Hi guys.
Is there a way to do this?:
Top Banner – Homepage
Top Banner – Posts
I need to display different banners depending on the page where it is showing.
Some top banner for the home page, another for all the posts (or may be for every category).
I can see every banner adzone that it’s defined in Theme Panel can display just for all the website.
The sidebar banners can be divided
Hi
I’ve checked your site and ads are displayed fine, as can be seen in my screen the proper ad-spot is called on desktop: http://screencast.com/t/rYiatnDdfkqv When mobile theme is used on mobile ads are served by mobile ad-spots, and as an example the one who serve the header have a different name: http://screencast.com/t/ahL086xy
I also noticed that you using an ad system which is not tested with our theme. We tested only ad-sense and banner ads and we can’t guarantee that other ads will be displayed fine by the theme.
Thanks!
Hi,
Since we use a big banner on top of the article, we would like to move down the sidebar because otherwise our ads are overlapping, as you can see here: Picture
I tried someting like:
@media (min-width: 1000px) {
.td-ss-main-sidebar {
padding-top: 360px;
}
}
But this removes the smart function. Is there a way to move down the sidebar without losing the smart function?
Hello meremetia,
I have tested on my side and the code works as properly. Please be more careful about what type of add you are using. So, if you will use the Google Adsense code you will have to use the .td-g-rec-id-content_inline class and if you are using other ads, you will have to use the .td-a-rec-id-content_inline class.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello, I use a Global Medicence for my website and was trying to set additional block news page at home page using visual composer, but now there is a coding shown at the bottom after the footer. I deleted some page like the ads block but the code stays.
My other question is can I use other footer like 1,2,3 for widget or just use the newspaper 7 default?
My website http://www.jeumpanews.com
Thank you.
I Emailed the login information, hopefully you can get to the bottom of the problem. Although a refund is very tempting at this point, it is not longer practical. We’ve invested 2 months of planning the concept and overall look of our client’s website around your theme, purchased licenses for Virtual Composer and Rev Slider as well spending more than a hundred of hours compiling the site storyboards, optics and layout, it’s main pages and more than 200 posts. We neither have the time or budget to start over again. We have got to get this theme to work!
Another issue – the time and date of the top menu disappears when the the post image problems are present, including the home page (although the images are displaying there). Don’t know if the problems are related to each other or not – just a heads up bit of info.
One more question and this relates to the global/default post settings; At the bottom there is a block which contains 2 tabs – Related Articles and More from this Author. What I want to know is, where are the settings for this block? We’re having problems with it on the inbishkek.com site – the testsite works perfectly. I also want to rename the tabs and link them elsewhere.
Hello amanshams786,
As you know, this type of plugin has not been added to the list of tested plugins with the Speed Booster. It has not been added there because this plugin was not tested with Speed Boster and therefore may be some errors between Speed Booster and AdSense plugin. Please keep in mind that by default, the Speed Booster will move to the footer the JS and CSS code of the theme and nowhere will not be automatically moved resources from another plugin, like AdSense Plugin. The issue might occur due to some interferences between these two plugins. Further, you will have to choose which plugin you use it or if you want to use both of them, you will have to make some adjustments through the code in order to bring good results but please notice that we cannot help you in this regard because we cannot provide support for untested plugins, sorry! If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Andrei, Thanks for the quick response . I hope you must have taken care of the fact you need to use “different author image” other than “default avatar” in the above shown example of yours. Because the problem is- it shows the default avatar at the place of real author image.
It’s becoming harder to solve this now but one thing is sure. I am still facing thing issue is only with style types with single_templates.php files. I am unable to understand what is wrong where.
For example, Here is how a single post calls for the small author image.
1. This is the code I took from view source when a loop_single style type was active, which displays author image correctly.
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<img src="https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAd_AAAAJDdiYzA5Mjc2LWQzOWEtNDM5NC04YzkwLTQ1ODk4MDM0MzFlYg-200x198.jpg" width="42" height="42" alt="Amardeep Singh" class="avatar avatar-42 wp-user-avatar wp-user-avatar-42 alignnone photo"/><div class="td-post-author-name"><div class="td-author-by">By</div> <a href="https://domain.com/author/amardeep-singh/">Amardeep Singh</a></div> </div>
2. This is the code I tool when single_template style was active for the same post. It shows the default avatar
<div class="td-module-meta-info">
<img src="https://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/domain-Fevicon-iOS-152-152x150.png" width="42" height="42" alt="" /><div class="td-post-author-name"><div class="td-author-by">By</div> <a href="https://domain.com/author/amardeep-singh/">Amardeep Singh</a></div> </div>
Can you spot why the same code is calling for two different images under different style type? Since you are developer , you may spot things that I am unable to find.
Hi Bogdan, In my thread ( https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-speed-booster-plugin-setup-issues/) you have explained many great things about speedbooster plugin and also explained a workaround way to make all plugins work with tdbooster.
Today I tried to comment out the above-written code from sppedbosster.php to whitelist all the plugins. It worked and now I can see that the “td speed booster plugin” is showing “active” under system panel.
But unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be doing anything. I also the “view source code” on chrome and found “speedbosster is running on each page. but there is no change in pagespeed score and .js and css files are still showing same render blocking issues. Have a look at this screenshot: https://i.snag.gy/6YsgCl.jpg here is the report: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftomatoheart.com%2F&tab=desktop
Shouldn’t it be okay now? What should I do ?
The only change that I notice, is change in the position of image caption box: Here is how it used to look before: https://i.snag.gy/hflEuA.jpg
Here is how it looks now: https://i.snag.gy/ICc1Wj.jpg
The responsibe code for the design and positioning of this image caption box is written under CUSTOM CSS here: https://i.snag.gy/p47FrG.jpg
Here is the code :
.wp-caption-text a {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) none repeat scroll 0 0;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 3%;
}
.wp-caption-text, .wp-caption-text a {
color: #fff;
font-size: 10px;
margin-top: -28px;
text-align: left;
line-height: 20px;
margin-left: 3px;
}
The similar impact I found when I turned on rocket loader of cloudflare. It makes the site very fast but this image caption box disappears once page fully loads. I thought that tdbooster should have compatibility issues only with plugins , not with CUSTOM CSS codes. but it seems to be conflicting with it too.
How can I make this css code unimpactable for rocket loader or td speedbooster plugin. Should I try writing this code directly to style.css ?
Please help me to make these awesome performance plugins compatible .
Thank you.
Sorry, probably unique to your setup.
Only time we’ve had admin issue in 11 years with WP, using 100+ themes was bad plugin, bad hosting setup or using one of those dorky “frameworks” that add a whole extra layer between theme, WP and admin panel.
Keep massaging your setup — if your site admin is speedy using another theme, but slow using this one, then there is some oddity there, to be sure, but that is NOT normal.
One presumes you have gobs of RAM allocated to WP, expanded your php timeout and uploads settings, gzip/deflate working right, opcache/memcache properly working, no oddball cookies or cookie blocking issues, correct http/https setup, etc.
Just throwing out ideas… đ
There is post posted in the forum on Oct 21, 2015, today is September 17, 2016 – 11 MONTHS! I had the same issue last week and WASTED 1 week working on trying to solve the problem. The images DO load SOMETIMES for a short time then disappear again.
Oddly, in the test site (www.testsite.inbishkek.com) using the magazine demo, everything works perfectly, after it was hand-copied to its home (www.inbishkek.com) and switched demos to the default demo (client wanted the text boxed) we’ve had nothing but problems with images being displayed on pages and posts. All settings are the same including plugins. Both the test site and home site work without problems on smartphones; Windows, Android (Google) and iOS (iPhone), as well as Windows 8.1 tablets, iPads and Android tablets. So the problem are not PLUGINS. It’s the code stupid!
Documentation about this problem cannot be found in the KNOWN BUGS or theme issues anywhere, just in a post in your forum – and I found this thread by chance! Instead of the bonehead advice from support to disable all plugins, I instead disabled lazy loading, and now the home page of the site seems to be working again on all PC based browsers, but only the FRONT PAGE has been working for the past hour. The problem is intermittent, it comes and goes randomly, so I’m not sure how long this will remain true.
The POSTS, however, still have issues. Only only some images showing up. So what could be the problem? Both sites are in the same domain, but test site is a subdomain – so that’s not the problem. 2 sites, same configuration except for the test site has lazy loading enabled – everything works perfectly. The home site, which was copied later after verification that it worked, and has had lazy loading from the beginning. We’ve disabled lazy loading on the home site and only the home page has no issues. We’ve created a “special page titled http://www.inbishkek.com/newspaper7-problems, please look at the screenshots, at the very least, visit the links before answering this query.
The screenshots are from identical post pages of the two sites. All images display correctly in the test site – the Huge IT slider and style 8 post, lazy loading was NEVER disabled. In the home site, before lazy loading was disabled, no post images, but sitewide sidebar displayed fine. With lazy loading disabled, images appear in the post but NOT the style 8 top image of your POST TEMPLATE and the Huge IT slider. This is happening in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Vivaldi browsers. In Safari and IE everything works on both site versions. WTF?
If the shit does not work for ALL browsers, at least get rid of the defective feature! Don’t make us waste our time researching for solutions, writing these stupid posts and waiting a couple of days for replies. We have better things to do!
It is troubling that developers continually tout a feature to speed up site loading, yet fail to FIX the problem after 1 year! NO it’s not a plugin conflict, it’s a issue with your CODE!
I think everyone is getting tired of these bullshit cookie cutter answers by lazy coders & developers; “This problem might be a plugin conflict. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and then activate lazyload and see if the problem is still there.”
This crap advice/response not only pisses your customers off, but it negatively impacts site development deadlines we have committed to our clients! Will I recommend this theme for a client? Definitely not. If they want it, I’ll do my best to dissuade and steer them in another direction.

Hi again.
Why I asked for modification in Newspaper Theme 7.4 in this Thread?
To prevent unwanted Spam Users to Register. The inbuilt Login / Register function has no option for including Captchas or other Plugins to check if this is a real User. So for me it is to unsecure to use this function.
After a long ride a found a Solution which fullfills my needs when I modified the Code in following folder:
/Newspaper/parts/header/top-menu.php
Answer:
//show login widget (must be disabled in Theme : disabled Show SignIn/Join in NewspaperTheme in Header – TOP Bar
So I was able to prevent all the Modals which are used for Login/ Register / Login in Comments to open
//To show Logged-Out Users a Login/Register Link to my own Login/Register Page in Top-Bar
//To show logged-In Users their Avatar and a Logout Out Link in Top Bar
//To prevent unwanted Spam Users to register without verifying
cause Newspaper Modal has no option for including Captchas or other Security Plugins without heavy modifications
The modified Code can be viewed here:
It activates the Login / Register Link in Top Bar Menu
Please note: In Mobil view the “Login/Register” or if a User is loggedIn the “Avatar/UserName/Logout” isnÂŽt shown but it will do in Desktop View. And for my Users I have a seperate Login / Register / Account Page. So this isnÂŽt really a problem.
Maybe in a Future Newspaper Update we get the possibility in Theme Setting to have a own setting for include a Url for: Login / SignIN – so that we donÂŽt need to activate the Modal Login/Register if we have our own plugin which handles the Registration / Login of our users. But have the Login/Register | User Account/Logout Links displayed in Top-Bar Menu. In Desktop View and in Mobil View.
Hi
We removed the install buttons because many people used to believe that it’s a required plugin and without it the the site won’t be responsive. This plugin is an optional plugin mean to sped up the site on mobile devices. The mobile theme plugin is included in Newspaper-tf/plugins folder: http://screencast.com/t/jrlkLPSuK2p and can be installed like any other plugin from wordpress dashboard. If you’re using Seo By Yoast plugin install this version of mobile theme plugin: http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/td-mobile-plugin.zip as the one included in theme’s path create a conflict with Yoast.
Thanks!
Hello gardenvale,
I have inspected your gap and this comes from your ad, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/UY7PDa2cDmKQ Your Ad from the sidebar is not right set it because this is empty. For more information about Ads, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello,
Adding a custom image ad is very simple in our theme. you can use this code:
<div class="td-all-devices"><a href="add your desired URL here"><img src="Add your image source here"/></a></div>
Add the code as an ad in the theme ad spots. In this case, the header ad: http://screencast.com/t/vnRD5hecTSEH
Here is the documentation on this process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Thank you!
You should optimize your site a bit for things from the report like removing query strings, compressing javascript and main CSS, where possible; consider searching web on how to optimize some of the stuff you’re loading from external sites like DISQUS — e.g., why is the disqus code loading on your home page?
It’s a process.
Make sure you have enough memory allocated to WordPress, and make sure you increase the limits for php processes time-outs, and consider reducing the number of external elements on posts which sloooow down the site. You can’t control the stuff loading from elsewhere and these do impact your score; so only way to increase score when using them, is either not use them, or find ways to optimize how they load — but not part of theme.
I do have a lengthy post in the docs > tutorials > best of forums on some speed up tricks I use; and many others here have posted similar.
To stay sane:
1) try optimizing your site with disqus off, ads off, and not using external elements like jetpack, or external things like smush-it, etc.
2) optimize based on a typical post page, not home page as they will never get highest score due to all the modules, queries, and images
Good luck!
Hi
I am now using newsmag to do a new website in Mandarin language and am using one of templates,
then I found that I always show all contents on the block by using the block with content as below
then I checked theme panel->excerpts and found you already have default limit which why other demo post isn’t affected.
I searched many ways and still am trying to solve the problem, then I tried typing some English content, and the excerpts finally act normal like post templates….
However, this website is made for Chinese people, we need to post in Mandarin, is there any solution can solve this?
Thanks
HI
@@GlanceCompany The theme support banner ads, you can find more details in this regard in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Let us know if you need further assistance o this.
Thanks!
Just some feedback as somebody who uses his iPad every day going on 4 years:
On the iPad in portrait, the sidebar does stay on the right unless you have something in the sidebar which is not responsive and which has a fixed width of 300. So, this is why it’s best to use “responsive” ad units, and anything else you put in your sidebar.
On a phone, it would make no sense to have the sidebar visible as it would be too narrow for anybody to see.
Simpler solution is to turn off sidebar ads on mobile, and then enable top of post ads for mobile đ
I guess if you’re using an iPad mini, the OTHER best solution would be to create a new viewport for “that size” which is in-between a phone and iPad. But you’d likely need to figure out what size that is, then modify the style.css to add that”width” at bottom of your style.css file.
So, the original iPad mini, which isn’t a good idea to shoot for is 1024×768, which is really about what a modern phone happens to be.
However an iPad MINI rev4, has a resolution of 2048-by-1536 — so you’d need an “interim” viewport added for the 1536 width to not break and go to smaller size and lose sidebar.
Hopefully food for thought đ
Hmm.. Okay ! I get it.
Thank you for suggesting about hiring a developer ( pun intended ) and yes I know about support policies very well.If the would have taken it literally, I or none of other members had ever felt the awesomeness that gets in various amazing threads here.
Being associated with WordPress for long for I know that the customizations that I asked for here don’t need more than 5 lines of simple CSS ( about changing the position of â Create an accountâ button ) but since there is no legal boundation to help for this based on support policy, you have all the right to deny or say No.
On a serious note, I do understand that dealing with so many things by a small team of developers can really be tough so I have nothing but respect and praise for all you guys,
I will surely figure it in someway.. because I will be made if I had to hire a developer for this.
Thank you đ
Hi everyone,
I’ve been trying to speed up my website as it scores poorly on GTMetrix and the other testing sites. They all recommend I optimize images even after I’ve already done so because the scan tools are finding the image names altered from what I uploaded.
To try and make things faster, I have edited images to the exact sizes I wish them to display. So every image is “full size.” Yet GTMetrix scans show the page loads with image filenames with characters after the “.jpg”. For example, a natively 600px image “/uploads/09/09/image-1.jpg” becomes “/uploads/09/09/image-1.jpg?w=600” once I upload it to the server. The added question mark and characters seems to trigger the “you need to optimize this image” flag on GTMetrix, even though the original file was optimized.
Can anyone recommend how I can stop “?w=600” from automatically getting added to the end of filenames once I upload? Can I have the filename be exactly what I type?
Thanks!
( oh, and you do want caching/TTL running for your site, so that the directives to cache stuff work using the server’s opcache/memcache; but do all the optimizations without using any caching plugins, in order to see changes, make changes, etc. — what these do is tell the browser not to keep re-loading things like your logo every time the page loads, or the style sheet, etc., and if they come back tomorrow, page loads quicker as the ‘time to live’ is longer than 24 hours or whatever — this speeds up pages, separate from the gzip/deflate stuff … )
Put another way:
server caching helps the server serve up re-used files quickly without reloading the single files over and over and over.
Caching plugins create a “static” copy of your page for short period of time, so that the whole page can be downloaded as a much quicker element as there are not dbase queries waiting on php processes for 20 things on the page.
Not sure that helps, just anecdotal.
Hi Bogdan,
Yes we already had conversations through email ( and that’s why I mentioned that TagDiv has already tried) but I have already tried each and everything except fresh installation.)
But then what does it mean by the fresh installation. This is already a new theme and has been freshly installed 2 weeks back and I am facing this issue since the new theme installation.
I have tried installing default theme or previous theme and all works totally fine because there is no Ajax based login on any other theme. And as far mydomain.com/wp-admin login is concerned , it’s working very fine.
So, either there is some conflicting code in ajax login.php or it’s getting some redirection command from somewhere ( means by any old unused deleted plugin codes). Though I have already repaired, optimized my database and have deleted old Wordfence plugin related files and many other files using grabage collector plugin.
In the very first solution to this issue , TagDiv support has told me to check with Hosting provider because they noticed ( see this image that the theme canât access admin-ajax.php . When ajax pagination is used the theme makes many requests at this file and server security module may treat it as a thread and it will be banned.
I asked about this my hosting provider, they replied that they can’t see any issue from server side and-and A 403 error is normally linked to how you have file permissions setup and the theme might have changed a few permission while activating.
Can you please check if any such 403 errors are still coming? Where should I look for file permission? then I also tried following method suggested under many threads to stop redirection:
One possible solution, I found to the similar problem is this:
Go into PhpMyAdmin to your WordPress database
Find the table named wp_usermeta
Find the rows titled session_token
Delete the value associated with it
(Mind you the value is huge and your browser might freak out. I did it by clicking âeditâ for that record first, then toggling the null value for the field on and off, selecting the empty field and pressing delete a couple of times to make sure, and then hit save)
But it didn’t work either. I am not sure if it’s the theme issue or not , but it happens only with this theme and only when using Ajax login. Can you tell me where will I find this Ajax login.php file to see if there are any redirection option?
Can’t we stop this redirection by writing some code? I have also changed/renew the SALT security codes under WPconfig.php but nothing worked till now.
I am just waiting for one angel who can look and rectify this issue.
Thank you.
