Hi,

I don’t quite understand the problem you are having. Some more details would be helpful, how can I see the problem exactly? Let us know.

Thanks

Yes. The WPBakery plugin is not a required plugin. The theme will work perfectly fine without it. Only if you want to use WPBakery, then you can install it and use it.

Elapse let me know if you have more questions.

Hi,

That is expected to happen, if the grid is set to display latest posts it will display the latest posts. So the posts in the grid will also appear in the latest articles section below the grid.
If you want to use this sorting method, please use the option that allows you to set an offset a number of posts for the latest articles – http://prntscr.com/oh6lc8

So for example if the top grid displays 3 latest posts, an offset of 3 will mean that the latest articles will not show the first 3 posts.

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

Glad you can now achieve the desired results, using a child theme. We will try to improve the child theme capabilities in the future, where possible. Also if there will be future modifications to the theme structure, we will try to not let this affect the child theme functionality.

Regarding the widgets, please check in the inactive section – http://prntscr.com/oh6ez9
They could be moved there after a theme update, or when switching themes. They will remain configured, all that remains is to place them in their sidebars.

Thanks

Hi,

Looks like WPBakery has released another update, that would be the second one this week. At the time of creating the update package for the theme the latest WPBakery was 6.0.4, which we included in it.

We don’t recommend to update to 6.0.5 in this case, before we first test this version and include it with the theme.
There was an issue with 6.0.3, we fixed it and we were ready to add it to the theme package, and then WPBakery released 6.0.4 and there was no need for a fix as everything works fine with it.

Let me know if you have more questions, or if there are issues with the theme after the latest update.

Thanks

Hi,

Currently it works only with Soundcloud, there may be improvements made to this option over future updates. I can’t say at this moment what will happen exactly, remains to be seen.

Thanks

Please try and copy the loop-single and single files from the composer
– http://prntscr.com/oh60aw
Paste them in the child theme main folder – http://prntscr.com/oh61r6
In the single file you copied make the modification provided above. Then check if the default post template applies properly.

Please let me know. There is indeed an issue in that specific case, meaning post set to inherit the default post template from the theme panel. This suggestion should solve it.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your appreciation. I will try to help with the issues you are having.

In the homepage I see there are lots of mixed content issues, I believe you are in the process of installing the SSL certificate so that should solve itself when it is finished.

The wordpress recent posts widget doesn’t show an image as far as I know. It displays the post title and the date if enabled – http://prntscr.com/oh5ona
You could however use a theme block instead of that widget, and call it recent posts. Sort it by latest so that it shows the freshest posts – http://prntscr.com/oh4olg
– http://prntscr.com/oh4ooy

In the footer currently I see that a footer page is set. The theme provides predefined footer templates but it can also display a footer page in the footer location
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
If you want to customize the footer page, there is an option in the theme panel
– http://prntscr.com/oh5qo4

Note that some demos when installed will load a custom stylesheet, containing various CSS customization. The journal demo will set a background color for the website
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_journal/
This will override the theme panel background color it seems, I will make a note of it and we will find a different solution for this demo customization. For the time being you could remove the background color from the demo here – http://prntscr.com/oh5z27 Then the theme panel color will apply. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

I see the problem, I could provide a CSS code for it, simply enter it in the theme panel custom code section – http://prntscr.com/oh5jw6

.td_module_11 .td-read-more,
.widget_text p {
font-family: Marcellus;
}

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

The mobile theme page content cannot be created with the composer, if you want the content from desktop (created with the composer) to be displayed on mobile, deactivate the plugin.

The mobile theme is created to be fast on phones, it can’t display composer content and uses predefined templates.

After the latest theme update, the mobile theme can be disabled per page/post. So for example if you want a page to not use the mobile theme, it can be done in the page edit screen – http://prntscr.com/oh5gvm
This has been a much requested feature, it is now available. Also there have been some other improvements to the mobile theme in this update. Changelog can be seen at the bottom of this page – https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609

Thanks

I don’t quite understand what you are trying to do unfortunately. Blocks display posts regardless of what templates the posts use, according to their filtering. Posts that appear in a block can’t be filtered by post templates if that is what you want to do. Let me know.

Hi,

A tagDiv gallery such as this one can be added in a page
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-aston-villa-beat-liverpool-to-join-arsenal-in-the-fa-cup-final/

Please try as suggested in this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/migration-visual-composer-to-tagdiv-composer-2/

Or you can add multiple inline single image elements, these have the modal option
– http://prntscr.com/oh568b

Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

You can test with the Google structured data tool to see how Google sees the post
– https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/
The theme already provides the necessary date published and date updated structured data for posts, the format being based on the timezone used in the WordPress general settings.

Using cloud templates for posts, a modified date can be displayed in the post page, there is an element created specifically for this – http://prntscr.com/oh4yce

But if you have added another updated date I can’t say what Google will choose to display.

Thanks

Hi,

So you are using header style 1. That is the one the live theme demo uses
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
There are some margins there, without those it wouldn’t look good
– http://prntscr.com/oh4qju
But I could reduce the margins top and bottom to half – http://prntscr.com/oh4rl8

.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-recs {
margin: 14px 0 9px;
}
.td-header-style-1 .td-header-sp-logo {
margin: 14px 28px 9px;
}

The code can be entered in the theme panel custom CSS section. Please let me know if you have more questions.

Or you could build your own header with the header builder and the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
There are cloud headers built by us that you can import and modify if needed
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
These headers can be created/modified in the composer. If you want to build one from scratch, use the blank header template.

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

The wordpress recent posts widget should display only the article title and date (if date is enabled) – http://prntscr.com/oh4lrl – http://prntscr.com/oh4lxw
So there should be no author there, and the date can be disabled in the widget settings. This widget can’t display the featured image of the post.

You could however use a theme block instead of that widget, and call it recent posts. Sort it by latest so that it shows the freshest posts – http://prntscr.com/oh4olg
– http://prntscr.com/oh4ooy

Please let me know if you have more questions, or if I misunderstood what you want to do.

Thanks

Hi,

@Voogia Changes it how exactly? We are making tests with the plugin to try and provide a better compatibility between it and the theme.

In some cases I have seen before, there could be issues if comments are enabled for pages in the theme panel, please try to disable them if possible – http://prntscr.com/oh4ghx
Also there could be a problem if you disable the comments for specific posts.

Thanks

1. Out of those websites looks like only http://www.theepochtimes.com uses WordPress, I could be wrong however.
But I am sure that all the elements in the header menu are categories, for example
– https://www.theepochtimes.com/c-us-politics – http://prntscr.com/ogohc9
This would be the post commonly used and easy to manage method.

2. A page can contain any element available in the composer, and display the posts you want. You can use blocks and grids to display the posts you want. Each block can be filtered, so for example in one block you can display posts from a “politics” category, in another one posts from a “lifestyle” category.
These categories will also have a category page, where only the posts from them will be displayed automatically. So for example in the “politics” category page only posts have this as a category will appear, same as on the website I checked above.
In a page any post can be displayed, this depends on what content you want to filter by manually. Here is a block settings guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

3.

A. You can create pages and not use the category pages. But you will have to create them and build them, filter the elements in them to only display posts from respective categories.

B. On the other hand category pages are already available by default, can have templates set and there are settings for them.

Both methods will work, but the easiest would be the B variant. There are less actual benefits from using the A variant. But you can choose either.

Hi,

Please see this topic – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cant-change-site-wide-post-template/
I believe what is mentioned there applies for this case as well.

Thanks

Hi,

Should work fine. I have tested this as well. Please note that there are 2 default post templates, the one that is used when the composer is inactive (can be considered a default post template), and one that is used when the composer is active and can be selected for posts.

I believe you have copied in the child theme, the loop single and single files from the theme – http://prntscr.com/ognr3o
Note that this template is used when the composer is inactive. When the composer is inactive a sidebar cannot be set for posts because there will be no post settings available, so the template is not supposed to display a sidebar since it cannot be set.

If you want to customize the default post template with the composer active, please copy it from the composer/legacy/Newspaper folder
– http://prntscr.com/ogo2la
And make a small modification in the single.php file after you copy in the child theme
– http://prntscr.com/ogo38l
Here is the modified code if needed – https://pastebin.com/uaZqtWjM

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

With the predefined post templates it will indeed display just the image. With cloud post templates using the single post featured image element the audio will be shown, has a few settings as well – http://prntscr.com/ogn3xx – http://prntscr.com/ogn46i

In flex blocks or loops there is a player, it can be customized or turned off in the element settings – http://prntscr.com/ognaev

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

What header style are you using? Looks like style 10. There is indeed a minimum height set for it, as design I believe. You could try the solution from this topic to reduce it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/header-hight/

Please let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

The update has been released. Please use the child theme provided in the 9.7.4 update and it should work fine – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

The post templates that you want to modify can now be copied in the child theme from the composer.
The single files are here in the composer – http://prntscr.com/ogmumy
They can be copied in the child theme (create the same directory path to them)
– http://prntscr.com/ogmvii

As a note, if for example you want to modify post template 2, copy both the single_template_2.php adn the loop-single-2.php in the child theme.

Unfortunately we can’t provide support over the phone, only be forum or email. Let me know if you have more questions and sorry again for the inconvenience.

Hi,

With such an old theme version there could be problems. Are you using Yoast? This plugin provides an option to display a summary with image when sharing
– http://prntscr.com/ogmsg9
Their documentation is here – https://kb.yoast.com/kb/setting-up-twitter-cards-in-wordpress-seo/
Also here – https://yoast.com/twitter-cards/
And a validator here – https://kb.yoast.com/kb/twitter-sharing-not-working/

It should work fine if set correctly.
Thanks

Hi,

So that is like a sidebar set for posts? Or where does it appear exactly? Maybe the respective plugin has a setting to enable/disable it’s sidebars, you could check their documentation or check with the plugin author.
If I misunderstand let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

There is a guide you can follow to configure the weather widget
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/weather-widget/
All the widget requires is an API key that can be obtained as mentioned in the guide, and a location – https://openweathermap.org/find
Then it should work fine, for example – http://prntscr.com/ogmjos

Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks
