Replicate the Newsmag "Scandal" demo

Posted in: Newsmag

I installed the “Scandal” demo, and spent hours trying to make it look like the actual demo (http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_scandal/) without luck.

1) How do I make the front page posts look like a list with thumbnails instead of full posts (see image below)? I could not for the life of me find this in the settings, which could use some tweaks to properly explain the settings.

2) How do I create the “featured posts” at the top of the page? Again, there is no documentation for this nor does it appear anywhere in the settings.

Hello newsmaguser,

Please keep in mind that all the layout and functionalities which are found in this demo have been made using the theme features. I suggest you install the Scandal demo with the content and then you should check the homepage structure and you will see what kind of blocks has been used in that demo. Notice that each demo has an own style and if you want to replicate one of them from scratch it will be pretty hard to do that. You should follow my advice and try to spend more time to understand how it was built.

Thanks for your understanding!

There is no visible way in the settings of adjusting how the front page looks. You show one layout in the official demo, but when users purchase the theme, it looks nothing like it, nor is there sufficient documentation to show how to make it look like the official demo.

Sorry if I sound harsh, it’s just that this is really frustrating – I’ve spent hours trying to figure this out to no avail.

Hello newsmaguser,

If you want to replicate the Scandal Magazine homepage, you should add the following code at your Visual Composer editor. -> http://screencast.com/t/7zPPuzHelFSi -> http://pastebin.com/XmEJ6p0S The code can be added here -> http://screencast.com/t/WUcFOxnZL

If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what exactly you want to achieve so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the message!
