Hi,
Yes, you can create and use a page template, just take a look how our templates are designed – http://screencast.com/t/aeCzsqKqtSJ and create your own template(and paste it in the root of the theme) or modify theme’s page templates how you need.
Thanks!
I want to create a child theme which will allow the NewsMag Product Ratings to be entered in wp-admin on a points scale of 0 to 20 but displayed on the post page as a star rating between 0 and 5. The reason for this is that I want to be able to export the ratings data to another application which supports ratings on a scale of 0 to 20. I can’t see any easy way of doing this. td_set_reviews.php can’t be modified from a child theme because it is used from within td_templates_settings.php which is included from functions.php using require_once. So effectively the ratings functionality is not pluggable.
Is there any way around this?
Hello,
is it possible to use a custom page template in Newspaper? I would like to add a couple of custom WordPress loops on one of our pages. I’ve had a look in the documentation and searched the forum but can’t find anything.
Thanks,

Hi,
If I understand well you want to show that custom sidebar Quiz that contain block 3 (filtered by category Quiz) on your articles. But I’m not sure why didn’t you select it in Posts template – http://screencast.com/t/aV7FOIrw
Please note that if you have another custom sidebar for your category page – http://screencast.com/t/MgJw6vZDv
Thanks!
Hi,
We could not include the official demo in the theme because we wanted to keep the theme as small as possible. We included a smaller demo which comes with the page templates and some posts/widgets which should provide good start.
If you also need the xml files of the demo you can make a request for it on email and we will send it to you. Send your request at contact@tagdiv.com and also include a link to this topic so we can know who you are.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can do this by editing your post’s template files and use the do_shortcode function to place there, after the posts content any widgets you build using visual composer’s page builder. You can find more details on how to do this in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/implement-infinite-scroll-on-single-posts/#post-43481
Thanks
Thanks for your reply.
I figured it out. Had to change the template for the page. The default template doesn’t have the Homepage Latest Articles Section. Two clicks did the trick.
CORRECTION TO BEST WAY TO SET CUSTOM TIME:
note I ran into issue with the previously suggested method for setting custom time stamp to print under headlines on posts, as it also changes the date used for things like archives by date pages and made the “day archive” post super funky — which came up when I put a calendar for month on one of my home pages.
So, better solution is:
I opened up single_template_2.php
and on/about line 30
added the time as so:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_date(false);?> <?php echo get_the_time(); ?>
Works perfectly.

Hi,
The option for page ID to be megamenu is added only for Newsmag for the moment, but this feature will be available also Newspaper 5 version.
The functionality and performance are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another, Newspaper’s grid width is 1170px while Newsmag’s width comes around 1021px. Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, as well as some other features like smart sidebar feature,smart lists or some of the post templates. We’re also working on a major update for Newspaper (v5.0) which will include most of the features from Newsmag.
Thanks!

Hi,
I’ve replied you 8 days ago. Haven’t you received my message?
This was my reply:
Hi,
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you use module 7 for your blog template: http://screencast.com/t/bGV5T8sl This is adding an excerpt paragraph and not the post content. To have this set like on our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_classic_blog/ you need to use module 1 for you blog post template: http://screencast.com/t/JIqqaCrQI5P – and use the read more tag from post editor to set the length of the content shown in post’s preview/excerpt, like this: http://screencast.com/t/YxPgnkhD – this will display this result: http://screencast.com/t/ARq5qbnW (please note that this ‘read more’ tag only works on loops – categories and blog pages in general).
Thanks
Lucian C.
Thanks
HI, this thread from newsmag forum might help … same process; basically open the post template you’re using and add the one standard WordPress “get time” tag.
See (head toward bottom of thread)
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/request-time-option-for-publish-date-on-post-page/
Hi, guys!
I’m usin the homepage template with article list as homepage. I’ve inserted an ad script as content, and it works fine on the first page. But when I go to the others pages (page 2, 3…) the ad content doesn’t show. There’s a way to insert this ad in all the pages in this template?
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all plugins leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again if you still have this issue. I have checked your site and found this js error in console – http://screencast.com/t/9HobsyP6Ir Please disable also js/css minifications.
Please test your pagespeed https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/ and try to fix those errors. You can find out more about this in our documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/ and also Christopher topic help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ Also please disable unnecessary plugins.
You can use a static homepage if you want, create your homepage and used like a blog page just set to page template with articles and it will display like a blog – http://screencast.com/t/hIqIyj7NL7Sp you have also options to display your latest articles – http://screencast.com/t/0oJuZEsqVJ – http://screencast.com/t/z0UAyvqNze
Thanks!
Hi,
Remove this itemprop="mainContentOfPage" from single post template 2: http://screencast.com/t/YZ2Etzg0ZXyb then test again. It should fix the markup error: http://screencast.com/t/NNuEv4fG
We will have a look into theme’s review system and fix this issues in the next theme update.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks
Hi,
1. Please use do_shortcode function after pagination in the archive, category and page template and display a custom ad there: http://screencast.com/t/epSdJBuFR5 – http://screencast.com/t/FAbXy7GEe4d
Result: http://screencast.com/t/amRJfbxy
2. The theme doesn’t have an option to display social share on page and you will need custom modification for this. Unfortunately we cannot provide any custom work for the moment as we work hard on development, updates, fixes and support so the time and resources don’t allow us to provide custom work. Also you can add likes button in pages – http://screencast.com/t/buJaJuGEomS7
3. You can add block 12 (with “Read More” button) in your page please see our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/block-12/
4. Please provide your site url so I can inspect this. Also you can check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if it works.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please create your tab block in a page – http://screencast.com/t/qYESfNAcj8 copy the shortcode – http://screencast.com/t/ndjZ6C9ni and use do_shortcode function to display it in the post template file(if you want to replace default comments in single – default post style) – http://screencast.com/t/ntYbQUfvP
echo do_shortcode('your shortcode')
Result: http://screencast.com/t/dnhEnM4rs
I have checked this using blocks, you can use plugins shortcode instead of block shortcode – http://screencast.com/t/IFlq3eidE
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and there is an issue also with image on mobile, not only with title – http://screencast.com/t/GZgeKEznR2N
Like you can see you have to change the height of the image for mobile, you can test this custom css, also you may create you own I only make a suggestion: http://screencast.com/t/daVBdR6s0Mp
@media (max-width: 767px){
.page.single_template_6 #td-outer-wrap .td-header-wrap {
height: 400px !important;
}
#td-full-screen-header-image {
height: 500px;
}
.page .td-full-screen-header-image-wrap #td-full-screen-header-image .td-backstretch{
height: 500px !important
}
.td-post-template-6 .td-post-header {
bottom: 70px;
}
}
With this css you can target the title and meta .td-post-template-6 .td-post-header
Thanks!
Yep. There used to be separate custom ad box – but I guess they combined it into a smart ad box so there wouldn’t be multiple if/then things going on with every page/template.
Anyway – that’s how I do it 🙂
For sidebars and whatnot I use a plugin for widgets to manage ads.
I was trying with this topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-disable-the-big-homepage-blocks-in-mobile-view/
but still .single_template_4 .similar-articles wont switch off at mobile devices.
I added custom css:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.single_template_4 .similar-articles
display: none !important;
}
}
and
@media (max-width: 767px)
.similar-articles {
display: none !important;
}
}
any help?
Basic issue with WordPress – not theme related.
You can Google the issue; some people make a “search” page with 404 template.
Basically there isn’t anything on site that should be linking to yoursite.xyz/search/
but hackers try to ping that location, and will generate the error in webmaster tools. Old known issue with WP.
Technically searches are done via
yoursite.com/search?query
(http://www.bintmusic.it/?s=mountain+bike)
so http://www.bintmusic.it/search/
will generate a 404 error since there is no page with that name or an index file in any folder by that name.
You can generally ignore that in your webmaster tools if there is just one of those and “mark fixed.”
If you are getting them constantly, then check your logs to see WHO is pinging that location and block their IP.
It’s possible that the search box, which starts with blank element
yoursite.com/search#
might somehow translate into a 404 — but that doesn’t show up in your XML sitemap, and Google is smart enough not to follow that deadlink in the search box (placeholder) — if they did you’d have hundreds of 404 errors per month.
Sorry if I’m rambling.
Generally it’s nothing to worry about.
hi there
We have a query. We would like to upload the ‘original’ social media icons rather the current ones made available by our template.
The current default ones(visible top right corner of our homepage) are not the official icons. Is there anyway we can upload the new(latest) ones and disuse the default ones?
It would be of great help because the quality of the design on our site is in the details 🙂
If you have any questions feel free to ask, hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Google Webmaster reports this error /search/ point to a page not found…
It could also redirect /search/ to another page, but in terms of seo even this does not seem a good idea.
What other solution to eliminate it in the page code?
var td_ad_background_click_link=””;
var td_ad_background_click_target=””;
var td_ajax_url=”http://www.bintmusic.it/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php”;
var td_get_template_directory_uri=”http://www.bintmusic.it/wp-content/themes/Newspaper”;
var tds_snap_menu=””;
var tds_header_style=””;
var tds_mobile_swipe=””;
var td_search_url=”http://www.bintmusic.it/search/”;
Thanks
Thanks very much for the reply.
You are totally right. This approach is really difficult.
Finally I managed to find a solution with a nested wp query inside the page template…
I would like to ask you something else.
1. Is it possible to disable the link on the title of only one (not all of them) block on the homepage?

2. On category pages I see this: <meta itemprop="author" content="geopal">

I want to replace content=”geopal” with something static even for the other authors. How I can do it?
3. And the last one: Is it possible to trim the excerpts that appear on category pages?
Thanks in advance for your patience 🙂
This codes seems to do the trick:
.page .template6-header {
top: 500px;
}
.page .td-full-screen-header-image-wrap, .page.single_template_6 .td-header-wrap {
height: 500px !important;
}
.page .td-full-screen-header-image-wrap .backstretch{
height: 500px!important;
}
.page .td-full-screen-header-image-wrap .td-backstretch{
height: auto!important;
}
.page #td-full-screen-header-image{
min-height: 500px;
}
However, the article title text and info does not resize with it. So on mobile the title text and other text is below the image. Fix for that?
Thank you for the answer
But my question wasn’t about the Post but rather – how to insert an image/a photo so it comes as background behind the posts in the homepage post template ?? I already saw how to insert a normal background, but it’s not working to insert the picture for this template.
Thanks for reverting.
