Hi there! What are the main differences between Newspaper and Newsmag? They seem very similar.
Hi,
The functionality and performance are similar. The design and the content area width differs, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other. Newspaper comes with Buddypress support but we plan to add it in Newsmag too in a future update. We’re also working on a major update for Newspaper (v5.0) which it will be out in approx. 1-2 months. The choice depends on your needs.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi, I have a problem with the pictures, when the form of the article is video (picture 1 and 5).
http://s17.postimg.org/ni7ufj9qn/picture_1.jpg http://s17.postimg.org/fk8u0572n/picture_5.jpgFor example, the video have the picture 1, but in wordpress I see another picture (2 and 3).
http://s17.postimg.org/ohy5b8owf/picture_2.jpg http://s17.postimg.org/6qmiws9hr/picture_3.jpgWhen I put the link of the article on facebook, I see another picture, (picture 4).
http://s17.postimg.org/ovzhau8zz/picture_4.jpgand in the box more stories another picture (picture 6)
http://s8.postimg.org/3vxgi01cl/picture_6.jpgHi,
You have to use the normal url, not the youtu.be. The thumb is automatically retrieved from youtube, the video may have a different thumb that the image displayed on the video itself.
For Facebook share use Wordpress SEO by Yoast plugin, it adds the OG data. You may also have to wait a few days for Facebook to index the posts and retrieve the newly provide data (OG), if you want to speed up this process you could use their debugger – https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Thank you, Emil G.
Thank you very much Emil G!
Sorry Emil, but could you tell me which is the normal url and where should I paste it?
I try several times but I can’t fix it
Hi,
Use a default url, not the embed one, ex.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPna3oZJaIQ
Thank you, Emil G.
Thank you
Hi!
1 – I need to know if I can add multiple same style and position banners in the sidebar or only allows one. I need to get 10 banners and that appears one below the other.
2 – Does the system automatically optimizing images uploaded by the user? or should this adjust manually?
3 – the modules that appear in the home, are them optionals? I mean, can I choose which EDITOR PICKS (for example) not be displayed on the sidebar home?
4 – Where can I get a demo to instal it and makes some test before de purchase?
5 – does the theme comes with some charged news as a guide?
6 – requirements of the server to use?
thanks!
Hi,
1. It depends on the banners you want to add, you could use the text widget with html and add as many as you like. You could also use the theme custom ad spots but they are only 3 and if you want to add more you have to modify the theme code.
2. The theme doesn’t optimize images, it only uses the add_image_size() function to create the necessary thumbs used on modules/blocks and post pages.
3. The demo just come with examples, you can configure the main page content and the sidebar the way you like, you can chose which blocks are used on each area. The Visual Composer plugin which comes with the theme allows you to easily add and position elements on page. You could check the documentation to see how pages and other theme elements are set – http://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
4. Unfortunately we don’t have an admin demo, sorry, only the frontend demo is available.
5. It comes with an optional demo, it can be loaded from Theme Panel – http://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-the-demo-data/
6. It should work on any host that’s properly configured. For best performance i suggest that you follow this guide – http://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Thank you, Emil G.
hi, as you can do to make the titles look better on the big grid? a shadow to highlight the title …
Hi,
There’s a gradient on the big grid which should improve the title look, you can check how it looks without it – http://screencast.com/t/Cmw8BJZd – and with it – http://screencast.com/t/XHGUfSMsGcsz
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
Add the following css to Theme Panel -> Custom CSS and play with it’s values until you obtain a better contrast:
.td-big-grid-post .td-image-gradient:before{
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) 0%, rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7) 100%);
}
Start by modifying the 0.7(which means 70%) opacity on the second rgba.
Thank you, Emil G.
OK, Thank you !!!
Hi TagDiv. Love your themes – I’m using Newspaper for some of my other sites. Newsmag looks fresh as well.
Would it be possible for tags to have their own colours like categories do? Preferably through in-theme support, alternatively through custom CSS?
Hi,
The theme doesn’t have such a function, you could doit via custom css but it’s hard to target a specific tag because they don’t have any custom class. To fix this you gave to add a class to each element, try this modification – http://screencast.com/t/C12bjQPFrYx
http://pastebin.com/iwppPg7kAnd css:
.td-tags .tag1 {
background-color: red;
}
.td-tags .tag2{
background-color: blue;
}
.td-tags .tag3{
background-color: orange;
}
Result – http://screencast.com/t/rTI0TEsrOROx
Thank you, Emil G.
Thanks for the quick reply, Emil!
Not sure if it targets tag ID or name. If I have a tag called ‘Facebook’ (with the slug facebook and the ID=4 ), would it then just be the following code?
.td-tags .facebook {
background-color: #3b5998;
}
- And for each tag I want to style, I have to do the same. For all tags I don’t specify a colour, it will just be the default tag colour (gray, for instance)?
Hi,
My code was just an example, i used the tag name as a class, you could modify it to use the tag id as a class or something else. If you don’t specify a color it will load the default css which is gray.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi Emil,
So the code I wrote should work as it is?
Hi,
If you use “Facebook” as a name the class will also be named “Facebook”, you could use the browser inspector to check the classes.
Thank you, Emil G.
I’ve just bought the theme! I’ve looked in Newsmag > includes > modules, but I can’t find the file td_module_blog.php nor the subfolder module_modifier. I do, however, see those files in the Newspaper theme. Which file do I need to modify in Newsmag?
On Block 14, I want to replace function <?php echo $this->get_date();?>
with facebook button and twitter button.
How to call this social button on block 14?
Hi,
The social buttons included in the theme post area were built for post pages, they don’t work on modules. You have to create a new function or use a plugin with a shortcode to add share buttons there. Unfortunately i cannot recommend a plugin, but you could ask about this on the forum, there may be someone who uses such a plugin and can provide some feedback.
Thank you, Emil G.
Ok, which file should I edit to add new function for facebook plugin shortcode?
Hi,
You have to edit the module files – http://screencast.com/t/GdOcP4kagqy
Block 14 uses module mx1 – http://screencast.com/t/vScSnIjCEV
Thank you, Emil G.
thanks alot,good support indeed mate
Hi,
I updated the theme with latest style.css but still no overlay, so white headline text with any light background image does not show!
Hi,
Not sure to what you’re referring, please provide more details about this issue.
Thank you, Emil G.
Last time i commented on this you said it does have overlay (in comments): anyway, here: http://www.screencast.com/t/c2J845jghW
Hi,
The Big Grid comes with a gradient which should improve title display on all images, on your image it may be missing for some reason, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide the url so i can take a look. Also specify on what device and browser name/version you tested the page.
Thank you, Emil G.
How does this theme do well on pagespeed?
Do you use combined CSS and JavaScript for fast performance (minified JavaScript)?
Is the overall theme lightweight (css/js) loading? I like the style of this theme very much, but I’m hesitating between two themes. The other one I now it do well in in pagespeed (seo optimezed).. but this theme I couldn’t find any informatie about it.
Hi,
The theme was optimized for best performance, we also configured the server, you can find more information on this guide – http://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
For best SEO results we recommend using Wordpress SEO by Yoast plugin.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hello ! Perfect theme but I have a little problem. I use a custom font for < H 1 >, < H 2 >, < H 3 >, etc. It doesn’t load when I open my website with a mobile (ipad) but it works on a mac. Example : http://hejko.com/la-veille/premiers-noms-pour-le-worldwide-festival-sete-2015/
Hi,
The font may not be loaded because it’s delivered from another domain – http://screencast.com/t/xJcKJjgpXv The solution would be to place the font on the same location as the site or try this – http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co
Thank you, Emil G.
I found a problem with a gallery inside a smart list. Take a look at this article:
http://www.pensieriparole.it/magazine/2015031454/i-10-food-market-piu-belli-deuropaWhen viewed from a mobile phone, if you try to scroll through pictures, you end up scrolling through positions in the smart list. You need to block scrolling of smart lists items when the users scrolls a gallery.
Thanks!
Hi,
The smart list and gallery navigation are conflicting, we have it on our lists, it will be fixed as soon as we find a solution. Thanks for reporting this.
Have a nice day, Emil G.
Hello,
are you going to implement a feature so you can customize certain categories with a page builder (in this case visual composer)? I’ve seen this in another theme and according to your changelog, it seems you’re preparing for this option, too?
Hi,
We have it on our list but for the moment it’s not a priority, we have over 200 features on the list and we have to take them one by one. If we’ll find an acceptable solution we’ll implement it in a future update.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
I have deactivated all the ad banners on my website but still on the homepage I see an ad banner How can i get rid of it please?
http://hardwarestartup.io http://prntscr.com/6hfyqtThank you.
Hi,
I’ve checked your site but i see no banner, try to clear the cache or use another browser and see if it’s still there.
Thank you, Emil G.
How can I change the values of element style like “padding” and “border-radius” of all buttons/titles with a few lines of CSS command (ex: titles of menus, categories, tags, read more, latest articles, editor pics, related articles, more from author, etc.)
Example:
{
padding: 5px 15px;
border-radius: 0px;
}
They will look like more modern.
Hi,
You have to use the inspector on each element (button), look for the default css and create a new custom css with the parameters you want – http://screencast.com/t/hWtAmHNk
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/buttons-2/Thank you, Emil G.
First of all, congratulations for the theme! I believe it is a great theme in polishing stage. Differently of others complicated themes I’ve bought, this is versatile and easy to set up. With little web knowledge and some attention it is possible to make a great design for multiple purposes. Sincerely I recommend it for users like me who work with design but don’t know how to deal with HTML or CSS or don’t like it.
My question was not a complaint. It was just a suggestion for future updates. I’m aware of the procedure you explained to me; however I thought you had a list of all buttons (elements) used on that template.
Anyway, thank you for the theme and for your attention.
Hi,
The buttons come from Visual Composer, the small one has a 3px radius, the normal button has 4px and the larger one 6px, you could use a css like: – http://screencast.com/t/fYTe8NjeJhiH
.vc_btn {
border-radius: 0px !important;
}
The padding differs meaning you can’t add a certain value for all buttons, you have to add a specific one – http://screencast.com/t/aJX5rbHwA
Thanks for your suggestion, i’ve sent it to our designer.
Have a nice day, Emil G.
Hi,
The theme doesn’t deal with the avatar, you can change it from Gravatar or using a plugin like WP User Avatar.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi, this theme has a post format gallery?
thkns.
Hi,
Unfortunately no, it comes with a custom gallery – TagDiv Gallery – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-this-is-the-recipe-for-a-perfect-vacation-apparently/ , but it doesn’t come with a gallery post format option.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
So I purchased the font “Avenir Book” and i want to use that font for my website.
I downloaded it in the .otf. format and tried converting it to .woff using “http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator”, but it says that the font is blacklisted from font squirrel.
I tired a number of other ways to convert the font to woff, but no luck. Cant seem to figure out how to use this font.
How could I successfully use this font on this theme?
Hi,
You have to look for an alternative converter, unfortunately i cannot recommend one because i didn’t do any tests but you could search on google “otf to woff” and do some tests, i’m sure you’ll find something that will work.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hello,
Is it possible to include the facebook login on modal login of this theme?
Hi,
It’s only possible with custom modifications on the code, unfortunately it’s not an easy job and my advise is to hire a professional developer to doit for you. We would have gladly made it for you but for the moment we cannot offer custom work, sorry for this.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hello – I am new to premium themes.
Is there any way for someone to check my current site and let me know if this theme (and one of the layout options) would work for the sort of site I need to run?
I am not sure who else to contact for help before purchase. 
Thank you in advance!
Hi,
Unfortunately i can only offer technical assistance, i cannot offer advises on what will work best for your site, sorry. You have to take that decision yourself, or look for a marketing expert who can offer his expertise on what will work best for your particular case.
Thank you, Emil G.
Example: page with feed of articles in style M3. When you zoom in Chrome to 90% or less, design is crashed… :-/ Can you fix it please in next version? Thank you.
Hi,
Not sure what you mean, please provide more details.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
We have this issue on the list, we’re still looking for a solution. The issue is caused by the left 1px border and we cannot simply remove it. We’ll come with a fix as soon as we find a solution, sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
Can you tell me the location of the code that makes the sidebar stick? I am just trying to make it so smart-sidebar will be active for some categories only.
Thanks!
Great! Thanks.
