Requesting to have post_format added for the Sort order drop-down!

It’s a bit hard to understand why such a powerful theme doesn’t have the functionality to filter post by format :(

Hi,

Thanks for your request, I will add it on our todo list and we will try to implement it for future!

Have a nice day! Alin V.

Just curious what setting I’m missing (or if I’m using the wrong dimensions) to allow my featured image to go the full width of the designated area. There’s a vertical gray bar on the right. I’ve adjusted the image dimensions but it doesn’t seem to help.

http://www.freesportspress.com is the site I have this theme loaded on

Hi,

If you want to use post style 4, you featured image must have at lease 1021px width(which is the size of the container) to fill up all that space – http://screencast.com/t/kdJsLsa6http://screencast.com/t/wO75RymQ

You could use a plugin like Thumbnail Upscale in combination with Force Regenerate to stretch it or you could try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://screencast.com/t/jFD1o1o0

.single_template_4 .td-post-featured-image img {
width: 100%;
}

If you have other questions related to the theme please open a new topic on our forum – http://forum.tagdiv.com/ and our support team will gladly answer you there.

Thanks! Alin V.

hello, cool theme man, so far very pleased, can you tell me how can i change the height of the slider on the home page?

Hi,

Please check this topic as reference – http://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/increase-slide-height/ You will need custom modification to change the slider’s height and you will need some php/html/css experience. If you want only to decrease the slider’s height you can try that css code and add the height value. It works also on Newsmag theme even it was provided for Newspaper, please check – http://screencast.com/t/7R0nBbevsR

If you have other questions related to the theme please open a new topic on our forum – http://forum.tagdiv.com/ as this section is more intended for presales.

Thanks! Alin V.

the screencast works like a charm, thumbs up. the first link is not found though. thank you

Hi,

The link works properly, you need to register on our forum – http://forum.tagdiv.com/register/ Or if you already have an account, just login.

Thanks! Alin V.

HI, Google fonts are needed? I do not use them. You can delete script?

Hi,

The Roboto and Open-sans are loaded from the code because they are used on the theme’s elements by default. If you don’t want to use them you can remove/comment it you already us a custom font – http://screencast.com/t/neL25B4A These default fonts need to be loaded because they are used in the stylesheet file. So removing that code, it doesn’t mean that you remove them also from the style.css file.

If you have other questions related to the theme please open a new topic on our forum – http://forum.tagdiv.com/ or contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com as this section is more intended for presale questions. We provide support on the forum or via email.

Hello, I put all right informations (Facebook ID, Facebook security ID, Facebook security key and Facebook acces token) for my Facebook page in widget section. My Facebook page has 20 fans, but on my site it counts 0 fans. How thah can be?

Hi,

Please make sure you use the latest theme version 3.1 and also the latest version of Social Counter plugin provided with the theme 4.1. If you don’t , please update them, here you can find the theme update guide – http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ and the Social Counter can be found in plugins folder like all other theme’s plugins – http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-whats-included/

If the issue persist please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a closer look(leave the Social Counter configured). Also paste a link to this ticket.

Thanks! Alin V.

Just updated Newsmag on smartphone-mania.de. The Homepage Crashed, Visual Composer doesnt work, blocks are gone. The Social Media Plugin doesnt work, The Mega Menu doesnt load and not work. My configuration is done (e.g. no comment count etc.). WTF? I will know downgrade from data backup. Please tell me what is wrong here? I have made many updates from Newsmag in the past but never had such problems!

Hi,

Did you updated also the plugins provided with the theme(Visual Composer, Social Counter..)? Please make sure that after the theme update, you update also these plugins, check the Visual Composer update guide(the procedure is the same for all plugins) – http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also please clear all your caches and purge your files if you use CDN.

Let us know how it goes via email at contact@tagdiv.com and also please paste a link to this ticket.

Thanks! Alin V.

Hello I have a question before buying your theme: sometimes I need to publish an article without the featured image showing up on the top….is that option available?

Hi,

Sorry for delay we don’t work on weekends!

I see that you already bought the theme, so if you did not managed to find the answer for this, I can tell you that the theme has a template without featured image on post page(post style 7) – http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-default-post-templates/ and you can set it only on individual posts.

Please open a new topic on our support forum if you have other questions related to the theme – http://forum.tagdiv.com/

Thanks! Alin V.

No problem, I bought it because I was in a hurry and also because I watched some of your tutorials on youtube, and there I could take a look at all the post templates. It’s a great theme, I must say. I have another question but I’ll ask in the support forum

If you click on the “Post Comment” button without filling the required fields, it goes to a separate error page. You should make it like other themes have done it:when you try to post it, a bubble pops-up asking to fill in the fields.

Hi,

Thanks for your message and for your request. I will add this on our todo list and the developers will consider it for future updates. If you have other questions or requests please open a new topic on our support forum – http://forum.tagdiv.com/

Have a nice day! Alin V.

How do i disabled all images on homepage as well as the image placeholder?

Hello,

If the featured images are active on posts, then they will be grabbed on the homepage blocks. If you want to have only title son the homepage, why not use blocks that do not show featured images like :

http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-9/ http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-10/

If the featured image is active on posts, it will show up in a block that uses the images.

Thank you!

Thanks, exactly what i thought of, i personally like the block 9 http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-9/ but how will i make sure i have the latest post and not scramble post on those block if they appear on homepage? Secondly will i be able to have a pagination i uses the block 9 on my homepage?

Hello,

Every block can have different sorting options and pagination. Each and every one can be set as you want it to from the block settings. Please read this guide to better understand how they work: http://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/

Thank you! Bogdan B

Updated to the current version of the theme. The weather widget doesn’t work at all irrespective of the location chosen.. Any reasons

Replied via email!

I allowed the connection on the host Control Panel and it worked now. Thanks a million

I added the instagram widget, works with some existing instagram account ID’s. I created a new Instagram account and that doesnt work at all

Hi, what is the difference between NewsMag and Newspaper? I currently use Newspaper. Thanks!

Thank you! Bogdan B

In the theme panel there is a section for custom code – the iframe items don’t seem to resize, so i added a custom javascript code which was not doing anything. I then removed this javascript. However, it seems to have not actually been removed, as it is inflicting on posts on which i have posted up, and the ‘custom code’ ‘custom javascript’ section, is blank.

Could you please advise me where in the files, this is saved if it does so, in the FTP? OR otherwise, how do i reset these values to default within the theme? Thanks.

The best thing to do is install a demo without dummy data and simply create your own content. That way it will not get removed

Thanks

What is the point of the options of having the dummy data, ie layout – if it gets removed? Sorry if we are crossing wires here, If i would like to install the ‘animal theme demo’ – ‘without content’ or ‘include content’ – which one are you suggesting? Because when you install it ‘without content’ it isn’t keeping any layout? Thank you

Hello,

A demo can be installed with or without content. If you choose to install the dummy data, this is only meant to be a testing environment so you can see the theme and demo style in action so you do not have to add dummy posts and content yourself before you choose which layout you want. If you install the demo without the dummy data, the style is kept, but you will not have any dummy data. You have to create your own content using the theme settings. A demo changes the style of the theme, not the functionality. If you have any further questions, please open a new topic on our support forum as the comments section here is not destined for theme support but for presale questions.

Thank you for your understanding.

Simply awesome theme!!! Thanks tagDiv…

Thank you for your appreciation. It’s always good to see our hard work is appreciated.

Hi Developer! With the Social Login plugin, you give your visitors an ability to login with social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more. No more old fashioned registration form and confirmation emails! No one wants to create a new account just to check what your site has to offer. Don’t make this mistake and don’t try to change users habits.

So please add the social login feature to the Newsmag Login Modal Popup. We will buy your amazing Newsmag theme if the feature is already there. Social Login is the key of the modern website trends. Thank you!

Hi,

For the moment there is no such functionality implemented in our theme. Our custom login does not have options to login with social network profiles. I will pass this information on to the development team though.

Thank you for your interest in our theme! Bgodan B

Hello, my Instagram feed does not work even if i tried cocacola, or other public accounts, I keep getting the message “Instagram data error: Instagram html data cannot be retrieved” . Also the Social counter does not work for Instagram, it works for Youtube though. What is the problem please? can you fix this? I’ve already tried to disable all plugins except Visual composer and still no problem. Our website is www.mediafree.gr

Hello,

Please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and investigate this issue.

Thank you! Bogdan B

Visual Composer does not work. Won’t to be loaded. I can only switch from Visual editor to Visual composer, but composer never load. My last version of WPBakery Visual Composer is 4.7.4, which i got with theme when i bought Newsmag theme. I think that i have that problem from last Wordpreess update which was 4.6.

Many thanks

P.S. I love this theme.

Hi tagDiv. How can edit POPULAR POSTS: http://www.screencast.com/t/SGzNrOdmekR I want rename it and change the article. Thanks you.

Hello,

The popular posts element is part of the predefined content that comes with the footer style. Unfortunately it can only be ‘translated’. You cannot change it;s settings. If you want to have your own cusatom elements in the footer area, please choose a footer style that does not have predefined content and add your own blocks in the wordpress widgets area under the 3 footer widgets called footer 1, footer2 and footer 3. You can read more about this here: http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-footer-templates-2/

Thank you! Bogdan B

how do i setup my top menu to look like tech01.us (full width and with bg color)

Hi,

The theme used on that site is Newspaper and you use Newsmag so please note that they are different themes and also the header templates differ. Here you can all the header styles available on Newsmag theme – http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-header-styles/

You could use header style 9 (Full menus + logo in menu) and change the background colors from Theme Panel > Theme Colors – http://screencast.com/t/jGEtLnpF

If you have other questions and/or you need further assistance please open a new topic on our forum – http://forum.tagdiv.com/ as this section is more intended for presale questions.

Thanks! Alin V.

I’ve got both the themes, newspaper and newsmag, and on this site “news.appuals.com” i am using newspaper theme. Please update

If you have also Newspaper you can change to header style 12 and set also the background color for your menus – http://screencast.com/t/MUtPYOXiaChhttp://screencast.com/t/kbagcqJwV

Please remove your background color from here – http://screencast.com/t/iKamwspJ as when you have a background image or color set, the site will automatically switch to boxed version.

If you need further assistance please open a new topic on our forum or contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and our support team will gladly assist you.

Thanks for understanding! Alin V.
