I’ve d/l and tried using some of the cloud templates. They are really well-done and tasteful, and I look forward to making full use of them.
However, I have a couple of questions:
1. Is there a reason some of them will work, and others won’t? I tried applying Single Post Template 35 to an existing post, and all I got was a black screen under the header. Other templates seem to work as designed.
2. Do the templates honor the settings in the theme panel? For example, I have social sharing turned off (I use a different plugin for that). I also have Previous/Next and Related Articles turned off, and yet all of these elements show up if I apply a template. Do I have to edit the templates individually to remove them?
Thanks for your help. Newspaper is still head-and-shoulders above other themes.
Hello !
You can use a Single post template from the cloud library and then edit it as you wish. Here are some tips and tricks on how to use it: https://tagdiv.com/cloud-library-page-templates-newspaper-theme/ ; https://tagdiv.com/customize-articles-with-single-post-templates/
You do not need plugins to de-activate the social sharing buttons since there are options from the theme panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/ez91kkyL
Thank you !
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it doesn’t address my questions.
1. I know how to use the templates. I have already downloaded a number of them. ONE of them only shows a black screen.
2. I already have the social sharing disabled in the theme panel, yet the social sharing buttons are still showing. Why?
Hello !
Sorry for missunderstanding your issue !
1. Please tell exactly wich one of them shows a black screen and also provide a link to your page so we can investigate.
2. Waiting for a page link but in meantime try clearing your cache and check it the buttons don’t come from a plugin.
Thank you !
Here is a preview link to a page using the template. It is Single Post 35.

Still not sure I’m getting through on the second question. I am using a plugin for the social sharing buttons, and I don’t want the buttons to show up. Do I have to clear all the social sharing URLs in the theme panel to make them go away?
BTW — I have all the sharing options turned off under Post Settings – Sharing.
Hello !
Please try deleting and reinstalling the cloud template. We have made tests on our servers and everything works fine. Also if you’re usign a social shares plugin you will have to disable the buttons from the plugin since it has nothing to do with the theme.
Thank you !
I will try re-installing.
And I’m still not being clear enough about my social share problem. I WANT to use the ones from the plugin, and not the tagdiv ones. I have the social sharing turned off in the theme panel, but the ones in the template continue to show up. Do I have to edit the template itself to get them to go away?
(Same is true for Related Posts, which I don’t want, and Previous/Next, which I also don’t want.)
Hello !
We are sorry for the issue.
This social buttons come with the template and they have to be edited / removed using the tagDiv Composer: https://www.screencast.com/t/dcUNOqIeJp.
Let me know if this helped.
Thank you !
