Hello, after the upgrade to Newsmag 3.0, the category title disappeared from the category page.
I want to show only the title of the category, not the related/other categories. Is this possible?
I mean, when the “category template” was “disable” in the theme panel, it showed the title of the category. Now, if “disable” is selected, it shows nothing. I want it to show only the category title, like it was on newsmag2.
Hi,
If you want to add your own custom block coding skills are required. You can use the theme api system: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_blockadd/
As for the difference between the 2 themes:
Both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in design/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 you notice 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/
You can check on our live demo all the Big Grid blocks available – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
If you want to customize one of them or even create a new block you will need custom work and unfortunately the time doesn’t allow us to provide any type of custom services you will need to hire a professional developer.
Thank you!

Hi,
Currently there are 14 post templates to choose from. Can I create a new post template and select it from the post page editor? If yes, can you please show where I can start from.
Thank you for your support.
Hello thanks to answer my questions. I try as you indicate me and the module 15 show below the page builder content as the template layout was made. It is possible that this module show up on top? as main post feeder?
The solution you gave me to use a text box with photo made the idea I want with big header and below the photo but must be made manually and we would like a module that feed automatically as regular module or block.
If there isn’t any solutions it is possible to modify the block 13 on visual composer to move the head on top of the photo instead of below?
Best regards – Fabien
Hi
On indicated demo we use module 15. This module can be used only with loop part so you have to use page-builder+title as a page template: http://screencast.com/t/umQaFZ4kvnv
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
I’m trying to add a custom ad zone for content ads like Taboola above the post title but below the header. So, on the following page it would be above the title of “Kid After. . .” and below the header with the logo. It would span the whole width of the page.
http://vidtd.com/2016/06/18/kid-after-getting-drugged-up-at-dentist/
Is there any way to do that through the theme options to make it easy on me, or do I need to go into the code? If I need to go into the code, how exactly do I do that? I already have a child theme enabled and moved the single post template into it if needed, but wanted to see if there was a way to do it through the theme.
The homepage allows a lot of flexibility through the visual composer, but I can’t find a way to do it across all posts to the overall post template.
Thanks!

Found the answer to the real problem, and it was simple.
I added lines 44 and 46 in that file.
While building the array of shortcodes used to determine which template to use, I added a check for the string vc_, which is the beginning of all VC shortcodes (can’t use VC without first having a row, etc.) in the foreach loop, and only if that string is found does it add the item to the array that is later checked against the post content. This way, the automatic changes based on whether VC is used works as intended, and as clearly stated in the theme’s documentation.
Tested with several shortcodes and so far it’s only catching when an actual VC shortcode is used.
That is normal WordPress behavior.
Hi,
I recently purchased this Newspaper7 theme and installed on WPEngine page. The theme loads fine, but when it is trying to get the default content, it gives the issue of tagDiv Importer error and does not load the default content.
Note: It only happens for default template, other templates work fine. Can you let me know where or what to do to resolve this issue?
Thanks in Advance.
Everything else works as expected.
Problem is, on a fresh WP install with any other theme, the use of ANY shortcode in a page maintains the basic elements of a page template (title, body). Searching for ANY shortcode to decide whether or not VC is being used is a bug. To go by your own documentation:
If VC is used, the page title will not show. I didn’t use VC and the page title didn’t show. You see where I’m going with this?
Whatever conditional is being used to check for a shortcode is not limited to a regex for VC only shortcodes and is tripping on any and every shortcode available. It essentially ruins the shortcode feature of the whole page system in WP. It modifies core behavior in a round about way that doesn’t actually change core code.
I can edit this myself, sure, and I can even keep maintaining it across updates, but that’s just a band aid for the bigger problem. This isn’t a localized issued. Also not a difficult fix… ** correction. It’s not a difficult fix for you because you know the VC methods used and how they cross with NP methods. Looking at the code, it looks like you’re depending on VC’s own internal array of shortcodes and then not filtering through them at all aside from adding the leading bracket to the shortcode names. Literally checking if it’s empty or not and nothing else…
`
if (is_array($td_page_builder_short_codes) && !empty($td_page_builder_short_codes)) {
foreach ($td_page_builder_short_codes as $short_code_name){
// we have to add [ before the shortcode name, else it may target simple words that match with the shortcode name
$short_codes_buffer[] = ‘[‘ . $short_code_name;
}
}
if (!empty($short_codes_buffer) && td_util::strpos_array($post->post_content, $short_codes_buffer) === true) {
$td_use_page_builder = true;
}
`
If it’s not going to be fixed, then the above screenshot shows text that must be changed, because ALL I’m wanting is for the software to do what it says there; if VC is used, no title, if VC is not used, page title. Simple.
Thanks.
Hi
You can chose the module for tag page from theme panel > template settings: http://screencast.com/t/S53nOirZkHJI
Thanks!
Hi Andrei,
Apologies, I had also meant to request your guidance on how to apply the M10 “article display view” layout to the tag template which defaults to M1. We use M10 on our home and category pages. Thank you!
Hi Bryson,
Have you also tested this on a different page template? Please check the pagebuilder + page title, not the default template. the default will only sow title and sidebar if no shortcode is detected. For the default page template you can find the title and sidebars cases here (pagebuilder or no pagebuilder) http://screencast.com/t/RUMOx3jcm
If you want to change this behavior, edit the file and remove the conditions for the pagebuilder.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello saubhagya,
Thanks for getting in touch with us and thanks for the interest in using our themes.
We get often this question regarding the differences between our themes. I can tell you that the both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar.

As a conclusion, if you have some needed skills using the WP theme, please notice that you will have to customize your theme after your desired standards.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The latest articles section is added by the page template you select from the right side of the page edit screen. There are 3 templates to chose from: Default, pagebuilder + latest articles or pagebuilder + page title.
http://screencast.com/t/cPpWcrpG4
Thank you!
Hi
You have to use page-builder+latest in order to use module 15: http://screencast.com/t/Skz9vH99 This module is not used on blocks so only by using the indicated post template can be accused.
Thanks!
Hi
You can use page-builder+latest as page template and filter posts by post type here: http://screencast.com/t/jyLVDnObkt
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi,
I am trying to add the code as specified here: https://youtu.be/Hxkvkr7aIGw?t=52s
but the instructions you’ve posted above aren’t clear enough for me to make the changes. I want to edit this page: http://www.tippingthesaddle.com/formguide/ This particular page is the ‘default template’.
does that mean that I have to edit both the page.php and all of the header-style-x.php files? and if so, where do I add the extra piece of code?
Please help,
Pete
I tried it with all of the page templates before contacting you and none of them made a difference.
I’ll email you now with a log in.
Hello Catalin,
On the demo website, we can see examples of modules 1 to 19 (https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/) but nothing about the MX ones.
What are the looks or design of the Modules MX?
More, it is a little bit difficult to understand exactly what are modules and their multiple uses.
We can use them for category page layouts, for Archive template and in blocks.
I can’t find any documentation to explain all this. A simple information and definition on modules could be useful.
Best,
David
Hello FCEmarketing,
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect your setup page. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can identify you. Also, ensure that you are using the default page template or pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination to achieve best results in this regard. So, if you are using the pagebuilder+page title with the Big Grid, the layout will be broken because the sidebar will bring on your side and the Big Grid not working fine with sidebar.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The category tags can be removed for every module in particular from this section of the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/Ke7qKqng
if you want to remove the tags for a particular block and not all blocks of that type, then you can add a custom css class on the row in visual composer and use css to hide the category tags.
Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/hejLj9Cvv
Then I would use this code to hide the tags for this row only:
.mycustomclass .td-post-category{
display:none!important;
}
As for the tags on category pages, they can be removed by changing the category template style from the per-category settings: http://screencast.com/t/5zTtbSaOU
Thank you!
Hi,

Hello scorp,
I have checked your website and I suspect that you do not properly set the sidebars. So, for pages, if you want to display the sidebars you will have two possibilities -> 1) Using the Visual Composer with this layout (2/3+1/3) like this -> http://screencast.com/t/eDiV5efbhEq (in this case you will have to use the default page template or pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination) -> http://screencast.com/t/oNKE9O2l0S or 2) You can use the pagebuilder+page title template and the sidebar you will have to set from the theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/bRM71kT0Q -> http://screencast.com/t/5J9wz7SlDv9A
For category pages, all the settings about these you can set from Theme panel->Categories, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/dkvo6Cad
For more information about our sidebars, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ Also, this tutorial could be more useful for you because there you will see how you can use the Visual Composer, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
As a notice, for better results, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalin, I am still facing problem on thumbnails. I had installed Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugins. Recreated all old thumbnails (settings>>regenerate option) but still thumbnails not appearing with the post title on home page. Is it because I am using a virtual composer template and the image is in a tab?

Thanks in advance. Have a nice day!
