Hi,
That line changes based on the screen width you have and it has been added there to help you get a preview of your post depending on the width of the screen in which you view/preview your post.
You can change it by altering it’s css here: http://screencast.com/t/WE4OrojndgTU
Thanks
Hi, Chris
I have inspected your case and seems there is another bug. Not work for your case because you use ” in review description. To fix that add this code like here: http://screencast.com/t/zB2ClvxC8JF
We will fix this in the next update.
Many thanks again and sorry for all the issues.
FYI:
go to your wp settings > general
and in the time/date settings be sure to put in the time/date stamps you want in the format you want;
eg. for custom date format

I do not think that it is in WP4.1. First screenshot was on WP 4.0
Hello, I’ve the following problem: when writing an article in the wordpress panel, I should see exactly what appears on public website, right? Instead, in WP panel the new line starts before than in the public site. Why?
Also, is there any way to remove this option?
Thanks.

Hi folks; I know this came up with v1.3, and was hoping for fix with 1.4.
With a review such as here:
http://ga-ga.com/2436/ga-ga-for-movies-hey-mr-terrorist-i-liked-the-interview/
the ratings still don’t appear in Google when doing search for the review – or ANY review on the site; the ratings don’t appear in SERPS, in other words.
I am seeing some errors in schema data from above page.
With the Newspaper theme we didn’t have this issue, as if you put in a story to search for, such as “Book Review: How and Why the US is Economically âDividedâ” in Google, you can see the SERPS show the ratings properly on our other website.
Okay, that fixed it!
The custom post type was added by the reviews system we use. It makes a new category named reviews, adds new fields etc. Sadly with so many reviews using it, it would be a rather large task to move everything over and would also break all the permalinks that are present.
Thanks so much for all your help!
Note that if you don’t want to count the views made by yourself while previewing or initial view, you can reset the views to “0” on the post edit page after publishing from the custom fields boxes. Simple.
Actually, I was desperate in searching for reasons why things started to not perform – slow site, Google not indexing etc… and my hosting site Bluehost.com failed to tell me they had turned up the security due to a DDoS and the performance and problems were caused because of their lack of disclosure so I ran the test and that is what came up.
The website now is performing beautifully and is getting us a lot of compliments. Thank you for your review and support.
Cheers,
Stephanie

Hi,
We bought the theme and we are trying to modify. We have created the category and subcategories as well and in the block we wanted to show only one category and posts that are related to that category so we selected only that category but it shows nothing… why ..?
Please find the images:
and from the back-end
But when I click on the next slide and back previews is showing fine:
Can you please help?
Okay, reading over that thread, it seems the only way to do it is choose what layout you want that section to have and make a single file for it. Is there no way to just have the custom post type act as a regular post as such it includes the ability to have the same selections as a normal post type 1-8 etc.
Please let me know, you guys have been fantastic at helping so far, I would personally much prefer to use it as default, but do to the reviews system we use, it is stuck in a custom post type. Any help would be amazing!
Thanks again!
Hi,
I’m starting to make an effort to optimize the site for PageSpeed, and couple of minor things:
test page
http://ga-ga.com/1890/book-review-people-deserve-a-fighting-chance/
1) is it possible to setup the use of the optimum thumbnails for this kind of page layout? Basically actually using 200×150 images vs resizing them? I currently have 200×150 as one of the 3 sizes in the wp admin > media > small/medium/large, however the page blocks on posts don’t actually use the 200×150 size thumbs.
(to correct listed as “error” for pagespeed)
resized in HTML or CSS from 238×178 to 200×150. Serving a scaled image could save 1.5KiB (30% reduction).
2) can we set pages and posts and categories, etc., to NOT load the visual composer CSS since it’s only used on home page?
/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/css/js_composer.css
3) getting this issue, which I don’t recall seeing before when doing past optimizations, and not sure if something in ad module is loading something via BOTH http and https, or if this is strictly an issue on Google ad side of the load:
The following resources have identical contents, but are served from different URLs. Serve these resources from a consistent URL to save 1 request(s) and 9.2KiB.
âąhttp://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/bg/-GgkI9xeVCztemwrHKdpGDGZZ7feSdeVfZSSdFvmVw8.js
âąhttps://www.google.com/js/bg/-GgkI9xeVCztemwrHKdpGDGZZ7feSdeVfZSSdFvmVw8.js
4) best way to defer parsing of this javascript
âąhttp://ga-ga.com/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.min.js (622B)
âąhttp://ga-ga.com/wp-content/plugins/akismet/_inc/form.js (533B)
Thanks folks đ
@andirect
be sure to review this in the theme docs:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-speed-guide/
Ideally for initial testing of your site you should be testing post page, with all advertising turned off, as half the error messages come from ad networks. This allows you to “see” what is site specific vs external stuff.
The following all hurt your load times and speed:
1) social network “counters”
2) all externally loaded advertising
3) external jetpack elements
4) comments systems like LiveFyre, Disqus, FB comment box, etc.
5) too many images on one page (e.g., as on my page, no need for “latest news” in footer, since already in side bar, loading thumbs in yet another size!).
6) RSS or other syndicated elements loading from external source
7) gravatars for authors and comments (I use a local caching plugin to use local images vs loading from gravatar website)
Hope that helps đ
FYI, for those curious –
couple of things I’ve noticed
1) ad loading seems to slow down page more than it used to;
2) apparently it is better to use the long https://?= URL for embedding YouTube videos on post vs the http shortcode since it’s a redirect.
3) optimizing font loading is still a huge hairy deal to deal with, and to optimize site one must consider adding font calls to style.css at end and remove from the functions and/or the speedbooster functions file (depending on theme version); theme uses 3 Google fonts by default
4) running 3 ads on page does slow it down vs 2
this page has GTMetrix score of “95” without fully optimizing font loading, and need to remove the redundant images being loaded in footer for latest items.
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/ga-ga.com/drtVe8gF
for
http://ga-ga.com/1890/book-review-people-deserve-a-fighting-chance/
still, page load time is slower than it could be.
When I optimized the crap out of Newspaper a few months back; I optimized font loading, and also had only text ads loading from AdSense. Funky thing with that is Google now loads unoptimized favicons with some text ads which will fail the image dimensions test, and nothing can be done about it. Full stop.
So, I’ll be playing with this a bit more this month, as I did with the Newspaper theme a year ago, and may have a little “insane optimization” guide for y’all.
Like adding expiration headers for the icon font to the htaccess file đ
(Note: above page is *not* using a WP caching plugin of any kind, btw.)
One of the main reasons I bought this theme was this demo page:
http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609
How do I set my posts to look like that? When I turn off the sidebar to make it full-width, it’s too wide. I don’t want to hack the CSS since that’s going to have a cascade effect on the rest of the site, but how do I set my posts to look like this?
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.
Hello, theme latest updates it seems very various from the previews version in Function.php
Issue : http://screencast.com/t/WkGk0ESOhgy1
The Function.php itâs complete different from the theme previews version. I canât make the images on 220X220 on module 11. Could you please explain me what files need to edit in this new version ?
Thanks in advance.
First of all, thanks for the best theme I’ve ever seen in my life!
There is a little thing that bothers me. When I add gallery to post, I can see image captions in visual/text editor, but when I publish post, there is no captions under the images, however when I click on image and modal preview shows caption is there.
Can anyone please help me solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Jerko
hello how can i change the style of similar articles displayed to the M6 style like the following link?
http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/full_screen_preview/5489609
ATM is one on top of the other and I would like to change this.
http://www.insurancedaily.gr/%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B7%CE%BD-allianz-%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%86%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%B9%CF%83%CE%BC%CE%AD%CE%BD%CE%BF-%CF%84%CE%BF-%CE%B1%CE%B5%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%83%CE%BA%CE%AC%CF%86%CE%BF%CF%82-%CF%84%CE%B7%CF%82-air-asi/
thank u!
I have added the custom post type to td_data_source
I added this code:
//init the array
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_type' => array('post','reviews')
);
Now it works in most places, but not in archive area. Is there another file that I am missing that needs to be edited.
these sections show up in search and everything else, just not in the archive or Category pages for some reason.
Any ideas?
Just FYI – I received an update notice.

I had the same problem of Nitish. I say “had” beacause I believe I solved it. But not at all.
I try to explain. Sorry for my english…
I tried to empty cache, to compare source page of my site with original Newspaper, uninstall all plugins, reinstall them, change theme setting, change theme and reintall it. Nothing to do! Sharing on G+ a disaster…
Thumbnails were little and wrong, right the title, without meta description.
I followed the conversation between Nitish and Chris, here, and between Nitish and administrator TagDiv on Themeforest comments. Same frustration for me.
Today I noticed that the number of Thumbnails sharing on G+ was 30 and they were taken from the categories of “mega menu”, not random, but in order of menu. So, if I had in my menu for ex. “art”, “fashion”, “funny”, “sport” and my menu is “Mega menu”, G+ thumbnail was taken from the thumbnail of mega menu preview, in order: art, fashion, etc). If I moved category in menu switching place, thumbnail changes. Interesting, I said!
Going on with my experiment, I noticed that removing mega menu with sub category, thumbnails were correct! I supposed the gap was here. Now I removed [category with subcategory] from mega menu. All is ok. Sharing on G+ is perfect: correct title, correct thumbnail and correct meta description!
But I’d like to solve the entire issue ’cause megamenu with sub category is the peculiarity of this theme.
