HI

Yes, you ca try a different approach by changing background transparency, try this code and check how it goes:

.td-main-content-wrap {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
}

Thanks!

Hi

Theme’s change log can be seen on our themeforest page: http://screencast.com/t/xwyYyQzE
If you still can’t mange to update the theme using wp dashboard try to login on the server via ftp, navigate to your-wp-install/wp-content/themes and delete Newspaper folder. After this step is completed you can try to upload Newspaer.zip file in your wordpress or directly upload Newspaper folder via ftp. Please check our documentation for more detail about the update process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Before making any changes in your site make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install and the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

Thanks!

HI

We didn’t tested WP Pro Ad System plugin and we’re not aware of its functionality in order to provide an accurate answer. However if the shortcode display ads when is sued in a text block it should also display ads when is added in theme’s ad spots. You can’t use php code in theme panel, just the shortcode can be pasted there.
You can try to echo out the shortcode directly in header file corresponding with header style used: http://screencast.com/t/ImUvTvAaZeFg and check how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi

I’ve checked your site and you don’t have any logo in footer, also feature images are displayed fine now: http://screencast.com/t/CgyAuVZa6sxe However I’ve found a js error in browser’s console which seem to be related with theme’s js: http://screencast.com/t/AYROgA1xDsx If you still have the issue with featured images try to deactivate all plugins, clear the caches then test the site again.

Thanks!

HI

Please address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi

The server configuration seems to be fine.
We made some tests in the past with 70.000 posts in db and the theme worked almost fine, the delays in admin were no bigger then 3-4 seconds, but I have to mention that we didn’t had the amount of traffic as your site does.

Debugging this issue on such a big site is not an easy task and also require a lot of time and some specific skills. The best way would be to make clone of the site on a development domain if possible and try to debug there this issue. When the site grows like this it’s also recommended to contact a person who can handle issues related with server configuration, memory spikes or conflicts between themes and plugins.
If you can setup a clone on your site let us know and also give as admin to it so we can have a closer look and make some additional tests. We would prefer a test site to void any possible issues which may occur while we make the tests.

WordPress makes a lot of requests to database in admin panel and the response time is very much influenced by how well is database optimized. Here I’ve found some informations which may help for a good optimization: https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/speed-up-wordpress-caching-and-database-optimization–cms-22055 – https://www.keycdn.com/blog/speed-up-wordpress/
You can also contact your host provider and ask him if he have some specific suggestion to optimize the database and also for php.
It may also be helpful a tool for monitoring the queries, an example would be https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/p3-profiler/screenshots/ From the reviews I’ve noticed that these plugins are very useful in this regard.
Another important aspects is the authors/editors numbers. Do you have many of them, also many of them are simultaneously logged in on the site and perform actions? If many users are logged in the queries made by wp and are multiplied and server need to handle a bigger load.

Thanks!

Hi

Hi

Locate Newspaper-tf folder on your computer and unzip js_composer.zip file: http://screencast.com/t/1tHBWGzmWU
Next try to login on the server via ftp, navigate to your-wp-install/wp-content/plugins and delete js_composer folder if there exist one then upload js_composer folder. After this process is completed go to dashboard and activate the plugin, it should work fine now.
Before making any changes in your site make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install and the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups

To access the server via ftp you fill need a ftp-client interface like filezilla for example: https://filezilla-project.org/ Also follow the host’s documentation for more details about how can you access the ftp and c-panel if you have it available.

Hi

To place the ad in sidebar you can use the sidebar ad-spot from theme panel, just paste the html code there: http://screencast.com/t/yLQwistTs8 then add the ad-spot in sidebar under Appearance > Widgets: http://screencast.com/t/0rlT1Vq8WZd

This is an example of a banner ad code:

<div class="td-all-devices"><a href="link-to-the-page"><img src="image-url"/></a></div>

Hope this helps!
Thanks!

Hi

I’ve checked a post from your site with google structured data tool and there are no errors in html structure: http://screencast.com/t/4MpfbygRvCj8
I assume that the errors from webmaster console are generated becasue from some reasons google can’t crawl your site or some post from the site. Try to fetch the site again and check the results from google’s report: http://screencast.com/t/5h7m8te8a

Thanks!

Hi

Do you want to remove the links from category page? If so try this css: http://screencast.com/t/HltHBMfamEk

.category .td_module_wrap{
pointer-events:none!important;
}

Thanks!

Hi

The images used as featured images must be at least by thumb size where that featured image will be displayed. For example here http://screencast.com/t/N13WWjEF you’re using an image by 120x170px, that is the original size. The theme won’t enlarge images, it only crops them. Try to set a bigger image as featured image for that post, clear all caches then test the site again.

Hope this helps.
Thanks!

HI

You can use below code to add a custom sidebar for all posts displayed by single.php: http://screencast.com/t/o08c9hJm

Hi

The theme is testes and sort order filters work as expected, I am not sure why they don’t work on your side but there could be a conflict so try to deactivate all plugin, leave just Visual Composer active, then test the site again.
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!

Hi

On classic blog demo we use header style 11 which don’t have a limit for logo. Try to create a custom image by a size which you ting will fits best on your site then upload it in wordpress and use it as logo, the theme won’t affect it’s size in any way.
Are you referring at homepage post block from Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/uzTrha8kyvcc If so then you can change its fonts from theme panel > theme fonts: http://screencast.com/t/ZG0Riynnc

Hope this helps.
Thanks!
