Hi,
You can change the module to display more stories(try to set a module that will display fine article on mobile) and also the number of post displayed there – http://screencast.com/t/o9KYgiYhY0s1
Also you can hide more articles box on mobile using custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-more-articles-box {
display: none;
}
}
Or you can try to customize it on mobiles please check this as reference – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/more-articles-feature-and-ticker/#post-49477
Thanks!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins leave just Visual Composer active, empty cache and check if you still have this issue with mobile menu. Also if the issue disappeared please activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused that issue. If you use child theme please also switch to the main theme and check this.
Also please make sure that you use the latest theme version 4.6.3 and update using this guide(FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder.
Thanks!

Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for this, you will need custom modifications to disable mobile version as the Newspaper theme was designed with an fixed grid layout, responsive as it is fluid and style for desktop/tables/mobile screens. You can edit the style.css file and try to remove the @media query’s for phone. We plan to create/add an option, but I provide a date when this will be implemented.
Thanks!
Hi! After i was done with theme customization and plugin search and setting up, I’v encountered one major problem, page speed with google speed test is 30/100 on desktop and ~20/100 for mobile version.
This is website url for now (testing domain)
http://twist.purespace.eu/
Can anyone help me get this speed up?
I’v instaled w3 cache and tagDiv speed plugin, they are live at the moment. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Even when i use a html code with link the image scales to 640×82. I think its theme related a upload it in 468×60 it displays on mobile on 468×60 only on desktop 640×82. its a GIF file maybe thats the problem
Hey, I really love the theme and it looks great when I’m logged in viewing my blog wtf1.co.uk
But when I view it was a user pretty much nothing works and I can get my head around it? The main content slider doesn’t work, the menu doesn’t stick to the top, the menu drop downs don’t show… This is both on mobile and on web.
Any idea what this could be? I’m really stuck.
For basic minification of the CSS and possibly main js files, see my optimization guide.
Be aware that there is really no 100% way to fully optimize loading the above the fold content with any commercial theme like this one — this is because there are many options and functions being loaded in order to render the page at all, and to provide folks to create totally different designs.
Many articles have been written online about getting a perfect score with PageSpeed and WordPress and that requires custom building a theme from scratch and setting up regions where CSS and js are loaded conditionally and in series based on the content sections. Very complex and outside the scope of commercial themes.
Limiting things like mega menus can help, making sure any external resources load via async (we used to use addthis for social buttons on our sites and had to ‘hack’ that to add async loading of their js, because they were too stupid to do it with one line of code in their WP plugin).
Often to get the best “real world” score for your site, you need to disable any/all things which load externally (ads, etc.) and then test that. Optimize. Then switch on external things, optimize “if possible” and then realize the “real score” doesn’t count the Google ads stuff.
You can’t control caching of external elements (time to live), or minification of external resources. With Google fonts you can load the CSS locally in your own style sheet, then simply “draw” the fonts from their CDN. Now that “Roboto” is open source, one could in theory even load that font off your own server and bypass Google entirely. Or just use “web safe” fonts, to eliminate any external font loading.
For the above the fold render blocking blah blah. If your mobile score is above 85 you’re fine; if your desktop is above 90 you’re fine. But there is a notable “tuning” process to this, and again — it’s almost impossible to eliminate the “render blocking” or “above the fold stuff” entirely with *any* commercial theme.
Not sure any of that helps… just some feedback on my own suffering using commercial WordPress themes, and also building my own bootstrap 2 templates which are running our main business portal (using .shtml and custom page builder CMS; not WP).
Hi,
You need to switch and use the blog style header for the blog style stack: http://screencast.com/t/7J3SEkaTHHE and you can change the big/small images title excerpt from the big slider from theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/tAYe72iUaltC or use custom css to make the font smaller on mobiles and place you css code here: http://screencast.com/t/kzS9TansZq
Thanks
Hi,
1. Please also provide your site’s URL as I need to inspect your site so I can provide an accurate solution on this.
2. Unfortunately those VC column options don’t work but you can add a custom css class to that row/column you need to hide on mobiles like this: http://screencast.com/t/Y5B0S3wrEcje then use custom css to hide that row on mobiles or the viewport you want like this: http://screencast.com/t/69cIbmxcW
This is the css I’ve used you can set the “ttt” class your self and sue the css below to hide it and place it in theme panel > advanced css on the device you need to hide it.
.ttt {display: none}
3. That unfortunately can’t be done easily as the theme isn’t designed to support blocks in the header. For that section you can chose from the available header style in theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/cyp8hAYjdue or you can customize it as you like by hard-coding your design here: http://screencast.com/t/JqQQmxS6Q
Please note that in approximately two weeks the new version of the newspaper theme will be available with more customization options available for the top menu and more header styles from you can chose so you can decide then if you want to design your own header or use a predefined one.
Thanks
hi, every time i get a surge of traffic, my site becomes crazy slow, especially on mobile devices. im running a 32gb ram server and confirmed with my web hoster that none of my ressources are even close of being used. i tried using google speed test for my site newswatch28.com, i get many errors: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewswatch28.com%2F&tab=mobile
i have the td booster pack plugin enabled. im also running w3 total cache plugin with page cache and browser cache enabled.
for Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content: i tried following https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/
i pasted the code in my functions.php removed it got all my files ids that i need to add to the speed booster pack plugin php file:
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘easy-social-share-buttons’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘contact-form-7’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘google-font-rest’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘js_composer_front’);
$this->move_style_to_footer(‘td-theme’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘contact-form-7’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘td-site-min’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘comment-reply’);
$this->move_js_to_footer(‘jquery’);
i tried pasting them where i thought i should but when i tried refreshing the speed test, the errors never went away. i reverted to the original… im not sure where to add them…
For prioritize visible content, i have no clue whatsoever to do, and strongly feel i need to do this. mobile only 31% rendered and 20% on desktop:
Your page requires additional network round trips to render the above-the-fold content. For best performance, reduce the amount of HTML needed to render above-the-fold content.
The entire HTML response was not sufficient to render the above-the-fold content. This usually indicates that additional resources, loaded after HTML parsing, were required to render above-the-fold content. Prioritize visible content that is needed for rendering above-the-fold by including it directly in the HTML response.
For Leverage browser caching: once again, no clue what to do. i tried following the guide again pasted the code from your guide in .htaccess, nothing…. deleted and reverted to original awaiting on your answer.
there’s other minify issues but no instructions on the guide.
i can provide my ftp access, and admin login. please help, really dont know what to do anymore at this point…
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 and for this you would need custom work.
If you have basic css/html experience and you want to do this for post pages please check this topic, but you may need additional customziations – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/728-x-90px-ads-in-article-inline-ads/#post-43914
Also do you refer to the non-responsive ads? We recommend these divs to be used for non-adsense code – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/ but you can try to use a plugin if you don’t want to use those. Theme Ad system was designed to work with adsense code and make it responsive for different screen sizes, but also you can use shortcodes in Ads section, so if you you use a plugin for your ads just paste the shortcode there:
[shortcodes] – the spot will run do_shortcodes() on the ad. Using shortcodes you can add adRotate ads to that spot
Thanks!
Hi,
We know about this issue and it will be fixed in version 5 of the theme. For the moment you ca add an extra class to the column or row that you want to hide on mobile and use custom css to hide it – http://screencast.com/t/nABIAwy5w – http://screencast.com/t/C82fxAV0
.yourclass {
display: none !important;
}
Thanks!

I would like to make the overall width of the theme wider, specifically so a 728 ad banner can fit in the news column. Right now my ads get clipped to 680px.
How do I make the ads scale smoothly across changing screen sizes. Despite the theme’s responsive design, there’s a lot of clipping of ads that occurs. I would rather just have the ads scale down to the width of the screen on smaller devices (i.e. a 728 scales to the width of a mobile screen).
Hi,
It will change the width for your logo only for mobile screens. At 767px screen size the mobile version of the theme appears, so then the size for logo will be changed.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme use the same logo also on mobile when is used header style 3 and 6. You can change the width for logo image on mobile using custom css media queries in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/u2S5E5vVp
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.header-style-3 .td-full-logo img {
width: 50%;
}
}
Also if you like you can use a fixed width for screen size until 767px – http://screencast.com/t/YWSvFyfZlP60
This will be changed in version 5 of theme and will be added more header styles options.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I would like to have the logo in the center, it works fine with Style 3. But on mobile the logo is too big with that style. I uploaded a smaller logo size in the theme panel, but it does not work. I think because of Style 3 with full width.
What can I do, if I want the the logo be placed on mobile like it is with Style 1? On Desktop and tablet it looks like it is with Style 3.
If it is not possible to get that, what can I do to have a better and samller logo size on mobile with Style 3? Changes in css, if so, which ones?
Here’s my website: http://www.happyworklife.de Please have a look on it on your smartphone as well to know what I mean.
Thanks a lot!

Hello
I am almost going to buy this theme.
Can you please see, why on the mobile: the ”TRENDING” blue graphic is getting cuttoff. from top ? Can you fix this before I start using your theme, or provide a fix ?
Thanks
Yes I am refering to the same
http://screencast.com/t/6waxUAWO4
The theme is already responsive, just like demo, meaning mobile users see different version of page than desktop users.
Perhaps you could be much more specific in describing what you hope to achieve?
I WANNA USE DIFFERENT PAGE FOR BOTH MOBILE AND WEB PAGE USING THIS THEME. HOW TO ACHIVE THIS ?
Hi,
I did not said that you have added that css…it comes from theme’s css and it is added on rows necessary on pages. See more about overflow property – http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_overflow.asp
I have also tested this and NaN appear because you have to enter a value to the “Pie label value” like on Pie value ("Input integer value for label. If empty "Pie value" will be used.") so you have not entered a value there – 77% of all material – is not a value, try 77 and see if you still have that issue (or leave that field empty so it will take “Pie value”).
Make sure that you have set font family also for mobile menu – http://screencast.com/t/uvmDqEwLCe
Thanks!
Hi,
You can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css and you can change it how you wish – http://screencast.com/t/qwT0lyhkCx
@media (max-width: 767px){
#td-top-mobile-toggle {
float: right;
}
.mobile-logo-wrap img {
left: 0px !important;
right: auto !important;
}
#td-top-search {
position: absolute !important;
top: 0px !important;
right: 35px !important;
}
.header-search-wrap .dropdown-menu {
left: auto !important;
right: 0;
}
.header-search-wrap .dropdown-menu:before {
right: 15px !important;
left: auto !important;
}
}
Thanks!
Hi,
You can use custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css to make this change, but please note that making this change it won’t change the position for mobile menu. It still will be opened on left side.
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you want to make them larger? – http://screencast.com/t/szPmbs3rO
If you want this only on mobile please use media queries:
@media (max-width:767px){
.ui-tabs-nav a {
padding: 4px 40px 4px 40px !important;
}
}
Change the padding how you need and add the code in Theme Panel > Custom Css.
Thanks!
Hi,
I don’t recommend to reduce to decrease this padding as it is part of the grid width. Modify it you will need to modify also the width of the theme. Unfortunately Newspaper has 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 and for this you would need custom work.
The space above you ad can be reduced using custom css as there is a css that it is applied on custom ads: http://screencast.com/t/QZaw3ePO
.page .td-grid-wrap .td-a-rec-id-custom_ad_1 {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Change the number if you use a different custom ad and also if you use adsense code you have to use this class(change a with g) .td-g-rec-id-custom_ad_1
Thanks!
Hi,
What theme version do you use? As I have checked this with your logo and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/6ZeFHKl3Fa
The latest theme is 4.6.3 and the latest version of Visual Composer tested with the theme. Please use this guide if you need to update (FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and update also the theme’s plugins that come with the theme’s files from /plugins folder.
You can try this custom css if you don’t want to update the theme – http://screencast.com/t/TFLiNWd0
@media (max-width: 767px){
.mobile-logo-wrap img {
width: 150px !important;
top: 0 !important;
}
}
Thanks!
