Hello Chris, are you the owner of the theme? If yes, I already asked before the puchase if you can help me with that implementation with the visual composer.

And my question is where is the file of the demos? I already found the button.

Hi,

You have to edit the homepage, or create a new one and set it as a homepage from Settings -> Reading – http://screencast.com/t/nxXU2paRAva

The tech homepage is built like this – http://screencast.com/t/DYerxI0myEDdhttp://screencast.com/t/YyOW52hl9M

You could use the shortcodes – http://screencast.com/t/FjvLbGCaJddhttp://pastebin.com/YV8LQrcA – but note that you may have to change the categories used on those blocks with the ones present on your side.

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello Emil, thanks for your last answer, I have more some doubts and I would be very grateful if you can help me:

1. You didn’t explained how to change the categories with this shortcode in your last answer, how can I do it? I believe is because of that when I click in the url of the category appears to me another layout in the header (5 images in the header not 3), I have to corret this problem too.

2. I´m having problems with the pagination of the homepage, for example when I click to go to the page 2 or 3 appears to me a 404 error.

3. When I build a new post, and select a featured image for the cover of that post, the image appears large in the top of the post, how can I disable this last functionality?

4. How can I put responsive blocks of adsense in the home page (as in the newspaper theme), I want to use the adsense in the header, and more 2 blocks between the content of the homepage.

5. How can I erase the texts “acessories / what´s news / windows phone etc”? (I didnt have this categories in my wp-admin)

6. My blog have 3 categories, how can I show these 3 categories in the homepage as in the image below:

in this case the categories of this image are “entretenimento” (entertainment) and “país” (country).

obs.: if the answers for some of these questions are in the documentation, please put the number of the question and the url of the section of the documentation.

Hi,

1. After you have copied shortcodes that Emil provided, you can switch to Backend Editor and edit blocks and filter by your category: http://screencast.com/t/4sf7jTT9
2. Try to disable all your plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and also resave your permalink and see if you still have this issue.
3. You can set post style from Post Settings(theme has 8 post templates): http://screencast.com/t/gWkLLk8rOHNL
4. Please paste your adsense code in Theme Panel > Ads section: http://screencast.com/t/rAR5iOwEp
In your page content you can use Ad Box block where you want to display the ad: http://screencast.com/t/l0i0xlRx
5. These are block titles and you can change them from block settings: http://screencast.com/t/qwQpaiMjQ18C
6. Go to the block settings and filter by category(answer 1).

Thanks!

Tks Alin, some comments:

1. I dont know if is I or you that didnt understand, I want the show 3 figures in the header (just occurs to my homepage) when I click in a specific category, for example to:

hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/preparacao/

You can see that my categories have 5 images in the header (like in the default version, not the tech version).

2. Solved.

3. Solved.

4. I´m facing problems with the adsense implementation in the middle of homepage.

I did many tests, I created 728×90 ads block and a responsive block, the 728×90 I put in the custom_ads1, after the posts of the category “notícias” as you can see in my homepage, and after the category “preparação” (above the latest articles) I put a responsive ads.

For both, the size appears responsive. And by this way I can conclude that isn’t a problem with the adsense code. So why it appeared responsive? I want to use 728×90 ads like appears in the newspaper theme.

5. Solved.

Anothers questions.

6. How can I remove the “latest articles” from homepage and bring the widget “stay connected” to the top of the sidebar? I don’t know how to decrease the distance between the sidebar blocks of the visual composer and the blocks created in the widget section.

7. In the visual composer blocks, like I did to the category “notices” (notícias) in the top of my site, how can I put buttons to show next and previous notices? Like in this site hxxp://sensacionalista.com.br

8. How can I select the categories that will show posts in the “Trending Now” (in the header).

Hi,

1. Category page cannot be build via Visual Composer like your homepage. Theme doesn’t have option for this and you will need custom modification, unfortunately we cannot provide any custom work for the moment, sorry.
There is an option in Theme Panel > Categories to disable Big Grid on category page(if you want this): http://screencast.com/t/P1eBsD1V

2. I have checked your site and did not found any ads on your homepage, please follow this guide for ads – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/
The theme width is smaller than Newspaper (1021px) so if you want to use a fixed width ad at 728px here – http://screencast.com/t/BKCRNSbwCw I’m afraid that the width of 2 columns is smaller than 728pxhttp://screencast.com/t/bayX7e3IfKCZ
So you will have to use the full width row for this – http://screencast.com/t/oqoiLvJdjhttp://screencast.com/t/40olCBoCEa7

6. If you don’t want Latest articles please change your page template and use a template without articles: http://screencast.com/t/y3UMlJYeTahttps://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-newsmag/
Just add Social Counter block to your sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/ttsepM5t6Oihttp://screencast.com/t/nkAOfsiu78

7. Go to the block settings and set pagination for it: http://screencast.com/t/QePc4h3l47

8. You can set this like you do that for blocks: http://screencast.com/t/1A7yPgMoiGy7
Block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-overview/

Please follow our documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/

Thanks!

Tks Alin,

About the ads management:

2. There’s a problem with your ads manager, for the ads in articles, you can access this url:

hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/tecnologo-pode-prestar-concurso/

I used the “article top ad” with a 336x280px ads, and is appearing a horizontal ads. And in “article bottom ads” I used a responsive ads.

In the homepage I used:

– a 728x90px in custom_ad_1 after the header block named “em destaque” and a responsive ads in custom_ad_2 after the block named “preparacao”.

As you can see doesnt matter the size of the ads blocks, your theme have own sizes in specific locations. I dont know why this is happening, I tried to desactive all plugins (except visual composer) I verified another site with the same theme, and it is working fine (like hxxp://sensacionalista.com.br).

9. How can I create “sliding sidebar blocks” like in the demo of newsmag? Note that I want to use this functionality with the sidebar blocks created in visual composer, not with the widgets.

10. About the size of the cover images for the articles. I tried to use the plugin Regenerate Thumbnails, but without sucess with your theme.

What I can do to adjust a better view to the images in each type of visualization that you theme offer? For example, for the same posts your theme use diferent sizes for the homepage and for the page of the categories.

As you can see the same post “O Que Faz um Analista Tributário da Receita Federal?” with the cropped image in the page of category:

hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/carreiras/

But not cropped in the:

hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/

12. How to desactivate the breadcumbs (I taught that it was activated by WordPress SEO plugin, but not, when I desactivated the plugin, breadcumbs continued)

Hi,

2. I’m not sure what is happening please try to change the size for your ad from Theme Panel > Ads: http://screencast.com/t/JfusNez2Xwv and it should render the ad at that size.
Also I did not found any ads on your homepage: http://screencast.com/t/whZHwE6cihttp://screencast.com/t/k3ySzhYW4L

9. Please add td-ss-row class to the row of the sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/1gHBk0giHF
10. On this post you use template 7, this post style doesn’t display featured image on post page, use the featured image thumb only on block/modules – http://screencast.com/t/46Ozopy0E5cO
So please set another post template if you want to display featured image: http://screencast.com/t/4IE9szK3Ywtf

11. You can hide it via custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/YsuvnR6IkV

.td-related-title .td-related-right {
display: none;
}
.td-related-title .td-related-left {
border-radius: 3px;
}

12. There is an option in Theme Panel to disable breadcrumbs: http://screencast.com/t/FOKeZBpq

Thanks!

Hello,

2. I think your theme have some bugs in the theme panel -> ads. Every time that I save this section, your theme automatically eliminate the codes in the custom ads boxes.

I adjusted the size and corrected the homepage ads, but not the 326x280px ads in the beginning of the posts. As you can see, even adjust to 336×280 continues to appears responsive, do you need my login and password to verify why?

10. You didnt understand, see the image below:

I want the same size in both pages, not cropped images.

Tks.

13. How can I choose a page layout for my categories pages?

As you can see, my home page hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja have a diferent sidebar of the categories pages, for example hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/preparacao. In that case I erase in my homepage that block used in the category page.

Hi,

2. Please update you theme to the latest version 1.7.1 using this guide(FTP method): https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ as in the 1.7 version it was an issue with ads (eliminate the codes). This issue was fixed in the latest version.

10. The image appear like this because of it aspect ratio. The image is catted for different sizes for modules – http://screencast.com/t/bmsl1KdRws4 so the image is cropped center top at that height. You can change the height size so the aspect ratio of the image to be closer to the aspect ratio of the picture(default image).
You can find out more about this here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/

13. You can set your sidebar for categories from Theme Panel > Categories section – http://screencast.com/t/GMB0Cxpe1knq add widgets into the sidebar from Widgets – http://screencast.com/t/j3z3jsgnt
Also if you want to use the same sidebar on your pages please use Widgetised sidebar block in your page and set the sidebar to display: http://screencast.com/t/6wlYuuZ43

Thanks!

I already updated the theme, but the size of the ads continues responsive instead 336x280px for the posts (article top). So, I´m sending to your email my login and password to you see the problem of your theme.

Your answer for the 10. is incomplete, please click again in the urls and see my problem. You told me to “change the height size” but didnt especificate what size in what block, I tried to change the 300x160px block, I tried to change the another block too, I edited the media settings unchecking the box and didnt work. So, whats the SOLUTION and what is the best wide, tall and rate to the images of this theme?

Hi,

There isn’t an ideal image size so it can look good on all thumbs, the image size for a basic post we use this dimensions: 1021 x 580px. You can find here all thumbs dimensions which are created and used by the theme on module/blocks thumbs and sliders http://screencast.com/t/ZZntCVQJW
Also depends the blocks/modules that you use for aspect ratio and you have to do some tests and see what aspect ratio to use.
Like you can see also in you example on module 6 your image looks fine almost not cropped – http://screencast.com/t/hmGDctpa , but if you take a look also at this image it not looks the same – http://screencast.com/t/mNdgsPr281Wp So like you can see this depends what image size you use, you have to test this like I said above and see what image size to use depending of blocks/modules that you are using more.
If you want to change the height for module 1please change height here – http://screencast.com/t/gDCZYhPO and then please regenerate your thumbnails using this plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/

I also tested this with your image – http://screencast.com/t/onwq87FzHQhttp://screencast.com/t/TqeitYnsh
Result: http://screencast.com/t/GjINxM9dcx

Hope this helps!

I asked about 2 problems of your theme, I´m asking about your ads manager since 21 of april.

Hello, I saw your answer in Envato. About your answers:

2. How can I put the ads in the left side of the top of the article, like here (without use plugins, I dont want plugins to do that):

hxxp://sensacionalista.uol.com.br/2015/04/28/pai-que-tatuou-filha-no-rosto-se-explica-queria-afastar-a-possibilidade-de-fazer-outro-bebe/

10. How can I change the size of the images in the header? I tried to edit in the include of the config the block 341x220px to 341x256px (1.33 ratio), but this alteration doesnt affect the header of my site as you can see here:

hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/

Hi,

2. I’m not sure if this is what you mean – http://screencast.com/t/M5lhlrZf

.td-g-rec-id-content_top {
text-align: left;
}

10. Like you can see your image is cropped at that size but there is a fixed height on the thumb container – http://screencast.com/t/7OhKXbyYWX
Please try this custom css, it should solve this issue: http://screencast.com/t/1GlrRFp2kU

.td_block_14 .td_module_mx1 .td-module-thumb {
height: auto;
}

Thanks!
