several questions

1. I purchased the NewsPaper 8 twice. The second installation demanded a registration with a purchase code. When I do this, the next page demands me to register, and when I enter my data, the system tells me “user name already in use”. I do not want to register twice, how can I add the second installation to my account?

2. I am working the travel theme. Where can I change the large picture which goes from left to right at the top of the screen.

3. I have to create pages showing a video from one side to the other. How can I use the visual composer on posts. I need to be able to videos, pictures, google maps. Or does this only work on pages.

4. When I add the video widget, the youtube video picture shows, but the video does not run. What’s the trick here to make it run?

5. I also have to add a sort of text box allowing to set a different background color and which allows me to write single line text into two columns. When I use the option “Text with title” and set the background to grey, it still shows a white background on the front end. Also, the text is spaced out double line. Is there an additional plugin which would allow me to enter text with different line spacing and different font, similar like in Word?

Hello,

1) If you already have a forum account, for the second registration please use the manual activation method: https://www.screencast.com/t/Mff5x0WM

2)The large picture on the travel demo needs to be added on the row in the tagdiv composer like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/cpRFY60bH

3) We recommend using the tagdiv composer, not visual composer as we will no longer develop new options for visual composer but rather for our own page builder. Both page builders only work on pages in our theme.

4) On pages, the modules and blocks in our theme will only show a thumbnail of the video .you will not be able to play the video except by accessing the post and playing it from there.

5) Sorry but there is no plugin that can tie into our page builder. You will have to use the tiny mce editor provided as on the web there is no editor like word. On the web fonts and sizes are changed through css and coding. The theme panel offers font settings but they will affect more elements, not just the box you want to affect.

Thanks.

hello,

thanks for your help, but i am running into new problems:

re 2: i changed the background image, but even though the uploaded image is 1980 x1080 and real sharp, it’s totally defocused on the front page.

re 5: please take a look at the look of the text under the google map of this page: http://wordpress.p414691.webspaceconfig.de/koelner-dom/
and at the present original at http://www.100stopps.de/koelner_dom.html where the text is on top of the map. How can i get the same type of look in newspaper?

Hello,

re2: Please make sure you upload the full image and not a thumbnail of it in the media library. Also please check the aspect ratio of the image. it needs to be ultra wide for it to display properly in the row. Try a size of 1920 x 815 for instance

re5: Well since it’s a page created in the page builder, you can put the text block on top of the map by simple drag and drop. Either drag the text block above the map or drag the map below the text…the page builder lets you do that.

Thank you!

thanks for your reply, but re5 i am not concerned with the position of the text, but with the looks. The original site puts the info into a two column textbox with gray background and the text is a single space line. In your system i am not able to set the background color and not able to switch from double space lines to single space line. How i can get a similar look as on the original?

Hi,

You can use standard html to make the content on 2 columns if you need this modification. You can use a table or div’s if you have basic html skills. Your example link uses 2 div’s
for the content columns.
The background color can be added using a row background color: https://www.screencast.com/t/2qgMn2zcLF

Thank you!
