Yep. Same problem here. It was working perfectly fine before the update. Looks like something broke on their back-end.

Where can I find the style sheet to edit the Header 27 from the Cloud Templates library? I need to remove a background URL that I can’t fix through TD_Composer.

I have this line of code below that I need to remove the URL for because it’s no longer valid and it’s slowing my website down by 9s.

</style>
<div class=”td_uid_4_5d1040363da5a_rand_style td-element-style” ><div class=”td-element-style-before”><style>
.td_uid_4_5d1040363da5a_rand_style > .td-element-style-before {
content:” !important;
width:100% !important;
height:100% !important;
position:absolute !important;
top:0 !important;
left:0 !important;
display:block !important;
z-index:0 !important;
background-image:url(“https://i2.wp.com/vettoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/201900229dd9abd3-ded7-b9c6-87e4-e8ec0011ab12-2.png?fit=50%2C50&ssl=1&#8221;) !important;

Thanks for the heads up, Netz. Is there a way to hide the video player icon from appearing in the thumbnail image until this is fixed then?

edit 2: I’ve also tried forcing a site-wide “Style 10” selection from the theme panel under Post Settings. The theme doesn’t seem to be respecting the selection since the update. I do not have a third party editor installed (no bakery, no gutenberg) just the TD composer.

edit 3: Also, if post style 5 is chosen, I shouldn’t see a featured image appearing at the top of the post under the headline, but it’s still showing up now.

Final update: I fixed everything.

The solution:
– In order to correct the theme breaking from updating the template, I had to rollback, and then re-attempt the update which allowed me to activate and update TD composer
– For some reason, this update moved the mailchimp form that was embedded in the footer over to the sidebar..hmmm…I had to re-embed it and now it works again
– WP Bakery appears to be conflicting with TD Composer, I had to disable it in order to correct the above screenshot you see. Some TD composer elements were missing due to the WP Bakery conflict such as Single Image and empty spacer. Not sure why.

Update:

I was able to correct the majority of the issues with the exception of one thing. I had two main images on my homepage below my slider and now I can’t seem to edit them at all as they appear cropped/glitched out on the homepage since the update. Here is a screenshot of some code I see in TD composer but there’s no way for me to edit it or click on it.

edit: I’m also noticing that the “empty space” and “single image” from the composer block shortcode is missing.

Yeah something’s very very wrong with the child theme since the last update. What was the purpose of this update anyway?

And just to add to my comment above, I have the child theme installed and activated. That’s what I’ve been using for the past year as I had a developer update the footer with an embedded contact form. Are you guys saying that the child theme is no longer supporter and that I need to switch over to the main parent theme and lose the development done on the other? I’m just trying to understand the situation now going forward with future updates.

I’m using the child theme and can’t roll back because I didn’t backup before saving. I also had custom work done on the child theme mostly the footer with a contact form. Are you saying that I can’t use the child theme anymore and I lost these changes I had made to it?

The problem is that everytime I try to update the plugins either using the theme dashboard or the plugins page it gives me this error:

PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) : Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature

Td composer had also disabled itself and won’t enable again. Other people seem to be having this exact issue. Also, the desktop version now has the formatting of the mobile theme. There’s something wrong with the delivery of the update.

I had to put my website into maintenance mode because I do not have a backup to roll back to a previous version and the theme is completely unusable right now everything is messed up see image below. All I did was update to the latest Newspaper version, never expected these issues. Now critical plugins disabled themselves mostly TD composer and will not enable itself or update. I get the above error anytime I try to activate the plugin. What happened?? How can I fix this?

I am using a child version of the theme.

Add me to the list, my website is completely messed up since the update. Does anyone know how to roll it back to the previous version? I foolishly didn’t backup the site before updating it.

How do you revert to the old version?

It also doesn’t let me activate the td composer ???

I’ll try the infobox element with the images I have up currently and see how that goes.

Do you think that maybe you can give me some quick feedback on how the menu came out on my site? ?

Thank you again for all of your help!

Wow, thank you so much for all of the help! All of your screenshots helped me set it up the way I needed without having to modify the templates code 🙂

One last question though (hopefully) – on my main homepage http://www.vettoc.com I am using two “Hover Box” modules and I placed two images in them to get that effect (I like the flipping animation). I don’t see a way to replicate this in tagdiv (I’m redoing the homepage in your tagdiv editor as opposed to using bakery).

Last question (I didn’t want to open individual threads for each question):

1.) If you go to my site http://www.vettoc.com, I am using the Header 27 specified in the previous response, why can’t I edit the sticky menu? There’s no option to edit it in tagdiv. If you scroll down you can see it’s still showing the demo logo/button.

To recap, there are a total of 5 questions here remaining in this thread between the previous 3 posts.

Thanks!

I was playing around with the cloud header templates and your suggestion, but the other headers still crop the images too much.

Question – I am trying to use this header because I really like it:
https://cloud.tagdiv.com/header-template-27/?edit_url=null

1.) How do I change the turquoise colored area to another color? The part that says “Express delivery etc. etc.” I can change the text but I can’t figure out how to change the actual color of it.

1.1) As a side inquiry – how can you remove that part of the header altogether and replace it with a small shadow to give the header an accent?

2.) How can I add a solid background color to the top menu header part where it says “contact us, work with us..etc.etc” I want to make the entire top header (full width of the site) red and the text/social icons white.

But the theme crops the image this way because it’s coded to do so, correct?

So if I had custom development done on the theme to remove or change that code, this could be a solution as well, correct?

Everytime I try using a cloud template for anything the CSS always comes in broken.

Also, how do I get rid of latest articles like at the bottom of my homepage http://www.vettoc.com so that I can use a different module to load better thumbnail sizes?

Keep in mind, I’m using the Bakery page/post editor not themediv editor. Is this an issue?

How can we change the theme so that it’s not predefined anymore and aligns the image thumbnail to the left as opposed to center top?

Bump.

Bump.

Actually nevermind, I just noticed that you released a 7.8.1. I am running on 7.8. Why doesn’t this theme automatically update like every other theme??

How do I update the theme without damaging anything I have on the website currently? Easiest way.

Correction to the above, I have since solved the issue. I called hostgator again to speak with a different rep, they cleared the server side cache and it worked! Template is fine, I recommend to the original OP that he touch basis with his provider again.

To add to this, I am also having this same exact issue. I contacted Hostgator and they assured me they have no server side caching. The issue for me is not isolated simply to the homepage but rather across the whole site. When I make a change, I have to manually ctrl+f5 to see the changes on each page. Clicking on a new menu item and then back will not load the changes.

This seems to be a template issue as I tested this by installing a new instance of WP and used default themes and did not encounter this issue. I am also running multiple sub-domains with no issues.

Please help.
