Well, I noticed that the demo has a background in the categories and then I went back to see my site and noticed a gradient appeared, but it disappeared again.
Hi,
1. Each demo has custom design besides what can be achieved with the default theme settings and options. The News magazine demo borders you mention, can be replicated by using the code from the demo stylesheet
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ALXxg5rPHx
– https://www.screencast.com/t/yPeiHq8vzZB
This might need additional modifications, to display properly. If you need further help I will help you.
2. If you are referring to the All text in the mega menu cannot be replaced with an icon by default, unless modifications are made in this file
– https://www.screencast.com/t/b0ia3iQp

3. The social icons will be displayed in the top bar and in the footer, according to the social accounts entered in the Social networks section

If you could detail what exactly you want to modify I will try and provide a solution.
Thanks
How do I get a simple drop down menu like on this page at the top? Forums-Newspaper or Newsmag I am using the travel demo and for Destinations, I simply want the All, Asia, USA, Europe I don’t want all the post content to load in the drop down menu. I want to be able to clink on the main heading- Destinations and go to that page. I want to be able to hover over it and get the drop down menu with the subcategories. Then when I click on the category, Asia, I want to be able to go to the Asia page. It’s too cluttered having all the posts load in the menu bar. I’ve tried everything in the tutorials. I do not know code so if I must change that, please be specific. Thanks so much!!
Hi,
Each block module used by the theme has a predefined thumbnail size. These thumbnails are created from the featured images you set for posts automatically
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
There is no option to modify these sizes, only by code modifications but that is not recommended.
Please try and use the grids and block that are available, each block is different and uses a different thumbnail
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
Thanks
Hi,
That should not happen, all the blocks have to function properly
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-19/
Please provide a link to your website here in the topic if possible, so we can take a look.
As a first step you can try deactivating all plugins except theme plugins, and clear any installed cache. Usually plugins are the cause for most issues. Or maybe if you made modifications to the theme files, or used custom code that might interfere with the theme functionality.
Thanks

Hello bwebb,
I have checked your website on Google Page Speed Insights and it seems to be very poor, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/LyBHMbUM https://www.screencast.com/t/agLqdztuD It seems that your website is not optimized, sorry!
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 to 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:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and here -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
Basically, these are the theme requirements
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If there are no errors present when installing the demo, then everything should work as intended. First select either you want to install the demo with content or just theme panel settings and style, and click install. The import process should work properly.
Please also check the permissions on your upload folder. More useful information here
– https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/
The second step is to make modifications to these parameters if needed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could ask your hosting provider to check these for you, or make the modifications for you if needed. They might have a recommended method in this matter.
Also disable all plugins and clear all caching before installing a demo to make sure the plugins do not interfere with the process.
If you have made all the above mentioned changes and the result is the same, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide all the necessary information (admin login, FTP access) and we will take a look. Also paste a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thanks
Hi,
Pages need to be built with the page editors, and the elements that are available not through template code modifications. Something similar to post template 8 is the Homepage post element
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-one-top-post/
You can place that on pages, and use the posts you want. This may be what you are looking for.
Thanks
Hi,
There seems to be an issue like you mention. This is not happening on the live demo of the homepage post however
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-one-top-post/
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information so we can investigate this issue further. Also paste a link to this topic in your email.
Thanks
Hi,
I see that you have set a background image at the moment, for the website. Each demo has it’s custom design, the black demo has a black background color set in it’s stylesheet, that is why the theme panel background color is not displayed
– https://www.screencast.com/t/xTfGopzORjZv
You could change that color directly in the demo stylesheet
– https://www.screencast.com/t/vEXGVrGe9Da
Or remove that condition entirely to allow the theme panel setting to be displayed

Thanks
Hi, so because of the issues with visual composer and tagdiv, I’ve had to move the newspaper theme onto a different site. I’ve installed the theme however when I try to install the demo content, it says installed but none of the prebuilt pages are there or none of the settings came in.
Hello
I want to add magazine demo background to the default demo
so the question is where to find the background?
Our page: http://www.exploiter.de
Good evening tagdiv team,
we wanted to try a boxed version of our website with a different background color. Originally we had used the “black theme” to start with, and changed everything to our needs on top of it with ease.
However now we’d like to change the background color plus the color of my pages in general.
When using the “background color” option under “theme colors” the new color wont update, but the site turns into the boxed version. Is there something holding it back from the demo we used to build upon?
Thank you very much in advance. We switched from the “Edition” theme to yours, and could not be more happy with the investment!
Hello friends,
I want to make a menu similar to the “Lifestyle” of https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/, with some categories on the left, and latest articles of that category on the right. I can’t seem to find out how.
Any help is appreciated!
Sorry but this is the content width of the theme:
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wordpress-news-magazine-charts-the-most-fashionable-new-york-couples-in-2016/
It cannot be enlarged as all the other theme elements depend on the theme width.
It is something we get lots of requests for and we are looking for solutions in this regard, but the theme was not built on a dynamic width. Sorry
Thanks.
At demo site https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/, I can see the article content will only display 3 lines as a brief.
But when I replace the article content with other language characters, it will display all the lines. How to control this?
Please see: http://www.ccstrategy.ca/
Hello,
I’d like to slightly modify what you have as the Don’t Miss component on the demo to include a “More” link for the category shown.
For example, when the user is viewing All, it will just show as More and will take the user to a page showing all of the posts tagged with the parent category.
When the user is viewing what you have as Style hunter, they will be taken to a page that shows all posts with the Style hunter category.
And so on for the rest of the categories shown. Please note that All (which shows the parent category and all child categories) should just say ‘More’ , whereas the child categories should ideally say ‘More [category name]’.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Hello,
It depends on what your data is and how it has been created. If you already had a demo installed with dummy data and you edited that dummy data and made it your own content, then it will get removed when switching demos. You will have top create copies of the posts as the copies will not get removed.
If this is not the case, you should install a demo without the dummy data and no content will get removed.
Thank you!
Hello,
Would like to know http://www.factstoday.in is my site.
I wish to install the demo provided by your theme and also not loose the data(news) already on site. What can be done?
Now as per your suggestion, I created a new page, added slider and the rest of stuff.
Here are few problems that I see:
1) If the title of post is a bit bigger, it runs over the category and author name. See here: https://snag.gy/7mvpcH.jpg
2) I have added recent posts block but the thumbnails aren’t showing up properly. Their size is so small. See here https://snag.gy/7mvpcH.jpg vs. Your Demo (https://snag.gy/rZRk2f.jpg)
The thumbnails are appearing properly on the homepage now, as the current homepage is just showing latest posts. Is there a way I could display similar style posts on static page? I have checked every single block template but didn’t find anything similar.
3) Why is widget title different on this static page? https://snag.gy/VaXoxU.jpg As compared to the rest of the website (https://snag.gy/gIpcQX.jpg)
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_craft_ideas/
How do I remove the background image and adjust the text “Read More” on the theme. I cant seem to find it and spent 2 days on it seeing if I can but I seem to be running in circles. If you can let me know where I can adjust the text, the removal of the background and the color of the text – that be great!
Greetings fellow Newspaperers,
I am rather new to WordPress, and I have this issue where my site and the WP-admin is lagging badly. It takes approximately 20s to 5 minutes to load each click.
Example: I click on Appearance > Themes. It takes around 1 minute to load. I am unable to do anything productive.
Here is what I have done so far:
Reinstalled WordPress via my cPanel.
Reinstalled the Newspaper theme.
Deactivated the Tech Demo.
Reinstalled WordPress again. After this it was fine. Each page takes no more than 5 seconds to load.
Reinstalled Newspaper theme. Still fine.
Activated the Tech Demo with Settings only. Lag starts again.
Deactivated Tech Demo again. Lag persists. I am trying to remove the lag.
What should I do? Are there any files in my public_html that I can remove, or manually delete to remove whatever the Tech Demo has done? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The background click ad is just a link over the image. The size of the background image itself should be at least 1920×1080
As for the posts it depends on the thumbnails you will be using. If you use large thumbs on your homepage, the post image should always be at least the size of the thumbnail as our theme only crops images, it does not enlarge them
If you use post templates with large images such as https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-lenovo-details-new-computers-that-could-be-heading-our-way-in-2015/ then you need larger images. If not, then an 800px width should be sufficient.
Thank you!
