If you want to hard code the number of posts shown on a category page and not use the built in function of wordpress, you “might” be able to use visual composer for that but I’ve not done that, or you’d need to modify the category template and manually specify the loop (if you have no idea how to do that, you might need to hire a developer).
Obviously if you only want to show 10 items on the category pages, you would set that from the wordpresss > reading function you’ve already used. 20 is a common number to use, however, and works fine on most websites. Some people do less, some people do more. If your main audience is mobile, obviously 10 is a good number.
Since that function impacts the category pages, you’d then use the visual composer to layout your home page and not be impacted by the “10” settings.
In other words, easier to layout the home page with the theme features, than hack the template for the category pages.
Hi,
You could do this from WordPress Dashboard > Reading Settings and set the front page to display your latest post like this http://screencast.com/t/GAUbd2Op
Then go to Theme Panel > Template settings and set Module 1 for Blog and posts template like this: http://screencast.com/t/jwAMA2oAun
Another way would be to create your own page like this http://screencast.com/t/kAy8dK9tEl9
And then set it like your homepage http://screencast.com/t/nWipxn9UP
Hope this helps!
Thanks
When I use Revolution Sliders on the Home page – template standard, the menu items
is covered behind the pictures in the slider?
How to fix that?

Hi,
Instead of the custom home page, i decided to use the traditional latest blog posts as the home page.
Two things:
1. Currently it’s using Module 6 but I have a custom Mobule 10 and I wanted to use this instead but it’s not avialable in thet theme panel blog post template settings.
2. Also, is it possible to remove the sidebar manually? doing it through the theme panel affects the individual posts pages as well/.
Thanks,
Hi,
Please make sure you have those posts set to default from backend – post add / edit page, like this: http://screencast.com/t/VcCD66eJMOhD
The option from Theme’s Panel > “Post Setting” and also the “Template Settings” for blog and post page templates are overwritten by the option from backend – post add / edit page so if you want to use the default from theme panel make sure that on posts set the default also.
If this issue is still present after that please send an e-mail at conatct@tagdiv.com with your wp-admin user and pass so we can check this and also include a link to this topic in your message.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
I have tested this and seems to be working fine, make sure you have added the slider in the template like this: http://screencast.com/t/VzptCzabGa3 – this ex is for Homepage with background and no article list template.
Result: http://screencast.com/t/agcchZbY
Also make sure you have created the slider like this:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/revolution-sliders-source-post-not-working/#post-15382
Known issues using speed booster is that is used to be in conflict with Revolution slider but we fixed it, of course it may be incompatible with some plugins so try to deactivate the plugins also if nothing else solves this.
Please let me know if you manage to solve this.
Also please send along a link to your site if you don’t solve this.
Thanks
Hello Emil,
Thanks for your reply, please check again, CDN issue is sorted, the site is working properly with W3 Total Cashe and new WP and Newspaper 4.1, except its Theme Panel.
If I delete the theme from wp-content\themes and re-upload the old version, is it going to affect WP settings, menus, Templates created in Pages, categories and everything other changes made on the theme and WP?
What else safer can we do to leave the WP and Theme content intact?
I am lost mate, please advise on that.
Kind regards,
Mr Hossain
Hi,
You have to identify what template are you using for your homepage and edit the template file http://screencast.com/t/xKfsedq7JJv
To add more field first you have to add them here http://screencast.com/t/7tUYwnoxR2Az
And then you have to create conditions like for the source and via here http://screencast.com/t/p00u5KiD
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Um…. you might want to read up on how to use WordPress first from the many tutorials online. Then review the docs for the theme, then explore using the features on each category page.
Typically you have categories for news such as
* Technology
* Entertainment
* Music
* Sports
then when you do a post, the news post gets put into a category related to that news content, like “Sports.”
For each category page, you can select a module layout, such as a big photo, and then colors, and a description about that category. The category page auto-updates with your latest items, and you can make it so the “featured” post is highlighted on each category page.
If you want to create a complete home page like layout for each category, you might have to do some custom programming. This is typically done in WordPress by creating a new category template based on the category number.
That might not be the best answer, but perhaps it will get the juices flowing 🙂
Hi,
If you want to use the JavaScript on post page you have to add the script on all posts templates or on the one you decide to use: http://screencast.com/t/hmiNw0Ua64z
If you want to use it on pages you have to add the script on the template you want to show up on http://screencast.com/t/32PeYXxB4mx
Thanks
Well, the first one is obviously irrelevant as that’s not the logo for your site, so just delete it. Clear your site cache so it can’t be seen. You obviously installed the demo content, which was then cached and hence why that is still found. If you upload your own logos, then the Newspaper logo shouldn’t show up on your site anymore.
FYI, useful to include the link to your GTMetrix report 🙂
I think the logo is loaded from the header and footer files, or a dependent file loaded by one of those and not in the style.css. So, if you look att the header.php script, then look at the different use cases for the layout option you’re using, you should be able to find the right header element…
e.g.,
default:
// this is the default header configuration
// (logo + ad) + menu
locate_template('parts/header-style-1.php', true);
locate_template('parts/menu-header.php', true);
break;
as so:
<a itemprop="url" href="<?php echo home_url(); ?>">
<img width="300" class="td-retina-data" data-retina="<?php echo htmlentities($td_customLogoR) ?>" src="<?php echo $td_customLogo?>" alt="<?php echo $td_logo_alt ?>"<?php echo $td_logo_title ?>/>
</a>
If I’m not mistaken width is specified implicitly to hint the page rendering, and then height is set as “auto” via the theme CSS, which is now common practice.
Hope that helped a little 🙂
Hey, thanks for the amazing theme, I have a question though :
The default site post template doesn’t seem to work fine, I have set in post settings the default template as style 2 (so 2/3 content 1/3 sidebar), in template settings –> blog and posts template I have set the sidebar on the right and still lots of my article are shown in a full width featured image and content (even if some of them are shown right ), the settings in each post are of course set to default.
By the way, what size do you recommand for the featured image in a basic post (with sidebar), I want thumbnails in the home page to be a bit balanced.
Thanks a lot
I see in the sales page there are DEMO STACKS but i don’t understand how to take advantage of them? should i download this predefined templates?
Hi,
My pages such as the home page and contact page are showing up broke all of a sudden, specifically the visual composer sidebar widgets are not showing where should. So the whole front page is now not showing correctly. The home page was built off the magazinly template and was showing up fine and just randomly it broke. I wasn’t touching anything on the home page or theme code.

Any ideas?
Hey Steven, think I solved this.
Look:
the nameservers are already changed in my CP at df.eu
But:
I had to deactivate “On CloudFlare Traffic will be accelerated by CloudFlare” for this:
Type A and Type AAAA
The result now is this: http://dnscheck.pingdom.com/?domain=cherrykoks.de
P.S I already have the strings remover installed, but not working because I added this to the functions.php
/** Remove Query strings from Static Resources. */
function _remove_script_version( $src ){
$parts = explode( ‘?’, $src );
return $parts[0];
}
add_filter( ‘script_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
add_filter( ‘style_loader_src’, ‘_remove_script_version’, 15, 1 );
<?php
}
add_action(‘print_media_templates’, ‘td_change_backbone_js_hook’);
Do you recommend to delete that code, and let the plugin do its work oder anything else?
And: any tip for bad request?

Simplest way is just add the information on the category description page for each description, as part of normal WordPress function, not part of the theme. I don’t think it allows for WYSIWYG (e.g., bold, italic, h2, etc.). But that is likely what you already tried. In old days we’d create custom category templates, but that’s a pain now with a complex theme like this.
Obviously searching the wordpress plugins repository is likely quicker than posting query here, but this one might work: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/categorytinymce
hi
I’m testing all features right now – before I clean the mess up and found something which grinds my gears.
I wrote an article with a youtube link and I marked this at “Featured Video”
see here: http://cherrykoks.de/fitness/jillian-michaels-banish-fat-boost-metabolism-complete-workout
When you open the post, you can see the video. No problem- good!
But you don’t see a thumbnail on the main page p.e at Popular Videos – ect.
It’s just white with no thumbnail
Can somebody tell me why? Do I need a special post template or have to change sidebar position? The style sheet ist also picked as “video”
Hi,
I’m using W3 Total Cache and WP-Postviews plugins. Homepage is built with one of the Newspaper Theme’s templates (with Visual Composer).
The post views are displayed correctly on the category pages and on the single post page as well. But on the homepage all posts have the same number of views…
Any suggestions on where to start looking?
Thanks.
it’s work, it’s my fault I have forgot to chose bb forum template in the page :).
thank’s a lot for the support
Hi,
Your template is great, one of the best. However is missing a small “feature” that is really important.
It’s possible to show the categories in the front page, right above the title, like this:

Thanks
Lets separate the two issues because I am not sure they are related:
#1) Block pagination –
I tried the option with ajax
as you can see in the video – I set block 2 (dont miss on the original homepage template) per your instruction and paging is still via ajax as far as I can see…
http://screencast.com/t/v8WDAUYnSrjE
#2) Homepage latest article list –
I changed permalinks back and forth several times but it did not help!
http://screencast.com/t/IrhZRqunJ
(#2 – is Much more critical!)
hi,
you can change the template of the 404 page from here: http://screencast.com/t/f3w2FjWJuqi7
Thanks for you message.

Update (STILL NOT WORKING)
I figured out that I might need to use the homepage with article template
and I am getting pagination below but when clicked I keep ending up on the homepage (even when directly browsing to the page links there seems to be a redirect)
is there a proper documentation I should follow ?
what’s the setting required for this to work?
Hi,
Filing another bug-report. If Style 2 is chosen, then side-bar widgets get all messed up and line height goes up to 50px as font size shoots up to 35px…this is the css which takes over side-bar:
.single_template_2 .entry-title, .single_template_5 .entry-title {
font-size: 35px;
line-height: 50px;
margin-bottom: 14px;
margin-top: 0;
}
.. and looks really ugly. Please release a fix with next version which if I compile are:
1: Timeline CSS is broken on mobile and some browsers
2: There should be Style 6 which offers full width featured image to complement full width title
3: Fix Title font size for style 5 (missing from post settings)
4: Settings for Page Content fonts missing from Theme Settings
