Hi everybody,
I have a site with 800.000 posts and 2.5 millon of monthly printed pages with 20000 daily visitors.
It is the digital version of a real printed newspaper leader in a state and has a peak of audiencie in an hour interval during the morning.
I am coming to wordpress, and your “Newspaper Theme” because it is more flexible, basically in everything. My old site had less images and are smaller compared with this theme with a fast optimiced custom code.
Honestly i feel scared with the quantity of images that I have now in the index page with your “Newspaper Theme”. Practically all modules comes with 1 or more images.
I am planning to upload the new site in a few weeks, but i will take care with the amount of internet bandwidth than this theme will use in my hosting instance.
Do you Have some experience with Photon (Free Jetpack CDN).?
Is it good for a site with our traffic ?
And which resources do you suggest for the hosting required to run your theme with our traffic?
Thanks!.
Hi
Try this custom css to remove the margin below the slider: http://screencast.com/t/kYGW4e6aP0oJ
.flexslider{
margin: 0 0 0!important;
}
Regarding the image size you also can use custom css to re-size it but the slide container will remain by post content width’s which is 640px:
.flexslider .slides img{
width: auto!important;
}
If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
There are around 100 pixels padding beneath the Image Gallery, which is far too much, where can that be changed, because there aren’t any design options in the Image Gallery settings?
e.g. please scroll to the bottom of this page, https://www.polandtrips.co.uk/2015/09/14/beach-riding-in-leba/
Slide show pictures on my travel page were designed at 460 x 220, and they are set to that size in the image slideshow options, however, they actually show at 605 x 289, why is that and why aren’t the image slide show options working? Image Gallery added via Visual Composer, settings are no title, Flex Slider slide, auto rotate 3, on click action none, size 460 x 220.
Hello flex202,
You can disable comments for the whole site using this option from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/CJX7VQqoyqIw
Or you can disable them for specific posts like : https://forum.tagdiv.com/enabledisable-comments/
You can set a bottom article add from the panel: http://screencast.com/t/0cnAqk9x
Thank you.
Hello,
i use your Newsmag theme for some months now and I’m very happy with this.
I have used several standards for news so far, I would like to suggest some possibilities that could make your theme even more flexible and powerful
Thanks!
Hi,
I’ve several custom post types. I would like the “Post Settings” on each one and for it to show up on the custom post type front end.
I’ve figured out how to add the “Post Settings” to each custom post types editing page but I don’t know how to replicate the changes on the front.
For example – http://beta.virtualfestivals.com/event/glastonbury-festival-2002/ – this is a custom post type and is using “Style 3”. I copied single.php and renamed it as single-event.php. I realise I could have copied and renamed single_template_3.php but was hoping for a more flexible solution.
Thanks,
JJ
Im working with an advertisement company that needs me to change the posting settings for Template Style 11. Here is the information they sent me but I have no idea where to fix this. Need help:
We noticed that sometimes the flex code would populate the towers toward the middle, covering your content, instead of on the sides which is how it is suppose to load. This is the flex code as you have it on there now:
/* Flex */
cf_page_artist = “Insert artist variable here”;
cf_page_song = “Insert song variable here”;
cf_page_header = “.td-header-wrap”;
cf_page_element = “.td-main-content-wrap”;
cf_page_footer = “.td-sub-footer-wrap”;
cf_adunit_id = “39384221”;
cf_flex = true;
The highlighted section in the code tells our flex where your article’s content is, so it will expand around that. We would need you to make some slight adjustments to your CMS, because posts that contain videos are not outlined by the cf_page_element. Below, Steve our dev, laid out a solution to get around this issue. Please take a look and let me know if you are able to make these adjustments. Thanks.
the source code of this highlighted area looks like this:
<article id=”post-6248″ class=”td-post-template-11 post-6248 post type-post status-publish format-video has-post-thumbnail hentry category-gossip-grounds tag-kanye-west tag-kim-kardashian tag-kylie-jenner post_format-post-format-video” itemscope=”” itemtype=”http://schema.org/Article”>
<div class=”td-video-template-bg”>
<div class=”td-container”>
<div class=”td-pb-row”>
—
—
— so on
We proposed to add the class name, td-main-content-wrap, to the <article> tag, so our CF Flex Code knows it should expand the distance between the towers, to match the width of the <article> element – which is where the content lies.
The new source code would look like this:
<article id=”post-6248″ class=”td-main-content-wrap td-post-template-11 post-6248 post type-post status-publish format-video has-post-thumbnail hentry category-gossip-grounds tag-kanye-west tag-kim-kardashian tag-kylie-jenner post_format-post-format-video” itemscope=”” itemtype=”http://schema.org/Article”>
<div class=”td-video-template-bg”>
<div class=”td-container”>
<div class=”td-pb-row”>
Where do I go to change this? my site is http://TripleHQ.com if this helps. Thanks
Hello
In panel theme admin I define Quote with 32px Cookie font.
The result here (first sentence in the post):
http://www.virtualmagie.org/articles/autres/reflexions/cercle-ferme-ou-club-ouvert-a-tout-le-monde-par-gilbus/
But when I use quote in the description for a product, it does’nt use the good style:
http://www.virtualmagie.org/boutique/pdf/biographie-dotto-wessely-je-suis-une-star-comme-tout-le-monde/
See the sentence in blue and cap!
If you could cahnge this on the next update and provide an CSS hack correction it would be great.

Hi! Awesome theme! Flexible and solid. How to disable the Sorting order dropdown box on the categories’ pages? Thanks!
That totally worked a treat! Thanks for making such a full featured theme. It is a bit complicated, but really has a lot of flexibility and options. Just makes finding the “right” place to make a change somewhat challenging!

Fast Fact: Initial tests show Adpress works without a problem.
I have been using Adpress on our old site for years.
Adpress is not perfect, but it is a beast I know and it has yet to fail me so far. Plus the author is a cool cat.
We use Adpress simply. Only we the staff post ads, and all of our ads are images in our media library. We don’t do anything else but that.
We are upgrading our theme to NewsMag. We are doing testing on a dummy site with the demo and Adpress.
If my info is useful and you decide to buy Adpress, click on this affiliate link. Never used an affiliate link, so what the hell. Why not now.
http://codecanyon.net/item/adpress-wordpress-advertising-plugin/1510785?ref=GideonLupine
First I uploaded a 728×90 image to the Media Library.
Then I created a Adpress Campaign. Ad Type Image. Ads Number 20. Image Size 728×90. Clicks 10,000. Column Number 1. Price 0. Ad Rotation checked with Ads to Display 1.
This created a AdPress Campaign shortcode of
[adpress campaign=1]
Then I went to Ad Press Settings Image Ad. Deleted everything in both HTML Code and CSS Style. Then I entered in HTML code the following:
a href="@url" target="_blank" img src="@image_src" //a
I was wondering the best place to put “td-all-devices”, but I decided to make it flexible.
In NewsMag Theme panel Ads for Header Ad, I entered in the following:
<div class=”td-all-devices”>[adpress campaign=1]</div>`
I also just threw in the Adpress Campaign shortcode into a post.
Long story short. It worked both places and was responsive.
I will do some more testing and let you know how it goes.
I don’t believe this is available without modifying the theme, but there are many great sharing plugins for WordPress that give you more flexibility. One that was made specifically for this theme is Sharify by Mehedi; that’s the one I use on my site.
Thanks, I guess the most frustrating part is that it was working fine for months, no changes to home page layout. Now we need to build in different rows, which creates a sidebar issue. Using the logic that this theme is build around 3 column fixed grid, 1/3 of those 3 columns is dedicated to the sidebar on the right. Now we want to display the slider over column 1 and 2, the sidebar moves to the top of column 3, which is fine. But adding a new row under the slider doesn’t allow that content to start until after the sidebar is ended. If we use the page version of the sidebar, it reduces the remaining space on the page and divides that up into 3 columns, in essence creating 4 columns. Not very design-friendly.
I just wish we understood why it worked correctly at first (since May) with the row within the slider row, then it doesn’t anymore. By the way, does version 6 offer more flexibility in this regard?
Thanks for you time!
Social tab in the theme panel is for top of the page.
Social widget can be different based on page, post, homepage, etc. – more flexible.
Some folks want some stuff top of page, different things/accounts in sidebar.
Sidebar code uses hooks for counting; items for top of menu bar just for click-through.
Many of us don’t want “one for all” but location/placement specific usage.
I appreciate your positive attitude and your willingness to make your themes more functional and flexible. Thank you for your efforts!
Hi,
1. The CPT’s are on our list, we plan to modify the core and check for full functionality. I cannot provide an exact date for this implementation but i talked with the team and we hope to solve this in the near future(1-3 months). The theme was not built with Custom Post Types in mind, we have to make some tests and make the required modifications.
2. With pixels you get the same result/look on all devices. The grid is custom made and some elements have to be carefully controlled. We’ll try to see if it’s possible to transform the grid into a flexible (percentage) one but it will take some time and i don’t know if it’s possible(on some devices it may deliver different results and we don’t want that).
3. We plan to improve on this too in the future updates.
4. We know the limitations on the child-theme, the new API will add more flexibility to the theme customization and we plan to improve this area in the future updates.
Thanks for your suggestions, they are well founded and we’re certainly not offended. 🙂
Hi Lucian. That’s just perfect! Of course, do_shortcode is so flexible, all my nice blocks could be placed anywhere! Thank you very much for the thorough explanation and wonderful support. Definitely will recommend your theme and your team to the people. I wish “tagdiv” all the best!
With best regards 🙂
Hello! First of all, wanted to say thank you for such a flexible theme. Great stuff, after a month of using it I have found and added all the stuff I needed it seems, except 2 things.
The first and the most important one. Is it possible to add a filter (similar to “posts by the current author”) to a block? Or even make a new one that would work? What I want is to have one of the blocks (13) that would automatically show current author’s posts in the website/author/*** page. Trying to add “posts by member” to members profile pages.
And the second question.
When I have lots of photographs inside a post and using modal function for each of them, lightbox works perfectly and scrolls my page down along with content, sidebar scrolls up and down also fine. However, if you have a sidebar with more then 3 modules on it (eg. tall block with a few modules – 4th module (post in my case) is below the bottom screen line) and then scroll the page down by using lightbox several times (eg. 5-6 or more photographs), you can see that the sidebar scrolls down and stops (if it needs to) as well, but as soon as you close the lightbox by clicking outside a photograph, block with modules just disappears from the sidebar. Apparently it can be found at the bottom of the page by scrolling the page to the very bottom, or it appears immediately if you scroll up.
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi,
1. Please re-save your permalinks and see if it works. Also did you removed category base or use a plugin for permalinks? As on category page your permalink should look like this – http://screencast.com/t/BF7GQRaW0 – http://screencast.com/t/DiAPZWwKd
2. Please change the module to display articles on that category page: http://screencast.com/t/llrbIZG0
3. Try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/RynN7LMf
#flexi_searchbox {
margin:0 auto;
}
Thanks!
Setting the theme up again – biggest issue was how slowly everything was loading, but fixed that by going with MaxCDN. 2 things brought me back:
1. Theme flexibility w/post types
2. Support
I had some CSS for the theme before, and it’s in the ‘custom CSS’ in the theme options panel.
But I’m not seeing the results on the site: sunnyinkabul.com
For example, I styled quotes thus:
.td_quote_box p {
font-family: ‘PT Sans’, sans-serif !important;
color: #405952;
font-size: 20px !important;
line-height: 27px !important;
text-align: left;
padding-bottom: 16px;
margin: 0px;
}
But not seeing the results on this post:
http://sunnyinkabul.com/2015/03/24/why-the-us-wants-to-forget-about-female-afghan-pilots/
It’s still the same small font it was originally, center aligned, etc.
Site Speed test results: Pagespeed Insight
Hi,
I’m trying to improve the speed of the site, my mobile speed results are currently only 40/100
I’ve got Gzip on, I’m running Total Cache, I’ve compressed all images with EWWW
I have tried the TagDIV speed booster plugin with the steps outlined on this page
However, the list it produced didn’t seem to correlate with the actual page insight results (with the exception of a couple)

I’m wondering are able to provide a list of corresponding id’s for some of the above that I can try adding to the td-speed-booster.php file or should I just take every ID from the list and paste them into the speed-booster.php?
Any suggestions you can make would be greatly appreciated, I was considering trying Better Wordppress Minify Not sure is it’s compatible with the theme or not?
Cheers
You were right Chris! I just followed the documentation that comes with Revslider closely. Everything works fine now. Turns out I am a fan of revslider too. It is just as good as flexslider, perhaps even better!
Well… I prefer rev slider, and changing to newm slider as base would cause existing sites to not work, and there would be fee to upgrade as tagdiv would need to buy new license agreement. Not likely.
Best bet is to work with tagdiv on a consistent way to integrate flex slider for your needs.
Just an opinion.
Hi support,
Thanks again for building thisa marvellous theme for WordPress. I have been really satisfied with the buy, and with the support team too.
I was wndering, could you include Flexslider as the native slider in the next version of WordPress? The built-in slider is good, but it’s a little too simple. FlexSlider seems better than Revolution Slider, it has more features and better looks. It is also the best premium slider I have yet come across, the features are beyond comparison.
I understand that you guys have a lot of features on your plate. But I really feel that the slider is a very important part of the Newspaper theme, and FlexSlider will be a better option all around. I think most of your buyers will like it too.
Let me know what you think of the idea.
If you want a more flexible big slider or background don’t use the template Homepage with the BG and article list but use the Homepage with just article list. Then insert the big slider as an element from the Visual Composer on top of the page then if you want background Go to > Row Settings of the Big Slide and select Background then > Select Image Paralax and the most important thing is to select Maximum Full Width under Background Override. If you want to adjust the space between the slider and menu use a Spacer / Gap.
The other thing you can use is a Revolution Slider which comes with the theme and it is fully customizable like I did here – http://www.toppcnews.com.
