Hello,
I purchased the Newspaper 8 theme and i thought i was able to organize my new newswebsite myself. I work with WordPress for years now, but unfortunately im kind a stuck. To much options for my knowledge. Im super frustrated, because i bought the theme more than a week ago and i thought i was already writing happily, clearly that is not the case.
So im in need for some help here. I think the customizations i want arent that much of a deal though. I dont want big adjustmens. I want a simple and clean layout. I just need someone who is familair with the theme, it shouldnt take to much time.
This is my URL: https://www.dagonline.nl. Like i said, i want a clear and simple layout for my newswebsite. The yellow ‘Dont miss’ tab/block who is pre-installed with the demo is nice. I need more of those in different colors for different categories for example. A good example is http://www.nu.nl
Who wants to help me out here? We can do this by email or Skype. I have a little budget available.
Thank you so much.

All the block titles on pages can be customized the way you like, with the composer

The block title font color and background color can be customized in the general tab of the block settings.
The content that each block displays can be filtered and sorted as well

Ok, thank you Simion.
I was on my way and created some nice things, but i deleted the ‘News’ page from the demo and now my whole structure is gone. Its not in trash to recover it. What happen? How can i restore it?
How can i delete the Html code here! Replace this with any non empty text and that’s it text, right under the contact title?
UPDATE:
First and second issue is resolved.
Now when i send somebody my url, in for example Whatsapp, it shows the page title (Voorpagina). This is ofcourse because i created the homepage from static page (TagDiv tutorial). I dont want it to show the title. I just want my URL and right meta data with my logo.
How can i fix this?
When i go to Yoast (SEO-titles and meta’s-homepage) i cant add my meta data. Instead in directs me to the static homepage again. On my other domains i can just add my meta data there.
Is it a good and wise thing to create a homepage from a static regular page? Are there other and better options? Please tell me.
I have different blocks (for different categories) on my page. But when i publish a new post it shows up in all blocks. How can i publish a post that shows up in one specific block (categorie).
Please select a specific category for each block. Also, select Unique Articles for your homepage.
Thank you. I did, but it didnt work out. I specified it in the block setting, under filter/categorie filter. No difference. Please specify where do i need to specify the category?
Also i see the categorie name in my URL, right after the .nl/. I dont want that. How can i fix this also?
@ TagDiv
UPDATE:
The categorie name in the URL issue from above it OK now.
Im asking all my questions here if you dont mind, otherwise i spam the main forum. I hope you guys will skim through it and answer all that is not fixed. Thank you so much.
So my next question is about the block thumbnails. I upload images in my posts for Facebook at 600x400px. They show perfectly fine on all devices, except for the featured image on my blocks. They come out ugly cropped, because of the 324 X 235 size. The quality is also lower than the one in my post. Not nice at all. I want the block thumbnail show the exact same way (size and quality) as in my post. Please help me out. https://www.dagonline.nl
Also, i wanna keep the colors of my blocktitles, but i dont want the categories and posttitles light up the same color. I just want them to be black. How can i do this?
I uploaded my logo, normal and retina, and it seems fine at first. But when i scroll down on mobile and go back up, the logo is nog bright anymore. The edges are ragged. Why it this?
Hi,
The thumbs on your page seem fine. They are clear and crisp: https://www.screencast.com/t/op3Cfs7GmT
You cannot have blocks show the exact image size as the one you upload. Each block uses it’s own thumbnail size: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
As for the logo the sticky menu logo will grab the main logo and shrink it to fit the main menu bar https://www.screencast.com/t/vDbKNIcBOu8p
You can choose to grab the mobile logo for the scrolling menu: https://www.screencast.com/t/p22UglQr
Thanks.
@ Bogdan
– No, they are not fine. Please look closely. https://www.dagonline.nl. The quality of the thumb is way lower than the one in the post. Also it crops it badly. So the only way to fix this is to upload an image 324×235? But that is to small for laptop and Facebook.
I just want the same size and quality image as the one in my post, or at least the same quality. Please help me out here
– Thanks for the logo reply.
– In the Chrome tab it shows the page title of my homepage (Voorpagina). This is ofcourse because i created the homepage from static page (TagDiv tutorial). I dont want it to show the title up there. I just want my URL and right meta data with my logo, just as most websites have.
When i go to Yoast (SEO-titles and meta’s-homepage) to fix this, i cant add my meta data there. Instead, in directs me to the static homepage again (in my case Voorpagina) again. Why? On my other domains i can just add my meta data there.
How can i fix this?
– Also, i wanna keep the colors of my blocktitle tabs, but i dont want the categories and posttitles light up the same color. I just want them to be black. How can i do this?
Hello,
If you use a plugin like smush or an external tool to optimize images, then the quality loss can come from there. For the cropping, make sure you use a plugin to regenerate thumbs such as ‘force regenerate’
For the page title on the chrome tab, you will have to use SEO by Yoast as the theme cannot change the titles in the browser tabs. I’m not sure about the redirect issue though. It could be a plugin conflict with other plugins.
If a color is added to a block then the hover color also changes.
If you want to remove the hover color from all blocks, please add this code in the theme panel-> custom css box:
.td_block_inner .td_module_wrap:hover .entry-title a{
color:black!important;
}
Thank you!
