Hello @kharondev!
In that guide are presented also the settings to change that aspect ratio by percentage(for example in the flex block 1).
Also, you can create custom modules: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/
Thank you!
Hello @kharondev!
Check this guide for the default blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
If you use Flex Block 1, for example, or a custom module, then you have the possibility to set the sizes for every module image.
If you upload an image that is smaller than your size from settings, then this could appear blurry and not of high quality. I suggest you upload the images in your Media Library in full size (1920 px): https://prnt.sc/YzxtrT24bGKM
Thank you!
Hi,
You can create a module builder to display the date using acf on the block -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-builder-flex-loop-builder/
Thank you!
I want all the images in the modules I use to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio. If they are to shrink or expand within a flex structure, I want them to adhere to this ratio. How can I achieve this?
Hello Alex!
1. Unfortunately, no.
2. If you have 2 blocks of Flex Block 4 there, then you can copy-paste the style (copy the entire style or only a part of the style, for example, copy style image) from the first block to the second one only if they are the same. You can select the element by right-clicking and choosing copy style, then click on the second block and paste the style. If you have only one block with 2 columns, then all the settings are already applied. Probably the images are not the same size; this could be possible.
There is a possibility to copy-paste the same element where you want. Also, you can have two pages opened in the tagdiv composer and paste them on the other page as well. You can save the entire element, give it a name, and when you open a new page in the tagdiv, the composer can be found in the shortcodes list. Just search after the name you give it, and you can place it where you want.
I hope that helps you!
Thank you!

Hi,
I started using The Events Calendar plugin and I want to show events in a Flex Box. I belive Newspaper is treating these posts as custom post types, so I should be able to list them. Still it doesn’t work properly, it only lists one event and when I click on it, the link is broken. Pleas assist me with this matter.

Hi,
To sort the block for Popular (24h,48h and 7days) you need to have added the element SINGLE POST VIEWS => https://i.imgur.com/pLWuoSS.png -> https://i.imgur.com/BbrBmL0.png, also, for Popular you need to have this option enable https://i.imgur.com/grI3bti.png
The sort option will be displayed popular posts of the last 48 hours, those can be older posts.
Also, for this, I recommend using cache option on the blocks -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/use-flex-blocks-cache-option/
Also, what version of the theme do you have?
Thank you!
Hi
We are using Flex Block 1 in top news items here: https://squashmad.com/
As you can see, the main story link is then duplicated in the latest news box next to it. Is there a way of stopping this?
thanks
Hello,
You can create your own CPT and taxonomies, and if you want to create a module to show what details you want, then you can create your own modules.

Hello!
Unfortunately, you cannot specify the interval time to choose the random post.

Hello @sotirow96!
There are some flex block builders using the Module Template: Case Studies. You can also edit the module template. Documentation is here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/.
Thank you!
Hello,
You can’t use two filters at the same time; you can use a post ID or filter category.
You can customize the category template. For the category template, please use a posts loop; if you have set a posts loop, it will display all posts in this category. Alternatively, you can use Flex Block/Big Grid Flex and set the filter to “Category -Current category” => https://i.imgur.com/7P99qx0.png. This is why the block will display posts for each category.
Thank you!
I have a blogpost in that category, and also tried putting in the post-id but it still doesn’t pull up.

Hello Team,
Running Newspaper with caching.
On my main page I display (amongst other) news articles in Flex Block 1 with
> Filter
– All Categories
– Random Posts
If I hit F5 as a visitor, the blog articels don’t change, where as I check the page when being logged in as administrator the same time, different blog articles do show up (which is my intention).
Is there a setting that I can use in order to force different articles shown every time the main page shows, although I caching it?
This 2nd block is created using the Flex Loop Builder. It has pagination. When you select 3,4,5 etc. page it is continuously showing the same posts.
I’m using a module template (created from scratch) comprised of 3 separate flex blocks.
Screenshot
UPD: Unique articles. It seems that it’s working only for the 1st page of the loop. All other pages display the same articles from the module.
Please look and try to switch the loop pages.
+ When you swith the page for some reason you can’t reach/scroll to the top flex module anymore🥲
Code is removed.
Unique articles is working! Thanks!

The “timeread” question still remains. Which module? Do you mean I should create unique modules for each flex block I’m using?
Hello! I’m working on customizing the content loop for my homepage using the Custom Loop Builder. My goal is to design an unbalanced composition featuring 1 large square and 4 smaller ones. However, whenever I choose a pre-created (by me) module in the Flex Loop Builder, it keeps repeating the same posts. Could you please advise me on what I might be doing incorrectly?
+ Can I somehow include a plugin shortcode inside of the post meta? I want to display “timeread” for my posts and plugin only enables it within the article but not post previews.

I tried this with another page, added a FlexBlock 1 and then indeed the ordering does work BUT despite the Option “Show modified date” ist activated or not always the modified date is shown and never just the published date that I need.
Another strange thing: “Enable time ago” and “Time ago add. text” works even when “Show modified date” isn’t activated.
Hello,
I checked the website, and it is underconstruction.
The social icons from the mobile menu come from the Theme Panel -> Social/Apis -> Social Networks -> https://i.imgur.com/kKYIECB.png. Remove/edit them as needed.
If you using the Flex Block or Big Grid Flex in the layout is the option “Show author”, and you can choose to hide => https://www.screencast.com/t/6UPXQbiTO2
You can customize the category template. For the category template, please use a posts loop; if you have set a posts loop, it will display all posts in this category.
