Hi,
I actually really like fashion theme, but I need to have featured articles on top like in Travel instead of large image like in Fashion.
I have set up travel theme, questions:
1. How do I take this rainbow cover from featured images?
2. How do I make the rest of the articles below featured to look like in ‘fashion theme’ as I need to have only big previews of the article images? I did this for travel theme, but it also show me below different categories with small square previews and I only need large previews.
3. On large preview of the article subject and text preview are on the white background that slightly cover the image – how to make it appear below the image and not cover it?
also, how do i take comments number off the preview?
Hi
To achieve the current layout on our demos we combined different blocks on the page and set a specific configuration for them.
Please check our documentation for more details about page setup, blocks settings and visual composer usage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ Also you can check our youtube videos here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUdVeZ1pbuc&list=PL6CsDkMaejhpWFcFNOIDfdp5nIT0NbUbj
1. On top of our travel demo we use a big grid 6 with grid style 7: http://screencast.com/t/kK4cxADm4M7
2. I assume that you’re referring at this part from our demo: http://screencast.com/t/1K76Jyg8bb6 There we use latest article part and module 14 for layout: http://screencast.com/t/bzWaMkx7qMpq You can also use a block 13 from Visual Composer to achieve the same layout: http://screencast.com/t/uvzjovotqyS
3. To move the title below the featured image on module 14 add this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/1N8UqmYG0qw
.td_module_14 .meta-info {
position: initial;
}
Thanks!
spasibo andrei!
thanks for reply, will see if i can do that
another problem is that my right rail with my widgets that i had before is not present anymore
how to i make it live?
Спасибо большое за ответы, очень признателен, но у меня все еще есть вопросы:
That helped a little, but now i see another problems appear:
4. My articles are now look like i wanted in fashion theme, but the problem is I have 20 articles on the first page (below the featured) but they repeat each other, so I have 10 latest articles twice on the on the home page.
I would prefer to have 10 latest articles (or 15), but not to repeat each other two times.

5. I have troubles with right rail – I want to have only my widgets there that were setup before (and worked with every theme I had before), but the trouble is – first at very top of right rail i see widgets like: – social counter (and instead of widget I only see code ), – don’t miss (with very old articles for some reason) and this three widgets stick until I scroll through the first 10 articles (please refer to my previous question as this might be the issue I am facing) and then when I see repeated articles I see my widgets that I want to have in my right rail (also sticked).
I would like to have only my widgets on the right rail (that display ads only), and not to have any other widgets there, also I want them not to be sticky.
5.1 Widgets appear more or less correctly on the post page, but still there’s a problem, the widget at the very top of right rail is the widget that shows video, but instead of appearing where it has to be it appears at the bottom left corner.
6. Thanks for telling me how to move the title, but now I have another issue – the title is too low and there’s a gap between pic and title which make’s it look ugly. How can just how many pixels it’s below the picture? Screenshot – http://imgur.com/GEA9vfb
7.It also looks like that it doesnt work for a Chrome – http://imgur.com/JlRMCCz
8. How do I take comments # off completely?
9. Where do I have insert the code so it appears at the very top above menu? (i have to put 728×90 banner) http://imgur.com/PZ9hcYW . Also where do I insert code so the second same size banner appears right below featured articles block? http://imgur.com/31qiylS
10. How do I take off trending now line?
UPD: Numbers 4, 5 and 8 were fixed!
but 5.1 video in the left bottom corner still appears!
video is being called by the code that is inserted into widgets (it was always inserted there and worked with previous theme’s.
11. How do I change main highlight color which is now blue?
thanks!
So the main question for now is #6!
+ customizing the top featured posts
I tried different grids, but those preset one’s doesnt really fit me
I really like the initial 6 blocks, but 6 is actually too much
What should I specify in custom row setting so I have only 3 on top with a main large one on the left and two smaller one’s on top of each other on the right? (see screenshot)
Hi
6,7. Please provide your site url so I can inspect this closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
9. You can use one of theme’s ad-spots to display the ad on top of the page. First insert the html ad’s code in one of custom ad-spots from theme panel > ads then use do_shortcode() function to display a banner ad on top of the page. Just edit the file corresponding with the header style used and add this code like here: http://screencast.com/t/itasx4W4T – http://screencast.com/t/FSgnXBREg3
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
I’ve used custom ad 1 for this example but you can use any custom ad, just adapt the shortcode. For example if you use custom ad 5 the shortcode will be: td_block_ad_box spot_id=”custom_ad_5″
To insert the banner ad below big grid you can use the ad-box block from visual composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/trJzEe9Ufr – http://screencast.com/t/veASTnq2d
Thanks!
Questions #6 & #7
and this one you left unanswered:

What should I specify in custom row setting so I have only 3 on top with a main large one on the left and two smaller one’s on top of each other on the right? (see screenshot)
Hi
6. Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/Zf4I9taD8l
.td_module_14 .td-module-thumb{
margin-bottom: 0;
}
7. I’ve checked your site on Google Chrome and the changes are applied fine on my end. If yous till have this issue clear browser’s cache and test again.
The number of posts displayed in a block can be set form visual composer > block settings: http://screencast.com/t/pUeoGlaanbk
Thanks!
6. Should i replace the old code?
As when I replaced it, everything returned to a previous position.
Did you try it on Safari yourself before giving this code?
7. My Chrome has no cache, I use it only as a test browse and clear everything from previous session, result is the same. Please check again.
6.7 – I have added the code you gave without taking other code, looks like the title still not right under the picture on Safari as well as Chrome. I always clean my cache, so that’s not a cache issue, please download safari and try yourself.
12. I had a picture background on the theme, but it disappeared, even on your latest screenshots background is white, while there should be your dummy picture with blue sea and cocktail. Is it because of added the code?
5.1. – is still left unanswered, please open my site scroll to the bottom and check on the left bottom corner. This video is the top widget on my right rail, why is it appearing on the wrong location?
Changing widgets positions didn’t change anything.
Do you want my logins so you can have a look internally?
This really needs to be solved asap.
