.iosSlider.td_block_big_grid .td-icon-left, .iosSlider.td_block_big_grid .td-icon-right, .iosSlider .prevButton, .iosSlider .nextButton {
display: none !important;
}

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Thanks @TheMediumUTM!


@CSTAwestminster

Sorry for the delay! Please make sure you have posts in the featured category as the first slider the one that is inserted into page by the “Homepage – bg + with article list” template it displays post from the featured category. If you want to display posts from other categories you can do it like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/big-slide-background-homepage-doesnt-show-any-post/#post-18910
Hope this helps!

* http://screencast.com/t/Ruod2gmNl
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads/

Of you don’t want that the ad to be shown on mobile make sure you add it for tablets and desktop and enable it to show on tables and desktop only from theme panel and leave it not top be displayed on mobile.
Hope this helps!

Hi,

I’m not sure what are you trying to achieve. You can have the featured image stretched to full screen width by setting the posts style 4 and making sure you don’t use any backgrounds to your site because in that case your site layout will become boxed and the full width image won’t work. You have to make sure you have an full-width layout, in that case you will have the post page when using style 4 looking like this: http://screencast.com/t/mugp3VZo
Make sure you remove the background image and color from theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/Vc8Zd1gzAbS
Also this feature image will be available only on post pages when using post style 4, if you want to use something like this on pages try this method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/full-width-image-header-on-hompage/
Regarding the slider/bigslider full width, you can try to have this via css but the sliders had not been designed to work like that and I don’t know how will respond, you can give it a try or hire a freelancer to do it for you if you don’t know how.
Hope this helps!

I am having problem with modules and length of the text. I want to create a homepage with module 9. But cannot edit length of the text. I tried from theme panel too. moreover please check you theme documentation I think it needs to be updated.

Medium, I agree with the images being small. I had planned on fixing those problems once I have the layout finished.

The top slider should, if I’ve read the documentation right, be holding the Big Slider. I’ve chosen the Homepage template in the Visual Composer list with the Homepage – bg + with article list. So that Big slider should be sitting in the location that it looks like you’re missing slides. Instead it seems to have pulled beneath it, leaving the box open above.

Good point about the weekend. I work so much I forget the days of the week. Thank you for your help though, I appreciate it.

Hello,

I am still running into the problem with the homepage appearance with the window is resized. I just added an 768×90 image as an Header Ad per your example in the help files. The problem that occurs is that the image disappears when the width of the browser window is reduced. I would really like to just fix the size of the page to eliminate this issues. Also, I do not anticipate the requirement for our website to be compatible with smart phones (if this has any impact on the problem).

Thanks!

Hi Lucian,

thanks for your reply! I will look into the image sizes and resizing as you suggested.

However, regarding the 1st question I would prefer to have the featured image (the Slider and/or the Big Slider) stretched over the whole site the same way as the parallax articles appearance. Having a background image instead does not look aligned when using style 4 “full width” for articles.

Is this feasible?

Hi,

1. You can use the "Homepage - bg" template with or without the article list and full layout like this: http://screencast.com/t/LXRL8Yqn and you will get this result: http://screencast.com/t/IvREH9NKGvD4

2. It’s possible, you cloud try to add your own image and then replace it within modules/sliders.. besides wordpress default cropping sizes http://screencast.com/t/ifk8fE1HYk and we added more sizes inside the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/2QaaubXnqxL you can also add your own there and then use it.
Those sizes are used on modules and sliders (including the Big Slider) , you can read here about the thumbs used on modules and sliders – https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
You also have to regenerate thumbs after you add a new image size.

About the cropping modes, you can create your own images sizes and use it like I said before, hare are some more info about this:
1. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
2. http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Hope this helps!

Hi there,

I have two questions:

1st – Is it possible to have Slides and Big Slides on the homepage in the same format as the borderless “parallax” style 4 within the articles?

http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/popular-people-who-everyone-seems-to-love/

I would love to see that borderless image on the homepage which would increase consistency also.

2nd question – Is it possible to use images in 16:9 aspect ratio as thumbnails natively without cropping?

Thank you!

Hi there,

I have installed a carousel slider by Themepunch (they also make Slider Revolution) on my homepage.

http://www.betasite05.co.uk/

I would like to remove the top padding so it looks better. I placed the following css in the Visual Composer CSS editor (just for that page), however it did not work.
Hope you can help!!

#page {
.td-grid-wrap {
padding: 0px 0 0; !important;
}

Hi,

Please install the demo data from theme panel > welcome http://screencast.com/t/NOYhjn6gnV the “Homepage 4” layout should come with the demo data then you will be able to edit the page and see how it’s built.

Or add a new page and add the following shortcodes in the page like this: http://screencast.com/t/GypkMSlFewI

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][td_slide_big category_id="207" limit="8" hide_title="hide_title"][/vc_column][/vc_row]

You will need to set the page template to “Homepage – with article list” like this: http://screencast.com/t/z0kdaXL3Zp
You also need enough posts for this to work.
The best way it’s to install the demo data then you will get this homepage.

Thanks

Hi Lucian!

Many thanks for replying me. I am a beginner user.

I’ve requested to tagDiv install the homepage4 for me. Could you achieve that?

So I’d be able to put some content and tweak the ads system.

Thanks – Nuno

Hi,

Yes, you can like this: http://screencast.com/t/Aqhi3JY2
You can get the categories filter/sort order/filter by tag slug... values from here: http://screencast.com/t/VcK9m8kg

Ok, I checked and I didn’t get that I need to put posts in the Featured Category.

It’s possible to make the slide with background work with all recent post, or posts I assign a tag to? That’d be perfect.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Regarding your first issue you can target the username using this .td_user_logd_in class and enlarge the container via css.
You could also try this solution: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/top-header-login-widget-problem/#post-15488

Regarding the VC buttons we have this issue on out todo list and still working on it and we will try to fix this in the next theme updates, until then you could try to use the these buttons http://screencast.com/t/wYiWVWSU3 or find a plugin that dose what you need.

Thanks for the message

Hi,

Thanks @Christopher!

@albuor
As Christopher wrote make sure you have set featured image for posts and that the posts are or you have posts into the featured category because those posts will show up into the slider.
I have also tested this and works fine:

Hi,

Yes, you can use the “Homepage – bg – no article list” page template for your Homepage http://screencast.com/t/VTFrs9KuFE And then you can hide the big slider using this css:

.page .td-big-slide-background .td_block_big_grid {
display: none;
}

Result: http://screencast.com/t/Zwocn3wz26aU

Thanks Lucian,

I think I’m on the right track now.

Hi,

The best way to use only fresh posts from a category would be to chose a specific category and then use the “latest” sort order feature from block editing, this way you will have all the time the latest post from that category shown into that block.
Another option if you want them random you could use the other 2 sort order type “Random posts today” – would be the best if you add posts daily or “Random posts from last 7 days” – if you add posts once 2 or 3 days for example http://screencast.com/t/LezYULX5i
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help! I also am still having issues with any of the button functions in the visual composer. Are there fixes available or should I upgrade the VC to resolve the problems.
