Hi,
In order to use the Yoast breadcrumbs and remove the theme’s you will first have to enable them from the plugin settings: http://screencast.com/t/qN2p9Ft2
Then you have to replace the code in the core files with the one provided by YOAST: http://kb.yoast.com/article/245-implement-wordpress-seo-breadcrumbs
There are multiple places breadcrumbs are added. You need to do this for every type of page/post/category where breadcrumbs are specified in the code. You need to make the same changes for pages and other templates to. If you want you can use an editor like Notepad++ and search in all files to see where the breadcrumbs are defined for each template and make the changes.
As an example, just for posts, you need to edit every post template you use and replace the code: http://screencast.com/t/ayW3UwAs1
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
I already created a model with a new name and new file name with the code of “pagebuilder + lastest articles” but with this one I have no “homepage lastest articles” settings, juste “page template settings”.
Furthermore I have not managed to create a pagebuilder below and above lastest articles in the same time.
Thank for your help !
Hello,
Unfortunately the theme does not have such an option at this moment. The only method to do it is hard-coding it. CSS is not very hard to figure out. It is better than the alternative which involves altering the PHP files and adding conditionals to td_category_template.php.
You can use css without altering core files and you can have control over it from the theme panel which is a big plus.
You can set the code Catalin gave you to apply to a specific category only. Every category has an custom class set to it. You can get this class by inspecting the category page with your browser inspector: http://screencast.com/t/5uS8nYlTc6u
For example mine is category 66. So i would add this to the beginning of the code like so:
.category-66 .td-category-header.td-image-gradient-style8 {
background-image: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b5/Winnersh_Meadows_Trees.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Now the code will only apply to that specific category. So if you need to use the code for another category you can simply copy and paste it and change the category number and the image.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
If you want to keep the default template and create a custom one, you can create your own page template in the root of the theme and copy the code from page.php(as an example) and just add this comment instead – http://screencast.com/t/UdDaIQhr The theme pulls the name from the comment on the top of the file.
It should appear on template options as an extra page template – http://screencast.com/t/cONiVSlbjH7 Then you can add your custom modification to the new template and still have the default templates present.
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank You if works 🙂
But If I change the name of the file (i’am using a child theme) and the name of the template I loose the “homepage lastest articles” box. Any idea ?
I would like to keep both templates.
Any way to have two visual composer (one above and another below lastest articles list) ?
Hi shadyns,
For solve your problem, you should use as template Pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination when you edit your homepage, like this: http://screencast.com/t/dnSmseHGB7Un .
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes it is possible if you modify pagebuilder with latest articles template like this – http://screencast.com/t/jE05i70Cnpr9
Thanks!
Hi,
Is it possible to make a template like that ? And with pagebuilder above and below lastest articles ?
Hi,
what you see is a restore of a month ago.
It seems to work correctly but after a while white page comes out !
At this point the question seems related to the template (newsp 4). It is a random situation accurring when the page attempts to get data from somewhere external and and get not data instead.
Please have a look. It may happens all of a sudden.
Thank you
Hi @teodormiu
Thank you for your kind words!
1. Try this guide and regenerate the thumbnails for all your images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/ clear all caches and test again. If the image is large enough it should be displayed fine in thumbs.
2. If a post doesn’t have a featured image set the theme load a placeholder image when this option from theme panel is enabled: http://screencast.com/t/qXc9ADVOzKOf To set a custom image you need to add an image in /images/no-thumb directory: http://screencast.com/t/VBrS8hN53 then replace in get_image() function the name of the image like here: http://screencast.com/t/CYZRDHlJs
3. In order to identify the ideal/average size you need to figure out which is the largest container that will display that particular image and upload an image bigger than that container. Then there is the post template to consider. If you use post templates with big image backgrounds (style 6, 7 or 8), then your uploaded image has to be bigger (especially on style 8). You need to asses your website’s layout (posts and block elements) and come up with an average image size that will work on smaller containers but also keep good quality on bigger ones.
You can read more about thumbs and featured images here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
The image number is for the image i set. I showed you above how to use a single image element in visual composer. Just create a blank page, add a single image element, select your image, apply some settings/styling to it, then enter classic mode and text mode(not visual) and you will see the code for your image.
You can use the same method on posts. The posts have 2 files that correspond for one template. There is the single.php files and the loop-single.php. For this you have to edit the loop files. http://screencast.com/t/Dq6GqnpUBQ3O
Thanks.
Hi
Yes, I’m using an old version of Newspaper (3.5)
I have 2 problems and because updating will be painful for us, I wanted to ask 1st, before taking this rough path.
1. When loading the theme’s customize page in the Admin section, The right pannel is blank and there’s an error mentioning td_get_template_directory_uri()
I searched and I think this issue will be solved by updating, but maybe there’s something else I can do to get rid of it ?
2. On the home page, We have this big slider set up. Couple of weeks ago, the picture inside the slider started to appear as “cropped”. What I mean is that the image is now bigger than de div it’s included in….
So it seems to us the image is zoomed in, considering that the borders are not displayed.
Any help / experience / hugs are welcome.
Thanks
Sorcy
Hi,
If you want the first thing on the page to be the image, then you need to add your code in the category template files: http://screencast.com/t/Jhqe3L6t
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="223" img_size="full" css=".vc_custom_1447858280464{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
I just added a few more option to the image in visual composer like full size and padding.
Place it like so: http://screencast.com/t/gH5GgPEb
Just be advised that this will generate the same image on every category that uses this template.
result: http://screencast.com/t/jNBgRk8D
Thanks

Hi Andrei,
Thank you for your response.
I am actually trying to change the title header background in the Latest Articles section, which is currently named ‘Latest Articles’. The default colour is set to #000000 and I cannot change this in the theme panel.
How do I make changes to the template itself in the page attributes? That is the only change I would like to make.
Following from this; thank you for the ad placement. I am actually trying to place the ad above the footer as the final element of the page. I want to place an ad box at the bottom of the page but the Latest Articles section won’t allow me to post anything underneath.
Many thanks,
Dan
Hi,
Which font is used by the standard text logo of the Newspaper template? See http://www.carlienroodink.nl as well, at the top of the page.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Hello,
I’m using the ‘Homepage latest articles’ template and having difficulties changing this.
1) I would like to change the background of the header – it remains #000000
2) I would like to place a footer ad but the latest articles does not allow any other widgets/boxes in the Vis composer. How do I get around this? Is it easier for me to replicate the latest articles myself rather than using the template?
Many thanks!
Hi there I would like to use category colors to improve navigation and structure.
I have set category colors for pretty much all main categories and their color appears correctly when I use style 3 for the categories.
However on blocks they are not used currently. For example for widgets I used block 7 and 18. Also on the category page itself the top grid does NOT color the mouse over correctly. Instead it shows the template highlight. Somehow on the frontpage blocks the colors are interactive. For example the block with How To has red effects on mouse over and hyperlinks.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
I cannot suggest you to use a page instead of a category and also it is not good to have duplication on your site(the same name even it is category, page or post). The theme doesn’t have such an option to use Visual Composer for category template, so if you want to use a custom page(like you have now) you will need to use a redirect plugin.
Thanks!
hello,
1) You can use the plugin shortcode to insert them manually in the post template you wish. Simply place the below code in the file that corresponds to the template you use. The default is loop_single, post template 1 is loop_single 1…etc: http://screencast.com/t/JUIC0QBt3s
<?php echo do_shortcode('[fbcomments]'); ?>
2) This issue is known and is on our list of fixes. Two playlist elements do not work on the same page.
Thank you!
Hi
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have a template to create a contributors page, sorry. However you can use the authors box block to display only the contributors on a specific page by using the id filter: http://screencast.com/t/QBZ9jqpFPi4J
To get the user id please follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/83G22khuD So you can add an authors box on a page, select only contributors ids in indicated field and you will have only the contributors displayed on that page.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi,
I would like to include on my webmagazine a “contributor” page for all the people who write articles to my site.
Basically I would want something like this page: http://greatist.com/contributors
Is there a page template that comes with the Newspaper theme? Or any tips on how I could do this?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi
Try this css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/6u3Ycpo3O
.page-template-page-pagebuilder-title-php .td-page-title {
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 0!important;
font-size: 35px;
}
.page-template-page-pagebuilder-title-php .td-page-content{
margin-top: 0;
}
3. I am not sure what you mean as the page title have h1 tags. If you want to increase the font size for it just modify the value from the above css.
Let me know how it goes and provide more details if you need a different approach on this.
Thanks!
Hello,
In order to get breadcrumbs on pages you need to chose a different page template.
The page template called pagebuilder + pagetitle is the one containing breadcrumbs: http://screencast.com/t/vtSD4GP1sAhX

Hello Guys,
I love the NewsPaper theme.
Today I created a great homepage for my blog.
This is a screenshot

but all the articles are so small (small image preview). Before setting this homepage I had the classic post view where posts are bigger. This is a screenshot.

How can I make the posts bigger?
I was using the M4 template now I use the block 4 template but it seems small than the M4 template.
Another thing the title of my page is Home | PcExpert but I only want PcExpert. Is it possible to change it? I’m using the Yoast SEO plugin
