The ads work perfectly on our sites. So, this means it’s either a plugin conflict, or a caching issue. All the theme is doing is inserted the AdSense code into the template in the right place, so as long as you put the right code into the box, and the page is updated and visible online, then the new code will pull the new ad format.
I betcha it’s caching! 😉
Hi,
You use the Homepage – blank template, edit the main page and add the Widgetised Sidebar block in place of the Social Counter block or under it, ex – http://screencast.com/t/G2JxlsyCX1
From the Widgetised Sidebar settings area you can select the sidebar you want – http://screencast.com/t/i9g6Faq1z58Q
Try the following css (add it inside Theme Panel -> Custom CSS): – http://screencast.com/t/PI1QI2SIbNV
.widget_facebook_likebox .block-title{
border-color: blue;
}
.widget_facebook_likebox .block-title span, .widget_facebook_likebox .block-title span a{
background-color: blue;
}
.widget_facebook_likebox .block-title span a {
color: white;
}
Modify the colors as you like.
Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,
I have checked your site and you have 3 empty rows: http://screencast.com/t/YqIRy2Hb
You have to edit you page and delete them like this: http://screencast.com/t/oIhV4Zw5B6yV
If you don’t want Latest Articles you can use page template Homepage-blank like this: http://screencast.com/t/Y33BVLV4oYx
Thanks!

Hi,
You can doit using css:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-page-wrap .td-grid-wrap .span4 {
display: none;
}}
But this may not be so precise, if you have more span4 into the page content – http://screencast.com/t/80ac2b4m6yJs they will also be hidden.
The alternative would be to add a unique class on each template for the sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/gbFUaJLY
And use the following css:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-page-wrap .td-grid-wrap .my_left_sidebar {
display: none;
}}
The css should be added in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
Please provide an URL or a screenshot so I can inspect the behavior you’ve reported when using categories in block 1,2,6.
This: http://screencast.com/t/7UMOYTOiLOS is module 12 and unfortunately can’t be added and used via page builder and it can only be set on category/archives/search/blog pages.. and also for the latest articles sections. So to have it you need to use the “pagebuilder with articles list” template and set the latest art. section to use the module 12 post layout.
Maybe your issue can be solved via css, send me your site URL and point me to the page on which you need this space and I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure that you use these page templates: http://screencast.com/t/XGYYCDS00
You can also find this info along with more useful information in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
Thanks!
Hi,
I have the settings correct and the Featured Image used to load on all posts pages.
Please visit my site for an example: http://feedup.ca/cute-pets-or-animal-cruelty/ .
I looked into the code and the following property might be an issue:

The display:none is causing the issue I’m guessing?
But my back end theme template has featured image turned on. Everything seems to be correct.
Please advise!
Hi,
The latest are section is the same as a blog page and it’s added into the template using the loop so it’s independent from the page builder above.
What you could do is to use a template without that sections and use a block to create it. Of course it will not look and function in the same way but will be the best approach for your needs so you can use a block set a number of posts from all categories, the latest articles sort order, give it a title like “latest articles” and set the pagination to load more or next/prev..
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hello, i have two stupid question to solve 🙂
1: I want to insert the +1 button of google in a few posts , but I did not understand in this issue where I have to put this code <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
<g:plusone></g:plusone>
2: I can visually edit the template of the home page ? I can not create a page with the style of a normal blog
Not a theme issue; the author page is a built in function of WordPress.
This is a quick and dirty:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-author-pages/
You could also comment out the author name block on the various templates; and/or in theme panel post options to not show author name.
Hi,
The simpler way would be to set and use the “homepage bg” template. In that case you will automatically have added an slider to the page then use custom css to set the background to be transparent.
Set the background template then remove the big slider you use then let me know and I will provide you the css to set the background to transparent.
Thanks
Hi,
You can also set the sidebar for the page as well from page template settings section: http://screencast.com/t/29IKb73Cj7rV
To remove the more stories box from mobiles you can sue this custom css in theme panel > custom css filed:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-more-articles-box{
display:none;
}
}
To hide the sidebar you can use this custom css:
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-main-sidebar {
display: none !important;
}
}
Regarding ads please note that those ad switches are for adsense ads only so if you are using other type of ads will not work. Please send your site’s URL so I can also inspect this.
Thanks

Hi,
Unfortunately you can’t use html in category description. You can use the text widget or the VC page builder and add the html you want directly into the category page template.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Heh. Yeah, well, that would make the difference. 15,000 posts on one site, vs 692,000 is totally different thing. Even if we have 20 sites, it’s still different animal. Our main big site has 15 years of content, but we use custom CMS to spit out static pages so the dbase is only queried when building static pages so the content that doesn’t change doesn’t do dbase queries all the time (good ol server side includes and shtml).
The amount of posts might be the issue. Still, WordPress is running some big sites like TIME magazine, etc.
I would imagine you’ve already done all sorts of optimizations for RAM (e.g., 16GB to your domain or more), all the modern php optimizers, and limit the number of query objects per page, and/or implement things like archival content has smaller payloads per page (e.g., items more than x years older use lighter template, etc.).
However, I’d likely go ahead and try the P3 profiler if you’re not already using something like that just to double check what is generating the most queries beyond the on-page theme stuff.
Newsmag is more fixed width, while Newspaper is more wide screen. Both from TagDiv.
Obviously setting up simpler things on page like not using megamenu on posts, not doing extra queries in footer, using fewer images on page, etc. can cut down on number of dbase queries.
Also optimize the wp-config.php file if not already done to reduce {get directory name} kind of queries.
Ok, thanks for your help! For now, it’s not the greatest of tragedies for me, as things generally are still spaced and ordered as a list, just minus the icon.
Chris, while you’re here and I have your ear, could I show you a possible related issue?
If you look at this page, which is my landing page for the continent of Africa, the countries in the three columns all show up correctly, but also without the bullet point “icons.”
However, if you look at this other page, which is my landing page for the continent of Europe, and look at the three columns of countries, do you see that the first column is far too left, and thus hidden under the left border? These countries on this page I DID NOT use the unordered listing structure, and they are just there, so that means that these now go to the left? When I played around and ‘previewed’ what would happen if I would bullet-point them into an unordered list, they come back into view, but without the bullet “icons.”
Any idea what’s up, and if this is related? Thanks so much, once again!
Christian
P.S. – Just FYI, these two pages above are ‘custom post types’ but with adjusted page templates as instructed to me by Emil.
OK – we’ve started migrating the content – and we’ve edited the loop.single templates to pull in the custom field for the image by adding this just before <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_content();?>:
<table width="300px" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Image', true) ) { ?>
ID, "Image", true); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" width="300px" border="0" style="padding: 0px;" align="centre"/>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php } ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
It’s working fine – but we just have a small, cosmetic formatting issue – the table holding the image is the full width of the page – ideally we want it set as just 300px wide and aligned right – so that the content wraps around the left of the table.

Can you help with necessary css code to achieve this? There are in excess of old 10,000 articles in the database.
This should work fine while we generate new post thumbnails with Auto Post Thumbnail Pro.
Thanks Chris.
It doesnt really matter to me which image info it would show as long i can edit a copyright information in it. So caption for the featured image would be perfectly alright for me.
Until recently i used an older Newspaper version with a page template that did that job.
Just FYI – I received an update notice.

Hi,
Unfortunately the only customization you can do to the tag page can be doe from theme panel > template settings and involve the articles display view on the page and the sidebar position: http://screencast.com/t/yzjSD04ah
Other customization can be done to the template file but having each tag page customized is not an easy task and you would need custom work for that or you could also try search an use a plugin if there is one that can help you achieve what you want.
Regarding your site’s speed you can use the guides I’ve pasted below and the tagdiv speedbooster plugin to do it:
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/can-i-add-plugins-css-to-footer/#post-6348
You can also follow this topic to find out how others fixed their issues regarding pagespeed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/

Hi,
You have to create a new page, set the template to “Homepage – with article list” – http://screencast.com/t/e3rpwQSu, configure it to use module 8 or 9 – http://screencast.com/t/OI1wx7ZueD eventually add more elements on top and save the page – http://screencast.com/t/mSgEYIeRLFsa
Set the newly created page as a main page – http://screencast.com/t/Zz1NXUoxG
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,

hello, i am really thankfull for this template! I have the following question.
Is there any way that i customize each tag page for every tag ?
i have the following blog, http://www.insurancedaily.gr and I want to have each tag page customized by the editor.
http://www.insurancedaily.gr/tag/erb-eurolife-asfalistiki/
as you see i am only able to set a description above the loop of post and i am not able to customize it.
thank u!
Hi,
You can add it directly on page template and use the do_shortcode() function to call the ad spot you want there.
To add and ad to the top of latest articles are you can also use the page builder and add it using the VC Ad box element to add it last on page so that it will appear right before the latest articles section.
To add it in the template you need to edit the page-pagebuilder-latest.php file and add it like this: http://screencast.com/t/DKTrJYAYLLWA
Use this line: <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]') ?>
Result: http://screencast.com/t/ww9XPrN3mr6d
Please also note that you need to do this for all cases or for the one you want to use, in my ex you can notice I have done it for the nosidebar case.
Thanks

Hi,
1. I have also tested this using your posts content and found the same issue on my local machine and just on firefox.
Noticed that the fonts couldn’t be loaded and this “Cross-Origin Request Blocked” error came up in the browser console: http://screencast.com/t/kq9Tjdy0T
We will continue to make tests and further investigate this so you could try this solution: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co
Also noticed that you’ve changed the “ubuntu” font as it’s not loaded: http://screencast.com/t/H7eGKfRFSChk so I’m not sure if this also happens in your case but you could give this a try and let me know.
2. I haven’t noticed this on your page: http://screencast.com/t/HSG9Igto but you can use this css to remove it:
.single_template_6 .td-image-gradient:before {
display: none;
}
Thanks
Hi again, not to be a pain, but I have had some issues on my site – or in admin, the site has gone BLANK from page to Admin panel off and on – it’s not memory on my computer and at times it looks like the page is offline.
I have submitted a trouble ticket to my hosting (bluehost.com) but also ran the plugin- theme check and it came up with some errors – below is the result of the report.
I have also disabled all the plugins that I could think of – please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
Stephanie
