Hey,

i want to display this javascript automaticly below every post:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://assets-prod.vicomi.com/vicomi.js”></script>

Where do I need to add it?

Also, Is it possible to show the widget in excerpts of articles on the frontpage?

Thank you

Hi,

You have to edit the module files and add the code under the excerpt section – http://screencast.com/t/5bE6HmMPD7B

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi,

I’d like to post articles submitted by guest authors and I don’t want to create a user account for them. I used to be able to use plugins like this https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-post-author/ and https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-author-byline/ to overwrite the Author name displayed in the front end but these dont work with your theme. Any plugin you can suggest to achieve this or is there a way to change some code in your theme to get these plugins to work?

Hi,

Unfortunately i didn’t do any tests with such a plugin so i cannot recommend you one, sorry. I suggest that you post the same question on the forum section, you may get some feedback from someone who uses a similar plugin. You can also try to enable only Visual Composer and one of the plugins (disable the rest) and see if it works.

Thank you, Emil G.

hi, whenever I activate the speed-booster plugin, it breaks my old Gallery images in my old posts. So how do I get this fixed or make tagDiv_slideGallery my default Gallery so the all the posts with the old style Gallery will be changed to yours. The link below is the example of the broken Gallery. http://techmymoney.com/2013/12/03/lenovo-ideapad-yoga-2-pro-review/

Hi,

There’s no default option for galleries, sorry, you have to configure it manually for each post. The alternative would be to make a search and replace in the database but it’s a risky option so i suggest that you backup the database before trying this – https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/

Thank you, Emil G.

Never mind, i had an issue but i was confused and i got it fixed now

Hi, I need to add some code for Google Consumer Surveys but can’t find the tag in header.php. All I can see is: <body <?php body_class() ?> itemscope=”itemscope” itemtype=”<?php echo td_global::$http_or_https?>://schema.org/WebPage”>

Where do I place the code?

It’s ok, I’ve worked it out. It specifically goes after the code above.

Hi,

I’m glad that you managed to make it work, I will try to add more comments in the templates for easier customizations,

Hi Lucian, How do I add additional post social sharing buttons? I tried to follow your suggestion to edit td_module_single.php as per http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/9512331/comments?filter=all&site=themeforest.net&term=social+sharing&utf8=%E2%9C%93#comment_9233920 but td_module_single.php from the latest release of Newmag only contains this:

<?php

/** * Class td_module_single */

class td_module_single extends td_module_single_base {

}

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, the code containing the sharing buttons has moved to the td_module_single_base here: http://screencast.com/t/pndTvF94XC

Thanks Lucian C.

Hello, I installed the demo site with bbPress. When I want to log in to the forum with the link “Login / Register”, the screen goes dark and I do not have a window to identify. http://www.rcdubois.net/test2/forums/forum/premier-forum And when I identify and activate the visual editor of the forum, it is not displayed normally, but with a style with big black buttons. http://www.rcdubois.net/test2/defaut.jpg

Hi,

1. Please also try this without any plugins active and make sure you empty cache/purge files if you use CDN. I’ve also tested this using the latest theme version (1.6) and haven’t found any issues with this: http://screencast.com/t/u1XKarl93

2. Do you use a plugin for that as the default forum doesn’t have an option for that: http://screencast.com/t/kWvrZp35Js

Thanks Lucian C.

Without the visual editor there is no problem but with the visual editor buttons are large and black.

Hi,

Please provide more details about this issue, do you use a plugin/code for that section (visual editor)? If you do it requires css styling, we only stilled the default bbpress elements.

Thank you, Emil G.

On my site www.eliteenvy.com ever since the latest update two of my featured images aren’t showing up on my menu, any idea why?

Jacob

Hi,

Could you provide more details about this as I’ve checked your site and haven’t found anything wrong with your menu.

You refer to the mega menu as I’ve noticed that all thumbs are present there: http://screencast.com/t/e5uP3d8U

Please let me know!

Thanks Lucian C.

Hey,

I´ve got two questions:

how can i disable the search form of the menu for desktop and mobile?

how can i decrease the vertical size of the header? (Vertical space between top menu and main menu)

Thank you

Hi,

1. The theme doesn’t have an option to disable the search but you can remove this code to remove the search from the header menu: http://screencast.com/t/ykXWYaLppuz7

2. That header height is set by the content you use there so I need more details about this or provide your site’s url so I can inspect it. You could also try to use another header style: http://screencast.com/t/cqN7jEnux3

Thanks Lucian C.

Hi,

Can you make total share count in numbers like mashable website?

Thank you!

Hi,

Unfortunately the theme share system doesn’t have an option for that at this moment. I will add your suggestion on our feature request list though and consider this for future updates.

Thanks Lucian C.

hi there, how i can set a page with a select category of events?

You can explain me.

Thanks

Hi,

Not sure how you would want it but you could use VC page builder and the custom menu widget.

Create a menu from appearance > widgets using the WordPress menu system to add your categories then use the custom menu widget to get the menu on the page.

Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/hFgoicLP40

You could also try a plugin like The Events Calendar plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/

If this is not what you meant please let me know and provide more details.

Thanks Lucian C.

Hey.

Please. On the background ad, i have cursor (mouseover) as “arrow”, not “hand”. Its possible to fix it? Thank you.

Hi,

Please try this custom css and use in theme panel > custom css filed:

body {
cursor: pointer;
}
.container, .container.td-page-wrap {
cursor: default;
}

Thanks Lucian C.

Many thanks man! This is best supported theme. I am av ery satisfated customer.

How can I choose the articles to show in the top big grid in homepage? I need to handpick them, only being able to specify a category and a sorting order is too restrictive for me. For example, an older article could be more important than a new one, and I need to show it in the bigger block.

Thanks

Hi,

the theme does not support hand picked posts in slides / grids. You can try to filter them by using a tag and set the grid to only display that tag but the sorting order is a bit limited.

Hi, you are going to add a share button on WhatsApp on smartphone?

Hi,

This can be done via custom css, could you please provide your site’s url so I can inspect it and i’ll give you the right css for it. Use our email address if you want to send it in private: contact@tagdiv.com

Thanks Lucian C.

Sent email.

Hi,

Marius and Lucian are answering mails now (in order)... we will get to yours shortly.

Radu O.

In a future update can you add an option for no Smart list numbering?

Hi,

This is a very good suggestion and I’ve added it to our issue tracker.

Radu O.

in smartphones gallery not displaying properly, it is a problem or is your nomal way of seeing?

Please Might I review it, I would buy the theme but those details will not let me

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this, please give me the url that you tested and your smart phone type / version.

Radu O.

Hello Tagdiv, in your theme demo rating snippet is error in google rich snippet tools. here is your demo url link to rating post: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-viral-potato-salad-kickstarter-campaign-turned-into-something-really-tasteful/

So this time, i do not want to install your theme in my blog.

You can check your rating here and you will find there is missing tag there, so please check : https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

thanks.

Hi,

That tool is quite new… thanks for reporting this issue, I’ve added it to our issue tracker and I will fix it asap.

Radu O.

I am viewing this topic to buy and wonder if it is possible that social media icons appear on the photo of each item in the home, is it possible?

Thanks

Hi,

unfortunately that is not supported by default and the theme requires custom modifications for that to work.

Radu O.

Hi,

For the smart list function, are you going to add the option to reload the next slide without using ajax? I need that to get more page views per user. It’s understood ajax is faster and less http calls, but we need to get more page views.

Thanks.

HI,

I’m investigating this and I have this issue on my todo list for quite some time… unfortunately it’s not a simple matter and it will take me some time to implement it.

Radu O.

Thanks for the reply. I have one more. Sticky sidebar is not sticky on iPad. Could that be fixed or is it just normal in iPad?

Hi,

That is the normal behavior of it on iPad at the moment: http://screencast.com/t/p41ojtmh

Thanks Lucian C.

Wow I just ran GTMetrix and PageSpeed on your demo and you’ve sold me… as soon as BuddyPress support is released :) We currently run a magazine and I’m looking for an even faster theme with a good mobile layout and community support for our phase 3.

I’ve read your comments about BuddyPress being available in the next big update. I’ve got a couple pre-sale questions if you don’t mind:

  1. Will your version of Buddypress be as stylish as this? Specifically, we’re hoping that users can manage everything from the front-end so we don’t have to give them access to the wp-admin.
  2. Will it include album/media support or would that be handled by a plugin similar to rtMedia?
  3. Does your theme support Event plugins? If so do you have recommendations?
  4. Does your theme support Google authorship as well?
  5. We have over 2000+ posts on our current site, all with a feature image of 770px x 470px. If I upgrade to your theme, will it auto-resize the featured images to fit your dimensions of 640px x 400px?

Hi,

1. BuddyPress is on it’s way. Our buddy press style will be similar with the rest of the newsmag theme. 2. we have some custom galleries: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-this-is-the-recipe-for-a-perfect-vacation-apparently/ http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-hall-of-fame-the-limelight-isnt-always-fun/

3. We did not test the plugin recently and in general I cannot offer you a guaranteed response regarding 3rd party plugins. Our clients reported that the events plugin is working.

4. google authorship is discontinued: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6083347?hl=en

5. the theme does not auto resize thubnails. You will have to use a plugin for that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/

Hope this helps, Radu O.

It does thank you. Just a couple clarifications:

The media support, I meant for Buddypress. Will members have access to upload photos/media from the front end, or will that be handled by a plugin.

For the featured images, I meant will it scale the featured image to fit in that spot or does it do a hard crop? What happens if I upload a featured image bigger than 640×400?

hi,

1. BuddyPress by default does not support image uploads. Our theme styles the default installation.

2. the featured image will be cropped (smaller). WordPress does not support image scratching yet so it cannot make them bigger. Most of the theme’s blocks will look nice with 640×400 or bigger. The crop is made by copying the original image.
