Thanks !

Thanks for the assistance Bettina, the Child Theme article was very helpful and I was able to restore functionality!

Best wishes

If I may, one follow up question: Is it possible to do a tagDiv plugin override via the child-theme?

Thanks 🙂

Hi Bennita

Do I understand correctly that TagDiv has withdrawn support for the legacy theme. That we should use custom development to regain the scroll feature on the menu? I have to ask – I must answer to bosses higher up. ~ Too many subcategories (for size setting) – without the scrollbar it becomes a useless function as you cannot see the articles thumbs.

I have also tried to add a page as a menu, as seen here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/menus-newsmag/ – for some reason the page does not show up – what type of page can be added? – the instructions was a little limited (can composer be used?). Is this something you can assist with?

Thanks.

I also tried a workaround using a cloud template:: https://www.cbn.co.za/tdb_templates/header-template-3-2/ As you will notice here, there is no scrolling on the categories / menu items on the left.

If this scrolling is possible then I can work with this.

Alternately could you or the developers perhaps give any other advice on how to keep the current menu to work (that has been used for several years) – in the /parts legacy folder?

Thanks Bettina

I tried all the above (although we do not use the mobile theme at all), but after recreating the child-theme temporarily with only the 2 basic files, the menu worked as expected.

In the child-theme, there is a /parts folder, with some files that were edited to add dynamic widgets. e.g.. header-style-3.php

Is there still support for this?

Thanks for the reply Calin

This banner was not added with any care! This is an intrusion into an otherwise perfectly working WordPress theme. WordPress admin now have these huge over blown images at the top.

Bad style!

Hello Bettina

Thank you for your great support and time spent helping with this issue.

There was a way in the end and my posts are now displaying the adverts correctly 🙂

Best wishes

Hello Bettina

Yes this did help tremendously, thank you. The single post cloud template is now with Related articles.

Please will you upscale the request regarding a filter or action hook that can be use in the cloud template output. (using the default blank template for Single) This was edited and then a Mobile template was created from that content.

The problem for me is – as you have mentioned, that the cloud template is stored in the database. There is no option to do any overrides in the child-theme.

For that reason, the only option then is to use an action or filter hook to adjust content.

Adding the PHP script via shortcode (Insert PHP Code Snippet) / using the theme shortcode block – this did not have any results.

What the script does is filter the correct advert for that category and insert that advert into the post.

Could you perhaps suggest any options that I am not seeing here?

Thank you!

I suppose then if you are using cloud templates there is also no way to have the related post section in the base of the single output.

A bit of a blunt option isn’t?

Hello and thanks for the reply.

Thus far I have tried using the add_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘update_post_views’ ); filter – this with success. However – it places the added content right at the start of the Output – ABOVE the TOP MENU ..

Is there any Theme Hook I can use to place the content – either after the main menu or before the TITLE output?

Thanks for your reply Bettina

In that case, is there any way to add the “related posts” back into the base of the single post page? And is there any way that I can hook into the cloud template, to execute the PHP advert code in the single page?

Hey Anamaria, works perfect, thank you! Great solution.

Awesome support.

hello,

Not sure how to upload screenshots here, https://we.tl/t-2QnVugD1cS

What I see is happening is: The same menu is used for the desktop version and the mobile page. This is due to setting mobile theme to only activate on AMP. – Setting in Theme Panel.
This being so, I can work with that but the sub category menu items does not all display.

The question then is, is there a config setting in PHP that can alter the amount of sub categories displayed in the mobile menu? Or is there a way with the cloud header manager to create a different header for mobile and desktop to call on different menus?

I would like the same mobile header to be displayed for FP, Loop and single pages.

thanks for taking the time to assist!

Hi Guys – After more than a year of absence I am back with another question relating to this topic. I hope you can assist.

It looks like only 50 subcategory items are displayed in the mobile menu.

This issue relates mainly to the FrontPage and Category / Archive pages. Newspaper theme is engaged here with the dedicated Mobile Page (mobile theme not active). Firstly, the output is not collecting the correct mobile menu as it is set to do – it is grabbing the desktop menu. In this case only the first 50 or so categories are displayed.

On the single pages, AMP + Mobile Theme is displaying the posts. In this part, the correct mobile menu is collected and displayed with all the subcategories.

Any ideas what I can look at to get around this?

Hi Anamaria,

Using Newspaper 11, not yet updated to 11.1

I created an override for the CSS rule causing the problem.

@media (min-width: 1164px){
.td-boxed-layout #td-outer-wrap {
max-width: 100% !important; // I CHANGED THIS WIDTH
margin: 0 auto;
}}

Many thanks Anamaria, perfect.

Thanks Vlad and Bettina for suggesting the Cloud library template route. The effort was made to recreate the current site header using the imported template. The problem with this mega-menu is that it opens a large page and you cannot scroll down to see all the categories, so this option also does not work for me.

I do think however there ought to be a way to set this subcategory count in the global theme, is it possible to escalate this request to the theme developers? They will know the variable to access to change this subcategory count number via the functions file.

enjoY a fantastic day!

Thank you Vlad, the reason I am still using the global template is that we are running a live site serving ads and 4 of these are in the Global Header position / 3. The menu is part of this Global header. For some reason, when I open my HOME page with TagDiv composer, there is no option found to edit the menu area. Am I missing something – we are using a child-theme.

Basically I need a way to edit the subcategory count in the Global Template. Is there perhaps a function I can use to override this number?

🙂 Thanks for reply.

The menu used is bundled in with the theme, I did not separately add the menu as a component via TDC – is there a way to edit this header menu with TDC?
