Hello there TagDiv Team,
I don’t see Featured image settings under Post Settings. Screenshot attached.
Also I want to change the featured Images cropping. currently its cropping from middle (displaying only body) but I need it top so the Face is shown. Attaching screenshot
Hello,
I think that your screenshot is from a block -> https://prnt.sc/ec9HJs1IP4ct so please let me know what block you use.
Thank you!
This is secondary issue: I’m using this theme : https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_style_pro/ so you can see the blocks.
My main issue is to remove featured Image from displaying on Single Post. I followed : https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
but I dont have this setting : https://prnt.sc/-5CTFoQzgHj0
what I see is : https://prnt.sc/L026Rwe1g8N7
how can I enable featured Image settings?
Hi,
You need to edit the Single Post Template with tagdiv Composer and delete the Single Featured Image with right-click https://i.imgur.com/ZRO4Dju.jpg
For the images on the blocks, please check those settings -> https://i.imgur.com/AautwWO.jpg
Thank you!
wow that was easy. I spent last night trying to figured it out and slept in frustation. 🙁
Thanks again.
now I deleted a block by I see this. how do I delete the enough blocks : https://prnt.sc/HBC4eAWG0mMF
Hello,
You can change the layout of the row -> https://i.imgur.com/sKembsA.png You can find more details here -> https://tagdiv.com/flexibility-rows-columns-newspaper-theme/
You can not delete the empty column, only the row that contains empty columns.
If you want to delete a row, you can delete a row with the empty column using the right click on the row icon -> http://prntscr.com/owlyuw -> http://prntscr.com/owlynq or using the drag and drop -> http://prntscr.com/owlz2r or you can simply click on the row and press the delete button from your keyboard -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Mai7iyEG The same steps are to delete the elements.
Thank you!
Images you linked are not loading: > http://prntscr.com/owlyuw -> http://prntscr.com/owlynq or using the drag and drop -> http://prntscr.com/owlz2r
also the issue is I see a big empty space between the blocks (the ones I deleted) : https://prnt.sc/wzHU5ssxP28o
so I need to remove these to remove that gap: https://prnt.sc/HBC4eAWG0mMF
just deleted the row and its come. space has lowered but its still there. : https://prnt.sc/VfoQe9zy3A1J
seems like under block has row extended thats acting as space gap. anything that can be done?
Hello,
The page loading speed can depend on many factors, and each website is unique from this point of view. Let me explain some of these factors and maybe they give you some starting points for optimizing your website. A good choice for the page speed, could be the mobile layout which contains fewer elements because it can improve a bit your page speed.
There are many optimization guides provided by our users here in the forum, some made by us; you could check some of them

Also, pagespeed is not covered by support -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-support/
If you use Wp Rocket, you can try to exclude the following files
/jquery-?[0-9.](.*)(.min|.slim|.slim.min)?.js
/jquery-migrate(.min)?.js
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js
tdBlocksArray
To be able to optimize and to remove CLS and LCP please check these guide => https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/ -> https://www.sqlpac.com/en/documents/google-pagespeeds-lighthouse-6-new-features-lcp-cls.html -> https://web.dev/lighthouse-whats-new-6.0/ -> https://web.dev/lcp/ -> https://web.dev/cls/
Thank you!
thank for the post. I will scan it with detail.
another issue. website.com/author redirects to tdb_templates/author-template
Is there a way to stop that?
Hi,
This is how it works; you can set a redirect for that link. Normally, there is the name of the author, not the word author https://i.imgur.com/luqzFk9.jpg ->https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/26/wordpress-5-5-better-fine-grained-control-of-redirect_guess_404_permalink/
Thank you!
Another issue. I did made changes as suggested here: https://i.imgur.com/AautwWO.jpg
they look fine while editing but after sometime change back to images showing center of the image. I changed settings they are saved.
can I send the URL privately for your viewing and inspection?
Hi,
Please clear the cache.
Thank you!
Hi,

/jquery-migrate(.min)?.js

May I ask why should exclude those files? What will happen If i don’t exclude them?
And where should I exclude them? Under the Minify or Deferred JS function?
Thanks
I’m actually using Openlitespeed and have Litespeed plugin installed. I did cleared the cache. if you want you can take a look I can send the url.
Hi,
Sometimes, it can appear issues on the website if you do not exclude them, but it depends on what settings you have on the website.
Thank you!
I have installed Mobile theme and loading speed has improved.
1. I’d like to know how can I change the text Latest Articles to Latest News as the site is about news and not articles.
2. Can I change grids on the homepage to see box shape like in desktop version. so it looks better?
3. How can I make Social Media Share Icons to open in new windows on both mobile and desktop themes?
4. Also in desktop version how can I make Social Media Sharing Icons to color and square shaped?
Hello,
1. You can translate the title “Latest articles”,from Theme Panel -> Translations -> Translations -> https://i.imgur.com/au65th8.png -> https://i.imgur.com/E46N46d.png
2. Unfortunately, no.
3. There is no option to open in a new tab, but the social shares are opened in the popup.
4. There are some styles for sharing https://i.imgur.com/wvVBD6X.jpg
Thank you!
Hello there,
1. I need to turn off Publish Date / Author on posts. How do I do that?
Hello,
You can remove the Single Post Author Box using Edit with tagDiv Composer with a right-click you can delete => https://i.imgur.com/BnhhxVh.png , or selecting the element and with drag & drop place into the deleting red zone from the bottom right of the page => https://i.imgur.com/vkQVCjn.jpg the same for date.
this change will be applied to all posts that use that template and you can delete any element like this.
Thank you!
