And i want to add the follow us like Facebook,twitter above the header, help me. ref. womenlife.co.in
Hello,
Ad can be inserted before secondary widget area using a ‘Text Widget’ . You can do so inside Appearance > Widgets > Widget area after content. Place your ad code or image code inside the text widget.
Social links can be placed inside Appearance > Widgets > Default Header Bar. Use “Newsplus Social links’ widget for adding the buttons.
Regards
hi, in Top Utility Bar, i want to add the “Social Icons” at the right side. help me. thank you. ref: womenlife.co.in
instead of the optional text “Optional callout text right side.” i want to add “social icons” thank you.
hi “Enable sticky main navigation bar” i want to insert logo in it. help me. thank you. ref. womenlife.co.in
Hello mbabu2101,
Kindly add this code inside Optional callout text right side>
<ul class="inline-social">
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a></li>
</ul>
Then add the following CSS inside user.css or child theme’s style.css file:
.inline-social {
margin: 0 -8px;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
.inline-social li {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 4px;
}
.inline-social li a {
display: block;
padding: 0 4px;
}
You can know icon names at fontawesome site. Just replace “fa-icon_name” with the actual class name.
Logo can not be shown in sticky navbar, as it is created dynamically using only the menu via JavaScript.

thank you very much

Hi, I’m considering to purchase your theme (looks great) but I wonder if it’s easily possible to put the Search bar in the main menu (the one with Contact us on the demo) and totally remove the little menu on top?
Hello remrib,
Thank you for browsing the theme. The top navbar can be disabled via Theme Options. The search box in main menu can be added with some customization. I can help with that if required.

I want to add clickable background ads using WP Pro Advertising System. I have created a code to be added ad body tag. But I am not very sure which file contain the tag or div body. Please help me on this. my web is www.mekanika.com.my

Hello syukran18,
The head tag and body tag are located inside header.php file. You can copy header.php inside child theme and then modify it. Or if you are using parent theme, simply edit header.php for placing ad code. Make sure to keep track of these change if you update the theme in future.

And one thing i want to add text link at the footer (right to the copyright section) like abouts | contacts and more, could you plz help me …
And how do i insert the same layout in my template path url… mega>categories>food
Hello,
In order to add custom links in footer, kindly navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Footer. Then inside custom footer text, place the following markup:
<ul class="inline-links">
<li><a href="http://url-of-link/">Link 1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://url-of-link/">Link 2</a></li>
<li><a href="http://url-of-link/">Link 3</a></li>
</ul>
You will need to change link names and URLs as required. Save these settings. Next, navigate to Appearance > Editor, and add these rules at the end of user.css or child theme’s style.css file:
.inline-links {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
.inline-links li {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 4px;

Regarding template path, do you mean the breadcrumb trail, browser URL or the mega menu?

hi thank you, footer links work well, and regarding template path of mega menu like the same we have to use it in the other link, how to do? ref:http://preview.themeforest.net/item/newsplus-magazineeditorial-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/4208250?_ga=1.58230760.392455476.1486809608
And how do i do a SEO for my site, any plugins available or we insert it directly to the page. please let me know…thank u.
Hello,
Sorry but I am still confused about your mega menu path query. Can you please share a screen shot? For SEO, I would recommend Yoast SEO plugin. It has options per page and you can set keywords as required.

hi, need to differentiate the header menu with each different underline color instead of single red color. where should i change it please let me know
Hello,
Kindly add these rules at the end of user.css file:
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(2) > a {
border-bottom-color: #fc0;
}
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(3) > a {
border-bottom-color: #ff006b;
}
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(4) > a {
border-bottom-color: #14ad97;
}
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(5) > a {
border-bottom-color: #3741bd;
}
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(6) > a {
border-bottom-color: #8827b1;
}
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(7) > a {
border-bottom-color: #ff0053;
}
The numbers inside nth-child(xx) is the link postion in menu. You can change border colors as required.
Important: Please remove the pre tags from your user.css file otherwise these CSS rules will not work.
Regards
thank u, one more 2 color want to change. 1. mouse over border color 2. active color, what should i do
Hello,
Kindly add these rules inside user.css file:
/* current active link */
ul.nav-menu > li.current_page_item > a {
border-bottom-color: #000;
}
/* Hover state */
.nav-menu > li:nth-child(6):hover > a {
border-bottom-color: #ff0053;
}
The current active state can not have nth selection as we can not filer nth item by class name. So the current active link color will remain same.
Each menu item ‘li’ has a unique class name. You can target those classes but I would not suggest it because the class name may change if you delete and add any menu item. Just for example, the “college” link has class name ‘menu-item-326’. So it can be targeted as:
ul.nav-menu > li.menu-item-326.current_page_item > a {
border-bottom-color: #000;
}
For unique class names of other menu items you can see the source code of page.
Regards
thank u very much, you are so very kind of my questions to answer.
No problem. 
hi, i assign the left and right tower banner ads its overlapping the content. please check it and let me know. ref: womenlife.co.in
And also i have 2 many ads in the same size how much i rotate each banner dynamically …
Hello,
The side ads will stick to left and right side of screen. If the screen width is less, they overlap the content. By default, they are set to hide below 1140px width. If you want to keep them at normal resolution, it will be required to reduce site width, which you can do so inside Theme Options > General > Layout width. Set around 960 and save settings.
For images rotation, you can use any image slider widget like this one.
Regards
hi, i want to add “google ad sense” in each page with different ads how do i?
Hello,
You can use the Content Aware Sidebars or Widget logic plugin. Using these, you can create exclusive sidebars, or set widget visibility per page. Then you can place different ads in multiple widgets and show/hide them for particular pages.

Hello
I’m using facebook comments instead of wordpress’ own comments. Is there a way to display number of comments (with facebook comments) on the front page instead of number of wordpress comments? Have you ever worked with that?
Regards
Hello bpoulsendk,
The theme uses WordPress’ get_comments_number() function for retrieving comments number. This function is used at 4 or 5 instances in “NewsPlus Shortcodes” plugin and inside the theme core files. If the Facebook Comments plugin has any function for retrieving FB comments number, then it will be required to replace all instances of get_comments_number() with that custom function.
Just for example, inside newsplus-shortcodes/shortcodes/shortcodes.php file, at around line no. 1102, you will find this code:
$num_comments = get_comments_number();
This shall be changed to something like:
$num_comments = fb_comment_num_function(); // Where fb_comment_num_function() will be the function which returns comments number of FB
If you can send me the URL of plugin, I can check and let you know if they support any such function.
Regard
I see facebook comments count can be found with this:
<fb:comments-count href=”<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>”></fb:comments-count>
Not quite sure how I should replace that in your code….
Maybe I should just drop the facebook comments plugin and use wordpress’ own..
Hello again,
The <fb:comments-count> solution may not work for group of posts. I suspect it will work only for single post page because it needs a unique URL and OG tags for that URL. More information here. You can replace the following code in core files:
$num_comments = fb_comment_num_function();
to the following:
$num_comments = '<fb:comments-count href="' . get_permalink() . '"></fb:comments-count>';
This will replace the comment number with FB code. Let me know if it works at your end.

Hello Saurabh, I use your NewsPlus theme and I am very happy with it, it’s excellent. In our site www.triesteallnews.it, we implemented example 10 of the homepage. I have two questions: - how can we change the font of the text preview inside the preview windows of the grid? (i.e. to put it in bold) - would it be possible to customize the grid in order to have the bigger picture of the grid connected to a certain post category and the rest (the smaller one) as they are now?
We can provide purchase codes via email.
Hello Tiercullus,
Thank you for kind words and feedback. Your site looks good.
In order to make grid post titles bold, kindly navigate to WordPress admin’s Appearance > Editor, then click on user.css file and these rules at the end of file:
.grid-list h2 {
font-weight: bold;
}
Save these changes and check the site.
For bigger grid as category thumbnail, currently it is not possible as all posts are linked to their single post page. Only category links inside the post thumbnail can link to individual categories. I will try and add this feature in next update.
Regards
Thank you very much! We performed the change in user.css and all is ok. For the future having the chance to use categories in the bigger grid would be wonderful, looking forward to it if you’ll have the chance!
Yes sure, I will try my best in adding this feature.
Regards
Hi, after switching to NewsPlus I’ve been getting lots of this:
Aq_Resize.process() error: Unable to resize image because image_resize_dimensions() failed
Image Sizes in Theme Options left unchanged (no hard crop checked).
Hello saadhh,
Kindly send me your site URL and login details at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will check the issue. The images get resized properly on default image sizes in theme options, so I will need to check if there is some other conflict or issue.
Regards
Hi, when using display_style=”one-col” with num=1 on front page I don’t have a link for image and title. could you pls have a look at alhuqq.com through inspect element. I have 4 such style on page with link disabled.
Hello Saadhh,
Kindly do the following:
1. Inside WordPress Settings > Page Builder > Widgets, uncheck the “Add Widget Class” option and Save settings. This will align the grid images properly in Home page.
2. Navigate to Appearance > Editor, and add click on child theme’s style.css file for editing. Next, add this rule at the end of file:
.one-col.entry-grid {
float: none !important;
}
Save the file. Then check site by clearing all browser caches. The links will work fine.
Regards
Done. Thank you for your prompt support.
Do you have more specific instructions for setting up the News Ticker? I’m having difficulty knowing where to begin. It is running but not updating since I originally loaded it.
Hello joedacus,
News ticker is shown in two ways — By using theme options, or by using a shortcode. I will described each method one by one:
1. If you are using theme options method, you can change ticker category IDs inside Appearance > Theme Options > Header > Category IDs for news ticker. Here you need to provide numeric category IDs from which you wish to show posts. For multiple IDs,use comma separated values. E.g. 3,5,12
2. If the ticker is shown using shortcode, then you will need to edit the page. Then locate the section or widget (in case of page builder) in which the following shortcode is placed:
[newsplus_news_ticker cats="-1" num="6"]
Inside cats=”xx”, provide numeric category IDs, separated by comma. Then update the page.
For more information on shortcode parameters of ticker, kindly check latest documentation file’s “Shortcode reference > NewsPlus News Ticker” section.
Regards
Hello,
I want dummy demo 10 , how can to find it ??? it’s not include in your latest version.
Hello redarmy9,
The Home 10 layout is included as a pre-built page builder template. It will be required to use SIteOrigin Page Builder plugin and then use the pre-built template from it’s template library. Please check the latest documentation inside your main download archive for more details on creating a Home page with page builder.

Hi – I am seeking to have a limited number of tags (say 5 maximum) at the bottom of each blog post summary on the post preview pages. Can you advise how I can do that with this them?
Thank you – Steve.
Hello Steve,
Thank you for purchasing the theme. Tag list can be shown in post modules below post summary. Kindly let me know whether you are using shortcodes for showing post summary, a page template, or default archives. These are the three sources which are used to show post modules. If you can send me your site/page URL, I will check which type of source is being used, and will provide appropriate solution.
Regards
Thanks for the quick response – the test site URL is here: http://103.37.8.111/~committe/. Thank you.
Hello Steve,
On home page you are using default blog roll, i.e. archives. Kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com, I will send you the files along with update instructions.

Hello,
First off .. wonderful theme!! I am however having problems with image quality. A regular post’s featured image looks good.
When I use the same photos in a gallery they look pixelated. This might be a retina issue but the quality is noticeably lower.. I’ve tried using the retina x2 plugin but doesn’t seem to make a difference.
I searched the support archive and you mention a slider image setting under theme options -> image size .. It’s not there in your current version.
Any ideas? 
Hello bpoulsendk,
Thank you for purchase and kind feedback.
By ‘gallery’ do you mean the WordPress gallery or the post shortcodes?
For slider and post shortcodes, you can control image sizes by using imgwidth=”xx” and imgheight=”xx” parameters inside the shortcode, as shown below:
[insert_posts imgwidth="400" imgheight="280" imgcrop="true"]
Image sizes for archives and single posts is controlled via Appearnce > Theme Options > Image Sizes. Kindly send me your site URL, so that I can check and suggest appropriate solution.
Regards
By gallery i mean the post format “Gallery” and yes creating a gallery according to your documentation … I think I found the problem/solution.
I ran a test environment setting up the website on the theme and I set wordpress’ own image size for large to 1024.. And on the live site that value was set to 800.
After changing the image size for Large images in wordpress’ own image size setting to 1024 on the live site it appears the image quality is now matching the text environment.
Would I be right that that has something to do with it?
Hello,
When creating a WordPress gallery, the ‘thumbnail’ size is taken as default, unless we change it. See http://prntscr.com/du7xsh
So while choosing images, select bigger size for each image.
You are also right on the fact that default size is getting changed to 800. This is because of the theme defined thumbnail size inside functions.php, at line no. 70:
set_post_thumbnail_size( 800, 9999 );
Where 800 is the width and 9999 is the max height. You can change this size either in main file, or add the following code inside child theme’s functions.php file:
function my_custom_thumbnail_size() {
set_post_thumbnail_size( 1024, 9999 );
}
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_custom_thumbnail_size' );
Important: If the new size doesn’t come into effect on existing images, install Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and run Tools > Regen. Thumbnails. This will re generate all images into newly specified dimensions.
Regards
On your first point.. I don’t click insert gallery.. Just like your documentation says so it uses flexslider and not wordpress’ own gallery… Anyway .. Problem seems to have been solved by changing the large thumbnail value
... Thanks for the quick response 
No problem, and sorry about the confusion with gallery. I suppose you are using the “Gallery Post Format’. In that case, the single post image size will be taken as provided for single posts inside Appearance > Theme Options > Image Sizes. If same post is seen in archives, the thumbanail size will be taken as specified for Grid Style templates inside Theme Options > Image Sizes.
If the problem persists in future, kindly send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com along with your site URL.
Regards
Hello. It is nice to put up the updated theme. But I ran into problems. I can’t seem to get the homepage right- http://www.indieactivity.com/home-2017, kindly help. The images on the slider are all messed up. Plus when I updated, I deleted the old theme and added the new, but it retained my css, I want to style the theme like the demo
Hello tayooye,
Kindly navigate to WordPress admin’s Settings > Page Builder. Then click on the “Widgets” tab and un-check the “Add Widget Class” option. Save these settings and check the site by clearing all caches.
Regarding custom CSS, it should be the Appearance > Customize settings which are coming into effect. You can change these settings to “default” inside Appearance > Customize > Colors. Click on each color field and use the default color value. Then save and publish these changes.
Regards
Thanks, it worked like magic.
Another error popped after the first, kindly see – http://www.indieactivity.com/home-2017/, the images now have gaps. How do I close the gaps?
Also the thumbnails on all pages don’t show after the theme upgrade. Any ideas?
Hello,
The images in Home page grid shall be resized into smaller thumbnails but it is not happening. By looking at the source code, it seems there is one more plugin which is affecting theme resize. Kindly check if Jetpack’s Photon module is enabled. If so, disable it.
Regarding thumbnails, the image source is empty. If using any caching plugin or CDN, make sure to clear all caches and update the files.
Regards
It worked, thanks again
On last thing, kindly view the page – http://www.indieactivity.com, the image sizes are not in the same ratio as the demo. The images are in the sizes 960×540, just as in the demo. How can I achieve the demo size? Plus I am trying to edit the CSS, but I don’t see any visible changes. How do I edit CSS to alter font size etc.?
I have effectively achieved the first question, thanks. I need help with the second.
How do I reduce - the space between the news ticker and images on the homepage? - the space between the logo and the menu? - the height of the secondary grey bar at the top?
Hello,
For reducing gap between ticker and main content, kindly add these rules inside user.css file:
.home #main .wrap {
padding-top: 16px;
}
The CSS changes are not coming into effect because you might be using some caching or minify plugin. By looking at the source code, the style.css is compressed (which is result of a minify plugin). So whenever you make any CSS changes, kindly update all caches and minified files.
P.S. Please also consider renewing support package so that I can continue providing support.
Regards
Thank you. You are kind.
Hello again. Do kindly help explain how I can reset the CSS sheet to its original, I got rid of the minify plugins?
Hello tayooye,
In order to reset style.css file, replace it with the current one using FTPor File Manager. If using a child theme, you need to delete all custom styles from it so that original ones come into effect.
Regards
Thanks! Got it. You’re a miracle!
Ok. I’m not sure you’ll answer me this time, but if you do, I’d appreciate it a LOT.
How can I reduce the spacing between widgets, on the homepage and throughout the whole theme. (e.g. the spacing between the image widget and the slider below it?)
And how do I reduce the font-size for the slider, posts etc
Hello tayooye,
On your Home page I do not see a slider. Can you share a screen shot, pointing the gaps between sections. Also send me a screen shot of titles on which you wish to change font size. I will suggest appropriate CSS solution.
Regards
Do I email you?
Hello,
You can share screen shot via online service prnt.sc.

ok
Hi Saurabh,
Please send me plugin 1. NewsPlus Shortcodes 2.SiteOrigin Panels at muntasirjmi@gmail.com because I don’t have the access of FTP account.
Hello shantanu77,

I have a problem with the index.php creating too many PHP processes and therefore affecting the stability of the server. Have you had any issues with too many PHP calls in your theme and is there a solution? I’ve turned off most plugins and also tried removing external ads (Google Adsense, Amazon) but still did not help.
Hello Jeff,
The index.php doesn’t create too many processes. However, performance may get affected if you use too many post shortcodes, post widgets and WP menus in one page. Make sure to limit post shortcodes or modules to around 10 per page. If using more than two WordPress menus, make sure to remove them as well. Generally we use Custom Menu widget in sidebar which also slows down the site.
I can tell more if you send me your site URL. I will run a pagespeed test and see which things are slowing down the site.
Regards
OK thank you. I checked on the shortcodes used for the homepage and it does not show up correctly. (I cannot edit the custom homepage.)
Is it necessary to update SiteOrigin Panels?
- Jeff
Oops. Domain is hd-report.com. I can send you screenshots or user/pass if you like.
Hello Jeff,
I just executed a test on your site. https://gtmetrix.com/reports/hd-report.com/QduqGRr7 . As you can see, main issue is image sizes and the request packet size. Image sizes can be reduced by using imgwidth and imgheight parameters inside post shortcodes. For example, edit your Home page and edit any widget containing the post shortcode:
[insert_posts display_style="three-col" imgwidth="300" imgheight="180" imgcrop="true" ... other parameters]
For archives and categories, you can set image sizes inside Appearance > Theme Options > Image Sizes.
Regarding request packet size, these are arising from the amazon URLs. If using a plugin for amazon, kindly check by disabling it, and by also disabling all caches of caching plugin (if used any).
Regarding SiteOrigin Panels update, yes it is recommended to update the plugin.
Regards
Hi. Those are things I already looked into. I did some testing and removed all Amazon ads and Google ads for one weekend. I also understand about image size and total weight of page being over 2mb. However, the problems the index.php is having have to do with processing on the server. I can send you some stats via email if that is OK.
Hello Jeff,
Yes you can send me stats at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Hi, How to disable secondary menu at the top ?
Hello redarmy9,
Do you mean only the menu or the entire grey bar which shows at the top? Menu can be changed to text content inside Appearance > Theme Options > Header > Top Left callout section. Choose ‘text’ and save settings.
If you wish to disable entire bar, check the “Disable top utility bar” option in same section.
