Hello,
I need help with several small issues I am currently facing with Newspaper, but I’ve decided to group topics because it’s easier for me to follow and I’ve also discovered a lot of helpful stuff with your search engine. No need to clutter.
I’ve made Newspaper main page with TD Composer and I am facing two problems.
1. How can I add sidebar to TD Composer created page?
2. I am using Big Grid Slide as a main slider.
a) Is there a possibility to only make biggest image slide and let other images be still?
b) I’ve made Big Grid Slide slide , but it changed position, moved from center and aligned to the left – it overwrites all CSS padding. How can I center it again?
c) Is there a way to change dimensions of Big Grid Slide and/or its elements?
Thank you kindly, more questions inbound when I’m done with this.
Hi,
1. There are 2 ways of placing a sidebar on a page created with the composer. The first one would be to simply split the row when editing the page, and add the elements you want in the resulting section. Like this

The second method is, that instead of adding elements like shown, you can place a Widget sidebar and choose from the available sidebars

Widget sidebars can be created in different locations, and customized in Appearance->Widgets

This is a tutorial featuring a presentation of the tagDiv composer

2. a) The Big grid slide will slide as a whole, meaning the entire grid. There is no option to slide just a single module. There is a different element similar to what you are describing, this slider

b) That is not supposed to happen, the elements placed on the page cannot change position on their own. They have to remain where they are placed. If possible, please provide some screenshots of the issue or a link to your website, so we can inspect it.
c) The Big grid slide does not have options to change it’s size. It will always be like this

Hello,
thank you for your answers. I will give it a try. Meanwhile, here’s a screenshot of big grid slide being ‘glued’ to the left – it’s easy to notice.
If you need anymore info, please feel free to write. Thank you!
Hi,
There seems to be a problem with the slide. Check in the slide settings, maybe you have set some margin or padding in the CSS tab

However it would be helpful if we could inspect the issue with the slide first hand. If you could provide a link top your website we will inspect it, and identify why this is happening.
Thanks
Hello Simion,
no, all CSS padding is default, no values. I’ve even tried to add some, but the problem is it basically overrode everything that I’ve entered, so I’ve deleted all the values and left it at zero.
Here’s the website. Hope you can figure out what’s going on.
Hi,
Please edit the page with the composer and check the row where the slide is placed. Set the row stretch to default option

Then save the page and view it. The issue should be solved.
Thanks
Hello Simion,
works flawlessly. Thank you very much. 🙂
