Hi
If you want to use blog template: http://screencast.com/t/Age9KBTme7 on homepage your posts will be displayed in chronological order from newest to oldest. You can chose wht module to use for the layout from theme panel > template settings > blog and posts template: http://screencast.com/t/q4kkjeBfev7D
If you want to use a static page as homepage you can customize it using Visual Composer page-builder. For more detail in this regard please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
Let me know if you need further assistance on this and if so please provide more specific detail about what you’re trying to do so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
Hello,
@teddigy
Sorry but the description cannot be moved easily from the top to the bottom of the category page. The page is made out of 3 sections the top template, the grid layout and the articles. You will have to get some hired help on this as there is no easy solution to move the description from one section to another. It can be done, but it takes a bit of time and effort to do and we cannot tackle complex tasks.
@Santosh Ronanki
Pleas open a new topic if you have a question. It’s not polite to hijack other people’s topics.
The category template is not meant to be at the bottom of the category page, but rather at the top.
As fopr the popular category, it is a demo block that is added inside the footer template. This block cannot be changed as it;s a predefined element. If you want to replace it with something else you will have to choose a different footer style that does not come with predefined content and add new blocks and widgets to it from the wp widgets area. You can read more about this here:https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
Thank you!
Hello, well as I´ was, take a look in the source code of my website, i found the following line; <body class=”home page page-id-25117 page-template-default custom-background amigo-de-cristo wpb-js-composer js-comp-ver-4.7.4 vc_responsive td-full-layout” itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”http://schema.org/WebPage”>, in red into the source code, some one could help, in sort this out?
Hi,
Like Bogdan stated above the mobile theme comes with it own templates and the homepage content has a grid which displays featured articles and the latest articles section. There are not other sorting, filtering options in backend and also the offset feature is not available. We will consider it in future theme updates and also more options for mobile grid.
Thanks!
Hello,
If you struggle to learn the theme’s whats and how’s, please read the documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/ as we presented the theme options as best we could for our users to learn how to use our theme.
The latest articles section unfortunately does not have such options. That is why you could not find anything about the subject because there is no such option. You can always replace the latest articles module with a standard block and making it infinite scrolling. you can even name it latest articles and select the exact style of the latest section. This is done through block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
In order to remove the latest articles , you just need to use a different page template from here: http://screencast.com/t/gTWltfbEBSf
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
The mobile theme will convert your smartlist to the default one as there will only be 1 smartlist, 1 post template, 1 homepage layout, 1 header, 1 footer and so on. Please read more about the mobile theme here:https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Your content will be converted for top loading speeds.
If you do not want to use the mobile theme you can simply deactivate the plugin.
Thank you!
Hi support,
I am not as disappointed as before, but still struggling with your theme. IMO, it is not very user friendly as other themes (we currently use Vantage Premium by Site Origin) we have tried, but I see the potential for our Web Magazine’s site. We have built our iMediaGroup’s site using the Sydney Pro template, again, vary easy and straight forward. But it seems that we have to get through a long learning curve in order to make the switch to your theme for our Web Magazine’s site.
My question is this; is there a YouTube video, or whitepaper that has an A to Z, step-by-step guide to setup a website such as ours (www.inbishkek.com) available? I’ve downloaded all your videos, and although it is nicely presented, it lacks a how to – as does the FAQ on your site.
For example; in our testing site prior to launch, I want to get rid of the pagination on the template page builder + latest articles + pagination, is it possible to make it “infinite”? I really do not want the pagination feature, but nowhere to be found is a guide how to do it. If this is controlled in the source files, can you point me to which one(s) and pass me the code so I can make the modifications?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
Please provide an example, a link to your site pointing at these images so I can inspect them. Is the issue on posts or on pages? It could be the post template. Some post templates have full width featured images while others don’t:

Hi
Unfortunately the theme does not ave a page template for landing pages however you can try to use a plugin with a similar functionality. I can’t make any recommendation in this regard as we didn’t tested any plugin for landing pages but you can do a search online and look for best plugin on this niche then try a few of them. Here I found some information which may help you: http://winningwp.com/best-landing-page-builder-plugins-for-wordpress/
Thanks!
First, would like to say I really have enjoyed working with the Newspaper7 theme and the excellent documentation and forum.
I have recently migrated my site to a new hosting site and have been working to optimize it. I did implement TD_Speed Booster plug and started to do some testing activating the plugin and deactivating it (about 5 times) as was looking at speed gains on different tracking sites. One time when I went to deactivate Speed Booster I noticed there were two instances of the Speed Booster plugin on the plugin page, one activated and one not. At this point I decided to delete SpeedBooster and just focus cleaning up my code a bit before using Speed Booster.
When I went to edit my header.php file by downloading it to my computer, I opened up the header.php file and the content of the file are as follows:
> itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”://schema.org/WebPage”>
Header area * the template files are located in ../parts/header */ td_api_header_style::_helper_show_header(); do_action(‘td_wp_booster_after_header’); //used by unique articles
When I downloaded opened other theme files the content of the files were replaced with something similar.
When I open the files in WP Admin Editor the files look normal but when I try to update the files using the Editor, when I click Update File, the browser opens my main page and no change is made.
I have gone through my site files to make sure td_wp_booster files have been removed, and they have.
I have activated my site with the Twenty Sixteen theme and downloaded those theme files and they were normal so it was not my new hosting site. I also deleted and reinstalled the Newspaper7 but had the same issue. I am using a child theme for Newspaper but have not deleted that yet.
I have deactivated all off my plugins and the issue still exists.
Looking for any guidance on how I can address this issue.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option at the moment to add blocks to your pages on mobile. We will try to include more options in the mobile theme including a few blocks without using visual composer but we have no eta on this yet unfortunately. It is a work in progress. At the moment you will have to use the standard MCE editor for pages.
If you are comfortable around coding, you can try to alter the mobile theme files. There is a folder called ‘mobile’ in the main theme folder where you will find the page template files.
Thank you!
Hi
To achieve that you have to edit the file corresponding with post template used and add a condition like here: http://screencast.com/t/fgaE01sDLe The condition will work only if you’re using a static page as homepage. If you’re using blog template then you have to use is_home() function.
Before making any changes in theme’s files make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for explaining this to me. Is there still ways to be able to display content that is used by visual composer in the template files for the mobile theme (for example, a page that displays certain content, by creating a specific template?)
When reverting back from mobile theme, which i have done a couple of times. It throws the container for the page, therefore when i scroll down, my content can be swiped right and just displays the background.
I do want to use the mobile theme as i think it looks and loads amazingly, so if there is a way of customisation through page templates, that would be great.
Thank you
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using blog template for homepage. On this template you can’t use Visual Composer because its default functionality is to display latest verticals published. To use Visual Composer on homepage you have to set a static page here: http://screencast.com/t/49dRJFvXz
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
my webmaster said that you theme has a bug because is not possible to set home page as static page and then edit it with virtual composer – any other pages i add is ok i can edit – i try many ways myself but cant get where is mistake – im sure your theme is ok and something wrong in our installation or blog – thanks for help
so http://blog.dragonsbet.com/ i have settled WELCOME page in way i wish to be main blog page but not possible to make it as static main page but last post page only to work. If i try put it static the template change.
I want to add signup form to the website, so how do i add a blank page template which wont have a sidebar and footers.
We are using WordPress 4.5.2 with your Newspaper Theme, when trying to edit a page with Visual Composer, this seems to never stop loading.
With an inspector it shows this errors:
JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.0
post.php:2
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 1
backend.min.js?ver=4.9.2:6 Uncaught TypeError: $template.get is not a function
We are also using, YOAST SEO but even when deactivated, Visual Composer doesn’t work.
Thanks!
Hi,
When I am going to build my homepage using the default template, it just keep on loading and no response.
screen capture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxtjQQj3iYG2WmNqMTVMcUE4ZDg/view?usp=sharing
Please advise. Thanks.
I didn’t see a plus (+) button at all. Looked around a bit but no way found to add anything into that column. All I wanted from you originally was just the raw code from your template file that accidentally deleted so I can paste ir past back into my customized template. Just need the code and where to put it.
Now I must have done something I didn’t intend because after trying to use Visual Composer. I .. just get an error message on my home page now – I think I was looking to add a column or something but it just got stuck (spinning icon) so I closed the window and started again. But the layout of my template changed…almost all the images have disappeared and there is a little box icon with a zero “0” in it now that I didn’t have before…and when I click that icon I get the same Internal Server Error!!!!
Here’s the error:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@rawfoodlife.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Hi
You have to use a category template from theme panel in order to have the category description displayed on page: http://screencast.com/t/Hw7vNhVEwj5m
Thanks!
Somehow I inadvertently cut out the 3rd column under the Trending Now section — 3 social network buttons followed by an ad, some articles, another ad and more articles. Any ideas on how to get those back without undoing all the customization I have done so far of the template? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi
On our recipe demo we use normal post type for posts, there is not a custom post type used. We only created a specific layout for that demo but there are used default posts and pages from WordPress, not a custom post type.
You can post recipes on your site using wp posts, just chose one of theme’s post templates which will fits best for your needs. You can also group your recipes into some specific categories so you can easily sort them.
Grid style 1 is the same as is presented in our documentation, just make sure you follow this setup: http://screencast.com/t/voGcHg5rru – http://screencast.com/t/hFeZ7Zguw1w
Thanks!
Hi
1. There is no ideal size for featured image. Basically image’s size should be at least by thumb’s size where will be used. You will have to asses the containers and thumbs you plan on using on your site and the post templates as well. If you use post templates that use the full size images like: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/ then a full hd image is required. If not, you need to inspect every element especially on the homepage. If you use big grids, your images must be at least the size of the big grid container otherwise they will not fit inside and not display properly. Here is a list of all thumbs used in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
also:https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
2. Unfortunately you can place ads inside a block but using Visual Composer they can be added between blocks using ad-box block. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/UsEiHaLk http://screencast.com/t/svjvQcYTee96
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi
We don’t have a comparison table of features between Newsmag and Newspaper. Both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another, Newspaper’s grid width is 1068px while Newsmag’s width is 1021px and the Newsmag’s theme grid has been designed to support the borders between sections of a page: http://screencast.com/t/pNkgzN1Kn8Y5
Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, for example you could check the Features menu items from each theme live demo and see blocks, modules, post templates… are present in each theme and the design differences – http://screencast.com/t/p87JJpieJd
Also you can check the documentation for each theme, other features that may not be presented on the live demo(for example header templates) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-newsmag-documentation/
Thanks!
