1. That widget looks like a normal TagDiv slider pulling from a category or tag slug. You can find this in your widgets list. I don’t want to install the demo site and check but it’ll be something like that.

2. The block options, whether widget or in the visual editor, have a setting “show child categories menu” that you can check for this effect.

1. I haven’t seen a way, but it is a little flexible; it seems to crop a little when it executes the resize. The original demo images are not actually all the same dimensions before being resized, e.g.:

http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/DeskWalls-672.jpg

http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/DeskWalls-124.jpg

And the featured images on my site, which were all 960×540 from when I imported them to this WordPress install, are cropped pretty well in the big slider. Note that you might be facing an issue that there is some documentation on:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/

2. The homepage is a regular WordPress page that gets marked as the front page in the WordPress settings (under “Reading”). You could have the other pages look like it by editing the homepage, switching to classic mode, copying all the shortcodes you see there, and pasting those into a new page. Then switch to the backend editor on the new page and tweak from there.

Note that if you install the demo, it’s easy to delete the associated posts, pages, categories, etc.

Hi Cherry
you might want to keep ONE thread, vs starting three or more regarding your site and pagespeed. Basically if you get all the things updated already covered in your other two threads, then mobile speed will also increase.

Again, as I’ve noted previously, you can’t do anything about the external ads being served which impact speed. Not sure how you’re loading ads on a demo site anyway, frankly. You should turn ads OFF for testing your “actual” speed. So the “errors” for mobile for the javascript and images from Google ads and advertisement browser caching, are impacting your score but nothing you can address and are false positives vis a vis the site and theme.

You *can* minify the main .css file which is showing as NOT minfied, as we’ve already covered in your prior threads.
Minifying http://cherrykoks.de/…ntent/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=4.1 could save 7.1KiB (16% reduction) after compression.

And basically don’t use contact form 7 unless you actually need it. Since you don’t have a live site, why would you need somebody to contact you anyway at this stage of your playing with the theme and setup without actual content. If you’re planning to use that, then you could presumably add its css to bottom of the main style.css, then hack the plugin to not write its own CSS into the head of the theme; or this would be example of where — as you’d asked elsewhere — you would add the plugin to the speedbooster plugin code to get it dumped at bottom of theme and optimized.

And remember best to test a post page for score not home page, since most people do NOT land on a site home page, but “surf in” to content from a social media link/share, or search result page, etc. — home page will always be a trickier prospect since it’s not indicative of the rest of the site, using sliders, modules, more photos, ajax loads, etc.

Also be aware you cannot get a 100/100 score with a WordPress site running numerous photos, plugins, ads, social media hooks, etc. Only people who have accomplished this have done custom sites without images, using CDN, and custom coding to maximize above the fold content load separate from below the fold content.

If you get above 80 on mobile and above 90 on desktop, you can really get on with your life and worry about content and marketing.

Well the commenting out like here:

did not work for me, when I did this – I got a syntax error.

my googlefonts section in the functions.php looks like this:

thank Lord I made a backup 😀

thanks a lot, shashank you have 4 adsense units in homepage, I think that is against adsense TOs…. check it out. 🙂

When you set your permalink structure in the WP settings panel; it will write the proper code to your htaccess file for you, if the file is writable.

You have something funky with your pages, unless you’ve just been editing the demo content vs making new posts … e.g.,
this page

http://cherrykoks.de/allgemein/td_d_slug_44/

should be something like

http://cherrykoks.de/allgemein/name-of-my-story-goes-here/

So that is something wonky you should sort out soonest.

For the Google fonts; once you add the code for the fonts you want to your style.css file, you would delete or comment out the section on google fonts from the functions.php file. Search the forum for more on how to do that.

Video demonstration: http://youtu.be/rOFd4siBrXw

On the same category as the dropdown you’re looking at, both text and background of the dropdown are the same colour. What might cause this?

Hi Lucian,

I disabled all plugins but no change in the slider. When I do a side by side test with the demo the major thing is that it looks like the images on my site aren’t resizing to the mobile space but just for the slider area.. the images resize for the rest of the site tho.. weird issue.. not sure how to troubleshoot it.

Thanks for any help or advice you can give. I appreciate it!!

Obviously any customization not found in the online demos for the theme, might require hiring a custom programmer, or building out a custom category template.

But try this:
1) create category called “Tech”
2) in theme panel, go to “categories”
3) click on the accordion for “Tech” and look at the options (assuming you have not already); since you can add a slider, custom sidebar (you have to create one first), custom background color or image (like a techy background for tech, sporty for sports), and the layout of the story display.

I “think” you can use the full width sidebar widget option to create a custom category sidebar (e.g., sidbartech), and then put a full width custom element into that area. I’ve not yet tried that.

I am actually contemplating doing some things like this myself, which is why I thought to reply. Nice thing is you can play with it and not break anything 🙂

Strange are the ways of WP…

Thank you Christopher for the helpful direction and for demonstrating what an effective support answer might look like.

Following your lead and with a fresh start after (again) spending much to much time on a relatively simple issue I hope this is behind me…

Well, the first one is obviously irrelevant as that’s not the logo for your site, so just delete it. Clear your site cache so it can’t be seen. You obviously installed the demo content, which was then cached and hence why that is still found. If you upload your own logos, then the Newspaper logo shouldn’t show up on your site anymore.

FYI, useful to include the link to your GTMetrix report 🙂

I think the logo is loaded from the header and footer files, or a dependent file loaded by one of those and not in the style.css. So, if you look att the header.php script, then look at the different use cases for the layout option you’re using, you should be able to find the right header element…

e.g.,

    default:
        // this is the default header configuration
        // (logo + ad) + menu
        locate_template('parts/header-style-1.php', true);
        locate_template('parts/menu-header.php', true);
        break;

as so:

                    <a itemprop="url" href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>">
                        <img width="300" class="td-retina-data" data-retina="<?php echo htmlentities($td_customLogoR) ?>" src="<?php echo $td_customLogo?>" alt="<?php echo $td_logo_alt ?>"<?php echo $td_logo_title ?>/>
                    </a>

If I’m not mistaken width is specified implicitly to hint the page rendering, and then height is set as “auto” via the theme CSS, which is now common practice.

Hope that helped a little 🙂
