Not sure bud, maybe clear the cache?

That plugin works on NewsMag and WP 4.1.1 with default settings everywhere. Very simple plug-n-play functionality. If you’ve changed the theme so that it does call get_avatar() – or another plugin is changing that, then it won’t work without using the more advanced install.

My guess is either the cache or another plugin that works with the avatar conflicting.

If your admin account email address is not setup on Gravatar.com, then you need to use a plugin to manage the user profile images. Simple Local Avatars is a free one from the plugin repository that works well for this.

Not sure why it does that. Seems like I’ve seen another thread here about a bug on custom ad slots. That’s a question for tagDiv Devs.

Why not just use the header ad box? Already goes into the header where it’s needed. Maybe it won’t disappear?

Yeah, always use custom CSS in the theme panel to keep updates from overriding your changes.

Technically, a table works, but you’d have a better time sticking with what you had and the CSS I sent you.

        <a href="http://ad-domain.com/link/">
            <img src="path/to/ad/image/two.jpg">
        </a>

That’s what you had in there, basically. An anchor around and image. Clean and simple.

Whether you do it the newer way or stick with old school, add a class to the links and use that selector to style the links/image individually.

@suport002 Speaking in theory, as I haven’t tried it myself, but couldn’t he simply place his html in the header ad box for two images, and style them with a bit of custom css?

@bhcrow Based on what you have on your site right now (both anchors with images inside overlapping each other), add the following code to your custom CSS in the theme panel. It puts the two images side by side and restricts their width and height to the 728×114 ad container.

.td-header-ad-wrap div div a {
  display: inline-block;
  width: 362px;
  padding-left: 2px;
  height: 114px;
}

.td-header-ad-wrap div div a img {
  width: 100%;
  position: relative !important;
  max-height: 100%;
}

This works but it is rough. You will still need tweak it a bit to fit your application and the images used.

You can find a complete, easy to follow, reference for CSS at W3 Schools CSS. That will help you understand the properties I used above so you can tweak them. The selectors are correct though, for your code.

Hope this gets your site moving in the right direction.

Good luck.

@adi_mitran The theme documentation details which modules are used by which blocks – Block & Modules NewsMag Documentation.

This is what I see on your site:

It’s not clickable because no anchor exists in the code, but it is showing the banner in the correct position. Can you be more specific about the problem?

That can be done. I didn’t find any plugins that can do this. It shouldn’t be a plugin anyway. Plugins are a whole process and inline code is just quicker, if done well.

Email me at projects@slugbite.com to continue. Use Custom Logo Based on Page as the subject, please, so I know it’s related to this support request.

tagDiv doesn’t usually control the titles like that so greater SEO results can be obtained with tools like Yoast SEO. Can’t know for sure without seeing your site and the title tag output. URL please.

What criteria will be used to determine that a different logo is required? There may be free or already existing premium plugins out there that can handle it, depending on the criteria.

I’m guessing some pages (WP definition of a page, vs a post) will need a different logo, and the categories too (sounds like your categories are the different sports you cover, NFL, NBA, MLB< Soccer, etc.). But please correct me or confirm or both, so I know how the change of logo will be triggered.

I’ll gladly offer a consultation, but I’d like to make sure you need customization and not a readily available – and possibly free – plugin first.

Thanks!

Regarding the footer:

That’s where you control the theme settings for the footer. The screenshot you showed is just the WordPress widgets page. You can find all the details about the footer in the documentation, here: NewsMag Documentation: Set The Footer

I’m not sure if UTF8 is not working and that’s why you’re seeing that issue with the posts. Typically if a charset isn’t working, the characters won’t display or they may display but garbled. What you’re showing is a whole post disappearing from your index.

Unfortunately, I can’t think of anything to help with that issue. The development team will be around Monday though.

Thanks, and good luck.

Not within the current theme, no.

A custom function could be built to either check on page load if the current page has a specific and different logo assigned, or to add a custom field on each post which holds the url of the desired logo for that page.

The latter method would be most efficient, but you need someone familiar with WordPress, php, and html (maybe JavaScript too) to code it. Such functionality is beyond the scope of the NewsMag theme.

Via FTP, go to /wp-content/plugins/ and delete the td-social-counter folder.
Then, upload the unzipped td-social-counter folder from the /plugins/ directory in your download.

Simple as that.

Here’s a thread in the forum that shows how to disable it. 3 file edits in all – How to disabled lazy load

@Vincentb75 That looks great! I’m glad you found what you were looking for.

That site really is the ultimate resource for CSS3 (and others), and it’s official so you can trust it.

The Devs are working on several fixes for the theme currently, but no indication yet that they’ve identified a source for the slow down.

I’d stay with 1.6 for now.

If you run into something you don’t quite understand in the code I’ve given you, go to the W3 Schools CSS Reference and look up the item on left hand menu. That’s a master CSS reference and it’s simple enough for beginners to follow along well.

.td-logo-text {
   font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif !important;
   text-transform: none; /* Removes uppercase format */
   font-size: 1.2em; /* Can use em, rem, px, or pt units here, set to preference */
}

.td-tagline-text {
   font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif !important;
   text-transform: none; /* Removes uppercase format */
   font-size: 1.2em; /* Can use em, rem, px, or pt units here, set to preference */
}

.td-header-text-logo {
   margin: 60px 10px 60px 30px !important;
   /* These are default margins for the logo wrapper. In order - TOP RIGHT BOTTOM LEFT */
   /* Reduce the values currently at 60px to tighten the header up more */
}

Don’t forget, if you change something and it doesn’t show up on the site, add !important before the semi-colon to override conflicting styles from the theme stylesheet.

Put this in your custom CSS and choose your font. You might need to google the proper font name to use below for the desired font.

.td-logo-text {
   font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif !important;
}

.td-tagline-text {
   font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif !important;
}

The !important may not be required, but doesn’t hurt anything to have it there to be sure your custom settings are used, instead of defaults.

Selecting a google font should work since it’s included in the theme, but you might have to make sure you use the chosen font in at least one spot on the Theme Fonts settings panel to get it loaded smoothly by the theme.

Once you enable all of the sizes in the theme panel (they don’t all come enabled by default), regenerate your thumbnails and that grey area will go away. The images will be both scaled down correctly from the original and cropped to fit the exact dimensions of each thumbnail use on the site. But again, only if enabled in the panel I screen capped above.

As Chris pointed out, WordPress will only scale images down, not up. So make sure any images you upload are originally large enough to fill any space you will need it for. I believe the lone exception is that the theme will blow up an image to fit the screen if you use a the full-width featured post post format, but that’s because it’s a background image in that style.

URL?

And have you checked this section of the theme panel to make sure the proper thumbnail sizes are turned on? The theme automatically creates the correctly sized and/or cropped images for each element in the theme, if it is turned on via this section. This section allows you to turn off certain sizes that you don’t use, which saves resources.

If you disabled all plugins then the header problem would have gone away. The only other explanation, besides a plugin conflicting somewhere, is if you have custom code that is conflicting somehow.

I see you also use WP Fastest Cache. Turn off JavaScript minification and combination in the settings. That *can* cause this issue. NewsMag theme documentation says not to minify the .js because it breaks the code. You can leave on all of the other settings for WPFC, including the css minification and combination features.

Be sure to completely clear the cache, including the CSS and JS (the bottom option on the admin bar WPFC menu) after you change the settings.

Let me know.

Custom fields and a new post type would be your best bet to accomplish the print edition archive. It’s way beyond the scope of support for the theme, but you can get tons of information by googling wordpress advanced custom fields and wordpress custom post types should be helpful too.

There are plenty of free (very well tested and highly regarded) plugins to help you create the post types. Building the front-end design would have to be done manually, though. Current post templates won’t display the custom post type entries the way you’re wanting.

Good luck!

The problem with the header is a conflict.

Disable all plugins except those distributed with NewsMag. Re-enable your plugins one by one until the problem with the header returns. The conflict is disrupting most of the javascript on the site (search, theme social sharing popups, and probably the lazy load/infinite load on posts too, if it were enabled).

This may very well be a conflict caused by using NewsMag (built specifically for Visual Composer) with TCB.

Find the conflict and it may fix both issues. Won’t know how the excerpt issue is affected until that conflict has been resolved.

Good luck.

@suport002 Take your time. We definitely need the corrections to 1.7 but we need you guys to test them rigorously, and that takes time. Better > Faster

Just sayin.
