First problem: Why are you trying to write to files inside the Plugin folder? wp-content/uploads is usually web-writeable on WordPress, whereas folders in themes and plugins should NOT be web writeable, for security reasons. When I unlock our site, the error message goes away.
As a WordPress developer (plugin, theme and core WP) absolutely dialed in on securing and hardening WordPress, I am dismayed that you want to create these files inside the plugin folder.

Second, we run tagDiv Composer on a *very* large MultiSite network (24 sites, 50+ gigs of content in wp-content/uploads). When we unlock the site (see first issue), tagDiv Editor just sits there and hour-glasses all day long. We have no issues with this on single standalone sites. Health Check is below the image…

Hell, I am using NewsPaper theme with manual / custom ads. Can you please get me the recommeded sizes of ad images when placed manually ?
Hey Guys,
I am using a plugin called WordPress Robot which imports Youtube and Vimeo videos into the template with a thumbnail. The Plugin is great.
What I have noticed in the WordPress content folder is that it generates at least 10 different images for each video thumbnail imported. Please see attached image.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-Fo1PPTINsCsdsquQ1BK0vpHFc-Xr1nu
When its coming to backup I am backing up 10x more than what I need to. Is it possible to avoid all of the different images sizes and just stick to what I need?
Thanks
Liam
Hello !
This issue is coming from wordpress. Please take a look at this guide in order to fix this issue: https://mythemeshop.com/blog/how-to-prevent-wordpress-from-generating-image-sizes/
Thank you !
Hi – There is an alignment error for an ad that appears in the page header of my Web site piracymonitor.org
See screenshot – https://ibb.co/K0BCDK7
My header logo graphic images have the default sizes of 272×90 and 544×180. The ad graphic image has the default image size of 728×90.
When the iPad is in ‘portrait’ (vertical) view, the header graphics re-size but the header itself is taller than it should be, and the ad is forced downward so it is not in alignment with my site’s header logo.
Do I have something wrong? Or is there a work-around? Or is this an error with the Newsmag template?
Thank you
Best regards,
– Steve
Hi Vlad,
Is there a way to do this globally without breaking the templates. Last time we tried this it lost all sidebars when we did it globally from theme panel. If I do it one at a time then it works like this: https://searchgo.co/holiday-travel-china/
I’m concerned about changing the template due to sizes we already created for these images.
Thanks
Hi,
The default blocks and grids are predefined, meaning that their layout cannot be changed.
However flex blocks and grids have such options, for example flex block 1 has the 16:9 format in the pre-made style presetss – http://prntscr.com/ofmsdj
But you can also use the image settings to set custom sizes if needed
– http://prntscr.com/ofmsu0
So flex blocks and grids have many more design and layout options than the predefined ones. You could experiment with them.
Also check the designs created by us here – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
These can be imported with the cloud library plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hey Guys,
I am creating a video aggragtion site that pulls in YouTube videos. I am using a plugin called WordPress Video robot. It pulls in the videos and created a series of thumbnails.
However the standard box sizes of ‘Big Grid 1’ and ‘Block 15’ do not have the 16:9 aspect ratio of the imported videos so the thumbnail is clipped. Please see attached image.
My question is, is it possible to adjust the size of the content block to match the 16:9 ratio?
If not is there an alternative I can explore which would say resize the thumbnail.
I have read some threads from the past but cannot seem to narrow down an answer.
Thanks for your time.
Liam
Hi,
Please try not to reply multiple times in the topic if possible, this will only delay our response. Replying multiple times will refresh the topic date and move it to the back of the line, we answer from oldest to newest. Also please note the allocated support hours mentioned in the top banner. Also, our customer support schedule can be seen here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/hErk6DjN9
1)If you want to create a custom Ad using the 4 images, I will suggest you create a banner composed of those 4 images. Another alternative would be to use the Ad Rotate plugin for that.
2)Please note that on our demo we use multiple sizes, most have around 1068 × 713 px. For more details about this, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
3)Try to use the Big Grid slider functionality, like this -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/ Also, you can try using the Revolution Slider to do that. Please note that plugin is more powerful, according to the official documentation from here -> https://www.themepunch.com/support-center/
4)Please note that you can insert your shortcode inside the Column Text element.
Thank you!
Hi,
So you would like an image before each category in a mega-menu with sub-categories
– http://prntscr.com/odgc2m
By default this is not possible, currently there isn’t any option to allow this. The website you mention uses a single image that contains all the logos as background, then positions the background so that the icon matches the team
– https://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/nba/sprites/teams-nba-25.png
Maybe it could be done with some CSS, something like this – http://prntscr.com/odgepc if you should consider it I will try to help you with it.
The thumbnail sizes will be the same in both the mega-menu types. For the “Rejser” menu item simply create a mega-menu without sub-categories. It will look exactly as the in the theme demo.
Let me know.
Thanks
The website I’m working on is experiencing image loading issues. Specifically, Chrome is revealing that the GET on certain images fails to return the designated file. We’ve tried compressing the image sizes. We’ve also tried setting the cache value to “normal” to reduce load time for repeated visits.
Is there anything else you might recommend we try to improve performance?
Please see images:
https://cdn.starnewsgroup.com/make-inline.png
https://cdn.starnewsgroup.com/row-padding.png
The row padding was already set to 0, and the menu was set to inline but the height of the menu cannot be adjusted. I even tried creating a custom class for the menu in the TD composer and then adding CSS to set the height, but that did not work either.
Also:
1. I can’t set my submenus to use “background” as the hover style, I only have Default and Underline. Not sure why background appears for the main menu but not for the submenus.
2. The logo and header ad elements I have in the Header Builder appear to be positioned correctly, but when I preview them the header ad (728×90) shrinks way down and the logo moves far to the left.
3. I have the live search in the main header menu below the logo, but I had to create a 3/4 + 1/4 column and put the menu in the 3/4 and the live search in the 1/4, and now there is way too much space between where the menu ends and the search starts. Not sure how I can close that up. You can’t seem to click and drag to adjust sizes or spacing in the builder.
I have created three images to show what I am describing above. One is the view of the new header in the header builder, one is the way it previews, and the third is the header I have on our live site, which is using Newspaper 8.8.2. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

OK, I have made some progress with creating a header but still have some issues, basically I am trying to recreate what we have in Newspaper 8.8.2 using Newspaper 9.7.3 and the Header Builder. My issues are:
1. I can’t set my submenus to use “background” as the hover style, I only have Default and Underline. Not sure why background appears for the main menu but not for the submenus.
2. I cannot see a way to set the height of a menu. My top menu is twice as high vertically as it needs to be but I see no way to adjust that. I even tried creating a custom class for the menu in the TD composer and then adding CSS to set the height but that did not work either.
3. The logo and header ad elements I have in the Header Builder appear to be positioned correctly, but when I preview them the header ad (728×90) shrinks way down and the logo moves far to the left.
4. I have the live search in the header menu, but I had to create a 3/4 + 1/4 column and put the menu in the 3/4 and the live search in the 1/4, but now there is way too much space between where the menu ends and the search starts. Not sure how I can close that up. You can’t seem to click and drag to adjust sizes or spacing in the builder.
I have created three images to show what I am describing above. One is the view of the new header in the header builder, one is the wya it previews, and the third is the header I have on our live site, which is using Newspaper 8.8.2. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Hi,
Depends on the blocks/modules used. They display different thumb sizes
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
The theme will crop and create multiple thumbnails from the images you set as featured
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
Maybe try and use different types of blocks, choose the ones that display the thumbnails which are best suited for your images.
In the composer there are also flex blocks and grids, which have options for the images
– http://prntscr.com/nzuite – http://prntscr.com/nzuj2e
If you have more questions let me know.
Thanks
Hello !
Please take a look at this informations about why this happens and how to fix it: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-prevent-wordpress-from-generating-image-sizes/
Thank you !
Hello !
You will have to regenerate your thumbnails. Regenerate Thumbnails allows you to regenerate all thumbnail sizes for one or more images that have been uploaded to your Media Library.
You could simply do this by using a plugin. After you’ve regenerated them de-activate the plugin so you won’t face any issues.
Thank you !
But the theme crops the image this way because it’s coded to do so, correct?
So if I had custom development done on the theme to remove or change that code, this could be a solution as well, correct?
Everytime I try using a cloud template for anything the CSS always comes in broken.
Also, how do I get rid of latest articles like at the bottom of my homepage http://www.vettoc.com so that I can use a different module to load better thumbnail sizes?
Keep in mind, I’m using the Bakery page/post editor not themediv editor. Is this an issue?
Hi,
So you are setting a featured image for the post, then each time you update the post the same image appears again in the media library?
That would be unusual, the theme will use the image set as featured from the media library to create thumbnails. A total of 19 sizes will be created if they are all enabled – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
But it won’t duplicate the original image. Does that happen if you deactivate all non-theme plugins as a quick test?
If you want us to investigate this, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login. Mention some example of this happening, or how we can recreate the issue to see it. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
I also just stumbled on something else. The WP AMP plugin offers lightbox and carousel options for pages.
So if you enable AMP, you can actually force lightbox effects on images, along with dynamic sizes.
This can be marked as solved. For anyone else with the same issue:
– Install WP Embed Facebook plugin. It will fix any legacy posts when you enable the mobile theme.
– Install and activate the AMP plugin, where you can select lightbox options inside the post.
I’m now running the mobile theme AND AMP without issue.
Hi,
It says “it may result in broken images”, I personally haven’t seen cases where this happened however, or seen negative feedback after recommending it. However you could just to be safe make a backup of the uploads folder, and only then regenerate. If you find other methods or other plugins you can give those a try instead. We don’t have specific guides in this matter.
If you have 11 sizes activated in the theme panel, then the theme will create 11 thumbnails. WordPress will create an additional 3 sizes – http://prntscr.com/nlyiz3 Plugins can create thumbnails as well.
Thanks
I’ve got many thumbnail photos on my home page, and they all are served at resolutions/sizes way too big for their display size. This results in very long page load times.
Take a look at my home page on a computer: http://www.foodtradenews.com. You will see that the thumbnail images load at huge sizes (under the “latest news” section, for example).
How can I have photos throughout the site served at appropriate sizes?
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
Maybe I’m getting something wrong.
I’ve installed the plugin you suggested to remove unused thumbnails from my server. It says: “Delete thumbnail files for old unregistered sizes in order to free up server space. This may result in broken images in your posts and pages.”
So, once I run that, it will result in broken images. What’s the sense in that?
Then, It says that my thumbnails are 17 different sizes. I only have 11 activated in my Newspaper Theme panel. So, once again, what’s the sense in regenerating all of them?
My question still remains. I need to remove all the thumbnails that the template is not using. So, how can I do that? Please, I need some help, I really need to reduce the 400,000 inodes that I have in the server urgently.
Thanks
The popular post sorting requires this option to be active in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/7-days-post-sorting/
Once you activate that setting the theme will start counting the views posts get. For this to happen the post views have to be active – http://prntscr.com/nli2rx
Posts should begin to appear in the block after doing this.
Flex grids can use a few thumbnail sizes to choose from http://prntscr.com/nli4ue
Also alignment slider – http://prntscr.com/nli53d so you can display the top, middle or bottom of the image.
There should be enough setting to achieve the result you want.
Depends, in a page a sidebar can be created by for example splitting a row like this
– http://prntscr.com/nli67u
In that column you can either add elements directly from the composer, or use a widget sidebar and select from your existing widget sidebars
– https://www.screencast.com/t/S6PZx2IvYW
Let me know if you need help or you have more questions.
Hi,
That would be correct, the theme will create thumbnails (the sizes which are enabled) from each image that is uploaded in the media library – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
These will be displayed in various locations and elements, when needed.
1. Changing the post template won’t remove the thumbnails that were created or which will be created. But regardless of this, the post template of a post can be changed only by editing each post, this would take a lot of time however if there are many posts.
These topics may be of use if you would like to attempt this in the database
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/apply-a-single-post-template-globally/
Make a backup of the database before, or try it at first in a local or sub-domain copy/clone of the website.
2. Depends on the post template you want to use, these would be the sizes predefined post templates use – http://prntscr.com/njvdgj
The thumbnails will be created regardless of planning to use them or not, in case they are needed. There are plugins that can be used to remove unused thumbnails
– https://www.webnots.com/how-to-cleanup-thumbnails-in-wordpress/
This plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ should be able to do that. It has an option to remove unused thumbnails, this should reduce the size considerably.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
I just updated to V9.7.2. This messed up the images on my site. Thumbnails are missing and image sizes are completely blown out of proportion. This happened before and I was able to fix it by switching off the tag div composer (we have been using wp bakery page builder for ever and it seemed like both of them together did not work.)
So if I have to have tag div composer activated, I do not know how to fix this problem. This is rather urgent as the site looks horrible as it is now.
Thank you very much,
kind regards,
Mira
