Hi Nagarig, I just got an answer from one of our developers about this “problem”.
The thing is that sing that you are using pagination on mobile (because you are using the mobile theme plugin) and on responsive version you do not have set a pagination is not SEO friendly, but this was you decision to use it in this way and since the mobile theme plugin is using the same address (url for website) it will index all the links that can be found, therefore will be indexed these links from mobile and when you’ll access theme from desktop you’ll be in the current situation that you are.
A solution will be to use a function/code in functions.php to set noindex for pagination, in this way your problems should be fixed, the thing is that this is not a general option to be include in theme because there are users that are using pagination and they ant to have there pagination indexed.
The files where you’ll need to set this code are wp-content/plugins/td-composer/mobile/functions.php and wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/functions.php
Unfortunately we do not have this code made to can provide it and is quite custom thing, but I think that using the documentation from here you can achieve it -> https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/28278962?hl=en is look that you need to use is_paged() for achieving this -> https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_paged/
I will make some more investigations, until then you can check the above suggestions.

Have a nice day!

But adding this code will also stop REAL PAGES from indexing? There are pages about mobile, laptops, etc like categories. Also, in theme updates, this code will remain there? Or it will get modified?

I found this 2 sites using newspaper also not using mobile theme. May be they had same issues?

Also, I have sent 5-6 emails about adding our site in TagDiv Newspaper showcase. But it is not added yet.

Hi Nagarig,

Using the above suggestion you can set the code only in the mobile functions, therefore it will no longer index that mobile pagination, since you do not have any pagination on desktop, there should be no problems, also the category pagination will be indeed on desktop, therefore is no need to be indexed again mobile.

As i can see these 2 sites has pagination on mobile and desktop too and are displaying just fine.

Please note that your website is checked by our designers and developers when you submit for showcase and you need to have something special made using our theme, not only using a demo and with few modifications, usually there are add the build and customize using our tagDiv Composer.

Thank you for your understanding!

Ok, so we have already customized so many things with tagDiv. Still, we can not be featured/added in the showcase? I see there are so many basic sites are added to the showcase. So we think our site is good enough to get some space there. 🙂

Video Widget Box Color: As you can see on homepage – https://globaltechgadgets.com/ there is a video of Forza Horizon on the right sidebar. The heading background color is black, but we want it Blue color. How to change it. The video box is added though widget are and not TagDiv.

Hi Nagarig, I’m not the one that consider if a site is or not good enough for showcase, this will consider our developers and designers, not the support staff, that was only my opinion, also if this is not add right now, that dose not mean that it can not be add later. As for these basic sites, I think that were made when the theme was not so big like now and had only few options.

If that element is added using widgets you can try the general option from theme panel -> https://i.imgur.com/oaXqJn3.png or you can use a custom css -> https://i.imgur.com/DNEOjZN.png

.vc_widget_sidebar .block-title a, .vc_widget_sidebar  .block-title span{
    background-color: #00acee;
}
.vc_widget_sidebar  .block-title {
    border-bottom: 2px solid #00acee;
}

Hope this will help you!

I think general option could change other widget styles in future too. So we chose Custom CSS. But problem is there is no Custom CSS option. Please help.

The widget shows only this options: https://snipboard.io/SwnNQH.jpg

Hi Nagarig, the widget sidebar element from tagDiv Composer is us just to can display the sidebar widgets from appearance, you need to check on appearance> widgets to see if you can set the color for header, but only few elements has this option , for example blocks widgets -> https://i.imgur.com/WfBb0YO.png

Tank you!

Hi just checked, there is no option from Widget area. So what to do? That custom css option – where to put that code?

Hello,

You need to set the custom css in theme panel> custom code > custom css and this will apply on vc_widget_sidebar.

Thank you!
