List of quirks and bugs in v6

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 37

I’ve decided to open this thread to help the devs to spot bugs and usability lacks since I love this theme, especially the new version. Here it comes:

1. Missing an option to set mobile header and icons
a. The only workaround is a manual CSS fix

2. Missing an option to style the extended footer (ABOUT US and FOLLOW US)
b. Actually is complicated to manually fix it since DIVs are wrappers and can’t put, for example, a different color on the background without making it uglier than it is. Only thing achievable is text-align:center for titles.

3. Social icons
c. They come in only one flavor and size. Too few to work with

4. Social icons on the extended footer
d. Have to change color and :hover manually but it’s a pain

5. Big slider (the one from v4 theme)
e. It is possible to achieve the same behavior on mobile view (images shown vertically and not horizontally with a bottom scroller) only if “posts to show” is set to 8 (or 12 or 16…). Should be advertised somewhere.

6. Sliders
f. We need an option to turn off the overlay gradient (images are too dark) and another to disable the ugly zoom in picture, please.

7. Translations
g. Are cool! But if you use two (or more) languages don’t mess with the TRANSLATIONS panel! Use Loco Translate plugin instead.

Others will come as soon as I’ll find them.
Keep up the good work!

Hi,

Unfortunately we cannot add options for elements from each sections of the theme, but we read and listen our clients suggestion and try to add more options and make a better implementation for this. We have over 250 features on our list(most of them suggested by clients) and we have to chose carefully which one get’s implemented next. Anyway I have added your suggestions on our list and I will answer to some of your suggestion in case that you want to fix using custom css(I know that are suggestions).
1. The top menu(where the social icons are enabled) was not designed for mobile devices. We hope to find a solution also for login/register for example to be displayed also on mobiles. You can use custom css to display social icons on top-menu:

.td-header-top-menu-full {
display: block;
} 

2. Please provide more details about what you want to change and how to look, maybe I can help you with some css code.

3. The icons are added like a font – http://screencast.com/t/tEw5qZYM so you can try to change the size or the font content – http://screencast.com/t/53Rk830uVf of course you need to customize to look fine.
4. Unfortunately you will have to use custom css to change color/hover color for footer social icons – http://screencast.com/t/3cw0BttN

.footer-social-wrap .td-icon-font {
color: red;
}
.td-social-icon-wrap i.td-icon-facebook:hover {
color: #fff;
}

6. If you refer to the Big Grid/Big Grid Slider you can use Style 4 please check the demo – http://screencast.com/t/EKVxfdxehttp://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
Please check this topic for zoom effect – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/dark-pictures/#post-54266

Thanks for suggestions!
