Thanks. Looks like I remembered it wrong way, that it was actually “formats” not “format” and with some update the first one disappeared, but found it now and added it back. Thanks.

Hi Scotte

This is actually simplest thing ever.

On your wordpress admin page go to
> SETTINGS
> GENERAL
> DATE FORMAT

And there set your own custom timeformat, example: j. F Y, H:i

@Jfthai2015 td_module.php?

Never mind. Just found out that new newspaper update was out and after the update, everything is EXACTLY the way I wanted in the first place. 😉

Okay, I give up. I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong with TABS.

Tried to add hr/separator there like you see from left side. So they both can have exactly same design. But every time when I try to use margin for separator it disappears. I can play margins for whole tabs or any blocks inside it, but whenever I try it for separator, it disappears. Also tried to play with border bottom for tabs, but it adds that border of course whole tabs bottom.

Also, since I used separator inside tabs, it means that I need to duplicate to all tabs windows. Which is probably another bad idea. So I tried to add hr via css, but it did not end well. Same when I tried to use some td css for titles.

Any ideas?

Also again that green color appeared. Any clue where I can find that green color in newspaper theme panel so I can change it forever and permanently.

I suggest using Let’s Review plugin. Only thing with other plugins like Let’s Review plugin is that Newspaper theme has been built up little bit strange and it’s kind of pain in the ass to get shown reviews scores (like stars) on front page post list like you see with wp-review plugin what they use.

Why? You guys are using WP Review plugin, so all that work is already done. And all I need now should be just a simple fix to change it. But if you actually do it in every module itself not in one place, then yeah I understand that it would be difficult to replace it after every update. At the moment I have API function to call out, all I needed to know where is exactly that function are what you are calling out at the moment in theme so I can replace it with other.


if ( class_exists( 'Lets_Review_API' ) ) {
$my_score_box = Lets_Review_API::lets_review_get_score_box( $post->id );
echo $my_score_box;
}


Theme itself does not have something similar?

Since default review system design and UX is like it is and contributors can’t access it, we changed review system. The new review system is codetipi Let’s Review and it does not add stars on post topic like default review system. So now I am looking how and where to change code the way it would be less messy (less changes now and after future newspaper updates).

So instead of removing stars. I want to add stars back. 😉

So if I want to display stars there I need to step by step go through all these modules? ohh.. I was hoping that there is some way to do it via custom css or custom code.

This one ->

Anyone else knows where I should look/find that topics part where newspaper added review stars?

Anyway I think that after experimenting with different ways I found a way how to do it. Almost got it the way I want

Yeah that’s exactly what I wanted to do, but have not been able to find the proper way how to make these changes, so far when I try to make things look same way, it will mess up something else same time. especially when I am trying to add line there.

So I thought that maybe there is a way to ignore visual composer tabs and use theme blocks or something. But with blocks there is no way to use different things in same block like visual composer tabs offering – one shows popularity, one shows some text or html tab, one shows category sorted some way, etc.

thanks Catalin

Hmmm.. In that case, is there any other ways to use theme or visual composer options to use something similar from the left side? Things what you see left side, when I looked through I was able to see that only things I can use there is categories. But maybe I missed something somewhere and there is actually possible to use popular posts and other things too?

Before I posted that problem here, I already looked through these plugins.
Anyway I threw that review plugin completely away now. But another problem still remains post settings, where they can add/change source name and source url. Now I am looking to ways how to get rid of other part of newspaper theme. It’s kind of annoying when some parts clearly should be available to contributors but for some sick reason theme has been made it the way that only your site admins can make posts <- which is totally STUPID. There is reason why there is different roles in wordpress, like admin, author, contributor. All them should have different privileges, but ALL of them should be able to create full posts and thats how wordpress and most themes works. Newspaper is the first theme where you need to have full privileges to create full post. <- And it’s wrong. 100% wrong way.

Did you find solution how to add WP-Review stars after posts topic, like they did in theme? Some way that does not disappear, will not be overwritten, once you update theme. I have looked through the code and so far I still have not found the way.

Hmmm… Do I need to build up totally new child theme and move step by step all custom modifications to new one or will it work old child theme with new one too?

yeah done these things already. These 2-3 free plugins what you can find from wordpress plugins section are kind of horrible and none of these will hook up with newspaper theme. Only ones which are acceptable and offer some freedom to change and have better acceptable desing are the ones you need to buy. Example: Cubell Review system, codetipi review plugin, etc. Not tried codetipi review plugin yet (it looks exactly same as cubell review system), I am waiting answer from them does will it work with other themes like newspaper theme or not.

Also considered first to modify exisiting one to design it more acceptable form, or make (or order) new one from the scratch for newspaper theme. <- So many people are searching today proper nice review plugins, so it may be a good idea to make one and later even start selling it for 5-15 euros to everybody who likes simple but better looking and easily editable review plugin. It’s kind of strange that nobody has done it yet.

So there is no point to use user role editor plugin at all then, as you suggested in first place? I still can’t give permission to contributor (if I use newspaper theme) to create posts with reviews and other newspaper theme post settings (like adding source, etc.)?

That’s kind of stupid that it has been built that way that contributors either will have access everything as authors and editors have or they do not have access to post settings (including review plugin). Most of newspaper theme has been built up pretty well so for me is kind of big surprise to see something like that, how’s that possible that when you built it you did not look through different roles. It’s really strange not to let contributors to use things what they need to make new posts. 😉

By the way I checked and I do not see that authors have access to theme panel, same time they have access to post settings and review part. So it means that it’s possible to make that change pretty easily.

Would even do that via user role editor, but have still not found that newspaper theme post settings part to enable to contributors. What name I should look or is it hidden the way that it does not show up on role manager plugin?

With other themes and review plugins we never had that sort of problem before. So why Newspaper is blocking completely normal needed thing for contributors? These reasons are incomprehensible to me.

And I already looked through the role manager and did not notice anywhere where I can give permissions for contributors only to Newspaper post settings (including review) plugin/part.

Most of our users are contributors who can write articles, make reviews, but they are not allowed to publish this things until editors are checked their articles.

You should really consider to fix it and make that plugin/part accessible to contributors too as most of other themes do today. Using LISTS, reviews, etc. it’s a part of posts.

Post settings part, what I am talking about here (remember magic word “reviews”) are not part of default wordpress, it’s a part of newspaper theme. It does not come with wordpress, it comes with newspaper theme. With WP default theme contributor have access to anything they should.

This is bug and it should be fixed.
