Hi
The link you provided is not valid: http://screencast.com/t/DMFGFuqXX
You can remove the Latest article section from a page by using a different page template then Page builder + latest in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/wTtwNEHwSe
The widgets displayed in sidebar should appear in the order they were placed there. Please make sure that you added the widget properly, also make sure that you selected the right ad spot: http://screencast.com/t/z8PoOcAc6au
Let me know ho it goes and if you still have this issue please provide a link or an screen pointing the way you added the ad box in sidebar so I can duplicate the situation on my side.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I’ve installed the video demo and started to add my content. Now I need to have a working contact page. How do I do that? I’ve look in theme panel, in widgets and page template and in the documentation but nothing!?!
I would like to have a contact page like the one in the default demo.
Thank you
Hello Rita,
1) You can remove the latest article section by choosing a page template that does not contain it: http://screencast.com/t/7RBjwayatPo Only one of three page templates contains latest articles.
2) In the category filter you have to enter the id’s you want to display or you can enter an id wit a - to exclude it. http://screencast.com/t/ZegSedP0AiZw
You can read more about block settings here:https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi there,
I LOVE Newspaper! I just used the theme to upgrade my WP site and here are a few challenges I’m having:
1. The Page Template Setting: At the bottom of my homepage is a pre-defined template called Home Page Latest Articles. I would really like to delete this entire section because it’s a duplication of the content in the upper part of the page. But if I can’t delete it, I’d like to figure out how to change the content. Right now my site is in maintenance mode, but I can send you the login if you need it.
2. Just want to make sure I understand about “filtering” a category. If I set a block and I want it to show just one category, do I have to type all the other categories in so they wonât show up? Or do I type in the one category that I DO want to show up?
Thanks for your help. I’ve purchased many, many themes on Themeforest but this one is the best by far!
Hi,
I have tested this at my end and it’s supported. You have to copy the file to your child theme and rename it (you can add a letter or number after the title) and then rename the title inside the file (the commented one): http://screencast.com/t/fQ4ZSiWr4
If you did this correctly, a new page template with the new name should appear: http://screencast.com/t/0alFFaTl8n
Now you can modify it at will.
Thanks
Hello Fabrizio,
1) You can re-position your review widget but still limited. You can have it at the top or bottom of the post. Not inside the content. To place it at the top you have to modify the core files for the post template you use: http://screencast.com/t/IYVp00MUSj this is for loop-single.php which is used by the default post template. Template 1 uses loop-single 1, and template 2 uses loop single 2 etc.
As far as the blocks are, you can activate visual composer on pages but the feature is not tested and could have weird results. You can still try it out though: http://screencast.com/t/nTIcnKbhb6
2)You can add a text block element and place an image inside it and set it to aling left:http://screencast.com/t/QOpKs8qEbn
You can edit your text block as you would a post.
the result: http://screencast.com/t/iicNvxeJVAB
Thank you!
Hello,
I tried changing this CSS from the original CSS:
.td-post-template-1 .td-post-header .entry-title {
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 30px;
}
to this:
.td-post-template-1 .td-post-header .entry-title {
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 22px;
}
and pasted into Advanced CSS field for PHONES 0 – 767px, but the change is not taking effect.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for the great support.
Hi SurreyScoop,
I have checked your page and the images are opening in the same page, not in a new window.
If you want to open image in lightbox, please note that this feature is available only for posts pages and you use there a page template.
Thanks!
Make sure you check all your disqus settings on the settings panel on your site; as Disqus *does* write to the comment count field when synced; however it doesn’t seem to work on the author page so you might need to comment that out on the author template.
Been using Disqus with Newspaper for 2 years now, so it *does* work — just need to make sure the settings are correct. Often doing a couple of “sync” operations and letting that “catch up” will work.
It’s not instant. đ
Hi guys!
I know that this is something that some people have asked before. I want to add comments on some pages (which I’ve used Visual Composer) and have done this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/enable-comments-in-pages-w-page-builder/#post-59342 copying and pasting the code:
<?php
if($td_enable_or_disable_page_comments == ‘show_comments’) {
comments_template(”, true);
}?>
but it still doesn’t working.
Any ideas? Thanks for advance!

Hello,
I’ve looked through the Theme Settings under “CPT & Taxonomy” and I cannot find an area to choose a default sidebar on the ‘single’ template for each custom post type I have. I can only choose a default sidebar that affects the taxonomy pages.
I’ve already checked this page for advice: https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I have found that, for some reason, using post template style 6 is killing all other images on the same page. For example, see http://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/downsizing-your-car-things-to-consider/
If I use any other featured image style, everything displays correctly (images in sidebar, related posts, more post pop-up, etc.). However, if I choose style 6, all of these other images disappear.
Can anyone offer any advice? I assume that there is a conflict somewhere, but not sure why it only affects that particular template.
Many thanks,
stuart
Hi,
I do not know what happened:
I am using Yoast SEO plugin.
As you can see the Google is indexing word “Close” in the Title of the articles / Pages etc.
My site URL: http://www.thecampingschool.com/
Posts
Title template:
I m using this Template in Yoast Plugin: %%title%% %%page%% : @The Camping School
Which does not have “Close” word anywhere.
Let me know.
Hi,
Do you have only the Big Grid block on your page and you use a page template with latest articles?
A solution is to use the offset feature, for example you have Big Grid set to filter posts from all categories – http://screencast.com/t/1rEcBxdbJf just set the offset option for Latest Articles to 5 so it will display the 6’th post – http://screencast.com/t/jDXSgE8jF
Also you can filter by different categories(or tags) on your blocks – http://screencast.com/t/FRgOuWrCGoR – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ or you can use unique article feature(it is from old docs but works the same) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/unique-articles-and-offset-newspaper/ Please not that the unique articles feature was not designed to work with block pagination.
Thanks!
Hi,
@FrozenGod Do you use Wigetised Sidebar block for your homepage, but it doesn’t change it? – http://screencast.com/t/W5xkPKmRjp
Also for post pages, if you use a custom sidebar for category template, the post will inherit that sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/koUf5vkxK
Please check this like Christopher suggested, without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Hello,
I am using plenty of custom made templates for CPTs and I would like to hook on the theme’s modal window for images. Currently I have it enables for all post images and they work fine, however all image links at CPT templates open at new browser window.
Additionally, any external images in posts still open in new browser windows.
Is there a way to fix these 2 issues?
thanks
Lots of things easy to edit for many folks; but some things – as with all themes – require custom CSS to over-ride “styles” when changing the defaults.
For the sidebar; typically you would create a NEW sidebar, such as ‘categories’ or ‘homeside’ and then drag widgets to each custom sidebar, then select that custom sidebar and its bank of widgets for the template you want to use.
meaning, you can’t choose widgets per template; you can select a sidebar per template, and each sidebar can have any mix of widgets.
See the docs for how to build a new sidebar from the template edit page; then when you go to the wp admin > appearance > widgets — you would see new sidebar, and be able to customize widgets for THAT new sidebar. Then on home page layout, or categories vs posts, you could choose the new custom sidebar in place of default.
Hope that helped. TagDiv support back Monday, but thought I’d chime in if you were to the hair pulling phase yet đ
Hello,
I’ve tried everything I could but this just doesn’t work on my side.
I’m trying to have different sidebars on the Homepage and the Single Post view but they’re both using ht esame template options in the Theme Panel.
I’ve also tried to change the sidebar option on my Home page (I’m using a custom home with Visual Composer).
Still it always uses the same Default Widget for all the site areas, so I think after 20+ hours of headache It’s time now to ask for help.
P.S: I think I also found a bug with the “News Ticker Title” – was trying to change the font size for the Ticker Title here:
Blocks/Widgets Title
News Ticker
News Ticker title
So eventually I had to Firebug and write my own custom CSS for it.
I’m really dissapointed that things are not going smooth at all with this theme, seems like lots of things are bugged or at least “Not so easy to edit”.
Thanks.
Hi Thierry,
When you edit your page in visual composer, make sure you select one of the 2 page templates (pagebuilder + ) other than the default. If default is set, the page title and sidebar will not display.

Thank you!
1. With regard to Author
Thank you so much. That helped.
But the homepage posts also showing author name.
http://www.screencast.com/t/qpW2xUISz
Author name should be hidden in home feed along with that hyphen.
2. With regard to Author box – Author Profile Page
It is hidden in posts page as expected. But when the author name is clicked.. the theme author box is still displayed. I would like to replace like below screenshots.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-author-box/screenshots/
I am advised following by plugin for manual insert but unable to find which php page to insert:
If you want to manually insert the Simple Author Box in your template file (single post view), you can use the following code snippet:
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘wpsabox_author_box’ ) ) echo wpsabox_author_box(); ?>
Please could you help where i need to insert this code.
If you want to manually insert the Simple Author Box in your template file (single post view), you can use the following code snippet:
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘wpsabox_author_box’ ) ) echo wpsabox_author_box(); ?>
Please could you help on page location, name and which line I need to insert this.
Hope it will not impact other configs.

Same problem in all pages, Ok in search and others sections
Was reading in another thread about using fb comments plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook-comments-plugin/
but I’d like to move the location of where the fb comments appear to directly below the article. The plugin allows for the shortcode [fbcomments]
You can also insert the comment box as a shortcode into any post, page or template and use your own settings for each time you do it! Simply use the shortcode [fbcomments]
however when I try to add it to loop-single-5.php for example, it just prints the words [fbcomments] where I want the comments to appear. Do I need to add it to single_template_1.php?
http://screencast.com/t/9uoWD9tIXeP
Is there a better way to directly add fb comments to newspaper? If I generate the code on https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments#configurator it gives me the facebook sdk to add to “ideally right after the opening <body> tag.” and then add
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/" data-width="100%" data-numposts="5"></div>
Thanks!
Well, thank you for writing such a good update script!
I made a duplicate site since it was going to be so hard to rebuild the site with a new theme. Then having built the copy of the site and imported the old database, I thought, why not give the updtae script a go.
The bad thing was that when I imported the database to the duplicate siteI did not change the site url. Dumb mistake. So when I told the update script to make its changes I was in fact on the live site not the duplicate.
The good news was that the script worked. Well done.
I had to open each page and change the template, I had to put widgets back in a few sidebars. In 10 minutes I had the site working again.
Thanks so much.
So for anyone else:
The update script works for update from version 3.8 to 6.
My site only had about 10 pages
Posts on my site all looked much the same.
I had some custom css for integrating plugins to the theme.
In other words my site was not doing anything dramatic or different.
Pages need their template choices checked/redone.
Widgets in sidebars need to be reset, 3rd party plugins will be missing.
Custom css needs to be copied over as well I guess.
Cheers
