Hello,

My website is http://jazko.com/#

1) Where should I go to remove STAY CONNECTED (facebook/twitter/youtube) I don’t mean to remove the social icons for all pages, but do not want them to appear on the homepage to show how many followers at first sight. Can I remove the entire section including the bar says ” STAY CONNECTED”?

2) I am installing Default Demo (dummy version) , and wonder where should I go to edit the articles for “Lifestyle News” and “Make It Modern”? In other word, how do I choose which articles to show up on those sections? Can the headline or title to be changed from ” Lifestyle News” to “Lifestyle”? or they cannot be changed?

3) What tags do I need to add to make sure stories show up on the top of the page? Big rectangular space(not ads) cut into 4 different categories? Where can I go to change the setting if I want them to be reduced to 1 big space for top story only? (1 instead of 4)

4) If you roll down on homepage, to Lifestyle news section, you can find first article written in Chinese. I added the phrase “tbd” to the story. My question is, I don’t want to reveal all story when people read them on homepage. I want it to stopped at where I typed “tbd” , so the readers who are interested to carry on, they can hit “Read More…” and enter that page to finish up the story. How do I do that?

5) If I want to remove the whole section at homepage as I think it is too long for readers to scroll down to the bottom. Let’s say, if I wish to remove the entire section of Tech and Gadgets, where should I go to do so?

Thank you for your help.

I got another question to ask. The tutorial movies I see on youtube are using tagDiv builder. I use wordpress, and trying to change everything from the theme panel. Is it faster to use tagDiv builder?

Can I change setting from both in the future or I need to chose one or another?

Hello,

1) You will have to edit your page using the tagdiv composer and remove the element. You will have to learn how to use the page builder to add or remove elements from pages: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/

2) The articles shown ion block can be changed from the block settings. Again, in the page builder. This guide should help with the settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/

3) Sorry but yopu cannot split a block into 4 separate categories. A block is treated as a whole element. THe filtering can be changed for it, but not for each section separately.

4) When using a language that does not use spacing for it’s characters you will need to change the excerpts of the theme based on letters not words: https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/

5) that is not a section but a block. You have to edit your page and delete the block. Use the guide above to properly make use of the page builder.

6) The theme panel and the tagdiv page builder are 2 different things. They are not the same thing and do not provide the same options. The page builder is used for creating pages and the theme panel is used for everything else.

Thank you!

Hello,

Thanks for your prompt reply on many of the questions. However, as for number 4, I still have problem to stop the paragraph , after changed setting to theme based on letters.

If you scroll down on my homepage, you can still see it is showing the full content, not just the first paragraph as I wanted it to be.

Please guide me what to do. Thanks.

Hello,

I have more questions.

1) Can you please tell me how to set up the post links? Please see below:

Beauty – http://jazko.com/beauty/xxx (let’s assume the name of the post is called xxx)
Fashion – http://jazko.com/fashion/yyy

As for now, I know it should be custom, but not sure what to type in to that space. I do not want date or year to be included on the URL links.

2) I am the admin of my website. I also create an editor and author account. Somehow, if I log in as author or editor, the top of wordpress has weird codes. If I log in as admin, everything runs normal. Also, I cannot preview post as an editor or author, only as admin. Can you please tell me what is happening and how to fix this?

3) Can you please tell me where exactly to go to remove icons for facebook/twitter/subscribers on the homepage? I tried to look them up, not sure which block they are.

Thank you.

Hello,

I got another question.

What is menu? What is category?

If I want to change categories, where should I go to make such changes? For example, It is now called Lifestyle, what is I want them to called “My Lifestyle”

I even want to replace everything up in the category, not sure where exactly should I go to make this miracle happen.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi,

You probably have not cleared cache after making the changes. Now your excerpts settings apply but they are too short. You should increase the number as words are not = to letters. You should make the numbers larger. Right now even your titles are being cut.
1) Please check this link: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks
2) Please provide an example of the code you mention. An author and editor has these limitations in place: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
3) It is the social counter block. Edit your page with the tagdiv composer and delete the element. Please use this guide to learn how to use the page builder: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
In order to cahnge category names, you will have to access the wordpress category settings: http://www.wpbeginner.com/glossary/category/

I think you will need a few good WordPress beginners tutorials so you can learn the basic stuff first: Please check this guide: http://www.wpbeginner.com/start-here/

Thank you!

Hello,

I am still having issues on how to increase the number as letters. Can you please tell me where to go to make such changes? I don’t see any space in Excerpts settings asking me to fill in the number. However, I found another setting in Settings->General->Cache Level(level2 = normal)

Can you please tell me what are the main difference if I set them to level 1 to level 4?

Also, a quick question. Where can I go to create front page and change all the categories into what I want them to name?

Thank you.

Hi,

There should not be any problem changing the length of the excerpt, to your liking. This can be done for each block module in particular. Each theme block is made of modules
https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
The length of the post tile can be modified for all the modules, they all have this option
https://www.screencast.com/t/uSZvrSzNRa
But not all the modules display a content excerpt
https://www.screencast.com/t/EQk5pwQY2u
You will have to make this modification for the modules needed, and maybe go to the cache settings and clear it after making the changes.
Regarding the cache you are using, you will have to consult the cache instructions for more information about it’s settings and what they do.
About the page you mention, I don’t think I fully understand what you mean. Any block, grid or element can be added on pages, with the composer. Please follow the tagDiv composer tutorial and also this useful guide for block settings
https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Here you can see all the available blocks and grids
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/

Thanks

Hello,

Those information are helpful. I have a few more questions.

1) Where can I go to change “cache setting” ?

2) If I want my article to named as http://www.jazko.com/travel/hotel/ritz

Assuming I want this specific article to be called as ritz, and under category travel. Can you please tell me how to change the permalinks? I have hotel and attraction under travel category. Therefore, I’d like to have my article names in that order as above.

3) I am still having trouble to have editor/author to save or publish a post. I have no problem to do so as an admin. Can you please tell me if there may be any setting I need to change in order to have them run smoothly? If you don’t quite understand, what would you need in order to help me to do so?

Thank you.

one more question.

Continue with the above question. If I want my article to be named as http://www.jazko.com/travel/hotel/ritz , and I have travel/hotel both in the category to choose with hotel being the sub-category. How should I choose in order to have the URL to appear the way I want it?

Thanks again!

Hi,

1. The theme does not have any caching for the website. There are plugins for this purpose. The recommended caching plugin is the WP Super Cache
https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Or maybe there is server side caching, you could check with your hosting provider for more information.

2. The permalinks can be changed in the WordPress settings based on the available capability and functionality of WordPress, please check the guide provided by Bogdan. The theme does not add any other settings to modify permalinks.
In terms of SEO you can check this guide for useful tips regarding permalinks structure
https://yoast.com/wordpress-seo-url-permalink/

3. Author roles and above have the options and capability to publish posts, according to the WordPress default user roles
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/wordpress-user-roles-and-permissions/
There should be no problem having your authors and editors create and publish posts. I have tested this and it is working as it should. By default these user roles can publish post. Make sure these users have the role required
https://www.screencast.com/t/Zlcsiy2i5P3I
I believe the default user role is set to subscriber, maybe all your users are subscribers. These do not have access to post publishing.

Thanks

Hello ,

I think you misunderstood what I meant by authors and editors having issue with posting. I understand what you meant, but please see photos below:

Do you know what went wrong? I took images, but there is nowhere I can attach image to show you.

Hi,

All those warnings seem to be relayed to a mojo marketplace plugin, please try deactivating that plugin and check the results, and if it is still causing problems.

Thanks

Hello,

That just solved the issue. Thank you!

By the way, I don’t recall I installed that plug-in, did it come as a package with newspaper? Does it mean some of the plug-in available online may not be usable for people who use newspaper for their themes? If that happens again, and it happens to be an important plug-in such as SEO or such, how can we solve the issue to make both work?

Post count: 20688

Hi,

That did not come with the theme. All the plugins we provide are carefully tested and do not create problems with the theme
https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
Compatibility with plugins is a general statement, not particular to Newspaper. There is no universal theme that works with all plugins created. Some plugins are compatible and others not, but since there are a lot of plugins to choose from this may not be such a big problem.
For SEO purposes you can use the Yoast SEO plugin, that is the recommended choice.

Thanks

Hello ,

Can you please suggest me which other most popular plugins are recommended to go with Newspaper? Jetpack? Anything else?

Thanks.

Post count: 20688

Hi,

The regularly tested plugins are these
https://www.screencast.com/t/QlOvZWLm2
That does not mean that others will surely not work. You can install other plugins normally and try them, for the things you need.

Thanks

Hello,

I have another question. For each page, do I need to choose the blocks or can I use default function and apply them to all pages for each categories?

Thanks.

Post count: 59

Hello,

I have another question. For each category, I’d like to choose block to show 10 articles per page, then move on to page 2. How should I do that? It suppose to have over 50 articles per categories, so in theory, it should have 5 pages at least. However, is there any function that I can ask it to show up to page 3 and more?

In other word, if you are at page 2, you can click to choose page 2 3 or 4…rest will show up with more. If not, that is fine, I just want to limit the articles down to 10 per page. Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi,

The category pages can be customized only though the theme panel at the moment
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
You can choose a category template for each category or globally
https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-templates/
Same with the top posts style grids
https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-top-post-styles-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-grid-styles/
Different pagination styles can be set for the category pages, and backgrounds as well, in the Per category settings
https://www.screencast.com/t/BoanQnXiO
https://www.screencast.com/t/uKRKR86KRPpL
The number of posts displayed on the category pages depends on the value entered here

Hello,

If we have 100 articles, but 70 written in Chinese, and 30 in English. How can I keep it on the same website under one domain, but to show them differently under different language option.

For example, if people choose to read Chinese version, then 70 would show up. If they choose English, then 30 articles would show up instead. However, they are all under one domain.

The key is to focus on two total group of readers, but I do not wish to create two websites as the content is the same and would like to keep them in one. Is it possible to do so? I am thinking maybe I can have the sublink to add /CH/ when it comes to Chinese, and /EN/ when it comes to English?

Thanks.

Hi,

The posts can be split in categories, that is default behavior. You could create pages where you can assign categories that contain posts in Chinese only, for the grids and blocks, and other pages that contain the rest of the posts. Or mix the content on the same pages, grouped in blocks.
For example create a menu item called “Chinese” and add it to the menu, linking to a page you create
https://www.screencast.com/t/lmxHaP7M
Create that page where you will use only blocks and grids that display posts in Chinese, so when the user clicks on that menu item, it will be directed to the Chinese page
https://www.screencast.com/t/9bkEnHIV
Or you could use multilingual plugins, here is some more information
https://codex.wordpress.org/Multilingual_WordPress
http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-easily-create-a-multilingual-wordpress-site/

Hello,

Where should I go to change setting to have one full big grid, but have 5~10 images in rotation.

For example: Please check the top photo on https://www.vogue.co.jp/

Thank you.
