I sent you the necessary step for this fix. Any ad that is not adsense needs to be implemented using one of the div’s provided. Here is how the ad should look like: http://screencast.com/t/755e5mSM
this will add the theme style and padding as well as responsiveness for the ad. Otherwise issues can occur such as the one you are facing.
Thank you!
Hello,
If you do not use an adsense code, please use this implementation method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/

Hi,
For my site: http://smallcaps.com.au
1) How can I remove the date from showing on the homepage slider but still have the date show in the articles in the blocks below?
2) The white text for the title in the slide can be hard to see on a white or light background. How can I make it stand out more like on my other site: hangthebankers.com ? Or any other options that will make the text easier to read, perhaps making the text bold or black?
3) When you hover the mouse over the feature image at the top of an article, as in this article: http://smallcaps.com.au/australias-economy-100-quarters-without-recession/
Image showing the yellow box that I want removed:
http://smallcaps.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Screen-Shot-2016-09-09-at-8.50.26-pm.jpg
It shows the name (or alt title) of the image in a yellow box. How can I have it so it doesn’t do this and that it is just the normal mouse cursor like when over a normal image in an article, without losing the alt title keywords for SEO purposes?
4) It does this yellow box thing on the home page too if you hover the mouse over any of the articles. How can I stop this as well?
Thanks in advance
I have been reading Chrisās custom optimizations for functions.php etc tutorial many times and today. I thought to make use of it for my website based on NewsPaper theme.
The sticky post by Chris is meant for NewsMag theme and I have no idea how compatible it is with Newspaper theme. Still I tried the most updated version of his optimisation code with name “/** CUSTOM OPTIM CODE : by Christopher Simmons – REV 8.17.16 */ ” using guidance written under this sticky thread
Here is the full code that I used is here Pastebin link
I also tried “slim version for newspaper them: june 2015” pastebin code here
along with one of above written codes ( not both at the same time)
I also added following things under HTACESS ( my htaccess file is here ), optimise my Database filesusing WP-optimise and WP-Sweep and have optimised my style.CSS using online minifaction tool suggested by Chris.
After trying all these things, though I felt that the backend and front of my site is comparably fast , but no considerable change in Page speed score or GTMatrix score.
Before all these customisation and optimization techniques:( Note: I have disabled all other caching plugins and CloudFlare since last few days to work on live raw site )
GTMATRiX Test Link: Click this
Pagespeed Test Link: Click this
PAGESPPED SCORE: MOBILE: 42 DESKTOP: 48
GTMATRIX SCORE: PAGESPEED SCORE: 56 YSLOW SCORE: 52
After making all these changes: ( Note: I have disabled all other cachine plugins and cloudflare since last few days to work on live raw site )
PAGESPEED SCORE: MOBILE: 42 DESKTOP: 50
GTMATRIX SCORE: PAGESPEED SCORE: 58 YSLOW SCORE: 56
So, the change in very minimal. Previosuly with WP Super cache and cloudflare, my GTmatrix scode used to be 95+gh under various threads here, many users have experienced 98+ pagespeed score after using Chris Techniques.
What am I doing wrong? Does Chris’s codes not support or work for Newspaper theme? Should I finally use slim mini newspaper version or the newsmag theme one ?
Is there any such thread for the NewsPaper theme?
Please help me to get answers for all these issues.
Thank you.

I am facing this small yet irritating issue since I installed Newspaper theme. This is related to Newspaper’s ajax based Login option. I created a thread around 9 days back to seek for help . Amazing Tagdiv team tried to solve it by giving many suggestions but none of them work.
Here is the gif representation of my issue: https://imgur.com/a/43NCy
Do any of you have experienced this issue. There is no issue in loggin but after login, once I try to visit Backend WordPress dashboard or edit user profile. It redirects to a login page again. I mean it asks for reauhorisation:
Here is the reauthorisation URL:
https://mydomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmydomain.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
I have already tried deactivating all plugins, replacing htaccess with defaults, deleting all unusued plugins and themes and many other suggested things based on various threads/posts I could read on internet.
I don’t know if Tagdiv team really understood my problem but they tried to solve it for sure. Please let me know if any of you is experiencing this issue? what should I do now.
Please help š
Thank you.
What i want is to remove the entire header on mobile (logo, search, menu).
I tried everything you suggested in other threads, but nothing worked.
Also, i’d like to move the logo to the left, and the header ad to the right (on desktop). Wasn’t able to do that either.
Thanks
If you have too many ad units from other networks, Google will consider the content to ad ratio to be bad, and consider your site “spammy.” Disable most of your other ad units, then retry.
The theme does not put ads on your website, you do š
useful to see:
Hi,
You can use the ad in a custom ad spot in your theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/swJWM7MHe
Make sure you use this method as it not an adsense ad: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Then you can use a do_shortcode function inside the theme files to make the theme render the shortcode in your desired location. you can add it in the header if you want to have it above all of the content. Depending on the header ad that you use, you can add the code like so:
http://screencast.com/t/b8zN12pDb
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan,
Thank you for the reply. Actually I am facing fatal errors like this as shown in the images below. It’s not just a error log, but it actually affects my work whenever it appears while working with editing posts or any other options.
Image link 1
Error Link 2
I am not sure if it’s the same issue whose solutions are discussed by you both above but when I asked for resolution to my hosting service provider, they come to the following conclusion after working on my issue. They said:
Our systems admin has concluded that this is not a host related issue, but itās linked to your theme:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/4XXX_ES/web/mydomain.com/private_home/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/index.php on line 6
I am confused about this issue as if to whom should I ask for solution. Can you relate your solution with the screenshot that I shared above?
Please help. Thank you.
Unfortunatly even NO WORK.
My ads.php looks now:
<div class=”td-header-rec-wrap”>
<?php
// show the header ad spot
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance(‘td_block_ad_box’)->render(array(‘spot_id’ => ‘header’));
if (is_category(‘mainz-mingen’))
{
echo do_shortcode(‘[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_3"]‘);
}
else
{
echo td_global_blocks::get_instance(ātd_block_ad_boxā)->render(array(āspot_idā => āheaderā));
}
?>
</div>
So – do I have to take any other changes in any other files?
So as I understood I have to use if in_category – because I wan to show this other graphic (placed in custom ad 3) on EVERY POST, which is made IN THIS CATEGORY.
I didĀ“nt know that this could be such a problem, I thought I can change this in the panel by choosing, cos IĀ“m not a really *.php genius š
I have noticed that most of the time, when I open any post, the title of the post and other texts first load in their default fonts and after few miliseconds or seconds, it loads the fonts that we have defined for them using “theme fonts” option.
Now this is very simple thing but can it be avoided? I don’t remember any such experience with my old theme which were also supporting custom fonts.
What should I do to avoid this?
Thank you.
Hello NeilV1,
If you are using other ads than Google Adsense, please notice that we have an implementation for this case, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi,
You can use do_shortcode function and place a custom ad bellow the menu in header style 3 template file – http://screencast.com/t/O9jUnYRO
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]');?>
And control the ad visibility from Theme Panel > Ads. Disable header ad for phone devices and the custom ad for the other devices – http://screencast.com/t/JMLmIWxTyJR – http://screencast.com/t/CvWqdTeMuFQf Or use the specific div containers for non-adsense code – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Thanks!
Hello Alin!
Yes, we are using mobile theme, and i can understand your concern about mobile theme….but as you said mobile theme is lighter so it is a must for us to load fast since 80% traffic from mobile….
Next problem, is there any way that we can add more ad spots in mobile them or are you going to add few in next update…??
In this case we need to add adsense code manually to the posts to show both on mobile as well as on desktop…??
If there is any other way out please advice..?
Best way is to select “text only” ads for mobile. iOS will block Flash ads; some ads simply don’t load (timeout). You can also set a fall back local “house ad” for your site in the AdSense settings when you create an ad unit.
Put another way; the theme has nothing to do with what ads are shown/not shown; it is simply setting up the ad spot to load your AdSense code — the ads are served by Google, not the theme.
Also be aware you can usually put the Google AdSense code into a simple text widget and it should work just fine; we do this on one site not using TagDiv themes, where there no ad boxes, and we just needed ONE simple ad unit.
Hope that provides some food for thought š
Hey,
First I thought it’s a bug on my mobile but I re-checked everything but still noticed the most hated smart list-7 on my mobile theme for any kind of smart lists I have on my website.
Then I started reading threads here for the solution and then discovered this harsh truth that Mobile theme uses SMART LIST-7 as the default and only option. Really???
We all want the mobile theme to be speedy and easy to browse for all our mobile visitors but then SMART LIST-7 is the slowest and the most irritating list option available ever. This is the same option used by many SPAMMY websites to increase the page views on their website. But on users point of view SMART LIST-7 is the best and then SMART LIST-2 is traditional yet elegant and most popular ways to show listicles.
I am still unsure, how on this earth, your amazing team decided to use just only one option for the smart list on mobile theme and that STYLE-7, it just kills the speedy experience of using mobile theme.
Tell me if you don’t agree ?
Now what’s the option I have… other than to switch off this amazing mobile theme? How can I use STYLE-1 or STYLE-2 on mobile ?
Should I wait for the next update because dozens of threads are demanding for the same thing which I am asking for here.
Please try to provide the solution. Thank you!
Hello DotheReggae,
Please notice that our theme has been designed to use only the Adsense code provided by Google and also, you can create your ad using the div method, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/ As a suggestion, you can simply use āadrotateā as it seems to work properly with our theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
We do have a custom ads implementation method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/ or you can simply use ‘adrotate’ as it seems to work properly with our theme.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan
The seems to have worked thank you.
It was the adsense plugins.
Do you have another way of adding adds using code from places like taboolah?

Hello,
If you want to use an image as an ad, you will have to use the div’s provided in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
Wrap your code inside the div tags and the modal image should no longer pick up the image.
Thank you!
Bogdan B.
Thank you on your answer. It would be great if you implement mobile sidebar in some future update, so we can show related posts, posts from other categories, sidebar ads etc on that mobile theme, because now it looks very “poor”, there is only post, no related posts at the end, no other posts from other categories, newest posts and so on… Is’s very fast now, but i think it will be even better if you implement mobile sidebar later.
Best regards
Aleksandar
Hello,
Our ad system works with custom ads as well. Please use this method to implement a non-adsense ad: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads-non-adsense-ads/
For the mobile theme, you must use the mobile ad spots found under the mobile theme tab in the theme panel.
Thank you!
Hello,
The DFP ads most likely need another type of implementation you maybe did to newspaper 6 and forgot about it. DFP ads will not work out of the box with our theme so you need to follow this guide to set them up:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-responsive-ads-with-google-dfp/
Thank you!
I have one small problem:
On my site: http://www.rheinhessen-news.de I have ONE advertisment at the top (mydoor) – so NOW , i want different ads, for each category another one.
I donĀ“t know how to solve it.
Hello guys, i have the newsmag on http://www.inkouskous.gr and unfortunately at homepage google ads is not showing (at posts its visible). I try the AdRotate Plugin as you suggested on the forum, but nothing changed. Adsense Plugin didn’t help also.
In some other forums are saying maybe its conflict with RevSlider or other plugin of the premium theme.
Any ideas?
Thanks
J
