Hi –
you might be able to hide/disable them partially using the custom code from my sticky post for site optimization, specifically the first bits related to feeds, which would be added to the bottom of the theme functions.php file in a text editor (NOT WORD PROCESSOR)
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'rsd_link' ) ;
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links', 2 );
remove_action( 'wp_head', 'feed_links_extra', 3 );

Hi
1. Please check this topic, Alin posted a solution here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/search-box-3/
2. To remove the dropdown menu comment this lines: http://screencast.com/t/oztsJHIWQ then add this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/hzPCY0e8zc – http://screencast.com/t/9l96f6O2Em95
.td-category-siblings{
width: 100%!important;
}
.td-pulldown-filter-display-option{
display: none;
}
3. You can change the buttons colors using custom css, by targeting the specific classes for each button:
– related article: http://screencast.com/t/LWbbqSu9fx
.td-related-title .td-cur-simple-item{
background-color: #B24747;
}
-current category: http://screencast.com/t/lfVjqV8k
.category .td-subcategory-header a.td-current-sub-category{
background-color: #CE1313;
}
.category .entry-title span{
background-color: #CE1313;
}
-header search button: http://screencast.com/t/DjnvlIdx
input[type=submit] {
background-color: #CC2323;
}
Let me know how it goes and provide more details if still need assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Newspaper doesn’t have such an option and you will need to find/use a plugin for this. Unfortunately we did not test any plugin like this, so I cannot make any recommendations and guarantee that it will work, sorry!
I have seen that other users use Mailchip so feel free to test it and see if it helps.
2. Newspaper 6 doesn’t have whatsapp share option, you will have to add it manually in the code if you want this or use a plugin. You can find an example how to add a share button in the documentation(it is newsmag documentation, but it works also for newspaper) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-a-new-linkedin-button/
3. Please check this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-remove-author-name-from-posts/
4. I have already answered to this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/create-custom-page-for-category/ Maybe other users have another solution.
5. I have answered here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/multi-column-mega-menu-with-just-text/ Please follow the steps provided there and provide more details what you did not understand maybe I can explain it better.
6. Unfortunately this is how the mobile menu works, we will think to another implementation when a new navigation system will be created. I already answered here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/menu-scroll-issue-in-mobile-devices/
7. You can use the footer style 2 – http://screencast.com/t/FILqBSWWvb9 – http://screencast.com/t/xNSZLYMBt

Okay, so I’m not sure what happen between July 25th and now, but the new theme version is just not running and customizing like it should. Loads of bugs!
Here are a few things I need help with
1) BLOCKQUOTES. I have 6,000+ posts that use the NORMAL < blockquote> TEXT </ blockquote> tags. There is nowhere to customize these. How can I do this? It is ridiculous for me to have to go through every single post and change it to “blockquote center box” whatever. There has to be a way to alter these blockquotes.
2) BLOCKQUOTE COLOR – WHY is the color the same as the accent? How to I change that?
3) New Ticker Hover – How do I remove the Hover from the news ticker? I want to make it a color different than the theme accent, and for some reason it has a hover color. I don’t like it how do I remove it?
4) HYPERLINKS – Can I please know how to change the hyperlinks ONLY for page/post links? Anything I do seems to change hyperlinks site-wide.
5) H2 HYPERLINKS – For some reason any H2 text that is hyperlinked stays black. It will not change color to the “hyperlink” color.
6) LOAD – Is there a way to stop the site from fully refreshing every time a page/post is loaded? For some reason this version doesnt load as smoothly. I want it to refresh like this does: http://www.gameplanet.com.au/ You don’t even notice the refresh! The last version 6.2 did not have this issue, and now it does.
Funnily enough this came up here the other day as well. A plugin to do this kind of thing would be awesome from TagDiv, or a paid add-on option for the themes (hint!). I’d be willing to pay $25 for an “add-on” to the Newsmag theme for this, which is cheapo I know, but if you had a lot of folks buy it, well, it’s worth it. 🙂
Right now, it seems the best way to do this might be:
a) custom post template; edit one of the existing to add some “sponsored post” elements to page; change header link to header-sponsored.php
b) clone header.php and remove the default header ad box elements
c) create custom sidebar which doesn’t have default ad units
d) not sure how to set an expiration date; our local CMS (house built, not WP) has this function, I see couple of plugins for this out there, one which stopped working with latest WP update — but seems like there should be function for this (WP still evolving as proper CMS, which is why my system built in 2005, updated 2007, can do it, and WP still does not by default .. duh). Probably needs a cron job from server.
e) likely need a custom category which can be excluded from things like Google News sitemap, possibly main sitemap, but still feed into RSS streams
f) likely a custom “bug” added to end of the excerpt based on the custom category lookup to identify SPONSORED CONTENT clearly in excerpt
We’re looking to do something like this with possibly a 30,60,90 day expiration window for “sponsored content.”
Feedback from anybody who has actually implemented something like this would be major groovy bitchin’ kewl, as we say here in California 😉

So I found out where its now on 6.2.3:
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php on 276-281
// facebook sharing fix for videos, we add the custom meta data
if (has_post_thumbnail($post->ID)) {
$td_image = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id( $post->ID ), 'full' );
if (!empty($td_image[0])) {
echo '<meta property="og:image" content="' . $td_image[0] . '" />';
}
}
Can I safely remove it?
Chris, is this facebook sharing fix for videos not an issue because we are running YOAST (I’m running free version)?
Ideally l’d like the og:image tag to not be duplicated AND be able to post videos without issues on fb.
Hey again.
Loving the theme.
I am messing around with the custom page builder now and noticed that I can’t exclude posts from blocks that have a certain tag. I am curious if there is a way to remove all “Expired” tagged posts from homepage custom page builder blocks.
Would I have to edit each block template or is there some sort of loop before the template?
Any help be great,
Thanks for all the support, <3
i dont want to display catagory names and timg and comments meta info on this module

Hi,
I guess that you have changed the grid style to 4, so the gradient color is not applied anymore. If you use grid style 1 and remove background gradient color please check this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/grid-style-1-to-dark/ also if you want to reduce the darkness – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/change-shadow-function-in-big-grid-3/
For zoom effect please try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css:
.td-hover-1 .td-big-grid-post:hover .td-module-thumb .entry-thumb {
transform: none !important;
-webkit-transform: none !important;
-moz-transform: none !important;
}
Hope this helps!
Hi,
1. Using Ad Box(block or/and widget) and set sidebar ad, it will display the same ad. If you want to display a different ad you can paste the code in a custom spot from Theme Panel > Ads and set it in Ad Box block.
2. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option to remove ads on specific page/post. This can be done using custom css or alter the code, but the issue on your site is the classes from body are missing and I need it to use a specific class for your single product page(or all products page).
I think that it is a conflict and a plugin remove those classes from the body, please check – http://screencast.com/t/TvG4K9JVSy it should look something like this – http://screencast.com/t/nSWbEOYJP8 Please deactivate all plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and use browser inspector tool(F12 on Chrome) on any of your articles not only product page have this issue and see if they appear, then activate your plugins one by one and see which one cause this issue.
3. Please check also our demo and see if you see the same problem – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/
Thanks!
Hi Lucian/Support
Things have gone quite well replicating ad positions. A few questions as I finish off the move to Newspaper 6;
1. TagDiv ad block – for sidebar does this only have one ad and one widget? The one where you enter code in Theme Panel? I have used multiple Adrotate widgets instead.Can I use multiple instances of your TagDiv ad widget? Different ad code in each?
2. I have property pages – they are custom pages from Estatik plugin. in the shortcode from the plugin
[es_single_property] in generates the single property house or apartment – I need to remove all ads from that page and all like it – remove header ad/sidebar (sidebar which I’ve used a plugin for and removed the sidebar so that’s done) and all other banners – just need a clean page or no other real estate agents will pay to list properties with us. My previous theme had a tick box to remove all ads in WP editor for posts/pages. Is there some custom CSS or other code that I can put in to help with this?
also need all ads removing on ‘All Listings’ – ‘For Rent’ – ‘For Sale’ (accessible from dropdown menu) How can I do this?
3. Style 8 (posts) shows badly on smartphones – the parallax seems to corrupt
My staging URL is – http://147.e4d.myftpupload.com
Thanks so much
Pat
PS: I have disabled the “Show Post Views” option, but doesn’t work on blocks (like Slider), only posts. I have been searching for an option to remove it from the Slider, but can’t find it. Hope that you (tagdiv) can send me some code or something to solve this problem.
Thanks!
Hi,
The featured image is set on each post, to change it you have to edit the post, remove the existing one and add a new featured image – http://screencast.com/t/kmoxA5elOyp – http://screencast.com/t/it7uPnDmCUVZ
Blocks (like Big Grid) display posts. Most blocks display a thumb which is actually a small version of the post featured image.
For more basic wordpress information check the following resources – https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/
Thank you!
Hi guys,
Im using groups restrict access for a subscription website. i have allowed excerpts, images to display on pages until clicked on using the following code:
// If the unsubscribed user is looking at any of the page's listed the user will be able to view the list of post excerpts
if ( is_page('page-name-1') || is_page ('page-name-2') || is_page ('page-name-3') || is_page ('page-name-4') || is_page ('page-name-5') || is_page ('page-name-6') || is_page ('page-name-7') || is_page ('page-name-8') || is_page ('page-name-9') || is_page ('page-name-10') || is_page ('page-name-11') || is_page ('page-name-12') || is_page ('page-name-1') || is_category ('category-1') || is_category ('category-2') ) {
// Remove the Groups_Post_Access filters
remove_filter( 'posts_where', array( 'Groups_Post_Access', 'posts_where' ), 10, 2 );
remove_filter( 'the_posts', array( 'Groups_Post_Access', 'the_posts' ), 1, 2 );
remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', array( 'Groups_Post_Access', 'get_the_excerpt' ), 1 );
remove_filter( 'the_content', array( 'Groups_Post_Access', 'the_content' ), 1 );
remove_filter( 'posts_where', array( 'Groups_Restrict_Categories', 'posts_where' ), 10 );
remove_filter( 'get_pages', array( 'Groups_Restrict_Categories', 'get_pages' ) );
remove_filter( 'the_posts', array( 'Groups_Restrict_Categories', 'the_posts' ), 1 );
remove_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', array( 'Groups_Restrict_Categories', 'get_the_excerpt' ) );
remove_filter( 'the_content', array( 'Groups_Restrict_Categories', 'the_content' ) );
}
}
However this does not include the sidebar widgets that I have on posts. Is it possible to include widgets in the above code, for example I tried is_active_widget ('widget-id') and the_widget ('widget-id') but neither worked. Is there a theme widget tag that can be used?
Any help would be appreciated… its a real humdinger! 🙁
Thanks
Hi,
1. The TagDiv gallery is just an element which can be added on any page or post, there’s no post format for it. To remove the featured image you could use post style 5 – http://screencast.com/t/yJvQ4vYuR
There’s also a general option in Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/K4Rtz15xJ
And a general template option – http://screencast.com/t/4vXzk6BNttH
2. You mean to automatically change the image on load? unfortunately the theme doesn’t have such an option, it may be possible with custom modifications on the code.
3. The thumbs used on it are cropped automatically, not sure what you mean, please provide more details.
Thank you!
Hello tagDiv,
Purchased you Newspaper theme last Saturday and I must say – wow!! A few questions please;
1. On a the tagDiv Gallery post can I remove the Featured image on the post single page only? Only standard and Video post formats are displayed on the post page. Am I missing anything?
2. Can I make the tagDiv Gallery slide by default on page load?
3. Is it possible to crop images on upload to the tagDiv Gallery?
Thanks in advance. Your theme is truly the best and I wish you more sales.
Kind regards,
Ernest
I would like to remove the “sidebar” from the editor when composing a blog post. In the Newsmag forum, someone from Tagdiv commented on the process of removing it. Would you all please provide the same information to me again for Newspaper 6? I’m assuming it’s the same, but would like confirmation on what to comment out. Thanks
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have an option to remove the date from search engines however this could be done by removing all date stamps from post pages.
For the date follow the topic I’ve pasted below as I’ve posted a solution related to this:
* https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/remove-several-date/
you need to refer to this meta tags: http://screencast.com/t/JkPlQEqY – http://screencast.com/t/MemK5CD1qY
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks for the message!

Hi,
1. Also make sure that you update wp files install and database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
2. Either way, but considering the theme wasn’t tested with previous versions of WordPress you should update WordPress then update the theme.
3. Many files have changes from forth version, this sixth version of the theme is practically a new theme. I suggest you note the changes, update the theme using the update guide and remove the files of the 4th version you now have installed then upload the new ones then make the changes again but note that it may be possible not to work anymore.
4. There are lost of improvements, as I stated it’s practically a new theme, with a new grid, new designs, new features, new modules, blocks and posts templates.
Use the FTP method form the update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and follow the instructions carefully and updating it right shouldn’t cause you any issues, backup your current install, run the import settings script, update plugins and check the result.
You should also consider into the process at the following aspects:
– backup your current theme/WordPress/database: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– setup a maintenance mode and you can use a plugin for that.
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins
– switch back the rest of the plugins and start other services
Thanks

We’ve been using the following in our functions.php to allow basic HTML in user profiles to prettify and format the text:
//disable WordPress sanitization to allow more than just $allowedtags from /wp-includes/kses.php
remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
//add sanitization for WordPress posts
add_filter( 'pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
And up until 1.7.2 this worked fine.
I’ve noticed that on our live 2.0 site, the HTML is now rendered out as plain text. I’ve copied the live site into our staging environment to troubleshoot this and if I switch to TwentyFifteen it’s once again rendered as HTML.
Did something change in 2.x?
Hi
1. You can use header style 10 and remove the margins around the logo with custom css:
.td-header-style-10 .td-header-text-logo{
margin:0;
}
The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/KwPqcFjUGGvl
2. The size of social icons from top menu and footer can be changed using custom css: http://screencast.com/t/Qjtloicy3L
.td-social-icon-wrap i{
font-size: 18px;
width: 30px;
height: 30px
}
You can modify this values as you like.
3. To add the line between post
-in block 12 use this custom css: http://screencast.com/t/RgwLycBvzygI
.td-block-span12{
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
margin-bottom: 35px;
}
-in module 8: http://screencast.com/t/h5AM7N0Qp
.td_module_8 .item-details{
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
-in module 11: http://screencast.com/t/6UTSJvxMQAeT
.td_module_11{
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
margin-bottom: 35px;
}
4. We didn’t tested any plugin for that request so I can’t recommend one, this is the theme’s mega menu https://forum.tagdiv.com/menus-newsmag/ which you can use, but if you need another appearance for it you can look for a plugin.
5 For the big grid title you can use this css: http://screencast.com/t/ltBUOngPS8at
.td-big-grid-post .entry-title a{
background-color: red;
display: inline-block;
opacity: 0.8;
}
You can change the color and opacity as you like.
Thanks!
FYI,
Yoast SEO has had numerous bugs, check the changelog sometime to see how many bugs they have had. My contention was simply that using Yoast SEO as a “comparator” to anything else related to bugs, is not a good metric.
So, you don’t need to debunk my statement, as it’s well known. Yoast has had numerous bugs which break the site, break other plugins, and major security flaws (where they finally hired a security firm to check them).
H1 is useful on home page; H2 also useful for topical elements such as section heads, but not so much for story heads ad they are ephemeral; meaning, they change daily, so they are not sticky and therefore not relevant to long-term, long-tail SERPS placement.
The “home page” is typically not “critical” for SEO, as you want your “post” to rank higher than your home page for a specific story, including the title and excerpt, so causing them to fight each other is un-wise.
I only speak as an SEO expert having been building websites since March 1995, and widely interviewed on SEO topics by Entrepreneur, PCWorld, Monster.com, etc. And we had a highly successful SEO business for 10 years with over 2 million #1 positions in Google and Yahoo for our clients. And, oh yeah, I have two Harvey Measurement Awards for “most responsive advertising,” and a design award from Apple Computer, Inc. for marketing campaigns for Apple retail products in California, and built Oprah Winfrey’s ecom solution for her “Begin with Love” video series; but what the hell do I know?
TagDiv does provide the tools to add H1 tags to any home page and it should be up to any theme user / site developer to manage their own SEO practices. It could be needlessly confusing to have a built in H1 element on the home page template as there is no default home page template technically, since the presumption is you would be “rolling your own.” So this would require yet another set of code to check if home page and insert something in header, have toggles for on/off, and remove code for those doing their own H1 placement as we have done with WP for 10 years now. Frankly if folks can’t be aware of SEO for their own site, they are generally not that worried about it — and these are often same folk not reading the WP codex to learn how to set permalinks, etc.
One might also argue it’s useful to inspect the demo of a theme before buying it, then using it, then posting numerous times how bad it is or buggy, vs. requesting possible changes politely?
These are just my thoughts, having used Newspaper for almost 2 years now, and have great traffic, great SEO, and placement in Google News, Bing News, and syndicated worldwide through major information systems like LexisNexis, etc.
But that’s just me. Your mileage, as in all things, will vary.

‘live_filter_cur_post_author’ => ” //auto generated – author_id of current post
Still no luck with having those expired tagged posts being removed from category.

Hi,
Ok, so I guess it was a plugin that caused this issue.
Another couple of quick questions:
1) I used the themeforest auto update feature, as shown in one of your posts here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/. Does that automatically update the included plugins that came with the theme?
2) The speedbooster plugin shows incompatibilities with several popular plugins, such as akismet, AMR shortcodes etc. Obviously spam prevention, shortcodes and website performance are both very important. Whilst it is unlikely (as incompatible does mean incompatible), will there be any possibility of this plugin being more compatible in the future?
3) On my website (www.studenthub.org.uk), the featured images do not fill up the tiled spaces, leaving blank grey spaces. Is there anyway to remove them, so the featured images scale to fit the gaps?
Thanks for your reply.
Hi,
Unfortunately we removed this option so in version 6 of the theme the post views can be enabled/disabled only for post template, it is not available for modules/blocks like in version 4, sorry! Only comments count can be displayed on blocks/modules liek you can see also on our demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Thanks!
