When I delete all the files and re-install the plugin and template, you start, the site is displayed as soon as I enable the visual composer it goes blank page.
I created a space dedicated to testing, but does not solve the problem without other clean install wordpress plugin with only necessary for the subject and I have the same problem can you help?
Hi,
If you use a template with bg the Big Slider is added automatically on the page and these are options from the backend – http://screencast.com/t/BVzwyKy8wV so it shows the featured articles. If you want to modify this you need to edit page-homepage-slider.php and change the sort order and specify a category(if you want to show articles from a specific category) please check this topic as reference – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/exclude-posts-from-big-slide-homepage-bg-no-article/
Or you can change the page template and add Big Slider from Visual Composer elements, so you will be able to change setting for Big Slider from backend – http://screencast.com/t/Kjb5Z6sshJ
Thanks!

Hello!
I want to change the setting of the big slider on the homepage: show only the main news in the slider. But I can’t find the change settings of the big slider in the template “Homepage + bg – article list”. I see only block without big slide setting. Please, help me.

King regards,

Hi,
You can use module 15 to display post with full content for your categories pages – http://screencast.com/t/57e1L13Nu also you can set this module for different templates like tag, archive – http://screencast.com/t/WCRgK1JOM6
Thanks!
Hi,
WordPress automatically creates archives “by month” “by day” and “by year” for all your articles – http://screencast.com/t/2VPCr5ic and you can change the module to display your articles from Theme Panel > Template Settings – http://screencast.com/t/gzN4LhQDAjeB
Or if you want to do this using Visual Composer, you can create a new page and use page builder to set the elements you want on that custom archive page.
Thanks!
Well… nothing suddenly “happens” on its own.
Good idea to
a) check to see if something got updated
b) check to see if something being inserted in page from plugin is breaking pages (try turning off plugins to see if something doing that)
c) try rolling back to last version if you updated something — again, the theme cannot magically break by itself
d) did you try checking a post with console (F12 in Chrome) for errors?
Are you using a custom template?
Since the html is only loading logo on IE, and nothing on Chrome, it looks like something is “bad” right at start of page loading.
This can be malformed custom CSS, malformed custom JS, inserted in head; it can be a bad bit of something inserted into head by a plugin, etc.
No idea beyond the above items.
TagDiv folk likely will have better answer, but basically the only way for something to “suddenly” stop working (as per past posts on your site issues), is for you to have changed something, or a plugin to suddenly have changed something. This is why “auto updates” are also a bad idea in case something doesn’t work with something else.
You might also try clearing your site cache if using plugin, or turn that off, if it got corrupted or isn’t house cleaning properly.
Hi,
Managed to solve the latest posts under 1 page part. Had to make a new page and change the template to homepagwe with articles.
Please help with the RSS.
thanks
You can add it at bottom of your single-loop.php template, or bottom of the post template you’re using.
For example I use loop-single-2.php for my default post template, along with single_template_2.php …
I moved the categories to right above my tags with a line break as they conflicted with Google News scraping the headline, but I did want them on the page.
SO, you could easily insert a shortcode your your HTML in that spot, such as here:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
[ your custom code ]
</footer>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->related_posts();?>
[ your custom code ]
For basic minification of the CSS and possibly main js files, see my optimization guide.
Be aware that there is really no 100% way to fully optimize loading the above the fold content with any commercial theme like this one — this is because there are many options and functions being loaded in order to render the page at all, and to provide folks to create totally different designs.
Many articles have been written online about getting a perfect score with PageSpeed and WordPress and that requires custom building a theme from scratch and setting up regions where CSS and js are loaded conditionally and in series based on the content sections. Very complex and outside the scope of commercial themes.
Limiting things like mega menus can help, making sure any external resources load via async (we used to use addthis for social buttons on our sites and had to ‘hack’ that to add async loading of their js, because they were too stupid to do it with one line of code in their WP plugin).
Often to get the best “real world” score for your site, you need to disable any/all things which load externally (ads, etc.) and then test that. Optimize. Then switch on external things, optimize “if possible” and then realize the “real score” doesn’t count the Google ads stuff.
You can’t control caching of external elements (time to live), or minification of external resources. With Google fonts you can load the CSS locally in your own style sheet, then simply “draw” the fonts from their CDN. Now that “Roboto” is open source, one could in theory even load that font off your own server and bypass Google entirely. Or just use “web safe” fonts, to eliminate any external font loading.
For the above the fold render blocking blah blah. If your mobile score is above 85 you’re fine; if your desktop is above 90 you’re fine. But there is a notable “tuning” process to this, and again — it’s almost impossible to eliminate the “render blocking” or “above the fold stuff” entirely with *any* commercial theme.
Not sure any of that helps… just some feedback on my own suffering using commercial WordPress themes, and also building my own bootstrap 2 templates which are running our main business portal (using .shtml and custom page builder CMS; not WP).
Hi,
We understand, thanks for your suggestion I’ll add it on our request list and consider it when we decide to improve theme’s ads system. Until then you can edit and add the ads directly into those pages templates using ad box shortcodes.
Please let me now if you want more info on how to do this, you can find more info and a similar implementation in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/custom-ads-2/
Thanks
Hello,
I noticed the ads in the end of the post works really well.
Then I thought it would be great to easily add Ads in the end of Search Pages, Archive Pages, Tag Pages… (Theme Panel > Template Settings).
For now we can only select sidebar position and the name of the sidebar. But I would love to have the add after the results…
Hope you can understand what I mean. đ
Kind regards,
Barbara
Hi. I’ve done a post with a Video, using the template style 3 (large ‘image’ on top), selected format = video and featured video url…and the video appears embedded at the top, large which is great BUT the page title, category and date etc. are appearing right over the video controls. How do I move them above or below the video?
And is there anyway of making the embedded video appear further down in the post at all…or will it always automatically be right at the top?
Thanks.
Hi,
You can change the page template to “Pagebuilder with title” so you will have a h1 title or you can use a text block element anywhere on the page and add the h1 tag via page builder.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and there you have page title there – http://screencast.com/t/1caJqX8jT Please remove custom modifications if you have added to the blank page template file.
Thanks!

Hi,
The theme doesn’t control og data, so you have to use a plugin for this like Seo by Yoast and check your page source if your meta data are added properly. Also this error is not related to Visual Composer plugin. I have checked some of your articles and you don’t get that error for all, some of them(that I checked) can be shared fine – http://screencast.com/t/V2GN9KNqGfa – http://screencast.com/t/lJEJXe9SP
Not sure why you get this error for some of your articles, I think that this is a facebook issue – it seems that either your site, or your host, or where your image paths are were maybe blacklisted – please check this as reference – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24636903/what-does-failed-to-get-composer-template-data-mean-in-facebook-lint
Thanks!
Hi,
a)i tried all things your listed options, except “you have to set a featured video”, nothing works.
I dont understand what is meant by “set a featured video”.
Do we have to set every single video imported to the site, to featured image? but this doesn’t make sense.
We use a video robot and it imports different videos from youtube etc.
The index page shows these different videos and they change hourly. In the hundreds.
But still after clicking on them it opens the page but there is no video.
I didn’t set up a single post page. We just installed the theme and child theme as in documentation,
and loaded the settings and demos. http://www.yougothype.com is our page. i hope this is the link you want.
Please help.
b)Infinite Load doesn’t seem to work on any page.
Again we followed the email steps you sent but they didn’t work.
Our settings:
In Visual Composer for Main Page/Index page:
Parent – Homepage Infinite Scroll
Template- Homepage Blank
Used Block 8
-multiple category filter(hollywood, rides, luxury)
-Random Posts
Limit Post Number-5 (this is set automatically)
Pagination – infinite load is set
(load more was also tried. this shows on page. but when clicked its shows load circle but nothing more is added or changed. so this doesn’t work either. FYI.)
But please help with the Infinite Load.
Without these the site is useless đ
best regards,
Bora
Hi,
Glad you’ve managed to get it done.
1. Regarding that block on authors template it can’t be done using the page builder as the author template isn’t customizable however you could try to create your block using the VC page builder then use the do_shortcode function to place block’s shortcode to the template here: http://screencast.com/t/uuJFRN3aWNvQ
Should get a result similar to this: http://screencast.com/t/TUGrkBES9rF
2. On author template the post’s section is given by the loop.php template and for the it can’t be set other pagination other than the numbered one so the infinite/load more pagination can’t be used there, just on blocks. Here is the pagination called on author template on each sidebar case: http://screencast.com/t/KKsV9rFB4 – http://screencast.com/t/SmJ0BQrns
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure that you have set a featured video – http://screencast.com/t/PM1nKIRJlXZu and choose the post template(maybe you use style 5 this will not show featured image/video on post page) – http://screencast.com/t/Q8zlCbKGM3ud
Also take a look in Theme Panel for these options – http://screencast.com/t/F5fpzk4B8Q and provide a link so we can take a look.
Thanks!
Hi,
The infinite load pagination ca be used on blocks, so the only way is to use a block to display you latest articles and set pagination to “infinite load” and use a page template without article list – http://screencast.com/t/sWZlCICKR8Sk – http://screencast.com/t/njigS8SZ
If you use a page template with articles list only “normal” pagination is available.
Thanks!
Hello Lucian! Thanks for such a quick reply. I must have been blind, missed the author’s template. Template is almost perfect. Sorry if it is a hassle for you but could you give me a little hint how to link my to the current author’s page? Do you use get_the_author function?
This is my current modified Logout section. Just need making one of the icons linking to the author’s page. Right now both of the icons linking to the pages made by me.
//<span class="td-sp-ico-logout"></span> echo '<ul class="top-header-menu td_ul_logout"> <li class="menu-item">' .'' . '<li class="menu-item">' . '
And regarding my second question. I’m not gonna be using side panel in my little project, so no worries. However, I have made a little video so you can see what it was all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3kNb7HF-z4&feature=youtu.be
Thank you for your help and support.
Go to the page-builder and click on the pencil icon or edit icon and try to find the custom title text field. Insert your title in it and if you want you can also add a custom link to it. Save the template and save the page.
Hi,
You can use do_shortcode() function in page template that you use to display a slider or a block there. Add a block using page builder and set articles to display(category, sort..) – http://screencast.com/t/IU2p24MReul change to Classic mode and take the shortcode – http://screencast.com/t/yHgk8eeDqtTf and use it bellow pagination – http://screencast.com/t/YNvQQxdrB5 – http://screencast.com/t/IGVuezEe
echo do_shortcode('your shortcode');
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check you custom css and remove this – http://screencast.com/t/DiOGJkIlB as you can see your posts titles are hidden – http://screencast.com/t/cOlmlN8tk So please remove that css code and see how it goes.
If you don’t want to show page title please use a page template without title – https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates/
Thanks!
Hi – Trying to figure out if there is any configuration where we can use the Big Slide across 2/3 of a 3 column layout? We’ve tried just about everything, various mixes of template settings, page attributes and Visual Composer elements. Screen capture of builder area here. Simply looking for Big Slide at top, 2 columns of content under and sidebar along the right column. Tried both actual sidebar layout and full layout with “Widgetized” Sidebar content element. Right now, area just remains blank and pushes any other content down. If we add a background color to the content block, the color shows, but no Big Slide.
Thanks so much for your time, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi, I once dit it this way in the child theme:
//functions.php
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_change_metabox' );
function my_change_metabox ()
{
if (is_admin()) {
$my_td_metabox_theme_settings = new WPAlchemy_MetaBox(array(
'id' => 'td_post_theme_settings',
'title' => 'Post settings',
'types' => array('post','page','cpt'),
'priority' => 'high',
'template' => get_template_directory() . '/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/content-metaboxes/td_set_post_settings.php',
));
}
}
