I have used your theme in the past and was nothing but satisfied. I just bought 2x Newspaper and 1x Newsmag.
You made some changes and I would like to understand the reasoning and if it is still for me. For me = a theme is meant to make it easier for me to build and modify a site based on demos.
1. Is there any demo that doesn’t require the hassle of your header builder? Exactly like it was before, from Theme Settings. Any demo I tried, I wasted about 2-3 hours to get a decent header, without too much customization. When everything it’s done, their is a Mobile setup from scratch.
1.2 Why is there still the option to upload logos in theme settings if it doesn’t work? On which demos does it work, if there is one?
1.3 On living pro even if I upload my logo image from editor, the theme’s logo it’s still there.
1.4 What is a Modal Header, how is it different & is this useful for me? Where can I find an answer?
2. Why is Elementor a featured plugin on ThemeForest if it doesn’t even come in the package?
2.1 Can I build pages with tagdivcomposer, custom pages, like I could with elementor, service pages, etc. If so, where can I find some tutorials, text or video, that will explain it to me simply and quickly?
2.2 Can I build on category pages? To add pieces of content, blocks, icons, beyond the article feeds.
3. Global Colors. Before, they were easy to modify from the theme settings. Now I go there, it doesn’t happen, or I don’t see what these settings do. Everything that is green (main color) should now be blue or red. I go back into tagdivcomposer – manager – global colors. I set them, I don’t know what they are for, if they work, if they have a logic. They probably do, but I don’t know what it is and it doesn’t help me.
4. Rows, Columns and Elements. How do I know when and what to edit? I don’t see a breadcrumbs style list of the elements anywhere. How many columns are there in a row, which I edit?
5. I haven’t reached the footer yet and I’ve lost about a day’s work. I understand that you can do anything with the div composer tag, but are there tutorials or do I have to waste months? How long will it take me to build an entire page?
6. Where do I set the font size for headings on articles? In the theme settings I only have options for pages and other variants, but not posts.
7. The icons in front of the menus, I see that they are yours after the forms. Where do I find them? I search on Google, I find that you recommend Font Awesome, but where are these from demos? <i class=”tdc-font-tdmp tdc-font-tdmp-home”></i>
I couldn’t find a quick answer to any of these questions by searching on Google for tagdiv resources, on the forum, on YouTube, or anything like that.
Thank you for your time to answer all these headaches.
I don’t work here, but looooong time user … did you look at the docs?
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
Elemenmtor is not included nor advertised as included. That is a third party page builder you have to install on your own and can be installed from the WordPress org repo for free plugins. TagDiv includes their own TD Composer page builder, with support for WP Bakery builder (which I don’t use) if memory serves.
Hope that helps 🙂
Hello Claudiu,
1. We introduced cloud templates because they help you create your desired design. In the cloud template library, you’ll find the 15 standard header templates and other templates -> https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers -> https://i.imgur.com/y1MSS8j.png. Regarding the logo, there are several options—you can set a text logo, an image logo, or an SVG logo. There are also options to hide the logo image or text logo, and you’ll find all options here -> https://i.imgur.com/gFRtk7c.png. Additionally, after setting the logo, you can adjust the sizes for each viewport, including tablet and phone -> https://i.imgur.com/ZJssWZl.png.
1.2 That option is displayed and works for the logo image in cloud templates; however, it’s not recommended. It was kept because you can also set the favicon here, and modifications would have been necessary to keep the favicon and remove the logo.
1.3 I think it’s not displaying because it’s not set to show the logo image -> https://i.imgur.com/xViW280.png.
1.4 Please provide more details about what you mean by a modal header.
2. The Elementor plugin works with standard templates, not cloud templates. It’s added there just like bbPress and other plugins.
2.1 I recommend creating your pages with tagDiv Composer. Here’s a tutorial on designing from scratch -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoGQ0d5kIBg
2.2 Yes, you can create cloud templates for posts, categories, and so on. You can create your own modules and use them in templates and pages -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-builder-newspaper-theme/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-builder-flex-loop-builder/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-use-tagdiv-cloud-library-templates/
3. First, create global colors in the manager https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-website-manager/, and then select them according to where you want them applied https://i.imgur.com/x66vvKZ.png. If you want a different color instead of the one already selected, you only need to go to the manager to change it, and it will apply to all elements where it’s been used https://i.imgur.com/Mlg3Zac.png
4. You’ll find them in tagDiv Composer; here’s documentation on rows and their flexibility -> https://tagdiv.com/flexibility-rows-columns-newspaper-theme/
-> https://tagdiv.com/how-to-add-delete-and-duplicate-row-newspaper-theme/
-> https://tagdiv.com/right-click-menu-tagdiv-composer/
5. It depends—you may not need to create a footer from scratch; you can just import one and set your logo and menu depending on your needs https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
6. You need to edit the single post template with tagDiv Composer. Select the title, and here you’ll have all the font, color, and other styling functionalities -> https://i.imgur.com/4KXVNqb.jpeg. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/single-post-shortcodes/
7. You can add an icon element from font awesome plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-add-icons-in-menu/
Also, please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/category/newspaper-8-documentation/, and you can ask us anytime you have questions.
Thank you!
Hi,
Thank you for your answers and your time.
1. I see.
1.2 Ok, got it.
1.3 See attachement. I could delete ‘living’ & ‘magazine’ which were text, but pro its still there. Image – Show, Text – Hide, Icon – Hide (so it’s not an icon). Also for mobile if it’s different.
1.3.1 What is that CSS code (under logo) box for? Can I delete it or will affect something?
2. Ok.
3. Got it with Global colors for tagdiv. But what about theme settings colors? For entire website, no matter page, category, post, sidebar, header, footer. Do I have such a setting that works and it’s recomended?
4. How I know the order and the number of columns and elements inside a row? I don’t want unuseful extra boxes. Is there a list or another way to take a look at them without hover each pixel?
5. Ok.
6. Ty, I did it.
7. You didn’t answer my actual questions about menu’s icons which look like tagdiv code vs Font Awesome. I found these icons for example for mobile menu burger, but there is no use case for them in main menu like you actually did it in demos?
Hands-on again, I will give it some extra time. So here are some extra specific questions:
1. Is there an option while editing with tagdiv to Undo the last action(s), like Ctrl+Z or a button somewhere?
2. Where do I edit hover color for links in menu? It’s a theme setting or a tagdiv editing setting?
3. What’s the recommended size for mobile for each of demos? Where can I check it for desktop / mobile? Like you used to have in theme settings 272×90 and so on.
4.1 See attachement. I can’t handle to align them like logo to the left and menu and search to the right. I tried even to align all to the left, but doesn’t work with these settings. Row + Column + Elements SS:
https://ibb.co/D74gYq8
https://ibb.co/vh24tbB
https://ibb.co/DRNbNBB
5. How do I know if i’m editing a single category or a template for all categories? My scenario: I want to create categories with more text. I found the category description element, but I need more and I have only one description field / element.
The final result should be:
– category description
– grid flex
– other category description (I guess I don’t have 2nd description with tagdiv) / personalized rows for each category (even if it’s manually for each of them)
5.1 Personalized ‘sidebar’ for each of the categories it’s possible? Like different filters for each of them.
5.2 Regarding global / per page edit. How do I know if I’m applying header changes for entire website, or just for ‘this’ page.
Thank you too!
Hello Claudiu,
1.3 The pro is added using this custom code CSS -> https://i.imgur.com/YBfqUU3.jpeg. You can delete the code CSS.
1.3.1 CSS is used for the logo, menu, and news ticker flex blocks -> https://i.imgur.com/shKyAKR.jpeg, so it is recommended that you check if this is no longer used before deleting it.
3. The theme colors are used for standard templates. For example, the colors for search, mobile menu, and back to top are still used. So, you can create your global colors in manage and use them on all templates.
4. The empty rows are not displayed in the front end; they are only displayed when you edit the page with tagdiv Composer. So, I don’t understand what you mean by ” How do I know the order and the number of columns and elements inside a row?” Can you please provide screenshots and more details?
7. The icons are added with HTML and CSS, so I recommend using that guide to add icons to the menu because they are easy to add.
/////////////////
1. Yes, the theme has the option for undo-redo, but it is disabled. Please open a page in tagDiv Composer, then click on Manager and then on settings -> https://i.imgur.com/KuvxEl6.png. Enable the option and should display the arrows for undo and redo ->
https://i.imgur.com/nxnyvw1.png Check this guide https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-website-manager/
2. Yes, there is an option for hover color; please check the tab style https://i.imgur.com/sno3ST3.jpeg
3. These are not recommendations specific to any theme but rather general guidelines applicable to all websites, regardless of the theme used.
General Image Size Recommendations for Mobile:
For mobile display, image sizes are adjusted to ensure both performance and quality:
-
Featured Image: 600 x 400 pixels (or up to 720 x 480 pixels for high-resolution screens).
Thumbnail: 150 x 150 pixels (used for list or grid views).
Post Images: 600 – 800 pixels wide (suitable for both mobile and tablet displays).
General Image Size Recommendations for Desktop:
For desktop displays, larger image resolutions are typically used:
-
Featured Image: 1200 x 800 pixels.
Thumbnail: 300 x 300 pixels.
Post Images: 1200 – 1600 pixels wide (depending on the layout and design).
4. Please remove the align settings that you made and set this on the row https://i.imgur.com/mMokZ65.png
5. You can use the SCF plugin to create a custom field, and after, you can set the text and show it on the category template using the custom field element -> https://i.imgur.com/9bfKMKw.png -> https://i.imgur.com/1IoLb8T.png -> https://i.imgur.com/qE4g6oW.jpeg
For each category on the flex block, there is a special filter for the current category, which dynamically displays the posts from that category within each category -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/flex-block-settings-guide/
The Posts Loop automatically filters the posts depending on the cloud template you set (for example, on the category page, there will be posted posts from that category) https://forum.tagdiv.com/posts-loop/
5.1 Please check this topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-add-different-sidebare-for-different-posts-with-the-same-category/
5.2 You can assign an individual header on the page like this: go to the manager and set the header template that you want -> https://i.imgur.com/whZRjpm.jpeg not global, then only this header will be on that page—the same steps for the footer.
Have a great weekend!
Hi,
4. Check SS: https://ibb.co/0KKSLXY I want to change the order (for example) in mobile menu, so there will be a: logo > search > menu but I’m struggling with drag & drop getting only scenarios where an element moves out of the ‘mobile editor screen’ OR one below another and so on.
7. Ok, I will.
//////
1. Great!
2. Good, solved it.
3. I miss-spelled it. I was asking about logo sizes mobile / desktop if it’s different from previous size 270×90 and so on (listed in Theme Settigns) and if it can be different / personalized for each demo.
4. Good!
5. Got it! I see that it supports HTML, but is there a way to add to this new field (like for the main description) formatting options (headings, bold, link and so on) for novice users and also for formatting faster the text added?
5.1 I will take a look when I’m getting done with the above.
5.2 Good to know.
Thank you for your help and time!
Hi,
1. You can try like this: https://we.tl/t-gSKqxIz147 after changing the space.
3. You can set what size you want on the logo on each viewport -> https://i.imgur.com/GtUgDap.png. The ideal WordPress website logo size is 250 x 150 pixels
5. You can use another format https://i.imgur.com/HcqPTqr.png -> https://i.imgur.com/lsH13UT.png
Thank you!
Hi again,
Can’t edit sub-footer (copyright) with Cloud Template (Theme Settings N/A) and in tag composer editor it doesn’t show even if i scroll to the bottom of the page (footer is the last section visibile mozilla / chrome). Also found this topic but this looks like a secret solution.
Hello,
Can you please provide some screenshots? Do you have any notifications on the page when using Tagdiv Composer?
Thank you!
