Hi. I did not see an import button for single template 17 on the new plugin you introduced. Again, can that look be adapted for the post templates on the theme panel? Thanks.
Hi,
It should be like in this example for a single post template, first select the template you wish to import and click on it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TcqznPFtMaX
Then click create template and the composer should open with an import dialog
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XU7eqxb8upFW
– https://www.screencast.com/t/vH1JwOLKoyw
Or as you edit a created template with the composer, use the load template button
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EV1DM7HVg3S
– https://www.screencast.com/t/YJnQD8BXl
That will replace the previous template, if maybe you do not wish to have many templates created. What button is not appearing exactly? Try to clear the browser cache, or force refresh the page. Let us know.
Thanks
So, this is how single templates are showing in chrome on my end http://prntscr.com/jroje1 and even scrolling does not show the rest of the information. It seems the popup is cutting some information below what is appearing on the screen (laptop, 1366×768, see http://prntscr.com/jrop9y). Also to mention, when I use td composer directly to load the templates, all the single ones disappear from the list. This is how ut looks on firefox http://prntscr.com/jroz51.
I was able to see the rest of the content by decreasing the size of the window (control+-), including the create template button. It seems the popup is zooming in at 100%. Can this be a bug?
Another question, why not also adopt the full-width template as part of the default theme templates? I tried single template 17 and it made my single posts three times as big with the same cache settings.
Using the load template from the composer will allow you to load a template according to what you were previously editing.
So for example if you were editing a single template, you can load a different single template and sections, or if you were editing an author template you can load a different author template and sections. Sections I believe is an option for all templates.
Regarding that responsive issue when using smaller resolutions, I have added it on our list and we will find a solution as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You can further customize the post template after you import it, the template 17 you mention loads a larger featured image size

But you can change that as you wish.
Thanks for answering. I use a minification plugin (fast velocity minify) with Newspaper for speed and I have seen that using the single template 17 causes Gzip compression issues while I have enabled it by default (Gtmetrix says enable gzip compression: Compressing /wp-content/uploads/fvm/out/header-dd714063-1528369985.min.css could save 907.9KiB (87% reduction), see http://prntscr.com/js1eew), which does not happen with the inbuilt theme single templates, or even other parts of the site, except single page with template 17 enabled. I tried Autoptimize and the same issue happened. I tested single template 15 and the same issue did not occur. Could you be able to help me figure out what the issue is? I found out this is what is making the page to grow three times. (The average size of my single posts with current speed optimizations is around 600kb-750kb. I have reverted to template 8 for now, but still, I want to make template 17 work).
But I still would prefer if the tagdiv team also introduced the full-width template as part of the 13 default theme post templates (loop single and single template). I have done several customizations to the theme with regard to speed (example for a single post with 25 comments http://prntscr.com/js1nz8) and have managed to keep all my posts and pages below 1mb. I am not sure if that is a priority for now, but is it possible? (I am only using the cloud plugin for the full width feature only).
The new templates are not like the default templates, they are like pages more or less, containing tagDiv composer elements. I don’t know about that minification issue, I never tried or tested in the matter.
It is unusual that it happens only with that template, there is nothing different about it in regards to other templates. They are all built with the new composer elements

I can’t say unfortunately for the moment if there will be modifications or additions to the default post templates, or other default templates, in the future. I am not aware of such plans.
Seems like a strange thing then coz I tested other few templates and it is only 17 returning the error. Guess I will have to deactivate the plugin for now and stick with the default templates. My focus has been on speed and overall user experience (hence minimal look), and the full template which was my next desire is deteriorating speed. Let me try on a testing site and see if the issue occurs. Thanks anyway.
I decided to explore the other templates further. One more question, I use “last updated date” in my posts. Is it possible to introduce that for the single templates?
Could you also correct the share buttons coz they share the URL with the single template name (e.g. Single Post Template 24 https://cloud.tagdiv.com/tdb_templates/single-post-template-24/ via @tagDiv Cloud) rather than post url?
Also, I just thought template 17 was the full width only but figured out the others can be made full width by stretching the rows. Is that in the tutorial?
The time ago has been introduced for the post date, maybe a last updated will be introduced as well in a future update. This is a possibility.
We are also aware of the sharing issue, sorry for that inconvenience as well. All of these will be solved in a theme update.
The composer will indeed allow you to stretch elements in the post templates, just like on pages. Our documentation for the plugin will be improved and more instructions and examples will be added in the future.
Okay, thank you. The last updated date is very important for me because I have many posts that I keep updating and it would help me very much. And thanks for the rest of the assurance.
I have seen Yoast plugin has added this to my sitemap from the google search console /tdb_templates-sitemap.xml. What is this for?
You should remove those from the sitemap, those are the templates that you create/import. Access the Yoast SEO plugin settings and remove them from the search

Done. Thanks.
Hi. Correct this in flex module 2 “Modules image negataive right margin” and “Modules image negataive right margin”. Or is this done on purpose?
One more question, do you plan to introduce the More Article Box on the single templates from tagdiv cloud library? (Also, if possible, consider adopting the size of the “edit content” box for the column text and other text elements for smaller screens.)
That’s a mistake, thank you for mentioning it. I will add it on our fix list and it will be taken care of if it has not been fixed already.
It’s a possibility, we are open to suggestions. So maybe the more articles will receive some improvements or a different functionality in the future.
The edit content would look like this when editing for mobile

It’s size will adapt to see better how the content will end up looking for the intended device. Maybe I am misunderstanding this, please correct me.
Thanks for the answers. On my 15.6 inch laptop, the black bar showing wp editor and the close button does not appear, and after identifying this issue of minimizing the cloud library popup, I did the same with the column text element (reduced page to 80%) and that’s when that bar becomes visible. Before, I just used to click anywhere outside the edit content box for it to disappear. This is what I mean
1. Page or browser window at 100% (normal size) http://prntscr.com/jwanrd
2. At 80% http://prntscr.com/jwaomd
We were not aware of this, it was not mentioned before as far as I know. I will make a note of it, thank you for mentioning this.
You are welcome. It is both column text and text with title element that reproduce that issue.
Hi. What is the timeline for fixing the share buttons in single templates from tagdiv cloud library? I tried to create my own using a shortcode (and functions.php code) but they still show the template title and link rather than post title and link.
Hello epickenyan,
We hope for fixing it in near future update, as soon as possible.
Thanks.
