Hi
I’ve just purchased the theme and I wanted to create a new page as a sample in order to check the functionality. But I was unable to find tagdiv Composer as it was shown in tutorial. It only shows a blank page and some options on it, but the Composer button doesn’t come up. Just for your attention I didn’t activate the visual composer plugin so it couldn’t create a conflict I think. Need for your help.
Thanks beforehand!

Hi, Bogdan.
The issue has been solved. The problem was Gutenberg plugin, I deactivated it. As I’m new in WordPress I didn’t check it before submitting the topic.
Thanks for you quick reply!

It is very difficult for me to write and explain but i am still trying to explain here. I do not know how to explain it, but you try to understand very carefully because this operation is important for me.
This image will show my new newspaper excerpt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a4mTCGhZzjVhMAQzn12rZWGwLiM0V6iN/view?usp=sharing
Now with above theme CONTENT LENGTH is 38 words with justify text. But some paragraph looks small and some big so this looks bad.
===================
This image will show my previews theme excerpt: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18PGhr1kTG5sPssNDF8OrDqV_Ps3ayn_L/view?usp=sharing
Now with above screenshot CONTENT LENGTH is 300 words with justify text and all paragraph looks same size. Even i put 38 words or 300 words, paragraph will look all same size because the box height 70px is already set, so extra words will hide and looks niche.
CODE EXAMPLE
<div class=”entry”>
<div class=”excerpt-box”>
<?php tie_excerpt() ?>
</div> <!– .excerpt-box –>
CSS
.excerpt-box {height: 70px;}
Now it is necessary to do above excerpt settings also in Newspaper theme. You have to help me by doing this in any way because newspaper theme is new for me and need some hints from wonderful people like you. I’ll do the editing myself, you just show me the steps.
Keep one thing in mind, i am using Child-Theme and if something goes wrong then i am responsible for it so i will not blame on you.
I already have full site backup including database, so do not worry.
Do not disappointed me and please help

Thank you.
Hi,
I will try to help you. So this is about the excerpt length. The length can be customized in general in the theme panel, or in the composer which is per element and module.
You can set any limit in words or letters you want, and it will be displayed accordingly

This is not difficult to do, simply set the length you want for the title and/or excerpt and the module will display it like that. The theme panel excerpt settings will be in general.
Thanks
If i use words or characters, the paragraph will not be same and looks like 3 lines, 3 and a half line etc…
I want fixed box size height: 70px . So please read my above comment very carefully.
I don’t want to set words or characters, i just need fixed text height for my .td-excerpt
<div class=”entry”>
<div class=”excerpt-box”>
<?php tie_excerpt() ?>
</div> <!– .excerpt-box –>
CSS
.excerpt-box {height: 70px;}
With above code i have created on my previews Sahifa theme and now i want to create box in Newspaper. But first read my above comment.
Thanks

I don’t want to set words or characters, i just need fixed text height for my text excerpt.
I mean to say that i want to display excerpt in 4 lines only but those 4 line should be fulfilled.
Look this example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18PGhr1kTG5sPssNDF8OrDqV_Ps3ayn_L/view
In above link you will see excerpt in 4 lines and all lines are fulfilled without any space.
I don’t like : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a4mTCGhZzjVhMAQzn12rZWGwLiM0V6iN/view
In above example there are three lines but there lines are not fulfilled, so looks bad.
I think now you understand.
That would be how it works, set a limit of words or letters. As words are different in length the result will be somewhat different. Use it by letters then to cut at the exact limit you set.
If you want to use a height limit with CSS, you could hide the rest of the text after that height with overflow. Like in this example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DRofktxa09Q
– https://www.screencast.com/t/9Myrr0uy
.td-excerpt {
max-height: 60px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Thank you. I impressed…
Now new thing is In my block settings / thumbs on modules: i have enabled just first one: 80 X 60. But we use square type icons only, so how can i change 80 X 60 to 75 X 75
Here is my media settings: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_vVpKb618td6q2aSzI0CUSB_v9-ZDwxr/view?usp=sharing
Thanks
I mean to say that i just want to stop generating new thumb size when i upload an image.
Stop generating for this only: https://drive.google.com/file/
Thanks
Please check this documentation
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
So the thumbnails are predefined, each module will use it’s predefined thumbnail size.
You could experiment with flex blocks, these can be configured to display in many ways. For example all these blocks are created with flex block 1 and it’s settings
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/flex-block/
I understand, but i mean to say that i just enabled first one 80×60 only and all others are disabled. First one 80×60 i enabled for search bar and if i disabled this then search bar thumb i used 75×75 will not show. So i need to enable first one and via functions.php i want to disable not to resize new image upload if first one 80×60 is enabled.

I think now you understand. Thanks
If you disable the live search thumbnail the default placeholder will be shown
– https://www.screencast.com/t/reumwJWzC
That will be the result. If you want to modify that thumbnail you could modify it directly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AbkCLedwRL8L
Or add a new thumbnail size – https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-thumbnail-introduction/
Then modify the live search module to use it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/UW0Y8syq
Making changes to the module will affect all the elements where it is used
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VQNoKN1nmkKy
It works if i rewrite (edit) that one, but doesn’t work if i add another (new) one.
Thanks
Hi,
If you are not able to edit the code as suggested, then you should hire a freelancer to help out with the code as this represents customization and it is not covered by the theme support. If you want to alter the theme thumbnails, you need coding skills and you need to use the theme api system: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/
Thank you!
