Hi fleur,

You ca add it as a log, but you need to make sure that your using a proper header style, for example 7, 8, 10 -> https://i.imgur.com/oHDUt8P.png

Thank you!

Hi Calin,

Ive spend the whole day on this and simple things are not clear.
-when having written a post:
– how do I add it to a menu item?
– when having selected a certain post template why does it not lay out like it should? I add a picture and it doesnt allign as it should? If i change the post template the post doesnt change.

– why is it not possible from ‘theme panel – posts’ to add a post to a certain menu item. I might need also need a post to appear in more than one place i.e. on the home page for a while and always under a certain menu item.
– do catagories correspond to menu items?
-how do i edit categories (delete/ad)
– upload a gif as logo does not display the gif. its still an image.
thank you

Hi,

The logo need to be upload on full size -> https://i.imgur.com/W0YX8a2.png -> https://i.imgur.com/H0srLkA.png -> https://i.imgur.com/L3iyXU3.jpg
To make a menu (add elements in it) you can use our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/main-menu/
For post templates, please check our guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-post-templates/ and please make sure that you do not have a plugin conflict, please deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv plugins (theme plugins), also if you are using child theme or cache plugin, deactivate them, clear all cache and try again.

You can set the posts with our theme using the grids and blocks from tagDiv Composer
Yes, the categories correspond with these from menu, also you can edit or delete them from here -> https://i.imgur.com/0dxU2bM.png
When you are using a gif, make you need to make sure that you upload it on full size, also you need to know that our theme is making thumbs from images when you set theme as featured image -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-theme-thumbs/

Thank you!

https://imgur.com/a/BL8ndF7 – the last picure had all themes disabled. and still the GIF doesnt work.

Also, When importing and using a theme it looks different on the home page(where it looks as it should) than on other pages. Please see images.Both in theme panel and on website manager i set the theme as beauty pro overlay.

Hi fleur,

This can be because you are using WPBakery plugin, please disable this plugin and this demo will look as in our live demos.
Also as I can see your gif is not the original size, is a thumb -> https://i.imgur.com/uuc3Mvu.png and you do not use Newsmag theme and Newspaper theme that is using cloud templates, not only standard templates (my above suggestions were for Newsmag theme that has only standard templates), please to write your questions in the forum for Newspaper not Newsmag.
Make sure that the logo image that you set here is set on full size -> https://i.imgur.com/1mNJx28.png -> https://i.imgur.com/5uN3Mmp.jpg
In order to change the logo you can use our guide from here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXQQygkCCJo also make sure that you display the image or text -> https://i.imgur.com/Zs5shNm.png -> https://i.imgur.com/v3sEEu9.png -> https://i.imgur.com/XdXqH4B.png -> https://i.imgur.com/XdXqH4B.png on mobile -> https://i.imgur.com/wqNV6vE.png
If you are using a cloud header, using tagDiv Composer you can upload a bigger image change the image width -> https://i.imgur.com/az0pQLH.png or if is a text you can increase the font from style tab -> https://i.imgur.com/OmOU0ry.png

Thank you!

Hi Calin,

I will start writing in newspaper theme soon.

However, as I stated above: “the last picure had all themes disabled. and still the GIF doesnt work.”
The LAST screenshot is the one with the gif. It is full size.

The first to screenshots where my questions about the theme not working properly when i installed the beauty pro header overlay theme.

Hi fleur, if the theme has all the thumbs disable, that dose not mean that will display the image in full size.
For example when I use a logo on Beauty pro header -> https://i.imgur.com/WsS7gai.jpg -> https://i.imgur.com/4v2Gs3w.png -> https://i.imgur.com/Jj7LD3x.png and the results are -> https://i.imgur.com/bppnOA1.png -> https://i.imgur.com/tlQ3Z9m.png

Thank you!
