Hello,

Is it possible to insert 728×90 or any other banner under the top headlines, before the sidebar starts?

Hi,

1. You have to modify the code that brings the image on the post page and you’ll also need modifications on the modules used by the theme, it’s not an easy task, so i suggest that you hire a professional developer to make all those modifications for you.

An alternative would be to use a plugin that sets the first image from a post as featured image (you can select all posts that don’t come with a featured image) – ex. https://wordpress.org/plugins/quick-featured-images/

2. There’s a max-height limit set on it – http://screencast.com/t/V7fQVlUC , try to increase it using custom css:

@media (min-width: 1200px){
.td-header-sp-logo img {
max-height: 100px;
}}

Add it inside Theme Panel -> Custom CSS, it will only affect the desktop value.

Thank you, Emil G.

I understand, thank you for your help. The change for # did not work but I think I am doing something wrong so I will check your documentation.

When I change background color, it also changes color behind the logo, anyway to prevent that from happening? Since the theme is all white, I want separate topbar, logo from background and add dropshadow.

Hi,

please give me an url so that I can have a look and see the exact spot for the background color.

I don’t have an author page. When I click on an author’s name on a post from my site http://techmymoney.com I get redirected to the home page. Please how do I fix this?

Hi,

It may come from the permalinks or a plugin that interferes with them. Try to disable all plugin except for Visual Composer, update the permalinks (Settings->Permalinks-> and just hit the save button) and see if the issue is still there.

Thank you, Emil G.

Congratulations on the subject.

How do I change the dimensions of the block?

Ex: Block 7 -> 100×75 -> 214×317

Hi,

Block_7 uses Module_6 which uses the td_100×75 thumb – http://screencast.com/t/hTBHlDO2 The thumbs are defined in td_config.php – http://screencast.com/t/yzXWEbVSV You have to either change the thumb used on Module_6 or modify the size of the td_100×75 thumb in td_config.php and regenerate all thumbs using the Force Regenerate plugin.

Thank you, Emil G.

Very messy on “facebook share”

When you click on facebook button, here the screenshot :

http://imgur.com/imsfA5j

you’ll see red circle ” share on facebook,Twiter on” and how to remove those words?

If you do test, put 1 picture on 1 single post without putting any description: You will see like this : Share on facebook,twitter on,previous article,next articles on so on,which is messy too,its not good to look on facebook.

So how to remove ” share on facebook,twitter on” when we click facebook button to share on facebook? cause will look clean, its already share on facebook why words of “share on facebook,twitter on” still there?

Hi,

By default facebook scans the page and takes whatever it finds (menu, tags, etc) and considers to be content. To avoid this you have to use Wordpress SEO by Yoast which creates a more accurate description or even allows you to set manually set one for each post. Facebook also creates a cache for each page/post you have on your site, if you modify the data and try to share the post you may end up with the same results because they come from their cache and the modifications made on your page are ignored. Facebook re-scans the pages from time to time, but if you want changes to apply faster you need to use their debugger – https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ , add a post link and press the Fetch New Scrape Information button – http://screencast.com/t/6ThyCswYLeZ

Thank you, Emil G.

I ‘ve already install yoast seo plugin but still same messy,is your demo got yoast? If you installed one why your demo messy on facebook sharing?

Hi,

Seo by Yoast is not installed on the official demo. Did you followed the instructions provided on my previous reply? Please provide the url so i can take a look.

Thank you, Emil G.

I see WooCommerce listed as past of this Newsmag theme with a graphic on the item details page; however, WooCommerce is not listed on the sidebar. Does this theme have WooCommerce. If not, will it be added and when?

I am deciding between NewsMag and Newspaper, as I am sure others are since both themes are great! I am starting a travel blog and plan to sell branded products such as travel pillows and sleep masks. It’s a new blog so WooCommerce isn’t not required today, but could be later this year.

Hi,

Yes it has Woocommerce support, we added it after we released the theme (in version 1.2) and forgot to update the sidebar data on the theme presentation page. We’ll fix it.

Thank you, Emil G.

Im so frustrated with the BLOCKQOUTE. WHY is the text so big? Could you please tell me how i can make it smaller or even change the color? It’s not good looking and i know you guys are busy with bigger things but this is quite important. the blockqoute is ridiculous could you please tell me how i can make it a bit smaller the text is GIGANTIC. it literally takes up whole page by the time a visitor scrolls half way through a small paragraph hes already gone because the text size is obsessive and to big. Hope i can get this figured out.

Hi,

Try the following css (modify it as you like and add it inside Theme Panel -> Custom CSS):

.td-page-content blockquote p, .td-post-content blockquote p, .mce-content-body blockquote p, .comment-content blockquote p {
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 25px;
color: red;
}
.td-page-content blockquote{
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 25px;
}

Thank you, Emil G.

what does the new api bring to us? does the theme load faster? please tell me so i can understand it. Thank you!

Hi,

the new api allows the theme to load only the needed blocks and modules. The site loads faster and with ~15% less memory and any user can now easily create new blocks via code. We plan to release the documentation for the new api shortly.

Radu O.

Hope to see Buddypress compatible for v1.5 then I ll begin my community access for viewers.

Hi,

We’ll start working on it, we’ll release it as soon as possible.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, on single post page, I have post date, beside the author name like this: “gen 8, 2015”. How can i change order, eg: day, month, year? and is there the chance to display full month name? eg: gennaio (italian) instead of “gen”. thanks.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi visual composer seems to don’t work properly on page building. It gives me graphic bug issues when try to move blocks. I see that in plugin settings it asks product license data but i did non retrieve it. How can i do?

Hi,

Check if you have the latest version of Visual Composer installed (4.3.5), if not download the theme latest version, the plugin is included in the Plugins folder – http://screencast.com/t/giXcNvAsymp

To update it follow this guide – http://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

Thank you, Emil G.

ok done. Thanks man.

Hi, for new posts i have always to debug before sharing to facebook page, as post image never appers (appears just after manually debugging). FB debugger, gives me this alert: “The meta tag on the page was specified with name ‘author’, which matches a configured property of this object type. It will be ignored unless specified with the meta property attribute instead of the meta name attribute.” – how can i solve that? Thanks

Hi,

Newer posts should get the proper meta information and facebook should index them properly. This may also depend on how the server is configure and if the information is served correctly to Facebook. Do you have Seo by Yoast installed? i

Thank you, Emil G.

yes SEO by yoast it’s installed

Hi,

Please provide the url here or via email at contact@tagdiv.com and i’ll look into it.

Thank you, Emil G.

hi~

I have another question. I want to hide POST VIEWS on ‘SLIDER’

I have checked ‘disable’ ‘SHOW POST VIEWS’ on Theme Panel POST SETTING.

But I see ‘POST VIEWS’ on slider.

How can I disable ‘SHOW POST VIEWS’ on SLIDER?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can only doit with custom css:

.td_normal_slide .td-slide-views {
display: none;
}

Add the css inside Theme Panel -> Custom CSS.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello there, I am just wondering what is the difference between your Newsmag and Newspaper theme? They look very similar.

Thanks

Hi,

The design and the width are different, some blocks are present on one and missing on the other, Bbpress and Buddypress support is only present on Newspaper, but we’re working to add them on Newsmag in the future updates.

Thank you, Emil G.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Which one is more advanced? Or. do you have a detailed sheet for comparing the two themes? Thanks.

Hi,

Newsmag is newer, the performance should be the same on both, they have a similar core. Unfortunately we don’t have a comparison chart, sorry.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello. Its possible to change Sort order in Block Settings to “most popular today / 24hours” ? Its some way to set it? Thank you.

Hi,

You could only modify the existing popular 7 days to work for 1 day – http://screencast.com/t/9Ug3NcS1DU

The alternative would be to create a separate function and a new option, you could look at the code used for popular 7 days. If you want this and you don’t have programming experience i suggest that you hire a professional developer to build it for you.

Thank you, Emil G.

hello!

i have a lot of error from google webmaster – structured data: Error: Missing required hCard “author”

http://grabilla.com/05108-726d008c-5974-44d9-971f-64eaeda2f996.png

Hi,

Did you disabled the Author box on posts? the hcard data is located in that section, we have this issue on the list and we’ll try to fix it.

Thank you, Emil G.

exactly, the author box is off but is active “show author name” you can disconnect “hcard” from author box?

Hi,

We’ll fix this in the next update, sorry for the delay.

Thank you, Emil G.

http://www.screencast.com/users/xlcrash/folders/Default/media/164c01de-3858-4b1b-80ef-396a2a834279

Coul you help me?

Hi,

Did you tested my instructions? if you did and there’s no result please provide the url so i can take a look, if you don’t want to post it here send it via email at contact@tagdiv.com

Thank you, Emil G.

you have mail!!!

Hi,

Replied via email with more details. Your server replies with code 304, it should reply with 200. Facebook cannot read the data, this is what he reads from your page. Check the server configuration or the plugins that may do this.

Thank you, Emil G.

hi, how can i enable disqus, i need it urgently in order to show old comments??

Hi,

You have to install the plugin and connect to your Disqus account – https://disqus.com/admin/wordpress/

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello, can i use this theme without slider revolution plugin? i read http://blog.sucuri.net/2014/09/slider-revolution-plugin-critical-vulnerability-being-exploited.html , worried about the viruses there…

Hi,

Yes, the plugin is optional, it’s not required by the theme.

That’s an old issue, it was fixed on versions that appeared after 4.1.4 – http://screencast.com/t/g8qBhIF7y

The theme comes with Revolution Slider version 4.6.5.

Thank you, Emil G.
