Often the problem with a robots.txt file is that it can, by default, block areas of the WP install which actually have the elements needed to render the mobile version, such as the theme folder, or similar. However, this is usually done by a developer, or an automatic file created by server side hosting WP auto-installers, etc.

The theme is responsive, which means the same theme is being loaded for desktop and mobile devices, and only the CSS changes for the “viewport” … meaning, the same style.css file is loaded by either device, but the mobile deice “reads” the part of the CSS that pertains to that size (“viewport”).

Technically, if you have an issue in your robots.txt file, you can actually open that and look at it; and remove everything except any special blocking you might have in place for an abusive content bot, or any directive to Google to NOT index something like a /members/ folder, etc.

Put another way, simply empty your robots.txt file if you feel it’s blocking something! WordPress technically doesn’t use it for anything.

Old school folks might want to put link to their xml sitemap for those spiders which don’t know how to find it (e.g., Google and Bing – you should be submitting that in your webmaster accounts); and again might want to put in some directives for certain bots to not scrape content — but bad bots ignore those anyway.

Pre Sale Question - topic

Feb 28, 2015 at 7:46 pm

Hi,

Love the new features on this theme. I have a few questions.

1. I use a lot of video that is not from the normal sites like Vimeo, YouTube, etc. I use brightcove and the like. Can I place the video in the same place as this YouTube video on this page? http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-shooting-with-the-gopro-hero-action-sports/

2. Is the theme compatible with buddy press?

3. Am I over looking the full width not boxed example?

4. Mobile sidebar? Since the sidebar is often placed at the bottom of the articles on mobile, does this theme have the ability to show a different sidebar for mobile?

Mobile Logo Size - topic

#0

Feb 28, 2015 at 5:38 pm

Hi

I’m using Header Style 3 (full width logo + menu)for my homepage and uploaded a 3000×300 logo image. (I want a bigger logo than 300×100)
I’ve also used 3000×300 for mobile logo too, but the display seems too small on the top right corner. Can I make the mobile logo bigger across the header? The website is http://www.konenok.com

Do I have to make changes to css? If so, which files do I need to edit? Or where can I add the code? (I’m using a child theme)

Thank you for your help

Show custom titles on pagination with nextpage - reply

#39334

Feb 26, 2015 at 12:53 am

Thank you for the response. The plugin you recommended works OK for computer-use but does not do a very good job for mobile devices and smaller screens.

I have searched everywhere to try and find something that at leasts gives me the option to write custom titles instead of the regular 1, 2, 3 etc. for the paginated posts but so far – nothing. Not even among the pay-plugins on codecanyon etc.

I know this doesn´t really have anything to do with support for the theme but do you have any other ideas where I might find some plugin (or anytning) that gives me this option?

Post Meta Data (Author and Comment Count) - topic

#0

Feb 25, 2015 at 9:40 am

Hello, had a couple of questions regarding meta-date and their display.

First, is there anyway to keep the comment count and icon from disappearing on mobile devices? You can see as you re-size the screen, once it gets to a certain width, the comment count icon disappears. Is this just a simple CSS edit?

Also, any reason why the author isn’t showing up under title on single post pages? I looked at the loop-single.php file and it looks like there is a PHP if statement that checks to see if it’s enabled within the theme settings. It is (it shows up on the home page). Any thoughts?

Also, is there an estimated release of version 5?

Thanks,

Hide column for mobile devices on homepage - reply

Feb 23, 2015 at 8:21 am

Hi,

Please try to add an extra class to that block(text block) that you are using: http://screencast.com/t/fQhD1Ye2O

And use css code to hide it on mobile in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/awayBCam

@media(min-width:767px){ .author{ display: none; } }

You can also add an extra class to the column, if on block settings don’t have extra class field: http://screencast.com/t/mMyiDOZN4YZ and css to hide it.

Thanks!

Photo recommendations on newmag - topic

Hi
we need to set a standard for publishing photo with newsmag. Is there a how-to guide for the theme?
Some troubles we’re experiencing:
1) images (some) blurred on mobile
2) wrong aspect ratio or resolution on photo posted by the editors (that’s why I’m looking for the official recommendations to broadcast to the team)

Thanks and regards

Hi,

1. Please use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/6TEPHxcz917y

.home .td-g-rec-id-custom_ad_3{ margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; }

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

2. Yes it is possible, you have to add a class to that row that you want to hide on mobile view: http://screencast.com/t/TrpfoAGF
And use css code to hide that row on mobile view:

@media (max-width: 767px){ .your class{ display: none; } }

Desktop: http://screencast.com/t/avEVO2TFKZ
Mobile: http://screencast.com/t/48NdbHbCgzg

Big Slider Going Awry With Dimensions - topic

#0

Feb 17, 2015 at 6:09 am

I am doing quite a few posts on this forum ever since my recent purchase. I apologize for that. I am new to the theme and I hope you’ll pardon my naiveness.

The thing is, my theme works fine and is fully responsive in the full width layout, but when I change it to boxed layout, I find that the Big Slider becomes unproportional and too wide on mobile devices. This means that half of the big slide gets cut and only half of it is visible on mobiles. Here’s a snapshot of what happens on loading the big slider on the mobile:

http://www.allaboutoccult.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/aaoCapture1.png

See? It just goes crazy! Moreover, the big featured image on the big slider doesn’t even fill up its container, here’s how it looks:

http://www.allaboutoccult.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/aaocapture322.png

I tried regenerating the thumbnails, to no avail. Can anyone help? Thanks a lot,

Hi,

@gouravgola
Unfortunately this is how the theme works. We currently have this on our todo list and we are trying to find a solution for it, but I can’t let you know how long it will take for this.
You could use js to detect mobile screens and load different content but you will need custom work for that. The theme hasn’t been designed to use a mobile template.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the message!

#38442

Feb 16, 2015 at 3:35 pm

Hi,

As Chris stated the @media queries are used to style the content for mobile screen widths. You can edit the theme’s css file and search for @media (max-width: 767px) and remove them, leaving just the style for tablet which is under @media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px): http://screencast.com/t/5pibBDJP33d
I suggest you backup your current theme installation before you alter it so that you can revert back to it if something goes wrong.
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Blurry pictures on tablets with Block 8 + How to change header bg color? - reply

#38388

Feb 16, 2015 at 9:56 am

Hi,

The thumbs for the images on blocks/modules are created by the theme and loaded at smaller sizes so when on phones or tablets depending on the screen view the thumbs need to get a bit stretched so that they fill their container. You could change this by adding a new thumb size or altering the one you use and have it to use a larger one which would look better on mobiles or tablets.
The size of the images can be changed from functions.php: http://screencast.com/t/FbsZ2g0g
And regenerate thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
Please also note that if you alter it’s size it you might need some css modifications.
You could change it’s color via css but only if you’re using different blocks on your sidebar as if you’re using the same block/blocks you can’t target via css just one and change it’s color.
Let me know of your situation I’ll let you know if it can be done easily.

Thanks

Mobile site doesn't work properly - reply

#38351

Feb 15, 2015 at 7:42 pm

Thanks for the help so far.

Two things I’ve noticed:

1. It says ‘This theme requires the following plugin: WPBakery Visual Composer.’ at the top of the page. I currently have Version 4.3.5 installed.
Also there was originally two of these plugins installed. I deleted the lower version.

2. When tagDiv Speed Booster is activated it turns the mobile site to a blank page. – it’s currently still inactive.

So it looks like there’s an issue with the ‘WPBakery Visual Composer’ and the tagDiv Speed Booster seems to block the mobile version being displayed.

Anyone recommend a next step?

Regards

I have a question,

Are you installing WPTouch to try and “save” and recover from the loses you experienced?

What did you use before the newsmag theme?

Was it responsive, how is google indexing the new theme.

I haven’t ever experienced a drop like this….. and I have around 50 percent of my traffic is Mobile.

If anything I lost more traffic trying out WP Touch Pro then using a normal desktop theme (as bad as that sounds)

Also which are you using to test page speed?

Feb 14, 2015 at 7:54 am

Hello, i have been working on mobile speed for my website for a very long time, i followed all the instructions to speed it up. since i changed my template to responsive on mobile, my earnings and pageviews has dropped significantly, that is probably because of slow load on mobile.

my point is, if on desktop my website is making 100 requests and page size is 1 mb then for mobile it will be same.. but where desktop load it easily mobile will take time to load it!

so here is where i am trying to work, i tried to install wptouch plugin to my website but it is not working with it, it is showing shortcodes at home page..i tried to search on forums for solutions but nothing worked for me.

i have been on ur forum for a long, you guys are pretty good and reply all of us, but you need to fix this issue, because people who buy your theme, expect that it would help them to enhance their revenue. no doubt your theme is awesome on desktop but it do killing revenue for people who get most of their traffic from mobile, like me, i have 75% mobile traffic and it killing my mobile revenue!

please take this issue seriously and come up with solution, as mobile traffic is increasing everyday!
please come up with solution for us or we will have to change the theme!

Thank you!
