Hello amn2892,

You can make your website blocked version simply by setting a background color or a background image.
The margins and borders on the site you specified are custom added. There is no option in the theme panel for borders and there is no way to set them globally. You have to target each element and style it using css.
As for the black border, please provide a link to the problem (to your website) so we can inspect it and find a solution.

Thank you.

Hello,

I understand but the theme only supports youtube or vimeo as a featured video as shown above.
You can avoid the repetition on articles by activating the ‘unique articles’ option in page editing: http://screencast.com/t/64vfKNGI
If the option does not show up, make sure all options are checked in ‘screen option’ (at the top of the screen).

Thank you!

Hello Jethron,

There is no option to hide specific category titles. There is an option to remove all category titles though: http://screencast.com/t/eDMrVMtk
Unfortunately the theme settings are not THAT specific, but you can use a custom css to do it.
There is just one problem. You cannot select a category tag by name. It can only be selected by number: first one, second one, third one…so you can remove a specific category but only on that position. If in one post the category you want to hide is displayed as the second one and on other post it is the third it will not work and it will hide another category you do not want hidden.
Bottom line: if you use this code, make sure the category you want to hide has the same position in every post.

.td-post-title .td-category li:nth-child(2){
display:none;
}

Thank you.

Hi,

That happens because the setting you currently use has been changed in the latest update. It’s enough to go to theme panel >categories and set the category template: http://screencast.com/t/Z2EDhO18khuK make sure you clear the cache, purge cdn file if you’re using and test again.

Thanks!

Hello Thalisson,

Unfortunately we have not tested scripted ads. The theme was designed to work with adsense.
There is another method by using this tutorial and see if your ad shows up: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads/
You can also try your code in a WordPress text widget: http://screencast.com/t/a2POOgO6
Also double check your code when you copy it, some of the formatting can be lost.

Thank you!

Hello Sejpost,

Visual composer was updated in our latest version (6.5) If you have version 6.4 or lower, we recommend updating the theme and visual composer as well.

Thank you.

Glad it worked out.
Have a nice day!

Hi,
The screenshot i provided above shows this exact thing: http://screencast.com/t/CWxh0rTwt. In visual composer, when you add a new element the settings appear by default. You can enter block settings again by clicking on the pencil icon that appears when you hover over a block.
Please read our documentation for more info on block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thank you!

Hello Steven,

Here is the code needed:

.td_block_6 .td_module_5{
border-bottom: 1px solid #032357!important;
}

I set it to 1 pixel height. If you want the border thicker just increment this number.
result: http://screencast.com/t/iGnc52c1kD

Thanks!

Hello Alessandro,

Post background inherits the category background. You can set it from the category options in the theme panel for each category: http://screencast.com/t/TKVkuiIwXvFF.
There is also a post style that uses the featured image as background – post style 8: http://screencast.com/t/7A3iDJavkpn – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/
Unfortunately the sidebar color can only be changed with custom css:
.td-main-sidebar .td-ss-main-sidebar {
background-color:red
}

I hope this helps
Thank you!

Hello Thierry,

That too can come from a plugin. There is also a toolbar toggle: http://screencast.com/t/1UWPbKV0sfjX which if not active, half of your options disappear.

I hope this helps.

Thank you!

Hello atw101,

First, make sure you have enough posts created so there is content to be displayed. Then assign a featured image to your posts. Then, please make sure you do not disable visual composer as it is required by the theme. Disable all plugins except visual composer. If the problem is still there, try to disable lazy load animation: http://screencast.com/t/XzMt3WJtKuJ
If the problem is still there, provide a link to your site so we can take a look and figure it out.

Thank you!

Hello Rob.

The theme does not have such an option but it can be done with custom modifications. You need to know a bit of HTML and CSS. You can add a title with a ‘a:hover’ property to the image and then set it to display the hidden information. Then you need CSS to style your setup. If you cannot manage on your own i suggest you hire a freelancer to do it.

Thank you!

Hello Rhonda,

The predefined content cannot be changed from the theme panel. It does not show up in any of the settings. The footer widgets are empty by default. You add content by dragging widgets to them.
If the titles is what you want to change, you can change them from the theme panel->translation: http://screencast.com/t/Kk5Nf3nL6rPh – http://screencast.com/t/qipFmnVF66no
Different footer styles come with different predefined content. Try them out and see which one works for you.
I hope this helps.

Thank you!

Hello Lagun,

Please provide more details to your problem. A link to your website and a screenshot will help us see the problem and get an idea of what might be wrong.

Thank you

P.S. If you are looking for tabs, visual composer has a tab element as well.

Hello Arafat,

I have inspected the site you provided and the sidebar widget you pointed out is not a plugin. It is created. Maybe implemented by the theme the site uses.

Thank you!

Hello Thierry,

Please disable all of your plugins except visual composer and see if the problems are still there. Sometimes these errors come from plugins. Normally the sidebar should move under your content on mobile devices, not in it’s original position, so the fact that it is sticky or not does not matter.
Try it without plugins and let me know how it goes.

Thank you!

Hello,

I have checked your site again and i noticed you do not have posts in all categories yet. Make sure you have more than 5 post in a category, because the theme excludes the first ones which are displayed in the category top post. If you do not have enough posts, the blocks have nothing to display.
If this is not the case, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp admin so we can inspect the problem. Also provide a link to this topic here.

Thank you!

Hi,

The file you are looking fore is called ‘td_block_ad_box.php’ and can be located here: http://screencast.com/t/tO88VK9S

Thanks

Hello sejpost,

You can do it by creating your menu with custom links named the same as the category and link it to # http://screencast.com/t/cgg9gU1DR
Then select the mega menu feature – http://screencast.com/t/lOAAha7N

I hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hello sejpost,

You can modify the top menu using custom css. This code changes the minimum height the top menu is going to display, the padding is to align it vertically and font size is font size. (no explanation needed there). You can change these values to your preference, i set them just as an example of how it can be done:

.td-container.td-header-row.td-header-top-menu {
min-height:50px;
padding-top:10px;
font-size: 13px;
}

The result: http://screencast.com/t/XgxOIVMhWkR

Thank you!

Hi,

Unfortunately we have not tested this so i cannot provide a solution, sorry, just try to follow their guide and see if it works. Another solution would be to look for a professional developer to help you with this or maybe there’s someone here how tested this and can come with some feedback.

Thank you!

Hello Miriam,

We have not tested if it will work, as version 3.8 is a bit old and we only tested updating from version 4.
You could try to update to 4 and then follow our update guide(make sure to back-up), but our suggestion is to delete the old version, install the new one, and rebuild your site without using the script.
Newspaper 6 is a whole new theme that is released for free for all of our existing customers so an update to version 6 may cause the same issues as switching to another theme (but we did try to maintain compatibility where ever possible).
Always make a full backup of your current installation – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then 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/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. Also you have to update the child theme if you use it, please note that old files customization or custom css will not work with the new version and you will have to adjust and re-add them.
Bottom line is that newspaper 6 is a whole new theme built from scratch.

Hope this helps.
Thank you!

Hello andiruleu,

You can do that by making the sidebar ‘smart’. You have to add the td-ss-row class to the row which contains the sidebar in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/akddg5Q86H
You can read more about smart sidebars in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/

Thanks.
