Hi,
1. You need to set a excerpt on title ( Excerpts introduction -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/ ).
2. Please check our documentation for Filter Tab -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
3. Unfortunately our theme do not have this option of photo grid.
4. Please use this custom css
.td-footer-wrapper div .td_block_template_4 .td-block-title > * {
background-color: #ff4136;
color: #fff;
}
.td-footer-wrapper div .td_block_template_4 .td-block-title > *:before {
border-color: #ff4136 transparent transparent transparent!important;
}
set it in newspaper>Theme panel>Custom code>Custom css
https://www.screencast.com/t/PqwsUKDkv
5. Please check the settings from Settings>Discussion -> https://www.screencast.com/t/zuLKrsGAs3g
Unfortunately for removing the website and links is no option in tagDic Cloud Library , you can use some custom css to hide some of them, if those are not important.
6. Unfortunately our theme do not have this type of menu, maybe you can use a plugin to achieve that
-> https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/hamburger/
7. Single post templeats can be apply only on posts, pleasee check our documentation for post templates-> https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
8. You can set in page with tagDiv Composer a post loop and set the pagination to infinite load -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
9. you can set a gif as background, but the gif need to be set ass full size https://www.screencast.com/t/1jxLwVne2Vp
10. Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized.

Hi, I am running a travel blog with newspaper theme. After installing newspaper theme on the website, I am facing several speed issues including cache & images.
GTMetrix shows following error-
1- Leverage browser caching
2- Serve scaled images
I checked the forum several times. The cache issue resolves temporarily but the image issue (Serve scaled images) remains same.
Please check to this & tell me how to make this clear.
Hi,
You can try couple of things, first activate the mobile theme of Newspaper, that will bring the speed upto/over 45 (mobile).
Next you need to check the render blocking scripts.
I used this tutorial to bring those down. (you need to understand coding for a little while)
https://searchtides.com/eliminate-render-blocking-javascript-css-fold-content/
Also I am using lot of plugins to get the work done, You can also check some for yourself.
JCH Optimize is a good one to bring the speed index up. But remember if with plugins, the website might not work properly. So, keep experimenting.
I use WP Super chache, since any other cache plugin does not make the new stories appear, and you would end up cleaning the cache every time you post a new story/article. It is not the best Cache plugin, but seems to be the only one working with Newspaper.
We also use WP Smush Pro to keep the images size low.
Some of the plugins might reduce the desktop site index, as it puts more load on server, so make sure you have good RAM and CPU on the server.
Newspaper requires good amount of resources to be quick, no matter what anyone says you need good amount of RAM and CPU for your site to be fast if you are using this theme :).
However, Newspaper is much better than other themes we have seen, as they keep it updated and their support is excellent. Only thing missing here is infinite article load and infinite smart list load. Probably we will see it in the next update. That will make bounce rate lower and also time spend on site higher.
Hope all this helps!

Hi,
The included mobile theme plugin is more optimized for mobiles, it will simplify the website and provide a noticeable improvement in terms of speed on mobile. .
Each page will require two versions. For desktop you can use the page builder, but when viewed on mobile and the mobile plugin is active, the page will be empty.
Page builder content is not displayed by the mobile plugin. Mobile pages have to be simple, created within the mobile editor. This will greatly increase mobile performance. The settings of the plugin are kept to a minimum as well, many elements are predefined.
This plugin is optional, when not active the same content from desktop will be displayed on mobile as well (responsive version). So you can simply not use the mobile plugin.
The documentation for it is here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,
I have checked your website on Google Page Speed and it seems to be very fast, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/xtLSqTLcdp Where is the problem?
Thanks.
Hi,
There are some scripts that need to be load at the beginning of pages, if you force theme ( like in above example ) your website can be broke.
You can remove the settings you made in theme file for tagDiv Speed Booster and clear all cache in this way all scripts will be load like before.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized.
Notice that is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services are not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit our requirements.
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to minify the style.css file and we cannot recommend any plugins with this functionality because is not tested with our theme. For minifying this file, we are using CloudFlare for our demo and works fine. If you want to read other views from our users, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tip-how-to-easily-minify-your-css-without-breaking-your-site/
Also, check all of your Ad Spots and if you have entered any suspicious code through them, remove all of them and check the results without them.
One of our top members here on the forum wrote his own optimization tutorial here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/ and here -> https://www.infophilic.com/get-almost-100-pagespeed-newspaper-theme/
Basically, these are the theme requirements

Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Sorry but there is no simple method to add a swipe button to open a the mobile menu.
If you know your way around coding, you can give this method a shot: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2264072/detect-a-finger-swipe-through-javascript-on-the-iphone-and-android
Unfortunately we will not be able to help as we cannot offer any customization services at the moment.
Adding css to the child theme will not increase page loading speed.
In order to make your site faster please use the following guides:

– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-chriss-custom-optimizations-for-functions-php-etc/
We also recommend this Cloudflare configuration

For speedbooster you can disable the compatibility check like so:

Thank you!
Hi,
Is possible tat one of your plugins to make that conflict, please make sure that all plugins that you have are set well.
Also we recommend WP Super Cache.
If the problem persist please deactivate all plugins , clear all cache , and try again ( in this way you can identify the plugin that cause this problem ).
Also you can try to optimize your website.

Hi,
@Rob576 Looks like there are a couple of images not found (404). These can slow down the loading speed of the website considerably. The mobile menu will be accessible as soon as the page is finished loading.
One of them is in then homepage, the thumbnail from a video in the playlist which was removed by YouTube
– https://www.screencast.com/t/BYOjOdhf
You could remove that video from the playlist.
The other image I believe it is set here – https://www.screencast.com/t/DJBJExyx6sc
Check there and remove/replace the image found there.
After doing this check if this improves the loading speed.
@Epic From what I can find online deferring jquery can break the website, the theme or plugins which depend on it being loaded early. For example in this guide it is recommended to exclude it from being deferred and keep loading it in the site’s header

Hi,
We ran the developers page speed test by Google and it has aksed us to do couple of things to fasten things up.
How can we do the following? Any options in the theme?
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gadgetbridge.com%2F&tab=mobile
websites: http://www.gadgetbridge.com
1) Eliminate render-blocking resources
2) Defer offscreen images
3) Defer unused CSS
4) Serve images in next-gen formats (does newspaper support webp image format?, I think I read somewhere it does not)
5) Minimize main-thread work and Reduce JavaScript execution time
Because of these the google mobile traffic has become lower, is there an update coming which is going to take of these?
Thanks

Hi,
I have inspected the website, there is no such error at the moment, or other errors
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ZE5CvXl7c7
404 errors on website resources can indeed potentially slow down the loading speed, but everything seems in order from what I can see.
Thanks
