I seem to be facing 3 problems with newspaper theme.
1. The sidebar doesn’t appear on implementation of single post cloud library templates despite it being there in the template itself.
2. The LCP in speed test for mobile site is above 3 despite image compression and google will sooner or later have an issue with it.
3. Third is a request for a custom code to darken the subtitle text on mobile theme. I see an option to increase its weight in desktop version settings but not in mobile theme. So will appreciate a css code for that.
In order to make the site faster, I was trying to shift my post template to a cloud one so i could disable the standard pack as advised by tagdiv documentation but unfortunately i can’t seem to find a way to reduce the post from full width to one with a sidebar. For e.g. the default pro post for default newspaper theme has most popular posts on the sidebar with an ad box above. But when I implement it as a default post it goes full width minus the sidebar and i end up seeing the side bar content on top of my post while scrolling up and down on an article
I am still waiting for a response here. More problems to add – why do the plugins show outdated on the plugin screen even when i have uploaded and activated the latest version? Do I really the wpbakery plugin for the team to function? I like the idea of Newspaper theme but these issues are a bit of letdown. And response from support team takes forever. I don’t see a reason why I should think of extending support.
Hello !
1. If you are using Cloud Library templates then the sidebar has to be created using tagDiv Composer as you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa7GenCHcBU&t=2s Cloud library templates are not following the Theme Panel settings.
2. Please provide a link to your website in order to inspect and see what can be done.
3. Let us know which font / piece of text you want to edit and we will take a look to provide a css code.
WP Bakery is only optional and if you are using cloud library template my recommendation is to not use it.
Please note that at the moment the Support team is not 24/7 available. We answer the topics from Latest to Newest Monday – Friday from 08:00AM to 05:00PM GMT+2 Multiple replies in your topic will make it harder for us to reach it.
Thank you !
1. The CSS code I need is for subtitle (the brief description of a post) placeholder below the post title in mobile theme. The default font and size is okay, just want the grey to be a bit darker. You can please write the code and I can always change the font and colour part of it.
2. Is it possible to align image captions in centre of an image by default or maybe you can write a CSS code for it too please.
Thanks in advance

Hello !
1. Please let me know if this is what you were looking for: https://www.screencast.com/t/HIF2qam2Y8
This is the css code: .tdi_13_b28 .td_module_flex_1 .td-excerpt {
COLOR:RED;
}
The code must be inserted here: https://www.screencast.com/t/JJ12roXfsX8
2. In order to center the caption. For mobile you need this css code: .wp-caption-text {
text-align: center;
}
For the desktop you will need to do this by using the tagDiv Composer as you can see here: https://i.imgur.com/alcirXv.png
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
Thanks, the caption one is alright.
No I am not looking for the excerpt code. I was looking for the subtitle text that appears below the H1 title tag in a single post. It only appears when a user puts text in the subtitle portion in wordpress editor. This appears in between the title and author name inside a single post.
Hello !
I’m sorry for misunderstanding !
Please try this css code: .td-post-sub-title {
color: #000;
}
Let me know if this was usefull !
Thank you !
Thanks a lot, it worked. Really appreciate the help from the NewsPaper Team. I am loving the theme so far. There is one problem left though, for me completely shift to cloud library. I go about changing the header font and colour on a text logo and it doesn’t save any changes on a header from cloud library. Any tips there would be helpful. Thanks
Hello !
Can you let us know the steps and settings you take to edit the header? Please take a look at our guide here maybe this will shed some light: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXQQygkCCJo
As you can see here each element has to be now edited using tagDiv Composer and each one has features that you can edit: https://www.screencast.com/t/m7CNdAe9
I hope this was helfpul !
Thank you !
I am trying to do everything I can from the documentation but it doesn’t seem to work the way it should for headers. Could be from a plugin conflict but all I have are essential plugins and I can’t disable any of them permanently. The sidebar issue in cloud library post templates got resolved by disabling WP bakery which is funny actually as it came bundled with the theme itself. I would have to function with the mixed setup of standard pack and cloud templates. Does that impact site speed in a major way? Secondly will appreciate if you can help me with the following:-
1. How do I change the colour on scroll to top button? For e.g. by default its blue.
2. I see that the colour of an element’s text, background etc. can be changed in the style section of an element. What do the colour boxes accept? A colour code with a hash tag? Because I do that and it doesn’t seem to save, maybe because of a plugin conflict again. Or probably the host, as they manage the cache on server side.
Thanks for all the help in advance, appreciate it very much.
Hello !
1. That can only be done with css, please use this css code: .td-scroll-up-visible {
background-color:red;
}
2. Yes, you can either insert a hex code as you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/ABrh4kBtyE or make the color combo manually.
I would like to take a look a bit to see what is possible to create a conflict in order to fix all the issues. Please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide the following:
– admin url and credentials
– A link to this topic in order to identify you
Thank you !
Thanks once again. I found the conflicting plugin. The composer is working fine now. Will appreciate a CSS code for the condition below:-
1. I noticed that the single post image captions are in Italics and video captions are in normal style in both desktop and mobile version of Newspaper theme. Is there a CSS code possible on single posts which can give me uniformity and control on all captions (both image and video inserts) in terms of font size, colour, style and alignment?
Thanks in advance. I really appreciate the help from Newspaper team and have started to love the theme as well.
