Hi,
If you disable the post views and ajax post views from theme panel the post views data will not be updated anymore so if the “popular” sort option would not be accurate.
If you don’t want to lose track of your posts count you can just disable the function from modules/post templates or just hide it via css: http://screencast.com/t/tBtJOjbnCs or via css using this css:
.td-post-views {
display: none;
}
We will also add an option to hide this or disable it on next updates.
Thanks
Hi,
Use the following css to hide it (add it inside Theme Panel -> Custom CSS):
.td-theme-slider .td-slide-views {
display: none;
}
Thanks
Hi,
I want to hide the post view counter and the eye icon on my homepage slider. I can’t seem to find the option in the theme panel settings.
Well, yes, YOAST SEO has had some on/off issues, including a security issue. Which is why I normally don’t jump on the “update” until reviewing the changelog, and then waiting for a dot revision. There was one period where they were adding all the Google analytics stuff and that caused issues, and they did five revisions in 2 days (!). But it never hampered publishing.
The issue we *did* have with publishing was the “remove stop words” function, causing some links to not work right. But we could still publish stuff.
Also had issue with trying to hide the /category/ in front of /category/catname/ to have one less path – that didn’t work well as we use a lot of sub-cats for easier navigation (e.g., book reviews, fiction, and poetry might all be under “reads” to separate from movies/tv and music).
Still, some YOAST functions do require you to actually go through each screen and tweak.
ALSO: when updating the plugin, sometimes the settings get wonked, and your sitemap suddenly doesn’t work (!). I had that happen recently.
So…. usually if I update Yoast WordPress SEO, I go through the settings and resave just to make sure the dbase entries are correct/updated for the plugin.
YOU MIGHT TRY THAT… just go through and resave settings, double check social media stuff, resave sitemap stuff (I sometimes change from 1000 per page to 999 per page to “force” refresh that). Stupid stuff like that. Couldn’t hurt 🙂
But generally (sorry to keep using that word so often) … there is no conflict between the basic functions of WordPress SEO and the theme. And none of the problems were theme related, but due to plugin problems, which might be addressed on the support page for the plugin also.
Hi,
1. You need to do this hardcoded as the theme doesn’t have an option for this so you need to edit the posts template file/files you use and add a condition there to show author only if is the category you want. If you don’t know how to do it I suggest to hire a developer or a freelancer to do it for you as you need custom work for this and we cannot provide any at this time because we work hard on development, updates and support.
2. Unfortunately the mega menu is designed to work using subcategories and for this changes you need custom work as well.
3. Use this custom css to remove that white space: http://screencast.com/t/K8uNc3rOTO9
.home .td-pb-row [class*="td-pb-span"] {
margin-bottom: -99999px !important;
padding-bottom: 99999px;
}
.home .td-container {
border-bottom: 0px;
}
4. The thumbs used on mega menu are created when you upload an image, you need to regenerate thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
5. You can edit the post template 2 (single_template_2.php) file and replace the date function using this WordPress function: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_time and get the time format you need.
6. You can use css for this but the issue appears when you try to target it to apply the css just to it as the other sidebar are also added using an text widget so you need to find a way to add a custom class which you can use to target and apply your custom css using the media snippet I’ve pasted below:
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
add your css code here
}
7. Use this css to hide the views and comments: http://screencast.com/t/Fuptfv3R9jBY
To have the meta section of the slider to look like in the image you need custom work.
Thanks
Hi! Congrats on the great template. In fact I was going to use Newspaper for my site initially —which I bought a month ago— but then I saw Newsmag and had to change my plans and buy this one too.
I am migrating my site from Joomla, and have everything set but a few things that I really need help, please:
1.- I need to hide author on post (both below title and author box) on some categories. I need most of the categories to show the author, but I need to hide it on two or three.
2.- I loved megamenu, and for it to work properly I had to group some categories in a parent category, but this way my permalink get changed, too long (I’m using the custom option /%category%/%postname%/). So, is there a way to have three or four categories on a megamenu without having to group these categories under one parent?
3.- Little white spaces between Video List and Footer, and between Block 2 (black, sidebar) and Video List –> dev site
4.- The image cropping is not working right. Images on Megamenu are being stretched instead of cropped. Is there a way to crop all images (thumbs) on the template?
5.- I customized date format on the top menu, and other format for blocks, but now I need a third format for posts. how can i do this (Post template style 2)?
6.- I need a sidebar widget (Facebook like box) to not show on screens from 768px to 1023px. And how can I center it on the column when showing?
7.- On 2-columns Slider (homepage), is it possible to not show Views and Comments? And is it possible to change the half-opaque-layer to something like this:
Regards,
Felipe Z.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay! I have checked your site and noticed that you have managed to hide the views via css. Please note that you can also remove them from this file: http://screencast.com/t/xKPMevXn24vP
Result: http://screencast.com/t/XvrXfOa4zFp
Thanks
Normally we convert ALL fonts to Open Sans (with Newspaper, anyway); so typically we would open the style.css, search/replace all fonts to what we want, then edit the functions.php … but now would edit the td_fonts.php to REMOVE all the google fonts not being used; this ensures they don’t “print” in the head/foot of the posts online.
I have not yet done this for the fonts.
For our sites we have to do the following each update
1) update the hook for the post views to “views” from existing field
2) edit the search file to remove breadcrumbs (I don’t need those on indexes for each story)
3) edit functions.php to put various elements for us at bottom, such as changing default compression for images/thumbs, adding note to poke hackers trying the lost password function, turn off XMLRPC elements in header, remove Yoast from menu bar in admin, hide header elements like versions, hide use of visual composer, etc. — many common “optimizations” for WordPress sites.
4) edit header to remove the section for video thumbnails and this stupid thing
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>" />
5) optimize the fonts, by doing the aforementioned house cleaning on style css file, and removing the extra google font calls.
Your mileage may vary 🙂
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. I have added this on our issue list and we will fix this in the next update.
You can use this css to fix the title and hide the views and comments until we fix this: http://screencast.com/t/IPSCqrtY
.td_mod_aj_search .entry-title a, .td_mod_aj_search .entry-title {
white-space: normal;
}
.td-aj-search-results .td_mod_aj_search .entry-comments-views {
display: none;
}
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I have disabled comments on my site but the little comments icon (the one with the text balloon en the number next to the views icon) is still visible. How can I hide the comments icon? I’d like to keep the views icon.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can hide them via css, if you want to hide the whole meta info you can use this custom css into the custom css field in theme panel:
.archive .meta-info, .home .item-details .meta-info {
display: none;
}or you can target the category/author/date/views & comments count individual like this and hide them:
.archive .meta-info .td-category, .archive .meta-info .td-block-author, .archive .meta-info .entry-date, .archive .meta-info .entry-comments-views,
.home .item-details .meta-info .td-category, .home .item-details .meta-info .td-block-author, .home .item-details .meta-info .entry-date, .home .item-details .meta-info .entry-comments-views {
display: none;
}Hope this helps!
Thanks
hi,
there are 2 solutions:
1)you can use this css to hide the space:
.meta-info {
display:none;
}here: http://screencast.com/t/qhXi93L3rC
but the problem is , it will hide that space every where on your site.
————————-
2) find your modules : http://screencast.com/t/NKAtK4yCTs
then find the module 5 php file and comment out or remove that line, like: http://screencast.com/t/nyARcQrkNDJ8
Thanks for you message.

Hi,
Of course, see here: http://screencast.com/t/n4XbZP4S
Thanks!
hi, using caching system, views are not equal to reality..
there is a way to hide with function the column of stats views from all post?
thanks
Hi,
Do you want that only on homepage?
If yes you need to change the code a little like here: http://screencast.com/t/juHedPQjTC
$buffy .= '<div class="hide-comment">';
$buffy .= '</div>';
$buffy .= '<div class="hide-views">';
$buffy .= '</div>';And add this CSS in theme panel -> Custom CSS
.hide-views {
display: inline-block;
}
.hide-comment {
display: inline-block;
}
.home .hide-views {
display: none;
}
Every time we copy the code from development to staging we loose all of our Theme panel settings for Newspaper. For example each time we move to a new environment we copy the entire database over but it doesn’t remember that we want to hide all the social media icons, views and comments. We want to turn all of these off each time we copy the database for testing. Is this a config file stored somewhere? If so, can you tell us what directory it is located?
Hi,
To hide the date on the search use this CSS, add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
.td-aj-search-results .entry-date {
display: none;
}
.td-aj-search-results .entry-comments-views .td-sp-ico-comments {
margin-left: 0px !important;
}About the search page please give me more details, do you want the results to be only pages? Please can give me more details, or explain better, or show me a screenshot with a diagram explain.
Thanks for the message!
Also How do i get rid of the eye next to the comments (I presume they are the views but compared to askimet stats they get a lower number so I want those eyes to dissapear from the page 8delete it or hide it pls… thnx
Hello, I know I should not ask for any kind of customization, but because of an aggressive caching system (I suppose), post views are not the same of My google Analytics views. I don’t know, but I think it would be better to hide this feature.
Can you explain me how to hide it please?
Thank you!
Hi, folks
in testing the deployment on an almost new site; got through all the normal stuff (resize thumbs, get all plugins in, switch off old plugs not used; and made the one ‘hack’ to use existing views field).
Ran into one thing, which is the “authors” widget when placed in the default sidebar, there is no way to disable the superuser (changed from admin for security), using the visibility > hide > author > superguy doesn’t hide that user. Similarly, swapping that for ‘show’ vs hide and show 3 authors, still shows the superuser regardless of sort by name or number of posts.
Not using any cache plugin, and same behavior in both Crhome/Win7 and IE10/Win7 (not that this matters).
This is v1.4a, the first one, which also still reports something needs to be updated when it’s not. 😉
I am going to FTP the “latest” v1.4b (I added the a, b for my own peace of mind, not that you did that) up in a moment, just letting you know I ran into this glitch (only one so far).
