use a predefined one.
Thanks
Hi,
Try this: http://screencast.com/t/FRmg2lfN and add the code in theme panel > custom css section.
.td-gallery-title {color: red;}
Thanks
hi, every time i get a surge of traffic, my site becomes crazy slow, especially on mobile devices. im running a 32gb ram server and confirmed with my web hoster that none of my ressources are even close of being used. i tried using google speed test for my site newswatch28.com, i get many errors: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewswatch28.com%2F&tab=mobile
i have the td booster pack plugin enabled. im also running w3 total cache plugin with page cache and browser cache enabled.
for Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content: i tried following https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/
i pasted the code in my functions.php removed it got all my files ids that i need to add to the speed booster pack plugin php file:
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘easy-social-share-buttons’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘contact-form-7’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘google-font-rest’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘js_composer_front’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘td-theme’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘contact-form-7’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘td-site-min’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘comment-reply’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘jquery’);
i tried pasting them where i thought i should but when i tried refreshing the speed test, the errors never went away. i reverted to the original… im not sure where to add them…
For prioritize visible content, i have no clue whatsoever to do, and strongly feel i need to do this. mobile only 31% rendered and 20% on desktop:
Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.
The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.
For Leverage browser caching: once again, no clue what to do. i tried following the guide again pasted the code from your guide in .htaccess, nothing…. deleted and reverted to original awaiting on your answer.
there’s other minify issues but no instructions on the guide.
i can provide my ftp access, and admin login. please help, really dont know what to do anymore at this point…

Hi!
Can someone please tell me how to target the gallery title in the custom css?
Thanks!
I don’t use child themes myself for two reasons (keeping in mind I’ve been building wordpress sites for 9 years now; both for our company and clients — and 20 years as of March 1, 2015 doing websites by hand):
1) it’s a CSS redirect; bad for Google, bad for pagespeed, and introduces some oddball gremlins with things loading from two places at once … seriously; have some weird gremlin? often it’s caching or child theme issue
2) often with many themes these days, the child theme gets updated along with the main theme for major security patches, feature updates; etc. (e.g., if you move to Newspaper ‘5’ next month, there will be new child theme — so, defeats the purpose of not editing the main files)
3) better to simply edit the main files and keep track of what you’re doing. This allows you to have fewer elements to keep track of overall and easier to back-up; easier to manage renaming folders for customization, etc.
Your mileage may vary, but that has been my experience. Especially if you use any kind of caching or systems like mod_pagespeed (as we do). Having a CSS redirect (where you’re essentially saying … load my CSS in one folder, but oh wait, NOW go load the real CSS from this other folder) — is NOT recommended by Google, but that is a basic precept of WordPress usage — started by WP, but not necessarily the best way to actually manage a site and content.
So, it’s up to you.
I don’t work here; it’s not my theme. I have been using Newspaper since Fall 2013; and this is just MY way of doing it. So, it’s only a “suggestion” on my part. Up to you. If you can live with some gremlins in how WP works, possibly pagespeed penalty from Google, and loading two sets of style sheet for the site every time the page is loaded … then enjoy. Nothing inherently wrong with it — but TIME magazine isn’t using a child theme when running WordPress; nor do I.

My site is frelsitv.com
I would like to use facebook code for like button on top of my news:
<div class=”fb-like” data-href=”https://frelsitv.com” data-layout=”standard” data-action=”like” data-show-faces=”false” data-share=”true”></div>
How do I do that ?
I already posted the first part from facebook to custom css.
Hi
I encouter a new issue on newspaper theme.
1/Lightbox does not work anymore ( pictures open on a blank page).
2/ I have problem of spaces between items. Title are overlapping between themselves as well as images even if i put gaps between them.
Adding that code forces the logo in the footer to appear smaller as well.
Something must not be working correctly. Your suggested logo size is 272×90, for Retina displays the theme suggest to upload double the size. So why is it looking large on retina displays and not the 272×90 size but using the scaled up version?
Also, once I changed the css a few things went missing. Take a look here http://www.screencast.com/t/aA9XBZrF
Thanks for the help
Need to clear your cache, both on server and in your web browser.
Basically your browser (and/or website) are loading the OLD CSS, which the new theme files don’t work with, so in effect no CSS loading.
Also remember you may need to update child theme also if using child theme (see changelog, depending on version you’re updating from). Try NOT using a child theme, unless you “must” do that for some oddball reason.
This is a normal caching problem, not an issue with theme, thankfully. 🙂
Hello,
I just installed theme on my site, it appears like this

Hi,
You have this issue because you use header style 3 on blog stack. There is an header style especially created to be used on blogs – http://screencast.com/t/smR9n0COvP
If you want to use like this you can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css my suggestion is to use Blog Style header – http://screencast.com/t/ex5HKZ3y
@media (max-width: 767px) {
#td-top-menu .sf-menu {
display: none !important;
}
.blog-stack #td-top-search{
right: -50px;
top: -75px;
}
.header-search-wrap .dropdown-menu {
left: -56px!important;
}
.header-style-3 .td-logo img{
width: 150px;
}
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t have an option to add a color for each field, but you can do this using custom css in Theme Panel. You will have to use html code and add a class for example – http://screencast.com/t/8ow4kknC5 – http://screencast.com/t/ScMCzKkseiy
I’m not sure if this what you mean, please provide more details if it is not.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately style 3 was not designed for featured video, in version 5 of the theme will be added a post template especially for video posts.
For the moment you can make this change in template 3 files – http://screencast.com/t/uwbmIgeFyvV and use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/7etmTWfs
.td-post-header-full.td-image-gradient:before{
display: none;
}
.single_template_3 header {
position: relative;
margin-top: 10px !important;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately Newsmag theme was initially designed at this width – 1021px – with an fixed grid layout,responsive as it is fluid and style for desktop/tables/mobile screens. So changing the width would not be easy as it needs changing the width value for all elements on pages and for this you would need custom work.
If you have basic css/html experience and you want to do this for post pages please check this topic, but you may need additional customziations – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/728-x-90px-ads-in-article-inline-ads/#post-43914
Also do you refer to the non-responsive ads? We recommend these divs to be used for non-adsense code – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/ but you can try to use a plugin if you don’t want to use those. Theme Ad system was designed to work with adsense code and make it responsive for different screen sizes, but also you can use shortcodes in Ads section, so if you you use a plugin for your ads just paste the shortcode there:
[shortcodes] – the spot will run do_shortcodes() on the ad. Using shortcodes you can add adRotate ads to that spot
Thanks!
Hi,
We know about this issue and it will be fixed in version 5 of the theme. For the moment you ca add an extra class to the column or row that you want to hide on mobile and use custom css to hide it – http://screencast.com/t/nABIAwy5w – http://screencast.com/t/C82fxAV0
.yourclass {
display: none !important;
}
Thanks!

Hi,
@apolitikal Please also test this without using any plugins and also make sure that you empty all caches, disable all js/css/html compression and test again. I’ve tested this as Alin instructed above and found no issues using the latest theme version so this should also work for you.
If this still isn’t working please let us know and provide a you admin credentials via email if possible so we can have a look. Use contact@tagdiv.com and please also include a link to this conversation in your message.
Checking your site using google’s pagespeed testing tool have noticed a server response time issue: http://screencast.com/t/GdslWWzKi which could cause the slow login.
There are many factors which can be taken into consideration concerning server’s response time. You can use google’s improvement recommendation on this: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/Server
I suggest you first try this without any other plugins active, leave just VC plugin active the check again.
Also consider using a cache plugin and to improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html We also use it on our demo.
Thanks
Hi
Please paste the code from above in Theme Panel > Custom Css and it should work(also please clear cache if you use a cache plugin): http://screencast.com/t/AsrI1pXn341
Thanks!
Hi Alin
I tried to put the code into CSS . . . still dosen’t work . . .
could you explain better where to put the code and/or if I need to put both lines or replace wight with hight 🙂
Hi,
Please paste the code in Theme Panel > Custom Css resize the browser window and see how it looks. You can change the width value how you wish(or use a fixed value in px like you ca see in the above screeshot) and save. This code can be removed any time from Custom Css section so don’t worry!
Thanks!
Hi,
The featured image is created from the youtube/vimeo video and it is downloaded by the theme, but it seems that for some videos it can’t download the big thumb image. Also unfortunately WordPress doesn’t enlarge images so you will need to use plugin like Thumbnail Upscale to enlarge thumbnails: https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ For upscale use a combination of plugins Thumbnail Upscale + Force Regenerate.
You can also use css code to enlarge big thumb from Big Slider – http://screencast.com/t/3GwTJeDG
.td_block_big_grid .td-big-grid-post-0 .entry-thumb {
width: 100%;
}
.td_block_big_grid .td-big-grid-post-0 .thumb-wrap {
height: 100%;
}
Thanks!
Ok. So I just write this:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.header-style-3 .td-full-logo img {
width: 50%;
}
}
in the empty field in the theme panel at custom css and then it works or do I have to change it in the file style.css directly?
Hi,
Please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/OCshxnlFDpM
.ls-inner {
z-index: 0;
}
Thanks!
as noted in my posts; you need to activate the Visual Composer to “edit” your home page again or anything else using VC. The shim just provides the CSS for the TagDiv modules so they work — there is no other way to edit VC layouts except with VC.
So, you can leave the shim active, turn on VC, then go edit stuff, save, then turn off VC.
That is what I have been doing. Luckily you don’t generally need to keep changing your homepage layout all the time; just tweak stuff. And of course, a sidebar for home page can be edited from appearance > widgets without VC being active.
Hope that helped 🙂
TIP: use the VC version from January (e.g., that came with NewsMag 1.6; 4.4.2) if you have that, as that does allow me to edit stuff without crashing box. I am *not* using the latest VC on any of our sites for anything.
Hi,
On desktop and tablet it works fine for me with that style and size. Only on mobile the logo is too big for that screen.
So when I change the width via custom css with that code you gave me above, I change it only for mobile or for desktop and tablet as well?
