Hi, sorry … didn’t intend to start a roundtable… 😉
The different colors for menu choices isn’t a bad idea — some themes pull this from custom category color.
Note that some of the sites referenced, like “The Guardian” are *OLD* templates and not responsive and will likely soon be completely redesigned. Here is BETA of their new site:
http://www.theguardian.com/us?view=mobile# — note it is following the NEW thinking in search boxes (click, then search appears), being adopted on most major sites (at least here in the U.S. and U.K.). No multi-color menus, no weather boxes.
For the search box — one YES suggestion, would be option to have an entry box in the theme panel to swap out the maginifier CSS, to insert a Google Search service box, for those who wish to use Google for site search vs WordPress.
Thank you very much @Marius it work perfect..
Hi,
Try this CSS:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.thumb-wrap {
background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
}
}Hi,
The CSS is fine, is only for sidebar. Add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Did you made some modifications to the theme? Please disable any minify plugins or mod_pagespeed or other host accelerators, the html/css structure of the theme is wrong.
Thank you
I think I may have found the answer in a previous thread – adding this to advanced CSS to hide sidebar:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.container .span12 .row-fluid .span4 {
display: none;
}
}
Is that right? I was confused because the thread (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/hidding-sidebar-on-mobile/) also talked about hiding the footer, which I don’t want.
Thanks in advance!
if you dont … then your reply
I’m very happy the way the theme is right now,clean,professional and simple adding more things only put more weight on ur site and make it slow etc..
ruins the topic
where mobile is taking over PC any way..all those things will not even be able to show on any mobile phone..this is not 2001 dude.
u are not telling me that ” the Guardian ” are not aware of this ” 2014 ” thing ?? are you ? :)))
i didnt even mentioned mobile …
they dont have to be visible in mobile … like most other things .. 🙂
I don’t run a news site so i really don’t care about those things,plus this is 2014 where mobile is taking over PC any way..all those things will not even be able to show on any mobile phone..this is not 2001 dude.
What feature i like too see is a dark skin so we have a choice to choose dark or white…
Hi guys,
I understand some people would consider this radical, but I’m exploring the possibility of removing the sidebar on mobile. That’s because:
1. The sidebar makes the site load slowly on mobile
2. It’s a known fact that most people don’t scroll down very far, therefore they won’t even see the stuff in the sidebar
3. The fact that the theme has a fly-out menu and allows us to place ads in the header, footer and in-text makes the sidebar unnecessary for the purposes of navigation and ad placement on mobile
So all in all, I think for my purposes having the sidebar on mobile may be more of a problem than a benefit. How could I have it removed?
Thanks,
Serg
Thanks, it worked!

Ironically, many of the theme updates are to fix issues with added features requested by users.
Disagree with some of these:
most people don’t look at weather on websites anymore since it’s on their cellphone. 5-10 years ago this was popular… now? Not so much.
If you have your breaking news on homepage, category page, tag, right side of each post, a news ticker now is a bit gimmicky unless you have breaking news every 5-10 minutes. 99% of major news portals no longer have this.
Full search bar – many people don’t search “on” the site anymore; and MOST designs for websites have gone to the search only appearing when clicked (NY Times, LA Times, etc.)
“Readers” start on home page. Anecdotal visitors come from search engine search, not from searching on site.
Just my thoughts. All of these “bloat” elements really slow down the site, page load, pagespeed, and most have to be removed for mobile, so, not super useful to most people.
Comments based on our news portals online 15 years, updated daily. Your mileage may vary.
PERSONALLY: I would like to see an update to ensure all the underlying elements are 100% up to date and 100% solid for a newspaper theme, and would like to see the author element on by default on post pages which is industry standard practice – this is more important to us than more bbpress, woocommerce, supermenus, etc. Speed, reliability, consistency.
How can i remove the gray background or make it white on mobile devices..i’ve tried the code some one post but that have no effect on the mobile only on desk top..thanks in advice
Hi,
I have issues while acessing the website from TAB and Mobile.The Menu is not working properly and links are not clickable.
Here is the website link: http://mavcure.com/
I have a plugin that contains a javascript that uses jQuery. I’ve placed the script in the footer so the theme’s jQuery (v 1.11) is loaded before the plugin script can make jQuery calls. However, the plugin doesn’t work. The plugin comes with an older version of jQuery (v 1.9) and when i place the older jQuery in the header of footer the plugin will work. But the older jQuery version will break the theme’s mobile menu and other functions on the site.
Is it possible that the theme’s jQuery is a customized version of jQuery 1.11? The plugin author has tested it on v1.11 himself and says it works.
To not break any slide are the menu on mobile please add these files in the
Exceptions (files to ignore and load in render-blocking way) box to the bottom
jquery.min.js
external.min.js
site.min.js
js_composer_front.js
these files can’t be loaded in render-blocking are the sliders on ur site will not work also the mobile slide menu..
I’m the problem “Eliminate render-blocking javascript and css in above-the-fold content”. I do not know what else to do, would have any tips for that?

Sorry for my english.
That wrapper css appears to have worked… Thanks
Estou com o problema “eliminate render-blocking javascript and css in above-the-fold content”. Não sei mais o que fazer, teria alguma dica para isso?

Desculpe pelo meu inglês.
Hi Emil,
Thanks for the reply.
I only used the emulator to be able to show you the problem.
I did test on a few mobile phones and had the problem.
On the newspaper demo site there appears to be no issue on my mobile phone. Has some custom css been applied to this site?
I find it strange that out of the box the theme has this issue, as other themes I have not had to mess around with custom css.
I will attempt to apply this custom css, it will be a shame if this does not work as i purchased the theme for a clients site. If it does not work properly it will be a shame as I love the theme . One important part is the client wanted site to be mobile friendly.
I will advise.
Hey Emil,
Thx for your awesome support!
to 4th. I think id be really helpful to support continious loading for similar articles since it is very important to keep people on the page by giving them fitting recommendations.
I just worked 2 nights tweaking the theme for social performance. Gonna run tests tomorrow. I added a second social sharing bar, which is fixed to the bottom on mobile devices. I moved the comments ahead of the similar articles and integrated facebook comments instead of wp comments. Reduced font a little bit. Also I added a feature to hide the comments and show them by clicking the show comments bar. you may want to take a peek at http://www.dailycat.de/unglaublich-vor-welchem-tier-sich-diese-starke-katze-fuerchtet-514/
Is it a lot of work to integrate the continious loading into the similar articles?
May be also a good feature for the theme to have a 4/5 option in the similar articles interface “random” and a second trigger continuous loading.
I really appreciate your fast and helpful replies.
Best from Germany, Manu
Hi,
I don’t thrust mobile emulators, we test on real phones and tablets.
You should make some test on real phones/tablets to see if the result is the same before applying custom css.
Use inspect on the elements you want to target and look for the wrapper. – http://screencast.com/t/2nL7D3mtR
Thank you, Emil G.
