I want to replicate the classic blog demo template for my site (as it is) but not sure how to go about it. How do I do that?
Secondly, Is it compulsory for every post to have a feature image size of 745 * 483? Getting an image of that size is sometimes difficult. I have had to combine two different images to get that size for my posts.
Hi
Select in wordpress setting Latest Post like here: http://screencast.com/t/R2nmQrlQo5R and use module 15 for layout: http://screencast.com/t/eJ3ZEPlK
There isn’t an ideal image size(aspect ratio) so it can look good on all thumbs, also depends which blocks/modules that you use and you have to do some tests and see what aspect ratio to use as. The biggest size of a thumbs it’s 1021×580 as you can see here: http://screencast.com/t/fMikoGPJ so the featured image should be at least at that size. You could read more about the featured image size here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/
Thanks!
What I am seeing in trying to edit the home page is quite different to the screen capture you mentioned above where you recommended M15. I both created a new page and tried editing the current home page.
This is your screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/eJ3ZEPlK
This is mine: http://screencast.com/t/Zxd190Wz51N
Secondly, apart from replicating the classic blog home page, I also want my posts, pages and sidebar to be exactly as the classic blog template.
Thank you
Hi
The post templates from this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/Zxd190Wz51N are from Newspaper 4. If you’re referring at this blog: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_classic_blog/ you can try to use module 1 that will display entire post content but you can add from wordpres in every post the read more button where you want to stop displaying the content in homepage, like here: http://screencast.com/t/fdekkT2jVj
Please post your issues on Newspaper forum: https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/
Thanks!

I apologise for not using the forum but it is kinda late to continue the discussion on the forum.
Why am I having a newspaper 4 and there is a newspaper 6 theme. At the point of purchase or rather from the site, it was not specified that there is the option of opting for different versions of the theme. At the point of Purchase, I saw the newspaper theme, I liked and purchased. Kindly clarify.
Secondly, I am kind of sceptical on altering my site theme so that I dont mess anything up. The site is a news site and there are visitors at every point in time. I have tried to do some things in the past but I ended up messing up the site and it took days before I could restore it to the current state. Do you offer a set up service that could assist in tweaking and setting it up to my taste? of course at cost.
Thank you
Hi
When you purchase the theme from themeforest, the version you get is always the last one meaning when a new product it’s released the previous version it’s replaced and the user have the option to update. We still offer support for user who are using Newspaper 4 but setting up the site means custom work and we cannot offer it as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can look for a developer from a site like http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Thanks!
