Hi,
If you want to have more control you can use flex block 1
https://www.screencast.com/t/vOK2rFIAH , using flex block, you have more control over the block layout.
Thank you.
Hi,
Modules from the modules folder can be modified in a child theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/
Create the same directory path to the modules in the child theme as in the main theme, then copy the desired module in the child theme. The flex modules can be modified in the child theme.
Thanks
OK. Thanks.
So, I’m using Flexbox 1. Can I copy / rename this and edit it or add it to my child theme?
Or can I only edit the original file?
Hi,
Only with modifications to the modules would it be possible for them to display additional information. They can only display what is defined in their coding, for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/cB27rrRC
So they are not able to display a logo unless this is added by some means in each of the modules.
The excerpt can be either automatic, picked from the post content and have a length according to the setting
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
Or you can set custom excerpts for each post, these will be displayed exactly as you enter them
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Og6EfgCkA
We will try to add more settings and features for the flex blocks and flex grids in the future. I can’t say what these will be unfortunately.
Thanks
Am transitioning the site to AMP posts and have some formatting issues want to ask about.
My site is the latest version and all my posts are made with Cloud Templates.
All of my posts are designed with cloud templates.
Would be great if can use for AMP but can’t so few questions on how I can style AMP posts as much as possible.
1. The Logo looks terrible – Have tried the fix mentioned in another post and no luck. I’ve looked other forum members sites and seems a common problem – especially logo always on the right and distorted.
2. How can Change font post content and title
3. What options are there to change the Footer style – is there more flexibility?
4. Can have a menu on Amp page (like Bloomberg?) https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2018-12-16/may-s-team-push-back-at-second-brexit-vote-claims-brexit-update
Hi im using Big grid flex 7 and block 11 , how to crop featured images for this grid and block? and how many pixel to set?
Big grid 3 cannot be stretched. The predefined grids (1->12) will always look the same
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
There are full width grids which can be stretched (10 types)
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
Also there are flex grids which have a big amount of customization options
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VkZyno8D0
So full width grids and flex grids can be stretched according to the row stretch options. Predefined grids cannot.
Our site is divided into mainly music, film and books. Since some posts have no set featured image, we want to set a fallback image per category.
Nearly all of the time we make use of flex block 1, and doing a search online I found a code which would do the trick
<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail">
"><?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
</div>
<?php else :
$category = get_the_category();
?>
<div class="entry-thumbnail">
">/wp-content/uploads/category-images/<?php echo $category[0]->category_nicename ; ?>-150x150.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
Can anyone of you suggest if this can be implemented manually ?
Looking at the flex block code I figure I would make some changes here on line 22:
if (empty($image_size)) {
$image_size = 'td_696x0';
}
Hi,
For the problem with Big Grid Flex 2 on mobile please add the below custom css in Newspaper>Theme panel>Custom code>Custom css

.td_block_big_grid_flex_2 .td_module_flex_6 {

}
.td_block_big_grid_flex_2 .td_module_flex_7 {
width: 80%;
}
}

For the second problem with the mega menu thumbs use Thumbnails – Fix strange looking images on blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you.
Hi,
If I understand correctly you want to align the meta info from flex in line with the rest of the blocks, if is so please set the meta info width 1068 and meta info margin auto
https://www.screencast.com/t/VMU8i9FInoE
Thanks.
Hi,
Predefined blocks and grids (all except flex blocks and grids) will use predefined thumbnail sizes, cropped by center top. The results will be different according to module used and also affected by the image aspect ratio
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
With the flex blocks and flex grids you could control the images by some parameters. You could experiment with the flex blocks and grids which have options to manipulate the image
– https://www.screencast.com/t/JqcubPWxoZ
– https://www.screencast.com/t/MF6tn1kSSunH
There are quite a few block and grid designs created by our team which you can import and use, we will add flex grids as well. These are based on the flex blocks and grids

Hello everyone,
I bought the newspaper theme for my blog. Now I want to custom the module flex 2 on my home page. I want to display the image in full width (no problem for that) but i want align the meta infos with other modules under the module flex 2 (I set 1200px for other module) and if i set padding or margin there is a problem on other screen…. How i can do that ? The meta infos on module flex 2 must be align with other modules on any screen.
To be clear you can check my website to understand my problem : http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/50/3/1544602867-fireshot-capture-19-je-suis-cinevore-i-un-blog-parmi-tant-d-autr-https-www-jesuiscinevore-fr.png
Hi,
That is not possible with block 15, this block displays two modules when set in a 1/3 column, so maybe consider using a different block which shows one module in that layout.
These are all the theme predefined blocks (26 types)
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Blocks 3 or 5 would be similar for example.
Or experiment with cloud post templates, there you can use flex blocks in the sidebar
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here you can preview and even edit the cloud post templates and block examples based on flex blocks
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
Each of them cab be imported and used.
Thanks
Hi there,
I just activated the theme on my website. Everything works great apart from the mobile version, where the main featured image of the block “Big Grid Flex 2” is not displayed properly (only half the screen of our android phones).
Also, when clicking on the sandwich menu, there is a “connect/subscribe” option that shouldn’t be there and I don’t know how to get rid of it.
Please let me know.
Thanks a lot!
Okay sorry my bad. reference https://imgur.com/a/loMXzh2. This is set up as flex block 1. And i want to add custom ads in between those cards. May be lets say after 5 article a ad will show up.
We’ve run into a problem with the theme Block 11. When we open up the browser windows to a larger size than 1024px we get an image that jumps up in size and overlaps other content.
How can we avoid this?
I’ve tried block 12 and FlexBlock 1 but neither of those is much better.
Any way to edit breakpoints or default image sizes per layout?
Why is there a layout tab for flex blocks but not for regular blocks?
How do I edit or make my own block?
Here is an example:

Best,
Kim Christiansen
I noticed a problem with Flex Block 3. In the block settings, the same option is repeated. I checked it on version 9.1 and the new 9.2 Details on the attached image in the link: https://ibb.co/JvfLTT3
Hi Guys how to add custom adds in between article group? We want to show in a section where we have configured flex block 1, these are card style articles and we want to show ads in between those.
I noticed a problem with Flex Block 3 details on the attached image in the link: https://ibb.co/JvfLTT3
Hi,
The second image, the one with composer, there the settings apply only for that flex, and do not take the category from theme panel, that is just a filter to the direct flex block.
I think you want some category blocks, use tagDiv Cloud Library https://www.screencast.com/t/Aq5W2ksqo
Thank you for your understanding.
Thanks for reply.
I regenerated all thumbnails but problem didn’t solved and i tried flex but i don’t like results.
Is there any solution for my problem beside regenerating thumbs or changing grid style?
Because i was use it without any problem since 9.2 update and as you see example in my second message, 16:9 images can be use with Big Grid 3 if i’m correct
Hi,
Please regenerate the thumbs -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Also you can try with some flex block instead big grid 1 and see if the problem persist.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
Flex blocks and loop elements can display the author photo, but like this
– http://prntscr.com/lrv67b
So not over the image, maybe in the future there will be more options added.
Thanks
Hi,
If the original size of image do not fit properly in the module/block then the api thumbnail will crop the image.
Theme thumbs -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
You can try to use others blocks, or some flex blocks ( you have more control over flex blocks ).
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi,
Indeed, that demo has some customization for block 15 (removes the thumbnail and ads some design)
– http://prntscr.com/lr2krm
When installing a demo an additional stylesheet will be loaded
– https://www.screencast.com/t/s0ygO0nAd8lO
That contains design for the particular demo. It will not be through the theme panel custom CSS section, but an additional stylesheet.
The connection will be through the demo body class that will be set
– https://www.screencast.com/t/HT3xz2kSG
You could also use flex blocks, these have settings to hide the thumbnail and many customization settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/f1emI5vFKzIf
Here you can preview and even edit designs made by us based on flex blocks
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
These cloud blocks and templates can be imported through the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
