Does the theme also work with the plugin WP_Review_Pro ?

Yes it works with the pro version of WP Review too.

The error with the wrong date format in dateModified on German pages is still present in the current update. I’ve already reported about it, you wanted to correct that in the update?

<meta itemprop=”dateModified” content=”30. Oktober 2017”/>

Hello BlogEngel,

The format was corrected in theme, but has still left in NewsPlus Shortcodes plugin. I will correct it too. You might be seeing this format in post shortcodes, and not in archive or single posts.

Regards

OK. It would be great if you could correct it, that’s very annoying.

I will correct it at my earliest. :)

Excuse me! Dates,(year,month,date) can not remove “three-col” shortcodes https://kllproject.lv/

Hello,

Kindly change the previously mentioned CSS rules to thefollowing ones inside Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.entry-list li.post-time,
.entry-list li.post-author:before,
.entry-grid li.post-time,
.entry-grid li.post-author:before {
    display: none;
}

Save these changes and then check the site by clearing all plugin caches and browser caches.

Regards

Thank you!

Hello. I know my support has expired. Is there any way I can get my fingers on the 2.4.6 version files again? I have accidentally deleted the original download and need the documentation/page examples of the old shortcode versions. I’m not a big fan of the Page Builder plugin and prefer the old way of creating the front page.

Hello again. Nevermind.. I found it on my other computer :)

Hello bpoulsendk,

No problem. Just in case you need the files again, feel free to email me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send you the archive.

How do i add 728×90 banner beside the header logo? I want to put Google Adsense on that area.

Hello,

Can you send me your site URL please. I will check if the code is placed correctly.

Regards

Hello imtimyu,

The header style is being chosen as Full Width in Theme Options > Header > Header Style. Kindly change this to “Default” and save settings. After that, ad will appear next to the logo.

Regards

i just buy this theme but i can’t find how to install it as in Demo

Hello oljan,

Thank you for purchasing the theme. I think you only downloaded installable theme files. Please download entire package and then check the documentation/index.html file inside the main download archive. It contains step by step instructions on theme installation and setup. If you find any difficulty after reading the steps, feel free to contact me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will help in setting it up.

The Theme Newsplus uses code the wrong format. Google reports errors while checking the page. Look:

<meta itemprop=”dateModified” content=”30. Oktober 2017”/>

I see, yes it can be due to different format in German. I will change it to standard format as I mentioned in previous mail.

Regards

ok, thanks

Hi we have been using this them for the wynnumcentral.com.au site for a while (~4 years) and think it is a great theme. However we have not kept it up-to-date – still running on original version and the site is now experiencing heavy resource use esp physical memory usage and I/O usage. We have around 600 posts and 8 active plugins. Most resource usage seems to occur when we log in and are posting new items. Is there any possibility this is caused by us not having kept the theme up-to-date? If so, can we simply upload and upgrade to the latest version, skipping all the intervening updates or do we have to do it another way? Look forward to hearing back. Yours David Bateson

Hello David,

I’m glad to know you are using the theme for four years. Thank you for kind words and feedback.

If you are still using initial release of the theme, it is possible that it might not be compatible with latest WordPress and plugins. Though heavy resource usage can be due to outdated plugins too. I would recommend updating WordPress, plugins and theme to their latest versions.

If you update the theme to latest one directly, there is no harm, except for some style changes. The updation process shall go in this manner:

1. Keep a backup of old theme folder ‘newsplus’ if you have any custom changes in it.

2. Upload latest ‘newsplus’ and ‘newsplus-child’ folders to the ‘wp-content/themes/’ folder of your server using FTP or File Manager.

3. Upload ‘newsplus-shortcodes’ folder to the ‘wp-content/plugins/’ folder of your server. This plugin contains all shortcodes of the theme. The shortcodes were moved into this separate plugin during mid updates.

4. Log in to WordPress and activate the NewsPlus Child theme.

5. Navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and activate the NewsPlus Shortcodes plugin.

6. Navigate to Appearance > Theme Options, and click on “Save all settings”.

7. Navigate to Appearance > Menus, and set the menus if they got unassigned.

8. Navigate to Appearance > Widgets, and check (or re place) widgets in their appropriate locations/sidebars.

Clear all caches of browser and caching plugins and check the site. If you encounter any style issues, kindly send me an email at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will suggest appropriate fix.

Hi my friend, 1. Before, i have ask for you : I want Related posts show text Automatically every post as https://prnt.sc/gwt7v2

2. How to update theme

Thank you !!!

Hello freeall,

For the related posts, I had sent you a single.php file for child theme. See email dated Oct 15. May be you haven’t checked it.

In order to update the theme, repalce wp-content/themes/newsplus/ with the latest one using FTP or File Manager of your Hosting. Your custom changes to core files shall be added in a child theme.

Regards

Hi all, thanks for your theme.

These my questions:

- in the mobile version the menu is displayed twice

- in the mobile version the logo is very big (entire width on mobile phone), can I reduce it?

- I have a simple Text block with a text list with the agenda that is displayed in box. I want to allow a editor user to update the content without force him to go in the page and in the block. Is it possible to update the content in some way (from an external resource or with other workaround)?

Thanks a lot mc

Hello Maria,

I just checked the site. The menu is not displayed twice. It is actually the main menu followed by the top optional menu. Since you have both menus same, it looks like the main menu is appearing twice. If you change the the top menu or remove it, you will only see one menu.

For the site logo width, kindly add these rules inside user.css or child theme’s style.css file:

@media only screen and (max-width:840px) {
  .full-width .brand { width: 23.5%; }
}

After saving these changes, check the site by clearing browser caches in mobile.

Regards

ok, thanks. If I remove the first menu bar I lose the search box, can I add this to the second one?

I received the email message that the Theme has been updated. How can I proceed? Do you lose the settings?

I want to add a fix box with just three lines and in every line the title of a post from a special categories. I tried with “List Post Blog” but they are displayed verticaly. How can I list these posts row by row and keep fixed the same height from the box in the left part of the container? Thanks

Hello Maria,

Please find my answers below:

1. You need not hide the entire top bar. Only change the menu for “Top menu” location inside Appearance > Menus. Or if you want to hide the menu but keep the top bar (with search box in it), navigate to Appearance > Theme Options > Header > Top Navbar Settings > Top Left callout section. From this option, choose “Text Content”. Then provide a custom text inside “Top left Callout Text”. Next, save settings.

2. Please check documentation/index.html file’s Frequently Asked Questions > 11. How to update the theme.

3. Do let me know how many columns you want per row. Do you want to show image or only the title? I will then suggest appropriate shortcode.

Regards

Hi, I click “Show a readmore link” in “Archive Settings” but why “Single post” have “readmore” in “Related posts”. Ex : https://khoedepnews.com/uong-sua-bau-dung-cach-khi-mang-thai-khong-phai-bau-nao-cung-biet.html. And I want remove “Post Views” the end post

Thanks so much ^^ !!!

1 You misunderstanding me, i want Related posts show text Automatically every post as https://prnt.sc/gwt7v2

2. I Want top button as image : https://khoedepnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/gototop.png

3. I want delete breadcrumbs title post as : https://prnt.sc/gwt5s8 . And change font size title, color title post

4. Title widget Footer is home so “bold”

Hello,

1. Such related posts will require some customization in theme core files. i.e. calling the related posts or a post module inside single.php file with changed styles. You can email me at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com for this modification. Kindly send me the login details for this task.

For #2, #3 and #4, add these rules inside child theme’s style.css file:

.scroll-to-top a:before {
    content: "\f062";
    font-size: 1rem;
    line-height: 32px;
}

.scroll-to-top a {
    border-radius: 3px;
    width: 32px;
    height: 32px;
}

.single .breadcrumbs > li:last-child {
    display: none;
}

.sc-title { font-weight: bold; }

Regards

I sent email for you. My email:khoedepnews@gmail.com

Hi,

we have a bug regarding IE11, your theme and the KingComposer. If we want to add the “feature box” the editing modal loads, but with incomplete content. “Select Icon”, “Display Button”, “Text Button”, “Link Button” are missing and we have an JS error in the console: kc.params.js (827,9), The Object doesnt support the property or method “get”.

We have WP 4.8.2, KC Version 2.6.15 and NewsPlus Version 3.0.1. Could you please take a look?

Thank you in Advance

Best regards David

Hello David,

Today I got the reply from plugin author on email. He has assured me that he will test the plugin on IE and will update me.

Regards

Hi,

are there any updates regarding this bug?

Best regards David

Hello David,

Sorry brother, but I am not getting any reply from the plugin developer. If there is any fix for this issue, that will be released via KingComposer update. That update will not be in theme, as it is a plugin specific file. The limitation with free third party plugins is that we can not force them for a bug fix. The functionalities of KingComposer used in NewsPlus theme are for post shortcodes and columns. I hope at least those are working correct in IE?

If you have a particular feature box design to be used, please send me a link of such layout/design. I will add a new shortcode with simplified options that shall work in IE too.

Regards

HI,

I have recently updated my website so i can use king composer. However, i am having trouble with it rendering correctly on mobile. The Call To Action button is not working on the ipad. I there a workaround for this?

Renee

Yes the animation is what was causing it! Is there a way to disable is only on the ipad?

Kindly try by adding these CSS rules inside child theme’s style.css file:

@media all and (device-width: 768px) and (device-height: 1024px) and (orientation:portrait) {
    .kc-animated {
        /*CSS transitions*/
        -o-transition-property: none !important;
        -moz-transition-property: none !important;
        -ms-transition-property: none !important;
        -webkit-transition-property: none !important;
        transition-property: none !important;
        /*CSS transforms*/
        -o-transform: none !important;
        -moz-transform: none !important;
        -ms-transform: none !important;
        -webkit-transform: none !important;
        transform: none !important;
        /*CSS animations*/
        -webkit-animation: none !important;
        -moz-animation: none !important;
        -o-animation: none !important;
        -ms-animation: none !important;
        animation: none !important;
        opacity:1;
    }
}
@media all and (device-width: 768px) and (device-height: 1024px) and (orientation:landscape) {
  .kc-animated {
        /*CSS transitions*/
        -o-transition-property: none !important;
        -moz-transition-property: none !important;
        -ms-transition-property: none !important;
        -webkit-transition-property: none !important;
        transition-property: none !important;
        /*CSS transforms*/
        -o-transform: none !important;
        -moz-transform: none !important;
        -ms-transform: none !important;
        -webkit-transform: none !important;
        transform: none !important;
        /*CSS animations*/
        -webkit-animation: none !important;
        -moz-animation: none !important;
        -o-animation: none !important;
        -ms-animation: none !important;
        animation: none !important;
        opacity:1;
    }
}

This will disable animation for iPad devices in potrait and landscape mode. Make sure to clear all browser caches.

This is really kind of you, i am grateful as always for your time.

Thanks

Hello Sir,

I have purchased your theme 2 years ago and we are satisfy with the theme. http://www.selectionclic.com/ We are encline to buy the latest version to get new improvments.

The only bad point is the slider with the images loading. We have a delay before the sliders is fully load and this cause a bad user experience. Do you have any tips to improve this slider loading performance? Thank you very much Best Regards Stéphane

Hello Stéphane,

The latest version of theme has slider triggering on document.ready event (unlike window.load). So it will load simultaneously while your other content is loading. You can check the example at http://labs.saurabh-sharma.net/themes/newsplus/demo-3/home-8-sb/

Hi,

Is there a way to increase the distance between each widget on the sidebar? If i don’t have the writing they go pretty much butt up against each other.

https://www.closeenoughtokiss.co.uk/what-know-about-parenting/

Thanks

Hello renal78,

Kindly add this CSS rule inside WordPress admin’s Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

.widget { margin-bottom: 20px; }

Then click on “Save and Publish” button at the top. Next, clear all caches of caching plugins and check the site.

Regards

As always THANKYOU!

Hi,

Would you be able to tell me why my images are smaller than the actual size?

http://www.closeenoughtokiss.co.uk/about/

I have tried to resolve this in them options> image sizes but that hasn’t rectified this?

They were fine until i did the most recent update.

Thanks

Hello renal78,

The images on your “About” page are inserted manually. They also contain some extra code. (May be inserted via some image plugin). In either case, when you insert images using “Add Media” of WordPress, make sur to choose large size for image. If you choose medium or small, they will show in smaller size.

The theme option image sizes applies for archive posts and single posts, not on images inserted manually in pages.

Hi Sharma,

How can I add Footer? In widget there is no footer is available.

Thanks, I added text as you said. What I want is to add a tag cloud, Facebook page like and some links in between the line which appears top of the footer.

Pls refer my site – https://www.ashfaskitchen.com/

You can add those inside Appearance > Widgets. There you shall see “Default Secondary Column 1”, 2, 3 and so on, depending upon how many secondary columns are chosen from Theme Options > Footer settings. In that widget area you can add widgets as required.

Regards

Thanks Sharma, Got it

Hi, I’m looking to solve a small thing.

I recently installed RSS Aggregator to make posts via RSS. I set it so that post titles link to the original source. However the target is not set to blank.

In the theme code, I found out how to set targets to blank however, I could not find the code for the post-list shortcode.

I was wondering if you could help me find this piece of code, and also if there might be a way to create a custom conditional statement that can set post title links to blank only for certain categories of posts (which I will have predefined).

Hello LeadSpark,

If you are using latest version of theme and the NewsPlus shortcodes plugin, modifying the post-list shortcode is easy. You need to copy the following file:

wp-content/plugins/newsplus-shortcodes/shortcodes/newsplus-post-templates/list-small.php

Into the theme folder as:

wp-content/themes/newsplus/newsplus-post-templates/list-small.php

Then edit this file and add the target blank at line no. 92 just after the href=”xx”. To limit it on particular categories we need to check using in_category() function. For that code, please send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com. I will send the code.

Regards

Hi,

Can you help with my logo sizing? I have looked at the comments and done the suggested edit in the style css to get my logo to 50%.

However its not working. I have tried both adding the suggested coding to the bottom of the css and altering the css itself to reflect the 50% logo and leaderboard, but nothing changes unless i go ‘full-width’ then the leaderboard disappears.

My website is www.closeenoughtokiss.co.uk

Thanks

Hello,

Kindly add these rules inside Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    #header .full-width .one-fourth {
        width: 50%;
        max-width: 50%;
    }
}

Then save these changes and check the site by clearing all caches of browser and caching plugins.

Regards

Thankyou so much, as always you are super helpful.

It looks great on desktop, and mobile but on ipad it’s small. It there a fix for this?

Hi, I am from Russia. I can’t find, where and how I can change fonts for this theme. Especially, I want to change fonts of menu and fonts of posts.

Hello rrubashkin,

Thank you for purchasing the theme. In order to change the font, you need to first load the Google font in theme options. For that, navigate to WordPress admin’s Appearance > Theme Options > Custom Font. Inside “Font Family” field, provide the Google font family string. This would look something like below:

Open+Sans:400italic,600italic,700italic,400,600,700

You can generate the font family from Google Fonts Site.

After adding font family, add necessary CSS inside “Additional CSS” section. In your case, the CSS would be the following:

.nav-menu { font-family: "Font Name"; }
#content { font-family: "Font Name"; }

Finally, Save settings and check the site. If you find any difficulty, feel free to send me a mail at xconsau[at]gmail[dot]com.

Regards
