Hi

If a post belongs to a category which it’s excluded from being displayed in block, it will not be displayed even if belongs to others categories which are set to be displayed in that specific block. For example if you want to display latest posts from category A filtered by latest posts and you have post C included in categories A and B, setting in block filter as not to be displayed will automatically remove post C from that block.
Please make sure that the post doesn’t belong to an excluded category and test again.

If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!

Hi

Please backup the whole current theme installation as well as the database and wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can get back at the old install.
Make sure you do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. If you’re using child theme deactivate it during the update process, switch to default wp theme.
If you use child theme for files customizations it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi

The latest version of the theme is tested and works fine with Social counter plugin. I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using Visual Composer V4.4.4 with V2.3 of the theme. We always recommend to update and the plugins included in theme’s path when the theme it’s updated to a newer version.
Try deactivate all plugins, update the ones from Newsmag-tf\plugins folder, clear all caches and test again. The plugins always should be installed from the same path with the theme.
We also have some negative reports regarding cloudflare’s rocket loader usage, it seams to affect the theme’s js so if you still have issues with the images try to deactivate it and test again.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Hi

Theme’s blocks weren’t designed to display the price tag and buy buttons. You will need lots of customizations in theme files to achieve that functionality. Instead you can use Products block from Visual Composer which have a similar layout with block 15 from the theme, also have the price tag and buy buttons integrated: http://screencast.com/t/j7J4gsuUWvlhttp://screencast.com/t/gLGTgKgVpg8j
If you need a different functionalities which involve other customizations and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you as we can’t offer customization services at the moment.

Thanks!

For the moment the theme doesn’t have an filter to display posts by oldest in blocks nut we intent to add this feature in next theme updates. Meanwhile you can add this line ‘Oldest' => 'oldest_posts', in td_config.php: http://screencast.com/t/mWt6d2nynI and this code in td_data_source.php file: http://screencast.com/t/4x14gDsyywvhttp://screencast.com/t/v39rRKyufD

case 'oldest_posts':
$wp_query_args['order'] = 'ASC';
break;

Thanks!

Hi

We didn’t tested the Pods.io plugin plugin with the theme and I am not aware of its functionality, therefore I can’t make any recommendations in this regard. You can run a few tests to check its behavior with the theme and if it works properly you can use it.

Thanks!

Hi

The theme use a specific thumb size for each post template that’s why the featured image is cropped. I am not sure what post template you’re using, but if you want to have a bigger image try a post template which have a full width thumb for featured image, for example: post templates 4, 5, 6. If you want a different image size than existing ones you will need to register a new thumb size in td_config.php file: http://screencast.com/t/N8O8B4Undqr You can use theme API to do that: https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-thumbnail-introduction/ Also you will need some css customizations will be necessary such that the new thumb to be displayed well on post.

Hope this help.
