Hi,
If you want to have more control over the h titles, then you should replace the blocks from your pages with flex blocks, those are more flexible and options -> http://prntscr.com/ojr0yh -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/ this will allow you to have more control over the h tag from title.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

I am using the newest version of the Newspaper Theme. The Flex Block 4 Element is messed up. It still shows the # of comments image even when it is hidden. When you edit the homepage where I am using the block, above the image in the block, it shows all the categories used on the website, not just those chosen for this block. All these categories do not show on the website itself.
Hi,
Blocks and grids can only be filtered as a whole, not by a specific module in them. If you would like to display a specific post in the middle module of flex grid 6, it can be done in a way. Enter the post IDs manually in the post filter – http://prntscr.com/oj9eh1
The third ID entered there will be the one in the middle module
– http://prntscr.com/oj9f6f
Doing this will mean that the grid will always display those posts, until manually removing the IDs or changing them.
You could also create a similar layout from different elements, for example 2 blocks on the side and a flex grid (1 in my example) set to display one module only
– http://prntscr.com/oj9g44
This way the side blocks can have dynamic filtering, and only the grid in the middle must contain the specific post ID.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the confusion, it was not my intention. I was just presenting the current image gallery elements that can be used in the theme.
I have checked the example you mentioned, for example this one https://www.reuters.com/
I see the homepage is built with grids and blocks, most of them set to display articles from specific categories. I can’t see an actual image gallery in that page.
The theme composer has a wide selection of blocks and grids that can display your posts.
There are predefined blocks and grids – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
Then there are the flex blocks and grids from the cloud library, which can be imported with the cloud plugin – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
But the composer doesn’t have a specific gallery element for images. You can either create a tagDiv gallery as mentioned above, try the revolution slider, or use a gallery plugin.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
How do you make a post appear in a specific area (“box”) inside of the Big Grid Flex 6 preset setting? I know that it is a preset setting but I want specific posts to appear say in the main center box. I have already used the filter option to try to re-arrange how the posts appear but it is not behaving how I would like it to. I would like to create a post and when I publish it – it goes into a specific “box” inside of the Big Grid Flex preset setting.
Hello !
If you mean this section: https://www.screencast.com/t/k5sQN4iZ2 ?
You will have to add the element using the tagDiv Composer: https://www.screencast.com/t/tNdqp1LbC5x
Go to elements and add one of othe blocks / flex blocks and give the title you want: https://www.screencast.com/t/bI7wn2uM9Wtx
I hope this was helpfull !
Thank you !
Hi Guys,
I’m sure I am not alone when I say that a lot of the features of Newspaper 9 are great – and as soon as you can sort out the Child theme functionality it will make the management a lot easier.
However, I am sure I am also not alone when it comes to a major shortfall in the support for customisation of blocks. Blocks 9 and 10 are a traditional news snippet style, and the flexibility of the Flex blocks is also good.
However, I would like to request a detailed tutorial that shows how to replicate these blocks. The tutorial here, https://forum.tagdiv.com/developer-info/ is not of any use to someone who wants looping or to have two versions of the same block where one shows tags – courtesy of custom code – and the other doesn’t. I want to have the option to play with the page view at the design level.
Please, please, please can we get a tutorial that addresses this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Simion,
Thank you so much for your time. Wonderful advice and yes I have used Flex Block 1 and now have the desired result. I must of overlooked this block.
Thanks again

Hi,
Looks like there is a problem with Firefox, it has problems with some of the CSS that is used. There is something you could try, please enter this code in the theme panel custom CSS section
.td-md-is-firefox .home .td-header-image {
display: inline-flex;
}
It should solve the problem – http://prntscr.com/oh8hy1
I will however make a note of it and mention it to pour design team so they can investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if it works, also if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using the Flex Block 1 for your homepage. Please note that you can change the text size from the Block Settings from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/XwVca62Nu
Thank you!
I was thinking that I needed a new customized flex box in order to call the customized single post template for only the ‘issues’ category, so I would only see the new single post template on those. Otherwise, the other post categories would go to the regular single post page (unaltered).
Hello team,
I’ve configured a specific font for mobile devices, but it doesn’t seem to respect the font size.
I’m using this special code on my mobile. Is it possible that I’m causing an error?
.home .td-a-rec-id-header_mob {
display: none;
}
.td-post-template-5 .td-post-header .entry-title{
text-align:center;
}
.td-post-content h2 {
border-bottom: 2px solid #903ce6;
}
h1, h2, h3 {
text-align: center;
}
.td-a-rec, .td-a-rec-id-header_mob {
display:none;
}
.single .td-a-rec, .post .td-a-rec-id-header_mob {
display: block;
}
.form-submit input[type=submit] {
background-color: #913fe4;
color: white;
}
.wpb_wrapper .td_flex_block_1{
box-shadow: none!important;
}Taking advantage of this query, I would like to change the font color for the content of the publications from #222222 to #333333 Is it possible to do it?
Cheers

Hi,
1. If you want to use the “Time ago format” you need to use a single post template from tagDiv Cloud Library and click on single post date and enable the “Time ago format” -> https://www.screencast.com/t/2G5ogZnde0JZ
2. Unfortunately you can not switch off the module 1 from flex block 3, if you want to have only the module 2 you can achieve this using the Flex block 1 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/NCL8kBltIml
3. Unfortunately our theme do not have an option to show the share icons on blocks, sorry! our theme have the share buttons inside the post -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-default-templates/
Thank you!
Hi,
With the predefined post templates it will indeed display just the image. With cloud post templates using the single post featured image element the audio will be shown, has a few settings as well – http://prntscr.com/ogn3xx – http://prntscr.com/ogn46i
In flex blocks or loops there is a player, it can be customized or turned off in the element settings – http://prntscr.com/ognaev
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi
1. Looking for X Minutes ago for Today. Days ago for this week. Date for everywhere else time. How do I achieve this?
2. Need to switch off Module1 in Flex Block3. How do I do this?
3. Show share icons on FlexBlock elements
Please help
Hi,
I thought you were referring to the post page, sorry if I misunderstood. So you are referring to the blocks in the homepage – http://prntscr.com/ogmdyr which are flex blocks 3.
What exactly would you like to do to them? it would be hard to actually clone a block under a different name and use it fully in the composer. Maybe choose a different block or flex block and modify that one if needed. Let me know.
Thanks
Thanks for your reply, Simion.
Since we’re using Flex Block 3 for both sections (‘Latest News’and ‘Magazine’) on our front page, is there a way to clone Flex Block 3 under a different name so I can make changes to it so it only affects the ‘The Magazine’ section and not the ‘Latest News’ section.
This way I could make your recommended changes.
Thanks again.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand on which button you specifically refer to. Please note that if you are using the Flex Block 1, you have an option that allows you to change the name of the Read More button, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/DZF0XEqYKm1 Also, the read more button can be changed from the Translation from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/BrnraOeDi01N
Thank you!
Hi,
So if I understand correctly you want to have some more control over the style from the flex block, this can be achieve using the tagDiv Composer builder -> https://www.screencast.com/t/5YKqNahV
If this is not what you mean, please provide some more details about what you want to achieve and the problems that you are facing.
Thank you!
Hi,
The default blocks and grids are predefined, meaning that their layout cannot be changed.
However flex blocks and grids have such options, for example flex block 1 has the 16:9 format in the pre-made style presetss – http://prntscr.com/ofmsdj
But you can also use the image settings to set custom sizes if needed
– http://prntscr.com/ofmsu0
So flex blocks and grids have many more design and layout options than the predefined ones. You could experiment with them.
Also check the designs created by us here – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
These can be imported with the cloud library plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi
Do you have a breakdown/overview of Newspaper CSS? Currently when I change the a. style reference for say, Flex Block 1, it affects all other unrelated modules/blocks. I need to create an a. class for .entry-title.td-module-title and different one for td-meodule-meta-info, so that the H ref font sizes are different.
Thanks

Hi
Thanks. This article is a bit out of date as it references Child Themes. I can do the coding but would like to know which Flex Block 1 td_ php file contains the code that services the title display. Am going mad and can’t find it.

Hi
I am getting a weird spacing issue between consecutive posts using Flex Block 1, see https://www.dropbox.com/s/9gwpr8eucg93qzx/Spacing%20issue.PNG?dl=0
I can’t see to resolve this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Indeed there is no element in our theme that look like in your example, but this can be achieve using more elements -> https://www.screencast.com/t/a82VQeN2ENT in order to achieve this I used 3 row -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Rbes42fnM after that I set the
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/WVLN21tz -> https://www.screencast.com/t/e4SMLVSIz -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Wr2z0STUd you can set an offset on post, in this way those will not repeat -> https://www.screencast.com/t/GryrPXIBIpx
Also please check our documentation from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/H5UV313y -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Quite unusual. Is it an imported flex block design, or did you create it’s design? We could take a closer look at it, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login as well a link to the page where the flex block is so we can see the issue.
Please also include a link to this topic in the email. Let us know.
