Hi Gwen,
If your featured image is larger that the thumb size, regenerating your thumbnails should fix your issue – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
If the issue persist you can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css, it will be applied on for homepage slider – http://screencast.com/t/y1HfGqAkm
.home .td-pb-span6 .td_block_slide .td-module-thumb, .home .td-pb-span6 .td_block_slide .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb {
height: 100%;
}Hope this helps!
Hi,
@FrozenGod Do you use Wigetised Sidebar block for your homepage, but it doesn’t change it? – http://screencast.com/t/W5xkPKmRjp
Also for post pages, if you use a custom sidebar for category template, the post will inherit that sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/koUf5vkxK
Please check this like Christopher suggested, without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Hi,
I see that when I click on that link it redirects to your homepage, but I don’t know what post it is. You have this issue only with a specific posts, as I have checked your site and clicked on few articles(standard, video) and did not found any issues. You can check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide more details(the link to the specific article so we can find it on your site) wp-admin access so we can take a look, paste a link to this topic so we know who you are and what your issue is.
To add ads to your homepagepage content via VC pagebuilder, you can use Ad Box block and set the ad you want to display – http://screencast.com/t/bIOp24LJrYC
For posts pages you can use the article inline ad spot and set it to appear after x paragraph – http://screencast.com/t/mG0q0d4qq
Thanks!
TagdiV back on Monday.
On our site we actually turned off Visual Composer and using the beta ‘shim’ for homepage, and added function in functions.php to disable loading visual composer on post pages.
VC is a memory hog. On our server we were getting spikes going from .70 to 70 (!) — with quad Xeons 32GB RAM and gigabit switch.
You can also try some simple optimizations:
a) turn off the “related” posts “more by author” bottom of post pages (I am using separate smaller footprint text based related posts plugin where I can set length of time to query vs “everything forever”)
b) limit number of queries on home page – try to have no more than 10 blocks
c) try not using megamenu
d) try not using the flyout “you might like …”
e) on sidebars try using only one module type; try using module with text only vs thumbs.
All those things cut waaaaaaay back on queries.

Hey,
I am using the slider module in a column (50%).
I know that is not the recommended column width and therefore the slider image is not cropped.
It shows some blank space on the bottom.
Does sb. know how to stretch the image inside the slider?
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
I’ve tried everything I could but this just doesn’t work on my side.
I’m trying to have different sidebars on the Homepage and the Single Post view but they’re both using ht esame template options in the Theme Panel.
I’ve also tried to change the sidebar option on my Home page (I’m using a custom home with Visual Composer).
Still it always uses the same Default Widget for all the site areas, so I think after 20+ hours of headache It’s time now to ask for help.
P.S: I think I also found a bug with the “News Ticker Title” – was trying to change the font size for the Ticker Title here:
Blocks/Widgets Title
News Ticker
News Ticker title
So eventually I had to Firebug and write my own custom CSS for it.
I’m really dissapointed that things are not going smooth at all with this theme, seems like lots of things are bugged or at least “Not so easy to edit”.
Thanks.
Hi this is link I was talking about that is not working and the video option was not showing. If I click on this posts it will take me back to the home page. http://wp.me/p4cq7A-lG
Which ad option to use if you trying to add ads on the homepage at the middle of the page?
Thanks
1. With regard to Author
Thank you so much. That helped.
But the homepage posts also showing author name.
http://www.screencast.com/t/qpW2xUISz
Author name should be hidden in home feed along with that hyphen.
2. With regard to Author box – Author Profile Page
It is hidden in posts page as expected. But when the author name is clicked.. the theme author box is still displayed. I would like to replace like below screenshots.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-author-box/screenshots/
I am advised following by plugin for manual insert but unable to find which php page to insert:
If you want to manually insert the Simple Author Box in your template file (single post view), you can use the following code snippet:
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘wpsabox_author_box’ ) ) echo wpsabox_author_box(); ?>
Please could you help where i need to insert this code.
My homepage: Viralbae.com
Please navigate to any post template and let me know if it can be customized to place next to date.
Thanks!
Hello,
I recently installed the latest version of Newspaper onto a site. I set up the homepage choosing one of the suggested layouts from Visual Composer. However, the problem is that the images are not showing on the home page at all, nor the slider or its’ images.
I’ve tried
-clearing cache
-deactivating all plugins 1 by 1
How do I fix this?
Hello ppcker,
You can set your homepage to any page from here: http://screencast.com/t/xpKatNSTG
Create your page to your prefference in visual composer and set it as homepage or edit the existing homepage: http://screencast.com/t/XXaDY7cRR – it will be marked as Front Page in the pages section.
Thank you!
This helps.
If the the content block only has 5 spots for posts and I feature 6 stories (sorted by date), does the 6th one bump the 1st one out of being featured? Or, do I have to manually un-feature one in order to get the 5 that I want to show up in the content block on the homepage.
Thanks.
Thanks for feedback. One more followup.
If we have a header banner next to the logo, I can go to my mobile and see that one.
If I have two side by side banners UNDER the navigation (using the code above), where on mobile will those turn up?
If I put in 10 side banner ads, where will those show up on mobile?
Ideally, the 3 banners by the navigation show up at top of mobile…then content, then the 10 side banners followed by footer banner, etc.
Is that correct? Is there a mobile test site where I can see where all the banners on a single homepage or post page show up?
Hi there!
My homepage is a custom page of type “Pagebuilder + Latest articles + Pagination” and I would like to know how to add some additional elements below pagination, as this option is not available in Pagebuilder. Custom code would be fine as well.
Thanks.
Normally a static page designed to build custom home page is not intended for public, but only for system builder to use as framework for loading the main page …
meaning for home page you want people to go to:
yoursite.vvv
not
yoursite.vvv/homepage
so it’s correct for “homepage” not to be linkable or loadable —
you instead make the link which SAYS “home” or “homepage” in menu link to just the actual home for web, which would be yoursite.vvv …
did that help ?
Maybe I’m not getting it either 😉
Try resaving permalinks, turning off any new plugins — if something “suddenly” stops working, it usually comes from a plugin update that no longer “plays nice” — a caching issue, or issue with CDN/similar.
Try
a) resave permalinks
b) clear any/all caching
c) turn off all plugins except Visual Composer.
See what happens.
Might or might not help. I’ve also found naming the static home page something other than “home” works better, like “homepager” since the static page isn’t supposed to be seen by anyone — it’s just for building the page which gets loaded by the theme as the default home; so nobody should be going to yoursite.zz/nameofhomepage
My static homepage isn’t showing up anymore.
If I un-set the page in settings->reading I can see it by going to the link:
http://mydailyread.com/home/
but if set it to be the homepage, it just shows up as a blank page.
I also created a test page with the same results.
Thanks,
Tom
OK,
I created a test page and added it in the main menu. Then i deleted the page and the main menu still has a link to my deleted page: http://screencast.com/t/KXIBW3Vr. See where this is going? You had a page named like that, and a link in the menu created for it, but in the meantime the page got deleted and the link does not work anymore. If you want to keep the name:’HOMEPAGE’, you can create a new page and name it the same.
I hope this sheds some light on the subject 🙂
Thanks.
Thanks Bogdan, I understand. How do I edit this Homepage when it isn’t showing up in my pages list? Is this because it was one of the template pages?
Hi !
I don’t find how to enable unique articles on my homepage. Could you explain me how to do please ?
Thanks !
Hello broadstone,
I see your homepage is already set to a page called ‘Home’. You cannot have 2 homepages set from WordPress. You can create your own page and set it to the homepage link you added in your menu.
You can also change the desired WP homepage from here: http://screencast.com/t/ANzGBnye.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
