980px gone = My revenue gone.

Let me get this straight. Your customers provide you with feedback regarding the problems they are having with very specific aspects of the theme while in 980px mode. Your solution was not to fix these things, but to simply depreciate the mode that had problems all together?

Thanks to this, I’ve just lost several hundred dollars a month in revenue because I can’t serve background ads to all of the PC screen sizes that read my site.

A+ effort, lads.

980 is deprecated in general, if I understand it right. Chris Simmons was saying in other threads that they are likely preparing for the new grid sizes of Bootstrap 3.

A minute of Googling reveals:

Old break points: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html (980 mentioned)
New break points: http://getbootstrap.com/css/ (970 mentioned)

Hi,

We plan to rebuild the frontend in the future (next 2-3 months) and we had to make this move. We also plan to build a plugin that adds the removed section for users who need it. A temporary solution would be to use the previous version of the theme, if you need it send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , specify the request and we will send it to you.
Sorry about this and for the inconvenience.

Thanks

Why has 980px been removed?!

We always switch the site to 980px wide whenever we’ve sold a “Homepage Takeover” which includes a background ad. Without that there isn’t the space to display enough room for advertisers.

Please tell me you are bringing this back. I love this theme but this is an absolute dealbreaker and I am not looking forward to trying to find another theme to use because you’ve inexplicably removed a core feature….

You need to provide users with an option for a narrower repsonsive site. It doesn’t have to be 980 but it has to be narrow enough so that those of us who need to sell that space can do so.

Hi,

We are sorry about this, unfortunately we had to do it. You can use the previous theme version in which you will have this setting, we can also offer you a refund if this doesn’t suits you. If you need the previous theme version files send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , specify the request and we will send it to you.
Sorry about this and for the inconvenience.

@Lucian

So when you say

We plan to rebuild the frontend in the future (next 2-3 months) and we had to make this move. We also plan to build a plugin that adds the removed section for users who need it. A temporary

Does that mean that you will be bringing this feature back in a few months time?

If you’re not going to bring this feature back I’m going to be stuck on a version of the them that is gradually going out of date…

Hi,

You will have to add a css class to the sidebar for this which you will use to add a border between content and the sidebar like this: http://screencast.com/t/Odbfr3tX

This is the css you can use if you are using a widgetised sidebar:

.page .td-page-wrap .span4 .wpb_widgetised_column {
border-left: 2px solid #4db2ec;
padding-left: 50px;
}

For the post pages you have this class which you can use to add the border: http://screencast.com/t/Gx4TpbQsU

.td-post-sidebar {
border-left: 2px solid #4db2ec;
padding-left: 50px;
}

Use the method from the topic I have pointed you below to add classes to the sidebars used for other templates and add the border using those classes.
I have posted here how you can add a custom class to the sidebar: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/control-of-widget-headerslines-on-sidebar/#post-19605

Thanks

I’m using 980 too, tell me please if it will be back in sometime or not? As i got it i shouldn’t update a new version if i want to use 980, right? What is the latest version with this feature, 4.2.2 or later one?

Post count: 6600

hi,

Yes, you are right the 4.2.2 is the last version with the option for this layout. Unfortunately this layout will not be brought back as it isn’t supported by the new grid system we plan to add. Sorry about this!

Thanks

Ok, thanks!
So it won’t be boxed layouts with background anymore?

So our options include:

– Reverting to a buggy version of the theme where the Big Slider doesn’t function properly in 980px.
– Waiting for a plugin of some sort to give us this functionality back.
– A refund?

I’ve invested a lot of time into customizing this theme to work for my company. I don’t have the resources to do this again. What can we do about this?

Hi,


@paulberrow
The boxed version will still be available but only for the 1170px layout.

@substreamjacob

Please send an e-mail at contact@tagdiv.com so we can work this out, please also send a link to this topic.

Thanks

<!–
Theme: Newspaper by tagDiv 2014
Version: 4.2.2 (rara)
Deploy mode: deploy

Could you tell me how i can get rid of it, coz i don’t want anyone see my theme name and version especially when it’s not updated. It’s comming from function.php i think, but i didn’t find the way to turn it off

Great, thanks!

Is it possible to justify 1170 layout to the left so that I can put in a background ad to the right?

@Stefan
likely good idea to open new thread vs opening old one.

Sorry Chris. Thought maybe my question could be a solution to this thread. SORRY
