Can’t wait 🙂
Hello,
I’m glad you solved. We working for the version 3 update, and in this update we want to rewrite the code a little to standard WordPress code.
Thanks for the message and Happy New Year!!!
Hello Marius,
Happy new year for you and the other memeber of your team!
I already did it but it would be great if I could put the shortcodes directly in the Theme options. I could mix the options for responsive ads of the theme with the professional management of the ads with a plugin.
Please, add this option in a future update.
Thank you for your great work! I wish you the best for this year!
Hi Radu!
Happy New Year 😀 When is V3 available?
Thanks
Thanks to all of you for believing in us and for using our products. It was very hard to get here but In less than a year we manage to make some good progress in the publishing niche and I think in 2014 we will finally deliver the product that we’ve always imagined.
I want to specially thank the community members that got involved here and helped others, we appreciate that a lot and we are still searching for a method to give back more to the community.
This year was a very interesting one and there were a lot of changes and challenges for all of us. We quit our main jobs, we managed to bring a new developer (Radu A.) on board with us and best of all we moved out of my spare room from my home 🙂 … we finally have an office space.
here are our goals for 2014:
– we want to bring another person to help us out on the product support side of things
– we will make all of our products in a more wordpress way (we heard you!)
– we will make a lot of efforts to support the DIY crowd – the code will be written in a way that it will be easier to understand, the documentation will also be aimed at people who want to modify the theme. I’m also learning english to speak on videos
– we will keep the focus on usability. I know on the newspaper theme we didn’t got all the aspects right but expect an update soon (v3)… it will fix most of the usability problems.
– we will keep listening to you and we’ll continue to pay attention to areas where you have problems with our themes – we know this is the most important step to make a great product. We first have to identify the problems before we fix them.
– we will keep doing things our own way. I personally think there is a lot of room for improvements and there is still a lot of work to be done in the publishing niche.
– We want to be a startup that is open and with no hierarchy. We take decisions together.
What are your goals for 2014?
We wish you all the best and may 2014 be the best year!
Marius P., Radu O. and Radu A.
Marius and Christopher… Shareaholic WAS working for me fine. At the same time that shareaholic was working, I had the basic social sharing buttons from the theme as well, so it looked kinda funny. Once I had turned the social sharing buttons OFF in the theme options, it turned the original theme’s share buttons off, but it also turned shareaholic’s sharing buttons and related content off as well. So i went ahead and turned the sharing feature back on in the theme customization section and sure enough the original theme’s share buttons came back on, but now shareaholic is nowhere to be found on the page. Not quite sure what I’m doing wrong, but it seems like this is an issue… I will try out the adthis plugin and see if I have any different results and update everyone…
Holiday PageSpeed Fun Report Update!
Just as a pagespeed comment, I was testing mod_pagespeed, vs your tagdiv cache experimental, and W3 with page cache on, and found that mod_pagespeed on server with memcache, optcache and eaccelerator, seem to be about the same effect. What this means for most WordPress folks is quite simple: use a hosting provider that supports mod_pagespeed (e.g., GoDaddy now supports it with htaccess local config options — NOT an advert for them, just anecdotal) may be better option than messing around with all the various plugins that try to replicate that server-side functionality.
To Radu and all … who are wondering about the “render blocking blah blah” errors, this was one of the suggested solutions for WP (note the issue is common to ALL WP themes frankly due to the way the header works for most themes based on “traditional” HTML practice, 2 years ago nobody really cared about this issue!):
(QUOTED from WordPress.org discussion, “wpgeekster”)
The reason you are getting render blocking message from google is because your javascript is being called in the header. In your wp_register_script() function and in your wp_enqueue_script() function you must include true for the $in_footer argument. If you include the $in_footer argument, you must also include all the other arguments.
See:
http://wp.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-include-javascript-and-css-in-your-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script
(END QUOTE)
From same discussion:
(QUOTED from “manuelkuhs”)
Here’s what I figured out about how to eliminate all render-blocking JS & CSS:
Install W3 Total Cache
Go to Minify
Use the “help” wizard that you can see as a button near the top
Accept the suggestions without making changes. This will combine all your CSS files into 1, and all your JS files into 1, 2 or 3, depending where you load them (if you load all in the same area, e.g. in the <head>, you’ll only get 1 combined file).
Set all JS to “Non-blocking using Async”.
Now test your site. If everything works, the only blocking CSS/JS file left should be your combined CSS file, and nothing else.
Most likely some JS functions won’t work properly anymore. If this is the case, it gets a bit more complicated.
In this case, try the following:
Remove all the JS files in the Minify settings of W3
Open the source of your functioning page where no JS files are combined and manually add to W3 Minify ONLY the JS files found in the header (since these are the ones “above the fold”) and IN THE ORDER that they exist in your source file. Try this. If it works, try moving them all into the <body> or just before the </body> using the Minify JS settings.
In my case, I had a strange issue whereby combining jquery.js with the other JS files broke many js functions that depend on jquery even though they loaded after. To get around this I made jquery.js load on its own after <body>, and made all the others load combined just before </body>, with everything set to load using async.
Using this method, the only “above the fold” problem I have is the combined CSS sheet.
If your combined CSS is small, you can try inlining the entire thing.
If not, the only way around this that I currently know is to manually inline only the relevant parts of this combined CSS, and then to load the combined CSS in the footer using JS.

Hello,
We will update today the changelog, but are only some small fixes
Hello,
About the hover image, this is not an easy task, sorry about that.
Yes, you can remove the revolution plugin is you don’t use it.
default images will be available soon. Other things we have it on todo list for the following updates.
You can simple add other icons in menu adding <img src="your image" /> on the buton
Thanks for understanding.
was this fixed in the dec 24th update
I don’t see a change log for that
V3?! 🙂
@r1kay hello,
in the latest update – the one from 23 I’ve changed the code that re sizes the videos. Now all the videos all full responsive even on re size, device rotation etc. To change the ratio of the videos you can try here in this file: http://screencast.com/t/YXPkqBSXQ
basically the height is 0.6 * video width.
I tried to make them smaller in height but he controls are not hiding. This issue is even with the default wordpress embeds… so I don’t think it’s from us.
Radu from tagDiv
Hello,
1. I’ve got some good news and some bad news… The good news: I’ve tested our latest version of the theme with the latest version of facebook plugin and it seems to work now. The comment box works as expected and the pagination also works as expected.
The bad news is that I don’t know who fixed what… either we changed something or they change something or wp 3.8 changed something.
Can you try with the latest plugin ? and if you have problems with pagination we need to figure out a way to update your site.
2. shares in loop… in a blog like page or where do you want them to appear?
I know some of our clients worked a lot on their sites… including you. We will try to assist you to make it work ok.
If you have support questions / issues please open a new thread 🙂 . I will be back with more details about version 3 soon.
@mmcmsp I will see what we can do about that
@BigN0701 sorry for the delay, I hope you solve the problem
@Marija1m1 It was not resolved 🙂 it’s a issue that is hunting us for quite some time …. it drive me crazy and it’s hard to debug because it appears just sometimes.
@sbo I will update the theme forest details page shortly.

Hello,
I would like to include my Linkedin Company profile to the social networks widget. Would it be possible to include it in a future update? Thank you for your great work!
Looking forward to this!
*What was just released on the version that was available for download on December 23rd? It doesn’t mention it in the theme download or area with other updates listed.
After the theme update 2.1.1 then theme – options or theme – sidebar links returned the error:
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
How fix this?
Hello,
1. I see that you have an error in console http://screencast.com/t/TYxSLNIu3I could be from this.
2. Update the theme, is from a stretch settings from a category background. Pleaswe check the category settings and set to tile, because you use a tiled background and on category is setup default as stretch.
Thanks
Hello,
You can use this code
<?php $u_modified_time = get_the_modified_time('U');
if ($u_modified_time >= $u_time + 86400) {
echo "last update ";
the_modified_time('F jS, Y');
echo " at ";
the_modified_time(); }
?>Thanks
Hello,
@Christopher we will implement default ‘fallback’ image in the next update.
@job78 you can use dailymotion video there.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Is there a way to show a default image on homepage when there is no uploaded images inside the post? If not, it would be a nice feature for next updates 😉
By the way, will it be possible to add Dailymotion videos in the “Featured video” feature?
Thank you very much for this awesome theme.
