Hi @libtetto,

We’re running a Newspaper site on PHP7, it’s running smoothly. We did not perform a PHP7 compatibility check after the latest update, as there was no need.
Cheers

Hello,
Thank you, we have done that, however now our side bar, is not “smart” anymore, as we have integrated it manually:

How can we make it “smart” again?
Thanks

Hi,

Actually, after Googling for a few min, we found this in the 7th search result:

This is the needed code:

<form method="get" id="search form" action="/">
<div>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="hidden" value="22" name="cat" id="scat" />
<input type="submit" id="search_submit" name="Search" value="Search"/>
</div>
</form>

And it works flawlessly:

Even applying the theme’s style:

cheers

Hi again @neotrope,

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://www.emp' );
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://www.em' );

Totally worked!
Thanks for your assistance (and knowledge).

Hi @neotrope,
You seem more active than tagDiv themselves here! lol (no offence tagDiv)

Could you tell us where a) & c) are located?
Side question, what’s your newspaper-powered site? would like to see it, as you seem to know a bunch about the theme.
Cheers!

tagDiv, what’s your position on this?

We get these errors/warnings:

It’s really not a lot of changes, wonder why you’re reluctant to implement them.
Cheers

Hi, thanks for you solution, however it does not work as expected: now the footer is also boxed:
We need the Instagram pictures to be boxed, however not the whole footer. It is especially important to have them (Instagram pictures) boxed as that are not being delivered via thumbnail, but full size, increasing site load time (see -denied- support request here)
Thanks

so upon the next update our changes will be gone…

Hi,
We have done all as instructed:

td_module_2.php:

CSS:

And it breaks the site:

This is the link to the dev site: https://emprendedor.staging.wpengine.com/

Hopefully you’ll be able to see what’s wrong.
Thanks!

Hi @Noetrope, yes they are:

@bogdan-b, how can we fix this? i.e. add thumbnails/dynamically generate thumbnails to the widget?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for the info! it totally helped. I thought the number set in the custom field would be static, not increasing with new counts 🙂

On the other hand, what/where can we modify in order to get the counter on the front-end (pages, blocks)?

just as here:

Thanks!

Also, on the other hand, we’d like to implement the reader on the front pages, i.e. as here:

Where should we start?
Thanks!

P.S.: many newspaper/blog sites (i.e. entrepreneur)have this function, I think Tagdiv could consider implementing this into the theme.

Hi @djalejo,

Did you have any luck with the plugin? we’ve found one called Reading Time WP, however are still struggling to implement it correctly (see here).
Cheers!

Thanks all good now, except for the mobile theme. Where can we edit the files for the mobile theme sharing options?:
Cheers!

Hi, thanks for that, did not see it 🙂

We’ve enabled the custom sizes for mobile, however, some ads work correctly:

result:

Other don’t work:

Result:

We’ve basically set all mobile sizes to 320×50, cleared caches, but still no luck. Also tried it on a real phone (not the Chrome simulator) and the same there.

Cheers!

Hi, the theme has “Custom JS” where we can insert code, we’ve inserted the code from the tagdiv_theme.js file:

Maybe the script is wrong? I’m not particularly good at JS
Thanks!

Hi, that’s Ok, I tried the console to find the URL, but no luck here. Where/how do we change this image then?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can the JS be inserted into the theme’s panel? like this we don’t create “another” child theme file, so updating the theme would not be that painful.
Thanks!

Hi, we got it working, however the Linkedin icon is not there:

Just saw the comment that “font awesome 4 menus” needed to be installed. All working now, thanks!

Hi,
It seemed to work (on 1 post template):

But not here:

And we have the post comments disabled:

Does this mean we need to update “all” post templates?
If yes, it’d be easier/more convenient, to have 1 standard post footer for all posts (and then custom ones per post type).
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for that, but how do we change the colors&size of the “”? we’d like the color&size to be different (custom) from the text.
http://prntscr.com/ctsza8
Thanks!

Actually, now it appears twice on the site (did not clear the server cache before):

hope you can give me a hint on how to disable the double comment appearing
Regards!

Awesome thing @Bogdan-b, thanks!

Hi again,
We’ve just done as instructed by Bogdan, however there are no changes, we’ve even deleted the Pinterest button, and it’s still there. Did the code move elsewhere?

Thanks!

@gfran5 true story- I vote for it too
