Hello, Thank you for looking into this for me but I believe you aren’t understanding my question correctly. I know how to add the widgets to the sidebar. I need to get a specific sidebar into a page template of the theme.
Here is a support post of someone trying to achieve the same thing and the instructions from The Events Calendar developers
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/change-the-sidebar-for-event/
“To control which sidebar shows on your events pages, you will need to select a template that has the code to output the sidebar. In Events > Settings > Events Template, you can choose between the default events template, the default theme page template, and any custom page templates you have created.
So, you will need to:
1) Create the custom template
2) Enable it in this setting
To create the template, I would start by making a copy of your theme’s default page template, and then modify it to use the sidebar of your choice. You can find more information about creating custom WordPress templates here: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/
To learn more about adding a sidebar to your template, check out the documentation for adding sidebars: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_sidebar/”
Do you know how I can create the new template and add the proper sidebar to it?
Hello
Same problem at homepage, when i remove many blocks such as “DON’T MISS”, “LIFESTYLE NEWS”,”LATEST REVIEWS”，it appears “empty column”, and i can’t remove it anymore.
How can it be removed?
Should I edit the Page-News template?
Best regards
Hi,
You can use tagDiv Composer and and set in a single post template the authors box -> https://www.screencast.com/t/keiz64Zb9
Also you can set this element ( tagDiv Authors box ) as a widget in sidebar -> https://www.screencast.com/t/9viDP7ovwXS
Thank you!
Indeed, the empty page template has been removed, now you can remove the header per page, using the header manager. An option will be added for the footer. If you require it, you can download it from here – http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/page-empty.zip
Place it in the main theme folder, upload it by FTP for example
– http://prntscr.com/mo17zp
Then select it for the pages you want. The footer will be removed and the header can be disabled
– http://prntscr.com/mo17bw
Editing the revolution slider blank template with the composer will cause problems. That would be useful if you wish to display only a slider provided by the plugin, by entering it’s shortcode in the page content, in the backend – http://prntscr.com/mo18vk
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi,
Please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate all non theme plugins, also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, please deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.
Please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully

Hi,
The menu or the whole header? The whole header is possible when you edit the page with the composer – http://prntscr.com/nprim1
Just the menu it would be possible if you use a cloud header template
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
These can be modified/created with the tagDiv composer. So for example while the rest of the website uses a header template, in the page you want you can use a cloud header template without a menu in it. If you import one, remove the menu element from it
– http://prntscr.com/nprlej
If you decide to build one from blank, simply don’t place a header menu element in it
– http://prntscr.com/nprme8 – http://prntscr.com/nprmjb
In case you don’t want to use a cloud header template, and only wish to simply remove the menu from a specific page, it could be done with CSS. Post a link to this page and I will create a code for it.
Let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
From what I can see the website uses a logo image. The logo image will be the h1 in pages, unless you use the page template with title
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
Then the page title will be the h1 – http://prntscr.com/nppx8o
Where exactly would you like to add the text you mention? In a predefined post template it’s not quite possible. You could use header styles 9, 10 or 11 which can display a text logo, but then the image logo won’t be displayed.
In a cloud header template you can add anything available in the composer however
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
Displaying an image logo and a text logo is possible in a cloud post template.
Thanks
Hi,
The trending now (news ticker) is available in the tagDiv composer, it can be placed in pages and cloud templates – http://prntscr.com/npplho
All you have to do in order to place it, in a page for example, is to edit the page with the tagDiv composer and place the news ticker in it, in the location you want.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
The modified date on posts can be set using tagDiv Composer on single post template from tagDiv Cloud Library.

Hope this will help you!
Thanks.
Please help me. I need to remove ads from few of my pages. I mean all ads from it. Im using header ads on my template. So every page and post will show the header ads. My problem is, few of my pages its not quite right to put ads on it. Its just bunch of useless list of words that i think have no value for adsense, that may breach some of adsense policy. Please help me.
I tryed everything and it didn’t work. I noticed it only happens in the homepage, I don’t know why. In the other pages everything looks well.
Moreover, since the update I don’t see the “Header manager” orange button in TagDiv Composer and I can’t hide the footer. So if I want to make an empty page I just can’t do it, because you also removed the empty page template.
It’s true I updated the theme overwritting, but I deleted the theme, TagDiv plugins and uploaded the latest version downloaded from themeforest, and the problem still persists.
I’ve been so many years updating the theme overwritting (I didn’t know it’s not a good practice), and now I just noticed in FTP that I have a lot of folders and files, many of them empty and I think now the hosting is “dirty”.
I just don’t know what to do to solve the problems.
This is the events page that was generated by the plug-in.
https://local-pittsburgh.com/events/
If I use the “pagebuilder+sitetitle” template… would I be able to edit that template to include my events sidebar?
Hello !
In the default mode that you are using unfortunately you cannot modify the page template. You can use a Single post template from the cloud library and then edit it as you wish. Here are some tips and tricks on how to use it: https://tagdiv.com/cloud-library-page-templates-newspaper-theme/ ; https://tagdiv.com/customize-articles-with-single-post-templates/
Thank you !
Hello,
We are using the template fast news on all the catagories of our website, and every categories had the same content and blogspost when I use fast news template but if i use global template then i have different content on each categories.
My question is, how can i use 1 template on each category page but with own custom settings and custom blogs posts.
Thank you
Hi,
Yes you can use static content on pages/templates using tagDiv Composer and you can use column text element -> https://www.screencast.com/t/QcOdTEPtT
Thank you!
Hello !
In order to change the placement of elements you will need to create a single post template from the cloud library and modify the elements using the tagDiv Composer.
Here are some tips and tricks on how to use the cloud library and single post template: https://tagdiv.com/customize-articles-with-single-post-templates/ ; https://tagdiv.com/cloud-library-page-templates-newspaper-theme/

Hi,
Unfortunately we do not have for the moment this theme to make custom work, sorry!
For the arrow slider you can try this custom css but, I do not know if this will work correctly
.wpls-logo-showcase button.slick-prev, .wpls-logo-showcase button.slick-prev:active {
background: rgba(48, 96,155, 0.5) url(../images/arrow-left.png) center center no-repeat !important;
background-size: 15px 15px !important;
}
.wpls-logo-showcase button.slick-next, .wpls-logo-showcase button.slick-next:active {
background: rgba(48, 96, 155, 0.5) url(../images/arrow-right.png) center center no-repeat !important;
background-size: 15px 15px !important;
}
Using a footer page will be more easy to achieve that you need.
Footer page from tagDiv cloud template -> https://www.screencast.com/t/1sGZfJhqc -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Thank you!
Hello !
The about us option comes from the footer option and cannot be deleted. You can edit it if you want or you can create a footer page from the cloud library and create it as you wish.
Take a look at our documentation regarding the cloud template: https://tagdiv.com/cloud-library-page-templates-newspaper-theme/
Thank you !
I don’t quite understand the problem you are facing. A page can be set as footer page, if that is what you mean. It can be done in the theme panel footer settings. Setting a footer page will replace the footer template.
Hi,
With the composer you can design pages and also templates. Post templates can be created with the composer, not actual posts. A template cannot be a post, it can only be applied to a post.
You can design as many templates as needed and apply them to the posts you want
– https://tagdiv.com/what-is-the-cloud-library/
Currently I am not aware of plans to allow the composer to be used for creating posts not templates, so I can’t provide you with a definite answer unfortunately.
Please let me know if you have more questions or need help.
Thanks
Hello !
If you are not using a Pagebuilder page template you cannot edit the theme because the tagdiv composer won’t be available. Please provide a link to your page and the name of the plugin maybe we can find a solution for you.
Thank you !
Hello
Thank you for your reply.
I solved my problem with your hint.
I forgot that I made another post and linked it to the template.
I set image in that post.
The image appear in template.
But the text what I want to show is not appear.
the text is below
나, 파파큐레이터는 소중한 내딸과 내가족에게 꼭 필요한 것들을 찾아서, 성분을 검증하고, 그 사용 경험을 이웃과 공유합니다.
How can I set it? to show in below page.
Hello
Can somebody give me hand with adding Article title over featured image to page template in tagdiv composer?
In case anyone stumbles onto this… There is no way to customize without risking changes being overwritten when TD pushes updates.

Hi,
Most of the theme files were moved into the tagDiv Composer plugin as per the requirements of Envato: https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements, as we wrote an article on that subject. In the future, if you need to make some changes over those core files, you need to check the files from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Pu345nqP If you need more assistance in this case, please open a new topic at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/
Thank you!

So does this mean that you have to edit the core plugin files directly!? I have made changes to the footer and various part of site through child theme template customizations, how are these suppose to be added now without editing the core plugin files?
Example. I have a child theme and have
childtheme/parts/footer/td_footer_template_14.php
I have added an above footer widget area to this file, and now this is gone. How would I re-add this functionality?

We wrote an article on the subject here: https://tagdiv.com/updating-the-core-of-tagdiv-themes/
Moving forward with such requirements, a child theme will only work with functions.php, and style.css, as there are very few files left in the main theme as Envato, requires all functionality to be added through plugins. From now on, if you want to make some changes over the footer theme templates, you need to edit the code from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/RqUdpKc8 Also, if you need more assistance in this case, please open a new topic at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding!

That does not help at all. What happens when you update the TD Composer plugin? All of the updates that were done to those would be replaced.
This is NOT going to work for continuous development using the Newspaper theme.
There are ways to incorporate locate_template() within a plugin so that you can still maintain the functionality of overriding core templates.
This is not an inconvenience this is a DEAL BREAKER for utilizing this theme going forward with new clients, the flexibility and customization of this theme just went from 90% down to 0%.

Hi,
The Newspaper theme update brings a change for the customers that use WP Bakery Page Builder with our Theme: when you’ll be updating to the Newspaper 9.7.2 version, you’ll need to activate the tagDiv Composer to keep the Newspaper theme functionality you’ve previously used. Otherwise, you will have basic WordPress functionality, complying with Envato WordPress Requirements – https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements.
Please note that activating the tagDiv Composer doesn’t mean that you are required to use our custom page builder on your website. You can use the WP Bakery page builder as you did before the update. We recommended you to do not use the tagDiv Composer and WP Bakery page builders on the same page though, because you cannot edit with WP Baker blocks and shortcodes created with tagDiv Composer or vice-versa. Regarding your customizations, if you have made and have affected some of the theme core files when you will make the theme update, all of these files will be overwritten. You need to make a full backup and then, all these customizations should have to be implemented again to the core files.
Thank you!
AvatarMatt Pramschufer May 14, 2019 at 9:19 pm
Catalin,
Your response has nothing to do with the issue I proposed. I did not say anything about WP Bakery.
The theme has no hooks at all to implement customizations on a plugin level, and now the functionality of customizing page/post templates has been removed without introducing a new method to make those customizations.
Your answer of just “hack the core files” is absurd. You can not really believe that your customers are going to think this “cowboy coding” way is going to fly in 2019?
Is there someone on your development team or someone higher up that you could connect me to?
I have built out over 20 media publications using the Newspaper theme, all of which have customizations. If I make changes to the TD Composer plugin and you push out an update, it is only a matter of time before all of those customizations are lost.

Hi,
Sorry for the inconvenience! In your case, if this update will affect your websites, the best solution is to keep the old theme version (9.1) for them. This can be downloaded from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/important-new-update-newspaper-9-7/ Please notice that we try doing our best and where we find a way for this case, we will make an update with this, sorry! At the moment, there is no such thing, sorry!
Thank you!
