Can you try this CSS, add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
#buddypress #profile-edit-form ul.button-nav {
display: inline-block !important;
}2. We will try to make it better in the future updates, can you give us some suggestions, what can make or what can improve on this BuddyPress? because I still don’t know from what is used that BuddyPress plugin đ
Can you show us your site to see for what do you use that plugin?
Thanks for your message!
Yes, my new css style for the main menu works. The older css not.
Hi,
The Custom CSS from Theme panel is stored in database, on an update this should not be affected because you update only some files.
If you add some CSS again, the CSS works?
Thanks for your message!
hi,
1) use this css:
.td-menu-background{background-color:#FFFFFF !important;}
2) use this css style:
article p{background-color:#FFFFFF !important;}
this will make only the paragraphs white
Thanks for you message.

Hi,
I absolutely love the newspaper theme but i have A lot of custimization questions.
1) I wanted to change the font for the content in the post. (the content tab in the theme panel doesn’t work).
So I searched the forum and found the custom css code.. it did the job.
Now I need the custom css for the post title because if I use the same font in the post title (using the theme panel). That I use in my post content (using the custom css)
the post content changes.
So can you provide the custom css for the post title similar to this:
.post p {
font-family: ‘georgia’,!important;
font-size: 17.3px !important;
line-height: 1.45 !important;
}
2) Can you also provide the custom code to change the font on my pages (ie about page, contact page etc)
3) Is there a way to remove the colored box from the tags underneath my post titles on the homepage?
4) Lastly, is it possible to switch the sidebar/widget title (the colored box) from the left to the right?
Sorry for all of the questions…thanks for the help.
After updating to 3.2 my previous CSS changes in the theme panel are no longer displayed. What can be the reason? I do not use cache plugin or something.
Hi,
1. For me the name appear correctly as you can see here: http://screencast.com/t/97I60soPJvqM
I think is from this element Work experience, from where come this? there is a CSS issue and could be fixed easily, but i need a link with the issue to inspect it or tell me how do have added that text Work experience
2. bbPress forum have a different structure, the Buddypress have the default structure is not only a CSS issue.
3. We will take a look about this, seems the issue is only when you have space in title forum
4. We will investigate.
Thanks for your message, we will try to improve this in future updates.
Hi,
Do you want to have a widget with recent posts on each category that shows you the posts from the category you are? I mean if you are on category “TV” in sidebar you have recent post from TV category?
You can do that using the visibility from Jetpack, configuring each widget to show only on a category or create a custom sidebar for each category.
First of all please check if you have the latest theme version 3.2
1. We have only for footer this option at this moment.
2. We have new blocks, in total 10 blocks, Block 1 – Block 9 and Block search. http://screencast.com/t/HmXcbiL4 You can create your own block if you have some programing experience, take a look in /includes/shortcodes/ on td_block files, also blocks are built using our modules that are in /includes/modules http://screencast.com/t/NvkkSH3pjYk
3. You can make this only with custom CSS, if you have some experience you can make it yourself.
4. The theme have this if is ok for you http://screencast.com/t/bQnF0Yo9 just edit and uncomment this line http://screencast.com/t/28sV5P09
5. I don’t understand your question, please can you give us more details
6. You can use a lightbox plugin for that
7. Thanks for the suggestion
7. The theme come with 3 custom ads spot that you can use it in any places, unlimited time using the Ad box widget
8. We have in plan to improve that part.
Thanks again for all suggestions!
Have a nice day!
Hi There,
I’m having an issue of the menu jumping because the logo height is over the expected size. Can you let me know where to change the CSS or JS?
Thanks,

Hello,
I’d like to make a few points about bbPress and BuddyPress when using this theme.
1. BuddyPress Profile Page
The profile page for BuddyPress (front-end, accessible via http://example.com/members/admin/profile/edit/group/1/) is not how its supposed to look like. See example 1: http://i.imgur.com/TDpgYfl.jpg
As it can be seen on example 1, the “Name” should be below the “Introduction” and “Work Experience” profile groups.
2. Forum Topics Started
Forum Topics Started’s css is different from the bbPress css. It is accessible via: http://example.com/members/admin/forums/
It would be great if it has the same design as the bbPress forum itself.
3. Breadcrumbs bbPress Bug
When inside a topic in the forums, clicking on the last breadcrumb returns to a 404. Example, let’s say I’m on a topic the breadcrumb nav will show “Home > Forums > Funny Videos” the funny videos link will redirect to: “http://site.com/forums/topic/topic-title/Funny%20Videos” instead of “http://site.com/forums/topic/topic-title/Funny-Videos”
Also, the breadcrumbs themselves are not redirecting to the forums. Please do check.
On demo page: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/forums/forum/wordpress-theme/general-support-wordpress/General%20support:%20WordPress
4. Forum Categories
Forum categories pages are not showing the listed forums under it. Let’s say I have “WordPress” as my category and forums under it would be “Plugins,” “Themes,” and etc. When opening the Category “WordPress” it should have listed the forums under it right? Well, it’s not doing that. Please fix.
Accessible on demo via: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/forums/forum/Wordpress-theme/
Closing notes:
I do hope these bugs get fixed soon. Newspaper is a powerful theme which I literally like and found incomparable with other WP themes.
Hi,
You can make something similar editing the author box widget http://screencast.com/t/pzHlnhCTbH5T
You have to add this code to get the description of the authors
$buffy .= '<div class="vcard author"><span class="fn">';
$buffy .= get_the_author_meta('description', $author_id);
$buffy .= '</span></div>';http://screencast.com/t/aHFRz3yAzL12
Also you have to make some CSS changes.
.td_top_authors img {
height: 100px !important;
max-width: 100px !important;
width: 100px !important;
}
.td_top_authors .item-details {
margin-left: 122px !important;
}Hope this help!
Thanks!

Hi,
Add this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
/* responsive phone */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td_block_slide_big {
display: none;
}
}Thanks!
Hi,
Please add this CSS in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
.menu-top-container li a:before {
display: none;
}Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The max-size not work, you can use this, add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
.gallery-columns-1 .gallery-item {
max-width: 500px !important;
}
Been working with the theme for much of the past week, love it – covers almost all my needs.
Only significant problem I’ve come across is the ‘visibility’ function in the widgets don’t work. My posts have several categories so I aim to have a sidebar for posts in each category showcasing most recent stories in said category (eg. so a post categorised in ‘TV’ would only list posts also in the ‘TV’ category).
You have the option for that – ‘Recent Posts’ and then changing the visibility. Trouble is it doesn’t seem to work. I tried ‘Show’ ‘TV’ but the result is still the most recent posts across all 7-8 categories. I tried ‘Hide’ and selected all the other categories – same result.
In terms of suggestions for future editions:
1. ‘Dark’ color scheme. Not every site uses white backgrounds, some of us like our black and/or grey ones. An option to swap the color scheme between them would be great.
2. More ‘Blocks’. Five’s just not enough, especially as many are quite similar. Any chance of a ‘Block 6’ made entirely of ‘Module 5’ and a ‘Block 7’ made entirely of ‘Module 9’? Is there a way to build our own custom blocks?
3. Increased color options. I work on a site with seven or eight different categories. I love that I can adjust the colours of the tags and some headers to assign a specific color to different categories but can this go further? Can this apply to elements such as the color highlight in main menu, the widget sidebar headings, and the big slide titles, etc.
4. Minimised author option. Right now in posts, the only way to see the author is to include the great big honking ‘Author’ box down the bottom. Any chance of an option to change it so instead the author’s name only appears in a line of text at the top of the post – between the category listings and the publication time (like it is on the category pages)?
5. A third header style. Right now there’s a thin line underneath writing with no background (style 1), or a thin line with a raised colored background behind only the writing (default). Any chance of a raised colored background across the entire line?
6. Gallery pictures – along with attachment page or direct image, any chance of a css-only lightbox style popup option so when someone wants to see a bigger picture in comes up in a closeable box?
7. Category Pages – For those of us with a LOT of articles – in some cases over 10,000 in one category, ways to sort the order of a content are a must. Current category pages list only from the most recent to the oldest. Any chance of a way to list a categories stories in alphabetical order and jump to a specific letter?
7. More AdSense boxes – specifically a secondary sidebar one. A lot of sites use a 300×250 AND a 160×600 or 300×600 further down in their sidebars.
8. Love the various styles in the ‘Social Icons’ widget, much more than the fairly ordinary design of the ‘Sharing’ options in the posts themselves. Any chance of the latter to be more like the former?
Hi,
About the issue with left position, can you give us access to your WP to take a look? Send via email at contact@tagdiv.com mention in title message for MARIUS and paste a link from this conversation.
Can you give me a link from a post to inspect it. Probably can be done via a custom CSS
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
We working to release v 3.2, that will include a mega menu style and only some bugs/issues fixed.
About grid, we can’t change it, because the theme and style CSS is based on that size.
About custom fonts, we will make something in the future updates, if you want to change a particular/custom font you can make this easily by changing directly in style, this in case that you want something else.
Thanks for your message!
Hi,
Yes, I think is possible somehow with some custom CSS
Try this: I have a category Phones. The CSS should be:
.category-phones .td_title_style_1 {
border-color: #000000 !important;
}Thanks for the message!
Couldn’t you just hard code them into the style.css in your child theme? I would think that’d work, haven’t tried it though.
Hey Marius

I would like to deactivate the link Modus for this entries. How can I do that? Before the update the above css fix helped.
Best rgds

@christopher I’ve minified the style.css but that doesn’t improve the speed…what can I now?
@mehedi
yes, I use BBedit on Mac and TextPad on PC, as my text editors, but basically you can also use notepad (not wordpad), or whatever the plain text editor on Mac is these days (I always want to say simpletext).
SO: create new blank text document with same name as the file you plan to minify (filenameXYZ.js), put into a folder or wherever you store stuff on your computer, and leave it open …
THEN, open the file from Newspaper theme folder you want to minify in text editor, select all (CTRL+A) and copy and paste into the minifier site, apply – then copy the minified text into your blank document then save. FTP up the minified version to over-write the original in the theme folder (you should have backup, or your themeforest install as backup obviously).
So, you’re replacing the original *.js file in the theme folder with your minified version.
Easy. Certainly there are plugins that might work for you, too, but I’ve not used one lately so can’t suggest best one beyond the discussion in the pagespeed topic.
Reload your page. If you’re caching the js files obviously you need to clear cache. Both on site if using cache plugin and in your web browser to see changes.
Remember you would need to do this each time you update the theme. But it really takes under a minute to do, for those who need it done. Try it.
====== OTHER OPTION =========
if you’re using my pals in Canada at Gossamer Threads, aka “GTMetrix” — a great tip many people entirely miss is that you can run a page score on your site, and it will tell you if CSS or JS need to be optimized BUT THEN IT WILL GIVE YOU LINK TO DOWNLOAD OPTIMIZED VERSIONS!!
Go here: http://gtmetrix.com/
put in your site URL, or a “post” URL – then under stuff to fix it will have section on JS optimization, open little sub box, and it will show you files which “should be optimized” and will have little text link next to each one. Download/save the optimized version, upload via FTP, and done.
It’s really “wicked cool” ! I had seen this on couple of websites and was thinking “how did they do THAT” … then ran across mention of it from Smashing mag (good place to follow on Twitter, btw). Checked it. Went, “hey!” and bookmarked for future review.
How to implement – it’s really a CSS like Bootstrap, along with the calls to the post permalink from the WP post, dropped into bottom of page hook. So:
Well…. likely a php file to include with calls to the post permalink, or a function. Not sure. Something RADU could look at for 3.5 perhaps đ
@christopher Do I need to copy all the codes from style.css and minify it from the website and then replace the codes?
please let me know
thanks1
