Hi,
Thanks for all your work on the theme, and on this support page. I’ve got the theme working well but have a few small changes I’d like to make if possible:
1. Can I modify Categories pages settings, even for one module setting like Module 16 so that posts without a featured image are left aligned to the edge of the column, so that they don’t appear indented with a space for the “missing” image?
2. How would I decrease the space between article titles in Module 8 in Block 9 and Block 17? (The text only modules). I’ve turned off the category tag on it.
3. When I turn on related articles it has a different title style to the default style and “more by author” but no related articles tab. How do I change the title style and get the related posts section; and can I turn off “more by author”?

Hi,
Thank you for the appreciation, we try our best to provide a quality product.
1. Posts are meant to have a featured image, if there is no featured image set the theme will display a default placeholder instead, everywhere the post is displayed

You could choose a module that does not display the featured image
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/module-8-layout/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/module-9-layout/
2. There is a default padding and margin set for module 8
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dVBKCvUVb
You could change that with CSS, this is the code for that with default values, change them as you want and enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS
.td_module_8 {
padding-bottom: 25px;
margin-bottom: 16px;
}
The code will affect all instances of module 8, it can be made more precise if needed.
3. It could be a combination of colors set in the theme colors set here

The related section is affected by these settings. Please check if that is the case.
Thank you!
Ok thanks.
Is it possible to hide the “More from author” option on related posts? It’s confusing on my website all posts are uploaded by one user despite the fact they are written by different authors.
The General Theme Colours option for Theme Accent Colour seems to set the background on the related posts bar. It has to be a colour otherwise text with hyperlinks appear blank on a white background. But I don’t understand why I have a bar (see this post http://www.solidarity.asn.au/unions/sydneys-rail-strike-banned-time-fight-right-strike/)
as opposed to the header style shown here https://forum.tagdiv.com/related-articles/
Finally can I set a default image as the placeholder image where posts have no featured image? Otherwise all my related articles and category pages are going to have the gap. I can’t have a featured image on every single post as I have thousands of posts.
Hello,
Please follow this topic to remove the More from author

For the bars, please change the default block header style from here: https://www.screencast.com/t/bK59j3DNx
Thank you!
Thanks. I’ve tried changing the default block header style but doesn’t affect the related posts header, but no big deal.
So there’s no easy way to set a default placeholder image for posts with no featured image? I can see an image from /wp-content/themes/Newspaper/images/no-thumb/thumbnail.png on mobile but it just appears white on desktop. Could I edit that image?
And one final question, how could I reduce the height of the space above and below the header logo on header style 9? I found the link below for header style 7, can this be adapted?

The default placholders are found here in the theme

These images could be replaced with your own if that is what you want, just be sure to use the same name, size (dimensions) and format for the images. Those image will be used when there is no featured image set.
If you could provide a link to your website I will try to give you a solution for the header space. It would be more accurate that way.
Thanks, my website is at http://www.solidarity.asn.au
Try a code like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/bJb8E0Vpt2O
Enter the values you want in the code, then enter it in Theme panel->Custom CSS section (default values are 130px)
.td-header-style-9 .td-logo-wrap-full {
min-height: 100px;
line-height: 100px;
}
.td-header-style-9 .td-logo-wrap-full .td-logo {
line-height: 100px;
}
I am getting an “oops” 404 page when I try to follow the hide-more-from-author link mentioned in several post.
@kdannay You simply have to use either the CSS code provided in that topic, or comment the mentioned line of code. This will not cause 404 issues.
With CSS code – https://www.screencast.com/t/ggsQ5UHtxK3l
By commenting the code – https://www.screencast.com/t/yhw8fZoSmzY

The reference link
Please follow this topic to remove the More from author
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/related-articles-remove-or-hide-more-from-author-newspaper-theme/
Is resulting in a 404 page for me. Can you check this page? Is the information available anywhere else?
I really don’t know how that would be possible. A simple comment in the code for a theme element on the post page, or entering a code in the custom CSS section of the theme panel, would cause the whole page to be not found.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
