- TutorialsFrom WPBakery to tagDiv Composer
Hi
I’ve installed ‘Newspaper’ on an existing blog.
Trying to setup up a static homepage as per instructions (https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage/)- I’ve used ‘module 6’
My page is; http://www.byronbayblog.com.au/2894-2
None of the images from my old posts appear, and I tried a new post – and still no images appear on the page.
I’m guessing I’ve missed something simple – could someone point me in the right direction.
Cheers
Hi,
1. You can try this solution Radu’ solution: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/show-category-name-in-homepage/
Result: http://screencast.com/t/a0GqS8sFnbxp
2. Images from slider are reduced, so the height is auto and depends of the screen width. You can try to force the image height with css code like this: http://screencast.com/t/pJueoNra
.iosSlider-col-3, .iosSlider-col-3 .item {
height: 433px !important;
}
.iosSlider .entry-thumb {
height: 100%;
}
If you want to use the code please add it in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/La4VYroQrYJN
Thanks!
Hi, great themes!! Would like to know if somehow I can shows up the category name at homepage for my website for every single post. You can view it at http://www.buzzcapt.com .. I would like to enable it like the big slider title block. Is it possible to do that? Hope you can help me with it.
Thanks a mill!~
Hi guys!
Just wondering if you could point me in the right direction where I can make the slider full width right after the menu?
The “homepage post”-widget for visual composer does exactly what I want but I want my slider to do the same.
Makes sense?
Hi,
If you use Homepage with articles you can create a custom sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/52yLvSn8I add widgets to it: http://screencast.com/t/tUjeCu0Z4
And use Widgetised Sidebar block to display it: http://screencast.com/t/pmxFUUAfLE

So, I’m setting up my homepage on Visual Editor and I put up some Social Icons. Everything works fine, except the Facebook icon. The code looks fine, but when I publish the page, it adds my web adress before it. So my facebook page, which is facebook.com/fazendonerdice, is on the published site as
http://www.fazendonerdice.com/facebook.com/fazendonerdice
Does anyone know what happened?
EDIT: Duh, figured it out: i didn’t put the http:// before the address, that was the problem.
Hello,
I wanted to hide a column on my homepage when it’s seen in mobile devices, but nothing happened when I clicked “Column Settings” > “Width & Responsiveness” and selected the boxes to hide the content.
My site is http://cuerpoalma.com and the column I need to hide on smartphones is the one about the author (1/3 width).
Thanks for the help!

Hi Alin,
and thank you for the reply.
I have not uploaded any background-image (Theme panel -> BACKGROUND). And I’m not able to find a place to explicitly turn off background-image for the entire site, I thought it was turned off if no background image was uploaded to the Theme panel.
For the page itselves, I am using the “Homepage – bg – no article list” setting (have tried others too, but as I said with the same result). When I install the Theme locally (xampp) with the demo-content, I see the page “td_d_slug_4” has achieved the result I want – and it uses the “Homepage – bg + with article list” (using this on my site does not work either).
I must be missing some information here 🙂 Hope you are able to help me further
Regards
Hi,
Big slide background will be full width only if you don’t use theme/site background: http://screencast.com/t/mJQo636h5H
If you use site background it will look like in our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/homepage-with-background/
Thanks!
Hi,
I have inserted a lot of ads to my site. In the sidebar, the footer, and in some content.
On the homepage the layout and ads work fine (See Here). But on any single post the footer layout is messed up, and you can scroll way past the footer. See here: http://gopthedailydose.com/2015/02/18/video-see-major-military-lt-col-denmark-shooter-screamed-allahu-akbar-not-jobs-jobs-jobs/
So if the ads work on the homepage there isn’t anything wrong with my ad code. So what could be causing this?
I appreciate your help. Thanks!
Hi,
I´m trying to set the theme. What i want is something similar to the default demo homepage, but with some changes. I need to know if it´s possible to make what i need.
I´ve been trying to do it with block 2 and block 3, but when i select a category and set 2 posts, the blocks set the posts horizontally, not vertically. Also I don´t see an offset option.
I need help please.
Hi, I am having trouble getting the background-image of the homepage big slide to span 100% width of the page.
It only spans about 40-50 pixels to each side of the slide. I used the “Homepage – bg – no article list” to create the page. I have also experimented with other page-styles, but have not been able to make the background span out.
Do you have any tips or solutions for this?
Regards
I was finally able to pinpoint the issue, and it’s not just me! Just try loading the Homepage with background on Newspaper Tech (Boxed), on a mobile device. You’ll see what I mean. The big slider is only half-visible, while the other half just cuts out of the viewpoint:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/homepage-with-background/
If you load the above link on a mobile phone, you’ll find that half of the bigslider is cut out of the screen, ’cause the image dimensions are unproportional.
Please, let me know if you find a solution.
Thanks.
Hi,
I installed a plugin called Sportspress, and it added some custom post types to my WordPress. It seems like when I am on the posts/archives of those new custom post types the mega menu in my navigation does not drop-down. The regular “drop-downs” in the menu work, but not the mega menus.
Here on the homepage (http://dawg.christianinternethosting.com/) if you hover over the “football” menu item you can see the mega menu.
But here on one of the new custom post types (http://dawg.christianinternethosting.com/player/mason-ewing/) if you hover over the “football” menu item nothing drops down.
Why is it that the mega menu doesn’t work on the new custom post types?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please take a look at this block settings: http://screencast.com/t/usnHKnLVB you have to change pagination to “Infinite load”: http://screencast.com/t/QM2rDhHLcqzL
Also maybe this can help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage/
If you still have this issue, please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer plugin active, clear cache and try again.
Please provide more details about slider issue. I have checked your site and you use a Big Slide: http://screencast.com/t/2Ihdulq3
Thanks!

Problem: Ad Box or Block 10
Located: Homepage, above “NEWS” section
Details: The Ad box, appears over Block 10 element [VIEWERS’ PICKS; LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY; TRENDING VIDEO; MOST READ ON CSG]
Request: How to resolve this issue [we want to have 15/20px distance above and below the ad ]
Request 2: Is there any possibility to show the Block 10 elements [VIEWERS’ PICKS; LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY; TRENDING VIDEO; MOST READ ON CSG] only on desktops and hidden on tablets/mobiles?
Hi,
1. Please add this css in Theme Panel > Custom Css and use a solid color for background: http://screencast.com/t/hnBnXvtWOr
.td-sbig-title-wrap .td-sbig-title {
background-color: #4db2ec;
}
.td-big-grid-title .td-sbig-title-wrap {
background-color: #4db2ec;
}2. Please use this custom css, it will apply to all links: http://screencast.com/t/QbAU9FOfHU
a:hover{
text-decoration: none !important;
color: red !important;
}3. You will need custom modification for this, unfortunately we cannot offer custom work because we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
I gave you a solution for this above. Use a page template without articles list: http://screencast.com/t/hq6MZc8jB and instead use a block for Latest Articles. It will look something like this page from newsmag demo(Scroll to Latest Articles): http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/homepage-infinite-scroll/
Please follow block’s settings(this block settings are exactly to show Latest Articles like above page):
http://screencast.com/t/geiG1TUvEFux
http://screencast.com/t/Wl8nOauLcQf
Use Infinite Load and show Load More button after x pages: http://screencast.com/t/asRKs5uZ
Also you can translate Load More from Theme Panel > Translations: http://screencast.com/t/VLp9RxDcBN
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I have a few more issues structuring the theme. Some features don’t seem to be working as they should.
1. Offset and unique articles do not work.
– 1a: Offset used on Block 2 (below the Grid), and set to 5 (to avoid showing Featured posts again), yet same articles in POPULAR block below the Grid still appear.
http://content.screencast.com/users/Truefolder/folders/Default/media/440d6432-f978-4e0e-ac15-e29f0f04d04e/offset-not-working-1.JPG
– 1b: Tried using “Unique Articles” feature, then it screws up the whole pattern, and latest articles aren’t the latest anymore, neither in Grid nor in the list of posts below. Just a collection of random posts instead.
Note: All categories are set appropriately to Latest, All categories, etc. I triple-checked everything. Also, “Popular” is not actually set to display Popular articles (if such feature even exists); it’s the “DON’T MISS” block, renamed.
2. In the backend when editing, when I select some Visual Composer and Theme specific features (such as “Show unique articles” option), it disappears once the page is updated, even if it’s selected. Basically, you need to select for those features to appear every single time you edit a page.
3. How do I enable to show Categories for all posts on the homepage? Currently, no setting is set to “Disabled,” so everything should be enabled, right? And the categories must appear on posts? Yet they don’t.
http://content.screencast.com/users/Truefolder/folders/Default/media/d1a67e2d-b9fd-45b2-bae5-a8b1a46fbd4a/category-1.JPG http://content.screencast.com/users/Truefolder/folders/Default/media/7fff5a87-4892-46f3-9250-44226a5e17bf/categories-2.JPG
Thanks!
Testing site: http://topdogtips.com/ (currently Unique Articles is disabled; Offset on Block 2 is still set to 5)
CDN, Caching, etc. disabled while testing.
Please advise.
Thank you.

The different headers are working great! The only other thing is I want to suppress the ad totally on the front page. I don’t want it showing up below the header on the front page in Style 7, but want the ads on all others pages in style 1.
I was doing this when using Style 7 by using the disable buttons in the theme panel, but it now disables them for Style 1 also. Is there a line of code I can add to just suppress ads on homepage header?
thanks!
Homepage is showing full size featured images after analysing on GTmetrix. I am currently regenerating thumbnails. I have tried most of the instructions and added additional codes for my .htaccess file. I have not edited functions.php though.
Thanks.
Hi,
Please edit this file and add if-else statements: http://screencast.com/t/5amz5U7QRtY
if (is_front_page()){
locate_template('parts/header/header-style-7.php', true);
} else {
locate_template('parts/header/header-style-1.php', true);
}
You have to use Header Style 1(default): http://screencast.com/t/I8TGdtJnBi

Hi,
Sorry for the delay!
Unfortunately as you’ve noticed by now the only customization option you have for the big slider when using the homepage with background template are for background color/img and slide limit: http://screencast.com/t/oJtUy4erGoM
The posts which appear on that slider are the ones present in the featured category. You can further customize it hard coded from here at the moment: http://screencast.com/t/scMYLCXt
@drewmerl You can also do it via custom css, please provide your site’s url so we can inspect this and provide a solution.
Thanks
Hi…
Sorry i did not explained my points.
1. I would like to make the background color of the text on slider non-transparent (http://imgur.com/1TI6xSm) currently it’s transparent blue.
2. The solution you provide me for the Link hover underline
.td_mod_wrap .entry-title a:hover{
text-decoration: none !important;
color:red;
}
Only changes the homepage title… the rest of the title such as slider and side bar are still having the underline when we take mouse pointer there…. I would like to change the underline to color hover on all of it.
3. Adding Loading More Stories Text http://imgur.com/hljefwa I would like to make something like this on infinite scroll so once the user reaches the footer it shows this text before infinite scroll load others posts.
Thanks!…
