Hi,
Sorry for the delay. The default fonts are defined inside the td_fonts.php file but we plan to move them back to the functions.php file in the next update. – http://screencast.com/t/C8pxpRUKq0j
Those fonts already include the italic parameter. The problem appears when another font is selected, it loads only 400 and 700 parameters. – http://screencast.com/t/piCyBWyx
As you stated, another problem is that there’s only Normal/Bold option for each font.
We have all these issues on our list and we plan to improve the font system in one of the next updates, maybe also create options to load only certain font parameters.
Until we implement this you could try to add extra font parameters – ex. – http://screencast.com/t/erMAsiPYbjj and extra weight options – http://screencast.com/t/mNqOuhajNUgr
Then set the font for an item and check if the font loads properly – http://screencast.com/t/YJdftAL0B
I’ve checked it on my side and it works – http://screencast.com/t/XD0X01jrn
Again sorry for the delay and thank you for reporting this issue, feedback is always welcomed.
Have a nice day, Emil G.
Hi,
You could try another way. Add this code:
<ul><?php wp_list_categories('orderby=name&include=25,26,27'); ?></ul>
…to the top of your sidebar in post page, like this: http://screencast.com/t/q41M8L7wf whwre 25,26,27 represent the ID’s of the subcategories you want to display in the sidebar.
So you have to add that code and replace 25,26,27 with the subcategories ID of your subcategories then use the default post page with post template “default” and sidebar on the right to check the result: http://screencast.com/t/tPDsadSpm3
Try it and let me know if you manage to do it.
Thanks

I have added this code <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?> below <div class="td-ss-main-content"> at page.php. Now the add looks great on all pages, but where should I add the shortcode for the other sites (tags, categories…)?
And where should I add the code at single posts? I have tested it with “Article top ad”, but with this option the ad will displayed below the “featured image”. For “Style 1” (little thumbnail) is this option ugly and I want it direct below the menu.
It would be a very cool feature when there are some hooks so it is possible to add ads via function.php. So I have to change every template-site with every update…
Hi,
If it’s an image banner you can use this div tags:
<div class="td-visible-desktop">
<a href="#"><img src="http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ads-728.jpg" /></a>
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-l">
<a href="#"><img src="http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ads-468.jpg" /></a>
</div>
<div class="td-visible-tablet-tp">
<a href="#"><img src="http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ads-468.jpg" /></a>
</div>
<div class="td-visible-phone">
<a href="#"><img src="http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ads-300.jpg" /></a>
</div>
For other type of ads you can use a plugin or you can add them manually directly into the template.
Hope this helps!
Please let me know!
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
1.- I disabled the plugin Speed Buster and reload the page now the problem is solved. It is not solved when I calibrate the speed of PageSpeed page. I attached screenshots:

Anyway, how much time estimate to fix it with update? I have thought about publishing the web on Monday.
2.- Another question: I’m testing the theme in http://www.oncanarias.es but it will be hosted on another site (it is a web of daily information and can not test). Is there a problem with the license? I read that you can only use a domain. How could notice in which domain I will use real way?
3.- And the last question, on the other server we have activated the ‘op cache’ in a Ngix server, I read that could have problems with the theme. What kind of problems?
Thank you,
Miguel
also another problem with this menu: news block goes over it:

Good Morning,
Firstly congratulations on the theme, it’s amazing, had long been looking for something similar. I write for several doubts or problems (sorry for my english):
1. When I load the page appears to me as the web in text mode (better to see the pictures). I have enabled the Speed Boster (I have not installed the W3 Total Cache plugin or another similar, and most plugins have deactivated). Add Boster Speed settings. I simply put the configuration of the demo theme.
2. On the iPhone, in principle, no such thing happens in 1. But when I go to PageSpeed same appears and paragraph Desktop says that an error has occurred; https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oncanarias.es%2F (oncanarias.es is a demo domain, the host is 1and).

Thank you very much,
Miguel
Hi,
I have checked your site and seems that this only happens on homepage as on other pages like post pages/category pages.. the ads are loading as they should so please make sure you disable all plugins, empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services then check again.
Please also check your console for this error after you disable plugins: http://screencast.com/t/tsOxZtQWjt
If nothing works please make sure you follow this ads troubleshooter: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1208336?hl=en
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme panel ads fields don’t work with other than adsense/image banner ads. You could try to edit the file template and implement your ad code or you can also try to find a plugin that helps you to do that.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for the message!
i configured everything
ads showing in source code but not on page.
account is approved and ads displaying normal on other sites.
some time ads display but mostly not.

I’m also trying to get WPTouch to work with this theme. I just purchased it and am disappointed that I cannot get them working together. About 75% of my visitors are on mobile and I need WPTouch to work. For multiple reasons…first, the ad support. 90% of my income is from mobile ads. I can’t find a way to show certain ads for mobile only. I have exclusive agreements from time to time to show certain ads on mobile devices only. Also, and honestly, I just don’t like the way this theme displays on mobile. The WPTouch theme that I use is perfect for what I need. Oh, yeah, I’ve spent a LOT of money unlocking most of the WPTouch features. I’d hate to throw that money away to use an inferior product.
I love the way the theme looks on desktop and it works perfectly for that. However, this might end up being a make or break issue and if I can’t get it resolved, I’ll have to look at yet another theme to switch to.
Hi Lucian:
I’ve partially solved the problems. The plugin that what causing the strange behavior with WP Super cache so I removed it. But I still have the css problem with the aweber form that was working OK. Now on The home page and 2 more categories the CSS works fine, the others no. It seem to be some kind of cache problem.
Now about the images that were scaled instead of load as thumbnails I’ll copy some examples from the gtmetrix report:
The following images are resized in HTML or CSS. Serving scaled images could save 972.7KiB (71% reduction).
Some samples below:
http://www.mujeresdeempresa.com/wp-content/uploads/2003/08/saskia-sassen.jpg is resized in HTML or CSS from 624×351 to 198×111. Serving a scaled image could save 78.7KiB (89% reduction).
http://www.mujeresdeempresa.com/wp-content/uploads/2002/04/networking2.jpg is resized in HTML or CSS from 611×427 to 198×138. Serving a scaled image could save 68.9KiB (89% reduction).
http://www.mujeresdeempresa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/puck_poster.jpg is resized in HTML or CSS from 640×381 to 198×117. Serving a scaled image could save 68.6KiB (90% reduction).
http://www.mujeresdeempresa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/isabel_allende.jpg is resized in HTML or CSS from 745×483 to 198×128. Serving a scaled image could save 45.3KiB (92% reduction).

Any ideas?
Thanks for your help.
Hmmmm… that is weird. Our site works perfectly in portrait and landscape on the iPhone 6, which I tested the day I got mine, out of paranoia (see: http://advertisingindustrynewswire.com — not self promoting here!).
In my case, the logo is a little funky top right in the landscape view on the iPhone 6, but that’s because I’m intentionally re-using logo from old site layout while playing with the theme setup, but not a problem.
One thing to double check is the advertisements settings
1) try using the latest non-beta “fully responsive” code from AdWords
2) if using older code, make sure you change the “sizes” for phones and disable the header advert for phones
3) if inserting ads inside stories, make sure they are not colliding with other images or things like long non-breaking words.
Experiment with that.
Might not be the issue, but just some feedback.
Duh! sorry about that, had my blonde moment of the day.

Another curious thing I’ve noticed, I am using wp-smush but google still says the images can be optimized.
I have been working on a clients WebPage.
It is a news portal. They handle a LOT of posts a day. And have some nasty requirements (which force me to run a bit too many plugins like: adrotate, jetpack, redirection, easy responsive tabs, weather plugin, alexa rank widget, and due to security reasons Hide-My-WP from codecanyon).
They’re on a dedicated server, which has a long response time (about 1.4s) Thanks to the guides, here and google pagespeed insights i was able to bring the pagespeed score from 23 up to 64 (enabling gzip among other things). But all the time I have noticed that when I do the check i get an error on the Desktop version.
Screenshot here
Anyone have any idea why I’m getting this error, or how I can fix it?
you can find the site at Aztecasonora.com
I was having freezing on one of our sites running Disqus, and was particularly bad in IE11/Win7-64. Could not figure out if it was Disqus or AddThis plugin; but between those two and the Google ads — something kept causing page to just lock- like permanent wait for something to load …. “the page … has stopped working ….” (!).
And this was NOT using the Newspaper theme btw — (Canvas).
Note that both Disqus and Addthis have put out a WHOLE BUNCH of updates the past month (dot revisions) due to various problems.
This might not be related to your issue, but it’s the only thing we’ve been able to find as it only impacts the sites using those plugins, and the other sites NOT using those (running Newspaper theme or Canvas) have zero such issues.
Very annoying. In our case we ruled out anything theme related, so you may want to keep an eye on those plugins as there *is* something funky going on, and it’s not just you !
Hello Sirs,
sorry to bother again: I really like the Idea of your Ad-System in general and in special the Content Ads! Ads are very important for refinancing a website! So, this is a great feature!
Of course not every suggestion must make common sense: But I would really think it would make much sense to improve „usability/functionality“ of your Theme, if you implemented a Filter for your Content Ads System.
Problem:
The „Content Ads“ is a great feature! But having Ads inside the Content can also be:
1.) very distrcting for users (=> so you want for shure some pages, WITHOUT any Content Ads!!)
2.) you might have to adjust the ad to the content. For example you want to filter for specific words in the content and then show different ads. Or show no ads at all. Or target the Ad to the advertiser. (For example like content about death and you do not want to put ads at all into this context.)
3.) For a lot of Custom Content Types showing ads might not make sense at all: (for example a custom content type „Jobs-Offer“, that should not be cluttered with ads).
=> But currently you can only disable the Content Ads in general but not on a more finer level… This is very sad, as I really llike the feature but I can only completely disable it.
Solution:
The most easiest solutoin is (though there are other solutions more complicated, even options that might be added to your Admin-Panel) just simply having a filter Hook, that allows a developer to hook into and manipulte the ads (do not show ads at all or alter the AdCode. This is ONE line of code, but improvies your theme by a magnitude! Would be kind if you comment, what you thinkg about this idea!
Benefits (you can use for marketing)
-More Developer friendly
-Helps Newspaper become a real plattform, as it can easyly be extended
-Can really make the Ads System in general much much much better (one can implement filters, intelligent ad logic and so on)
…
Add this one line
$ad_array = apply_filters( 'td_ads_ad_array', $ad_array ,$atts);
Into td_ad_box.php:
Note:
This can of course be improved. I have not looked that much into your code… the above is the minimum to fulfill basic needs)
But with this one line I was able to change the working of your ad system in a lot of ways! This is of course just intended ad proposal, please change/improve it to your liking (I do not know your coding/naming standards …Its just the way I use it currently)
Example Copied from your source, with the code added:
/**
* renders the ads
* @param $atts
* @return string
*/
function render( $atts ) {
extract(shortcode_atts(
array(
'spot_id' => '', //header / sidebar etc
'align' => '', //align left or right in inline content
), $atts));
if (empty($spot_id)) {
return;
}
$ad_array = td_util::get_td_ads($spot_id);
//ADDED FILTER!!!
$ad_array = apply_filters( 'td_ads_ad_array', $ad_array ,$atts);
// return if the ad for a specific spot id is empty
if (empty($ad_array[$spot_id]) or empty($ad_array[$spot_id]['ad_code'])) {
return;
}
$buffy = '';
if (!empty($ad_array[$spot_id]['current_ad_type'])) {
switch ($ad_array[$spot_id]['current_ad_type']) {
case 'other':
//render the normal ads
$buffy .= $this->render_ads($ad_array[$spot_id], $atts);
break;
case 'google':
//render the magic google ads :)
$buffy .= $this->render_google_ads($ad_array[$spot_id], $atts);
break;
}
}
//print_r($ad_array);
return $buffy;
}
Hello Sirs,
I am a big fan of your theme! And the following is NOT a bug of your theme, but rather WordPress. But with such an absolutely great theme, please please fix this bug for wordpress. As it throws a very bad light also on your theme (I first thought this is an issue with the theme, but now discovered its WP Core logic):
If you submit a comment (for examle on the following page:)
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/strong-growth-and-engagement-across-our-community/
,with any of the form elements missing, you end up on a blank (!!!) page saying:
ERROR: please fill the required fields (name, email).
Uhh, this isnt even year 2000 webstandards but something around 1995. I still cant believe it. It even misses a back-link… As stated, this is not a problem of your theme, but of wordpress. But it also kills the great usability of your theme.
Yes there are JS Validation plugins like:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-validation-reloaded/
But this Plugin Ads so much overhead and degrades performance by a lot of Hooks and unnecessary backend functionality ( I looked at the source)
Yes, i could code this on my own. But this problem applies to all users of Newspaper. So coding this on my own and merging this with new uprades of your theme becomes a huge waste of time.
So please, please incorporate a fix in your theme directly (maybe using http://jqueryvalidation.org/ or directly using Jquery). For you this is only 20 Lines of Code. But this would improve so much(!!) the usability, as comments are one of the most important(!!) features of WordPress. If the guys at wordpress do 1995 Website Usability, please fix it fort them.
Note: You can also use this for advertising/feature list, as you have seen, they even provide plugins for this. having this right away in Newspaper is another great usp/benefit of the theme.
Thanks very much.
hello tagdiv;
hope you are all well. would you be so kind and advise me on the following issues. i would be very grateful.
issues:
1. i would like to list the posts on a few category pages alphabetically [ not all my categorie pages ]. how can i do this?
2. how can i auto enable slide on category pages and set the number of posts to display and set posts to display as random or latest?
3. which page [ i guess which php page ] does the category page use?
4. to get a slide on the category page, let us say that my category is shoes, all the posts that i have in shoes category must also be in featured category. now lets say i have another category of computers and i want a slide on computers category page, all my computers posts must also be in featured category. now on my shoes category page, at the bottom in the similar articles section i get display from shoes category and computers category because they are both in featured category. and if i have 20 more categories for which i want a slide they will also show up as similar articles to shoes because they have to be in featured category. but i do not want similar articles to shoes to have posts from computers because they are not similar articles. what can i do about this?
5. how can i add multiple images in a post to modal window all at once?
6. how can i insert different background advertisement for the different categories? i have different affiliate ads that are specific to each category.
7. how can i create a parallax post?
8. how do i insert button shortcode and add a link to the button exactly? I cannot get the link to work.
thanks very much for your time and and support. i look forward to your advise. and as always your theme is very nice.
Regards,
Hello,
I have a problem that only happens on Homepage of the website. I have added a fixed background on my website and every time I scroll, the background moves down leaving a whitespace on top. This doesn’t happen in any other page. Using the Inspect Element, I noticed that on the selected element the JavaScript is adding the transform attribute.
See below:
< img class=”td-backstretch” src=”http://www.hotdeco.ro/wp-content/uploads/168791423-21.jpg” style=”position: absolute; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: none; width: 1349px; height: 808.881153846154px; max-height: none; max-width: none; z-index: -999999; left: 0px; top: -233.440576923077px; -webkit-transform: translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px); transform: translate3d(0px, 0px, 0px);” >
Can you help me fix this issue?
Thanks,

Hi..
My web site is http://thebharatnews.com And I want Google adsense in Category Page. how can I put adsense at bottom of every category page (at the end of all articles). for reference I am attaching image.
Image For Ref
and another problem is.. I want to change The Article Bottom Ad Position (it should be Below Article Content).. for reference I am attaching image.
Image for Ref
Thank you..
Hello I use the header style 8, and currently there is display error in quick search results, which can be seen in the image 
Furthermore the icons of comments and views are not displayed. I’ve tried some basic tricks css but nothing worked very well.
The weirder than another heading style works well but without icons also.

Is that the theme is wonderful, I will not be a big problem for you to fix this small error due to the professionalism of you, thank you.
Hi @ctomlin:
I have 3000 posts (in 8 categories) and 3 placements (inline ads) so copy and paste the shortcode is not an option for me!!! The post injection works really nice.
I think that your idea of creating a custom page type is a winner.
And concerning the responsive ads I was worried about the Adsense ads as the others are not a problem because as you said it’s a matter of uploading the different sizes.
Thanks
Hi Schauvin,
Although I’m not an expert, I do know you can make responsive ads work with AdRotate, see my screen shot… (http://screencast.com/t/g8BUAcAfnxs). Note that you have to create the different sizes for the responsive ads (I don’t think the software does this automatically).
Also, although I’m not doing so I believe you can actually have no ads at all for certain pages. There are multiple ways you could do this, including creating a custom page type (for no ads) and assigning that page type in NewsPaper.
Another neat trick is to just use the shortcode INSIDE of the newspaper Ad spots. I did this because I was tired of trying to adjust the AdRotate ad to look like the same version I had been using prior to that via NewsPaper Ad in the theme panel. All you have to do is…
1. Create your ad in AdRotate
2. Copy the shortcode and place it into one of the Newspaper Ad positions.
3. Sit back and enjoy the beauty of your ad, controlled by the NewsPaper theme.
Here’s a screen shot showing how the Ad from AdRotate in position on my website using “Sidebar Ad” in NewsPaper… (http://screencast.com/t/2e8sle8Wo)
And here’s a screen shot of the shortcode for the AdRotate ad inside of the “Sidebar Ad” section of the Theme Panel (http://screencast.com/t/wWGEttxhuHF).
Hope that helps!
Hi: I had the same problem and as the ads were placed in the sidebar i came up with a simple solution: make another sidebar bar without the ads. When in the article you don’t want ads to show just change the sidebar. Hope it helps.
