Hello,

Could it be possible to force an overwall rating for review articles ?

Hi,

I’m not sure what you mean, could you please provide more details on this?

Please let us know!

Thanks for the message! Lucian C. tagDiv!

Currently, for review articles, the global rate is calculated based on each item’s rate. I’d like to set a global rate myself.

For example, if i have two items rated 8 and 6, I’d like to force the global rate to 7,5 and not 7.

I know it is currently impossible without modifying the theme but could you implement this feature in a future version ?

Hi,

Yes, you’re right, you do need changes to themes code for this however I’ll add your request on our list and consider it for future versions. If you decide to try this on your own you can find theme’s reviews code here: http://screencast.com/t/7OHbGZSh

Hi does any users on here know the custom code to move the header banner to the right slightly ? thanks.

Hi,

What type of ad do you use? for html banner try this css: – http://screencast.com/t/hdEwaHRH

.td-a-rec-id-header img {
margin-left: 5px;
}

If it doesn’t work please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , include a link to this conversation and provide the site url so i can take a look.

Thank you, Emil G.

hy, first i would like to thanks for such a masterpiece really awesome work hugs** bro i am having issue while i share anything on facebook https://qsnapnet.com/snaps/sjrr86vx8solayv can you tell how can i overcome it.

Hi,

Thanks! I have inspected your site and used the fb debugger tool to check the shard informations and after fetching the new scraped info fro your post it started displaying the right info: http://screencast.com/t/9cfyaQ2vB

Usually Facebook doesn’t update your post new info right away so it would be best ti give it some time or use the debugger tool to fetch the new information: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Hi guys,

First of all congratulations, very proud of you :) You’re doing a great job out there!

Pre-sale questions (yea, yea..):

Even if it is apparent in the upper menu, I see no Join us option in this theme – it is only log in. How are the new subscribers handled ?

How does this theme handle advertising – is it up to us to provide it or is there a system in place?

Could I add live streaming embeds instead of pictures on the slider ?

Disqus integration? Any form of community-based interaction?

All in all a good theme, I would like to get it if these issues would be solvable.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi,

1. The registration appears only if you enable it from Settings -> General – http://screencast.com/t/xeYeS5flNPo – on the official demo the registrations are disabled, the panel looks like this – http://screencast.com/t/HTjvIKU1c5

2. The theme supports adsense and custom html ads (image+link), you can read more about it in the documentation – http://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/

3. Unfortunately no, the sliders are built to display posts, the post featured image is displayed on the slider. You have to look for a plugin which adds such functionality.

4. The theme is compatible with Disqus, you could try this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/disqus-conditional-load/

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello,

Is it possible to limit the title of post, for example, 2 lines or number of characters ?. (before entering the post, On the home page). Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, you can use theme’s title excerpt settings for modules and set the title length on character or words: http://screencast.com/t/XEkvFQiK

Thanks for the message!

Hi, I got pre-sale question, is this theme compatible with Types (Custom post types) and WPML plugins? I would like to change current theme, but I have custom post types for events and recipes. Can those work with this theme?

Hi,

Thank you for your interest on purchasing our theme. The theme has custom post types and custom taxonomies support integrated, we haven’t tested it with Types plugin so I can’t give you an exact answer on it but it should work with any post type. Check our custom post types support guide here: http://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-post-type-support/ for more informations.

Based on several feedbacks we know that the WPML needs modifications in some parts to work with thew theme. We haven’t tested it so I can’t provide an accurate answer on this unfortunately.

As an alternative, a solution for building multilingual site’s we recommend the qTranslate X plugin which is a descendant of qTranslate, which has apparently been abandoned by the original author. You can also give it a try, test it and see how it works. The qTranslate plugin was initially tested and offered as solution for adding multilingual content and translation support but since it hasn’t been updated we haven’t tested it recently.

Hope this helps! Thanks for the message!

Hello, am using Newsmag Child Theme, how do I update to the latest version. All I see in the documentation is how to update the actual theme.

Hi,

First make a site backup (database and files) including a backup of your child theme files. Delete the current child theme, install the new child theme, activate it and add the modified content and custom code.

Thank you, Emil G.

All those procedures you just mentioned are actually my problem. On Wordpress Appearance->Themes I see NewsMag Theme and NewsMag Child theme(which am currently using), both with no options for deleting unlike the other themes. The theme was installed via Envato Studios and its my first experience using Child Theme. The documentation you’ve provided only explains how one can update the main Theme and not the Child Theme. Please I need detailed explanation(video,links e.t.c) of how I can update the Child Theme either via wordpress or via FTP. Thank you

Hi,

You could update via FTP, use the same procedure as the one described for the main theme – http://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/

1 – Backup the site (database and files) 2 – Activate maintenance mode (use a plugin) 3 – login via ftp and delete the current child theme 4 – upload the new child theme 5 – add the previous modifications to the newly installed child theme

In case something goes wrong use the backup to restore the site to it’s previous state and try to update again.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, how do i change the hover colour for the social icons on right hand side bar ? The block is the colour taken form background so i assume it’s a custom css change.

I need to change it for then a user clicks on social connected area on right hand side bar.

thanks

Hi,

Try this custom css code (change the color as you like): http://screencast.com/t/Wb1mpRYbgdKn

.td_block_social_counter .td_social_type:hover {
    background-color: #28A88C;
}

Thanks for the message! Lucian C. tagDiv!

Hi,

I can’t say enough good things about this theme. One question though: when choosing to show a grid on the category pages, it only shows the latest posts. It is possible to choose random or popular option for that grid just like the grid on the homepage? Maybe a feature to add in the future?

We have thousands of pages, some of which never get any attention unless we show them randomly to our visitors. That’s why I am asking. Awesome work though :)

Hi,

Unfortunately there’s no option for that, sorry, it just display the latest 5 posts and excludes them from the list which comes after. You could place a block in the sidebar to display the posts you want to attract more views, a different sidebar can be set for each category.

Thank you, Emil G.

How do you hide author and date from the search results page? thanks

Emil this did not work and author and ate still appearing. Please can you provide correct custom css.

thanks

This don’t work unfortunately, please provide correct custom css

Hi,

Try this one: http://screencast.com/t/oSxrnlI4iTzV

.search .td-module-meta-info {
display: none;
}

Thanks! Lucian C.

Hi please can you provide me with the custom css to change background colour for more stories pop up window? It’s currently white background and black text. I wish for black background and white text? Many thanks

Hi,

Try the following css: – http://screencast.com/t/G1wSqevoRa

.td-close-more-articles-box, .td-more-articles-box-title, .td-more-articles-box .td_module_wrap .entry-title a, .td-more-articles-box .meta-info .td-post-author-name a, .td-more-articles-box .meta-info .td-post-author-name span, .td-more-articles-box .meta-info .td-post-date, .td-more-articles-box .td-excerpt, .td-more-articles-box .td-module-excerpt {
color: #ffffff;
}
.td-more-articles-box {
background-color: #000000;
}

Thank you, Emil G.

thanks Emil worked a treat but how do I hide date from the box?

Hi,

Use custom css, like this: http://screencast.com/t/Yj4jBUqYzU

.td-front-end-display-block .td-module-meta-info {
display: none;
}

Thanks for the message! Lucian C. tagDiv!

Hi,

I want to display category and subcategory in the megamenu.

Eg. region > country > city

My category has 3 level:       Asia > japan > tokyo

When I click on Asia, Japan subcategory is displayed. But when I click on Japan, the tokyo subcategory did not appear. Is the megamenu limit to just 2 level – main category and subcategory? If it is so, how can I make megamenu display the subcategory Tokyo in this case?

Hi,

The mega menu wasn’t designed to display a hierarchic structure, it just displays the subcategories and their childs one after the other. To display only the direct childs you have to make the following modification in the code – http://screencast.com/t/sFhs2k7Q

Thank you, Emil G.

hi tagdiv,

Thanks for your help. This is the picture from previous version of newsmag i installed. http://www.screencast.com/t/RaKmQGFV . From the picture, I click on a category and show its subcategory. Previous version works, but the version 2.2 is not working this way. If for this 2.2 version, i want to do this way, where do i need to change?

hierarchic structure:

main category > subcategory > sub sub category > sub sub sub category.

1. if i click on main, it will show its subcategory only

2. if i click on subcategory , it will show its sub sub category only

3. if i click on sub sub category , it will show its sub sub sub category only.

Hi,

On your image i see the subcategory bar which appears on category pages and it’s not related to the mega menu. To make it display only the subcategories you have to modify the code like this – http://screencast.com/t/P6Ke7a491

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi! Looks like an amazing theme. One question before I buy it about the top banner (ads) position: is it a widget area? I’d like to have a rotating banner or a widget with view-count/stats etc. If it’s not a widget area, is that possible in some way? Thanks! Joeri

Hi,

It’s not a widget area, but you could use a plugin like adrotate, just place the shortcode in Theme Panel -> Ads -> Header Ad box – http://screencast.com/t/UItzmdlGcw

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi TagDiv

1 – On Newspaper version 6.4 have new smart list with pagination (smart list 6 and 7). Do Newsmag takes a similar update?

2 – if we compare Newspaper Module 10 Layout with Newsmag Module 10 Layout, on hdpi mobile phone or tablet Newspaper’s Module 10 Layout looks better than Newsmag Module 10 Layout. Will it be updated soon?

Thanks.

Hi,

1. Yes we plan to add similar smart lists on Newsmag in one of the future updates.

2. I’ve sent your suggestion to our designer, he decides on this type of issues. Until then you could try the following plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-retina-2x/ – and see if there’s an improvement.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello, is there a way to input more than one source (name and url) for a post?

Hi,

You have to modify the code (add more source fields) – http://screencast.com/t/3IUSWxHy0http://screencast.com/t/CggTjGrzBQ6b

Thank you, Emil G.

interested to buy this theme .. but little confused… can i use “Arena Products Store – WordPress Plugin – CodeCanyon” with technews design ..

Hi,

Thanks you for your interest on using our theme. Unfortunately we haven’t tested the theme with the Arena Products Store plugin so I can’t give you an accurate answer on this. Sorry!

Our ecommerce tested solution is the woocommerce wp plugin for which the theme has integrated support which we also plan to extend in future theme versions: https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/

Thanks for the message!

Lucian C. tagDiv!

hello author,

can you test Arena Products Store – WordPress Plugin.. coz i need it and i also want to buy your them

Hi,

Unfortunately i cannot test it, sorry, that’s a premium plugin and i don’t own a copy of it.

Thank you, Emil G.

How can I increase the headline length on blocks and smartlists? They’re too short and cut off before the full headline text appears. Is there an option in the theme panel because I don’t want to keep editing the smartlist php after each theme update.

I also have a problem with smartlists, despite following the tutorial and no alignment set, in that images are not appearing as they do in the demo. They are instead showing above and to the right of the headline and text for smartlist 3 and 4, instead of alongside it. Only smartlist 1 and 2 seems to work.

Thanks.

Hi,

The smart list have a 55 character limit for title, and to change it you need to modify the file corresponding to the smart list that you’re using: http://screencast.com/t/dZC3HHAsjOrF for blocks you can use the excerpt length settings from theme’s panel: http://screencast.com/t/nmEjWizUC

Sorry for the inconvenience of changing the smart list title limit in the code, we will consider adding a setting for them also in the next theme update.

Please provide the URL of post with an example of this so we can inspect it and if you don’t want to post your site’s URL here contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com. We will reply you as soon as possible.

If use clicks on twitter icon of author the link is http://mysite.com/username/@username

please can you provide a fix for this
