- NewsmagCustom Post Type Support
I installed this theme on my website, SportsRants.com, when I did so it did a number of strange things forcing me to revert back to my prior theme:
– Would not allow me to Edit Posts OR Pages (It simply went to a blank page)
– Did Not Display any content on the home page (I could not find where to even set this up)
– All my existing content had no featured image set, however when I reverted to my prior theme it showed the previously set featured image.
I installed the theme and installed the ‘Magazine Demo’. From there it simply created issues. I do like the layout and with my other theme being limited I thought this was the best route to go. I just cannot wrap my head around the issues I am experiencing.
Would it matter that I have Buddypress deactivated at the moment? I’m not sure how to resolve the issue and how to setup the homepage
Hi
This image seems more clear because it’s size is bigger, please check these screens: http://screencast.com/t/0PRf36xfRmb – http://screencast.com/t/aZl35QK17 Newsmag uses different thumbs then Newspaper. New uploaded images are directly cropped as Newsmag requires, while the old ones will be used to their full size if the required thumb is missing.
A possible way to increase image quality is to define bigger thumbs in td_config.php: http://screencast.com/t/TbMYJBef If you make any changes in this file you will need to regenerate the thumbnails in order to be applied: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ You can also try to increase the compression rate: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-increase-or-decrease-wordpress-jpeg-image-compression/
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Ok thanks for the reply.
I found some strange issues on mobile:
1/ In the list shop section, the products images show on computer but not on mobile:
http://www.virtualmagie.com/boutique
or http://www.virtualmagie.com/categorie-produit/tours/
2/ In quick edit, on 3 articles, I used the featured element checkbox and clean the cache.
But on mobile on the homepage, it is still the 3 last articles published which are on top.
3/ In the menu, I don’t have the sub elements for the articles.
In the URL you give me, we clearly see that it is seems to work for you (see the image).
So I assume, it is a bug.

Hi,
your images should be at least the size of the biggest thumb from that grid. Your site could not show the correct thumbnail if you have not regenerated them after switching themes. In this case please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hello,
You can edit the blocks exactly like on the sidebars in the widgets area. For this you need to edit the page where the elements are and press the pencil button to access the block settings This guide should help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for your appreciation, Your grids do not seem to use thumbnails but rather the full images. That is why thumbs do not display properly. Please activate thumbs from here: http://screencast.com/t/lvKsDY4vQ and then regenerate your thumbnails. You can use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hello byothe,
I have checked your website and I saw that your post template style 8 not add the backstretch class for the background image (featured image), as you can see in our demo, here -> http://screencast.com/t/oDTBd7FzNT Do you ensured as you have a featured image set for this post?..because it is too strange this behaviour. Also, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
This is strange but recurring; direct links to articles are occasionally being reported as under construction or 404s but only through Facebook so the link is working fine and also if i put it through a shortner then its cool, the more i top the more i realise it might be a Facebook “thing’ but just incase others are having a similar issue
Hey,
Yes, you are correct about updating visual composer but I am not left with a second issue. Thankyou!
Nevertheless, the update has left my front page Header Background Colour transparent. Strangely enough on refresh it it appears black but 0% opacity appears within a second.
I know this as I changed it to red during testing. All plugins were disabled and cache refreshed.

hi there Bogdan B. I didn’t want to share my site publicly here, so I’ve emailed contact@tagdiv.com with my website and also my licence. Please look into this asap.
Social icons are missing, and strange characters are in the boxes, the “up to top” icon is not showing up and the mobile theme is irresponsive to colour adjustments on from the theme panel.
Hi there,
I have recently updated to version 7.3 and noticed today that after updating and clearing the cache (and all browser caches) that my author and date meta info on posts is appearing disjointed. It’s very strange because I was able to get it back to normal with continued cache clearings and browser refreshes, and then it would come back without warning (both logged in and out of WordPress dashboard). I have no idea what is going on. You can see a couple examples below.
Here is what it should look like:
http://www.drbillsukala.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Screen-Shot-2016-07-29-at-5.53.37-PM.png
And here it is when it gets disjointed:
http://www.drbillsukala.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Screen-Shot-2016-07-29-at-5.53.23-PM.png
Note: the above happens in all smart phone browsers in Android and iPhone. I don’t think it’s a text size issue because it was working fine before the last update.
On Google Chrome it is disjointed as well.
I have checked the td-module-meta-info in the source php files from before and after the update and they are the same.
If you go to my website (same as in the link URLs) and click on some of the articles, you might get to see it live.
Would welcome any input you may have. Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
B
Hello,
Please read this topic about the strange symbols replacing the icons: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/strange-chinese-symbols-replaced-icons-and-arrows/ and apply the fix provided there.
Thank you!
Hello,
I assume this could be a possible fix: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/strange-chinese-symbols-replaced-icons-and-arrows/
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately our theme has no such option. Each element uses it;s own thumbnail size. These are different for every element. Here is a list of every thumb used in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
These guides might also help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
Thank you!
That’s so strange.
I tried sharing on my account following the instructions you sent over and still encountered the same problem.
I also tried the same process on a different device from a different Facebook account and, again, encountered the same problem.
Is there any additional help you can provide? Am I missing something?
I tried many different plugins, i have some common problems.
I used a few membership plugins, i protected some pages, when i logged out i could still see the content which was protected.
I used a plugin from codecanyon which was to show as specific menu to logged in and specific to logged out. So whenever i was logged in and again logged out, i could still see the menu which was assigned for logged in users even after i was logged out.
This was related to the theme and not plugin issue, as twenty fourteen theme would work fine.
Can you suggest me a fix?
Strange think with theme on my test site.
Using 2 new installation,
on first one installed newspaper with default demo data.
on second one, installed only the theme with no demo data.
First one is perfetct and work on ie, chrome and firefox.
The second one work only with chorme and firefox, with ie looks like if thw Windows is smaller. All widget go on new line, and logo + AD on header do not stay on same line.
I know is difficult for you without see the problem, but do you have alerady receive a problem like mine.

Hello,
I have checked your site and the images seem to display properly. Some thumbs need to be regenerated (https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/) but I could not find any images that are not displaying. Please provide more details if you still have this problem.
Disappearing images are mostly caused by plugin conflicts so please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Thank you!
Hello,
We only recommend using the 3 highlighted row layouts with our theme as the blocks were designed to only work with those columns: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
As for the images, you will have to regenerate your thumbnails for them to fit properly inside the blocks. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Hi,
Any time I try to add a new page, I get this strange message and cannot add a new page?
This is the message:
——————————————–
Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.
———————————————-
Any idea what could be causing this.
Best Regards
Hello,
If you switched from a different themes, than the newspaper theme did not create it;s specific thumb sizes yet so you will have to regenerate your thumbnails. Please use this guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Thank you!
Alright, actually doing this my self is faster than searching for the solution which is a bit strange.
I have worked out how to hide the title, just like before I placed it in the custom CSS under the Newspaper theme control panel. This is what I put in there,.sticky .entry-title {display: none;}.
So all I can see now is the text I am putting on the actual page. My next step is to find the code that will display the titles and date, of the latest 5 or so articles, one line break after the other. As well as working out how I will do the editors picks in a similar way. (I want that code sitting on the sticky page)

Hi Bogdan,
I did the changes in the header.php exactly in the way you said in the screencast. I changed single_template 1, updated my website to see if it was worked, but it didn´t. I did it with the single_template 2, it didn´t work as well… I did the changes in all singles_templates exactly in the same way of the screencast, but nothing has changed im my blog. This is strange I know, I tried with facebook comments plugin for wordpress to check if the problem was with the facebook app, but with facebook comments plugin it worked, so the problem is not the app.
I reviewed with a lot of attention the codes, I moved the closing php tag to the end of the code like you said, I just replaced the code, I let the space, everything was in the same way, but nothing changed.
I’m using the babyblog demo as a base of my website, I don´t know if it has some relation with that.
Thanks again!
Thanks to everybody for the discussion. Special thanks for Andrei for the instruction how to switch of animation in Opera!
I very well understand how difficult it is to make any theme compatible with variety of browsers, especially when they are built on different technologies. I am sure, Andrei, that all your customers (including me) have the latest versions of browsers. But we are people who build sites, not that who look them 🙂 And we do not have power to force our users for incessant update towards latest versions of browsers. Especially when some of them do not understand what browser is 🙂 I would close my eyes on any minor incompatibility issues (like pictures are not on the place, slider is now working etc.), but I can’t do it when users can’t see the site at all! When people call you and say “I can’t see your site anymore. What happened?”, you have to find the solution.
Of course, I could think of some hack how to fix this behavior. But you know the theme code from A to Z. And I am sure that your solution is much better than any I could suggest myself.
I got used to the fact that Newspaper support us really one of the best at the market. That is why it was very strange for me to get the response like “this is not our problem”. I wish for Newspaper to remain the world best theme with the world best support 🙂
Kind regards,
Dmitry Sandakov
Hi Tagdiv,
I have the latest version of Newspaper7.2 installed with a header style 10.
I dont have any background images or color selected – but unfortunately the headers and footers and not going full width.
This is the site:
https://www.mascupon.com.pe/masmagazine/
Strangely enough my Spanish version of the website still running Newspaper4 does the full width perfectly. It also obviously has no background selected:
https://www.mascupon.es/masmagazine/
Do you any ideas what the problem could be?
