I don’t think there is an option to resize the thumbs in this theme. I noticed this with Newsmag, too.

I think you’d have to modify something in the functions file for the sizes used for WooCommerce.

Wait for TagDiv to chime in with official answer; I’m just providing morale support 🙂

Heh. Yeah, I’m using Newsmag for one thing, Newspaper for another. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Newspaper obviously more mater, but Newsmag has underpinnings of their new “5.0” framework, so eventually I think both will come into “alignment” which will make life easier. Obviously they need to be different.

I think you can turn off the borders in NM 1.5, or the old fix was change color to white 😉

I think for a centered post, you’d have to use the “full width” layout, but don’t quote me on that one.

Compared to the ancient 2009 “arthemia” theme we’d been using for some of our sites, Newsmag is like living in the future.

Above link looks like Newspaper theme, not Newsmag theme (at least as of 5:30pm PST on 2/25).

Not really a major issue since nobody should be going to that location anyway; the “index” in your theme folder is not part of the website.

So, likely that happened during setup/install, and won’t repeat, or somebody is probing your site for an open directory to see if the theme folder has a vulnerability.

Limit login attempts, is a great plugin to use !

This is not theme related as the basic comment functions are part of wordpress… so google search always best place to look vs waiting for help here.

But, you can add this to your functions.php file at bottom:

function remove_comment_fields($fields) {
unset($fields['url']);
return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'remove_comment_fields');

Well, to have fully different theme settings, you need to have two separate installs. Possibly use sub-domains and just install it twice. Or, use two directories like

yoursite.xxx/test1/
yoursite.xxx/test2/

This is normal wordpress stuff in no way related to the theme itself.

You can’t run two themes at same time with one install unless you’re running WP multi-user (“WPMU”).

You shouldn’t use child theme for any kind of testing, really, as it’s a redirect.

But yes(!), you could install

wp-content/themes/Newsmag
wp/content/themes/Newsmag2 *
*(edit style.css with new name)
then switch between them after making modifications to each one.

Folks have started to do this here a number of times, but sadly some people switch themes (I changed one site from Newspaper to Newsmag, for example, so a portfolio link would be wrong now).

It also tends to get buried by people posting support questions in the “portfolio” topic (hey Joe, how did you get your banner like that?) (hey Jane, your page doesn’t work in Opera Mini!) etc.

Older version of Newspaper for my blog:

🙂

Might be not enough memory for visual composer? Allocate 512MB for php for the domain.

You likely already did that.

Hopefully somebody else running theme on NGINX will chime in!

You will need to revisit all the optimizations done as many of the things in htaccess won’t work with NGINX as there are notable differences between Apache and NGINX setup. Similarly if running mod_pagespeed, setup has some differences.

You need to research optimizing WordPress for NGINX, on the web. Very commonly found subject. Theme itself needs nothing special for that.

You will likely need to post link for the TagDiv support folk to be able to determine the error by looking at the page.

That is likely the best way. There are some plugins that do this, but I’ve not yet tried any of them.

okayyyyy…..
need to do tutorial on this, but have been waiting (ahem) on next version of Newsmag theme.

First things:
1) search/replace all Google fonts in the style.css main file with web safe stack
2) make sure you have all font settings to default in the theme panel
3) you will also need to comment out the roboto and open sans sections in the … um…
/includes/wp-booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php file

which I *think* is this around line 140

// enqueue the fonts
if(!in_array('g_438', $td_user_fonts_list)) {//'g_438', //Open Sans
wp_enqueue_style('google-font-opensans', 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700&subset=latin,latin-ext'); //used on menus/small text
}

if(!in_array('g_522', $td_user_fonts_list)) {//'g_522', //Roboto condensed
wp_enqueue_style('google-roboto-cond', 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:300italic,400italic,700italic,400,300,700&subset=latin,latin-ext'); //used on content
}

might need to comment this one

wp_enqueue_style('google-font-rest','https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,700,400|Open+Sans:400italic,600italic,700italic,400,700,600'); //used on menus/small text

For v1.5, I changed those to https for a local test thing for trying to run WooCommerce with Newsmag (what I’ll be trying to finalize this weekend).

I was waiting for 1.5.1 (1.6?) before messing with complete removal and moving the Google styles to bottom of the style.css file. Getting trickier with the various pieces here.

I think I also tried removing the Google fonts from
/td_fonts.php

In this test ecom thing, I just deleted everything after Open Sans, for my purposes.

You’ll have to experiment with what to comment/remove in the booster functions file.

Simplest way is grab the cdn link from font awesome site and add to your header.php or footer.php file. I just did this for a test project.

If you are advanced you could also enqueue to load last in the speedbooster plugin.

ADVANCED USERS CODE CORRECTION:
for advanced users, you likely already caught the missing single quotes, but this is the correct syntax for changing default uploads directory to root folder, something other than uploads

define('UPLOADS', 'images');

See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php

——————-

Moving uploads folder

Set UPLOADS to :
define( 'UPLOADS', 'blog/wp-content/uploads' );

This path can not be absolute. It is always relative to ABSPATH, therefore does not require a leading slash.

@mecanik

Not an error for any of my sites using the theme.
What is there to fix?

You need to actually have an author assigned to post, AND you need to have the author meta data appearing in your posts.

This is covered in the thread you’re posting in.

Did you check your page source? Do you have an author assigned to the post instead of “admin” ? Is the author tag in the meta data when you view source?

if you don’t know what any of that means you might need to read up on how web pages work.

That is actually a *bug* as Google now loads all Youtube videos with full URL as “https always on.”

Only the shortcode youtu.be redirect is loaded as http and that shouldn’t be used anyway as it’s a “redirect” which is bad for PageSpeed rating.

Normally you create an author under “users,” then choose that author on the post page. This is a built in function of WordPress and not the theme.

If you can’t see the “authors” menu on your post pages, make that “visible” from the visibility “tab” at top right of window on any post.

Maybe try block 7 ?

@djless
wrong topic. Please post a new topic.

I think we had same issue; someplace in the templates the element for the video link is set as “//youtube” vs explicitly “https://youtube” … but I forget where that is.

You might have to look in the /includes/td-functions file (basically the “real” functions file for theme), or possibly the template for the featured video. There might even be a separate includes file in the booster folder for “video” too. Again I forget on this, sorry.

Or, wait for tagdiv support to reply with the defacto correct info. There might be the fix still found in the forum for Newsmag, but since so few people actually “tag” their posts, not sure how well that works.

Works consistent for me. Might be a caching issue.

I preferred mine, but same idea 🙂

function no_errors_please(){
return ‘You appear to be up to no good. Please stop now!';
}
add_filter( ‘login_errors’, ‘no_errors_please’ );

Some people might not get what “get off my lawn” means 😉

Google might be having issues. I had this happen with pages loading youtube videos too. Cleared up couple hours later.

I think Newsmag looks much nicer than Sahifa, personally. 🙂

They have lots of issues, too, like their menu falls behind the video on video demo pages.

I also tested a random demo page of theirs
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/themes.tielabs.com/WopIx52v

It got an 86/73 on GTMetrix.

I think Newspaper 5.0 will R O C K ! 🙂

(yeah, rah rah! I’m a fan!)
