Hi, congratulations for the template.
I have a problem with images in evidence. I run the plugin to regenerate miniatures but not all images are ok.
The dimensions are all different.
https://www.vivitelese.it/2017/01/matchxmath-borsa-studio-mario-liverini/
the cut should be for all images as well.(https://www.vivitelese.it/2017/01/guardia-sanframondi-si-presenta-telesia-michele-selvaggio/)
How can I do?
Thanks
Hello,
You most likely have the thumbs disabled and your site loads the full image.s We see this happen lots of times. Please make sure the thumbs you use are active in this section: https://www.screencast.com/t/nXYukFGaNha and after that regenerate your thumbs using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
For page speed in general, please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you!

Used the regenerate thumbnail plugin and no luck!
Following an auto update of my site to WP 4.7.1 today, none of my featured images or embedded images within posts are showing. All images are visible in the media library, and when I access the image via the URL, it appears in the browser.
This is happening in all browsers.
I have regenerated my thumbnails and disabled Jetpack and Smush It plugins to no effect.
URL: outwire757.com.
Help?
This has happened to me a number of times as well. I just regenerated thumbs for another reason. I had to load a photo as the featured image for the video to display. Otherwise, it was displaying a blank placeholder. For some reason the video thumb is not consistently produced.
Hello boomtastic,
You should regenerate your thumbnails using the Force Regenerate Plugin and Force Regenerate plugin. For more information about this fix, you can consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello scinatl1990,
You should regenerate your thumbnails using the Force Regenerate Plugin and Force Regenerate plugin. For more information about this fix, you can consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Also, you should disable the lazy load effect from Theme panel -> http://screencast.com/t/qqoGorkdA if you are using this effect and also, if you are using some untested plugins, you should disable all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Also, if your problem is still there, please provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer your setup page and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The image may be too small or it’s not regenerated.
For regeneration use Force Regenerate Thumbnails plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/
If this doesn’t help you have to use a larger image or use a plugin like Thumbnail Upscale – https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/
More details about this can be found here (scroll down to Uploaded Image Size chapter) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-theme-thumbs/
Thank you!
Hi,
The Slider element was not meant to be full width, so you have to do some custom work in order to achieve this. First you need to stretch the row containing the Slider – http://screencast.com/t/DmKqDNKXorX Then add this css in Theme Panel->Custom Css
.iosSlider-col-3 .entry-thumb {
width: 100%;
}
This is the result – http://screencast.com/t/8Apbk7Ub
As you can see the image thumb displayed in the slider is still the default size used by the slider element – http://screencast.com/t/bFCcimlnqY only stretched. To modify the thumb to a custom size so it will look better, you have to edit the td_api_thumb found here – http://screencast.com/t/iyhNuouo2PGn coresponding to the Slider on 3 columns. More about the theme API here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-thumbnail-introduction/
Make sure you regenerate thumbnails after you make the changes – https://forum.tagdiv.com/existing-content/
Thanks
Hello,
You will have to upload bigger images so there is room to cut the image in the bigger size. The theme will not create a bigger image. It will grab the maximum size it can but if there is no bigger image uploaded it will still show the same size as the previous thumb. For example. You have an image thjat is 696 x 480 for example. The thumb used on posts is 696 x 0 and for retina you would need a double size image. Welkl the theme cannot create the double size from a small image. Add a size of 1920 x 1080 instead of 696 x 480 and then you will see a difference. You can make sthis test with existing images on very small thumbs where you will see a before and after result without uploading a bigger image. Make sure you also clear cache after you regenerate thumbs though
Thank you!

Hello,
I have attempted today to try retina image generation on my theme. Unfortunately, it is not working, as in the images appear no different and seem to be using the same non-retina sizes on a clearly retina screen (rMBP 2015).
I have enabled it correctly and I have used the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin, but that didn’t help.
The size in question is a custom size that I added, 1068×600, that is going to be used on the home page (the site is not yet live). The non-retina version displays and generates correctly.
Looking at the theme’s media folder, there doesn’t appear to be any new images being created when I enable it.
Do you have any ideas for what may be the problem? Does the plugin support the retina generation?
Hi, I’am a new Newspaper (7.6) user on WP (4.7)
I get the thumbs not working.
What I have done:
* Enable all block settings
* Disable all plugins
* Clear Redis cache on server
* Purge all CDN data
* Regenerate Thumbnails
Hi, as i told you, we create at least 5 new post/articles everyday. Thumbnails are activated since de first time and it works well before the last update of the theme, so regenerate thumbnails doesnt do anything because is the own theme which doesnt create them when we upload an image and it doesnt show propertly at the grid slide on the home page.
Thanks!
Hello,
Depending on the slider you use, the thumb size can be different. Here is a list of thumbnails used in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
If your image is bigger than the thumb and it still does not fit properly it means you will have to regenerate thumbs: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Well the script was successful if it says you should regenerate thumbs. It seems there is no success message after all. I have just tested it again (sorry but version 4 is very old and we haven’t tested anything on it in a long time :)) The process is completed and you can move on and check your site. If your site disaplays fine, then the process is complete.
Please note that some items will have to be recreated using the new elements in visual composer.
Thank you!
I can see this here:
Import script started:
> Importing widgets
> Importing theme settings
> Updating the content
> Please regenerate your thumbnails!
Thats it. Even without any Plugin
Hello Dilwsi,
Also, please notice that each block uses a specific thumb which crops the each featured image from your posts.
Please take a look over the below explanation and try to understand a bit how it works the thumbs in the theme. Please check here ->>
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size utilized by the theme. When a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image shown is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate. For more information about these kinds of plugins, please consult their documentation here -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/ Also, please ensure that the functionalities of these plugins are not affected by the other untested plugins that could create interference through the theme. Please notice that these types of plugins are not tested with our theme and we cannot provide support for the theme. We recommend them because a lot of our customer uses and they were satisfied to their functionality.
A primary example you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/rhIdwe22d2
Thanks for your understanding!
@Bogdan B.
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.
You’re not seeing any difference because you’re using desktop to view the site “as a mobile” device. This is not the case when you view the image in actual mobile phone itself. If you use desktop tool, it’s the same as resizing your bowser window smaller, and you don’t see any effect on images at all. Try viewing the page in actual mobile phone, and hopefully you’ll notice the difference.
Also, I’ve tried everything from disabling every plugin, and clearing the cache (browser’s, site’s and CDN). I do not use any image compression plugin. Regenerated thumbnails twice.
Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry but here is a side by side comparison between the 2 images mobile and desktop:
http://screencast.com/t/gCLo2Uuuc1ym
It is the exact same image. I cannot see any blurriness between the 2.
If you truly see differences in quality between mobile and desktop, you will have to remove any optimization plugins that you may be using, reduce image compression, and regenerate thumbnails. Then test again.
You can also try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check images again. There could be a plugin affecting the image quality.
Let us know if you still have trouble with the images.
Thank you!
Hi,

HI,
I used the Force Regenerate plugin the first time I installed the theme. If i were to use it again, would it impact the quality of my images?
Thanks

Hi,
The theme crops the images center-top, you can read more about this here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
You use module 16 to display your articles on OBITUARIES category. Module 16 uses the wordpress thumbnail and not one generated by the theme and you can control it’s size from wordpress settings – http://screencast.com/t/oBz9lqNf – http://screencast.com/t/oIIOIkkyloNk and regenerate your thumbnails(you can do some test only for a single image).
Or you can try to change the module used on the specific category and try for example module 19 maybe it respects more the aspect ratio of your images – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/module-19-layout/
Thanks!
Hi,
There is a major problem with responsive mobile version of the Newspaper theme that effects the page load speed and Google rankings. I currently using latest version (7.5), regenerated thumbnails and I thought it might fix it, but it didn’t.
The problem is that the image gets blurry and low quality in posts in mobile version even when I upload the image that is 400px wide. When I viewed it in my LG G3, the images in post (at least 400px wide) is of low quality. This wasn’t the case when I used to have Newspaper version 6.
The images should be able to get at least medium quality images in post images, but it doesn’t.
To fix this, you should upload image 2x the size. For example, if you have 400px wide image then you should upload 800px image to get it with good quality on mobile. WE DON’T want every image to be unnecessarily 800px wide image on posts. This definitely affects the site loading speed and eventually depreciates the search engine rankings.
You guys should do something to fix this problem immediately, or offer the solution get it fixed. You might suggest using Mobile plugin version, but it still it a mess, and the users has been getting a lot of issues reported on this forum.
Thanks!
