Thanks, guys! What compression level do you usually drop your photos to before uploading? I’ve been doing 95 because I want my JPG’s crisp, and it doesn’t seem like I’m getting penalized due to the high quality, just due to the fact that they aren’t “fully compressed”…

No, it’s the latest iOS 7.1.2 on iPhone 5. After I touch the slider, the bug goes away…

Thanks, Christopher! On a related note, do you know what happens on the backend when we edit/add CSS in the admin panel? Is it serving the browser a separate CSS file with our modifications or is the theme panel somehow editing the CSS file on the fly when the browser requests it?

@Stefan

Did you try only adding the custom CSS that I had posted here?

That fixed it for me!

Thanks, Christopher. I hadn’t realized that more websites are moving towards this trend.

You’re very thorough! Thanks again for taking the time to write all of that – I learned a lot.

Hi r1kay – You can get the date to show up on the big slider by following Marius’ directions on this post:

https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/date-not-lined-up-in-1-2-and-3-column-sliders-on-retina-displays/

I’m not sure about the unique articles on category pages, hopefully someone can help you with that. Good luck!

Thanks for your thoughts, Christopher. I think I don’t understand you correctly when you say:

we happen to prefer the search only be visible when tapped as this has become very much the norm (e.g., YouTube, Google, et al), as it puts a box where no box is needed unless asked for.

Could you please explain what you were trying to say with this? If you go to google.com and youtube.com, they both have visible search boxes… In fact, I’d really appreciate it if you could point me to a major site that has implemented search in this “two step” fashion. Major outlets such as CNN, HuffPost, and FoxNews all have search boxes located in their headers.

I feel like this feature would help Tagdiv sell more themes, as it seems pretty basic. I’ll still use the theme, but I’m sure you’d agree that it seems silly to force the user to click their mouse on an icon to show a search box if there’s already room to display the search box initially.

Using the built-in search function would take away the AJAX functionality that I love so much from TagDiv, so I will continue to use their implementation of search, but I was just adding in my two cents, which may be paltry when compared to your four cents 🙂

I understand. It would be nice to have the option for desktop though for usability. If we get enough requests on this thread maybe you guys will consider it? 🙂

I think that this would be a great feature to add as an option for the desktop/landscape iPad versions of the site, then go back down to the button for smaller versions of the site.
If we have room in the menu bar, it makes more sense from a usability standpoint to just be able to type in a search box that’s already there rather than clicking a button to open it.

If you want to keep the whole image and not just have a really zoomed in image, then keep td_module_slide_big.php as is, and simply add the following code to your CSS. You can see how it turns out at my testing site: http://www.teabear.com/sandbox/

@media (max-width: 767px) {
  .td_block_slide_big .iosSlider-col-3,
  .td_block_slide_big .iosSlider-col-3 .item {
     min-height: 190px !important;
  }
} 

Hi Maqabyah – Go to “Pages” in your wordpress admin area and edit the page that you have set as the homepage.

Scroll all the way to near the bottom and there is an option called “Show Only Unique Articles on this Template” The default is “Disabled.” Change that to “Enabled” and it should prevent the duplicates.

This is a new feature in Version 3 to prevent duplicate content, so that’s probably why it happened when you upgraded since the default is “Disabled”

Thank you Marius, that worked!

That CSS modification doesn’t seem to have changed anything on non-retina displays, so will you update the theme to have the line-height attribute to 29px in the next update?

Thank you so much for your help! You rock!

I tested it on your site and reproduced it Saijo.

Unfortunately, I think the “Slide Out Menu” option is disabled on the demo site, as I can’t get it to work.

Granted, I’m using an iPhone, so it’s easy to mix up the “Menu swipe” with the “Go Back One Page” swipe, but I tried multiple times on the demo site and can’t get the menu to slide out…
