By the way one more question:
4- How to change “Continue” button in blog pages of default template to “Read more ->” words as in your default demo? When I see it in translation section, it has both values. So I guess I can change it from somewhere but I couldn’t find 🙂
Hi there,
First of all thanks for this great theme. I love it! I am trying to learn it from scratch so I didn’t install any demos yet for the sake of creativity. I use tagdiv Composer which I find great for my kind of work. Naturally I have a couple of questions, if you may answer. 🙂
1- Can I select the category tag colors as hover colors in modules and/or grids? I am trying to get a clear color code for my categories which can be seen here : http://stilltune.com/home/
I added a block with custom title background color for my Music Theory category. It shows up exactly as I want. But as you may notice the Big Grid 9 above inherits the general accent color for categories. Can I show my category tag colors there as hover colors? Because I will have more categories and that Big Grid showing always the same main accent color for hovers would seem a little bit confusing regarding my category color coding. Now I have selected a category tag color for this category too but it doesn’t affect those hovers. It doesn’t even affect that block’s filter choices. I had to enter the block color manually. I guess it only shows up in beside block titles as tag colors, right? I couldn’t see it anywhere else. I found category tag colors a little bit confusing because of this. Maybe a category color concept would be much better? Because main accent color seems to interrupt this color code concept. So what can I do for this? (An example of what I want for that Big Grid can be seen in this demo’s top slider. http://demo.mekshq.com/voice/ Little category tags inherits category tag colors there so that category colors would be consistent everywhere in the theme)
2- Although my Meta Info in Theme Panel/Block Settings/Meta Info on Modules are all open, I cannot see the dates and authors in Module MX26 and MX25 like in a SS you shared in someone else’s forum posts (https://www.screencast.com/t/AQN4wjCydN) Do I need to change something else or add custom css codes for this?
3- I want to see all module names in grids and blocks. Do you have any guide or cheat sheet for them?
Finally one suggestion if I may 🙂
I think Modules and Grids should be edited in detail via tagdiv Composer. I may want to show meta info in one of them but I may not wanna show it in another. But when I select meta info on modules it affects them all. So maybe that edit section of tagdiv composer should be a little bit more detailed. Because otherwise we should enter css manually and the whole concept of “No coding required” is ruined 🙂
Thanks in advance, have a good day

https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_recipes/
On the larger screens (ie; 1600×1200 screen resolution) there is blank dead space right above the top bar/menu which is black in the demo url above and displays the weather, date, etc.
What is the best way to get rid of the dead space, and make sure the top bar/menu is properly displayed all the way at the top… ?
I have added a demo and now I am editing things as I need
I am unable to remove social icons count on the first page here http://architectmonthly.com – How should I do it
Please help!
Hello,
Yes, there are supposed to be pictures in your install. They will be present in the media library when imported.
The main reasons for a demo not being installed properly are as follows:
1) memory allocation: please make sure you follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
2) mbstring – Make sure you have it active on your host: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6658561/how-to-enable-mbstring-from-php-ini depending on host you can contact your host provider to ask about mbstring activation as some have restricted access to php extensions.
3) plugins – Please try to disable all plugins and clear all caching before attempting to install a demo.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hi,
I am assuming that you are referring to the ajax filter displayed on top of the blocks
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1AuaLIJTAc
This will display information based on the available selection you choose in each of the block settings. There is no option to enter additional information in that field, it is an automated process that can only work with the options it currently has.
Here you can find more about block settings and options
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Blocks can display the titles you choose, and there is a particular block header style that would allow something like you want
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-13/
– https://www.screencast.com/t/yRIkfSdIyh
Please correct me if I misunderstood what you were asking.
Thanks
Hi,
Why do you think I write here? Logical use is known to me. I did all of this and the theme misses all those pictures and so on.
Can you please answer my question and tell me how the contents of the demo folder has to look like? Then I can compare and see if there are files missing.
So are there supposed to be pictures inside or not?
I installed exactly as the theme needs to be installed, so if it is not there, it is missing…..
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Equinoctium,
Sorry for this inconvenient but I think that you have not correctly installed the Demo. First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest theme version installed via FTP way and then, try to import the demo with content in your case according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I believe this is a huge misunderstanding. There are two composers that are included in the theme package, and you can use each one to create your website
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
You do not need to buy the Visual composer plugin, simply install it and use it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
However you should consider using the newly introduced tagDiv composer, future updates will include more features exclusively for this page editor
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
You also have the option to install one of the many available demos, so you will not have to start from scratch
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/demos_introduction/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
All the theme available features can be seen here
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
The theme documentation is found here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
Also for any problems or questions you can always post a topic here on the forum, and we will try our best to help you.
If you feel that the theme is not suited for your purpose, you can request a refund and we will approve it.
Thanks
Hi,
You can chose a different block if you would like to have a Read more button. These are the blocks that currently have this option
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-24/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-23/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-22/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-20/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-13/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-12/
The excerpt length can also be controlled in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
The font properties for the post title displayed on modules can be customized in general, or by module
– https://www.screencast.com/t/4U8nGJja
The excerpt can also be customized here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Hg1gpyb2Yvo
For the color of the title and excerpt for that block, you can try a code like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/izroDIlXVtR
.td_block_4 .td-module-title a{
color: #bf0c00;
}
.td_block_4 .td-excerpt {
color: #000;
}
Just enter it in Theme panel->Custom Css section. If you would like it to apply for all then blocks, remove the block class from the beginning of the code.
Thanks
Hi,
I have a question. I am new to the theme but it seems great. The one thing I need to do is to change the word/s in the meta of posts in the blocks – on individual basis. For instance – in the demo (I populated it with default demo settings and content) in the main (first) block there are several posts featured, and above headlines we have – TRAVEL, RECIPES, FASHION… All names of the categories or sub categories.
But I would need to write a word or two on post basis (some tag or something, a custom phrase) and that to show instead category name. For instance – EXCLUSIVE or SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT and then below it headline.
Please, could you help me with that, it is very important to have the ability to write that on per post basis. Is this what you solve with custom taxonomy plugin?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Igor
Hello,
1) All caching needs to be cleared
2) If you do not know what a cdn is, most likely you do not use it so ignore that part
3) make sure ALL of the entries here are green and in the recommended parameters: https://www.screencast.com/t/2BVUGuuO3p
Your demo did not get through intact from our server. If you still cannot install a demo, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will investigate the issue.
Thanks.
Are the demos supposed to have NO pictures in the folder?
How can I see if my package is incomplete, same error as another user, when installing a demo, the picture, thumbnails and many other things are missing….
So if there should be pictures inside, then it is clear I received an incomplete version of the theme yesterday from Envato Market.
Well well well…..
is it normal that the demo folders do not contain any pictures? No wonder they are not getting installed, I guess the same is then for the thumbnails and icons? Could the download-package been incomplete or broken?
Hi Catalin,
You replied in your email you completed the activation, however 2 hours later after you did I logged in and the activate this them message was there again. Wth???? How is this possible???
Did you try to fix the other error i have, i cannot install a demo theme completely as it only installs half of it, no pics and so on. As described in my email. So I thought must be this as you are probably experimenting around to get that working. ???
Situation now is not changed, so I cannot activate nor can i install the demo. 🙁
Another question, any plugin you can recommend for the maintaining of admin and user accounts as the default has not much options. I like to have the it logged so i can see who logs in and out and does what, like a main admin who has admins under his control. I gave my 3 partners an admin account to go in there as well to learn working with the theme and help to design it how we want. Perhaps something went wrong, is that possible and if yes is there any log file i can check and see that?
Thanks for your assistance.
Hope we get it fixed soon. So i can start filling my website with content.

Hi,
In pages there is pagination for the Latest articles section, when the required page template is selected
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
This section is always located at the bottom of the page
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Each block also has pagination like this available
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ie46Wrjlr
More information about the available block settings and options here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks
Hi,
The theme reset will remove all the theme panel settings, and the content of an installed demo. But I don’t know how a theme panel setting could prevent the restriction form appearing on the post page, if you are absolutely sure that the plugin configuration is set according to it’s instructions. And it worked before.
You could revert to the previous theme version, to have a working website with this feature, and make more tests with the new version. Make a fresh install by FTP, install only these required plugins and test. Maybe some other plugin is causing all these problems.
Thanks
Hey there! Nice and well known theme…I love it!
Unfortunately I am stuck at the moment. I am trying to place a banner like in your preview: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_college/
If you make the screen smaller, the image adjusts and shrinks.
On my site: https://www.prehoga.de/
If I shrink the screen, the image stays in size but gets cropped so you can just see the center.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Hello iMohitPahwa,
Please follow my advice because in that way you will re-create the same layout with our demo and also, in the future you will understand each element used there. Try to make a sub-domain at your website and install there the Gadgets Demo with the content but do not edit it because then, if you will switch up to another demo you will loose all of your data. You should only import that demo at your subdomain and separately create the same layout for your project. If you will check the Theme panel setting, there you will find the answers to all your above questions.
Thanks for your understanding and good luck.
Hi,
Please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Then check memory allocation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also you can ask the server for any blocked content from our server. Sometimes demos cannot install because of host firewalls blocking them.
Thanks
Hi,
Please provide more details about these Continue buttons or a link to your website where they are present, for a more accurate solution.
The header style that the demo is using does not have a limit for the header logo. You can set any logo size you want, and it will be displayed as it is. This is the case for header styles 9, 10 and 11
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/
Thanks
Hello, How can we improve the quality of the thumbnails, since after the update we have had that problem. We use the Gadget Demo
Hi,
1. That is an author box element, placed in the sidebar. Please go to Appearance->Widgets and customize the sidebar elements the way you want.
The author box will display the profile information of the corresponding user Id entered
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Bx9pxpvpZnZp
This Id can be found in different ways. Please follow this tutorial for more information about this, and also a forum topic
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-find-post-category-tag-comments-or-user-id-in-wordpress/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/author-box-5/
2. All the elements in the footer can be customized as well. The Instagram section can be disabled or customized here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/WuUfvAGqTcT
The footer template can be changed in the Footer settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/twMtQVnpoqX
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Some footer templates come with predefined content. This cannot be edited, you can only add content along the existing one. Other templates are blank, and depend on the content you enter in the footer sections.
3. If you activated the mobile theme (which is an optional plugin) then a predefined layout will be displayed for the homepage, post page etc. If you would like to display the same content from desktop on mobile devices, simply deactivate the mobile theme plugin. The theme is fully responsive and will adapt for best results.
More about the mobile theme here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
4. If you could provide more details about this it would be very helpful. That way we can better understand what exactly is not working for you with the menu. When the mobile theme is active you will have to set a different menu in the mobile theme section (appears when the plugin is active) of the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/z0SfQG6Bp
Menus on mobile are limited to drop-down menu style, there cannot be mega-menus on mobile.
5. You can edit the homepage with the tagDiv composer and add the content you want. This demo features the Revolution slider on top of the page, and a Latest articles section
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
The sidebar can be edited in the widgets section.
If you have a different problem please provide more details about it.
6. As it can be seen in the live demo, there are no sharing buttons near the slider
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_blog_baby/
Maybe those belong to a plugin that you have installed.
7. You could choose a different style for the Social counter
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/social-counter-styles-on-newspaper/
Thanks
Hi,
1. There seems to be very big padding value set, causing the blank space below the video
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HMc2ifaPW1E5
That padding does not come from the theme. Maybe you are using a plugin for the video, and that could be adding the Css there. This inline important condition cannot be overwritten. You could try a negative margin code like this, as a quick fix
– https://www.screencast.com/t/iwZvRhugqf
.page-id-111
.fluid-width-video-wrapper {
margin-bottom: -300%;
}
2. The Revolutions slider that is provided in the theme package does not need to be activated. Simply install it and use it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/
Sliders from the demos can be imported and used. They are included in the theme bundle.
3. I could not make any recommendations in this matter. You can try a few plugins and see which one may be the best for your website. Maybe other users can share their solution or plugin solutions.
You could try something as simple as this
