Hi,
TagDiv support recommended MailerLite for subscription platform for newsletter plugin by TagDiv. Please advise What platform to take, process and provide invoice for payments that integrates with Mailelite and MailJet or Benchmark subscriptoin platforms? Is there a newsletter platform that does your payments for you? I found Chargbee as a platform to taking payments.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Cyrus
Hi,
Our newsletter plugin currently supports 3 providers – http://prntscr.com/ojr7pn
You can use any of them. But it is not required to use our newsletter plugin and these providers, there are lots of other newsletter plugins available. Choose what is best for your website and your needs.
Check online reviews for both plugins and providers, feedback from other users regarding them, and hopefully find the perfect plugin and provider for you.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
1. Would you please tell me to edit the picture in the Author site wide, and individually, and how to add additional authors? As the site only bools from Administrator author only.
2. In the Column Text Element, there is Block Header 17, Used in Static pages, how do I use that for Posts via individual and site wide?
3. In the Single Image Element, there is 3Dshadow that I used for still images on static pages. How can I used that on post pictures?
4. Is there a plugin that works well with Newspaper 9 to restricts content or user based on 1 article, 5, or even half or portion of a article?
5. I chose MailChimp with Newspaper 9, after someone subscribes to my newsletter, and I want their access to limit to the articles based on number of articles views or a portion, once that restriction is set, how does the system within Newspaper 9, and or the Plugin recognize and allow users who have paid a subscription? I see in the theme there is Join or Sign in, is that the only way? Please send links with pictures, and with explanation.
Simion, I really appreciate if you answer these questions yourself, as I found your answers very detailed and easy to understand.
Thank you Simion.
Best,
Cyrus
Thank you,

Hi,
1. Please check these guides – https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-add-new-users-and-authors-to-your-wordpress-blog/
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-an-authors-photo-in-wordpress/
2. The theme provides 17 block header styles – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-1/
You can choose one in general in the theme panel – https://prnt.sc/olve2b
Also there are options per block/element in the composer – https://prnt.sc/olvera
The setting in the composer will override the setting in the theme panel. So for example if I set in the theme panel block header style 2 – https://prnt.sc/olvfhy and a different one in the composer for specific blocks/elements, the one from the composer will apply
– https://prnt.sc/olvg0h
3. Those are different things, the settings that the composer has for the single image element can’t be used for images inside the post content if that is what you mean. If I misunderstand let me know.
4. Can’t say which plugin to use exactly, most membership plugins offer content restriction as far as I know. try some free plugins if possible, and check how they work and if they have the options you require – https://justlearnwp.com/most-popular-best-free-wordpress-membership-plugins/
5. That would be up to the membership plugin, if it has a content restriction it must have options to remove the restriction based on an action. If it can do it based on an user having paid the subscription, then it is possible.
The sign in/join allows users to log in the website. The theme ads a modal window as design – https://prnt.sc/olvr8t but the functionality is the same as the default WordPress login screen – https://prnt.sc/olvruf
Membership plugins may have their own login that maybe has to be used.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
Thank for for the answers. For number 3, yes, that is what meant.
Based on your explanation of Pages VS Category, I think I am almost done building almost understand the functionality of the difference. I am stuck at one section between the difference, Please explain.
Some background. Post page does not allow for DagDiv Builer to be enabled when I make my my home page the static page under “You home page displays” because I want the logo and the menu main page title to lead to the main page and for the main website address to lead to the main page, which is mostly informative single display images with stationary content, other than 1 section for news in the builder. Issue below
1. I built 8 pages, which are static, and built 1 page meant for all the news so anyone can pick general news and see all, or pick from the menu 3 categories that have there own individual pages under categories for their own specific topics. Although they all post to the Page for all the news. The issue is. UNDER SETTING AND READING, I picked Home Page to be my main static site, (most content is information only ), and post pages to be the news page under Pages, however it converts it to a category while deactivating the TagBuilder and just shows feeds. I would like the TagBuilder to be active, so that I may want to put a Revolution Slider, or a Topic header, how to do that without making the homepage the post page?
2. Under this scenario where Settings and Reading is set to Static for Homepage so that the site lands on the homepage without all articles going to it like a category, the Post page reads Home -Blog under the Post Page. How to Change the word Blog to something else? and Add other categories to the Crumbs?
I think I almost figured this whole Page-Category Issue out, and I am using the SEO for mask the Permalinks.
Thank You Simion,
Cyrus

Hi,
For the homepage you can choose a static page, or the default WordPress blog page (your latest posts)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
The blog page doesn’t have many settings, it will be a list of the posts you have published sorted by latest.
The logo will always lead to the website homepage when clicked. The homepage you set in the WordPress reading settings. You can also add the homepage in the menu, as on our demo
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
1/2. I don’t quite understand what you want to do with those pages. Create as many pages as you want with the elements you want in them, there is no limit.
The post page option in the WordPress reading settings won’t be used by the theme
– https://prnt.sc/omb6d1 as there is not need for it. With the composer you can build any page and configure it to display the desired content, and add it to the menu if needed.
Let me know.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
These may be my last questions before I activate all 4 websites and licenses.
Grateful for your answers. I was told to pick a post page. I deactivated a post page, and keeping TagDiv on every page, so that issue is solved but still the other issue exists which is…
1.I have a news page that is NOT the home page and there is no designated post page. But I also have other categories. How do I choose for some articles within their own category or general posts to go on the main news page that I created as a the page to receive all news, but some articles to only go on the specific category page I like to choose and not show in the first page of the main news page? And how do I keep one specific post at the top and not let new post drop it down?
2. In the Tag builder, how do I command a block, or a grid with news to be which category I want in that page, or even lets say in a block of 5 to have 3 articles from one category and 2 of them from other categories? So If I have 8 different blocks, or categories on a page, how do I differentiate them and their content?
3. How to tell the TagDiv system to keep an article active in the main news page, (Not Home Page) or category and not be filtered down by new posts, and or tell a block or grid of 3 or 5, to keep one important post permanent active while the other posts to rotate based on new posts? And would your answer apply the same way for the home page?
4. How do I change the Footer content of Fuetures, Popular, or editors choice based on pages or categories. For example, if I have category of finance, I may want the category economics and politics in the footer popular/editor choice, future article sections, rather than having it site wide? Or I may want certain posts.
5. The footer content has a section “Email US” But it is blue and hard to read, I don’t a section in the Theme Colors to change that to white since the background is black?
Thank you Very Much Simion,
Best,
Cyrus
Hi,
1. So you have created a page besides the homepage. Pages can display any posts you want, the blocks have an extensive filtering and sorting options, please see this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Posts that appear in blocks will lead to the post page.
So for example you can place 5 blocks, each can show posts from your desired categories. Most sorting methods are dynamic, an exception would the featured method
– https://prnt.sc/onaz3p
If you would like to make a block or grid display specific posts, you could sort by featured for more control. That means that only posts that you assign to the Featured category will appear in that element – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/
If you add just one post in the featured category, that will be displayed in the block until another one is added, and so on.
2. Each block or grid can be filtered as a whole. So it is not possible to filter it to show 3 posts from one specific category, and 2 from another – https://prnt.sc/onb1tz
Use multiple blocks to have a different filtering set on them.
3. One way is to use the featured sort, as mentioned in my first answer. But the posts will still cycle as you enter more in the featured category.
You could enter post IDs manually in the provided filter – https://prnt.sc/onb38k
Once post IDs are entered there, that block or grid will always show only those posts, until you edit the page and replace/remove them.
The filtering and sorting will affect the block or grid as a whole, the posts will be displayed accordingly. There can’t be a static (sticky) post in one module while the rest use a different sort.
4. Some footer styles come with predefined content, this content can’t be changed. The widgets you mention are 2 block 7 widgets and a popular category widget, that are predefined in the footer, they can’t be removed or customized.
If you want to replicate this but with your own settings, you can choose an empty footer template – https://prnt.sc/onb6qy and add a block 7 widget in the first and second footer section, and a popular category in the third – https://prnt.sc/onb7gj COnfigure them as you want. The popular category widget will show categories which have the most posts in them automatically.
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
The theme provides an option to set a footer page instead of a template. So you can also create a page and set it to appear in the footer, instead of a template.
5. I believe you are referring to the email in the footer
– https://prnt.sc/onb9rt
Like other elements the color of the email link will be the theme accent color
– https://prnt.sc/onba0q
A dedicated setting just for the email isn’t available unfortunately. However I could give you a code to change it’s color without changing thew theme accent color
– https://prnt.sc/onbbz1
The code can be entered in the Theme panel->Custom code->CSS section
– https://prnt.sc/onbc7d – https://pastebin.com/8aeM6F9a
Please let me know if I missed something.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
I think its all good now. One final thing, do you guys have short codes to give so I can restrict content access until they sign up for subscription, mainly partial access, meaning they read a little bit of the article? Something that goes with the Newsletter plug and Mailchimp. There is Paid Membership Pro, but than they have their services knocking out your guys built in news plug ins.
You helped a lot. I think I will have the tools to complete what I need thanks to your help.
Best,
Cyrus
Yes, Simion, I would like a code please that reads white for the footer. Thank you.
Hi,
Unfortunately we do not have a code that allow the users to have access only to a part of the article/post until the are log, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
