Sorry Chris, but this is not Envato’s fault. tagdiv is simply not delivering js_composer.zip in the regular WordPress install ZIP (in includes/plugins/) any more. If it was there it could be installed with a single click just like the new td composer.

BTW: The Evato update works well for me since 2 years doing 16 theme updates.

Before, I could easily update the theme and visual composer using Envato Toolkit since you provided an auto-installer. Now, I have to download the complete (!) theme manually from Themeforest and upload ONLY visual composer. This is ridiculous.

@tagDiv: Why is td_block_text_with_title the only block that prints out such a message? It’s of no use! Instead, this block is the only one to add a heading – and only a heading -, which only works if this default message does not appear. Replacing it with   or similar in the body is no option since it adds another paragraph and thus vertical space.

Therefore, please, please, remove this default message!!!

Sorry for highjacking this thread. Actually, this error annoyed me as well and I solved it by modifiying code.

@tagdiv: Since it seems that many people find this annoying and there is no obvious reason for showing this message, do you consider to remove by default with the next update?

Hi Alin,

thanks for your reply and the explanation.

I have another suggestion that you might consider for next version: If there is only 1 article to show in a slider the whole slider code is not needed. So, why don’t you just output the single article? And only if there are more articles the slider code is actually included.

Then, the bug is avoided but the block is working no matter how many articles there are.

Thanks!

It is NOT a bug in WordPress but a feature 🙂 The CSS has to be adapted to this, i.e. the theme. For more, see my other topic https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-definition-for-screen-reader-text-to-default-css/

When reporting this for the first time I already used wp_enqueue_style, but it did not work. Now, I tried it again and investigated further. I figured out that the order of the CSS was not wrong any more. Fortunately, wp_enqueue_style has another parameter to specifcy dependencies. And it seems that it’s enough to make the parent style dependent on the bootstrap style, which is also enqueued by Newspaper’s function.php. So, this code works for me now:

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_parent_theme_style' );
function enqueue_parent_theme_style() {
wp_enqueue_style('parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css', array('td-bootstrap') );
}


Hi again,

ok, after setting up a demo site and comparing them, I figured out that the problem is the child theme.

I configured the child theme as proposed in http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. This page explicitly says: “@import should not be used to import the parent stylesheet into the child theme.” simply because it’s bad for performance.

However, you propose in https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/ to use import – and actually that’s the only way how it seems to work.

Is there any way to create a child theme but avoid @import in the child css?

Hi Emil,

forgot to tell: I ‘ve already tried with all plugins (except Visual Composer) off. Tried it again now -> same result, i.e. it looks the same as above.

Hi Lucian,

your CSS indeed fixes the problem with overlapping logo and ad – thanks! In my opinion I think that the theme (i.e. Newspaper) should already include this…

What’s not fixed is the misaligment of the menu. This is how it looks on your demo page (http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/) in tablet mode:

Compare this to our installation where the menu icon and line underneath starts more to the left.

The settings are included/generated by Newspaper.

So, I guess there is an error there?

Best regards

Hi Lucian,

I know that I can edit the source code of the theme. However, whenever there is a new version of the theme I have to redo the editing…

So, what I’m trying to say: for me the described behaviour looks like an inconsistency in the theme that you might consider to fix in a next version.

Ok, if the reason for showing the author in module 1 is that it “contains the post content”, then “module search” should not display it since it shows only excerpts similar to all other modules. No?
