Hi Lucas Lynch,
That demo use a cloud template for post, you’ll need to edit that template ( from cloud template or from post ); for example if you are on the post, just click on edit template -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6spFPzna7y -> https://www.screencast.com/t/PX1dmFmK after that save the changes and check the post again -> https://www.screencast.com/t/I8m5dffOvWF
Also if you want to change the category “tag” color on blocks those options are available only on flex blocks -> https://www.screencast.com/t/093GsFvO
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/IP1MyRAKoTx
If you want to change the category background color for others blocks you can use custom css -> https://www.screencast.com/t/FLJZl5suEM2
Thank you!
Okay i found a way to do it,
Steps to enable Auto load feature
1. Install Cloud library plugin
2. Create or import single template.
3. Then Edit Template and click on the icon that says Show site wide settings (bottom left corner) next to the CSS button, but still it does not auto load
I have no experience with cloud templates i like to do things myself, how does this apply to my posts?
Hi,
You need to change the image url from http in https -> https://www.screencast.com/t/mYZwhSswW
Please use these guides to make the implementation properly:

Hi,
Unfortunately in that section the ads css is stronger then theme css, this is for the moment the single solution that I can give it to you.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
In order to change that background color you’ll need to click on menu row go on css and set background color on that row -> https://www.screencast.com/t/MsxtLzrb
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
I am on the verge of punting this theme from my site as getting it to pagespeed etc that is mentioned on themeforest is an absolute pain especially if you run a non compatible plugin. Don’t get me wrong I love this theme and the updates recently have been great but I no longer want to manually have to min files, make css,js files async etc etc,with this in mind please please please can we have a tool that imports/replaces adrotator as I really don’t want to go through 800+ posts to change a shortcode…
thank you in advance and keep up the good work
One way of doing it is like this, first an empty row with a background image set and some padding (set the padding values as you want)
– http://prntscr.com/mhqr1t
Then add another row below it, and set a negative margin top to it (I used -150px you can use the value you want) – http://prntscr.com/mhqrst
In that second row I recommend to use a flex block which has more settings, and a similar design like the demo can be achieved with it
– http://prntscr.com/mhqse9 – http://prntscr.com/mhqsk6
You can customize the flex block in many ways further, it has many options. In the demo block 5 is used with additional CSS, but the same can be resulted with a flex block.
is there a special code I have to add in the css?
I like how it looks with the contruct demo.
Hi. To what extent can the child-theme be used? … I try to create custom blocks through td_config.php, custom functions through td_module.php in the child-theme and none of this has any effect. Always look in the parent-theme. Any ideas on this? Any ideas on how to create the styles so that in the td_composer mode, playing something from the iframe.css (in the rd composer plugin), you see the blocks live something similar to how it will look in the final edition? Any ideas about this? Thank you!
I see that I can do it using MEDIA LIBRARY. Will try that. My hope is that my home page will load faster. Still, don’t understand why theme is not generating this… is it a bug? Bad design? Or is something on my server/css/site theme settings wrong?
Site: VeteransToday.com
Newspaper Version: 9.2.2
PHP: 7.1 (ea-php71)
CDN: CloudFlare.com
Cache Plugin: WP-Rocket
I ran GTMetrix report for my site
https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.veteranstoday.com/orr3ZYqj
Site is loading at 5 seconds (71 requests).
Should be around 2.5 seconds.
The big issue for site speed seems to be home page is loading full size images and NOT scaled images to fit.
EXAMPLE: https://www.veteranstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/SPV_Germany-FM.jpeg is resized in HTML or CSS from 1600×1045 to 218×142. Serving a scaled image could save 51.2KiB (98% reduction).
We have same problem on article pages too.
Do I have some theme/server/css setting off?
Or is this a known theme bug?
Please advise asap
Charles
Hello,
“– All rows and columns have width settings. So in page and cloud templates where you can use the tagDiv composer, you can have custom widths.”
Yes in PAGE, not in POST
“- Regarding this gutter, I don’t exactly understand what it is supposed to do.”

“– The post title in cloud templates has padding and margin settings, all elements in the tagDiv composer have this in the CSS tab”
Yes in PAGE, not in POST
“– Regarding the reviews, you could create a review … Most if not all the elements can be saved once configured and re-used.”
Yes in PAGE, not in POST
“– For what element would you like to chnage the image size? Maybe there is a way.”
If I change the Content/Sidebar ratio to 75%/25% and the container width like this
.td-container{width:1114px !important;}
.td-pb-span8{width:75% !important;}
.td-pb-span4{width:25% !important;}
like you take a pre-sized image as Featured Image, this one will not have the correct width so I will need a new Featured Image size to fit the new content div size.
And I cannot use a CSS resizing because the Featured Image selected is smaller than the new content width, so it’s will be an enlargement CSS resizing who always provide a blurry outcome
“There are plans to add a scrollbar to the composer element list in coming updates.”
Great !! Thanks a lot, that will be very appreciated 😉
“The theme has predefined ad spots …”
Really you need to make a little survey of your competitors about that, your Ads system is really outdated and inefficient.
-No shortcode ad
-No default ad per category
-No Post ad override
-No Campaigns manager
-No Banners manager
-No Ad Blockers Fallback
“While the theme is compatible with the Woocommerce plugin, it doesn’t have specific settings for it like other themes that are built with this in mind. If you want to set up a shop and have questions let me know.”
I do not ask to Newspaper to be like Porto or Flatsome but some templates for it will be welcome. Do not forget that not all Newspaper build a website for the glory, they want also make money. It’s a little annoying to add a lot of “add_action” and “add_filter” into the functions.php just for some Woocommerce customisation.
Newspaper is real good theme, I like the Demos, his stability, but in one year I do not notice a significative evolution of his functionalities.
-No Header builder.
-No Footer builder.
-A non interactive Reviews system (readers can’t write their own reviews).
-A outdated Ad system.
-No Social Media Auto Publish.
-A complicated way to add Custom Posts.
-No dissociation between Custom Posts and Taxonomies.
-No Featured Image thumbnail in the POST list.
-No Smart Thumbnail Generator (choose the point of interest of the image).
Ok we can do all that with external plugins, but as you know more external plugins you have, more bugs you get. All this functions build by the Theme builder will work better than external ones.
Your builder is great but we do not build a new PAGE everyday, but POSTS !
Best Regards
Nexus
Hi,
Those options are available only on flex blocks -> https://www.screencast.com/t/093GsFvO
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/IP1MyRAKoTx
If you want to change the category background color for others blocks you can use custom css -> https://www.screencast.com/t/FLJZl5suEM2
Thank you!
Thanks for the fast reply, unfortunately this doesn’t seem to be working. I did put the code in the theme panel css section as told, the menu on my mobile device is still blank.
Website: https://www.fitleague.co
Hello!
I am not sure I was understood. What I need is to set a vertical image (30px height) on the top of the menu on each page of website covering a part of the logo:

I suppose there is not such option in the admin settings, so I tried the css below, but no image is displayed:
.body
{
background: url(http://...) repeat-x top center;
color: #131313;
}
Could you please further advise?
Thanks!
Each paragraph (p tag) will have a margin bottom set by the theme. The theme uses a value of 26px
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NYhsRZKH8N
A default WordPress theme adds a 4.5em margin between paragraphs
– https://www.screencast.com/t/pNga3A77jVWm
To modify this default margin there is no setting at the moment. If a setting specifically for this is requested more by theme users it will be added.
However it could be done with a simple code in the Theme panel->Custom CSS section, with the value you want in it. For example this code will set a margin bottom of 15px to all the paragraphs in the post content
.td-post-content p {
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
Regarding the images, what exactly is happening? Where are the images not loading? A link to where the problem is happening would be most helpful. Let me know.
Hi,
I think that the easy way to have the custom title set to center will be to change the header template, or if you want to keep that header template you can use a custom css
https://www.screencast.com/t/GXhURKEuo
Set the code in Newspaper>theme panel>Custom code>Custom css
.td_block_template_8 .td-block-title {
text-align: center;
}
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
Hi,
Please replace the above custom css that I give you with this one
.woocommerce ul.products li.product, .woocommerce-page ul.products li.product {
height: 350px;
}
.woocommerce ul.products li.product .woocommerce-loop-product__title {
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: 600;
}
.woocommerce .td-pb-row .products a.button,
.woocommerce .td-pb-row .products .button:active {
position: absolute;
top: 88%!important;
right: 10px;
}
https://www.screencast.com/t/EJR4iOISs
Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
Hi,
If you are not using the mobile theme, then the answer is yes, you can shot the top bar on mobile version using some custom css
Enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS section, then the top menu will appear on mobile.
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu,
.td-header-top-menu-full,
.td-header-sp-top-menu {
display: block!important;
text-align: center;
}
.td-social-icon-wrap{
display:none;
}}
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/PAimTvZ18O
Also here is our documentation for top bar -> Top bar templates
Thank you!
Hi,
This is happen becous the ad position, but, you can add a custom css for mobile theme
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/6CIy8AfkV here is the code
.td-search-wrap {
margin-top: 100px
}
Add the code in Newspaper>Theme panel>Mobile theme>Custom code>section css -> https://www.screencast.com/t/BdTopIAY
Thank you!
For smart list style 3 it’s possible to remove the numbering with a simple CSS code, with no modifications in the code – http://prntscr.com/mha2n9
This code will remove the number and align the list titles to the left
.td_smart_list_3 .td-sml-current-item-nr {
display: none;
}
.td_smart_list_3 .td-number-and-title {
padding-left: 0;
}
Hi,
Those options are available only on flex blocks -> https://www.screencast.com/t/093GsFvO
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/IP1MyRAKoTx
If you want to change the category background color for others blocks you can use custom css -> https://www.screencast.com/t/FLJZl5suEM2

Hi,
Thank you for your suggestions, feedback from our users is most welcome. I could add a few things.
– Indeed a general switch for making the website boxed does not exist at the moment.
– All rows and columns have width settings – http://prntscr.com/mh9fwf
So in page and cloud templates where you can use the tagDiv composer, you can have custom widths.
– Regarding this gutter, I don’t exactly understand what it is supposed to do.
– The post title in cloud templates has padding and margin settings, all elements in the tagDiv composer have this in the CSS tab – http://prntscr.com/mh9i4p
If this is not what you meant please correct me.
– Regarding the reviews, you could create a review configured as you want and save it, then re-use it – http://prntscr.com/mh9jb9 – http://prntscr.com/mh9jra
Most if not all the elements can be saved once configured and re-used.
– For what element would you like to chnage the image size? Maybe there is a way.
You can use cloud post templates, these can be customized in almost very aspect
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here you can experiment with cloud templates designed by us (preview and edit), there is also a blank template if you want to design your own
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
There are plans to add a scrollbar to the composer element list in coming updates.
The theme has predefined ad spots, also you can use ad boxes from the composer to place them in various locations. The theme ad capabilities are simple however, for more advanced ad management some users use the Adrotate plugin with the theme.
While the theme is compatible with the Woocommerce plugin, it doesn’t have specific settings for it like other themes that are built with this in mind. If you want to set up a shop and have questions let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
I think you want to change the space between menu and first block on the page ( https://www.screencast.com/t/eTK3az8O ) if is so then you’ll need to set on the first row the margin top ‘-48’ https://www.screencast.com/t/fWpleU759Jw
Using css -> https://www.screencast.com/t/poM2zmAyHJ
If you have other questions, please let me know!
Thank you!
Hi,
Here is the custom code for load more button -> https://www.screencast.com/t/BLeMpaj62x
from style section you can set the font on load more button -> https://www.screencast.com/t/UcuVTBfjc1
.td_flex_block_5 .td_ajax_load_more{
width: 100%;
}
Just add the code in Newspaper>theme panel>Custom code>Custom css and all FlexBlock 5 will have the load more button with full width.
Thanks.
