I am unable to change colors on widget titles, columns, and category colors. Theme and VC recently updated.
Please advise.
Hi,
Please make sure you use the latest theme version which is 4.6.1: http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 and make sure you also try this without any other plugins active besides VC and try again.
Please let me know if you still can’t manage to do it and also point out the header that you can’t change.
Thanks
I am not sure it I should start a new thread but I have a similar issue plus one additional issue. On my staging site (http://vbjusa.staging.wpengine.com/) I have a sidebar widget called VBJ Video that has a red heading while the rest are intended to be black. The widget is a Text widget but I was wondering it the heading should follow the rule that the other widgets are following.
The second issue is that the wsiwyg editor will not format Ordered and Unordered lists properly. While I can cope with this issue no problem, we will have a couple users who won’t be familiar with simple html – and they shouldn’t need to be.
What I have done up to now is turn off every plugin except for VC and test with no change. I updated to the new theme version this morning.
Thanks!
Kris
Hi,
I have checked your site and found that the Text widget title take the theme color, but the others blocks from sidebar are not:
Text Widget: http://screencast.com/t/wIlXDpYb
Block from sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/t5FwWF9w2q
Unfortunately the Text widget can’t be customize from settings like the block, but you can use customize it with css code in Theme Panel > Custom css : http://screencast.com/t/xLM4mDUxQiMp
.widget.widget_text .block-title span{
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
.widget.widget_text .block-title{
border-color: #000000 !important;
}
Result: http://screencast.com/t/fMx6OmeqSKU
About list format could you provide more details about the issue? Maybe a screenshot.
Hope this helps!
Alin, thanks for the reply. I did figure out that the widget heading was related to the theme color but thank you for the CSS for the widget text.
About the list format. Here is a screenshot from the Visual side of the editor: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/vbjusa/temp/listerror.png
Here is a screenshot from the text side of the editor: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/vbjusa/temp/listerror2.png
Unrelated to the list I am seeing that after the update the image in the top block no longer fills the space: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/vbjusa/temp/picnotfillingspace.png
Thanks for you help!
Hi,
I have also tested this and haven’t found any issues when using the latest theme version. Not sure if this related to the theme as we haven’t made any modification to editor lists. This might be a WordPress error also so please try testing this when switching to a default WordPress theme and check if this behavior is still present.
Regarding to the issue you have with the image in the slider I suggest you make sure first that the image is actually larger than 700x452px width and if so use this guide an regenerate thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi Lucian. I did revert to the native theme and the issue was still there so other than it being a WordPress bug I don’t know what else to do.
Regarding the image in the slider it is interesting because the image filled the space prior to the theme update at 700 pixels wide. Is there a specific size the image needs to be?
Thanks.
Edit: I followed your instruction on the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and it didn’t make a difference.
Hi,
You could try to back-up your current WordPress/theme installation and update WordPress if you don’t use the latest version (4.1). Updating it could solve your issue. In all my tests I haven’t encountered an issue similar to yours so it should work for you also.
The image need to be at least 745x483 which represents the big image thumb size and the image needs to be of that width to fill the whole container. Regenerating thumbnails should solve it unless the image you use it’s smaller that the dimensions needed because WordPress doesn’t enlarge images.
So please check if the image you use is large enough and if so and still it doesn’t work edit the post remove the featured image then try to upload and set another one to test if this happens to all images then revert back to the one you need, you can remove it and upload it again.
If it doesn’t bother you that the image is stretched you could also do this via css and use this custom css in theme’s custom css field in theme panel to solve this: http://screencast.com/t/VvUGsST3e
.td_block_big_grid .td-big-grid-post-0 .entry-thumb {
width: 100%;
}
Thanks
Lucian,
Thanks for the large thumbnail width. I’ll make that adjustment. I am on the most current version of WordPress. Just wanted to share something that I learned from some testing on the editor. If I save a draft and then continue editing I am then able to use the ordered and unordered lists with no issues. Odd isn’t it?
Hi,
Your issue appears only when i delete the space between the elements – http://screencast.com/t/5mTlbEGADAmy – http://screencast.com/t/d6y2NE9Q
If i doit like this – http://screencast.com/t/vBEyfc7TR it works fine – http://screencast.com/t/L3s0ZtUeBoG
Thank you, Emil G.
After updating to Newspaper 6 how do you make the following code work for the sidebar?
.widget.widget_text .block-title span{
background-color: #000000 !important;
}
.widget.widget_text .block-title{
border-color: #000000 !important;
}
website: http://www.vbjusa.com/
I do have it applied but there are two widget headings on the sidebar that the css did not change. See example please.

Edit: Also, these widgets don’t that their own heading color picker.
Hi,
Only tagdiv blocks have an option to set header color, unfortunately wordpress default widgets don’t have a similar option, but we have an option in Theme Panel > Theme Colors to set a general color for all blocks/widgetstitles – http://screencast.com/t/PUo9oX2EBA5 – http://screencast.com/t/4JSLNzJXt
Thanks!
