Hello,

The best thing to do when starting out with a new theme is to read the documentation as you will find much useful information: https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/
You can also check out our live demo to see the theme features in action: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ (in the menu under the features item)
Our theme comes with predefined content blocks you can add to your pages and sidebars. On poages you must use visual composer for it and for the sidebars you can use the widgets section of wp.
You can also check out our youtube channel for video tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv

Hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hello efaq,

1)Please notice that the custom menu would be your custom menu, created as you wish and then the custom button you have to add it to a page with Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/i834fsDw and there you can see the buttons for all your menu items.
2)So, I think that you understand as our theme uses a lot of modules/blocks which have a lot of thumbnails in our theme. If you are not using some blocks, you can deactivate from Theme panel the thumbnail which uses this type of blocks. For example, if you do not want to use block 3, you can turn off the module 1 and so let of forth.
3)Unfortunately, these columns come by default with our theme and you have no control about these because this is predefined. If you want to customize your footer section, you have to use the footer template style 5 because this is a custom template and you can add in it any widgets you wish in Footer 1,2,3. For more information about our footer template, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/

Thanks.

Hi,
If you use a standard visual composer element, you can use this css to remove the gap entirely:
.td-main-page-wrap{
padding-top:0px!important;
}
On your pages though you use revolution slider and you get a white border from that as well. You can try to see the test page I created on your site (set to private).
Please edit your slide and remove the padding from slide options.
Thank you!

Hello,

1) In order to remove the date and time only from a big grid, you can use css like so:
.td_module_mx5 .td-module-meta-info{
display:none!important;
}

Just add the code in the theme panel->custom css box.
2)unfortunately php 7 is not yet tested with our theme. We recommend version 6.
3) I’m not sure how you are implementing the news ticker, but it can be added in visual composer and filtered like so: http://screencast.com/t/SPUUdUoGG
Please provide an example of how you are implementing the news ticker and where so we can figure out how to help.
4) Hi, the mega-menu sub-categories are shown on the left in the newspaper theme. if you use newsmag, then they will be under the posts and there is no easy way to move them. (If you use newsmag, you also wrote in the wrong forum. I can’t tell as I can’t access your site.)

Thank you!

Hi Catalin,

I followed the instructions but still the gallery is not working as it is supposed to.
Now I did update the theme, visual composer and rev slider but still nothing.

Other issue is that after updating/reinstalling the visual composer and rev slider, I can’t activate them because I don’t have purchase code. There should be another update of rev slider but I can’t update because I don’t have purchase code.

I have sent you access to my website via email so you can check it out.

We’d really want to have the gallery fixed because we do have campaign right now for our canada categories.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I’ve been having trouble getting the Amazon Affiliate programme’s Responsive Search Widget to display on my site: https://affiliate-program.amazon.co.uk/gp/associates/promo/search-widget.html

An example page where the widget is embedded can be found here: http://bestforcats.co.uk/guest-posts/guest-post-surefeed-products-make-mealtimes-easier-cats/

Has anyone managed to get this working on their website? I don’t think this is a problem with the theme as such, but I’d be grateful to hear from other Newspaper users as to how they got it to display.

As it stands I’m (unsuccessfully) using the Ad Inserter plugin which is added as a widget on the sidebar, but the raw JavaScript block in Visual Composer failed to display the Amazon widget either.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, now I used up the “default demo”.
Wanting to redo everything I removed newspaper theme from my ftp server directly.
Then I opened wordpress and reloaded a new version of newspaper and activated theme “Classic Blog Demo”. I activated Visual composer in the theme pluggin Newspaper.
But nothing happens when I created a page, I want to select a template from existing default, nothing happens.
Could you help me, thank you

Same problem with my site. Posts do not open up in Visual Composer backend editor. So the problem is probably not specific to Xinga, but probably more Newsmag users experience it.

EDIT: I had a old version of VC. Update to 4.11 ( newest ) and it should work fine.

Hello rjohansen,

Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option for Big Grid and that means that you have to change the entire functionality of Big Grid and that involve custom work which is not a simple task, sorry! Another possibility for you would be to use a Slider from Visual Composer and then you have to set it to display one post, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/xThfmkcj6I

Thank you for your understanding!

Hello efaq,

1)As I have explained you above, the block buttons are made them with some custom rule. Also, please notice that the main element is WP Custom menu from Visual Composer, this have a custom class named .td-menu-blocks-custom Also, you have to make your own desired menu from Appearance->Menu from WP panel and then you have to use this visual Composer element with this custom class to get the Custom CSS design, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/i834fsDw -> http://screencast.com/t/Th9oEVLMM -> http://screencast.com/t/WWt2yabWiMv and as an example result -> http://screencast.com/t/7Mtx3fdFGNRd

2)So, please notice that our theme uses a lof of thumbs and sizes to display the featured images. Please check this -> http://screencast.com/t/mKgjef3g5UFF and there you can see a list with our modules and what kind of modules are used in our blocks and also, which of them are enabled or which not. Also, from the Thumbs on modules & Block, you will turn off some options for size and that size are used in some blocks that are active, the featured image will not be shown because the thumbs for this type of block are deactivated. I hope that you understand by explanation.

3)Also, if you want to add some link in our footer section, you have to use a footer template that allows you to make it as you wish, for example, the footer template style 5 and then you have to use a bit of HTML code to add a link, using this syntax -> http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

Thank you for your understanding!

Hi
This issue was caused by the new version of WP. Please update your theme using this guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update visual composer to the latest version using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please make sure that after the update you have version 4.11.2 of visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/hobX3PH5IsG
Thank you!

Hi

You can achieve that using a mega menu page which is also used on our demo. Here you can find our documentation for more details about setting up a page in mega menu: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-page-menu/
Basically you have to create your page in Visual Composer then add its id in indicated field. We use WP Custom Menu widget to create menus section. The page structure in Visual Composer could have this layout: http://screencast.com/t/qxGJVRsUxY1q and here is the page’s shortcode from VC http://pastebin.com/9qPjXswXhttp://screencast.com/t/Dup8p5g5

I hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi Hi !

1) and 3) The thing is, if I don’t customize there is no visual consistency. Ideally all the links should have the same color and the same hover color. Excluding things like the menu. It’s a pity that your theme – which I overall like – doesn’t provide the desirable level of control over these things, leaving the user in the need of customization, which has its problems.

If I take out the line of customized CSS causing this, the home page links will have a hover color with no consistency with the rest of the design. That’s what I am trying to fix here.

As you put it, either I accept a mandatory – not configurable – hover color or I will have to accept unexpected behaviors. None of these options sound very exciting 🙁

2) I disabled Photon and all plugins but Visual Composer, cleared browser cache. Issue remains. Then I checked the name of the file and which file the module is supposed to use. This is module MX8, so the 696 x 385 image is needed. I used FTP and downloaded the image. Inspected its size and it’s correct. The image with 696 x 385 is in the server.
What now?

Hello Natasha,

Please notice that this is a Visual Composer element and you can get like this -> http://screencast.com/t/3uvX1MsXjlb If you want that all your image to have the round corners, you have to use a bit of CSS code to do that. Please try to use img {border-radius:10px}.

Hope this helps!

Thanks.

Hello Torgut,

1)Unfortunately, I have checked your website and I saw that you have a lot of customizations. As you can see in this screenshot here -> http://screencast.com/t/2KVWPuCDaGYh this behaviour come from your additional custom CSS code -> http://screencast.com/t/2KVWPuCDaGYh If you want to remove it you have to remove from your custom CSS box, from Theme panel.
2)I have checked your source page again and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins which could cause a lot of unknown issues in theme. First of all, please try to disable the Photon module from Jetpack plugin because it seems that this type of plugin is a problematic one and create a lot of issue in our theme ->http://screencast.com/t/YBBe3mk5A Also, for better results, we recommend to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
3)Now, you have a lot of customizations with CSS that can affect your theme design. Also, please notice that when my colleague provided you a custom CSS code you did not have a category tag. Subsequently, you have added them and that general code will further affect the style of your tag. Please notice that this was your request at that moment -> http://screencast.com/t/HzKsKuLVqhU Please notice that any code you have added in your backend to fix some design styles and then you have changed them or have added other options will affect these and probably do not work as properly or what you want. Please try to check your custom CSS box, remove this part of the code and check the results.

Thanks.

Hi,
you have a js error on your site, most likely caused by a plugin conflict.
Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Then try it again.
Thank you!

Hello threesides,

Please ensure that you are using the latest version of Visual Composer (4.11.2), that come bundled with the latest version of the theme (6.7.2), clear all cache and check the results. Until now we do not have any bad reports in this regards and should work as properly. Also, please try to use the theme without some untested plugins (Tiny MCE is not tested with our theme) because these cold interfere with the theme and might create a lot of unknown issues. Also, if your problem is still there after these changes, try to make a fresh install to ruling out all of potential issues which could be appeared, in your previous installation.
Please try to make a fresh install of the theme and then only install the Visual composer version that comes with the theme. Please remove any other version from the plugins section (disable and remove) and then install it from here: http://screencast.com/t/DwZN21u0VR -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Also, please ensure that you have the latest version of the theme because there you will find the latest version of Visual Composer that come bundled with our theme.

Thanks.

Hi

Block’s layout can be corrected when it’s used on posts following this configuration:
– in Visual composer set a 2/3 row: http://screencast.com/t/KOy8eW1F
– insert this shortcode in do_shortcode function: http://screencast.com/t/xwyyFSQo
– add this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/i4cv7jhH7Vs

.single .td-pb-row .td-pb-row .td-pb-span8 {
width: 100%;
}

Thanks!

Hello Torgut,

1)I do not understand very good on what you are referring to in this case. So, I assume that you want to change the menu color when you do hover effect over these, like -> http://screencast.com/t/h7bbVHQU Please notice that this menu is called mega menu and you can only set from your panel. For more information about this, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mega-menu/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details, some useful screenshots so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
2)Please check the following topic because there was be discussed this issue and there it explains the entire system when the theme uses the images. Please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/resize-thumbnails-to-proper-size/
3)Unfortunately, this behavior is not come from our theme, sorry! It is most likely a plugin conflict which generates this behaviour. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, please all caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. Also, you can compare our demo with your website and you will see that to our demo it is not this behaviour with hover on the category tags -> it is the same effect.

Thanks.

Hi,
Please disable ALL plugins except visual composer. If you use wordfence, that is causing the theme panel to not save it’s settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cant-save-theme-settings/
If you still have issues with this, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect this issue. Please also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thanks.

Hi,
For some reason the theme simply does not use thumbnails on your site: http://screencast.com/t/CeC3IEtTSk It always uses the original image scaled down. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then use the force regenerate plugin to regenerate your thumbnails.
If you still have issues with this, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect this issue. Also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!

Hi

You can use do_shortcode function in category.php file to display a custom content for a specific category. First you have to create the content in Visual Composer, then switch in backend editor, copy the shortcode and paste it inside do_shortcode function. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/TjJpQicbChttp://screencast.com/t/1DvdbdCzzhttp://screencast.com/t/3Wl63bkLU

<?php
if (is_category('category-id/slug/name')) {
    echo do_shortcode('your-shortcode-goes-here');
}?>

You have to add in above condition the name/id/slug fur the category where you want to display your custom content.

I hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi,
In order to have the icons position side by side, you will have to assign an extra css class to the row in visual (the row that contains the icons) composer like so: http://screencast.com/t/pjVo354N and then use your custom class with css so you can target the element:
@media(max-width:767px){
.mycustomclass .wpb_column{
float:left!important;
width: 16.66666667%!important;
}
}

Thank you!

Hi

Here’s my website almost ready for launch. website

For some reason my blog posts are not showing “Read more” after the first few words. Can you tell me where the setting is to enable ‘read more”. Or is there something else I need to do when writing a post with Visual composer to insert that read more.

Also where would the settings be to set up how much text shows before the “read more” shows up.

I realize this is a VERY basic question. But I am stumped. (While I’m at it, how to I set the site to use www instead of just plusrowby.com Thanks!)))

Best

Rowby

Hello Natasha,

I suppose that you want to add an image with the external link for your front page. If you want to do this, you have to use a text block element from Visual Composer, add an image and then you will have to set a custom URL, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/KCG5VPATWt -> http://screencast.com/t/liI9SBBo5rNS
For your second request, please provide more details in this regard, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. Also, you can provide some useful screenshots for a good understanding.

Thank you for your message!
