Thanks. I downloaded the supplied empty page template and successfully created a new page using the empty template.
However, when I build a simple page using this template, it’s behavior is unexpected.
I create a new page, use header manager to turn off the header, drag the Hero element into an empty column, and click “preview”
The preview shows me a blank page with a sidebar. The Hero element is not displayed. When I hit “save” the message is “header successfully saved”
Am I missing a step?
Hello,
In order to create a landing page with no header or footer, ypou need to have the cloud library plugin installed. The header manager will allow you to remove the header. In order to remove the footer, you will have to use this custom page template:
http://cdn.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/page-empty.zip
Place it in the main root directory of the theme under wp-content/themes/newspaper
This will create a new page template called “empty page” This will be a page without a footer.
You can change page templates like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
Thank you!
Hi,
I strongly recommend using the TD Composer for posts if you want to make your post pages to be wide. You need to create your personal single cloud template using the Cloud Library according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
Hello,
I’ve recently created a new category template using the TagDiv Cloud Library, and during the creation of the template I selected a sidebar for that category page to have.
I now want to select a different sidebar for the posts within that category to use, and I’m unable to select an option in the theme panel.
Instead posts within that category have the default sidebar for the theme.
Is there anyway to have a different sidebar for a category page, and then select another sidebar for posts within that category? Instead of using the default one?
Thanks,
I need a little help with something…
On the top of Posts in a specific Category, next to the Author and Date, I’d like to add a snippet of grey linkable text (that doesn’t change color when hovered over).
I need a little piece of Custom CSS that I can use that will reference a specific post category and have a spot for custom text.
Basically, I’m wanting to add something like “- sponsored post -” in a light grey color. If it’s linkable, I’ll probably link the text to the site’s policy page for sponsored content.
So for example Posts in a Category called say “Sponsored Content” will have this little “- Sponsored Post -” disclaimer, and readers can click it to learn more.
It should be non-invasive, so appearing next to the Date and being grey and not changing color when hovered over seem ideal.
Also, our site was built from the Sound Radar demo template.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
This forum is baffling: if I search for a subject I get – rather than a list of relevant topics – what appears to be an unorganised mish-mash of questions and responses that bear little relevance to the subject I searched for. I’d rather scan and choose from a list of subjects, like most forums, than read page after page of irrelevant posts all jammed into what looks like one post. I can’t imagine who feels helped by this presentation. </rant>
At any rate:
I have installed the Newspaper theme, with its demo content, alongside my own content. It seems to be working, except that I cannot seem to get sidebars to show on single posts (they were not visible by default). I’ve selected the default site post template under post settings, my posts are set to use the post template set in the panel, auto-select category, default sidebar position, and default sidebar.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
E.
I had this problem after updating from v9.1 to v9.6.1, but we also experienced it after editing a page in 9.1 before updating — we’d edited the About page probably ~100 times, and after a routine edit, the page became broken and would no longer load in TD Composer. TagDiv really needs to include better error messaging for this sort of thing. Why are you showing an error message if no one, including your developers, can say for certain what it means or where the problem is?
The problem we had after updating came from our custom child theme code — We updated our child header.php based on the newest header.php in Newspaper but still had the super helpful “Error at zones: 5 (models) : 1 (dom)” message when opening a brand new Page in TD Composer. Turns out the existence of <div class="tdc-content-wrap"> in our custom footer template was enough to break Composer. Oops. Changing that to <div class="td-container td-footer-bottom-full"> fixed the problem and we could edit Pages again.
The About page problem was even more fun to track down. Long story short, my manager had edited a raw HTML section and not closed off a <div> with a matching </div> and saved the page. TD Composer then started throwing the “Error at zones” error and the page was no longer editable. The fix? Take the offending raw HTML string from the text editor, base64_decode() it, rawurldecode() it, fix the markup, rawurlencode() it, base64_encode() it, paste it back in the text editor, and save. Now the page is editable again. Seems like maybe not the greatest system.
Is there a “getting to grips with the basics” tutorial?
How do I populate a tagDivi composed page with page content from a previously published different themes default template based page?
So, If i create a page layout with TG Composer by dragging the row over -> selecting the row tab -> selecting the 3 column layout (1/4 + 1/2 + 1/4)…
can I populate the centre column with an old page’s content? How?
OR
How do I reformat the original page’s layout and get the content to populate the centre column if i choose to edit the page with TG Composer.
Cheers
Hi,
If you use an actual blog page – http://prntscr.com/nahun7 there will be no control in terms of filtering the posts that appear. All the posts will be displayed, sorted by latest (publish date).
However if you use a static page (built with the tagDiv composer)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
– https://tagdiv.com/how-to-create-homepages-with-newspaper-theme/
The content can be displayed in blocks, grids etc. These have options for filtering
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
There are ready made homepages that can be imported with the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Homepages
Also there are block and grid designs, sections and many other templates that can be imported and used.
If you have a category named “”Funnel” that category page will only show posts with that category. If you want to also create a page to show these posts, you can do that. Enter blocks and grids in it, filtered by that specific category.
If you need help or you have more questions, let me know.
Thanks

Any pointers to were I am going wrong would be helpful.

Hi,
It is possible with some CSS. Or if in those pages you use a different header. Using a different header in specific pages or cloud templates is now possible, since the introduction of the cloud header templates and builder.
So while editing the pages you can select a header – http://prntscr.com/naeg7l this will apply only on that page.
With CSS a code like this should work
.page-id-XXX .td-header-top-menu-full,
.page-id-XXX .td-header-top-menu-full,
.page-id-XXX .td-header-top-menu-full {
display: none;
}
Use the IDs of the pages where you want to remove the top bar. The IDs can be seen in multiple places, for example by hovering the page name in the pages screen
– http://prntscr.com/naei2i
Multiply the lines if you have more pages. If you need help let me know.
Thanks
Thanks Calin for your valuable time.
but, If I will choose the default template. I will lose my pagination too. I want my homepage should look like this https://prnt.sc/na3l5o (photoshopped Image)
Hi,
If you want to remove the Latest article you need to change the page template to default -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/ if you want to change the Latest Articles text please check in Homepage Latest Articles in Posts Loop Settings -> https://www.screencast.com/t/cSO5QNR1eOo
Thank you!
Yes, when installing a demo without content pages will not be provided. On the other hand if it’s installed with content, the pages will be imported and they will display demo posts. I should have mentioned this previously, sorry for this.
Create pages or import them from the cloud (these can be edited and modified). Configure each element inside them to display the content you want, then set it as homepage.
There are many elements in the cloud, like block and grid designs, sections etc. These can be used to quickly create pages and templates.
Please let us know if you have more questions, we will help you as best we can.
Hi,
You can save that block as element -> https://www.screencast.com/t/JHOz0c66cq5 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/2cRi96KoedfQ -> https://www.screencast.com/t/7GTwKnRHm2 after you save the block, you can set it with tagDiv Composer in other pages/templates.
Thanks!
I understand what you mean. There are plans to modify the actions or circumstances in which the messages (not errors) appear, currently this has not been modified since the introduction of the composer a while back. I’m sorry for the confusion this may create.
If the pages/cloud templates have been built entirely with composer elements or simply imported, the message can be ignored at all times when it appears.
Errors are in most cases caused by various codes entered in the page content by some means, or plugins, mostly the error mentioned in this guide at point 5

Thanks for the reply Simion,
So just to clarify now that I’ve read your reply- When I install the theme and choose which demo template to use (without content), all my previous content doesn’t automatically appear as it looks in the demo template, I actually have to build the pages or import an already designed page from the cloud library?
Maybe that’s where my frustration has been- Thinking that my front page will automatically appear with my current content, in the demo template design.
Hi,
Should display the logo that is set in the theme panel, menus as well, with the header template chosen in the panel.
What if you set a new page as homepage – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
You can build a new page with the tagDiv composer or import one and configure it
– https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-page-builder-basics/
Demo homepages designed by us can be imported with the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Homepages
The blocks, grids and other post displaying elements will show posts according to the filtering set for each – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Ads can be set in the theme panel predefined spots, or the ad codes can be inserted in an ad box element in the composer directly – http://prntscr.com/n9zjyu
We could take a look first hand to see what is happening, so we can understand better. Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Let us know.
Thanks
I use the plugin bj lazy load but even if I deactivate it and clear the cache, the same thing still happens… The first time it happened to me was when I first activated the lazy load of the template… before social icons loaded instantly now appear with delay which gives the feeling that the page is much slower. I have never recovered them again.
Hi,
You can save that block as element -> https://www.screencast.com/t/JHOz0c66cq5 -> https://www.screencast.com/t/2cRi96KoedfQ -> https://www.screencast.com/t/7GTwKnRHm2 after you save the block, you can set it with tagDiv Composer in other pages/templates.
Thanks!
Nothing to worry about in most cases when that message is displayed. That message appear when making changes in the backend of pages, for example like saving it as draft, changing the page template and updating the page etc.
The tagDiv composer was built by us, it uses similar shortcodes as WPBakery to provide an easier transition between the two if needed. So for example a page that is built with either, containing theme provided blocks, grids etc will work with each of them.
If on the other hand a page contains specific elements from WPBakery it should be edited only with WPBakery, or if it contains tagDiv composer specific elements it should be edited only with the tagDiv composer.
Please let me know if you have further questions or you need help.
Hi,
I recently purchased and installed the Newspaper theme with demo pages without demo content because this new theme is replacing an older theme I’ve been using for my site.
Although, upon following all steps for installation and set-up (I think), the front page only shows the logo, main menu and gallery posts from my old website. None of the current news posts or ad banners are showing on the front page.
I thought using a the demo template would make my current posts appear in the new design.
I’m just wondering if there is another step I need to complete to make all the front page posts from the previous theme appear on the front page of this new theme.
Thanks,
Ben
Hi,
I see what you are referring to, the sidebar from the latest articles section
– http://prntscr.com/n9g0mb
That sidebar and the latest articles section can’t be moved or edited in the composer. This section along with it’s sidebar will always appear at the bottom of pages, when the Page Builder + Latest Articles + Pagination template is used
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
So that sidebar can be left or right of the latest articles, or disabled
– http://prntscr.com/n9g2kt
If you want it to be displayed in a different part of the page, add a widget sidebar element with the composer – http://prntscr.com/n9g3c3 – http://prntscr.com/n9g3fu and select the desired sidebar.
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi, May I know what is the correct way to upload “Author’s Image”?
I am currently using cloud template to create an authors page. However, I can’t figure out where to upload the author’s image.
