Hi,
I have checked your site and found that you use Block2 in full row, you can take a look at our demo and see how block2 is used(display) on 1,2 and 3 columns – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-2/ – http://screencast.com/t/jDHKHcHO4Kkz
If you refer to the blocks thumbnails – http://screencast.com/t/dvrxR0Jv9sge please note that WordPress doesn’t enlarge images and you will need to use plugin like Thumbnail Upscale to enlarge thumbnails,: https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ For upscale use a combination of plugins Thumbnail Upscale + Force Regenerate.
Please provide more details if this not solve your issue as I’m not sure what it is.
Thanks!
Welcome to WordPress. WP doesn’t support “enlarging of images.” They (Automattic) turn OFF the built in function of the ImageMagick module on server for their stupid philosophy that enlarged images look fuzzy. Hence need to use a plugin to allow images to be larger than the size you upload.
So, not a theme issue. But still super annoying. Hence need for a plugin to “unlock” the featured to make thumbs larger to “crop and fit” things like sliders/blocks.
Obviously you have to regenerate your thumbnails to fit the sizes used by the theme if they don’t exist.

Im having trouble with 1.7. Its too slow. And that image animations made this temp disgusting! i hated it 1.7! I want the older version. I already sent an email but i needed a place to say my feelings! is there anyone out there angry, just like me?
Also there are lots of problems with my temp,
when my website is opening, first i see the original template with dark bars and default fonta. then it turns to my customized web site. i hate this thing! solve this please.
Temp is not wide enough. i cant use is properly. especially on the hd monitor it looks thinner.
grid problem. the big grid image could have been a slide. and it would have been a great! but its not. any ideas?
the block image thing. an image regenerates for 5 times. this is a lot of image man. cant you just expand it or strech it maybe minimize it? ive downloaded several plugins for mini sliders and they dont regenarate thumbs. theyre using the original image…so it means it can be done.
anyway. ive got a lot of problem here. but my biggest problem is my web site slowness. i want the older version please. at least older one was little bit faaster…
For the photos issue, try adding the “thumbnail upscale” plugin then run the “regenerate thumbnails” plugin 🙂
Hi,
We have had some reports regarding this, and not sure for what reasons, seems that the icons are looking like that for some user only.
Please try to regenerate the newsmag fonts then empty cache/purge files again and let me know if this issue persists.
You can also try to regenerate fonts like this:
1. go to https://icomoon.io/app
2. button “import icons”, import from newsmag.svg (in /images/icons/),
3. select all icons;
4. button “generate font”, button “download”;
5. copy the 4 files (.eot, .svg .ttf .woff), in “fonts” folder in the downloaded zip file, rename icomoon.* to newsmag.*, replace old files, done.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Btw, i’ve used Regenerate Thumbnails and it didn’t work.
Hi,
Please use this guide and regenerate thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
The theme use the WordPress thumb system and uses thumbs on module/blocks/slides which are cropped at the same size as the thumb container.
Please make sure that you regenerate your thumbnails then test again and provide your site url so I can check it if you still have issues afterwards.
Thanks
Check this:
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.designworld.se/mzubypYr
Also, try setting the thumbnail compression level to as low as 45 in your functions.php file and then regenerate all plugins to get that extra annoying 1-2% they bug you about. 🙂
And yes, you can’t do much about Akamai, google, facebook stuff being loaded externally.
Hi,
This image/thumb source: http://screencast.com/t/QXXmSalERTT ..is actually the large image/thumb which you set from WordPress media settings: http://screencast.com/t/ZgNVOTffQO so when you add a “large” image thumb the image called on your post will be the thumb you have set as “large” in the media settings but because the theme’s width post content is 700px the width attributes generated for the image tag is 700px so gathering all this you will end up with the result from your case.
To set this right you need to set the large image thumbnail size form WordPress media settings to 700px then regenerate thumbnails to create the 700px width thumbnails which will be used on posts: http://screencast.com/t/gcJxko6F
Thanks
Hi,
1. If you refer to the featured images you can change sizes here: http://screencast.com/t/GDZGdlzvk and then regenerate thumbnails using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
2. To not display parent category on post page please comment this line: http://screencast.com/t/TvyKamXn
3. Unfortunately there is no option for that, when you make a parent category megamenu it will display automatically subcategories. You will need custom modification for that.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked you site and you category page look fine: http://screencast.com/t/2Qwi41iL6ZZ3
You have a page with the same title that is added in you menu(this is not a category): http://screencast.com/t/dZQCnzNYNB and and this border cause the issue with Big Slider because it can be used properly on full width row – http://screencast.com/t/snvDQ1dB
If you remove that border will look like this: http://screencast.com/t/JfY3ctgx51l
Also if you refer to the image height – http://screencast.com/t/3Y3yq8ZC please note that WordPress doesn’t enlarge images and you will need to use plugin like Thumbnail Upscale to enlarge thumbnails,: https://wordpress.org/plugins/thumbnail-upscale/ For upscale use a combination of plugins Thumbnail Upscale + Force Regenerate.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have tested your site with google page speed: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.autismestart.nl%2F&tab=desktop You can see that also your server cause this issue.
For image compression we recommend a plugin like Smush it: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/ or add the following code in functions.php:
add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function('', 'return 50;' ) );
This will compress all images to 50%, you can change that value, after you add the code you have to regenerate all thumbs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
Please set Leverage browser caching using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ and you can disable page views from modules it may also help: http://screencast.com/t/TgDSU6xCA
Hope this helps!
A lot of your post images don’t seem to appear on your home page either?
Be sure to
a) always set a featured image for each post
b) regenerate thumbs for old content
Not sure if that helps.
Hi,
We will have a look into this, I’ll add this on our todo list for further testing.
For the source image issue please make sure that you regenerate thumbnail then empty all caches, purge files if you use cdn host then check again: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
Thanks
WordPress cannot enlarge images due to stupid setting of the Automattic folks (who make WP).
You need to use the “Thumbnail Upscale” plugin which turns this function back on.
Your web server supports doing that, but the WordPress folks don’t like it as they think it “makes images look bad when enlarged.” (Really dumb.)
Try it … then do regenerate thumbnails (using THAT plugin). It’s like magic 🙂
Hi,
The postname works fine, see here: http://screencast.com/t/gxxYQIxV4Z
That td_d_slug_24 is the slug name of that post.
I see that you only edited the existing posts and changed the title, if you want to regenerate the slug for that posts, edit the post, delete the slug and hit ok, and a new slug will be generated from you new post title.
http://screencast.com/t/BykWisnaecO Hit edit, empty the field and hit ok. http://screencast.com/t/ON84CcnnN
Hope this help!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I’m using Newspaper theme in my long term blog. The theme is awesome and I’m liking it very much.. But I’m having a few issues, and I would like you to help me to resolve those issue.
1. The featured images of my site is not cropping properly, and thus the pagespeed of my homepage is worse (<45). I need to get at least 80+ Pagespeed for my blog. The featured images are not cropping, even if I select that option from theme panel. I have also regenerate all the thumbnails as mentioned in the documentation. But it didn’t work…
2. I have seen a beautiful border around the big slider on the homepage in the demo version.. But in my site, the slider doesn’t have border around it..and It looks little bit clumsy..
Plz help me to solve these issues !!!
Hey guys,
Thanks to Chris I run “regenerate thumbnails”-plugin and that solved the problem.
Make sure to clear cache; be sure to run regenerate thumbnails to have them built to match module sizes. In some cases make sure “crop” button is checked on the media page of main WP admin panel.
Also remember not to use high ascii characters in file names … like ” Ă ”
often you can look at your page source to identify such issues:
Manolo-DĂaz-Yogome-fundadores-1024×628.jpg” alt=”Alberto ColĂn y Manolo DĂaz fueron hasta Silicon Valley para proba…
here’s an example:
http://www.goproace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/screen_module_imagealign_6apr15.png
I did regenerate the thumbnails, but it might not be the reason the images are out of alignment.
As shown on the screenshot, some headlines take up 3 rows, and some take up 2 rows.
I want to have the headline text be consistently 2 or 3 rows, then possibly everything will be in alignment? I just don’t know how to do that yet.
Thanks again

Hi,
Please check what modules do you use on homepage and try to change the size for those images from functions.php: http://screencast.com/t/uZIUSNAY8 and then regenerate your thumbnails using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
Thanks!
Hi,
You can change block2 to use module 10 which uses not thumbnail, like this: http://screencast.com/t/tLcYozpEBmO
Then comment or remove the ‘art-thumb’ images size from function: http://screencast.com/t/XgYvUox6K93i
Please note that module3 and the art-thumb image size is also used on block1 so removing this thumb will affect that module.
After commenting the image size function you need to use a plugin like Force Regenerate thumbs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/force-regenerate-thumbnails/ ..which will also remove the thumbs.
I suggest you get a freelancer to help you with this if you don’t have any basic php coding skills and make a backup of you current theme installation.
Thanks
Link or screenshot ?
Did you regenerate the thumbnails so they are all the same size?
Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean, if your images don’t fill the whole container please regenerate your thumbnails using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
If this is not your issue please provide more details and your site URL so we can take a look.
Thanks!
