Hey,
Simion referred me to this forum for help.
I’ve used the “Travel” demo (installed it), but not everything is replicated as in your demo. For the most part, it’s all good, but I’m having issues replicating the following aspects of the homepage:
1. Header background image – I used a background image for Header in Theme Panel, but it doesn’t show up. How do I have a background image the same way you have it in Travel demo?
2. The first three (Big Grid?) most recent posts that are in the style of Photo Card. Cannot do that.
3. The 3-4 rows of the following posts, 3-columns with Category selection on the right and excerpts under each title. I’ve tried all 3-column blocks, but none of them are like that.
Also, a small issue that I’ve encountered:
4. For Pagination, I have “Load More” button and ‘Unique Articles’ is enabled on the Homepage. However, when clicking the “Load More” button, when new articles are loaded, some of them are the same as those above – so we get two rows of the same articles. Basically, ‘Unique Articles’ option doesn’t work. How do I ensure that there are no duplicates on the Homepage?
Thank you for your help guys!

Installing the theme like the demo is very easy, you can do it yourself, what you have to do is to go to dashboard, then install demos from newspaper tab. In the install demos page you will see all the demos listed with their thumbnails. At the bottom of each thumbnail you will see install button, you might want to toggle on or off the demo content import just beside the install button depending on your choice.
If you still need help, let me know. You dont have to pay anything.
Where do I hire someone to install theme exactly as seen in the live demo?
I’m sure this is a regular question.
Dear Tag Div team,
I am just starting with your theme, so sorry if this is naive. I am a bit confused with two Visual Compisers (js and yours) working together and I am struggling with setting up site width as well as row background colors.
Please look at the screenshot: https://snag.gy/E3KpkH.jpg
1) I would like to have the black background applied to the header and main grid only. Therefore, I want 1) to be white. In order to do this, I changed the background colour in Theme Options. But now 2) is also white. Normally, I would use WP Bakery Visual Composer to stretch rows and content and apply black background to it. But sadly it does not work. Can you advice?
2) Where do I change the global width of the website?
Thank you!
Hello.
I have a problem with my home page.
Suddenly WP in “modify the home homepage” shows me only half of my widgets.
It had already happened last week. Suddenly it stopped working correctly. Believing it was a bug of the WP Bakery Visual Composer PRO plugin, I tried to install another Composer but half of my home page was still invisible during editing.
I then updated the theme by switching to 8.6.
I also changed the subject by choosing a new default demo.
Then I created a new homepage from scratch.
Everything worked perfectly and properly, even though with the 8.6 version, the Tag Div Composer plugin arrived with it.
Although I had 2 layout plugins, everything worked fine.
I customized the homepage by placing the widgets, but without changing the titles that were based in English (even if from the template I selected the “Italian” language in the translation).
Today I opened my wall, I selected “edit the homepage” to be able to manually translate all the titles of the widgets but, again, suddenly, the template displays me only half of my homepage so I can’t edit or even delete all the widgets that are positioned under the Social buttons (there is a central area with the latest articles, a sidebar and under, the instagram widget, below the footer).
I no longer see either the content area, nor the sidebar nor the instagram widget or the footer bar so, I can’t modify them in any way.
I tried to uninstall the TD Composer plugin but nothing changed. I also uninstalled WP Bakery Page Builder and then installed it again. I emptied the chache, but nothing.
I no longer have access to the final area of my homepage.
Where have it been placed?
What can I do to view it again?
Hi,
The demos still have the same implementation, the black demo is supposed to be black. If you have it installed, the change in the code you mention will change most of the demo elements to the color you set

If the modification is not applying, maybe it is caching, try clearing any installed cache.
Thanks
Hi,
The easiest way would be to install the demo with content, gradually replacing it with your own. Start from the top for example, with the logo, menus etc. Configure the blocks and widgets on the page to display your own content
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Customize the footer as well. Content in blocks and grids can be filtered and sorted as you wish, random is one of the sorting options available.
The header style used in the demo does not have a limit for the logo size, any image can be used. However the demo uses a logo of this size
– https://www.screencast.com/t/GLOiEOrHN
With a background color set in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/5iGj1wIh
This creates the effect of a full width logo, you can use a single wider image or create a similar effect.
Those icons are created specially for this demo. They are added like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/9WQGW16Lmc
When you will replace the header menu with your own, they will not be visible anymore. You could add your own icons like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-add-icons-in-menu/
All the modules have settings for font customization, in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/font-customization/
Article titles, excerpts fonts can be modified in the theme fonts settings. For example the Must Read block is a block 5, this is the module it uses

Please let us know if you have further questions or you need help with something.
Thanks
I tried to use craft ideas install demo, but after install 8.6, the panel theme just crashed and I couldn’t use anything more.
Hello Sirs. I have more then 20 entries (subcategories) in my main category which make it impossible to display them in a single column dropdown. I want to make it a 4 column layout which covers the whole screen and shows 5 entries in each column of it. I saw you have something similar but with Visual Composer which is not available for me. I want something similar to TRAVEL label from this site: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/
Can you please explain me how to do it?
Hey there,
is there any way to create a grid with columns in posts? Like this: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/grid-columns/
Usually Iam using bootstrap for it. But afaik its not working on the newpapers theme.
Thank you
I tried using the instruction from another recent post in changing the background of my dark demo to being white as you can see here , but it didn’t change the color. Still black
Hello. These questions are specifically for the Craft demo theme which I would like to use.
– Would you recommend installing the demo with full content or no content before making changes to it? Or would you recommend starting from complete scratch?
– How to stop randomized posts on front page?
– What should be the size of the banner for full width and height? (Basically so that my banner fills the entire yellow space)
– How to modify or delete the menu icons?
– How do you change the font of texts title and posts that are on the front page? (I’m changing the font but it doesn’t appear on front page, it only appears once I click on the actual posts themselves)
That’s all for the moment, thanks!
I’m starting to transfer my Newspaper site to a new host and the newest version of the theme. I have a fresh install of WordPress 4.91 and version 8.5.1 of the theme, and I’ve installed the Local News demo content. I haven’t imported any of my own content yet.
When I try to launch TagDiv Composer I get a slew of PHP errors, starting with Warning: fopen(/home/millston/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/templates/font-awesome.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/millston/public_html/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/tdc_main.php on line 393
In case it has any bearing, I’m working in a sub-directory in a dev area, e.g. http://beaver.sibername.com/~millston/
Hi,
A contact page is a normal page, you can build it with the tagDiv composer. Check the live demos for some inspiration if needed, some of them here

Hello,
The footer in the new multi-purpose plugin can be set as a whole page. You basically create a page and set it as a footer. That is how the footer in the smart app demo has been created. https://www.screencast.com/t/MNADsc6sRyjz
Thank you!
Hi,
There are some sliders you can use, like these ones
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/
Also the Revolution slider is included in the theme package
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/
These would be the sliders to choose from, at the moment.
Thanks
Hello,
Please provide your website URL so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. Make sure that your theme has been installed via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case. If the problem is still there, I suggest you make a new clean install and import the demo again. If you will check our Black version review you will see that the background posts are black, like this -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_black/td-post-things-to-look-for-in-a-financial-trading-platform/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello madanyadlapati,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you like the border style to your pages, right? Also, I notice that you are using such a custom CSS code to add this to your page but please notice that is not a simple task doing this. This task involves doing such customizations in order to achieve good results and notice that we cannot provide something like this at the moment, sorry! If you like this effect, you can try using our Newsmag theme because this one has implemented by default these borders as you can see in our demo preview here -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The theme is compatible with all these browsers, so there should not be any issues. Try to test the theme live demo on the same browsers
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
We will inspect the website if you could provide a link.
Thanks
Hi guys!
I finally updated to your new 8.5 theme and I love some of the added elements!
I was just having some trouble with a few of them and I have searched the forums and watched the video but can’t find any fixes yet!
First off how exactly do I create the unlimited footer that all the new demos seem to have?
Secondly with how did you link the company name on this testimonial https://prnt.sc/hvucj1
And then how is the founded in smaller on the construction demo like so: https://prnt.sc/hvucvj
And I was also wondering if there were ways when I add text to the new elements it won’t let me bold, italicise, link or even make a next paragraph.
And finally with the new team member element is there a way to link an email address? As I had already similar ones on my website and this would make it much easier if there is…
I’m sure I’ll have more questions but those are my first ones!
Thanks so much guys and Happy New Year!

Hello! Tell me why when you open new pages and categories, constantly changing weather in the widget? This happens in your demo theme as well as on my website.
Hello,
Sorry but our theme does not have this kind of functionality. There is a big grid slide available if you need sliding grids: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m not sure what you mean. The same menu is found on our official demo: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_black/
The sticky menu is not equal to the main menu because of the logo. It will shift a bit to the left so the logo can be displayed inline with the menu.
Thanks.
Hi,
Creating a similar layout as the demo would not be difficult. The element on top is a News ticker element, simply add it on the page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/wPokMEG9s1E
This is followed by a Big grid 1
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
World news block is a block 1
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Travel guides is a block 15
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-15/
That is followed by two blocks 2
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-2/
This is a guide to help you configure the blocks and grids
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
All the demos are based on default elements, additional custom design is added in some cases. This design will apply when installing the demo
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks
Hello,
The category tag is there: https://www.screencast.com/t/m7ZmQbSF but you use a different block than the one on our demo. Different blocks show the category tag differently.
Please check this list: https://www.screencast.com/t/BwzZBVMHCf
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Thank you!
