Hello all,

After I installed the newspaper theme into my existing blog which got about 1000 posts, I don’t know where to start.

I tried to create a page from the default template but it doesn’t apply on the landing page, the blog page ( hme ) is still the same like before.

what can i do? and how to change the ratio of the image to be 1:1 square thumbnail ?

thx so much.

Tagdiv support is closed weekends, and back Monday. If you have not already done so the theme docs right side this page are greatvplace to start for step by step on theme options, setting up home page and default post template, etc.

Hope that helped a little. ?

Hi,

Please make sure you set the frontpage from Settings > Reading – http://screencast.com/t/wvhVYapXG
Also please check the documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/wordpress-information/ and also we have some video tutorials on our youtube channel – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWqozuqmJk
Let me know if you have other issues related to the theme.

Thanks!

Stupid me, thx now I know what to do.

And is it possible to turn the thumbnail / image into 1:1 ration?

Coz all my pictures are album cover.

Hi,

The theme uses the add_image_size() function and the featured image is cropped to different sizes, for each image are created thumbnail to be used on module. Here you can find all sizes(including the size used on post pages) – http://screencast.com/t/aWvLdtvDghW2
If you want to change this you need to alter the code(to change the size or add a new size) here – http://screencast.com/t/Mkyyuly8o6vi The specific thumb is used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/tJfnkusU and post pages – http://screencast.com/t/jodz2kpYM If make any changes please regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Here you can find more details about the featured image, aspect ratio… https://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/

Thanks!

Hi I dun manage to make it.

Can I write to you by email?

It seems like the modules one I need to modify from the php then upload it again.

instead of doing it on the theme editor on the dashboard.

Hi littleo,

Glad that you managed to make it!
You can send and email at contact@tagdiv.com or write here on the forum about this.
If you have added more image size in the config file you will have to edit the modules to use a specific size(they cannot be edited from WP Editor, you have to do this via ftp). Please note that your custom modifications to the files will be overwritten when you’ll update the theme.

Thanks!
