To use the ad box; see the theme docs on ‘custom ads’ — where you put the custom ad HTML into the custom ad box in the ad panel in the theme, not widget. Then with widget you can select a custom ‘ad spot.’

Or, just put your HTML into a plain ol’ HTML box in sidebar. I do that often. Just use the text mode, not the visual mode added with last version of WordPress.

Inserting a photo from WordPress widget is just putting a photo there, like a staff photo or company front of building, etc. — totally diff from ad banner.

Yeah, that adds a ‘line break’ as anything actually there takes a line of text, even if invisible.

Likely a fix with CSS … but, maybe the TagDiv folks will have ‘actual’ solution 😉

I think it presumes you want text + title; you might try simply putting non breaking space ?

  

May not be best solution (I don’t work here.) Just quick fix.

if you put the proper anchor link on the banner, that is part of your HTML, not the theme; so good to check the syntax of your html.

Looks like you created a background image, and not an actual banner.

Try putting the HTML for your ad in to a normal text box widget.

Could be a post-views plugin you’ve added as a separate plugin?

Or if you’re using JetPack or similar element?

You can find the code class for most stuff using the console in Chrome, use the inspector to look at the actual element.

If you need help with changing the blockquote, you should open new topic, or search forum from last 4 years on same issue. As it’s not related to the topic of the bullet points class.

e.g.,

.post blockquote p, .page blockquote p, .td-post-text-content blockquote

Browser caching has nothing to do with theme.

However you can address this site setup issue by looking at the tutorials, such as here:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/

You should use one or the other, not both. At least that’s what I’ve learned for my sites.

They are not the same thing. Tdc does not have all features of vc.

Check f12 for js console errors using chrome. Turn off ad blockers for any testing, obviosly.

Install via ftp if having trouble with your wordpress install.

On the web, everything after the / is case sensitive and should not contain any HTML or high-ascii characters

e.g.,

these are different things on servers:

my-image-name.jpg

smörgåsbord.png


last 2 versions will not work.

File names on web servers should *only* have letters, numbers, dashes or underscores, and only one period for the file type extension.

To support international encoding for image names you may have to adjust the settings for both your server, WordPress, etc.

If you can’t clean the names prior to upload, then you’d need to look online for solutions, as not theme related

How are you using them ? !

You can place any iframe into your post using the text editor mode. Theme may not capture a thumbnail, however.

Featured videos only work with the noted formats as found in the docs.

WordPress creates multiple sizes for anything you upload to the media manager – unrelated to any theme. You can set those sites in the WP theme panel — see WordPress.org for more info on how the base functionality of WordPress handles media uploads for more info.

You *can* hack WP via functions to disable that. I think our solution the past 10 years was to set the WP media default sizes in WP settings to same size as those we upload and to the common ones used in theme to not end up with duplicates. Meaning if all the images we upload are 600×450, then our default medium size was 600×450, and the small size was one of the module sizes for sidebar.

WordPress creates multiple images for mobile — for the “srcset” function, and you can see this if you look at your page source ‘view source’ in your browser, for a post.

If you want zero thumbs/srcset images for images placed further down in posts/pages, you can simply upload those files via FTP to an image folder, and place the actual URL into the post using normal html.

<img src="https://mysite/images/my-photo-700x335.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="335" />

Welcome to WordPress! 🙂

Ha. Long wait, methinks.

Newsmag is ‘responsive’ so what we do is use the normal responsive design for mobile, and also the Automattic AMP plugin for mobile stuff where supported. This made most sense vs having a separate mobile plugin — but that’s me. 🙂

Yeah. We had the issue 4 years ago when we moved from an old 2011 in house theme we’d been using to Newspaper 1.x, and ran into same issue, as all our old posts had the photo placed manually after first paragraph. Exact same problem. The Auto Post PRo thing was only one that worked, and keeps working 4 years later! 🙂 We also use it because we have some child sites for regional news pulling in stuff via RSS from mothership, and so the image in main post gets converted to local featured image to make thumbs — so solved two big problems for us. Which is why I keep recommending it. And I love having the ability to have a generic news image on really old posts with tiny pix from when we all had smaller monitors …

OH! tip: the free ‘thumbnail upscale’ plugin also useful if you have issues of trying to make tiny images larger. Forgot to mention that (doh). Works perfectly with the auto thumbnail PRO plugin.

Welll.. that site is clearly using a WP plugin, so you could be doing so right now, as I noted previously 😉

This is the actual plugin they are using there:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/auto-load-next-post/

Might not help, but I usually do a custom CSS for mine, that way I can control indent, type of bullet point, space between bullet items, etc., and then I can also apply a class to each list like class="myolnoindent" or whatever.

I don’t think Newsmag has a mobile plugin.

If you got Newspaper, it will be in the ‘all files’ zip in /plugins/.

(I dont work here.)

I think there is a free version from the same guy on the wordpress.org repo, but without one or two of the options of the $14. one. You can use it on multiple sites, forever, so cheap enough to solve the major headache.

Most modern WP themes use the ‘featured’ image as the main image.

I use the Auto Post Thumbnail PRO ($14) on all our sites, the past few years. It will basically take all the “first image in post” and make it into the featured image; and if no image can use a default image you upload to the media system in WP.

NOTE: however, that for some of the templates you would then have (2) images — such as a featured image, AND your original image — so what I made the template with no photo as default, then for NEW stories I can use whatever template I want.

Anyway — I can highly recommend this – I use it on 10 sites, and have recommended it many times in this forum for just this reason! 🙂

Probably issue with the ad unit itself.

Does it work if you just put it into a text box as a sidebar widget, then scroll down on the mobile view and see if you have same issue?

Note you can’t have VC and TDC running at same time, most common issue.

For our news sites, not so much — as our tweets lead to our stories, and somebody already on our home page can follow the links ON our home page to the stories, so redundant for us. However, I did this with our ‘blog’ to put the blog tweet feed on front page, and other random thoughts not posted on the site.

Was simple to do using the method I outlined. Your mileage may vary 😉

Best to use dedicated function or plugin/widget since Twitter has changed their API many times, and updating themes just for that element alone might be annoying (personal opinion).
