Hello,
Please make sure you have everything selected in screen options: http://screencast.com/t/Zp1RqJlq9
If the settings still do not show up if everything is checked, then please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files (if you use it). There could be a plugin conflict that interferes with the settings.
Let us know.
thank you!

It depends on how your posts were set-up. If they have the sidebar to default, then the option in the category setting will do it for all of them. If they had individual sidebars set, then that means a lot of work to be done.
Best of luck!

Hello,
You can remove the gradient using this css:

.td-grid-style-1.td-hover-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
opacity:0!important
}

But it will impact your images that are brighter (white images/background) as the text is white and it will be difficult to see without the gradient.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi,

It can be replicated with a bit of html and css
You need to add your images inside a div tag and assign a class to it like so:
http://screencast.com/t/1rPMr92HTEb and then use this css in the theme panel->custom css box:
.leftimg {
background: #EAEAEA;
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
color: #7777777;
float: left;
margin: 0 15px 10px 0;
padding: 5px;
max-width: 280px;

Thanks.

Hello Alex.
The category filter you are modifying is not the ‘menu’ but the posts that appear on the block itself. The menu is actually the ajax filter (the other tab) http://screencast.com/t/eAnaTLCDxp9 You can select all the categories to display here (or tabs or authors) or you can set them by hand using the categorty ID (or tag id or author id)
http://screencast.com/t/RCbXqE4WZkH You can get the ID like so: http://screencast.com/t/px8coJut
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi,
At the moment you have a js error due to plugin conflicts so none of your images show up. You need to identify the plugin that causes it and remove/replace it so your images will show up again. Then you need to upload bigger images if you want them to display properly inside the big grid. Here is a list of thumbnail sizes our theme uses: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
In your case this image: http://screencast.com/t/wZHFkad7vXUf is 672×336 and the container for the biog grid 1 is 534 X 462 (although yours is modified) You need to have at least the container size width and height.
Thank you

Hello,
This issue is most of the time caused by plugin conflicts. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check your featured images again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.

Hello Timo,
Please try this custom css to center the images:

.td-post-template-default .td-post-featured-image img,
.td-post-template-1 .td-post-featured-image img,
.td-post-template-2 .td-post-featured-image img
{
margin-left: auto!important;
margin-right: auto!important;
}


This will work for the default, 1 and 2 templates.

Thanks.

Hello,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn. There should be sidebars in the widgets area (ones you create or the default footer sections).
Please try to create a few sidebars and check again:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.

Hi,

You do not need to do anything about it because the error you see in webmasters will not affect your website at all. It simply does not recognize a part of our code that we use to get the header. Either you replace the function instead of the get_header(); or not, the result will just be seen in the webmasters tools. It’s not something that affects your site in any way. The error can simply be ignored.
If you want however to see it gone from webmasters then you need to replace the get_header() from every file it is specified: http://screencast.com/t/XQUnvQvviIU (31 places to be exact)
Please follow this topic to see how it can be done:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fatal-error-in-wp-contentthemesnewspaper/

Thank you!

Hello:
The button colors are a bit tricky as they are pulled from visual composer. These are the exact colors supported by the button shortcode: http://screencast.com/t/X3KEA4YoVc but when you select a color, there will be another name to it. For example the ‘classic red’ will be named: http://screencast.com/t/KTNOIT3fa
I hope this helps.
Thank you!

Hello Abi,
Please make sure you select the right category from the block settings: http://screencast.com/t/T8WWisyjU and make sure you have posts set to that specific category. If you simply create a new category that has no posts in it, then the slide element will have nothing to display.
Thank you!

Hi,
Please provide more details to how and where you changed them and where you expect the change to display.
Thank you!

Hello,
Unfortunately we do not recommend changing the width of the theme as all elements depend on this width. It will need a whole lot of different customization if you want to change the width over the whole site as all the elements need to be adjusted to this new width. You will need to hire a developer to help you out if you really need this customization.
Thank you!

Hello,
Unfortunately there is no such sorting option in our theme so it will have to be made custom. It’s not so easy though. Making new sorting options requires substantial php knowledge. You can follow this topic to see how a new sorting option can be done:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/implemented-new-sort-most-popular-among-posts-of-last-7-days/
Thank you!

Hello,

The theme has no such option at the moment, but it can be done by editing the theme files:
You need to add this part:

<div class="td-excerpt">
  <?php echo $this->get_excerpt();?>
</div>

In this file like so: http://screencast.com/t/59FAP8BJ
Then you need to set the excerpt limit because now it will grab all the post content.
You can set the limit here: http://screencast.com/t/7AE9ucWiG
Result: http://screencast.com/t/9SPzaqBkD

Thanks.

Hello,

You can reduce the width of the site (but not the content) by using this css:

.td-boxed-layout #td-outer-wrap{
width: 1080px;!important;
}

Thank you!

Hi,
I understand now. The category tag is first set if there is a primary category selected here: http://screencast.com/t/hPYrgxbkI
If no primary category is set then it will grab the first category from here: http://screencast.com/t/RjAc0W095Em
Thanks.

Hi,
you can either use a plugin or create the redirect in your htaccess file: http://www.inboundnow.com/how-to-properly-set-up-wordpress-301-redirects/
Thanks.

Hello,
Please follow the tutorial I posted on page 1 (follow every step carefully) and if you follow every step and still cannot get it to work, then send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect it.
Thank you!

Hello Virginie,

Our theme only has one version. There is no French version or English version that we know of. You must be using a plugin to display different version of your site. Unfortunately these types of plugins are not tested so so we cannot say for sure why this happens. Please try to empty your cache and reset your cdn files if you use it. If you still cannot get it to work you may have to replace the plugin. (qtranslate x seems to work as suggested by our users but again, it’s not tested.)

Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, there’s no ideal size, if you want to display something to the left and right of the content area like for example – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_fashion/td-post-taylor-swifts-stylish-separates-in-germany-shop-them-here/ you have to take in account the content area width – http://screencast.com/t/gUzSJbQW9I and create a background image based on that – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_fashion/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/fashion-bg.jpg and use it like this: http://screencast.com/t/ZbPvjtikphb

For best graphic results you could use a full hd image (1920x1080px), make sure you compress it, you don’t want a large file, it will slow page loading speed.
Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for your suggestions. We already have these requests on our list of updates but it’s the developers who determine what gets implemented.
There are alternative solutions at the moment for your requests:
1) https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-do-i-create-a-completely-blank-page/
2) You can create your pages for the categories in visual composer and create a simple 301 redirect for your category links to the specific pages you want.
Thank you!

Hello,
The criteria for displaying one category or the other is the one you specify. If you have your grid filtered to ‘latest posts’, it will display the latest posts of all categories http://screencast.com/t/v4anZcsS so all categories will appear in the grid.
If you only specify one category in your grid, then only one category will show up: http://screencast.com/t/d8vsGaSd
Youcan filter a specific sub-categry or you can have multiple categories for it.
Please read the documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!

Yes…the 7 days sorting also requires the views active so this method will also work with the 7 days post sorting.
Thank you!
