Hi Bogdan,
Sorry for all the troubles, I just did two updates to my site, the theme update and update to to WordPress 4.6. Now the design pages will not show, everything looks the same but the blocks designs are not opening, it’s funny because the preview shows the designed page. I will provide my username and password if you need it.
And lastly, I want to change the theme fonts.
Regards,
Stanley
Hi,
There seems to be a problem with visual composer and the latest version of WP. We will wait for visual composer to fix the issues and we will provide the update as soon as possible.
It’s best to hold on a bit when wordpress updates as plugins and themes need to adapt to the new version.
Thank you!
PS: try to update the theme and visual composer to the latest version (newspaper 6.7 and VC 4.11)
Hi Bodgan,
I’m using RSS Aggregator to feed news to my site, but it’s not working as it should, the news feed is NOT going to the specified categories and I’m wondering if it requires a css code or a widget, I can’t find te RSS Aggregator in the widget window.
Please help my check if my categories setting is wrong.
Regards,
Stanley
Hello Stanley,
Unfortunately we cannot help in this matter as we have not tested any rss plugin and we cannot say for sure which one will work properly or not. The first thing you can try before turning to customization is try out a couple of more rss plugins and see if there is one that works out of the box for your needs. Sorry for not having a better answer but I cannot provide a solution for something we have not tested and have idea of the functionality or implementation.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi Bogdan,
As started earlier, I’m using WP RSS AGGREGATOR for my news feed, It looks like I have to place a short code to the them ( [wp-rss-aggregator] ) I need help on where to place the short code
Hi,
As their official documentation states, you can either add it directly in the post content or in the theme template files here: http://screencast.com/t/xkE3LCYb
Every post style has it’s own file. You can use the do_shortcode function as theiur docs state at the bottom of the page
Thank you!

HI Bodgan,
I need help with adding the shortcode, I now I added a shortcode for the video player, any tutorial on adding the shortcode, just can’t work around the screentshot sample you sent me.
Regards,
Stanley
Hi,
My screenshot suggested adding a shortcode inside a page template file. What that means is addin a do_shortcode function like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('YOUR SHORTCODE HERE');?>
This line of code goes inside one of the post template files. Every post style you chose in post settings has it’s own file I pointed in the above screenshot. you can add this line of code inside different parts of the file for different positioning results. If this is too complicated, then you need to hire a freelancer to help out as this represents customization and above that, rss plugins are not tested with our theme so I cannot provide a solution as it will be just ‘guess work’.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
I’m having problem have video in my website, the video on the post page shows as an image, the only video that shows are mainly YouTube or other videos that are embedded in an article. The website is http://www.transnationaltv.com, it only show articles and not video news. How do I fix this
Regards. Stanley
Hello,
I have checked your site and all videos seem to work properly. Please provide an example of a video that is not working and please mention how you implemented it.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your response, don’t want to take much of your time, this is a sample of the site I am trying to build http://www.newsy.com/ , looks like all of their news is their content, I want to achieve the same, but I want to use the RSS Aggregator to feed the news now before the studio starts producing its own content .
So do you think I can achieve this with RSS Aggregator, what will I need to make this possible, how do I implement it.
Like I was trying to explain, I want the post page this way http://www.newsy.com/videos/olympic-race-walking-is-a-lot-harder-than-it-looks/ and not this http://transnationaltv.com/2016/07/21/1mdb-lawsuit-what-you-need-to-know/ , the second is from my website and it’s a video news, what I have in place of the video is a still Image of the video
I hope this helped in explaining my situation. Let

Hi Stanley,
Unfortunately we have not tested any RSS plugins so we cannot say for sure what they can or cannot do. What I can say is what the theme can do. Our theme was built with creating content in mind. Not pulling from external sources. So there is no theme option that can do this. For the post template, we do not have that sort of layout to provide. You can try to use visual composer on posts by activating it from post settings but this is not tested so it could provide mixed results. Try using blocks on posts or adding the layout directly in the post files by using the do_shortcode funtion: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
You can search through this forum for do_shortcode if you do not know how to use it as we provided solutions with it quite a few times. You use visual composer shortcodes inside the function and then add it in the post template files.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Thanks for your support, On the post layout, your theme post layout is perfect for the website and far better than the sample I showed you, used sample site for a better understanding of what I’m trying to do, I will try the options you suggested, I will always contact you if I have questions.

Stanley
Hello Bogdan,
I don’t know if you can help me with this, I tried updating the theme and after deleting the newspaper7 the add new button disappeared from the theme page, I have tried everything possible with no success, now I can upload the theme update because there is no add new or upload new theme button, I really need help.

Stanley
Hi Bogdan,
Please disregard my first question on installing theme, I have fixed it but I need help with the blocks and big grid in the elements. Is it possible to make changes or redesign blocks and Big grid elements?, and do the theme have more blocks and big grids I can activate or any plugin I can use to design blocks and big grids?
Regards, Stanley
Hi Stanley,
Unfortunately our blocks cannot be re-designed. They have a fixed layout that cannot be altered from the theme settings. This is why we provide a variety of blocks to chose from. There are 25 blocks http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ and 12 big grids to chose from: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
I know and have used the blocks, I want some flexibility with my block and grid designs, there are some designs in some websites I will like for my website, I just want to have control over the block and grid designs. In your documentary there is a mention of tagDiv composer plugin I added it to my site but it won’t work on its own or with my activated visual composer, if the plugin will work as described in the documentation it will solve my problem and I want to buy it. Please keep me posted on updates on the tagDiv composer plugin, it will be better if it can work with visual composer
Regards,
Stanley
Hello The Transnational Post,
Please notice that our tadDiv composer plugin it is in a constant development and that’s why the actual version is BETA mode. In principle, this plugin will be free of charge and it will come bundled with our theme. Also, when we will release a new update for this you will see to our website.
Thanks for your understanding!
Thanks

Hello,
There are clearly problems on your site. The first would be the page speed that is very very slow. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. This should fix most of your issues.
Next, please regenerate thumbs using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
As for the articles with no images, there is a placeholder for the case where the post has no featured image. Please add featured images to your posts using the default theme featured image implementation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
Thank you!
Hi,
I have tried everything, used plugins, but the issue with image size and one article posting more than once still persist, One of the developers sent me this email.
Umm i examine to your site. You use “newspaper theme”. The Newspaper theme has some problems about image sizes.
This theme default css is that: if image bigger than layout > cover, if image smaller than layout > don’t anything.
You need custom css edit. Our plugin work greatly. But Your problem about is CSS.
The English might not be good, but you can understand what he is trying to say, let me know how we can solve this problem, I need to launch the site, but can’t due to all this little problems
Thanks
