Hello themeforest58,
Please notice that the AMP plugin does not have this type of functionality implemented and we do not know if it will be or not implemented in the feature, sorry! Please understand that the main functionality of AMP plugin is to display the posts very quickly on the Google’s eye. Basically, when a client in on AMP version, he is not on your website and the main goal is to redirect it to your own website. The AMP will have to be viewed as a preview to the posts pages of your website which are delivered by the Google AMP Cache. This is a proxy-based content delivery network for delivering all valid AMP documents. It fetches AMP HTML pages, caches them, and improves page performance automatically. For more information about this case and to better understand the operating system for this plug-in, please check the following useful manual from here -> https://www.searchenginejournal.com/difference-accelerated-mobile-pages-amp-mobile-friendly-pages/172967/
As a very good example, please check the official page of Seo Yoast and there you will see that they have not implemented the menu bar on AMP pages, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/OfzMGTLPQk
Thanks for your understanding!
hello,
I love working with newspaper theme but I have some affiliate ads in the sidebar which I can’t see in mobile. what should I do? please help.
We have a food blog that we converted over to Newspaper and all of our feature images are in a portrait orientation. We are able to find blocks that worked with this on the home page. But how can we get the images in the mega menu to work better with this as well as on the mobile theme? It seams that its all set up for a landscape photo and its cropping all of our images terribly.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Please check the theme changelog, the theme now supports PHP 7.2
– https://www.screencast.com/t/cKqxeL9Y
2. You can have both the mobile theme plugin and AMP plugin activated, there will be no problem.
Those kind of ads are not tested with the theme. Standard Adsense ads will work properly. In the future support for such ads may be implemented. If you want to use ads like that you could try a plugin to insert the ads, like the one you mention.
We try our best to provide new options and featured with each update. A time will come to make improvements to the ad capabilities of the theme as well.
Thanks
hi after the updated had to reinstall td composer as we had the blank page and a few other problems. After reinstall most of the problems were fixed.
The site load take longer tried in several browsers and on mobile its the same please help http://www.zimlink.org.
Love the theme this update seems a bit ruff though. had no problems with 8.6
Hello matijakurusic,
Please keep in mind that both options are important and here is talking about two different functionalities! Notice that is no question of choosing between them because you can use them simultaneously. The note is that the user, at the first time will see the AMP page, in Google Search (like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/YM1PffHt) and then, he will be redirected to your website which will work in the mobile theme. The AMP will have to be viewed as a preview to the posts pages of your website which are delivered by the Google AMP Cache. This is a proxy-based content delivery network for delivering all valid AMP documents. It fetches AMP HTML pages, caches them, and improves page performance automatically. For more information about this case and to better understand the operating system for this plug-in, please check the following useful manual from here -> https://www.searchenginejournal.com/difference-accelerated-mobile-pages-amp-mobile-friendly-pages/172967/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Indeed, it seems the mobile menu is not working at all, neither is the mobile search. There are some errors in the page – https://www.screencast.com/t/GGXuax2iB
The first step would be to deactivate all plugins as a quick test, leave only theme plugins active. Next go to your cache settings and clear the cache. Then check if then issue is solved. This would help determine if a plugin is conflicting with the theme.
Thanks
Hi,
The background of the modal window can be changed in the theme panel. If the mobile theme plugin is not enabled these are the settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/gItsB41rW5O
– https://www.screencast.com/t/GfnB59WTLuU
If the mobile plugin is active, there is a special section for it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KDktHZFA
More information about the mobile theme plugin here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Facebook or social login is not available in the theme. That could only be done by modifications to the theme files or through a plugin. Similar topic here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/where-i-can-add-a-line-of-custom-php-code-on-the-login-page/
This could be available by default in the theme, after a future update. I cannot say for sure however.
Thanks
Hello themeforest58,
Unfortunately, please notice that’s the default functionality for AMP, without the menu, sorry! The AMP plugin works only for default pages which are not created with any page builder. Regarding on social sharing, these have the default size for mobile devices.
Thanks for your understanding!
2. The newsletter does not have a pop-up option, at this moment. Maybe it will be available in the future. It can only be placed on pages with the tagDiv composer.
1. From what I see there is a logo displayed both in header and footer AMP pages
– https://www.screencast.com/t/xd3ab9MiqRp
– https://www.screencast.com/t/38hj590ovo
The header logo is the one set for mobile in the theme panel, the footer logo will remain the same.
Hi, I know that google likes AMP, but the whole point of the tagdiv mobile theme seems the same for me, and easier.
The only downside to the mobile theme is the layout, I can’t change it.
What is better to use in your opinion?
What is the plan with td mobile theme? Future plan?
An Important question is about the “/amp/” part. What happens if my website’s post is linked on another website like this:
http://www.mysite.com/mypost
…and then I add AMP…, which changes the original link to http://www.mysite.com/mypost/amp/
What is going to happen when someone clicks on the link from another website using his phone?
Thank you
Mobile Theme & AMP plugins
1. Is tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin compatible with “PHP 7.2”?
2. Is tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin compatible with “tagDiv AMP plugin”?
Theme Ads System Not Working Properly
1. Theme’s Article inline ad “auto [size]” does not work with Adsense’s “auto in-articles ad code”. I put Adsense “auto in-article ad code” in theme’s “Article inline ad code area” and set size as “auto”. But, theme resizes the ad, resulting in very small and ugly design, the front end result is very different when I put the same ad code in WP-Insert plugin. I wish the upcoming update fixes this.
2. Theme’s Article bottom ad “auto [size]” does not work with Adsense’s “matched contents ad code”. I placed the ad code and set size as “auto”, but it never shows up. I tried all sizes supported by theme, none of them works with matched contents ad code. I wish the upcoming update handles this. I even wish I could put two adsense codes (auto in-article ad and matched contents ad) together in Theme’s Article bottom ad, which is supported by plugins.
Because of these, I do not use Theme’s Article Ads, I leave it unused. Instead, I use Wp-Insert plugin. I wish I can use less plugins by using Theme’s Article ads one day.
By the way, I love tagDiv’s Newspapers theme. It has so many features that other themes don’t. Its not that I complain about this theme, this fantastic theme makes me greedier and I dont want to leave any of the features unused.
Just for the feedback, AMP Plugin is great and seems fastest, but there are some major bugs such as:
1. Menu from amp pages is missing.
2. Social sharing icons are too small.
3. No idea how amp ads work. Do we have to fill in our custom adsense made ads in the theme panel>amp>custom ad? Or the google adsense fills out these spots themselves?
4. How can we remove featured image from amp pages?
5. The search button is broke, it redirects to mobile page with some “-” search result.
6. Dropcaps are not working perfect, the letters are inside a colored box.
Apart from that, the post-editor is missing the text-editor, i mean where is the place where i used to add dropcaps and quoteboxes??
And to the ones who have been complaining about amp not on home page, well amp is meant for posts that appear on google, the rich articles we write. There is definitely no need of amp on homepage, unless you want a really stripped off version of your homepage to be shown to your visitors.(speed is always not best at some places)
Hi,
You have introduced the AMP feature in the theme but the amp will work when we write /amp how to automatically enable when user visit from mobile.
With another key counter value, the pageview counter on the mobile theme doesn’t work properly. The only thing that fixed this is renaming the key meta in the wp_postmeta table:
update wp_postmeta
set meta_key = 'post_views_count'
where meta_key = 'old_key_name'
Then everthing works fine as aspected! A simple solution to import the pageviews into the newspaper theme.
Hi Simion,
Thanks you for help.
I fixed it to deactivate tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin. Now working fine.
Hi,
@carlosb Please provide some examples of the issue. If the mobile theme plugin is deactivated the same content from desktop will be displayed on mobile. Unless you manually place conditions for the elements on different devices

Thanks
Hi,
There is a simple solution for that. Enter the custom code in Theme panel->Advanced CSS for the sections (screen widths) you want it to apply.
If you want that code to work only on desktop and not affect mobiles, enter in in the desktop section

Thanks
Hello snowpoloi,
Notice that our Mobile Theme has been created to be more efficient for mobile devices. So, if you want to change the mobile front page configuration you should make yourself some configuration through the code. Notice that task involve doing such a custom work and we cannot provide something like this, sorry! As a hint, notice that you should edit the code from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/IO9PjLg6FK if you want to affect this section of our mobile theme.
Also, if you are not satisfied with our theme, you can request a refund here: https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new and we will provide the money back.
Thanks.
By default the category tag is not displayed on that module, when viewing from mobile. Also I forgot to mention, that code should be entered in Theme panel->Advanced CSS in the desktop section and tablets. On smaller devices it may not work properly.
In order to position the tag like that I used a fixed value, because it is dependent on the module thumb. The thumbnail will not remain the same size for all devices. A solution that would work on all devices would be to position the tag in the left top corner

– https://www.screencast.com/t/9PR3ESbD
Insert it in Theme panel->Mobile theme->Custom CSS code and it will apply to all the paragraphs in the post content, on mobile.
Hello,
I would like to change the section top grid on Mobile Theme in order to display 5 posts from a certain category (ex. top-news) and NOT the featured or popular or popular7 etc.
I am expecting your answer the soonest possible, since I have bought your template for a customer and the deliverable is in 1 day!!
If you cannot find a solution, I would like a refund.
Thanks in advance.
I want to set up the mobile theme, but I can’t find it… I don’t see the path described in the documentation from the download file I have (which came from ThemeForest). I did find a plugins folder but it only contains td-composer, td-multi-purpose, and td-social-counter. Am I missing something? Thanks.
I have the Newspaper 8.5 theme running on my site and would like to tweak its visual appearance on web and mobile. I would like to hire a designer who is experienced in Newspaper 8.5 to help with layout specific to my audience. Where would I find a designer with this experience and how much might this cost?
Needs: Mailchimp form in footer on mobile, fix category menu, possibly design static homepage.
