I’m looking to replace a theme where existing posts use the WordPress embed shortcode and a featured image. Will the theme properly display these posts or does it absolutely require the ‘Featured Video’ link on the post edit page with the Video format?

Simple Example:
[embed width='640' height='480']https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M1ZKPCLb4I[/embed]

Hi,

The theme works fine with embeded videos and featured image. If you use the featured video box you will get the option to use one of the templates specially designed for video, ex. style 8 – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-shooting-with-the-gopro-hero-action-sports/

The embeded video will be displayed like this – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-shooting-a-time-lapse-movie-with-the-camera-in-motion/

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, how do I remove the date and comment counter from ” Block 5? ” .

Thanks for all your help. You guys are truly the best and worth every penny. However, I’ve added the code but on Block 14 the thumbs are no longer clickable and I would like to center the dates under the titles. I also would like to darken the overlay on the thumbs to increase readability. https://iamajamaican.net/ Please and thanks!!

Hello?

Hi, and thanks for those nice words! :)

Please can you remove the previous CSS and add this instead:
.td_block_14 .td_module_mx1 .meta-info {
  text-align: center;
  top: 80px;
  pointer-events: none;
}
.td_block_14 .td_module_mx1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before {
  height: 200%;
}

Can the Visual Composer add-ons be installed on the VC that comes with this theme without problems??

Hi,

The VC which comes with the theme is the original unaltered version. We only disabled the frontend editor to avoid conflict with some of the theme features. It should work with any addon who doesn’t depend on the frontend interface, if you have issues with one please let us know.

Thank you, Emil G.

URGENT!!! Please help immediately, I am losing tons of credibility and views on firefox, the theme is not loading properly and I have been told it’s something in the script sending too many requests… It will load the page and then crash. Also, not as big of a deal, but the side bar in crome doesn’t stick and the ad banner at the top is not function properly as it displays <script> outside of the tag.

Never mind, I’m a dumb ass, it was my ad tags from a certain network screwing the entire them up in certain browsers. Sorry, again.

Hello , it is possible to show the related categorioas , random threads of the category of post? Instead shows the latest posts from the category or tag ?Hello , it is possible to show the related categorioas , random threads of the category of post? Instead shows the latest posts from the category or tag ?

Hi,

Not sure what you mean, do you want to display links to related categories? it’s possible only with custom modifications which are not easy to make. I suggest that you hire a professional developer to make this modification for you. If you refer to something else please provide more details.

Thank you, Emil G.

Please note in my website, top border is not visible in post pages, please see http://www.screencast.com/t/qkxPLdsW7.

Hi,

Please provide a link so i can take a look, you can send it via email at contact@tagdiv.com , also include a link to this conversation.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello TagDiv Support, can you help me fix this problem. I use the same block (block 12) to show my latest post on homepage and category, the problem is in Homepage the author of the article that I add through custom field using the tutorial that I found in this article http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-rewrite-guest-author-name-with-custom-fields-in-wordpress/ is not showing.

See the screenshot http://screencast.com/t/sY2sZfPuK4J but if you select the category where the post belong the author that I add is visible like on this screenshot http://screencast.com/t/Vgy4LwIPtH.

You can check my website www.efrennolasco.com

Thanks, EFren

Hi,

That code may work fine only on single pages or on loop, for modules it must be modified. Unfortunately i cannot provide a quick solution, my advice is to hire a professional to help you with this task, you could find one on places like http://studio.envato.com/

Thank you, Emil G.

is it possible to use also revolution slider plugin?

Hi,

Yes it’s possible, the plugin is included in the theme package inside the ../Newsmag-tf/plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/aeviGmHVEpp

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello Support, I want to know why popular post (all time) is not working on my site homepage www.efrennolasco.com

Thanks, Efren

Hi,

Do you use the 7 days post sorting option? please provide more details or 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 am using Popular (all time) sorting option http://screencast.com/t/sZVeoaWVtF So I think no need to enable 7 days post sorting option. In my homepage (http://www.efrennolasco.com/) popular post block at the right is not changing for almost a month now. http://screencast.com/t/lUsaLNeGVSZ

Hi,

The Popular (all time) sort option is based on view counter, check if the views are enabled on Theme Panel -> Post Settings – http://screencast.com/t/BHf3PIIRO1qs – and if you use cache make sure that you enable the Ajax View Count – http://screencast.com/t/zWHk7QHZ2gG8

If this doesn’t help please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look.

Thank you, Emil G.

Ok I might just be a complete idiot, but I have no clue how to add this grid area at the top of the homepage with this visual composer or revolution slider… It’s confusing as hell to me. What should I do??? I want it to look like the top of default demo… And is there a way to have the featured posts that appear in the grid based on post tags?

Hi,

Try the shim plugin to see if it helps in your case – http://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newsmag-1-7-1-killed-our-server-again/page/3/

I’ve added your suggestion on our list, i will discuss them with the team to see if it’s possible to implement it.

@post shorter than the sidebar – not sure what the solution may be for such a case, please provide some examples if you have any.

Thank you, Emil G.

Example… http://www.stunnish.com/bunch-of-protestors-with-nothing-better-to-do-than-burn-an-american-flag-get-chased-out-the-park-like-the-cowards-they-are/

Notice how the sidebar continues to scroll and leaves the area under the post content with a bunch of white space. I’m suggesting have the post content lock in place and then the sidebar continue to scroll… kind of opposite of when the sidebar locks in place.

Hi,

I understand the issue, a solution may be to add a block with infinite load at the end of the post template. The procedure is similar to this one – http://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-change-newsmag-theme-colors/http://screencast.com/t/jNs8yoaExSr

You just need to add it at the end of the template file (loop-single) or after the comments (on single.php). For more details create a new thread on the forum and ask for more details on this.

Thank you, Emil G.

On my site http://techmymoney.com The theme gallery is messed up before it loads on PC and mobile it comes up messed up https://plus.google.com/+MichaelJohnAnyaehie/posts/YmQ7VMouGAq

Also the trending now appears slashed on android devices https://plus.google.com/+MichaelJohnAnyaehie/posts/PKFmiHADhDE

For some reason when I change the color of my header or blocks the old colors appear first before the change to the new one

I’ve sent you an email! Thanks for the message! Lucian C.

Hi, I replied your email still waiting for your response

Sorry for the delay! I’ve replied you now!

Thanks Lucian C.

You should add more share buttons to posts as linkedin tumblr etc.

Hi, We have this on our todo list for the future updates, also you can use a plugin instead of the default one that have more sharing options.

Thanks for the message! Marius from tagDiv

ok, thank you!

I love this theme, but seeing how many major updates you have made to your other theme Newspaper, it seems that I bought the wrong theme. There are still many things that are missing in Newsmag that I hope will be implemented in the near future that will make this theme even better. Thanks for the great theme!

Hi, Both theme are strongly consolidated, we work hard to update them, the Newspaper needed an huge update to rise at the newsmag level and more. Now we will try to move all stuff to newsmag, step by step.

Hi. Is there a way to load a page instead of category page? For example when I click on a category “Videos” it show a page I created for the video.

Hi, You can do this with the Redirection plugin. http://screencast.com/t/HDeNXMgR

Hello Support, I want to know what is the possible reason why smart sidebar is not working on my site www.efrennolasco.com, before it’s ok I don’t remember exactly when it stop.

Thank you, Efren

Hi, You made some modification?, like compressing HTML, or CSS, JS because you have the HTML minifyed, probably comes from cloudflare, see here: http://screencast.com/t/RaTDq53OzQSU

Marius from tagDiv

Maybe that’s the problem, are you using firebug in the screenshot?

No, i use the default inspector from Firefox.

Can we disable ads on specific posts? Thanks.

Hi, Only with some code modification, we have here an implementation if you want to try: http://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/function-to-hide-ads-and-function-to-show-author/

Thanks for the message! Marius from tagDiv

It says Page Not Found?

Hi, You have purchased the theme? I see that you don’t have the buyer badge. You need to create an account on our forum support to access the page. When you create the account you will need the license key provided with the theme.

Thanks for the message! Marius from tagDiv

Hi, i’m planning to get this theme, just have some questions about the images.

1. Can i request for a button to view the full size image in other window? does it exists? or you think this is not a good idea?

2. Also about images, right now the only pinterest option is to do it for the entire post, using the post image. I could use a plugin to allow the user to pin each image sepparatly, this kind of plugins usually works as a overlay for the image. Whould this break the image handling?

Hi,

1. You can set this if you want like here: http://screencast.com/t/pPGjMdWhxTtq and the image will open in a new tab, the full version.

2. I saw on some sites using a similar plugin that add the Pinterest button on each image. I think should work, personally i haven’t tested.

Thanks for the message and for your interest! Marius from tagDiv

Is it possible to have the “short codes” option in custom post types as well? in Tinymce section.

Hi, Can you provide more details please? What shortcodes do you want? What post type you have? Also open a topic on our forum support for a better assistance: http://forum.tagdiv.com

Thanks for the message! Marius from tagDiv

What is the size proportion of the image i need to use for the style 8 of the theme?

Hi,

since style 8 is stretching the background to full screen. I would recommend a 16:9 format (hd/fullhd).

Hope this helps, Radu O.

For some reason when adding content to a page (I have it setup with a default sidebar) The sidebar disappears and I am having to manually add it with page builder. How can I fix this? (example) I had to add it with page builder on this page: http://standupjournal.com/cobian-footwear-sup-photo-of-the-year-contest-june-2015/

Hi, This is an expected behavior. The default template automatically switches to an empty one for visual composer.

We are working on a new update to Newsmag that will bring a better panel design + tooltips for most of the settings.
