How easily would I be able to migrate from Newspaper to this theme?? Is this the next generation of Newspaper?

Hi,

1. You can check the thread starter here – http://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-guide-to-moving-from-newspaper-to-newsmag/ (you have to be logged in to view it)

2. No, it’s just another theme with a different design.

Thank you, Emil G.

I recently purchased this and I would like to say that this is the best product I bought here. Hands down. Setting up is fairly easy with no problems so far. Love the designs. I do have a question though, on the front page. How do i change so that each block (gadget of the week, best smartphones, more new news, etc..) would post each category.. rather than it posting all the recent ones. thanks!

Hi,

You have to select a category for each block from the block settings panel – http://screencast.com/t/CcOLdxAy

If you use the Article list template you have to select a category from the Article List setup section – http://screencast.com/t/jhqUIJAtzv9

Thank you, Emil G.

ahhh! Everything makes sense now. Thanks for the help and the quick reply!

Hello tagDiv team, can I have an option to change the post view counter by unique visitor? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi,

It’s only possible with custom modifications on the code, or by using a plugin that may do that, unfortunately i cannot recomend you one because i didn’t do any tests with such a plugin. If you can’t find one my suggestion is to hire a professional developer to build this feature for you.

Thank you, Emil G.

hello, where can I put this in theme for featured Image wherever your theme uses the built-in WordPress function “the_post_thumbnail” the video thumbnail will be displayed automatically.

Hi,

Not sure what you mean, the featured image can be added on post pages – http://screencast.com/t/nQ1XyRFtSY0

Please provide more details, some images may help.

Thank you, Emil G.

Sorry My Mistake I Purchase One Plugin In That When Video Post Plugin has same featured like your you tube video link post auto get thumbnail for featured images right now when I post this theme video post but thubnail not getting recived so I request the plugin developer too loon into so he reply “This option will display or hide the video thumbnails provided by YouTube®. If you choose yes, wherever your theme uses the built-in WordPress function “the_post_thumbnail” the video thumbnail will be displayed automatically.” so how can I make this happen in our theme

Hi,

The theme uses a custom function to display the thumbs – http://screencast.com/t/d8Ipm2rpm6UD

I guess you have to modify it in order to work, or replace it with another in the following files – http://screencast.com/t/9qHG0m8H

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi Emil, amazing theme. Pre purchase question Is it possible add widget that will show last post from authors like this? http://screencast.com/t/0JJpwC9jWj on every news or magazine website that witget is necessary

Hi,

The theme doesn’t come with such a widget, sorry, we have it on our list for a future update.

Thank you, Emil G.

Im having problems embedding tweets, how can i do it?

Hi,

You have to take the embed code – http://screencast.com/t/FhnXkOXdKAlhttp://screencast.com/t/DxkiRyJnbCl

And paste it into the post like this – http://screencast.com/t/xITVIC9jcH

Result – http://screencast.com/t/tG1fR9t0v

Thank you, Emil G.

Is there a way i can get dimensions of the background ad? I would like to have items on left n right sides of content areas displayed as a background ad but i have no idea of the dimensions. Would you guys consider including image that shows the dimensions that i could maybe open and modify .psd? please let me know, thank you.

Hi,

You could check this image – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_fashion/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/fashion-bg.jpg

It’s used here – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag_fashion/td-post-taylor-swifts-stylish-separates-in-germany-shop-them-here/

You basically have to take into consideration the width of the content area which is 1021px wide

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, for some reason my inline ad only shows width ad and right side ad. but i want to inline to left side. Hope you can help me, thank you.

Hi,

I’ve tested it on my side and if i set it to be displayed on the left – http://screencast.com/t/ralTvqaPcVn , it looks like this – http://screencast.com/t/Kos5M4JN

What ad and settings did you used?

Thank you, Emil G.

Your theme is perfect for my needs aside from the fact that it is too narrow :-( I’ve seen other people mention that being an issue as well. If you do plan on giving users the flexibility to choose a wider grid (at least 1140px), and release an update with that option, I will purchase this immediately.

Hi,

Unfortunately for the moment we don’t plan to add more width options, sorry.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, I bought the theme. I noticed that it has a bug that I’d like to help me fix: when I insert links related to information such as users, etc .. the theme automatically precedes the url link with the extension of the portal by creating a problem. Example: If I want to insert the link to the facebook theme fits: www.dominio.com/www.facebook.com/xxxxxxxx

Help.

Hi,

You have to add the entire url – ex. http://www.facebook.com/xxxxxxxx

Thank you, Emil G.

Bug with Social Counter..

i put my twitter profile (11k follower) and signs 0 (zero)

putting another username with less follower works goog.

how to fix?

Hi,

Please provide more details, what version of theme and plugin do you use?

Thank you, Emil G.

last version of theme and plugin

1.4 theme 2.8 plugin

Hi,

Do you use a cache plugin? try to disable it and make some tests, try to use another id – ex. envato – and see if it displays properly, then revert back to your id. The id used should be the one that comes after the twitter.com/ url – http://screencast.com/t/fjFeCjwlY

If nothing works please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation and provide wp-admin access so i can take a look.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,

I would like to change button pagination like this one http://imgur.com/HDYKpMY

Or maybe put background highlight color on word “next” or “previous”

Help please

Hi,

That’s only possible with custom work (modifications on the code), you can find the code here – http://screencast.com/t/NP7N22ZOYvjL If you don’t have programming experience i suggest that you hire a professional developer to build it for you. You can also ask this question on the forum ( forum.tagdiv.com ) , you may get some suggestions from the comunity, this section is more intended for presale questions, not customization issues.

Thank you, Emil G.

This theme looks great. Before I purchase, I have been through your portfolio and see that you have something called Newspaper as well. What is the difference between the two themes?

Hi,

Newspaper has Buddypress support but we plan to add it to Newsmag too. The design and width of the content area are different, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other. Newsmag has a sticky sidebar, smart lists, news ticker. Unfortunately we don’t have a comparison chart, but you could check the demos and each of the themes presentation page for more details.

Thank you, Emil G.

Featured image dimensions on post are different.. how to crop all to the same measures?

?!?

Hi,

Not sure what you mean, do you use identical images and they are cropped to different sizes? Make sure thumbs are generated, use the Force Regenerate plugin to regenerate all thumbs and check if the issue is still there.

If you need control over the size of the featured image on post pages you have to modify the thumb used on it – http://screencast.com/t/NyjD6wD0zUw The thumbs sizes are defined in td_config.php – http://screencast.com/t/rG0S5Kg6cd , after a change you have to regenerate the thumbs. Note that other templates may use a different thumb – http://screencast.com/t/3iCRlXeaqa

Thank you, Emil G.

ok.. problem is on 0 (zero) height.. i need to set a value (for example 320)..

at che moment i have, for example all cropped to 640 width, but different heights..

640×320, 640×400, 640×425.. etc..etc..

so, if i change to 640 w and 320 h, in td_config.php and regenerate thumbs.. i get all at che same size..?!?

Hi,

Yes, it will regenerate all images to the new parameters, change only the height and width, leave the other parameters unchanged – http://screencast.com/t/PlIID0Cu

Thank you, Emil G.

Do you have an example of bbPress on this theme?

Hi,

Not yet but we’ll add a demo soon, sorry for the delay.

Thank you, Emil G.

Before you all freak out Slider Revolution has had this patched already…

Hi,

we have the latest version of Slider Revolution and we upload the fixed one, some time ago.

Radu O.

The new update has a new plugin call RevSlider which had a MASSIVE compromise just last month.

Did you not know this?

Why did you add this plugin?

Do we have to install it or lose some features?

Can you find a replacement instead?

Here are some articles: http://blog.sucuri.net/2014/12/revslider-vulnerability-leads-to-massive-wordpress-soaksoak-compromise.html

http://community.1and1.com/soaksoak-malware-exploiting-vulnerability-in-revslider-wordpress-plugin/

Hi,

It was an old issue with older versions of the plugin (4.1.4 and older), they fixed this in version 4.2., you can check the discussions at the bottom of the articles provided by you and it’s also stated on the plugin official page – http://screencast.com/t/Mfc2F7NS

The theme comes with Revolution Slider 4.6.5 so it sould be no problem. Also, the plugin is optional, it’s not required by the theme.

Thank you, Emil G.

I have a problem with lightbox…

i use Simple Lightbox plugin so on post, when i i put images with link to image, clicking on i have lightbox effect. but i have a double loading image.

one time with plugin, one time by theme…

deactivating plugin.. if i click on image.. i go out post, without plugin effect..

how to disable double lightobox effect?

Hi,

You can doit from Theme Panel -> Post Settings -> Featured images – http://screencast.com/t/oXUF0GJflxt

Thank you, Emil G.

yes, but i still have problem on galleries..

if i disable carousel.. i still have two lightwox (mfp gallery and simple lightbox) so every image gallery opens two times (one on another)

if i disable simple lighbox i have only mfp lightbox on gallery, but if i have a single image on post linked to image file, it’s open fullsize out from post… so i need to click on back arrow to return to post..).

how to apply mfp gallery lightbox effect also to all single images on posts?

Hi,

You have two plugins that basically do the same thing, you have to check their settings to see if they can work together or else you have to remove one of them. For the images included in the post content area you could use the modal that comes with the theme – http://screencast.com/t/xuOIqrf8Yfbwhttp://screencast.com/t/JDo1KTbt6 , unfortunately for the moment this option doesn’t work on pages.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello, this theme latest updates it seems very various from the previews version in functions.php

Issue : http://screencast.com/t/WkGk0ESOhgy1

The functions.php it’s complete different from the theme previews version. I have my website closed since last night because I can’t make the images on 220X220 on module 11. Could you please explain me what files need to edit now? Was very easy before. Please explain me how to fix this and open up again my website.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

We had to make some optimizations, the thumbs are defined inside td_config.php – http://screencast.com/t/lsZkkJ0AT

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, I got the detailed fix inside your support forum.

You are very professional and well done! Im very happy with the them and performance, its really worth the buy from you.

Good luck all the best

Hi there, Newsmag is such an amazing theme! I´m preparing to install it and I wanted to ask you: 1) The category layouts will only show posts by category? (I mean no subcategories and/or tags?) 2) What does block content will show? (I mean if I’ll be able to include posts from categories, subcategories, and/or tags) Thanks in advance for your response, can´t wait to install it!

Hi again Emil, how can I add pagination on an Authors page? I have many, so when adding Authors Box I end with I really long list, and wish I could show – for example – the first 10 (and move forward the list trough the pagination).

Hi,

Author page comes with pagination by default – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/author/admin/

Do you refer to a custom page or block? please provide more details. Unfortunately the author box doesn’t come with pagination, sorry, i’ve added you suggestion on the list and i’ll talk with the team to see if we can implement something like that in a future update.

Thank you, Emil G.

I mean like having an “Authors directory” (a page just with the authors box, like http://desarrollo.profesionistas.org.mx/colaboradores/). If it’s not possible for now, thanks for adding it to the list. Thansk Emil
