Hi guys,

This theme uses Visual Composer which has been recently updated to fix a security issue. Any plans to update the plugin from your side since we can’t get updates from CodeCanyon?

Is there a faster way to get Visual Composer updates by any chance? Thanks so much for the help

I understand. I don’t blame you :) I tried to get the update from the guy who developed it but was told we have to wait, so I just deleted PrettyPhoto for now :)

Just out of curiosity, is there anyway to get the theme working with Visual Composer? I love your work but I don’t want to be dependent on third-party plugin developers.

Thanks for responding so quickly :)

Hi,

Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation and i’ll provide the latest version. We’re testing it and if everything goes fine the update will be released today.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, Is there a way i can get all the setting for the “loop” page layout?

Thanks, Jonny

Hi,

Homepage – loop is built like this – http://screencast.com/t/1ur2enju9Whttp://screencast.com/t/mVsyt42RFJrihttp://pastebin.com/R2eLF0mH

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. Here is my code: [removed]

Im actually using a different set-up now and have that sorted but now my problem is with the “gallery” function.

Could you let me know what is wrong with mine, the sliding gallery isn’t displaying properly.

The URL us: http://thebrizzle.com/td_d_slug_41/ Thanks, Jonny

Hi,

Please don’t post private data here, it’s a public section. Send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation and provide wp-admin access so i can take a look.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,

I found a problem with Smart Lists. When you use Smart Lists in combination with the nextpage feature <!-nextpage->, the numbering is reset on every new page.

For example, if I have:

Item 01 Item 02 Item 03 Item 04 Item 05 <!-nextpage-> Item 06 Item 07 Item 08 Item 09 Item 10

Then, page 01 will give me:

Item 01 Item 02 Item 03 Item 04 Item 05

But page 02 will still give me:

Item 01 Item 02 Item 03 Item 04 Item 05

Whereas it should actually give me:

Item 06 Item 07 Item 08 Item 09 Item 10

Is there any way you could fix this in the next update?

This would ok if we could manually set the numbering, but that is not possible at the moment it seems…

Hi,

Unfortunately the Smart Lists cannot be used with post pagination, you have to use one or the other, sorry. We’ll look into it but it’s a complicated issue, if we’ll find a solution we will fix it.

Thank you, Emil G.

Ok. :) I decided to create a list without using the Smart List feature instead.

Is there a way to make sorting over 3 days such as 30?

Hi,

It requires modifications on the code and they are not easy to make. My advice is to look for a developer to help you modify this section as you like. If you don’t know one you could look on places like http://studio.envato.com/ – We would have gladly made it for you but for the moment we cannot offer custom work, sorry for this.

Thank you, Emil G.

I am having problems with the 7 days. It doesnt give the popular from the past 7 days… it shows 3 different ones. Website is acutegaming.net

Hi,

Make sure you enable the post views – http://screencast.com/t/bav7nAjG – and the 7 Days – http://screencast.com/t/qgY4A2Dw

If you use a cache plugin disable it, this feature doesn’t work properly when a cache plugin is installed. We plan to fix this in a future update, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you, Emil G.

Now that NewsPaper theme has been updated, when should we expect for this theme to be updated? (I own both themes and the NewsPaper theme looks so tempting to change this theme).

Hi,

We’re working on the next update, we will gradually add new features on Newsmag too in the next updates.

Thank you, Emil G.

Pitty we could no use the unique post option on the homepage, so it grabs the posts from the News Ticker and it hides valuable stuff from the main view. Is there any trick to avoid this? Thanks.

Have you changed the unique articles option to remove trending module from the homepage loop on v2.0? Thanks.

Hi, Yes, is fixed in version 2.

Hi, Is there any way to make revolution slider only visible on mobile devices?

Hi,

You could hide it using custom css (display: none). If you don’t know how to doit please provide the url on which the Slider is set to appear.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello, apologize for my stupid question. I want to change font on header in theme panel/custom font. I have chosen font.woff and I don’t know how I can add the link to custom font file 1. Explain me how I can do it? How I can add my font.woff to custom fonts. Thanks for reply.

Hi,

You have to upload the font (woff) file to your server, place it in a directory and make sure it has read permission. Then add the path to the font file in the custom font section as it is shown in the documentation – http://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-typography/

Thank you, Emil G.

I have managed to get the update to work, but having problems (like others) with side bar positions on pages.

I put the below code line in the page.php of the theme

45: $td_use_page_builder = false;

This makes the sidebar work, but then the BIG GRID doesn’t go fully across the screen. the smaller pictures wrap under the main image. Also, other full width features then don’t work

Why doesn’t the Visual Composer templates just work as they are displayed?

Hi,

The blocks (including the Big Slider) didn’t worked well on the previous version of the theme(v.4) on the default template. This happens because some(Big Slider and Grid) work only on 3/3 (full row). The default template was intended for custom pages which don’t use our blocks.

The main page can be configured manually from Visual Composer and the sidebar can be easily added using the Widgetised Sidebar block, ex. – http://screencast.com/t/H5gGHY5i

We changed the behavior of the default template to avoid the situations where people were trying to use the Big Slider on it and it was broken.

The code provided (the one on line 45) makes it behave like the one from version 4.

Thank you, Emil G.

But the ‘Big Grid 4’ doesn’t seem to display properly – the three smaller images wrap around the bottom of the main image.

If you take out the code on line 45, then the ‘Big Grid 4’ works, but the right-hand side sidebar doesn’t (it appears under the other blocks on the left).

Other issues:

1. How do you change the colour of the mobile menu bar in Newspaper 6? It’s black and my transparent logo needs a white menu bar on mobile to show (or other light colour).

2. The colour of the side bar headers isn’t linked to the main theme colour like in previous Newspaper versions. They appear as a standard black. There is no option in the theme panel to change colours on the theme panel.

3. On mobiles the theme seems to present itself too far left (it cuts half of the first letter on headlines off). Is there an easy fix to move the responsive theme right a little bit?

4. The background default image doesn’t seem to work on Woocommerce – it doesn’t stretch and it appears in two parts behind the page.

thanks

Hi,

@Big Grid 4 – Big Grid 4 has only 2 images, i’ve checked it and the images are displayed one on top of the other – http://screencast.com/t/cVuz9VbE – please provide more details, maybe an image pointing at the issue.

@If you take out the code on line 45 – please provide an image, not sure what you mean with the sidebar. It’s not possible to use the Big Grid or Big Slider on 2 columns, they require a full row.

1. Try the following css (add it in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS):
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-wrap .td-header-menu-wrap-full, .td-header-wrap .td-header-menu-wrap, .td-header-wrap .td-header-main-menu {
  background-color: #fc0000 !important;
}}

2. It’s fixed in the next update, it will be released today.

3. On what device did you tested it? please provide more details, if possible a link so i can test it on my side. Also check on the official demo to see if it’s a theme issue or a local one.

4. Check the browser console for errors, you could also disable all plugins except Visual Composer and Woocommerce and check if the issue is still there.

Thank you, Emil G.

If I bought the Newspaper theme as well, are both themes interchangeable without issue? Or will something need to be altered?

Hi,

They are different, if you move from one to the other you have to set each section from the theme panel again and recreate the pages/sidebars because the blocks are different.

Thank you, Emil G.

Sorry, one more.

Is there a way to increase the font size of block 16’s title text. You will see on my home page that it is very small on a desktop

http://thedailyheckle.net

Many thanks

Hi,

Try the following css: – http://screencast.com/t/35BYahpy0EW

@media (min-width: 1200px){ .td_block_16 .td_module_mx4 .entry-title a { font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; }}

You could also generally modify it from Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/4Ro5ePwnZ9

Thank you, Emil G.

Thanks!

Hi,

When I press the menu button on an iPhone 6 Plus, nothing happens.

My site is http://thedailyheckle.net

Strangely, the menu button works on every page other than the home page!

Hope you can help.

Malcolm

Hi,

I’ve checked your site and the logo is too large and it goes over the menu button, try to add this css inside Theme Panel -> Custom CSS:

@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-main-menu-logo img {
width: 160px;
}}

Thank you, Emil G.

Thanks

That reduced the logo size, but the menu icon still won’t work on the homepage.

Thanks

Hi,

You have some errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/wQQshTPHg1Ni Try to disable all plugins and check if the issue is still there. Disable minification, if you use cdn disable it (it may deliver older files version) and test again. Purge all files if the issue comes from cdn/external cache.

Thank you, Emil G.

The ‘Previous article’ and ‘Next article’ snippet right after a post does not translate the title as it should. It writes it literally as this [:en]Hello[:fr]Salut.

Please advise.

Hi,

I’ve just tested the prev-next article translation and it works – http://screencast.com/t/G3DKwE14http://screencast.com/t/4b9USRBEhttp://screencast.com/t/sWfSOF90U

I used qTranslate X – https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/

Thank you, Emil G.

I’m talking about the article title that appears below “Previous article” and “Next article”.

See http://www.screencast.com/t/LkUCfEn0IURz

Thanks.

Hi,

I’ve added this issue on the list, we’ll fix it in one of the next updates, thanks for reporting this.

Thank you, Emil G.

Can you tell me why is the featured image cutting on half and how to fix it.

Hi,

The theme uses the ad_image_size() function to create the thumbnails used on posts and pages – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size

The thumbs are used to speed up the page load speed, large images will slow it down.

Due to aspect ratio differences a part of the image is cut. You can read more about it here – http://forum.tagdiv.com/image-size/

A solution may be to adjust the size of the thumbs to match the aspect ratio of you images, the thumbs are registered in td_config.php – http://screencast.com/t/pwBwiJlvMlz

After you modify one you have to regenerate the thumbs – http://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-fix-strange-thumbnails/

Some blocks/modules may also require css adjustments to properly display the new thumb size.

Thank you, Emil G.

Appears to have a serious problem on mobile – very slow loading – up to 5 minutes – no one will wait for that – have posted the problem on their support forum with no reply. Our site is http://www.DroningSkies.com

Hi,

You have an error with the font used by the theme – http://screencast.com/t/61n1bOgs – try this solution – http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co

And an error with admin-ajax, this may cause your slow load on mobiles. Try the solution provided above and see if the issue is still there. Also check if one of the plugins may cause this, disable all plugins except for Visual Composer and check again.

Thank you, Emil G.

First rule of WP test the plugins – looks like it may have been a plugin. Thank you. Very happy it appears solved. If still slightly slow, but that is WordPress, not your fault.

Another “problem”, on my site, when you hover over a post title on the home page, it fafes to white – making it disappear – this is a bad thing for me. I have inspected elements and cannot seem to find the right style change to change this? I just want to change the hover color to red, can you give me the custom css to change this?

Hi,

Try this css: – http://screencast.com/t/LVhr47C8a

.td_module_wrap:hover h3.entry-title a{
color: red !important;
}

Thank you, Emil G.

Agree with “1joao” comment above … i will also go back to newspaper …. newsmag seems to be left behind …. not that i dont like it … but the newspaper update … kills everything :)

Hi,

When we had lunched the Newsmag theme we have developed new features, now on this big update of the Newspaper 6 we moved almost all features from Newsmag, plus some new features(we had to bring and develop new features not only the available features on Newsmag), this is how the process work. Is not possible to create a feature and instantly bring it in all themes.

If we compare the themes as functionality/features of course we want both to have the same features, but this can’t be at the same time.

The main difference that we want to be between the themes is the design and look, we want to offer diversity, each client should chose the one which looks best for them. The choice depends on what each one prefers.

Thank you, Emil G.

Ok, wgen should we expect the new templates in newsmag ? ... The biggrid .. Topbar ..etc

I might just wait for the next newsmag update …. Thanks

Hi,

We want to add those features in Newsmag in one of the next updates, but we have to check each feature and adapt it for the Newsmag structure so i will take some time. I can’t promise they will be available in the next update, sorry.

Thank you, Emil G.

why so slow when I use this theme, without problems if running other themes

Once I installed Visual Composer plugin, the website is very very slow…..

Hi,

Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation, provide the Item Purchase Code and wp-admin access so i can take a look.

Thank you, Emil G.

How do I add a custom sidebar to the bbPress main page?

Or a default sidebar for all forum pages?

Hi,

You can set a sidebar for bbpress from Theme Panel -> Template settings – http://screencast.com/t/W7JpZ2d2

For more options you have to add new condition on the sidebar.php file, by default only a general sidebar can be set – http://screencast.com/t/qeY7bQze You can find the conditional functions here – https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-conditional-tags/

If you don’t have programming experience i suggest that you look for a developer to modify this section for you.

Thank you, Emil G.

Thanks Emil, works great
