I am new to this theme and just messing around trying to set up a homepage and I noticed that when I select the different modules for latest articles it is only 1 column instead of 2. If i get rid of the sidebar then 2 will fit, but I would like it to look like the demo site with 2 columns of articles using module 1. It looks like there is plenty of room, its just white space. Also, the demo site is a full inch wider than my site, how can I make my site wider?
Hi All,

Hello,

Yoast SEO has had numerous bugs, check the changelog sometime to see how many bugs they have had. My contention was simply that using Yoast SEO as a “comparator” to anything else related to bugs, is not a good metric.
Total number of changelog items is clearly not a good metric for determining how buggy software is. There’s no way for a developer to anticipate how their software will work once it’s installed in a million websites. Without an analysis of the major releases, subsequent point releases, and any discovered negative impacts to the entire user base, you can’t just call WordPress SEO plugin “buggy”.
H1 is useful on home page; H2 also useful for topical elements such as section heads, but not so much for story heads ad they are ephemeral; meaning, they change daily, so they are not sticky and therefore not relevant to long-term, long-tail SERPS placement.
Blocks/modules that contain “featured content” or “most popular posts” can live on the home page indefinitely. I would argue that most niche site home pages do not change daily. If someone adds new content every day, they are likely more “authority” or “news” than “niche”. Niche sites rely on on-page SEO more heavily than authority or news sites.
If my homepage contains an H1 containing “Best Sprocket Reviews – SprocketReview.com” and an H2 link containing “Samsung Turbo Sprocket Review”, does this provide zero SEO benefit to my article in your opinion?
I only speak as an SEO expert having been building websites since March 1995… but what the hell do I know?
That’s all great but in this thread you suggested that short posts don’t rank, missing alt tags I defined are not a theme concern, 800-1200 word original content in lieu of on-page SEO is adequate for “the best SEO”, and H1 & H2 do not provide the benefit on homepages and archives to warrant adding them to the theme. I don’t think SEOs would agree with this.
Having the theme selectively add H1 to the home page is not as hard as you make it out to be. In one of my themes it’s accomplished with a single IF statement.
Having the theme add H1 and H2 to the home page and archive pages will help more users than it would hurt. Almost all of the sites listed on page one of the showcase thread are missing H1 and H2 on their home and archive pages. Sure, we can say that these users are responsible for knowing and correcting their own SEO. Or, the theme can help users who don’t know any better. The latter option is clearly better than the former.
One might also argue it’s useful to inspect the demo of a theme before buying it…
I actually mentioned the header issues to TagDiv before buying the theme (5/4 email). I purchased the theme anyway because I liked it and planned to pursue getting the SEO issues fixed. TagDiv has added the H1, H2, and Alt Tag issues to the list so, so far so good. I’ll be running more SEO tests on the theme when I get time.
…then using it, then posting numerous times how bad it is or buggy, vs. requesting possible changes politely?
I never said Newspaper was bad or buggy. To the contrary, in this very thread I said “I love the theme”, I said Newspaper was “awesome” and I said Newspaper “is not buggy”. All of my replies to TagDiv have been polite. You are clearly mischaracterizing what I said.
All this effort to block adding two HTML tags to a WordPress theme. Geez…
alt tags – I’ve tested the alt tags and they seem to work. Please let me know where did you encounter missing alt tags and I will fix them. Anyway I will do an audit for this in the following days.
h1 – there are a lot of big news sites that do not have h1 on the homepage.. http://www.theverge.com/ http://techcrunch.com/ http://readwrite.com/ and many more…. I believe this is a strong argument that H1 H2 on homepage is a personal preference not a requirement. Big sites like them have dedicated staff that monitor and analyze this stuff. I’m sure a company like VOX media with over 400 employees (the owners of theverge) would not penalize their site by forgetting to put a h1.
h2 on archives… again the same result. A lot of the big sites do not use such a thing.
the TagDiv page title issue – was a huge mistake on our part and I’ve missed it. Usually I do the final code reviews and I did not notice this one 😐
@Johnny you can add h1 and h2 on the homepage via visual composer.
@kecodoc please contact us via email: contact@tagdiv.com
Hi Team at tagDiv,
The problem I am having is that the block settings will not load when I click to edit a block. For instance, I load up my homepage, click on the edit button for a block and a box opens up but it is completely blank with just 2 options to close or save changes. The box also sticks to the bottom of my screen and when I drag it up, it returns to the bottom immediately.
Do you know why this might be happening?
Thanks for your help,
Rich
Number 6, I mean having different click links for different category backgrounds is also very important to us. Looking forward to seeing this option. Because when I link an ad in homepage and a different ad in subsection background, they forward to same link. Problem is, these different ads are from direct competitors and they don’t like it.
Best Regards,
I use “Ad rotate” plugin to manage some ads and I use shortcode in homepage to show some of them. I placed the shortcode as HTML pure in the visual editor box.
Everything was ok, but this morning the ads are not displayed in home page, and just can’t see the shortcake text in its place.
What’s the problem?
Thank U
Hi,
I have an author profile completed and also set up a page to display all authors. When I try to preview the author page or click on the author name to take me to the author page I get directed to the site homepage.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
Also – Is there any way to exclude categories from the ‘latest’ post section on the homepage?
Thanks,
Arran
Hi,
The Big Grid blocks were designed to be displayed like this on mobile devices – small thumbs will work like a slider on mobile – http://screencast.com/t/yyN6il0y – http://screencast.com/t/JpLxXbjHXT
You can use Big Grid Slider it will be displayed like in version 4 on mobile devices(just set post limit to at least 8) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/homepage-issue-with-big-grid-3-style-1/#post-55259
Also if you want to hide it on mobile you can use media queries via custom css – http://screencast.com/t/wnbKRocOC
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.home .td_block_big_grid_1 {
display: none !important;
}
}
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks Chris!
@Thalisson please check theme’s documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Also check our youtube channel for some video tutorials(we will add more) – https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv/videos
You will have to create your homepage using pagebuilder and also you can set it as frontpage from Settings – http://screencast.com/t/oBu9XYk7
Thanks!
This is just a suggestion, not an issue. I would love to see a big grid that spans the entire width of the homepage, though not much taller. I’d also love to see a post template layout similar to style 3 but where the photo spans the entire width of the page (and not as tall there too). Hoping you’ll consider these options for the next update. Thanks!
Hello,
Big grid 1 is not responsive on my homepage and big grid 7 is also not responsive on my category pages?
See homepage on desktop:
http://postimg.org/image/av6ni423j/
On mobile posts are cut off on the big grid 1:
http://postimg.org/image/onl2dqsv3/
This is same with big grid 7 on all category pages:
http://postimg.org/image/5apktqdun/
The site is: toat.com
What can be done to make the grids responsive or to remove the grids for mobile only?
Thanks,
Arran
I didn’t see a suggestion box thread so I thought I’d add one. Here it goes…
1. Add H1 header tag to home page.
Yes, we can add a text block that contains H1. However, many users will not know how to do this. Thus, many users will never have H1 on their homepage which negatively impacts SEO. Another theme I use detects if the current page is the home page, and if so, it applies H1 to the logo and hidden text containing the site title and tagline.
2. Add an option to the blocks that allows users to select a header tag for the block title.
This will allow users to get H2 tags on the home page and archive pages. For the predefined templates, H2 should be selected on the home page and archive page blocks.
3. Include Alt tags in the images contained in blocks.
Every piece of media I have has an alt tag define for it. I would like these alt tags used. In cases where the alt tag is not defined, perhaps there can be an option to use the article title or the media filename as the alt tag.
4. Make it so that interacting with smart lists generates a distinct view in google analytics. I don’t know if this is hard or possible but it would provide users with a great benefit in terms of page views and add impressions.
5. Make it an option that when a site visitor clicks “next” on the last smart list item, they are sent to a new URL we specify. This is a sneaky way to get views on additional articles.
6. Ability to select background images and a URL and target for these images for a category, page, or post.
7. Allow admins to use HTML in their author page bio.
8. Ability to easily embed Facebook comments in addition to regular comments. Perhaps FB comments and regular comments can be placed in adjacent columns, full width without a sidebar next to them? That would be AWESOME. Throw in Google plus comments while you are at it. I’d pay extra for all of this. 🙂
I’ve tried a dozen themes. I’ve thoroughly reviewed all of the top selling theme demos on Theme Forest. Newspaper is in the top 3 themes I’ve ever used. I hope the SEO issues (1-3 above) can be resolved soon. Of note, a lot of the top selling Theme Forest themes have the same header tag issues.
Hi,
You can use blocks without thumbnails like block 9 or 10 – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-9/ for your homepage and also for you category page – http://screencast.com/t/BjNjEp7g Also if you want to use another modules or blocks without the thumbnails you can remove it from the code for each module – http://screencast.com/t/08aOLT9Cjv but you may need additional css customizations – http://screencast.com/t/wszdbxRHD
Thanks!
Hi,
1. You can install the sport demo style with/without the content so it will import setting used on our sport stack – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_sport/ create your homepage using pagebuilder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ and also set your page template – http://screencast.com/t/aopaRVwr
2. You can use Big Grid Slider or IOS Slider on your page if you to slide the articles – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/ – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/
3. You can customize the ajax pagination using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css, if you don’t have basic experience I suggest to get someone to help you for these customizations as we cannot provide custom work at this time, but we can do some suggestions.
4. Not sure what you mean, please provide more details – you can check our demo and see all tagdiv blocks – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
5. Please provide more details about this.

Hello,
I would like to make the links contained in posts and pages bold, like in this website:
http://screencast.com/t/psn1t3Ipb
Of course I don’t want the links in the homepage and sidebars bold too, so this is why I am wondering if I can just isolate the links in posts and pages.
Thank you.
Hello,
As you can understand from the topic title, I want to use this theme without thumbnails. For example I want my homepage to show post lists from different categories without thumbnail placeholder. And of course, the categories page also must show posts without thumbnails.
How can I do this?
I really like how the stories are laid out on the frontage of theverge.com with horizontal and vertical blocks automatically integrating. Is there a way to make this layout on WordPress?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/350tfuy3k48yicz/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-16%20at%2011.49.41%20AM.png?dl=0
The homepage post in visual composer isn’t quite what I had in mind.
I prefer this kind of homepage post here http://www.mindbodygreen.com/ across the entire screen width with no background and not dulled down but bright.
Any idea how I could achieve this?
Thanks.
Hi
You’re using page builder with latest as page template, which means that the page will be built from two parts: the content and the latest article. On your homepage the latest article are pushed down because of the
widgetized sidebar from content http://screencast.com/t/i8eydBoZi If you want to have a sidebar in the latest article section it can be enabled from here: http://screencast.com/t/847Jiqho7a
Thanks!
