Hey Alin,

Thanks for the response! Ironically, shortly after I submitted this post I figured it out and did exactly as you suggested. Did some more tweaking and got it to work even better than I expected it to. Love the look.

Thanks!

Haven’t had the time yet to work on the front page layout, but this is what I’ve done over the last 36 hours.

This has been an ongoing issue with this theme and Newsmag. There has yet to be a solution that I could find. Hopefully it’ll be rectified one day soon as I too would like to use the left sidebar for certain pages but can’t because of mobile.

@Chris S,

I appreciate the comment. Despite being well versed in all things WordPress (after using it for roughly five years now) and understanding how to work the system, the Revolution Slider issue came about because I made the mistake of not seeing that particular plugin on the list of installed plugins as it was similar in name to another plugin I was using. However, the version of Revolution Slider that has been reported to have had issues and caused something like this for many sites was never active on my site. In fact, I’ve only ever had the latest versions of it on my site, and that was only since late October, when I was working with two other themes from another widely used theme provider before finally settling on Tagdiv via Newmag late last month.

Note: I’ve never had the plugin installed outside of themes since I don’t own an independent license and don’t plan on buying one at this point even if the plugin is the best selling in the history of the world on Themeforest.

There are many others who’ve reported that they have in fact upgraded or only used the latest version of Revolution Slider and they also had this happen to them. Clearly the developer still has some issues to work out even though they deny this being a new issue: https://www.facebook.com/themepunchofficial/photos/a.241115412711464.1073741828.241098529379819/386921181464219/

Not sure how an issue they claim to have fixed in February in the link provided turned into a massive issue with developers, users, etc in September to the point that the plugin couldn’t be sold until the plugin maker provided another new updated version that fixed issues.

Whoops, there I am on my own soapbox as well, lol. 🙂

@Ecofame @Kvr28

The issue has been rectified. It was due to that damn Revolution Slider plugin that for the life of me I don’t recall ever using. I’d advise the makers of Newsmag to stop even providing the plugin as an optional add on. It’s not even necessary for the theme to function.

This was the worst possible time for something like this to happen, but technically the best in an ironic kind of way; this time of year finds our sites with less than normal traffic.

@ecofame can you send a screenshot of what you’re talking about?

Finished working on the design over the weekend. Ended up starting from scratch with 1.3.1 just to make sure everything was integrated correctly: http://www.soapoperanetwork.com

Lucian,

Ironically enough, I found that because I had the speed booster plugin activated on my live site that’s why it was slightly slower than my other websites (which I’ve been testing the theme on initially). After turning it off I’m very pleased with the speed. That’s not to say that the plugin doesn’t do its job, but it wasn’t necessarily good for my server setup.

I’d also like an explanation. I use Cloudflare on my main website, but considering dropping it as sites I run with this theme on the same server (using non recommended js and css minify settings) load to perfection, while my main site loads the content first and then loads themepanel changes (fonts, background colors, etc) a few seconds later. It’s quite annoying.

Looking forward to the fix as I’m currently forced in using the right sidebar as default when I want my pages to have the content on the right and sidebar on the left while this issue remains.

Thanks!

EDIT: My comment was based on the Newsmag theme with same issue. Apologies.

Hey Lucian,

Thank you for responding. I know how to do all the coding (PHP/CSS, etc) by myself so I don’t need to hire anyone, I just need to know what CSS coding to copy as my template to best code the header with block 16. I already placed the block in the correct header file, but the result is the content appears in a singular column instead of as a row.

I plan to significantly overhaul my website with the new update of Newsmag, which fixes a few issues I had been having with the theme, so I’ll share my site when that’s done (presumably by next Wednesday). The changes I’ll be making will be somewhat custom so my site may not end up looking 100% like the default layouts that the theme comes with, even with the numerous ways to use modules/blocks, just to be clear.

Awesome! Thank you!

I love the layout with the Social Share on the top and bottom active, but have disabled it for the time being as a result.

Thanks again.

The example is noted above in the image (ie. Share a link with your followers), but here it is again (it is a screenshot of what a tweet popup button looks like when you click on the Twitter button):

When clicking on the Twitter button that the theme uses when you activate sharing in post settings (either Top Article Sharing or Bottom Article Sharing), the Twitter button puts special characters in the tweet text when you use ‘ or & in the title of your post.

I’ve always used 640px width images so this theme worked great for me, but like Christopher said above, the bigger might be better since the theme will make a 640px width version of your image anyway. Just don’t crazy with the widths.

I also had a problem with this, but I worked around it by creating different “featured image” types in functions.php using the Multiple Post Thumbnails plugin. I inserted a Big Image function in place of where “featured image” is coded in the appropriate singe_template files.

example: <?php if (class_exists('MultiPostThumbnails')) : MultiPostThumbnails::the_post_thumbnail(get_post_type(), 'big-feature'); endif; ?>

For some reason the information of what ‘ ‘ and & becomes got hidden…Kim Matula’s Last Airdate on ‘B&B,’

You might need to reduce the width of your logo in your style.css file. I reduced mine to at least 256px (which worked for me) from the settings default of 272px. That’s the only thing I found that would solve the problem when the header ad appears on the right of the logo. The developers might have another solution, however.

I’m not the developer and not associated (other than being a customer), but I removed those lines from the child themes function.php file and it worked. The reason you had issues is because the file td_wordpres_booster has been removed as noted in the changelog: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newsmag-1-1-released-changelog/
