Hi,
@Sparton05
1. You can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/jR1sfFPZpJ
.page .td-grid-wrap {
padding: 20px 0px 0px 0px;
}
Please provide your site url and also more details about this gap if this is not what you mean.
2. Try this custom css for slider z-index:
.rev_slider_wrapper {
z-index: 0 !important;
}
If this doesn’t work please provide your site url.
3. Please make sure that you create a megamenu properly – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-the-megamenu/
When you set a category megamenu you don’t have to add submenu items. For parent category(with subcategories) set as megamenu all subcategories will appear automatically.
If you still have issues with it please provide a link so we can take a look.

Please check this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active and also clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Also please make sure that you use the latest theme update (1.7.1 – you use Newsmag theme) and also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. Use thsi guide if you need to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ Let me know how it goes.
Also please post your issues in newsmag section – https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newsmag/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version(1.7.1). If you need to update please use this guide(FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and update also the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Update:
For point 2 I actually found a solution. It was just a question of not activated jetpack plugin.
Still for 1a and 1b I need a solution.
Thanks!
Just to update you all, in case anyone else is having this issue … it was the “popular over 7 days” widget we were using in the sidebar that was taking the site down whenever we have traffic spikes. I haven’t experienced any issues since removing that particular widget.
With it, we can barely handle 1k-2k pageviews an hour, but after removing the widget, one day we were experiencing a traffic spike and were able to serve about 8,000 pageviews per hour with ZERO issues.
Hi,
Please make sure that you also try this without using additional plugins, leave just theme’s Visual Composer and Social Counter plugin’s active (make sure you also empty all caches) and the W3 Total Cache plugin using just page cache: https://forum.tagdiv.com/w3-total-cache-configuration/ then test again.
If you still get the same behavior when you update a post please let us know and provide your admin login details at contact@tagdiv.com so we can have a closer look at this. Please also include a link to this tread in your message and let us know how if goes.
Thanks
Hi,
The option for page ID to be megamenu is added only for Newsmag for the moment, but this feature will be available also Newspaper 5 version.
The functionality and performance are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another, Newspaper’s grid width is 1170px while Newsmag’s width comes around 1021px. Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, as well as some other features like smart sidebar feature,smart lists or some of the post templates. We’re also working on a major update for Newspaper (v5.0) which will include most of the features from Newsmag.
Thanks!

Hi,
@unplug.tips
We’re not aware of any of this. We will investigate this in the near future and keep in touch with envato to clarify this and if something is wrong within the theme we’ll fix it asap.
Thanks for keeping us updated on this!
Hi,
You can find version 2.10 in /plugins folder from files that you have downloaded from themeforest.
The plugin was changed to work with YouTube’s API V3, so please update to V 2.10.
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, we have renamed some shortcodes in version 1.5 – http://screencast.com/t/moj0NT9CKvX
So the renamed widgets have to be re added to each sidebar after this update. Make sure that you backup your database and if possible get the widget list from your sidebars.
Rename the short codes via SQL: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-newsmag-to-1-5/
An alternate solution is to rename the shortcodes manually in your pages: http://screencast.com/t/Da8k0HHtSD
Thanks!
Hi, yesterday I blogged live updates about an Bomb alert at an tv event and had several thousand visits on this article. http://starzip.de/gntm-finale-bombendrohung
But whenever I updated the article/ post, my post count jumped back to around 60.
I have Ajax post count enabled and I’m using a caching plugin.
Yep. The only fix is to not use theme panel “over rides” for default colors, and make those changes directly to the style.css file.
Otherwise what is basically happening is
a) main CSS loads
b) CSS over-rides load
as you might expect in many situations due to the complexity of certain pages; especially with complex home page, and complex mega-menu — there is a couple msecs delay in there.
Also avoid using child theme on top of that since all child themes are basically redirects from one theme to another — which Google doesn’t recommend — but WordPress has made this their standard practice. Best to just edit the main theme, since with major theme updates, the child theme needs changes too and defeats purposes of using child theme to avoid not having to re-apply changes.
Much like WooCommerce — changes are done to functions.php — and one has to reapply them each time there is update.
Anyway — that’s been my experience. 🙂
Ok, Just had the update from a guy called Krystian Wojcik at Envato. He writes the following.
Sorry for the confusion, we do allow the authors to add Google analytics box to their themes but it needs to be included as a plugin.
Sorry for my mistake
So now I’m more confused than ever lol
Hi,
I’ve just update the theme and it tell me to update TagDiv Social Counter plugin. I’ve got the 2.7 version and i’m looking for the latest version, where can i find it ?
Thank’s
Hi,
Do you have any css customization?
If you use latest version of the theme(4.6.3) did you update from an older version? Di you used patch or a fresh install?
I can provide you css to fix this, but may cause cause another issues if you have custom css or did not updated properly. Also please first check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check if you still have these issues.
If you want you can use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css after you check what I asked above and without plugins: http://screencast.com/t/PzhbPITU7
.td-g-rec-id-header .adsbygoogle {
position: relative;
top: 0;
right: 0;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.top-header-menu li a:before {
top: -2px;
}
Thanks!
Hi,

Hi,
That is not possible, unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for this just for module titles/excerpts.
We will consider this for future updates tough but if you really need this we suggest you get a freelancer to implement it for you.
Thanks

Hi,
You can find Visual Composer plugin in the theme’s files that you have downloaded from themeforest in /plugins folder. The latest version provided and tested with the theme is 4.4.4 version. Update it using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Like I said above check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, empty cache and see if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
We have this on our todo list and we’ll fix it in the next theme update.
Thanks
Hi,
We haven’t tested the Facebook plugin with the theme so unfortunately I can’t say for sure however I believe an option regarding the this should be in the plugin as og:image:width, og:image:height properties aren’t usually added by social plugins so there should be an option present for this in plugin’s configuration.
Please let me know if you have any updates on this and also provide your site’s URL.
Thanks
