Hi
You can enable gzip compression to reduce the resource size loaded by the theme. For more detail in this regard you can check our page-speed documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Also minifing these resources by using cdn it may help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
We decided to keep all css/js code in single files to limit the requests made by the theme to server. For example if we divide the css in five files could appear some of these situations:
– on a simple page it may be required only one file which will be loaded very fast and its size it’s also very low. This is a good thing.
– on a complex page with many elements on it most likely will be required all five css files. That means five requests to the server instead of one. This may not be a big issue on sites with low traffic but if a site hit let’s say 10000 visitors per day this will be a big issue.
Thanks!
Hello all,
If you want to display the top-bar menu on your mobile version, you have to use a bit of CSS code to dod that. Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area. Also, please notice that the mobile menu will remain with the same structure because this is the own design for the mobile version and cannot be changed to be displayed as on desktop version, because it is not a simple task and require more additional customizations that involve custom work.
The code is ->
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu-full {
display: block!important;
}
.td-header-sp-top-menu {
display:block!important;
}
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
Try this css: http://screencast.com/t/pgp6C8U5ll
.td-affix .td-header-sp-logo, .td-header-style-7{
height: 106px!important;
}
.td-affix .td-header-sp-logo img{
max-height: 106px!important;
}
The code provided by Bogdan works fine as can be seen in this screen: http://screencast.com/t/ImhgoWQx1bSO Try to clear all caches then test the code again.
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan,
I want to mention here you take too much time in replay. According to your reply, I have just test your theme demo http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/, at the mentioned link. https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
But the soooooooo many problems as was in case of mine. Both for mobile and desktop.
You can also check directly from the above mentioned link as I am not sending screenshot with this message. I am mentioning some issues that are same for all the websites that are using newspaper theme.
The most important that needs removal immediately.
- Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content
- Size tap targets appropriately
There are several others but I am just talking about these two because I don’t know how to tackle & go through with it. Where JavaScript and CSS going to block & what is meant by above-the-fold content? Which tap needs adjustments?
I am mentioning something about me that I am Electrical Engineer and I’ve purchased another domain http://www.tycoonzit.com/, I’d just thought to purchase newspaper again to use it for this site too. But these issues looking huge problem with the theme? If there is any solution then please provide us as soon as possible. Especially the first one needs immediate attention.
I’m not posting it somewhere or themeforest except here, also I don’t want to give -ve reviews about newspaper. As, I know that this stage required so much effort that you’r team and you had made.
If possible then replay in today’s time.
Seeking for reply.
Regards

Hello menecez,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to change the position for Copyright because it is added on span element and if you try to change the parameters you can break the layout of the site, sorry! Also, if you are referring to decrease the distance between “Copyright Text” and sub footer menu, please notice that it is necessary to use a bit of CSS. Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area like this: http://screencast.com/t/RLXJQhdt
.td-sub-footer-copy {
width: 750px!important;
margin-top:-25px!important;
}
The result you should see here: http://screencast.com/t/ki6mKxjY
For more information about footer template, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Thanks.
Hello Andrei,
I am trying to re-create the Big Grid style with a developer but having trouble trying to find the right CSS.
We are trying to make Big Grid (Default) look like http://www.cnet.com but are not yielding great results.
Is there a way to remove one thumb from the overall Big Grid layout so we can change the dimensions ourself?
Also, when we change the width and height of each thumb, where do we make the relevant changes to adjust the thumbnails too?
Thanks
Hello paolom83,
If you want to create your own custom Big Grid, as my colleague Bogdan said you above, you will have to use the API method for this implementation and all the steps which are needed to take in this regard are presented in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/ Also, please notice that this is not a simple task and addresses only for ADVANCED USER that have a solid knowledge of PHP/HTML/CSS/JS. If you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment and also, the API implementation is not covered by our support, sorry!
Usually, we recommend the developers from studio.envato.com.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
You’ll need a specific css for your image in order to get the same effect as on the FA icon but I can’t say exactly how much code will be necessary. It depends by image aspect and the desired rezult. Could be enough two or three line of css or could be necessary a larger code, but I can’t guess how much.
Thanks!
Hello VoZz,
Now I understand what you mean, sorry for my misunderstanding! Unfortunately, as you can see, this is the behaviour of the theme for smaller devices as the image size will be stretched with a bit of CSS (width 100%), even if the quality of the image was loaded in the bigger one. Please notice that is not a simple task to change the structure of this block and if you want to change this, is required to do some additional customizations through code in order to achieve as you wish. This was our developer decision. Also, we work hard further for new improvements and in near future update maybe our developers will find some solutions in this regard but we cannot say for sure the date when this will be available.
If you want to display more levels in our theme and you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Maybe here for this I will try the “Top Menu” .. and use CSS and maybe jquery to get the functionality I am looking for. .. thanks for any input
I have nailed down pretty much everything to make the site more efficient. Any scans I run on the site come back green except for page weight. The CSS and JS files are over 1mb combined, even after they have both been minified. Has anyone had success in reducing the size of these files without breaking the site? Would it not make more sense for the developer to offer something similar to jquery UI where you can pick the parts you need and get a reduced file size.
I have a cache plugin and cloudflare to help, but at the end of the day 1.5mb is too big for a single page. I need to cut off the excess. Anyone else had and solved this issue?
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your response.
i) Yes. I’d like to have full size logo on scrolling. Please share css code for the same.
ii) CSS code that you have shared for 404 error page did not work. Kindly help with a updated code.
Best Regards,
George
Hi
I’ve checked your site again and now the thumbs are generated properly: http://screencast.com/t/aXUv3ePEAa The theme add a dark animation over each thumb displayed in big grid but you can use this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css to remove it: http://screencast.com/t/oer4LHMWdN
.td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
background: none!important;
}
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can use this code:
@media (max-width:767px){
.td-header-sp-top-menu {
display: block!important;
}
.td-header-top-menu-full {
display: block!important;
}
.td-header-style-8 .td-header-top-menu{
display:block!important;
margin-left:auto;
width: 100%!important;
}
.top-bar-style-1{
display: table!important;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
}}
Add this code in the theme panel->custom css box. http://screencast.com/t/bzS1a7P5
Thank you!
Thanks Cris, actually I’ve tried your DIY guide, some I was able to do, but some not, I’ll try again.
I’m having difficulty with css and Javascript minify, I’ve tried some plug-ins which performe this action, but they blocked some theme features like Ajax filters for example.
When hostgator turn on my website once again, I’ll check my website by GTmetrix.com what’s going on precisely, thanks for now!

Hi,
You cannot see the search icon as it;s not an icon at all but a font symbol. It’s added with css like so: http://screencast.com/t/FmduxVq1wzDc
This comes from the newspaper font in the image folder: http://screencast.com/t/bthMomG9CM
Thank you!
Hi,
If you want to remove the breadcrumbs on the homepage, you can use css to hide it:

Thank you!
Hello NP Comm,
I have tested to add a new block according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/ (practical example) and the block was loaded as expected -> http://screencast.com/t/ALXRbDTs. Please notice that the API implementation is not part of our support and as you can see there, and I want to emphasize that this method addresses only to ADVANCED USERS. In our documentation, you can find some hints if you want to create a custom module/block and please notice that for achieving that is required to have a solid PHP/HTML/CSS knowledge to accomplish that. Please notice that this is a complex method and if you are not aware of the steps which you are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
@Georoge
1) The header menu will make the logo fit the scrolling menu. Do you want to have the full size logo in the scrolling version of the menu?
2) you can use this css to remove the menu on a 404 page:
.error404 #menu-new-menu-1{
display:none!important;
}
3) This issue is caused by the plugin you use for the contact form. Please use contact form 7 as that is the tested plugin with our theme.
@Cybi
Please create your own topic when having support questions not related to the topic you post on. Your issue is very different. For some reason, your theme cannot find the index.php file. I think you are not installing the theme correctly or maybe the chilf theme. please follow this guide to properly install you theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hi
The editor was designed to have the same width with the post content on front-end. If your’re using sidebar the post content have 640px, so the editor have the same width. If you’re not using sidebar the post content have 980px and also the editor change width’s changes at this value. Basically the editor simulate the front end layout. You can make the editor full width by removing this code from editor-style.css file: http://screencast.com/t/vuVmd9PO – http://screencast.com/t/KI26VSAUnnO
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Edit editor-style.css file and change the font family for each element like in this example: http://screencast.com/t/wivuZEoo – http://screencast.com/t/07GYvfiwM7Z

Hi,
This is not a theme related issue, but a html responsiveness issue. You will have to edit your table element and make it responsive. Please check this link to see how you can do it:

Hi,
The top menu was hidden on mobile as a design choice. This was done with css so it can be activated. Please provide a link to your site so I can provide the proper code.
