I explained it in my last post. Its two files in the last update in a folder with the name SPRITES. Just transfer them to the SPRITES folder in Newspaper theme via FTP
Update the Sprite files i Newspaper Theme folder via FTP. That worked for me… I had to take them over separately since they dont had been transferred when I did the whole update
Hi,
In theme folder/images/sprite/
Thanks!
Maybe this is not an theme error but … anyone know why at the desktops my posts is updating instant but in my mobile phones it takes long long time
Ok, so you also have no plan to add this as an option for version 3.x of this brilliant theme?
Hi,
you can try this code (add it via themepanel -> css). It will make the logo a bit bigger. I cannot move it in the same line with the buttons :|. If you want to adjust it’s size play with the 142% value (for size) and -20% (for centering)
/* responsive phone */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-logo {
max-width: 142%;
position: relative;
left: -20%;
}
}
Hope this is ok,
Radu O.
Hello,
We have this implemented but we forgot to put it in the Theme panel. We will add it in the next update.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
We will add this option in Theme panel to enable/disable swipe menu. This is implemented but is not added to the panel 😐
Thanks for reporting this!
Just to recap for anybody reading this thread: Revolution slider is a slider from ThemePunch (look it up on the web– it’s a popular commercial product: http://www.themepunch.com/codecanyon/revolution_wp/ ); it’s one of the various “slider apps” (featured “slide show” that “slides” – like a PowerPoint app, or a “featured stuff” element) included with the theme. Some people like one slider, other folks like a different one. Some allow only images, some allow CSS blocks (text+images). Some people like to have latest stories “slide” although many find that annoying and prefer static elements.
I believe the 2x “demo” uses static featured images on home page (don’t know which “block” off top of my head). I don’t think any of the theme demo pages use the sliders. I’m sure Radu included them as a selling point, but also for those moving from another site to use the sliders, which some people love, some people hate. Most news sites don’t use them anymore (think CNN, NY Times, LA Times, Daily Mirror, etc.). It’s more commonly used on business/ecommerce now and *not* for news/magazine portals, as it often has a bad UX (user experience) on mobile for “above the fold” content. So, great for GoDaddy home page, bad for a newspaper.
As far as I know it’s (Revolution slider) only used by theme to build a slider for home page or custom page, if so desired. If you’re not using it already, then no need to use it unless you want to. Sliders are NOT used to build menu items. But the demo page shows what it’s good for (link above), for those who’ve never looked at that.
MANY theme developers use this slider, or the bootstrap slider, and/or woo slider and include them with commercial product (e.g., “Newspaper” theme).
Sorry to ramble on there … hope that made sense.
UPSHOT: no “slider” used with theme would normally have anything to do with menus, navigation, or the like.
The “slide out” menu used by theme is simple CSS/dhtml/less stuff, and doesn’t need a plugin to do that.

Hi i try to improve my web speed but is more harder than i think first. I use GT Metrix, Pingdom and Google Pagespeed, is this one (google) i have 54/100 for mobile ( so bad ) and 84/100 ( not bad).
So how i can do to improve this?? Also my page size is soooo big 3,5 MB. I optimize all the images but i dont what can i do to reduce this??

Thanks 😉
Haven’t tackled that yet. I just turned off and removed the revolution slider code and plugin, to solve that for the time being. (sigh)
If you’re not using it, turn off the plugin and that should solve it.
If you’re using the slider, then, the only real way to fix that is to combine the CSS files into *one* CSS file (I actually also manually minified my main style.css for instance).
Not doing anything more until stable v3 theme (e.g., ahem … 3.01 or 3.02 ?), since I don’t want to redo anything again at this point until v3 is stable for the stuff we use.
I also manually removed reference to google fonts from the functions.php on one site, and did search/replace in the style.css to replace all Google fonts with web-safe fonts, just to see what happened. Solved couple of PageSpeed Insights hold-ups.
Anyway…”80″ for mobile right now is actually the minimum to not suck, frankly, and 95 is right there (you’ll notice it will vary from 92-96 depending on the page content, placement of the moon, and whether your cat is asleep…).
Glad all my little tidbits are helping somebody. You’ll be seeing less and less of me around here, but very glad it’s been useful !
You could try looking in the style.css located in the theme folder

You could try setting the background image to a separate logo LINK
I did. My logo looks good on PC, but it includes some text and graphics, so when theme resize it, it doesn’t look good on mobile. I want to make simpler version.
Did you follow the suggest size requirements/suggestions for the logo? I have no problem on mobile and desktop screens.
Theme Panel -> Header -> Logo

Hi. Could you please suggest me how to insert a different logo for mobile users? Currently your theme resizing the main logo and inserting it to the right side on mobile screen. My logo doesn’t look good on mobile screen so I want to make it more neat.
Thanks
thanks for your awesome support on here @christopher
“Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content”
It’s the only error I have left on PageSpeed Insights. Currently at 80/100 mobile and 95/100 desktop.
“Your page has 2 blocking script resources and 3 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.”
All those are related to Slider Revolution, not the theme. That’s why I’m curios how you can get rid of them. Can you get these removed by adding stuff to .htaccess? Or some server setting?
I’m using the plugin WP Retina 2x with the javascript mode of displaying retina images.
It seems like this is possibly causing a problem with the theme. Soemtimes on mobile, the retina image will simply turn into a grayed-out box after scrolling down the page and scrolling back up to the featured image.
Is there a better way to have retina images in the Newspaper theme? Thanks!
It’s in themeforest’s queue 🙂

Thanks for the quick response 🙂 But what do you mean with “Google adsense and add on phones”? Also is there any documentation that explain exactly how to set up responsive ads? I am a bit confused with the options Ads and Google Adsense under theme options.
Cheers!
Hello,
You can make this from CSS. There are 2 logos, one in menu, and one above the menu that is with display:none(hidden)
Hidde the logo from menu and display the logo above the menu(with display:block)
For ad, go to Theme option -> Google adsense and add on phones.
To do the CSS for the logo inspect your site using Firefox or Chrome inspector.
Thanks for the message!

Hello, I am having problems getting my images in module 9 to change locations when viewed on small viewports. As of now, when viewed on a small screen the image is very small (50px x 36px) and to the left of the text. I want to change the location of the image to underneath the ‘item-details’ div when viewed on small viewports. How are these changes implemented?
Great theme and thanks in advance!
