So flex blocks are not an option? They have settings for the images, you could load a bigger thumbnail and use the width/height and position settings
– http://prntscr.com/nrc77u

Modifying the cropping method would require that you edit the tagDiv composer files (after update 9.7)
The thumbnails are defined here – http://prntscr.com/nrc4yp
Then the future thumbnails will use the new cropping. The existing thumbnails will have to be regenerated, you can use the plugin mentioned here for example
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/

But I should note that modifications to the plugins will be lost after the theme and plugins are updated.

Hi,

That would be the page top padding. There are a few ways of removing, the easiest is to add this code in the theme panel custom CSS section

.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 0;
}

Thanks

Hi,

All the theme modules have a specific thumbnail size that they will use, including the module used for the mega-menu
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
The theme will always crop the images, they will be cropped center top
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/

Maybe you can consider using a cloud header template
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Headers
Using a cloud header there are options for the mega-menu for the images, so you can load a bigger thumbnail and adjust it – http://prntscr.com/nrabgc – http://prntscr.com/nrab81

In pages you can use flex blocks and flex grids, these have the same options for the images, so you can adjust them there as well if needed. As opposed to predefined blocks the flex blocks have many settings in terms of layout, we created some designs here (these can be imported with the cloud library plugin) – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks

As a note, please don’t bump the post. This will only refresh the topic date and move it to the back of the line. We reply from oldest to newest at all times.

I don’t know at the moment unfortunately, remains to be seen if such elements will be created and added to the composer. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

Shows up alright for me on Chrome, same as before – http://prntscr.com/nr9vfg What if you clear the browser cache or force refresh the page in the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R)? Or if you check with a different computer?
I checked with different PCs with Chrome, the image ad appears at all times, could be something wrong with your browser.

Hi,

I still don’t see any ads in the website, I checked with Chrome and Firefox, from different PCs. It could be something general, the theme will simply load the ads in the desired positions, so if they are served by Google they will appear. Try it as I am trying it, without being logged in. Try clearing the cache as well.

I do see this in the console – http://prntscr.com/nr9oj8 You could try what is suggested in this topic – https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53281784/google-ad-was-preloaded-using-link-preload-but-not-used-within-a-few-seconds-fro
– https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1208336

I believe you are referring to widget sidebars, there is indeed a Newspaper default sidebar created by the theme – http://prntscr.com/nr9c0g

You can create as many widget sidebars as you need, they can be created from a few places
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/

If I still misunderstand, please correct me.

Hi,

There must be some instructions or documentation provided by them, as to how the ads can be implemented. Maybe there are requirements before the ads are displayed, or the code has to be entered in a specific place.
Please check the instructions provided with the code and if you need help let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

The loop files are now in the composer plugin, as in the screenshot from above. You could edit the ones you want and enter the code there, but I should note that when the theme and plugins are updated the code would have to be entered again.
An exception is the default post template which remained in the theme and can still be edited in a child theme
– http://prntscr.com/nr8qm4

Instead of this maybe try using a cloud post template. Enter the plugin shortcode directly in the template while editing with the composer.
If you use the ratings plugin try t like here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-edit-post-template-in-version-9-7-1/

Using default predefined post templates and category templates, the smart sidebar (when the setting is enabled in the theme panel) will apply to both.

If you don’t want a sticky sidebar in category pages, you could use a cloud category template, here are some examples – https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Category
A cloud category template can be imported (and modified if needed) or designed from blank.

In a cloud templates or pages you can choose if you want a sticky column or not
– http://prntscr.com/nr8k3m
So regardless of the general smart sidebar option being active, you can configure the template sidebar column to not be sticky.

Hi,

So only in posts? You could use a cloud post template, and place an ad box element in the position you want (also stretch the row containing it if needed)
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Single
Then apply that cloud post template to the posts. This would be a solution to display larger ads.

Thanks

Hi,

Only WPBakery has such options, using single images for example. Our composer doesn’t have effects for images such as the ones you mention, at the moment.

Thanks

Replied in your other topic, if you want we can take a closer look at these issues. Send us an email as mentioned and include a link to both the topics in the email. Let us know.

For me 4 buttons in 4 columns on portrait looks like this – http://prntscr.com/nqynht
Maybe it is happening in specific situations.

So these appear only in the server error log and there aren’t any actual issues? What theme version are you using, and what WordPress version?

They all seem to have happened on the 17th and are related to the smart list file. Did you maybe created and posted a post containing a smart list by that time? provide a link to it if that is the case.

Hi,

The theme now has a last modified date for posts, if you use cloud post templates
– http://prntscr.com/nqygjo
The default publish date element should be removed, and the modified date entered in the post template. Google should pick this up eventually.

Thanks

Hi,

That is possible, simply reset the license from the old theme, then activate it in the new website, the option is here – https://www.screencast.com/t/cIwUz69yd2Hg

Thanks

Hi,

From what I can find online for some users deleting the default wordpress themes worked
– https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-site-is-experiencing-technical-difficulties/

Also the theme requirements should be checked as well, there is a guide here
– https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/

If the problem remains, we could take a closer look at it. Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, also cPanel or FTP if possible. Include a link to this topic in the email. Let us know.

Thanks

Hi,

Which ad are you referring to? I see an ad in the header – http://prntscr.com/nqy5mh the others are the default demo ads. Let me know.

An issue I observed is that some of the images seem to not load
– http://prntscr.com/nqy69w
This could be a lazyload issue, I see you use the Jetpack lazyload. Note that the theme also has a lazyload feature, so having both active could result in problems. Try disabling either the Jetpack lazyload or the theme lazyload – http://prntscr.com/nqy7k6

Thanks

Hi,

PHP code may not work in the raw HTML element, in the files it should work. But cloud templates don’t have PHP files unfortunately, like default templates do.

If that plugin would provide a shortcode, then you could enter that shortcode in the template itself, in a column text element. That element supports shortcodes, so this would be a solution, if the plugin allows it.

Thanks

Hi,

@nervusvagus So it does not work in Chrome and works in Edge or other browsers? What if you clear the Chrome browser cache, does it work then? let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

For me it looks alright, I browsed it for a while. I made a quick video
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ayG7LWY0
How should I check exactly? Let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

What kind of ads are you using? I have checked the website, for me no ads are loading at the moment, no header ad and no sidebar ads – http://prntscr.com/nqxfnv – http://prntscr.com/nqxftz
If you use normal Adsense ads and the codes are entered in the theme panel or ad boxes, they should load accordingly. But only if the Adsense account is approved
– https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1722120

You could check if the account is approved as a first step. Also try their troubleshooter
– https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/7049023

Thanks

Hi,

So you mean the h2 headings that you enter in the post content? You could use the WordPress color settings for that – http://prntscr.com/nqx4hr
But if you already have many posts for which you want to do this, then it would be better with CSS, opposed to manually editing all of them.

Something like this should work – http://prntscr.com/nqx67r

.td-post-content h2 {
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}

The code can be entered in the theme panel custom CSS section, it will apply to all the h2 headings in the post content.

If I misunderstand or you have more questions let me know.
Thanks

Hi,

By a theme setting that is not possible, the thumbnail sizes and cropping method are predefined.
If it is a block you are referring to, then you could use a flex block, these have width and height settings for the thumbnail
– http://prntscr.com/nqww0f
Maybe you can get the result you want with a flex block.

Be sure to check out some block examples made by us using flex blocks
– https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Blocks
These can be imported with the cloud library plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/

Let me know if you have more questions.
Thanks

Hi,

That is the social counter – https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-plugin/ it comes configured with demo data, but you can configure it to direct to your desired social pages.

You can customize every instance of the social counter element. It can be directly placed while editing with tagDiv composer – http://prntscr.com/nqwozl in this case you can edit the page with the composer and configure it.
Or as a widget in sidebars – http://prntscr.com/nqwpdy in this case you can configure it in Appearance->Widgets in the sidebar where it is placed.

If you have more questions let us know.
Thanks
