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,

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!

Hi,
Thanks a lot, the change in style.css works.
For the text color I have added this code in custom css:
@media (max-width: 767px){
#td-top-mobile-toggle i, .header-search-wrap .td-icon-search{
color: black !important;
}
}
I hope the code is ok – it seems to work in any case.

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? 🙂
thanks.On galaxy s5 5,1″ screen works good. But on a mobile that has 5,5″ no, like before.
Thanks
Hi,
You can use media queries to hide the sidebar for specific screens, please check this solution – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/disable-sidebar-on-mobile-and-tablet/
Thanks!
Sir if the problem is related to Cloudflare, then I can see this issue in Newspaper demo version also: http://prntscr.com/7parmh The social sharring buttons and views counter are not loading properly in mobile version if I check the demo Newspaper site in mobile emulator (http://www.mobilephoneemulator.com/). Also I checked in my Moto G phone in Opera browser and still same problem persists
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.
If your fonts load on desktop, but not mobile — might not be your issue as there should be no difference unless Cloudflare handles things differently for mobile devices (I don’t use CLoudflare as we have our own dedicated hardware).
Some other kind soul might have better answer.
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 just want to ask which code I should to use to detect mobile version in this template, like the way it detect for Ads Manager (on phone, on tablet).
I would like to use it to hide some spots, widget and footer sections.
Hi,
You can try to make this change directly in style.css file and see if still the default color is being applied. This issue appears because of the cascading property of css and change it directly in the stylesheet file you should not have this delay. Try to change the color here – http://screencast.com/t/XhfSg0Ij6
Also we will try to add some options for mobile menu in a future update as it is on our list.
Thanks for the message and for suggestions!
Hi,
@lospicos Unfortunately this is how Big Grids were designed and you will need custom work to change how they are displayed on mobile. You can try this custom css for Big Grid 2, but if you need more customizations I suggest to get a professional to do this for you as we cannot provide custom work for the moment, sorry! This css code is a good start to look like you want – http://screencast.com/t/itZMkH9TDKM
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-wrapper .td-big-grid-scroll {
white-space: normal !important;
}
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-wrapper .td-big-grid-scroll .td-big-grid-post-1 {
width: 100% !important;
}
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-wrapper .td-big-grid-scroll .td-big-grid-post-2, .td-big-grid-scroll .td-big-grid-post-3 {
width: 49% !important;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-small-thumb .entry-thumb {
width: 120% !important;
}
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-post-1 {
margin-bottom: 3px !important;
}
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-post-2 {
margin-right: 3px !important;
}
.td_block_big_grid_2 .td-big-grid-post.td-small-thumb .td-big-grid-meta .entry-title {
font-size: 14px;
}
}
Thanks!

hi i have bought newspaper6 weeks ago, pretty new to wp, i am trying to figure out how to remove the sidebars on mobile devices but still show it on desktop devices?
and also, i am using this website in Taiwan, for the sharing part, is there anyway you could teach me how to add this “Line” sharing beside facebook share? (Line is and app just to clearfy)
thanks alot, sorry for my broken english
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 ?
Hi,
How to remove video play icon from thumbnail?
Because I minify my website too hard and my icon missing for mobile. So I decided to remove icon.
http://layanable.net/
Thank you.
sometimes on google pagespeed I would see the logo double also the site title and tagline. In he source code I can see it is called twice but I don’t understand why.
ANy hint is appreciated.
thx

Hi,
Please provide a link so we can take a look and inspect this as I couldn’t recreate this. If you use Smart snap for mobile, the menu will be always sticky on desktop and it gets sticky when you scroll up on mobile devices.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can use Big Grid Slider it will be displayed like in version 4 on mobile devices(just set post limit to at least 8) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/homepage-issue-with-big-grid-3-style-1/#post-55259
If you want to use another Big Grid you will need custom work to achieve that, so I suggest to get someone to help you as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your page and it looks like this on desktop – http://screencast.com/t/44EgC5bt and like this on mobile – http://screencast.com/t/0AKpcGGn please clear cache, maybe it is a caching issue.
Thanks!
