Hi,

Page speed optimization has to be done by you, this depends of many factors. There are many tutorials here on the forum on this matter, that you can follow. Some examples
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/score-100100-pagespeed-with-newspaper-wordpress-theme/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newspaper-theme-speedify-your-website/
You can install this caching plugin with the recommended configuration
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
You can use Cloudflare to speed your website
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
There is also this guide to further optimize loading speed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
When testing teh pagespeed, it is better to do it without having google ads and only essential plugins activated. Some plugins can have a negative impact regarding page speed.

Thanks

Hi,

Try opening your homepage in Visual composer and check if the elements are present in the page structure and are set properly. Also check in the Visual composer settings if all the elements are enabled
– https://www.screencast.com/t/yeQZb3bXHmM
Try creating a new page and see if everything works properly using Visual composer. Maybe you have customized your blocks and other elements and by updating Visual composer those settings were lost, or need looking over.
If you could provide a link to your website, we will inspect it.

Thanks

Hi,

Please do not post sensitive login information here on the forum, this is a public topic for everyone to see. I have edited your post, and removed them. As a solution to your problem, please enter this code in Theme panel->Custom Css
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Zyu5OSOJ
It should make the image more responsive, and display better on mobile devices.

.td-pb-span12 .vc_single_image a {
background-size: contain;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Thanks

Hi,

The images need to be cropped, in order for them to display with good results. The theme uses the following cropping system, it is considered to be the best method in most cases
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
Depending on the blocks elements that you use and the image, the results may not be the same in all cases
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
When you upload a featured image, the theme will create the necessary thumbnails automatically
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Each module is different in regards of thumbnail size required. Here you can see how all the blocks and grids look in different layouts
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
There is no option by default in the theme to change the way the cropping implementation works. It could only be done by modifications to the theme files
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-thumbnail-introduction/
It is worth mentioning that these modifications will have to be made to the main theme files, it cannot be done through a child theme.

Thanks

Hi,

If that plugin is not compatible with the theme and causing problems, you could search for another one and try it. The plugin you are using may have not been updated for a period of time, and that could be the reason why it is not working properly.
If the thumbnails are not displaying properly on the blocks and grids, you can try to regenerate them, with this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
If the needed thumbnails are enabled in the theme panel, they will be recreated by the regeneration process
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/

Thanks

Hi,

Try changing the default breadcrumb text in this file from the theme
– https://www.screencast.com/t/5V2JjlILhPO
It should work properly if you change it there
– https://www.screencast.com/t/b4nn88PQ
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1koa05gK2fqT

Thanks

Hi,

The author name can be disable in general for all the blocks and grids
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DzTB9fWAI
If you would like to hide it just for that specific big grid, you can use a code like this for example. It will remove the author name just for the grid in question
– https://www.screencast.com/t/7ocWvIT2
The code must be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css

.td_module_mx21 .td-post-author-name {
display: none;
}

Please note that them theme is fully responsive and there should be no problems for mobile devices. The theme package even includes the optional mobile theme plugin. More about the mobile theme here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/

Thanks

Hi,

I have tried the single image element. I inserted an image in the single image element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/EzDKYTCiISpY
Saved the page and tested on mobile with this result
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Y6exAFV2mx9
As it can be seen the image is displayed properly. I did not modify anything, simply added the single image and saved the page. Please provide a link to your website so we can inspect the issue.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for misunderstanding. On the new website the modal image is working as it should from what I can see
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SdNs4hdsOo
Glad you could solve the issue you were having.

Thanks

Hi,

If you mean those thumb icons on the side of the page, I don’t know where they are coming from. Maybe you have installed a plugin and that is placing them there. If that is the case, maybe you can configure the plugin settings to display them like you want.
For the social icons you can try this code to center them, they will look like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/FzE3nRnYt
Enter the code in Theme panel->Custom Css

.td-social-style9 .td_social_type {
width: 33.3333%;
}

Thanks

Hi,

I cannot promise anything. I believe nothing like this is planed to be addressed any time soon. There are other priorities at the moment. These scripts are loaded for a reason, to insure the functionality of the theme. If this plugin conflicts with the theme and you cannot use it properly, I am sure there are other plugins that you can use.

Thanks

Hi,

I do not see that post in that Popular articles block, in which you have the filtered categories. Category 9 is the Jobs category, I have checked a number of posts displayed on the block, and I found none from that category. The blocks seems to be working well, the posts are filtered and displayed based on views
– https://www.screencast.com/t/7d420RQrh

Thanks

Hi,

The background image is always the same. It should cover the whole page, depending on the image used and background settings. This margin that you removed does not affect the background, only the page content.
Removing the margin on the demo looks like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/BL1cbZdBvO1
Please provide a link to your website so we can inspect it and see the issue.

Thanks

Hi,

Not all elements are designed the same. You can see here how the Big Grid Full 3 is supposed to display
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-3/
If you would like to reduce that space, you could try a code like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1fNA85aeFi
The code needs to be entered in Theme panel->Custom Css

@media (min-width: 1018px) {
.td_block_big_grid_fl_3.td-big-grids-fl.td-big-grids-margin
.td-big-grid-post {
border-width: 0 3px;
}}

Thanks

Hi,

You just need to follow the suggestions from those topics and it should work properly. For example the code provided by Alin. You can use that to replace the default author code in the post template file you want
– https://www.screencast.com/t/uhvfC4hNoUa
I have tried it using post template style 1 and a child theme
– https://www.screencast.com/t/7f5aVQ3v1kX
The result is like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/5Nkuzp0aSGR
For some alignment I used a code like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/axaKRfyyI
The modification to the post template files can be made in the child theme. The template file that you want to modify simply needs to be copied in the child theme folder (other files may need a similar folder structure as in the main theme).
More information about the child theme here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Thanks

Hi,

There were some modifications made to the theme activation. Try to activate the theme manually
– https://www.screencast.com/t/y9OSLcsc
– https://www.screencast.com/t/AEKaTQM0
Please let us know if you still cannot activate the theme.

Thanks

Hi,

That is not an error. When you use a page builder you have to add sidebars to the page using a Widget sidebar element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/jqQjPZKOyfU
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Dhbv5llqs47b
And choose from your available created sidebars, that you can customize in the widgets section. A sidebar can be created in many ways
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Or you could simply split the row and directly insert content in the page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KaeR9hr8A0T
If you are using the Latest articles page template, you can use another sidebar for that section
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/

Thanks

Hi,

1. You can split the row in a maximum of three columns, just like with the Visual composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/lqvptr7fl9h
Then you can place the elements you want in these columns. Please note that depending on the row settings, blocks may look different. Here you can see how blocks look in all situations
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-16/
The blocks use different modules based on the layout chosen
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-blocks-modules/
There is no activation or subscription needed if you choose to use Visual composer. Just install it and use it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please consider that in future updates more features and options will be added to the tagDiv composer exclusively
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/

2. At the moment there is no options to add a page template. There are three page templates available
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/

Thanks

Hi,

Maybe you mean the More articles box that appears on the post page. That can be disabled in the theme panel. More information here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/more-articles-box/

Thanks

Hi,

You can try setting a condition in the loop file found in the main theme folder
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dNrjwL3gU
Use the suggested search for more useful information and examples
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ve84jQAtupp
There you can create a condition to display the ad in the post loop.

Thanks

Hi,

Please note that the Visual composer plugin did not receive any updates since the date you mention, until today
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Io5HIcFyC
Only when the plugin receives an update from the plugin developers, we can begin to make the proper testing and include it in the next theme update.
You could consider using the newly introduced tagDiv composer, future updates will include more features exclusively for this front-end editor
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
The theme discounts are added for all the users at once when available, as Envato manages sales and we cannot make any personal offers, sorry.

Thanks

Hi,

I have tried the text element that you mention and it is working properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2LtzTMAPgNS1
It should work as intended for you as well. Please check the theme system status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Then try the text with title element again.

Thanks

Hi,

You can choose from Header styles 9, 10 or 11 if you want to display bigger logos. These header styles do not have a limit for the header logo
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/logo-favicon/

Thanks

Hi,

Inserting ads in the loop is not currently supported by the theme. There are no theme options to implement ads like that. This may change in future updates, but I cannot say for sure when it will happen.
The easiest way to try these ads would be through a plugin that has these capabilities.

Thanks

Hi,

You need to stretch the row containing the Full Big grid, like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/uMPEuiBx7
Then the Full grid will display the way you want.

Thanks
