Hello,
Create a new page in Dashboard -> Pages, press the publish button, and view. Edit it with the TagDiv Composer: https://prnt.sc/gGw1zq0zdf3r and start customizing it as you like to add text, image using the elements from tagdiv Composer. You can import from the Cloud Library sections, blocks, etc. already designed.
There is not need to have the pages in cloud templates, because you can see the pages in the section for pages.
Thank you!
I used blank template for post, category, search, author and remove breadcrumb. But there is no blank template for page in cloud templates. So, how can I Remove breadcrumb in page?
Hello,
You can translate them from Theme Panel -> Translations -> Translations -> https://i.imgur.com/ezhjmLq.png and the title of the blocks or other elements you need to edit the pages/templates with tagDiv Composer to change the translation.
Thank you!
Hello there,
I tried all 3 version and none of it worked. Not even the AMP. I tried the mobile version provided by the template and built from scratch a page which is not showing on any mobile device. I talking about “Edit with tagdiv composer” -> “edit mobile page”.
I tried using the Mobile Editor from “Edit Page” as well and the information there is still not showing on the mobile homepage.
And I also tried the AMP. I tried all 3 options provided by AMP. I tried all 3 options provided by Theme Panel -> Mobile. I tried Mobile, Mobile + AMP and just AMP.
None of these worked. Whatever I do, it still shows the blank homepage with “Latest Articles”. I turned off the articles option from Theme Panel too.
The thing is, I already used all the plugins provided by Newspaper theme.
Hello Kent!
We recommend to use cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer which contains a lot of functions and features, please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/

Hello!
We have 3 options available for mobile versions that you can use:
1. Responsive version: A responsive version of your website looks similar to the desktop version. TagDiv Composer is used to edit the page. Click on the mobile viewport: https://www.screencast.com/t/XDQJedlggSB. There, you can see your mobile version and edit or adjust the elements to look better.
2. Mobile pages: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-10-3-7-update-brings-customizable-and-fast-mobile-pages
3. Mobile theme plugin: The Mobile Theme is a performance-optimized theme included in the main Newspaper theme that only loads on mobile devices. It comes with its own templates and designs for pages, posts, categories, etc., so your current templates from the desktop theme will get converted to the mobile theme layout. Please see https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/ for more information.
A full explanation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpGkOnJeNZY
If you need to use mobile version 1 or 2, then you need to uninstall the Mobile Theme plugin and AMP.
From my point of view, if you don’t use the Mobile Theme plugin, then there is no reason or benefit to AMP. Unfortunately, AMP is not working with the cloud templates because the AMP’s layout is not fully customized.
The AMP version works best with default templates and not cloud templates. That’s why we integrated it with the Mobile theme plugin.
The feedback from our clients about AMP was negative and it is not used anymore, that’s why we didn’t add more customization options. We no longer recommend using AMP because it is deprecated https://developer.bigcommerce.com/docs/storefront/wordpress/platform-integration/enabling-amp
This is a known issue and the opt-in builder is fully updated.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have the website https://www.putereaapatra.ro/. I use Newspaper template.
I encounter these errors on my website I cannot solve without your help.
1. Plugin Update not working.
I get the following message when trying to update tagDiv Opt-In Builder. I tried updating it at least 5 times.
There is a new version of tagDiv Opt-In Builder available. View version 1.6.1 details or update now.
2. The homepage I see when I am logged in vs the homepage there is when I am logged out on my PC are not the same version. The one I see when I am logged in it is perfect. The one I see when I am logged out has bugs, items not showing etc.
3. The footer of the mobile page does not show properly on mobile devices. There should be the same type of footer for both PC and mobile but it is not.
Hello everyone!
I have the website https://www.stiripebune.news/
Here, on this website I use the Newspaper template. I cannot update tagDiv Opt-In Builder. I mean, I update it, then instantly get a message to update it.
Here is the message: “There is a new version of tagDiv Opt-In Builder available. View version 1.6.1 details or update now.”
Then, I have a problem with the mobile version. On the top left, I see Town Talk logo, not my logo. Even though I already uploaded and selected MY logo. I also see a symbol on top right that should not be there. And if you click it, it redirects you to a 404 page.
Hi, i want to be able to have an article on a page for example on a page or post page, or on a category. In wordpress you can do a read more tag where you can see part of the article and then press more to see the rest. is there anything like this on the template to use as the tag is not working with the theme
Hi,
To have the button edit with tagDiv Composer, you need to have a single post template -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
Thank you!
Hello!
You need to assign a cloud template in order to edit it with the tagdiv composer.
Set it as global from Cloud Templates.
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:

Thank you!
Anamaria,
Here is what I have accomplished with your advice to date.
First off I was creating my mobile pages in tag div composer so I went into WordPress Plugins and disabled the tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin. Now when I check my site, getawayopia.com on my phone I now get the desktop version.
In the image attached you can see that I have created a mobile theme that is showing up in the attached image. Yet when I go back to my mobile it will only show the desktop version.
Sorry to sound so stupid but what am I missing?
Thanks,
David Best
Added a new header and footer design to the website, and the content from TagDiv pages content area no longer appears. This did not occur when I tested in our dev environment. Using Newspaper 12.6.6.
When editing page, message states “This type of header is not editable with tagDiv Composer. Please use a cloud header template!”
Hello!
Scroll up and here you will find the settings: https://app.screencast.com/GgyByHhTWsqxT
Please note that you should edit a single post template with the tagdiv Composer: https://app.screencast.com/tWoV94HkfUJGR
If you edit a homepage, then you have this setting as well on a flex block shortcode: https://app.screencast.com/chYIC063KcvDZ
Thank you!
Hello!
No. You should use cloud templates. In No preloading option, the theme will make an Ajax request on each click on a filter. After the request is made, the theme is using a browser cache to store the result and not make an additional request for the same resource until the page is reloaded.
Thank you!
Thank you simchris.

HIGH:complained about server response time and suggested to opt for WP-Rocket.
MED: reduce DOM elements.
This is what I did:
Turned off lazy load
Reduce DOM elements by making the homepage shorter
Turned on Litespeed Cache.
The speed difference is not so big.
Sure the Lazy Load turned off looks much better but the page still loads very slow.
Typical for this Free News template.
The classic Newspaper template loads very fast on my server.
Such a shame.
I love the Free News design. Unfortunately the template is unusable for me.
It loads so very slow. Much slower than other Newspaper templates. Also the delayed loading of the image is annoying.

Hello,
You have a cloud template, so please check if you have set it global -> https://i.imgur.com/nkvi0hS.png -> https://i.imgur.com/LasaPyy.png Do you have created a mobile page?
Thank you!
Hi there,
Can i copy block settings, so i copy/paste it on another page? Or save it somehow as template to re-use?
Fine, thanks. Yes, I solved it. I hadn’t been able to respond before.
There are times that the home page and the single page are misconfigured and sometimes the mobile version of the template itself appears and other times it is the mobile template.
What is the cause of that?
Sometimes it is as if there is no homepage or entry template and other times it is fine, just as it is in the mobile template.
It’s the only thing that makes it not completely well done.
Hello,
Please provide more details about your issue with the cart page.
You can import from cloud template the checkout/cart and my account pages to customize them.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can have different ads in every post/article if you use a different template for each post/article. If you want the same design, you can duplicate the templates.
Check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/different-logo-in-categorypage/; The same steps are to duplicate any template.
Thank you!
