Hi,
The author box element was designed to work as a list, so there is no easy way of making it accross the whole content. you can however use 2 author blocks on a split row so you have 2 columns of authors. You will have to filter the authors for both blocks so you do not have duplication.
For the author thumbs you can use this css to make avatars round:
.td_top_authors img{
border-radius:35px!important
}
Note that the author avatars can be circles as the problem you mentioned comes from the aspect ratio. If an image is ‘wide’ and not square, you cannot make it a circle. if you want to have circles on your homepage, please use a block that uses square images like block 21 for example: http://screencast.com/t/TPI0J2hIbEOh
You can make a square round but not a rectangle.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello guys, can you let me know please how to get this style?
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/homepage-with-a-post-featured/
thanks
First of all let me start by saying that we have been TagDiv / Newspaper users for 2 years now and after all this time in our opinion TagDiv continues to deliver the best quality theme we could find (although we were a bit lucky at the time to pick NP, not that much research behind it, lucky us :)).
The website: http://goalpoint.pt/
Now to the plead for help:
– We’ve just updated from version 4.x to 7.1.1 (yes, it was an odissey)
– After launch most of the stuff is working great and we are very happy with our new website (hey TagDiv, time to refresh our screenshot in your showcase gallery) but we have a couple of problems still that maybe the community and/or TagDiv can comment on:
1 – Mobile translations? – Our site is written mainly in portuguese so we always used the translation mode in the theme panel with no problems. We did it again. Everything looks fine except for… the mobile theme. “Latest Articles”, “About Us” and “Follow us” are translated in the web version but persist in english in the mobile version. Is there a place were we can/should edit this information? Tks
2 – “Invisible” News Ticker – After updating to 7.1.1 and updating Visual Composer and Social Counter accordingly everything looked fine in staging. Yet, after going live, the top news ticker disappeared and is nowere to be found. We’ve removed it and reinserted it several times with no success. We can see it in the homepage builder mode but it stopped showing. The curious part is that we have the staging version running exacly at the same update level (except content) in our servers and it looks fine. Hints?
There are some other minor (so to speak) problems like category exclusion filtering in various homepage components messing up the category atribuition/relations but those are probably either mistakes on our side or bugs to be attended in the future. These two problems are the only main issues between us and a more than great website (and so much faster) for our objectives.
Thanks in advance for any help, much appreciated

Hello,
If you want this to be a block on the homepage, you can simply use css to do it like for example if I would like to change the images on a block 7:
You would add this css in the theme panel->custom css box:
.td_block_7 .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb{
border-radius: 35px;
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/u7xwCePWPiV3
I hope this helps.
Thank you!

Hi,
Mi homepage is : http://postimg.org/image/dzw9rg2r5/
How I can put one or more blocks in section 2, respecting the sidebar?
I want to keep the sidebar how this, on the right side. But on the left side I want to put different blocks can I?
Hi
We need to hide the below mentioned on the website
1. Homepage – Post date & author name
2. Category Page – Category name, Author Name & Post date
3. Block 9 & 10 – instead of dashes a line is required
Hi,
Every homepage style you see on our demo is created in visual composer as a standard page. The url changes in our demo as well: http://screencast.com/t/aeDzlkRQ1
Every page you create will get an url from wordpress whether you use visual composer or not. Our theme does not change this behavior. The url will be hidden if you set your page as a homepage though.
If you would like to change the wordpress structure, you will have better luck on the official WP forum:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-remove-home-in-my-homepage-permalink-in-the-edit-page-mode
Thank you!
Ignore my gut saying this is probably a visual compose issue. I disabled it and the theme panel still runs really slow. The homepage doesn’t contain anything right now so the slow load may not be that visible, but when you log in to the them panel, it is terribly slow.
Hello,
I did a search in the forum and saw that other people encountered similar problems with mine. However, my situation is a bit different therefore I created a new topic. If you feel it would be better to move this somewhere else, in a different topic, please do so, by all means!
So to the issue: I just installed Newspaper and Visual Composer on a dedicated server. The problem is that the homepage loads too slow (gmetrix says loading time is 45 seconds!!!), regardless of whether I have caching installed. I tried disabling all plugins with no luck. Then I totally deleted my installation of wordpress and did the whole thing from scratch. The second I enabled the theme and visual composer, the homepage became terribly slow again, even though I haven’t really used it, or created any posts! My gut says that this is more a Visual Composer issue rather than the topic. Please note that i manually installed the Visual Composer and not by the theme page.
The interesting thing is that, on the same server I have another installation of wordpress using Newsmag and the visual composer and it works like a charm! Not only that, this installation is a live website with more than 40 posts per day and more than 25000 visits per day and it works flawlessly! I could really use some help to identify what went wrong! If you need wp-admin access, please let me know!
Thanks

Hi, guys
I’ve checked the information about creating a homepage and I have a question: is it mandatory to create a PAGE, using Visual Composer, in order to have a new HOMEPAGE?
When creating a new PAGE it always remains a permalink (if the title of the page is ‘my_home_page’ the permalink would be myweb.com/my_home_page/) and I don’t wanna have this kind of useless URL’s hanging around the web.
Ain’t an easy way to choose homepage styles as you do in http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/, where you can just select the style you want for your homepage?
Thanks.
Hey guys,
I’m a bit of a noob with css, but I try 🙂
I added a newsletter sign up box on my homepage for the mobile theme. It looks good, but there it is aligned with the latest post below. I would like it to be full width, just like the featured posts are.
What custom css could I use to achieve this? It would be great if you could point me in the right direction. Below the custom CSS (I copy-pasted it from regular page):
#mc_embed_signup input.email {
display: block;
padding: 6px 0;
/*margin: 0 40% 15px 0;*/
margin: auto;
/*margin-bottom: 15px;*/
text-indent: 5px;
width: 70%;
min-width: 80px;
/*margin-left: 1px;*/
line-height: 14px;
border-radius: 5px;
}
#mc_embed_signup {
background: #669fb7;
clear: left;
font: 14px;
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
border-radius: 10px;
margin-top: 11px;
}
#mc_embed_signup input.button {
display: block;
margin-bottom: 11px;
margin: auto;
width: 40%;
}
#mc_embed_signup .button {
clear: both;
background-color: #3b5998;
border: 0 none;
border-radius: 4px;
color: white;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 34px;
line-height: 31px;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
vertical-align: top;
white-space: nowrap;
max-width: 400px;
}
#mc_embed_signup input {
border: 1px solid grey;
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
#mc_embed_signup form {
display: block;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
padding: 20px 0 8px 0%;
}
#mc_embed_signup label {
display: block;
font-size: 16px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
margin-right: 10px;
}
Hi everyone. I just installed newsmag and I was wondering how I can go about customizing the home page to look like the demo page. I want to add different sections and stuff but I dont know where to start doing this.
Hello,
Every demo has a custom style set to it using custom css. If you want to reduce the top padding of your homepage, yopu can use this code:
.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 5px!important;
}
Thank you!
Hello. I have:
Blog and Post Template M15
Tags M15
Categories M15… almost all M15.
I mainly use the full posts with manual “read more”.
I am having a lot of errors (100k de LipseČ™te: author) Missing Author in google. Using rich snippets tool I see “hentry” for all posts I have. error appear in homepage link, categories links, tags links, second pages, everywhere… but not in posts, according to google.
example:
@type hentry
entry-title my title
updated 5 June 2016
bookmark my link
I noticed hentry present in view page, in browser
“…<div class=”td_module_15 td-animation-stack td_module_no_thumb post-7816 post type-post status-publish format-standard sticky hentry category-news tag-impression tag-reserve td-post-content”>”
“<div class=”td_module_15 td-animation-stack td_module_no_thumb post-7160 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-level tag-henderson td-post-content”>”
how to get rid of hentry in M15’s? seems like this is my problem…?
I want to show post in three column like block 15 or 16 style in latest article area in pagebuilder + latest article + pagination template .
In default, post are showing in two column in latest article , but I want to show in 3 column using block 15 or 16.
How to do it ?
Hi,
Upon more investigation I found that the homepage in newspaper 7 got an extra class and a h1 tag for SEO purposes so the solution in the documentation must be updated as well. The code you used seems to work properly and affect all of the pages. It’s just the homepage that gets the extra class.
Thank you!
Hello,
Try to use this code for the logo:
.td-logo img{
width:130px!important;
}
This code will re-size the logo to the desired dimension and align it to the center of the screen. It should work for every page not just the homepage.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi Catalin,
thanks for your support.
Please check the screenshots:
1. Duplicated title is in browser window
2. 3. Homepage is a static page
Other pages have correct titles, without any duplicates.

Hi guys, use the homepage post in the start page (perfect). My question: Is there a way to remove the tinted filter (in the middle)? Code?
Many thanks for reply,
Manfred
Hi
Please provide more details about your issue as I have troubles understanding you. Also provide your site url so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Meanwhile make sure you have updated the theme and Visual Composer plugin according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also check these links for more details about how to build a homepage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
