Hi,
The breadcrumb should work as you can see on the demo everything is fine, you can disable some plugins and see if works, could be a conflict with one of them.
About the category order we will take a look.
Thank for the message!
Another bug I guess. Unique articles is a great feature and is one of the reasons I purchased this theme. However, if you set your homepage (or any page) like the demo did, with a block in the widget area to show latest posts, when you enable Unique articles, the LATEST block will be empty. Same in the tagdiv slide widget.
Of course you can use WP native Recent Post widget without problem.
I am not sure if any switch I should use?
(Newspaper 3.1.1, WordPress 3.8.1, XAMPP.)
Same here. Localhost installed, xampp, WordPress 3.8.1, English. No plugin except Animated Gif Resize and Revolution Slider. No speedbooster. Only demo posts. Please help.
The Next/Prev arrows, although are visible on desktop, they are not visible on mobile phones. Therefore, I can’t navigate to the next posts. Even your demo site doesn’t show them on mobile phones. Please help solve this problem. Otherwise, it’s impossible to navigate the site using the mobile phone even though this theme is responsive. Thanks.
Hello,
I want my site to be as fast as the demo site, but it isn’t although I installed w3 total cache just with “page cache enabled” and also activated the “tagDiv speed booster”. With these plugins my site’s scores are 72/100 for mobile and 86/100 for desktop.
What else should I do to make my site as fast as the demo site?
Hi,
Edit your homepage, add Block 2.
We used on our demo:
Sort order: Sort like you want
Limit post number: 3
Optional – custom title for this block: DON’T MISS
Show child categories menu: Show 3 categories
Use ajax in child categories menu: Next prev ajax (this is the pagination)
Thanks!
hi, i have a problem to make header menu. i have changed appearance menu, category, theme panel etc.. but it still dosen’t work.
it keeps written “Click here-to select or create a menu”
i updated wordpress version and all recommended plugins..
even i installed demo data but didn’t work as well.
plz check my homepage and reply asap..
my homepage address is this :
http://the-ullim.com/wordpress/
hope it goes well until the end of day.. thanks!
Hello!
I’m really confused. How to create a “Don’t Miss” like section on pages, as seen on demo and how to put that pagination animation on that section?
Thanks!
It’s becoming a common user interface element to have a “tap to search” function, where when the magnifier icon (aka “search” icon) is tapped, a viewport specific box will appear either in place with wide screen, or as a modal type element for ease of use on mobile.
Many examples online, but for example you could see this with Google’s YouTube site when on, say, an iPad in portrait mode. The icon is there, box is not. Click icon, new box appears larger and to fit viewport/device for ease of use.
Similarly, a bold new site design by NBC News, http://www.nbcnews.com/
also uses this same approach.
“most” people don’t go to a news portal and “search” for content unless they’re doing a particular research task.
So, “new think” — more “above the fold” space for people “browsing” content or who have clicked in from external link (email, social, etc.) to read specific item. Then, for researchers, tap/click to search with either in place or modal type search box.
For those in the web design field by profession, you can also see this on UX/design sites like “.net magazine” http://www.creativebloq.com/net-magazine
Hundreds of other examples, but just examples.
Radu and co. have followed this concept for the Newspaper theme, where more horizontal space is given for the actual navigation topics and drop downs, with search a tap to click which doesn’t interfere with the main nav element (in theory).
Your needs may vary, but this is why/how Radu and co did it the way it’s now done. It’s not an isolated idea, but a trend which is proven useful for solving above the fold visibility issues on varied mobile devices for content and main navigation over an “always on” search box.
And, again, for those who need an “always on” high visibility search box, you can add the built-in search from WP to any widget area, unless I’m mistaken.
WP admin > appearance > widgets > search
Hope that made sense. 🙂
Just my thoughts on this topic, and it’s not intended to invalidate or argue against your particular needs. Just a comment as to my preference for having Radu work on the fixes to the core elements post migration to v3 framework, versus “changing” too many of the established design elements which are clearly shown in the demo.

I thought I’d let you know that the Pagespeed score went way down in version 3.1. This seems to affect mobile only. I believe it’s due to the speed booster plugin not taking effect on the mobile site for some reason.
Here’s the demo page, which got a score of 66 for me.
Thanks for looking into this!
I think for most of the usability (UX) design elements happening right now, this theme is properly designed. “on site” search is used only a tiny fraction for most folks who surf in from social media or other link. Visitors to home page would explore on page elements before search. In our case we happen to prefer the search only be visible when tapped as this has become very much the norm (e.g., YouTube, Google, et al), as it puts a box where no box is needed unless asked for. And, a LOT of people forget if they are desperate to have a big visible search box, simply put it in the sidebar using the built-in wordpress widget. For the navbar, I prefer how it’s done now, as “search” isn’t technically part of “navigation” but a separate function, so from a UX standpoint, Radu got it right the first time.
That takes nothing away from those who need it, however, I — and many others here — would prefer the CORE features get updated and solified further before additional “alt” functions are added, as this takes time away from the evolution of the product as originally created — meaning, the demo shows how search works, so asking to change it now isn’t necessarily a bad thing for your purposes, but not how the theme was developed based around “current think” on UX dev.
Just my four cents. 🙂
Thank you for your reply Marius.
I have not yet updated to the recent version as I am waiting for all major issues to be resolved first. I do not have the wp-boost folder that you refereed to in your screenshot.
As it stands, I have a block 4 titled Legalization displaying the recent articles in the category legalization. When I hover over the block title and click, it links to the category page legalization.. I am trying to disable that link to category page. I don’t want the block 4 title to link to anything, I just want the title show without a link.
A example is in your demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-4-2/
When you click on the block title, it takes you to a different page. How do you disable that?
Thanks for your help!
Radu and Marius: The logo shows in the menu when scrolling on mobile if I choose “Header Style 1” (as in your demo).
It doesn’t work if I choose “Header style 3”, which is the one I’m using. This must be a bug?
But your demo doesn’t support the logo in the menu on desktop (not mobile) when scrolling. That’s the whole point. How do I keep the setup you have in the demo, while also adding the logo in the menu when scrolling on desktop? Thanks for taking the time helping me out : ) Are
hi,
please take a look at the example in pour demo, there is working.
Thanks for you message.
Radu A.
Hi. It stopped working after I followed the steps to make the logo visible as an image in the menu when scrolling on desktop (as described by you here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/moveplace-logo-in-menu-when-scrolled-down-and-menu-fixed/). The only difference is that I’m using the 3rd logo option, not the default option (as in the demo).
I’m developing the site locally, so I don’t have an URL for you.
Hi,
I don’t know why on your screenshot on mobile the logo is not there like in our demo. AS you can see on our demo everything works fine.
Please give me your site URL to inspect the issue. Something went wrong there.
Thanks!
Hello
I would like to know why i don’t see any images when i download the tagdiv demo. Because i need the example to figure out how i can use one thumbnail to show several pictures. Like like example page from:
http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609
Thanks for the CSS codes Radu.
The question still remains: How do I make the logo visible in the menu bar when scrolling, both on desktop AND mobile?
In your demo, the logo is visible in the menu when scrolling in responsive mode (mobile), but not when scrolling on desktop (see the images in this post: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/moveplace-logo-in-menu-when-scrolled-down-and-menu-fixed/)
I have followed Marius’ steps to make the logo visible as an image in the menu when scrolling on desktop. It works great (see http://www.screencast.com/t/DeYJSyxDZpF).
HOWEVER, this fix has made the logo in the menu disappear in responsive mode (see http://www.screencast.com/t/KSoryFQcTRIB)
Thanks for helping me out!

Hi Marius,
It works thank you!

Hi,
Add this code 'autoplay' => '2', like here: http://screencast.com/t/E2IVnscA7Q
Thanks!
Hi Radu, when I use the homepage with backgroud, how can I make the slider to auto slide? Cause there is no option to set up the slider when I use “homepage with backgroud”?
Hi Radu, I will try. Thanks a lot!
Perfect – thanks Marius 🙂
Andrew
Hi,
1. If you use a logo in Logo section that should be on mobile like in our demo http://screencast.com/t/joWnovxu62Gv
2. You can align it manually for each device via CSS, using position relative and left.
Thanks!
