Thanks for your help but maybe I haven’t explained my problem.

I need to render 2 different displays depending on the current post’s category. Here’s part of the td_module_3.php code with my comments:


<div class="<?php echo $this->get_module_classes();?>">
<div class="td-module-image">
<!-- IF CURRENT POST IS IN RECIPE CATEGORY -->
<?php echo $this->get_image('td_324x324');?>
<!-- IF CURRENT POST IS NOT IN RECIPE CATEGORY -->
<?php echo $this->get_image('td_324x235');?>
<?php if (td_util::get_option('tds_category_module_3') == 'yes') { echo $this->get_category(); }?>
</div>
<?php echo $this->get_title();?>
</div>


I’m not sure how to pull the data like post ID from the “$this” array and check to see if it’s top parent category is “recipe.”

Thanks for your reply.

I know where to activate it… and it’s activated. However, clicking “load more” button doesn’t seem to use the same php template as Block 5 (td_module_3.php).

Here’s the page with the problem:

Turns out I had some corrupted Firefox files. If anyone else has same problem for some reason, just refresh Firefox.

Thanks for your help.

I’ve used 4 different ad servers with Newspaper theme and all of them have worked. Most every ad server requires 2 bits of code:

1. The call script to the ad server. Usually this will go in the header.php file of the theme/child theme or you can ad it in custom code > advanced from the theme panel.
2. The ad display code, which you can place in the newspaper theme panel > ads section or in widgets, etc…. where ever you wan the actual ad to display.

Ads won’t display without both of those elements on the page.

I found a solution for my specific case involving inline ads. I was able to move td_module_single_base.php to my child theme and modify the $tds_inline_ad_align section with my php variables. I trigger the “case” by putting a comment in the theme ad box. <!– Inline ad code in td_module_single_base –>

I agree that offering some sort of PHP enabling would be beneficial. In our case, we’ve used several services like OPenX, SmartAdServer, DFP, etc. combined with PHP for ad targeting specific states, regions, categories, tags, page ID’s, etc. Newspaper’s ad system works great for certain kinds of ad setups but not for others.

Thank you. Somehow, I the call to locate_template('parts/search.php', true) went missing.

I appreciate your quick response.

Sorry… just found problem after comparing to another theme license. My permalink structure didn’t include a trailing slash, which seemed to be the problem.

Thanks again for a great theme!

I found a way by just eliminated the top posts from each category and adding the shortcode to the proper template in my child theme:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_3 category_id="' . $thisid . '"][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>
