Had reported this issue before, but none of the tech guys in here answered or even understood my plight.
but like I once complained without seeing a beneficial help/response, any time I visit my website on low end smartphone such as blackberry , and on a low end browser such as OperaMini, it tends to show some funny, and unknown Chinese language in place of star rating, which is readily on the theme.
Here is a screen grab

Note: – I Meant On Operamini Browser, and also on Blackberry smartphone, not on a Mobile Emulator, Not on a Mobile emulator oh, cause its working well on a mobile emulator since its HTML5 browser.
And most of my visitors come from blackberry search visit thanks in advance
Hi,
You can fix this using this custom css in theme panel > custom css filed: http://screencast.com/t/teoCt4qNPSx
@media (max-width: 500px) {
.mobile-logo-wrap img {
max-width: 50%;
}
}
Thanks
Hi,
1. An option for changing the footer text color hasn’t been added there due to the variety of the content you can add there. You can change the text color for module/blocks from panel and you can use custom css for the elements you want to change color of and don’t have an option.
2. That is not an issue as the widgets title are different from the blocks titles and were designed that way. You can also alter that space via custom css and adjust it as you like.
3. Use this css for that: http://screencast.com/t/NbnPWh7fH
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-footer-container .td-pb-span4, .td-footer-container .td-pb-span8, .td-footer-container .td-pb-span12 {
padding-bottom: 0px !important;
}
.td-footer-container .widget_nav_menu {
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
}
4. Use this css for that: http://screencast.com/t/Or8noyKw
.td-footer-container .block-title > a, .td-footer-container .block-title > span {
background-color: red;
}
5. I will add this on our feature requests list, however we have almost 200 feature requests and we have to pick very carefully what we implement, thanks for the suggestion though, we will consider it.
6. Replied here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/heading-slider-module-missing-in-mobile-version/#post-32694
7. We will take a look at this and fix it in next theme versions if we find something wrong wit it as I haven’t managed to recreate this.
Thanks
In your documentation (http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/) is pointed out a theme customizer with a sub menu called “Theme settings”.
I need this to switch on “mobile responsive”… as my website is messed up when i open it at my mobile device. But unfortunately my “menu” seems to be more limited than the menu in the example!
Hi guys,
I am very happy with the theme, but there a few things that should be better. I hope you solve/add these things in a future update…
For example:
1. There is a way to change the background color of the footer, but there is no way to change the text color like in the sub-footer:
2. When I am using menu’s in the footer, the top margin of the menu title is not equal to the top margin of other module titles:
3. Big gap between menu titles in mobile version:
4. Menu widget title background color is not editable in theme options panel.
5. Possibility to disable/enable ‘more from author’ and ‘related articles’ on single page individually.
6. Slider title in mobile version missing:
7. Footer menu title background is bugged:

Hi and Happy New Year,
I have two problems and I need your help and advice:
1) Ι have two sites with Newspaper Theme : http://www.alexiptoto.com/ and http://constantinoupoli.com/ .
The first has 4.6.1 version and the other one 3.8. I do not update it cause I have a problem with greek letters.
In both I have enable GREEK EXTENDED SUPPORT and just GREEK SUPPORT and in some devices like INEW Mobile (not all) the letters look like black boxes. In constantinoupoli.com 3.8 everything looks fine in all devices.
2) I have a bandwith problem on my server and I try to reduce it. I post every one hour an article on http://www.alexiptoto.com/ . Do you suggest and plugin which can help?
Also can you send me the code for expire headers that you advice for the theme to add on htaccess file???
– when you hover over the background ad, the cursor hand doesn’t appear – so you can’t tell the area is clickable
(someone said this on the newspaper forum, I tested it with newsmag and it has same problem)
– on my mobile phone (nexus 4) if I’m reading an article with more than 3 pictures and I tilt/rotate the phone – the pictures will get all messed up with the alignment and text. The pictures shouldn’t stack next to each other when you rotate the phone. (Strangely, this doesn’t seem to happen on the newsmag demo page).
see pic: http://i.imgur.com/1lsaGPK.jpg
– If I change fonts from the default to something else, like open sans, I will get 20% lower Yslow grade on gtmetrix.
Hello,
I was wondering how I can change the mobile display of our website. Presently it is like this :
http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/bde94e22-abc9-43c1-bc3e-91ea6e83f9cb
but I want to change to :
http://www.screencast.com/users/omnipundit/folders/Default/media/a450f9e4-0577-4061-946b-dbdbd45ba09e
So basically want to make image bigger(no excerpt) for mobile display. But at the same time I want to keep Block 6 for desktop (with excerpt). I have seen it done by lot of websites with same theme. Can anyone help me with the perfect block I need to use for Mobile display. Can we use two different blocks for two types of display?
Thanks,
sirfanik1
Looks like there an error on the hyperlink. If you create footnote, it does not work either.
I also have table of content plugin that does not work in mobile. When I change to different theme, then it works perfectly in smartphone.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay!
The theme was designed to be responsive so you don;t need to use a plugin. This happens when you use a mobile theme. Unfortunately this is how the theme works as it uses the same code for all screen widths styled via css which means that changing a pages content affects all screens, mobile also.
You can find more info about this here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/mobile-template/#post-27060
Thanks
i just discovered, short codes are not working on the mobile edition of this theme, i use mobile press, and here you could take a look at the mobile view :- shoutershub.com/nielsen-the-best-wordpress-e-commerce-theme/?mobile and the Desktop View:- shoutershub.com/nielsen-the-best-wordpress-e-commerce-theme/?nomobile it makes my articles not intresting
Full desktop works on “mobile” tablets, like iPad.
It would be illegible on a phone.
This is how responsive design works; you typically have three sets of breakpoints for desktop, tablet, and phone.
You can modify those by editing the style.css file, remove elements, etc.
So, you could experiment with that to get what you want, but this is a responsive theme, designed to provide the best experience on mobile phones of only showing a single column for better PageSpeed and ease of use for phone users. The iPad/tablet view shows the full site, just condensed in width.
Hey guys, so I checked the forums here and I see there was some write up about how to integrate UberMenu with the Newspaper theme, however after following the stuff posted here and on the sevenspark knowledgeable, I realize it doesn’t exactly work for Newsmag theme. Maybe it works great for newspaper but not for newsmag at all.
What I need to know is, where do I find the appropriate menu tags to be able to replace them with the ones for ubermenu? I only want to change the menu that is seen on desktop and tablets. (The mobile off canvas menu is perfect so I don’t want to change that). I see that if we register a new location we can basically have it set for desktop?
So what’s the menu call function for the desktops in Newsmag and for the mobile one? Hope I made some sort of sense, since I am no programmer by any means.
Hi,
For mobiles you need double sized images(retina) to look sharp, and the theme doesn’t have a feature like that, also is not recommended to load very large images on mobiles.
I see that there are some plugins that do that but was not tested, like

Hi Guys,
First thanks for the great Newsmag theme its amazing, I moved from the Newpaper theme to this one. I have one slight issue the disable ads on desktop or mobile is not working for me. If the disable inline ads on desktop button is enabled the ads still display on desktop. Any ideas what could be causing this as it was working perfectly on the Newspaper theme.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the awesome theme.
i use Newspaper in RTL mode.
i have some issuse with blocks resposive on mobile too
Best regards.
Hi,
Then the image will be loaded at 600px and you would need to use custom css to make it fit into it’s container on desktops and also on tablets and set it to 100% width for mobiles. To target the image for all screens widths (desktop/tablets/mobiles) you would have to use this css snippets:
/* mobile */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
}
/* tablet */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px) {
}
/* desktop */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
} You could also use the advanced css filed from theme panel and add the css for tablets/mobile/desktop into the specially designed fields: http://screencast.com/t/yqSKh7xOaZ
If you don’t have basic html/css/php knowledge and don’t know how to do it we suggest you hire a developer to do it for you as unfortunately we cannot offer custom work as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Hope this helps!

I asked this question over on the themeforest comments section but the answer really what I was looking for. Below is the question and answer from there.
Me – Is there no way of having the thumbs of the homepage latest post still be high quality for mobile phones like iphone and androids. Even after I regenerated the thumbnails they always show up grainy on mobile phones.
Support – Hi,
On mobiles they’re set to width: 100% because there are many devices with different screen sizes, you can set the images to their original size using custom css like this: – http://screencast.com/t/DHEEDFsnZQe
Updated question. I want to keep the width still 100% on mobile but the current size thumb for module 11 is not sufficient on mobile phones as it becomes super grainy on mobile screen with high ppi. If I change the thumbnail size to a 600 width for module 11 how can I still keep it within its container for the desktop and 100% for mobile?
Hi,
– You can add your ad size here: http://screencast.com/t/5NRXdmqhjgAp
– You can use css to hide the sidebar as unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for this at this moment.
You can use an custom css like this and hide it on mobile screens.
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.post .td-main-sidebar {
display: none;
}
}
– Unfortunately I can’t help you with that as the theme hasn’t been tested with all plugins. You could try to disable all other plugins you also use and check if this still happens as this could be due to some other plugins also.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi Few issues could use some help on:
Ad Sizes
– No option for setting Ad box in the header to 970×250, any ideas for a fix on this?
Sidebars
– When we set the sidebars to left aligned, sidebar content appears above normal content on mobile devices, destroying UX, Ultimately we’d like to disable sidebars showing at all on mobile.
Plugin
– We use a plugin called Olevmedia Shortcodes for our accordions, it clashes with the theme. IE the shortcodes appear but you can’t open any of the accordions, any ideas? normally we’d change to another accordion plugin, but we have a lot of content using this already, big job to change.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/olevmedia-shortcodes/
Help much apreciated, Cheers.

I think you need to remove the @media queries from the style.css … since this is a “responsive” theme, it’s designed to work on desktop, tablet, and phone. Removing the @media queries would basically stop the other sizes from loading. You’d likely want to then also trim out the menu elements designed for mobile devices from the header file(s).
Not “easy” but you could do it if you wish to “hack” the theme for that.
Hey Support,
So I managed to get the themes footer and sub-footer full width. It looks excellent on desktop, laptop, and mobile.
Unfortunately, I can seem to increase the main homepage content. I’ve been messing around with the CSS and nothing’s working.
I hate how narrow the content is relative to the footers/full-width nav & header. It looks goofy. Too much white space. Some of the most eloquent themes these days are full width, so I was shocked that the theme only allowed that tacky looking “narrow” format.
Anyway you guys could throw some CSS my way so I can expand the main content out a little bit? Make it look a bit fuller so it’s not encased by white space? (I realize this extra space disappears on phones but my tablet/laptop still displays it)
Here’s what I’m talking about:
Thanks!
-Brian
