Hi

We get often this question regarding the differences between our themes. I can tell you that the both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another. Newspaper’s grid width is 1068px while Newsmag’s width is 1021px and the newsmag’s theme grid has been designed to support the borders you notice between sections of a page: http://screencast.com/t/pNkgzN1Kn8Y5

Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, for example you could check the Features menu items from each theme live demo and see blocks, modules, post templates… are present in each theme and the design differences – http://screencast.com/t/p87JJpieJd

Speaking from a development point of view Newspaper theme is more complex then Newsmag. Among the differences I can enumerate these ones:
– Newspaper have more blocks, grids and another widgets which arenot included in Newsmag yet.
– Newspaper have more smart-lists available. There are 8 types of smart-lists while Newsmag have 4.
– more posts templates are available for Newspaper, 14 and for Newsmag are only 9 at the moment.
– ad system offers more options fro Newspaper then for Newsmag

We are constantly working on multiple updates for both themes. Adding further features is always a goal of ours. At the moment we work on a major update for Newsmag theme, new features will be added which will make the theme more complex and also its flexibility will be improved.

I hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi

I’ve checked your site and found a js error in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/bZz6ZZlk I am not sure why this error appear as is not related with our theme but could affect its lazy load animation. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again.

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi
Glad you have managed to solve this.
Thanks for letting us know and for your message.

Hi

Unfortunately this error could come from a big number of problems. I believe it happens due to a server configuration which is not responding, it could be due to a delay or it could also be a temporary issue so you can try this a few times and if you still get this error please contact your host provider and let him know about this, ask them to unblock our demo in order to retrieve the theme data. It could also happen due to your wp install or other plugins might also cause this. Also make sure that your permission for the upload folder are set correct. You can check this by trying to upload an image in media library. If the process succeeds then the permission are ok. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) or if you do not have access to the cpanel, please contact your hosting provider.
Also make sure you meet the requirements for newsmag: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and the parameters from system status have the values indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.

Thanks!

We still looking for a way to extend unique article feature at ajax pagination and maybe in future we will find a solution.

Thanks!

Hi @jk

This may happen due to a rule from .htaccess file which force the url to have www in it. Check if among the rules from .htaccess you have one which may cause that. Also you can find som useful information here: https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204643270/using-htaccess-rewrite-rules#6

I hope this helps.
Thanks!

Hi

Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi

Thanks @nico for your answer.

@QZER please check our documentation for more detail about seating up a page and block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/

If you still need assistance on this please provide your site url so I can have a closer look and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!

Hi

You followed the correct procedure but you don’t need to activate the Visual Composer. You can ignore the activation message as Visual Composer plugin comes bundled with the theme and you don’t need a license key for it.

Thanks!

Hi

Theme’s blocks weren’t designed to be displayed on post content so there could appear some layout issues using them there. In most cases a block will be displayed fine within post content but in some cases could appear some layout issues.
To display a block in post content follow this steps:
– create a blank page, add the desired block on it and set it as you want to be displayed: http://screencast.com/t/fj2q2GkBE77q
– copy the shortcode and paste it in post content where you want to display that block: http://screencast.com/t/4fbP8dXOg – http://screencast.com/t/p9dUBEY4 – http://screencast.com/t/46yRqnUaMjk

To replace related article with a custom block you have to edit the file corresponding with post template used and use do_shortcode like here: http://screencast.com/t/EjxTtrx2wisC

<?php echo do_shortcode('your shortcode goes here'); ?>

With regard at support please refer at this link for more details in this regard: http://themeforest.net/page/item_support_policy We can only support offer for current features of the theme, not to extent theirs functionality. Our theme is very flexible and can be customized in many different ways. However that require s bit of coding and some tests to achieve the desired result.

Thanks!

Hi

Do you want to remove the header form all pages? Our theme wasn’t designed to hide header part of the page. However this can be achieved using this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/8sopnVeJZRGE

.td-header-wrap{
display: none;
}

Thanks!

Hi

We work at next theme update which will be a major one for Newsmag too. I can say for sure how much time will pass until will be ready but we do our best to release it in shortest time possible.

Thanks!

Hi

V 2.3.6 is tested and mobile menu and search button works fine. You said that is a new install but after I looked on your test website where you have V 2.3.6 instilled I’ve seen a custom page structure which is not generated by the theme. This container breaks theme’s layout: http://screencast.com/t/svERL3plO so you have to adjust it’s style or remove it from page source.
Try to install the theme again and make sure you do a clean update. By this I mean that you have to delete previous install and upload new themes files via WordPress or vis ftp. Also deactivate all others plugins except Visual Composer and test the theme again, without making any changes in its code, or whiteout any additional plugins.

Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for letting us know about this. We will make some investigations to check how background image affect render blocking and is somehow speed booster is affected by it.

Thanks!

Hi @all
