And, of course, you need to test with advertising *off* … as that will generate massive amount of errors from bad cookies, missing CSS, https mis-match, etc. — Google very bad at auditing compliant ad units.
In fact, on one of our sites it was so bad, recently I switched all ads to ‘text only’ from Adsense as they were seriously loading bad content crashing the page or causing 5 second loading timeouts, or freezes half way down the page.
Well, mine is 90+ without a caching plugin and not fully optimized since moving from 2x to 3x.
You might look at my long-winded tutorial in the ‘best of forums’ section, as I cover many tricks for optimizing the site – from the basic htaccess stuff, various WP optimizations for wp-config.php, removing google fonts and using system font-stack, switching to local avatars, not using social ‘likes’ tracking, removing unused CSS not used (e.g., woocommerce, bbpress, if not using them); minification of main css and js manually; using a lazy load YouTube plugin to show thumb, and only load video when clicked (won’t work on featured vids outside post); limit modules used ‘per post page,’ to limit PHP calls; make sure using php 5.6 or higher with opcache ‘on’; changing default thumbnail image compression to make images as compact as possible for thumbs; etc.
It is doable. If you have gzip/deflate on, time to live extensions, opcache, and limit external loading, you should at least be 65 as baseline. Anything below that shows serious issues unrelated to theme.
Hi,

I would like to change the hard black tags in a lighter shade of the Theme Accent Color, for a more balanced look.
They are not in Tagdiv Composer > Theme colors. Should this be done somewhere in CSS perhaps?

Thank you.
Hello,
To darken the prev/next, add following code to custom CSS:
.td-next-prev-wrap a{border:1px solid #000000;}
you may change #000000 to whatever color you want.
Thank you for your understanding.
Did you change the default colors with theme panel or css? Maybe put back to default.
Theme doesn’t control your basic HTML elements like that. If there is existing CSS conflicting, simply add your own custom css to manage a custom use, as in your ad unit.
You can’t control anything inside an iframe being loaded from external source as the “elements” inside the iframe are all controlled by THAT content being loading into the iframe container.
You can try doing normal CSS?

Hello, please tell me how to remove the style of the demo theme in the code? https://mafia.one/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/demos/video/demo_style.css?ver=7.7
Greetings team,
I have a small issue regarding the Left Border of the theme.
It is always different then the rest of the grid line as you can see in the screenshot. Last time I know you guys gave me a CSS code to hide it, but with the latest major .4 version it does not work anymore.
I tried also to modify it from the TD Composer (Border Style – none and Border Color – transparent) – no success.
I don’t know what’s the cause for this (it’s been like this for a long time) but I was wondering if you can help me.
This is the screenshot: https://ufile.io/eg8ch

Thanks so much!

Is there a way to change td_module_1, to other module? http://prntscr.com/h8t4z7
If we can change it, it will automatically change thumbnail size and then we can use css if needed.
Also why I’m not able to create new ticket or my own question on forum?
Hi, I made some changes to style.css and td-login-modal.php for social login feature. I didn’t create child theme as I heard it could make the site slow and made the changes directly on the default theme.
Just wonder is theme update automatic and how often it gets updated? I need to make updates manually every time theme gets updated. thanks!
Hi,
These days i’m working on my website and i noticed that a weird rectangle started showing up in the middle of the posts. Today i asked for google adsense code and maybe that is the reason why, but i doubt since i didn’t get any notice from google.
Just to mention that i only have custom css on my website for changing colors of the links.
My website is http://www.10thingslife.com
I notice that the search ICON is in white.. how to fix this with css? like the menu – missing…
Hi,
@Dmitry_Lupich I see that you are using the Newsmag theme. There was an issue with the background ad functionality in version 4. So it would be bets if you update the theme, the problem is fixed in the latest version
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Or if that is not possible for you at the moment, a quick fix would be to enter this code in Theme panel->Custom CSS section
.td-ad-background-link #td-outer-wrap {
cursor: pointer;
}
.td-ad-background-link #td-outer-wrap .td-main-content-wrap {
pointer-events: none;
}
.td-ad-background-link #td-outer-wrap .td-main-content-wrap .td-container {
pointer-events: auto;
}
.td-ad-background-link .td-header-container,
.td-ad-background-link .td-container {
cursor: auto;
}
The background ad should work after you enter the code. Maybe clear all caching after doing this.
Thanks
Hello abhishek.jec2009,
Ensure that you are using the latest theme version and make sure that you have followed all the steps from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine. If you want to read other views from our users, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
One of our top members here on the forum wrote his own optimization tutorial here:

Basically, these are the theme requirements

Thanks for your understanding!
Thank you,
your code doesn’t work but I solved using that custom CSS code:
.td-health .td-header-wrap .td-header-main-menu {
background-color: #219ed3!important;
}
.td-health .header-search-wrap .td-icon-search {
color: #ffffff !important;
}
.td-health #td-top-mobile-toggle i {
color: #ffffff !important;
}
Last question, removing the theme what I will lose? And between removing theme and
CSS customizazion, wich is the site BEST/FASTER solution method?

Hi,
I believe you have made many modifications to the theme, with CSS. Maybe some of them are not made properly. By default then theme is responsive, but if there are modifications made, this could change.
I don’t know what exactly you want to achieve with this design, or what final look you are going for so I can understand better.
Maybe if you could provide some screenshots with this problem, and what you would like to modify, that would be very helpful.
Thanks
Hi,
Please do not post such export codes in the topic, it is causing problems to the forum functionality.
The Health demo you mention has custom design as all demos have, in this case including a background color set for the mobile menu bar by the demo. This would override the color you are trying to set through the theme panel.
A solution would be to remove this design choice from the demo stylesheet
– https://www.screencast.com/t/BrvYKagQOoEE
A different solution would be to use a similar code to change the background color
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KYHmMwX9K
This code has to be entered in Theme panel->Custom CSS section, if you decide to use it.
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-header-wrap .td-header-main-menu {
background-color: #219ed3!important;
}}
Let us know if you require further help, or you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
A code like this will remove the Shopping menu item, for product category pages and product tag pages
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DjxsD3WpBVIu
– https://www.screencast.com/t/oEpUrqH4r0mA
Enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS section and check if it is working properly
.woocommerce-page.tax-product_cat .menu-item-114113,
.woocommerce-page.tax-product_tag .menu-item-114113{
display: none;
}
Thanks
Good day. I need Your help. I added a social network Telegram and added in css:

Hello Ken0929,
You can put that code inside the Custom CSS because the theme will load it from there or if you want, you can add it directly in style.css. Notice that all of these involves additional customizations which are not covered by our support, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I could give you a code to remove the top padding below the main menu, and some of the container width, but this is highly not recommended. The theme width is predefined with or without background. This is meant to ensure that the page elements always display as intended.
The code you can experiment with would be like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/n23fT520z
– https://www.screencast.com/t/fkHjIsJdq
.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top:24px;
}
.td-boxed-layout .td-container-wrap {
width: 1116px;
}
.home .td-main-content-wrap {
padding-bottom: 24px;
}
Enter it in Theme panel->Custom Code->Advanced CSS in the desktop section, and check if everything works and displays properly.
Thanks
Hi,
First please move the code mentioned last regarding the width and margins, in Theme panel->Advanced CSS in the desktop section. It creates issues on smaller devices, I forgot to mention this.
I see that you have set a background image for the header. If you would like the background to be centered at all times, add this to the code

Thanks
