Hi, I just bought the theme. I’m happy with it, but I tought it was a little bit more flexible.
Right now I have some issues with the theme that I don’t know how to solve:
1. On posts header, the one I like the most is the number seven. The problem is the height is too high, the title is not centered and I would prefer it to be in the middle and not in the inferior part of the image.
2. The content of the posts is too wide witouth sidebar. I’m not going to use sidebar, so I would like the content to be more narrow, with a higher margin.
3. I would like to add a suscription form at the end of all the posts. The position should be just at the end, before the share buttons. Is there any way to do it automatically witout adding it manually in each post? Something like a widget a the end of the posts. I’m missing after posts widgets on this theme.
4. I would like to add something like a full width banner on the top of each post with a suscription form before the post image/title. Is there any way to do that?
5. I don’t see visual composer on posts, only on pages.
6. Images are not adapted to blocks or thumbnails and there is an ugly gray background. Do I always have to use specific featured image sizes depending on where they are going to be shown?
You can check it here on the top of the page: https://desdelaraiz.com/webnova/
7. Using the ajax filter, when I use offset then the filters don’t work well. With many categorys they are not showing any article. I would like to use offset to avoid repeating posts on the same page, but some posts, even they were not shown before, they are not showing when you switch to a specific category. I don’t understand why.
That’s all for today. Maybe I’m asking to much to this theme, just let me know.
Thank you so much.
Hello,
1) I’m not sure how your title is not centered. Here is how it displays on our end: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-lenovo-details-new-computers-that-could-be-heading-our-way-in-2015/
If you want to decrease the size of the container it can only be done with css. Here is an example:
.td-post-template-7 .td-post-header{
height: 415px!important;
}
Add the code in the theme panel-> custom css box.
2) The content width cannot be changed as all the theme elements depend on this fixed width. There is no solution I can provide in this regard
3) The only way of adding anything automatically for all posts at once is by altering the theme files and adding the widget shortcode with a ‘do_shortcode’ function on each post style you use: https://www.screencast.com/t/iyCusKK9yi
as an example: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/change-order-ads-on-post-template/
4) The same method as 3. There is no other way of adding content for all posts at once.
5) https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
6) Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
7) Please provide a swcreenshot of how you set the ajax filter in the back-end and make sure the spoecific category has posts to show.
Thank you!
1. About the title position, I fixed it with custom css. Now the title is centered, but it seems the theme has a small bug. If you check this url, you will see the title is centered. If you minimize the screen and you go from the biggest to the smallest, you will see there is a point that the title breaks and stops beeing centered. Aswell, in the responsive the title font size doesn’t respect the font size that I setted on the theme options.
2. Solved. You said there was no solution for that, but with the custom css I found the solution. Now the content is not that wide witouth sidebar. I know if I never wants to use sidebar in a page everything will break, but I’m not going to use sidebar anywhere so I hope I will not have problems. You can check the content of this page.
3 and 4. Nothing to say.
5. Solved.
6. Solved.
7. Still no solution, here you can see two screenshots:
CONCLUSION: Everything is fine except point 1 and 7.
Just one more thing:
8. How can I disable pinterest sharing on posts?
I’ve worked with many themes, and I like this one, so I will give my best to adapt it to my needings, but I will need your help to solve these small issues.
Thank you so much.
Hello,
1) It is not a bug. You simply did not modify the css properly on a responsive layout.
please also add this code:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-post-template-7 .td-post-header-holder {
width:100%!important;
}}
2) You can change the site width with css but please keep in mind that this is not recommended as the theme elements will not position properly anymore and there could be css issues. If you did change this, please note this change is not recommend by us and if you have future css styling issues, you should definately start by removing the width alteration as our elements were created based on the fixed width of the containers. I did not say it is not possible. I said there is no solution I can provide because simply changing the width will not be enough for this modification to function properly.
7) We implemented a fix for this in the next theme version we plan to release in the near future. I have passed this information on to my colleagues and we will fix this in the next update.
8) In order to remove pinterest from the post sharing options you can either hide it with css or remove it from the theme code.
css version:
.td-social-pinterest{
display:none!important;
}
The code version:
Please remove this line of code for top sharing:

and this line for the bottom sharing:

Thank you!
Everything is fine Bogdan. Good help from you.
About the point 2, I think there should be an option of content width witout sidebar in the future updates. Default is too wide. You just have to check the most part of blogs witouth sidebar and you will see the content is not that wide, and that’s because it is easier to read and the screen is more clean.
About the point 7, I hope you can solve it as soon as posible because it is probably a big problem for most of the users.
Thx you for helping.
