Hi,

The thumbnails will be created automatically by the theme, from the featured images set for the posts. It would be best to use featured images, or videos for posts
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
If there is no featured image the theme will display a default placeholder thumbnail
– https://www.screencast.com/t/PcjysWoL
Those placeholder thumbnails are found in the theme folder here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/f2EZf71a
You could replace them with the images you want and the theme will use those, just make sure they are of the same size and have the same name and format like the default ones.

Thanks

Hi,

Please provide a link to your website if possible, so we can investigate the issue you describe.

Thanks

Hi,

You could leave a main parent category, and create sub-categories for it. So you can have a parent category “News” and sub-categories with the countries required

Hi,

The warnings seem to be related to the divi builder plugin and a child theme configurator plugin. These plugins seem to be causing the warnings. Try as a test to deactivate them and check if the errors are still present.
The mobile theme can be affected by other plugins. If you require these plugins, maybe you should deactivate the optional mobile plugin, and simply use the automatic responsiveness of the main theme.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes the latest version is 8.1, there is a changelog here
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
There is also a list of required and optional plugins here for example
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
I have tested the background gradient of the mobile menu background, it seems to work fine
– https://www.screencast.com/t/f3Ot76Man4
– https://www.screencast.com/t/c656l5iJ0J
Please note that of the mobile theme plugin is active, this has it’s own background settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zglgS1ULYs
Other than that, most likely it is caching if the changes are not applying.

Thanks

Hi,

I have inspected your website, this is how the menu bar displays for me when browsing
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EQHGH2pNqkq4
The black flashes are not present at the moment from what I can tell, or maybe I simply do not see them. Please correct me if I misunderstand something.

Thanks

Hi,

The same menu structure from desktop will be kept on mobile, when the mobile theme plugin is not activated. So the More menu item containing the links will be the same on desktop and mobile. The actual menu structure cannot be modified simply by displaying the page on a mobile device.
The only option to have a different menu on mobile is the mobile theme.

Thanks

Hi,

The tagDiv composer is fully tested and compatible with the theme. It is created specifically for the theme and it should work properly in all cases. But other factors may interfere with the functionality.
Basically these are the theme requiremenets
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Along with these server and WordPress parameter configuration
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
A recommendation would be to reinstall the theme by FTP
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Use only theme plugins, deactivate and delete them and reinstall them from the theme package. Do not make any modifications to the theme files, check any custom code you might be using. If you use a child theme switch to the main theme.
Then check if everything works properly, let us know the results.

Thanks

Hi,

1. You can use a redirect plugin for simple redirects, through code this may not be easy to do. Redirect that link to the the one you want
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/
The Load more pagination is available only for blocks. The article lists loop like the one on the author page use numeric pagination only. This cannot be changed.

2/4 You can use any text editor to edit the file. This modification can be made directly to the theme file, or through a child theme if you use one. You will have to probably access the theme folder an files by FTP, in order to modify the file

Hi,

Minification plugins can cause issue for all themes. Either by incompatibility or configuration. If that plugin is causing problems, it would be best not to use it. There are other ways of optimizing the website. You can search here on the forum for more information, there are many tutorials in this matter. Some examples
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/

Thanks

Hi,

You could search for a javascript widget plugin, or text widget plugin that might support more advanced code. You can enter the code in that, and place it in the sidebar you want.

Thanks

Hi,

Please check as suggested the theme system status and the server and WordPress parameters
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Sufficient PHP memory and the other parameters are imperative for the proper functionality of the theme and plugins.
The next step if the above suggestion does not resolve the issue, is to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins, and clear all caching. Then create a new page and check if the composer works properly. Let us know the results.
The composer is tested and works fully with the theme, but other factors can cause problems.

Thanks

Hi,

It would be helpful if you could provide a link to your website or some details, for a more accurate solution. I could give you a code to reduce the padding between menu items (the default is 14px)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1Zb6M9d7Uzcg

.td-header-main-menu .sf-menu>li>a {
padding: 0 12px;
}

You can enter this code in Theme panel->Custom CSS section.
Or maybe you could stretch the header menu to create more space, if there are many items in it

Hi,

I found these useful guides about what to do in this cases

Hi,

Please check the theme system status and make modifications to the server and WordPress parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could ask your hosting provider to make them for you if needed. Insufficient PHP memory and the other parameters have a decisive role in the functionality of the theme and plugins.

Thanks

Hi,

That is a block 3, this block uses module 1. Make the modifications to the posts title for module 1
– https://www.screencast.com/t/lBQSJCcDymI
This is a list of the blocks and which modules are used, depending on the layout
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
Blocks can use different modules when set on one column, two columns or three columns.

Hi,

The Recipes demo has an example of a simple recipe format
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_recipes/td-post-frozen-blood-and-sand-cocktail/
That could be recreated in any post, if you wish so. It is simply HTML structure and corresponding CSS from the recipes demo. This is a similar topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-setting-up-post-with-demo-template-recpes/
You could create other designs, or modify this example as you like.
There are recipe plugins I believe, that you can use to create and style recipes.

Thanks

Hi,

The Yoast SEO plugin should not cause issue like this. This plugin is recommended to be used with the theme.
Please try to install the mobile theme plugin provided in the topic above, and also install the Yoast SEO plugin. Clear any installed cache and check to see if it works properly.

Thanks

Hi,

At the moment there are no ads present below the footer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/6SfrqWegfdI
The theme does not display ads below the footer, there is only a footer top option. Maybe you entered the ad code in the theme files directly if they are appearing there.

Thanks

Hi,

Please check the theme system status and make modifications to the server and WordPress parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could ask your hosting provider to make them for you if needed. Insufficient PHP memory and other of these parameters have a decisive role in the functionality of the theme and plugins.
After making these changes check if the composer works as intended.

Thanks

Hi,

If you still have the white page issue, please check the theme system status and see if these server and WordPress parameters are set according to the guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Insufficient PHP memory and the other parameters have a decisive role in the functionality of the theme and plugins.
Furthermore you can try to deactivate all plugins installed except theme plugins, to see if this is caused by a plugin.
Let us know if there is still a problem after checking and trying these suggestions.

Thanks

Hi,

I forgot to mention, the code needs to be entered in Theme panel->Custom CSS section
– https://www.screencast.com/t/m9lnAAnq

Hi,

Something is not functioning properly regarding the pagination. All pagination links seems to return this page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qFJRfOl2x3Qn
A first step would be to deactivate all plugins except theme plugins, and clear any caching installed if you have any. Then check if the issue is still present. If you use a child theme switch to the main theme, to test if this has any effect. Remove custom code or modifications made top the theme or WordPress files.
As a last step, you could try a theme reinstall by FTP, and use only theme plugins
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Please let us know the results.

Thanks

Hi,

That is happening because of a margin from the demo you are using, for the top row containing the slider. There are two ways how this can be fixed.
Either remove that margin in the demo stylesheet
– https://www.screencast.com/t/F23w24Dteco
Or enter this code in Theme panel->Custom CSS section
– https://www.screencast.com/t/QDGJd30Wz

.td-politics .td-slider-row {
margin-top: 0;
}

This modification will affect the desktop version as well. Before removing the code or adding the custom code
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TXLmE6w2G3X
And after making the modification
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2Zwc2ZI0jhpD
If you want the desktop version to remain the same, do not modify the demo stylesheet. Simply enter the code provided in the Theme panel->Advanced CSS in the phones section, so it will apply only on mobile devices.
Let me know if you have any further questions or need further help.

Thanks

Hi,

After inspecting your website, it seems there is a code that interferes with the module meta that is displayed
– https://www.screencast.com/t/xRBpHvPYoLj
Without that code the meta would display properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1EjQiR0z11
But I believe that code is entered and supposed to affect only the post modified date
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XDusRB8Tqaur
So it could be changed to something like this to not affect anything else on the page

.td-post-title .td-module-meta-info {
display: inline-flex;
}

The modified date will remain as it is supposed to be, and the module will not be affected by the code
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ZcagCdyEoB
Please remove the previous code from the theme panel and enter this one, or modify it as shown.

Thanks
