Just got this theme and I need some help. 1. There seems no tot be anything differentiating the post area and sidebar. I need code to wrap the sidebar widgets into. I try using this code. .td-ss-main-sidebar aside.widget { border: 1px solid #eee; padding: 4px; }

it works for only custom code but I want it to have a background color as well as border and it should affect all blocks and anything showing on the sidebar.

2. I am using the grid style layout and I want border round each grid. See screenshot http://prntscr.com/cioqe2

3. I want each comments to be wrap in a box as well.

4. The author box have a box round it, I want same box for next and previous article.

5. I currently deactivate date because it is showing up on search engines. But I want the date to show on site but not on search engines.

6. I don’t want the breadcrumbs also to show on search engines. So how will I deactivate the seo friendly bread crumbs.

Hello hadharm,

1,2,3,4)I need your website URL so I can inspect it closer and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate code.
5)Please notice that our theme does not have any control regarding on Google Search engine and any meta info which are enabled on your site will be indexed by Google. The only way in this regard, if you do not want to show your data would be to disable from the panel.
6) The Breadcrumbs can be disabled from Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/xNW5rvngK For more information about this feature, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/breadcrumbs/

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi hadharm,

2)If you want to have that border for each thumb, please try a bit of CSS code to do that.

The code is ->

.td-module-thumb{
border: 2px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
}

The result -> http://screencast.com/t/xQxQZod9l4

3)Try the below method ->

.comments article {
border:1px solid black;
}

The result -> http://screencast.com/t/f6LgaFvib

5)I have explained you above regarding on this way.

1) http://screencast.com/t/gB4iQcx5 -> http://screencast.com/t/LMZVWnSC9M First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme because in this version we have introduced these settings.

2)Please check the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-make-this/ and try to implement the last modified date as my explanation. Please notice that further you will need to do some adjustments with CSS code for better result and is you are not aware of these, consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry! Please notice that all of these requests involves custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!

3)The mobile theme does not support the Sidebar. If you want to add this feature, you will have to manually implement it through the code but this task involves custom work and we care not available for this, at the moment, sorry!

Thanks.

You didnot talk wraapping sidebar widgets into border anymore. But if that seems not possible no problem.

The code below only works for thumbnails but I want the border to cover thumbnails, article title, Author name. I don’t want it to work for any other widget or blocks. Only for home page and archive post list.
.td-module-thumb{
border: 2px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
}

The above code shows this ===> http://prntscr.com/ckeahl
But I want it like this ===> http://prntscr.com/ckeb6h

3. I want the the follow us section of mobile footer to only show. I don’t want the logo and the about us to show anymore.
4. I want to create a file as mobile-sidebar.php and call it before footer. But is there a way I can insert latest comments and popular posts to the php file?
5. I am not using the page builder as homepage but I will like the trending now to show at the top on mobile and web versions.
6. Lastly, I want to change related articles text to what others are reading.

7. While trying to customize the h2 to h6 tags with the below code:

h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
    background-color: #008CBA; /* Blue */
    padding: 4px 5px;
    text-align: left;
    display: inline-block;
}

The code above works but it affects items in footer widgets, sidebar and related posts areas. I want the code to work only in the post area. I also want to add a small icon(http://techblogng.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/button.png) at the left of the button before text.
Thanks in Advance

Hello hadharm,

If you want to frame the entire thumbnail with all meta information, you will have to replace the .td-module-thumb with the modules which are used by your displayed block. For example, if you are using the Block 1, you will have to use .td_module_4 and .td_module_6 as classes because these are used in that Block. The example of the code for this Block is here ->

.td_module_4, .td_module_6{
border: 2px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
padding:2px;
}

For more information about Blocks/Modules, please check this section of Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/K4ctencdgg

3) Try the code below ->

@media(max-width:767px){
.footer-logo-wrap, .footer-text-wrap{
display:none;
}
}

4)To bring the most popular posts you can use a Block sorted by Popular, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/QAU0S6ClysR and for bringing the Latest commented posts, you will have to use some plugins which have this functionality or if you are an experimented person with coding, you can implement yourself this task. We cannot help you in this regard because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

5)The mobile plugin does not support the Visual Composer shortcode and therefore, you cannot use the Trending Now Block in Mobile Theme, sorry! If you want to make it to work, please do it yourself because this task requires custom work.

6)If you want to change the functionality of Related Articles you will have to alter the code from the core file, where this feature is created, like -> http://screencast.com/t/cvoGdGF5 and here -> http://screencast.com/t/xF0VeNmQW

7)If you want that you code working only for post pages, you will have to add the .single class after your code to be more precise in this regard. You can use the shortcode method to add this button, using the Visual Composer, like Text Block element. In that Block, you can add your button, and then injects the shortcode generated in VC for that element in the content, before your text, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/wHSERMLja -> http://screencast.com/t/lJS3epysxiMS

Thanks for your understanding!

.td-footer-description, .footer-email-wrap, .td-footer-logo{
display:none;

The code above works for hiding footer descripion and footer logo.

I have created the mobile-sidebar.php. I also created the popular post block with visual composer but I am unable to call for the block in the mobile-sidebar.php.

Block shortcode is – [td_block_21 custom_title=”Popular Posts” sort=”popular” td_ajax_preloading=”preload” ajax_pagination=”load_more”]

Hello hadharm,

As a hint, you can try to use the do_shortcode() method for calling that shortcode. For more information about functionalities of this method, please consult here -> https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/

Thanks for your message!

I’m meeting some problem using a shortcode in the Header AD section of theme config.
I have a shortcode like that :
[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”1056″]

I’ve tried to put :
[pro_ad_display_adzone id=”1056″]
and
<?php echo do_shortcode(“[pro_ad_display_adzone id=1056]”); ?>
in the “Your Header AD” field.
I have no results. Sometimes, just a fast “flash” with the first banner to show.

Moreover, if i put the same shortcode inside a page, in a text block, the shortcode runs perfectly.

The pugin i’m using is “WP Pro Ad System”

Do you have any suggestion?
Thank You
Maurizio

HI

We didn’t tested WP Pro Ad System plugin and we’re not aware of its functionality in order to provide an accurate answer. However if the shortcode display ads when is sued in a text block it should also display ads when is added in theme’s ad spots. You can’t use php code in theme panel, just the shortcode can be pasted there.
You can try to echo out the shortcode directly in header file corresponding with header style used: http://screencast.com/t/ImUvTvAaZeFg and check how it goes.

Thanks!

Done,
but i have the same behaviour.
I’ve tried to put the same php do_shortcode on the header-style-1.php file, and i just get a really short flash showing the first banner.
Thank You

Hello weeshsrl,

Do you use the Speed Booster? This behaviour can happen due to this plugin. Try to disable this if you use it, clear all your caches and test it again. Also, if this is still there, please notice that this type of plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the theme behaviour with this type of plugin and also, we cannot give an accurate answer in this regard. Please notice that the Ad System is not a live feature and it may take a while until update and that’s why this flash.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Catalin,
i don’t use Speed Booster.
The Ad System i’m using is one of the most used, and i’ve used that plugin on many other themes without any problem. As you know, with newspaper, the shortcode inside a block text is running, but not inside the header (both shortcode or php). So, could you suppose that your theme may have a little problem?
Thank you
Maurizio

Hello weeshsrl,

I have not your website and therefore, I cannot inspect it closer. Please provide your website URL so I can make deeper investigations in this regard and maybe I can back to you with a solution.

Thanks for your understanding!

Please I want to deactivate top ads showing below navigation menu on homepage only.
Can I also edit big grid 7 to 5 or 6 small box of articles on only a single line and remove the big 3 at the tops. See here ==> http://prntscr.com/crkcuk

Post count: 23312

Hello hadharm,

Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to change the structure of our Big Grids, sorry! Please keep in mind that each of Big Grid is custom made and if you want to change their structure, you will need to edit the code and place notice that is not a simple task to do that. If you want to display more levels in our theme and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

Thanks for your understanding!

I want to deactivate top ads showing below navigation menu on homepage only but it should display on post page.

Post count: 23312

Hello hadharm,

Do you are referring to the header ads? If you want to remove it, you can do it from the Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/mBjxlZX6Pxdt Please notice that if you want to display your ads only for posts at the top of the page, you will have to use the Article Top Ads, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/0ONWwXfBEnU

If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.

Thanks for the message!

After adding the code in my header ad. The ads is showing on all pages on the website. How can I make the header ads not to display on homepage. I don’t like it displaying on homepage.

Post count: 23312

Hello hadharm,

You will have to target only the homepage for your custom CSS code. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.

The code is ->

.home .td-header-sp-recs{
display:none!important;
}

Thanks.
