Hi,
This can be a plugin conflict, please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, please deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Pleas go in Settings and re-save the permalinks -> https://www.screencast.com/t/QdofmGTW if this is not working, please go in one post and click on update ( or set some content in excerpt ), clear all cache and try again, also please try with some flex blocks!
Thank you!
Hi,
The tagdiv.com website use Newspaper theme v9.7.2 our website is build using tagDiv Composer and template from tagDiv Cloud Library.
Please check our documentation
Why You Should Try the New Flexible Big Grids with Newspaper Theme -> https://tagdiv.com/try-new-flexible-big-grids-with-newspaper-theme/
tagDiv Composer: Big Grid Flex elements -> https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-big-grid-flex-elements/
Thank you!
So you mentioned a Flex Block 2 will help what I want as an outcome.
That block is part of NewsPaper. I currently have newsMag.
Can I achieve the same with newsMag?
Hi,
Posts can be displayed in pages using blocks and grids mostly. There are many types of blocks and grids that you can use, such as the predefined types
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
Use the top switcher to see them all – http://prntscr.com/nsbeya
And the flex types – http://prntscr.com/nsbbez – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/flex-block/
Flex blocks and grids have many customization options opposed to predefined blocks. These are some examples created by us – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks each one can be imported through the cloud library plugin provided with the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
But you can design your own flex blocks as well.
Each block and grid has filtering and sorting options, useful when you want to choose which posts appear and where – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
So you can create pages and edit them with the tagDiv composer, place the elements you want in them to display your posts, configured as needed
– https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-page-builder-basics/
One of the pages you create can be set as homepage – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
If you have more questions, let me know.
Thanks
Hello !
To have a block with those looks you can add a Flex Block 2 using the tagDiv Composer. Find out more tips and tricks about the composer here: https://www.screencast.com/t/5yGnEGMvY ; https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-page-builder-basics/
Thank you !
Hi all,
I’m not sure where it’s best to put in suggestions for new feature – however, i would love to see a native support for two major things in the nex Flex Block:
1st:
Allow user to set a custom date format for the Flex Block’s date-element like l - j. F 'y and so on. (Would allow us to fx list a weekday, which could be useful, in some cases – but we don’t what it all over out site)

2nd:
Allow article grouping by date.
Example:

Thank you, Calin! It turns out that the padding issue for the Big Flex block was in the column, not in the block itself, but thank you for the lead! Great theme!
Hi,
Regarding the issue, note that the old API plugin will not work anymore. You can use the new creative plugin for this purpose – https://forum.tagdiv.com/developer-info/
But maybe what you are trying to do is possible without resorting to this plugin. The flex blocks have multiple options and settings and can be customized in many ways. You could use a flex block instead of adding new ones.
Please check this topic about the Newspaper v9.7 -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/
TagDiv Cloud Library -> https://tagdiv.com/what-is-the-cloud-library/
Thanks.
Hi,
You mean in terms of design? If you do, the theme has many blocks and grids to choose from to display your posts. There are predefined blocks, grids, and full 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/
There are many flex block designs as well – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
The header can be designed with the header builder from scratch, or use designs made by us which can be imported – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
Also check out the theme demos here
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
Replicating a website built with a different theme, plugins, builders etc would be difficult to do in general.
Articles can be created normally, by registered authors and above. These are capabilities provided by WordPress, the theme will respect them. Users can register and be given a role, which will decide their capability in the website.
Thanks
Hi,
This is a category template -> http://horses.animalsvoice.com/tdb_templates/category-template-20-fast-news/ from tagDiv Cloud Library also please make sure that you set a post in a category -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/
Primary Category: Build a clear hierarchy for your website -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/primary-category/
Also for flex please check this section -> https://www.screencast.com/t/xk5EHIyyqGVX
Thank you!
Hi, when sharing my website on social media I get the below description when sharing the homepage.
[td_block_big_grid_flex_5 meta_info_vert=content-vert-bottom…
How can I fix this and put the proper description?
Hi I’m using the Flex Block 1 at the bottom of this page on the left:
http://horses.animalsvoice.com/tdb_templates/category-template-20-fast-news/
As you can see, it isn’t flush with the left margin. I’ve tried everything I can think of to line it up with all the others, but it won’t budge. I only have two plugins activated and everything else is up-to-date.
Also, at the top of the page, I can’t find anywhere on the Category Grid 1 block settings to choose a category to display there so it apparently reverts to UNCATEGORIZED.
Thank you!
This theme is AMAZING! I couldn’t describe how flexible it is, I got what I exactly wanted to do, thank you a lot!
I only couldn’t figure out how to make the featured image not show in the other pages like it was the case for the default post template.
Other than that, it is just perfect
Blank space between the text and the image or between the text and the title. The styles of the post templates (2,3,4,5,6, 7 and 8) are not well optimized.
This problem exists since the last update.
https://www.hosteleriadigital.es/2019/04/02/60-mil-trabajadores-hosteleros-mas-en-marzo/
So flex blocks are not an option? They have settings for the images, you could load a bigger thumbnail and use the width/height and position settings
– http://prntscr.com/nrc77u
Modifying the cropping method would require that you edit the tagDiv composer files (after update 9.7)
The thumbnails are defined here – http://prntscr.com/nrc4yp
Then the future thumbnails will use the new cropping. The existing thumbnails will have to be regenerated, you can use the plugin mentioned here for example
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
But I should note that modifications to the plugins will be lost after the theme and plugins are updated.
Hi,
All the theme modules have a specific thumbnail size that they will use, including the module used for the mega-menu
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
The theme will always crop the images, they will be cropped center top
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
Maybe you can consider using a cloud header template
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
Using a cloud header there are options for the mega-menu for the images, so you can load a bigger thumbnail and adjust it – http://prntscr.com/nrabgc – http://prntscr.com/nrab81
In pages you can use flex blocks and flex grids, these have the same options for the images, so you can adjust them there as well if needed. As opposed to predefined blocks the flex blocks have many settings in terms of layout, we created some designs here (these can be imported with the cloud library plugin) – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
As a note, please don’t bump the post. This will only refresh the topic date and move it to the back of the line. We reply from oldest to newest at all times.
Thanks

If the problem is still there, please delete( delete the theme plugins too, do not override ) the current version of Newspaper that you have and download again from themefores the newspaper and reinstall it.
Thanks.
Hi,
By a theme setting that is not possible, the thumbnail sizes and cropping method are predefined.
If it is a block you are referring to, then you could use a flex block, these have width and height settings for the thumbnail
– http://prntscr.com/nqww0f
Maybe you can get the result you want with a flex block.
Be sure to check out some block examples made by us using flex blocks
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
These can be imported with the cloud library plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Thank you. Will visitors be able to click on the background? It needs to be an ad, not just a wallpaper.
Also, similar to the example mentioned above, how can I push the news ticker and/or the big grid flex down, in order to have the background ad visible also at the top?
Cheers!
I’m trying to create image blocks that link to pages (not posts), but to me it feels like I can only create these types of elements around blog posts.
For example I’d like to create two columns. On the left, 1 big image and with a link to a page. On the right column, I’d like three rows, each with a smaller image linking to a page. Basically like Big Grid Flex 3, only not pointing to blog posts but images I choose.
Is this possible?
same situation… I need this on flex block 2… anyone?
Sorry for misunderstanding. We could take a closer look at the issue you are having, as it is not happening for us in our tests. Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, we will create a test page to see how the full grids and flex grids are displaying in your case. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Hi,
All the thumbnails the theme created are cropped – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
A center top crop was considered to be the best solution overall. Using flex grids you could use a larger thumbnail and orientate the focus on the image
– http://prntscr.com/npnppu
Maybe you can achieve the result you want like this. The way the theme crops the images to create thumbnails can’t be changed by a theme setting. It is done automatically. Let me know if you have more questions.
Hey guys; first post here!
I would like to have in my sidebar a certain block that would allow the visitor to read a PDF document? Any ideas which block/flexbox item ?
Thanks for the reply and all the best!
Dear Simion, I haven’t fixed them.
I’m temporarily using Big Grid 7 to avoid a negative user experience to my readers, because Full and Flex modules are not working properly.
Can you check how Can I use Full and Flex modules with Newspaper 9.7 without any post titles and meta issues?
Thank you very much.
Waiting your courteous reply,
Best Regards,
Marco
