I ran into issues creating the Smart Sidebar.
Newspaper 8 Tutorials – tagDiv Composer 3 minutes Page Configuration
At 1.59 of this video, you taught to create smart sidebar by clicking rows to change it so that we can have a smart sidebar. Everything was fine till selection, i was not able to select the part where i want to insert the smart size bar, instead, it selected the whole page. Resulting in that the slider grides on top be shrunk as well.
The selection once i hit the row, it will auto select the full page, no idea why and i am not able to add the smart sidebar.
Full Page Selection- I cannot just select one slide or gride as it will alway become a full Page selection

When that happens, my top gride will disappear and warn me i cannot do it.

Please help.
Question 2 – I am not able to edit on Home Page by default, Tagdiv composer only appear on every other page i create but never the first page.
Any reason or did i do something wrong?
Hi,

Thanks for your help
Hi,
Maybe you are not creating it properly, or the smart sidebar option is not enabled in theme panel. Here you can see for example how you can create a smart sidebar or enable the feature
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
If you have already tried it like this, then it would be helpful if you could provide more information so we can better understand the issue. Or even a link to your website where the problem is present.
Thanks
Smart sidebar works fine in my home page with visual composer.
It is not working in the page I created with div composer
Hello efstraatios,
Ensure that you have right setup the Smart Sidebar according to our documentation and then if you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them, leave just only required plugins to be active, clear all the caches and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!

Hello,
In order to use the theme smart sidebar please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately none of the plugins you use are tested. If you want to use a standard smart sidebar,we recommend using the smart sidebar feature that is already integrated into the theme. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thank you!
You can just add adsense code to Theme Panel > Ads > Sidebar Ad
Turn on Theme Panel > Smart Sidebar
And drag [taDiv] Ad box to Sidebar from widgets
It should be work…

Hey there,
I’m trying to enable “smart sidebar” feature with custom sidebars that I’m putting together for individual posts. So far I’ve tried Custom Sidebars, which didn’t work at all, and settled for Content Aware Sidebars. The plugin works great, but the smart sidebar feature is now no longer working.
To get around this problem, I’ve tried disabling smart sidebar altogether and using Q2W3 Fixed Widget (which I’ve used with a lot of success in the past) but this plugin doesn’t seem to work with Newspaper.
Any ideas on how I can get the sticky sidebars working again?
Cheers,
Chris
hello,
Please use this guide to make a sticky sidebar: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ but please note it only works in an 1/3 column. not and a 1/2 column
Please create your rows in a 2/3 + 1/3 row setting as this is the way the builder was intended to be used: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Or better yet, use the brand new tagdiv composer that comes with newspaper 8: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Thank you!
Try
a) not using jetpack
b) test site with *no* ads running
c) remove all demo content
d) don’t use “number of likes” from FB/Twitter on your posts/pages or sidebar
(etc)
Everything you pile onto a page that goes to another site to grab stuff adds bloat.
Once you optimize a “lean” site, then start adding bells/whistles to the point it doesn’t die on speed. 🙂
(At least that’s what I do … )

when i chose smart list any post my side bar gone upper to my content from right side and post content behave wrongly after updating to v8
Hello allenwei812,
Before making your sidebars, please read our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/ because there you will see how this can be done. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ For Homepage, you should use the 2/3+1/3 layout and for 1/3 column you should use the Widgetized Sidebar.
Thanks for the message!

Hi,
If you are talking about the smart sidebar feature you can disable it in the theme panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/h8Zqz9yCsCCo
If you have a different problem, it would be very helpful if you could provide a link to your website where this is happening so we can inspect the problem.
Thanks
I am having an issue with the sidebar on posts, when it scrolls and the position goes to fixed. The sidebar ends up under the menu. This occurs when I am scrolling down, and then if I scroll back up, it adjusts to a normal position. Is there a way to fix this? I am used ad boxes, but not Google Adsense, which I saw does not work in the code.
1) I have tested the smart sidebar again and it works as expected. Make sure you add the class on the sidebar row like so:
https://www.screencast.com/t/8newXb7CyWe
2) sorry but our blocks and grids cannot have separate category for each post. The block sorting option is filtered as a whole, not as separate posts in the grid.
Thank you!

Hi Simion,
I just want to remove the right sidebar on my post pages as it covers the article texts:
See for example: http://www.forwardosmosistech.com/s-parameter-calculations-yield-negative-values-what-to-do/
When you scroll down on the page, a sidebar pops out from the right. This is the sidebar I want to remove.
I tried disabling the smart sidebar option from the theme panel but it doesn’t solve my problem.
Cheers
Mark
Hi,
The sidebar displayed on that post is not sticky from what I can tell. This setting from theme panel must be disabled – https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
A smart sidebar means that it will follow as you scroll, and always be into view. You can see an example here in the demo
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-microsoft-subsumes-open-tech-unit-back-inside-mothership/
Please correct me if I misunderstand what you are asking.
Thanks
