Hi,
Just updated to 6.6.4 and got the following issues right now:
1. Date warning
This warning is below the post and when post date is activated.
Warning: date() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/domains/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php on line 507
“>
2. There are squares and japanese characters
The social buttons and ‘next-previous’ buttons are visible as squares and japanese characters in chrome. Other browsers are fine. I’ve tested chrome on other devices. I’ve tried this suggestion which doesn’t work out.
3. Comment title
When the ‘no comments’ is checked on pages, the comment form is invisible, but the header ‘no comments’ is still there. how to hide this?
Thanks in advance.
JB
Hello JBH,
1) Good to update to latest version but also remember to update the included plugins too! Please update your theme to the latest version using this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Also, update your plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/. Remove the current version and install the new version which comes with the theme. Clear all cache and try it again and see how it works and check if the error reappears.
2)This kind of problem might be caused by the conflicting plugins. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer and instal only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. Also, if you use CDN files, please purge them and disable this option and check it again and see how it works.
3)If you want to exclude ‘no comments’, it is necessary to use a bit of CSS to hide it. Please try the code below and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td-comments-title-wrap {
display:none;
}
Hope that helps and let us know how it goes!
If you need more assistance in this regard, please provide your website URL and provide more details about your desired changes.
Thank you for the message!
I really need a fix for 3#! I reported the Comment title issue weeks ago. Any updates on the progress?
The above fix isn’t appropriate because we enable comments on most posts. We do not enable comments on pages, but still see the comments header. Also if we disable comments on a post, the header should not be displayed, it causes confusion for our readers and looks unprofessional.
Hello gbachman,
We know about this problem and I have added this on our list to find a better implementation for comments when are disabled, till then please make a backup of your current comments.php file http://screencast.com/t/01T9vxoNa and then replace with this content – http://pastebin.com/e7wy2ham
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi Catalin,
The issues above are solved thanks to your support!
New challenges are here to come 😉
1. The visual composer text block font size is different on posts and pages. At posts it’s correct, at pages the font is to small. You can try it yourself and see the difference when you paste the HTML code below on a page, and on a post.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am text block. Click edit button to change this text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
2. I’ve upgraded from the old v4 to the new v6. In the old version the i was used to edit text with ‘quote’ options. unfortunately they are gone in v6. Is there any possibility to use them again?
example: [quote_center]text[/quote_center]
Thanks again.
JB
skip point 1, solved it already 🙂
just point 2. please.
Thanks
Hi Catalin,
I updated recently to 6.6.4. All is OK except for the header main menu. I´m using the default style but it looks different. the grey shadow below the menu disappeared.
see my site http://www.midronepro.com
Thanks for your support.
Hello,
@JBH, we removed the quotes shortcodes, we use HTML with classes now. The quotes are not updated by the script, sorry. We tried to add them but on some cases, there was a chance for errors to appear an we decided not to include them in the script. From now till then, the quotes you can set it from your editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Y8Uuz5xP
Try to add the following code at the end of the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/OWxqEsYVK – http://pastebin.com/NZEJsWQZ
@midronepro, if you want to achieve that gradient border, please try the code below and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
.td-header-gradient:before {
background: transparent url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAAMBAMAAABRpcpkAAAAD1BMVEUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABPDueNAAAABXRSTlMGAhQQCyEd++8AAAAUSURBVAjXY1AAQgMgdABCCBAAQQAT6AFRBPHcWgAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==');
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/5ouxZHIMpQ
Thank you for the message!
Gracia Catalin!
One last question (I think)
BIGGRID1 is displaying images not right when the image is not high enough
http://www.screencast.com/t/492biuAb
Is there any option to stretch images to fit the square?

Hello JBH,
Our theme uses a lot of predefined thumbnails in blocks and modules. If you check the Theme panel->Block settings area you can see the list with all dimension of the thumbs wich is used in the theme and which elements -> blocks/modules uses -> http://screencast.com/t/tQuimSer9 If you want to exclude the cropping system wich you have to use the right dimension for your images.
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
