Hello, I had a problem with quality of images in module 10 viewed from mobile, as they’re pixeled as the default size used is around 150px and they appear to full screen on mobile if you use them to show the latest post on your blog page.
This is my solution. It’ll load a bigger image, but sizes are not that much great to have a bad impact on website performances.
1. Create a new image size for thumbnails (e.g. I’ve used 640×350)
2. Modify Newsmag->includes->modules->td_module_10 in this way:
<div class="<?php echo $this->get_module_classes();?>" <?php echo $this->get_item_scope();?>>
<?php echo $this->get_image('td_640x350');?>
<div class="item-details">
3. add this code to the child theme CSS:
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb img {
max-width: none;
height: 135px;
width: 246px;
margin-left: -33px;
}
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb {
width: 180px;
height: 135px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb .td-video-play-ico img {
max-width: 40px;
max-height: 40px;
}
.td_module_10 .td-module-thumb .td-video-play-ico {
left:103px;
}
}
Hoping you do NOT change the grid system for Newsmag, as we prefer the current layout which supports sidebars on mobile, more narrow layout, and overall “weight” of the design. For Newspaper features – one should obviously use the Newspaper theme 😉
I don’t use CDN.
Ok so I deactivate all except tagDiv Speed Booster & VC.
After 404 on the post pages, now it is ok for photos on computer and mobile.
I reactivate first WP Retina 2X and photos stop showing on mobile! 🙁
So I reactivate all the other.
Another test in webpagetest.com and it still say that the file your show that is missing.
http://www.virtualmagie.org/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/js_files/td_smooth_scroll.js?ver=6.2
I didn’t touch anything about the theme files!
And I just check your files: in that update there is no more the js_files folder.
So how it is possible my site try to reach it (I find nothing in the htaccess)?
How I could correct that?
Regards
Hi,
Please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/yH6suuYNoPqA as there is no option in Theme Color to change this.
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-header-wrap .td-header-menu-wrap-full, .td-header-wrap .td-header-menu-wrap, .td-header-wrap .td-header-main-menu {
background-color: #fff!important;
}
#td-top-mobile-toggle i {
color: #222 !important;
}
.header-search-wrap #td-header-search-button .td-icon-search {
color: #222!important;
}
}
Thanks!
My header ad is still showing on mobile – above any content – even though that view is disabled in the theme panel.
I also have the top article and inline content ads disables on desktop, but they are still showing as well.
Hi.
After i updated the theme to 6.0, the background color on the header on mobile devices is black. How can i change it? I have the site http://www.macweb.dk, it would be great if i could change it to white, and then the icons to another color? Since my logo has a white background.
Looking forward to hear from you :-).
Question 1:
With the version 4 the recommended upload size for the featured images was 1074x483px. The new documentation however mentions nothing about any ideal size for the featured images (more than, as big as possible).
What is the recomended image dimensions for the featured images? As of right now I´m still going with 1074×483. I´m using the Style 3 Post template.
Question 2:
When using the Style 3 for my posts, when viewed in mobile-view or withing a small browser window, the featured picture shrink as it is supposed to but also gets a rather ugly looking gray bar. Why does this happen?
I still haven´t updated from 6.1 beacuse of the issues that was with the article-namning and the brought up stability issues of 6.2. Perhaps this is fixed in the next update of the theme?
See this picture for reference:

Hi,
I have three questions. Maybe somebody can help me.
1.) Head ad: I am using the amazon banner and disabled the mobile view. Unfortunately the ad is still displayed on mobile devices (smartphones).
2.) Unique articles: I am using the theme on my review site. I want to have unique articles accept for the top 3, 5, 10 area in a widget or sidebar. Because sometimes the best rated product is also the newest and I want it to appear also in the top list. Is it possible to activate unique articles on a page and only disable it for one specific widget or sidebar on the same page?
3.) I am using the call 2 action modul of visual composer. I can add links here and set them to target=”_blank” but there is no nofollow checkbox. Where can I set all external links in the VC Modul to nofollow?
My site ist: http://www.brettspiele-magazin.de
thanks in advance,
julingn
Hi,
I see that you have tested on a mobile emulator, please check this on a mobile device, it should not be any issues as theme theme was tested many times on android or windows phones. Also I guess that you refer to Opera Mini browser, unfortunately this browser is not supported by the theme.
Thanks!
Hi,
If you want to use a fixed width ad on desktop/tablets/mobile you can try this custom css in Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/VYIfXbc0GBHi
.td-header-sp-recs {
width: 300px !important;
float: right!important;
}
Thanks!

I’m in the process of setting up the Newspaper 6 theme for our existing WordPress site and have a few questions / feature requests. But first a big thanks for creating such a cool and comprehensive theme!
1. Is it possible to change the thumbnail sizes so it reflects our existing image ratio? Our existing featured images are 480×280 so it would be great if I could set certain thumbnails to use a 48:28 ratio and the images don’t get cropped.
2. Instead of the Ajax Filter I would like to place a custom text or hyperlink right of the block title. Per example the title of the module is Daily News and I would like to add a text / link to the right: Powered by Nike. I noticed most people in the Newspaper showcase topic don’t use the ajax filter so this could be interesting for a lot of users.
3. Is it possible to auto embed a banner in the middle of the post text? So not above or below the article but in the middle without manual insertion.
4. In the author box the authors URL is displayed with http:// in front of the url. Can this http:// be removed as it looks odd. Per example: http://Google.com should just be Google.com
5. Is it possible to rename the Trending Now box to Breaking News?
6. Is it possible to remove the more from author tab on single posts?
7. In post style 3 and post style 4 on single posts is it possible to remove the hyperlink under the featured image? It is already shown large no need to link to a large version.
8. On category pages we used the category description and category image before. Is it possible to show them at the top of the category page?
9. Is it possible to show the featured articles in that category + sub categories at the top of the category page?
10. We already used a category for features, is it possible to change the source category for featured articles from featured to features?
11. Is it possible to set a new default image for all authors?
12. I saw it is possible to create custom blocks based on existing modules but for our homepage we have some other wishes. How can we create additional modules?
13. Is it possible to set a different header background color for smaller screen sizes? Per example on desktop the header looks best in white but on mobile the bar with logo would look better in black.
Thanks!!
Mine is ~73 too. I followed the guidelines and use WP Rocket as caching solution, but the speed is still slow, especially on mobile.
Maybe we will see in the next update some improvement, but I don’t Know.
@mods
When is the new theme version happening? 🙂
Hi,
I don’t see a logo in your site and I’m using desktop. The theme seems to be printing the image URL “http://www.planestrainsautomobiles.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/PTA-logo-web-2.png” but server says that image is not there. Try to reset the image/logo at the theme panel.
About security, it’s a big topic.
Wordpress sites get targeted a lot, I would be very surprised if it was theme related. There’s many things you can do to help fight those bots and scripts, just a few I recall:
– admin user account should not be “admin”. bots try that account 1st thing and if they see the account is active, they’ll brute force try to guess the password. admin account should not be the name of the website, they try that 2nd.
– require captcha to login (but this hurts real users experience IMO)
– use a plugin to limit login attempts
I use a combination of wordfence plugin + cloudflare CDN.
Wordfence is neat, I don’t use premium edition, free one does a lot already, including some of the work a limit login attempts plugin would do. Supposedly, websites with wordfence communicate with wordfence services and if they spot an IP sweeping websites trying to login, they spread the word and it gets blocked. cloudflare helps cause they divert IPs with bad reputation and you can set it to high security (good in case of a big attack), which checks browser integrity, javascript execution and sometimes ask human interaction almost like captcha. They allow page rules so I keep the whole site with standard security but the wp-login page gets max.
Even with all of this, I still get targeted anyways. I know cause I have a rule to block IP for 30min if it tries to log in with “admin” and it triggers from time to time. Sometimes it comes in waves, specially after a big WP update cause bots go crazy over exploits discovered and they start scanning sites that didn’t update already. Just my 2 cents/experience, hope it helps, cheers!
a) make sure you clear all your caching after changing themes; make sure your CDN/cloudflare etc supports mobile devices
b) make sure you regenerate thumbnails to ensure mobile sized images actually exist
c) use a plugin like ‘limit login attempt’s to stop people from trying to guess your password for WordPress; make sure you deleted your “admin” account and made the superuser some other name (e.g., anything other than ‘admin’ and not your site name like ‘planesadmin’ would be dumb!)
d) make sure you use Akismet for basic spam protection
e) consider other security “hardening” features (do google search for “WordPress Security Hardening”)
f) why would your WordPress self-hosted platform lock yourself out of your own admin account? Bizarre that your hosting provider turns off access to your WP admin — that isn’t nice.
Since our website (http://www.planestrainsautomobiles.co.uk) has gone live we are receiving several spam attempts to register new users and our wordpress account has been locked twice. We receive the below message. To unlock it we have to go to the hosting account.
For your security, your account has been locked because of too many failed login attempts. To unlock your account please click the following link:
Could this be a theme issue?
Also our image do no display on the mobile theme for example an IPAD and when using the Iphone no posts at all are displayed.
Hi I am using Newspaper 6.1 theme. I checked the blog posts of my site in Moto G and this is what it happening: http://prntscr.com/7onxlx I even checked the site in all mobile devices in mobiletest.me and in all devices the social sharing buttons and view counter are not loading properly. Can you please tell me a fix? Thanks in advance
Hi,
I have just bought your great theme and am testing a couple of things on http://www.sverigetips.se. If you minimize the browser window until the mobile menu shows and then make a reload, you can see that the mobile menu pops up in black in a split second. (I have used the CSS that you have repeatedly suggested for changing the color of the mobile menu.) This happens with or wihout caching. I can see the same behaviour on my mobile phone. How can it be avoided?
Speaking of mobile menu: Your theme panel is really fantastic – however, you seem to have forgotten about the mobile menu there (in the theme colors). Would be great if you could add – mobile menu bar background color – mobile menu bar text color – mobile flyout menu background color (it doesn’t seem to be identical with the theme accent color) – mobile flyout menu text color.
Cheers,
Walther
This presumes you have the desktop/mobile “enabled” vs “disabled” in your theme panel where you have pasted in the complete adsense code snippet?
I’m using header 8 and mine work perfectly across multiple sites even with stuff like mod_pagespeed doing on the fly page rewrites to remove spaces and comments.
Do you have example of the adsense code you’re pasting in to the adsense ad box ?
On both V6.1 and V6.2 of Newspaper 6, If I choose Smart Snap for the Main Menu, if I scroll just one frame down and then back up, the menu just goes completely black as if nothing is there. Also, if I choose smart snap just for mobile, it also does it on my PC…. all of these issues I am having with this theme is beginning to get real aggravating.
Hi,
Not sure why you have this issue, the logo image should appear also on mobile devices. Do you have any custom css? Please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/HCTrAhTWKPM
@media (max-width: 767px){
.header-logo-wrap img {
display: block !important;
}
.span12.header-logo-wrap {
display: block !important;
}
}
Thanks!
Hello I am using Newspaper 6.1 wordpress theme. I want to add “Share on Whatsapp” button in blog posts which will only show in mobile and tablet devices. And also I want to remove the “Share on Pinterest” button in blog posts. Rather I want to add a “Pin it” button in all images in blog posts so that any one can pin the images on Pinterest. Just like this: http://prntscr.com/7mv8yz . I dont know how to do it. Can you please help me to fix all these? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Unfortunately Newsmag theme was initially designed at this width – 1021px – with an fixed grid layout, responsive as it is fluid and style for desktop/tables/mobile screens. So changing the width would not be easy as it needs changing the width value for all elements on pages that were designed to work on 1,2 and/or 3 columns and for this you would need custom work.
If you want you can try to do this for post pages, please check this topic as reference, you will need additional customizations – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/728-x-90px-ads-in-article-inline-ads/#post-43914
Hope this helps!

Finally the less stuff on your site the better your score will be and the faster your site will be as well..
Can’t seem to get a price or “Add to Cart” button to show up on products listed with variations. Here. Single products appear with price and Cart with no problem. We can make selections for variations from dropdown menu but no final price appears. Would appreciate any suggestions. Tested with 2015 theme and works fine.
Chris – true about the mobile bit.
From a UX perspective on desktop having to click disrupts the flow – having it appear on hover would be much better. For mobile it can be set for on-click. I use Mashable as an example as they do exactly that.
The answer may be go off and either code it myself or hire someone to do it but still think it is a valid UX concern on an amazing theme 🙂
