Hello there,
I hadn’t updated my version of Newspaper since v3 – eeeek! So there’s been a lot of frantic editing of my site tonight. A few queries are still hanging over me though.
1. The Big Slider on my homepage: http://citysavvyluxembourg.com/
a. How can I turn the hover option off?
b. How can I get the authors off on the big slider big pic
c. how can I get the big slider to stretch the dimensions of the main pic into one of the three side pics?
2. In version 3, a ‘featured image’ needed to be 745 x 484, but it would then be cropped to 700 x 357 in the article. This would cause me issues as some important parts of the picture would be lopped off. To get round this, I would use the ‘gallery’ format which would take away the ‘featured’ image for that post; and add in another image so the dimensions were corrects. The trouble is, the ‘gallery’ format doesn’t take away the featured image in the new version so I have lots of posts with two images!! Can you help?
3. The pagination on the modules used to be in the top right corner (see ‘galleries’ on the home page’). Now it is at the bottom left and easily missable.
4. How do I change the colour of the aticle titles within each block? So ‘Farewell Madame Ambassador’ should be in blue on the home page for example?
Sorry for all the questions. What a nightmare! Will teach me to look after the IT myself – I had no idea it hadn’t been updated until a 5pm panic!
Hello,
Unfortunately this update from such an old version will be like switching to a whole different theme. Lots of things have changed in the meantime.
1)
a. You can turn off the slider animation from the lazyload setting: http://screencast.com/t/1e7GmiXoK3r
b. You can use this custom css to remove it only from the big mkodule:
.td_module_mx9 .td-post-author-name{
display:none!important;
}
c. The images are to blame here, not the grid itself. You need to regenerate your thumbnails using the “force regenerate’ plugin
2) Unfortunately the gallery format was removed so if you have double images n your posts, you will either have to remove the doubles by hand or use post style 5 which does not display the featured image.
3) This is the position of the pagination in the current theme. Please check how it should display on our live demo here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
4) Unfortunately the article titles in modules and blocks can only be changed with css as the theme has no option to change their color. (you can change the active hover color from visual composer block settings as seen on our demo homepage.)
You can use this code to change the titles:
.td_module_wrap .entry-title a{
color:blue!important
}
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Thank you so much.
1a. I’ve turned the slider animation off but there is still an animation when I hover over a category on the main page: http://citysavvyluxembourg.com/
b. Do I just go into the Stylesheet style.css and add this code anywhere??
c. Perfect – thank you!
2. What a pain but understood
3. Understood
4. Sorry, where do I put this code?
One more thing, the ‘preformatted’ style has changed quite a bit! Where can I edit this?
Many thanks,
Farrah Gillani
Hello,
a – you only need to pick another effect from the theme panel. Please use it like so:

b- you can add the code in the theme panel – custom css box: http://screencast.com/t/Pki15X8dt
As for the “preformatted” satyle, if you are referring to the shortcodes and formats for text editing, you can follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-formats-for-tinymce/
Thank you!
Thank you – very helpful!
Just a quick update – you veyr kindly gave me the css code to remove the author from the big grid:
.td_module_mx9 .td-post-author-name{
display:none!important;
}
I have updated my website to use a different grid ‘Big Grid 6’ – but of course the authors names are coming up again. Could you tell me what the new css code would be to remove this?
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
Well the code I provided was for big grid you had on your homepage. If you change it, the code will no longer apply. If you want a general code that will apply to ALL big grids, you can try this one:
.td-big-grid-wrapper .td-post-author-name{
display:none!important;
}
Thank you!
Thank you – you’re a life-saver! All working 🙂
One more gremlin (sorry!)
In the ‘old’ newspaper format, the option for ‘preformatting’ text didn’t have a grey box around it. How can I get rid of that? And change the font? Here’s a screen shot to show what I mean:
Hello,
You can get rid of the grey box for preformated text by editing the editor-style.css file http://screencast.com/t/6FUkbtbn6K
I’m not sure about what font you are referring to though. The post content fonts can be changed from here: http://screencast.com/t/QM7fLSvHh5
Thank you!
I’ve changed the preformatted text as you’ve said but the grey box is still there… the preformatted text is not held within the post content fonts area?
Hi,
Did you change the color in the editor style. It should look like this: http://screencast.com/t/0IcolyBa1Ra
Thank you!
