Is there a way to hack/somewhere in the plugin code to change the mobile theme to use 300×160 thumbnail instead? It’s the only thumbnail I’ve enabled in the theme. I found that activating all thumbnails on the theme generate massive files per post (I can post up to 10 product images when writing review posts)

I’ve just updated to WordPress 5.7 on my site and everything seems to be in order so far

Hi Bogdan,

1. I did alter the default WordPress install so that all the WordPress files are inside a folder (let’s say “files/” under the root). So my WordPress Address (URL) is https://www.cravingtech.com/files, and Site Address (URL) is https://www.cravingtech.com

2. Yup, noticed it’s not a bug
3. Ah, thanks for that!

And if you want to change the Related Articles to other thumbnails that you have turned on under the Theme Panel->Block Settings:

Edit td-amp/templates/modules/td_module_amp_1.php and change the dimensions on line 19. I changed mine to 238×178 because that’s the one I’ve enabled:

echo $this->get_image(‘td_238x178’);

NOTE: These modifications will be gone if there’s a new plugin update and you overwrite the file. Just a reminder.

In my case last time, it’s due to the Javascript optimisations (so if you minify your Javascript, or install a plugin to optimise your Javascript files etc). If you want to, exclude Newsmag Javascript file from being optimised/minified: themes/Newsmag/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js

Or if you have a Cloudflare, try turning off Rocket Loader

Also worth trying to disable Lazy Load from the Theme Panel to see if it works

Good to know there will be updates to support Gutenberg. I’m playing around with it and the only thing missing at the moment is the support to make an image full-width (i.e the option won’t show on Newsmag. It’s hidden if the theme doesn’t support it yet). Apart from it, I haven’t seen any noticeable issues or anything with Newsmag

Ah, fair enough, I guess I wasn’t sure if the error was caused by the theme itself or something that I do. Thanks, I’ll try debugging this on my own

My bad, it looks like it affects Post Style 4 as well. I don’t know much about CSS but using the Inspect tool on the browser, it looks like post style 4/6 div span does not go all the way from edge-to-edge (i.e smaller width)?

Hi Catalin,

Which article was the one in your screenshot? As mentioned on my first post, it seems to happen only on articles with “Post Style 6” and “without Sidebar”. This is an example of one: https://www.cravingtech.com/razer-basilisk-fps-gaming-mouse-review.html. Another here: https://www.cravingtech.com/oppo-a77-review-great-value-price.html

I’ve tried different browsers (Opera, IE, Firefox, Chrome) in 2 different computers (1 at work and 1 at home) and still looks the same here – unless yours don’t have the issue somehow at your end?

Cheers

Thanks for the reply! I tried changing the post limit to follow your screenshot but didn’t seem to do anything.

Could it be a CSS issue or something that I put in somewhere? If you look at the “Related Articles” box, it seems to be misaligned/off: https://imgur.com/a/dry8M

Hi Bogdan,
Tried re-downloading and using the new files for v3.4. Looks like all is working as it should now – thanks!

michaelaulia

Yeah, it works at the moment because I reverted back to Newsmag version 3.3 (which is what I’m using now). If I switched to the latest Newsmag 3.4, the problem would appear again. It doesn’t appear to be a cache, thumbnails, or dns problem

An update (in case someone else encounters the same problem):

– I tried using Newsmag v3.3 style.css and overwrite it to my Newsmag v3.4. Problem still exists (so it’s not the style.css issue it seems)

– I then replace the whole folder and use/revert back to Newsmag v3.3. Problem goes away.
– If I tried the v3.4 again, problem comes back.

So for now, I’m back to using v3.3

Hi,

It looks like it’s not the thumbnails problem. I uploaded a new image and set it as the featured image and the layout still messes up.

I think it’s more like a CSS problem which is beyond my technical expert (only know a bit of it)?

michaelaulia

Ah, alright, thanks for the help. Never happened before when I upgraded the version so I wasn’t sure what’s happening.

Just installed the plugin and run the regeneration process. I have 18,298 images in total so this might take.. a while lol

Was about to test disabling my plugins but looks like someone had tried and problem still exists. Hope there is an update some time soon

michaelaulia

I notice the same problem! I wasn’t sure whether the issue has been there for long but looks like it’s because of WordPress 4.4

michaelaulia
tagDiv Member

Ah! Fixed, finally, having the same problem and unsure what’s causing it.

I had an Envato Toolkit updating theme and didn’t see any updates on the plugins. Didn’t know we need to re-download everything again + re-upload and re-update the other plugins that come with the theme manually

Cheers

Love how my tech blog now looks with NewsMag – Craving Tech, especially I can pick a cooler looking template for my review posts and a different template on other categories
