Hi,

the light box has to be activated on each image http://forum.tagdiv.com/image-lightbox/

I know it would be nice to activate it site wide and I do have this task on my todo list for quite some time :|

Radu O.

Ok friend , thank you for attention!

You guys are great !

I look forward to the launch of the Newspaper 5.0 !

Hi there,

I have Newspaper 4 and by far, nothing compares. We are so happy with the performance of the theme.

We now have a new magazine site to build and would like to know the difference in controls with NewsMag vs. Newspaper 4. Please advise.

Also, how can I have adverts inserted into the centre of a post? I know there are plugins but quite frankly, nothing beats TagDiv technology and class – heck, we love you guys!

Here’s what we’ve doe with your product – it’s awesome:

Hi,

The two themes are similar, the main difference is that NewsMag is not that wide and this provides a lot of advantages when writing articles (for example pictures are easier to use with the smaller width, it’s also easier to make the texts to look nice).

Also Newspaper 5 should be out in one month as a free update. It will be the most advanced and well tested theme we ever made.

For ads in posts we have this in the panel: http://screencast.com/t/wrtudL3iP It will inject an ad after a number of paragraphs.

Hope this helps, Radu O.

Hello, How do I to change the cursor of mouse on lists style?

Hi,

can you please give me more details? A link with a sample list would help a lot!

Radu O.

Can I use the top menu with news/fashion etc of the “version default”, and list the images as in the “tech version”, I mean just 3 featured images?

Hi,

if should be possible. The homepage content is made from ‘blocks’ and each block works on 1 – 2 or 3 columns. The blocks can be mixed and mached to form the homepage.

The blocks that can be used to make homepages:

Radu O.

Ok If I buy the theme you aid me to build like these? (3 featured images like in the “tech version”, but in the “default version”.

Hi,

Yes, i can show you how the page blocks are set – http://screencast.com/t/6R6GZBa7V – it works the same for the default version.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hi, my site is http://gratifyr.com and my default theme color is: #c41a00

how to make footer link color transition from #fff to #f8f793 ??

I tried added this code into advance css, it works fine for popular category widget which only shows link. But it doesn’t work well for “even more news” widget. For some reason if i hover the box, the link will turn into #c41a00 not #f8f793.

.td-footer-container a:hover{ color: #f8f793 !important; }

2. How to add latest article loop under article post?? I want to make it show latest article loop like in this homepage, but put it after comment section in article post. http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/homepage-loop/

Hi,

1. also add this css: (also in chrome you can use this for hover debugging: http://screencast.com/t/4Hm0CxYvG )

.td_module_wrap:hover a {
color:#f8f793 !important;
}

2. unfortunately that is not possible without custom modifications since the theme was not designed to work like that. But it is a grate suggestion and I’ve added it to our issue tracker.

Hope this helps, Radu O.

1. thanks, it’s working fine now

2. ahh that’s too bad, i thought it can be done by copying homepage loop function and paste it to single.php to mimick the loop result.

Hi 1. Can I have the header ad at the very top above the top menu?

2. I notice that when I am in Firefox and also in ipad I have a problem with the main menu If a menu item has a submenu under I can click the submenu items but the main/top menu item is not clickable http://www.screencast.com/t/QetScUko9vr Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Hi zoedesign, 1. The theme has style 4 http://screencast.com/t/6mkpi05f2j2 that is similar with what you requested but unfortunatly it’s not over the top black menu.

2. We generally recommend to not use links in the main menus and use # as a url instead as we use on our demo. The double touch (and go to url) solution that is used sometimes is not very user friendly either (as it’s not easy to close a menu once it’s open). We are still searching for a better alternative for this on touch devices.

Thanks for the message, Radu O.

Hi there,

How can someone “sign in” to the site? http://s10.postimg.org/5jnf5ig09/image.jpg

hi, You can enable and disable the sign in link from here: in Theme panel -> header -> http://screencast.com/t/vijHDc2Kaqu .

The link from your screenshot should open a modal window that asks for login information. If it dosn’t work, please give me an url. If you want in private you can contact us at: contact@tagdiv.com but please paste your message from here in the email also.

Radu O.

Thanks a lot!

hello,

what’s difference between newsmag and newspaper?

Thank You and regards!

Hi,

The functionality and performance are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another, newspaper’s grid width is 1170px while newsmag’s width comes around 1021px. Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, as well as some other features like smart sidebar feature or smart lists or some of the post templates. 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

Is TagDiv Staff planning to add other blocks in the next update. Thanks

Hi,

We plan to add new blocks in a future update but for the moment it’s not a priority so they won’t be added in the next update, sorry. We’re also working on a documentation on how to add a new block/module for users who want to create their own blocks/modules.

Thank you, Emil G.

Hello , I’m with a problem when using the smart list in posts , the adsense blocks does not appear . You know what I can do to fix it ?

Hi,

The smart list content is built differently from the default post content so the ads aren’t included. We’ll have this in consideration for future updates.

You can also use your ad box’s short-code to place the ad into an smart list item/slide, like this: http://screencast.com/t/16BqeAnksD or you can place the ad short-code before and after the smart list content, like this:

- top: http://screencast.com/t/wSQU1KW6Izh

- bottom: http://screencast.com/t/XdaMcMoK

Thanks Lucian C.

Hello, I´m in doubt in buy Newsmag or Newspaper, I wish to know if Newsmag (tech version) accepts ads in the middle of the content of the homepage, as occurs with Newspaper theme.

Hi,

The newsmag tech stack is the same as the original theme version only the stack is built using different theme settings to give it the appearance suited for a tech version and yes you can also use ads anywhere you want in the content of your homepage using the Visual Composer page builder.

Thanks Lucian C.

Hello, when I active the speed booster plugin, my custom CSS delay to load. Is it normal?

Hello, when I active the speed booster plugin, my custom CSS delay to load. Is it normal?

Hi,

Yes, the speed booster plugin moves js/css resource files to the footer so js scripts or css stylesheets and the theme generated custom css will load later therefore creating this unstyled appearance while your custom chosen style is loading.

Another approach regarding this would be to make all your appearance changes to theme’s style.css file so that your chosen style loads like default.

For example if you set a different theme accent color then edit your style.css file and replace all references to the default theme color and replace it with the one you want. You can find more info related to that here: http://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/about-default-theme-colors/ Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thanks Lucian C.

social counter not updating? vapeaboutit.com the frontpage social add/counter isn’t updating to the real number, its stuck on 95 fb likes for example, we have over 300

Hi,

I’ve tested this using the latest version of the social counter plugin (2.9) and various facebook id’s and found no issues however using your facebook id the counter isn’t updating.

What version of the social counter do you use? Could you please also test this using other facebook id’s and see how it goes and if your’re not using the latest version of the social counter plugin please update it from the /plugins folder that was provided within the theme’s files and make sure it’s the latest version.

Let us know how it goes and if you still can’t manage to solve this please give wp-access so we can have a closer look and send your wp-admin login details via email at contact@tagdiv.com and also provide a link to this conversation so we can know who you are.

Thanks Lucian C.

Hi,

I seem to be having issues with canonical URLs. I’ve replicated the site on a different platform with a different theme, and the issue was fixed. Do you think it’s the Newsmag that might be causing the issue?

Please take a quick look here, view page source: http://topdogtips.com/store-provides-pet-owners-healthier-products-unique-way/

Note the canonical URL has a DOUBLE path to the article, and that’s what Google indexes.

Any help? Thanks guys!

Hi,

Not sure what you mean as I’ve checked your page source code and found just one instance of the canonical ulr: http://screencast.com/t/AV84SCrzN

If possible, please provide more details about this?

Thanks Lucian C.

Hello. A per-purchase question. When I look at your NEWSPAPER theme, I see examples of various pages (404, Archive, Galleries, and so on), different Category layouts, examples of Shortcodes, and examples of Posts (paralax, modern look, tiled galerie, and so on). But I don’t see any of these in Newsmag theme. Do you have all these elements in this theme or Newsmag is just a bare bones theme?

Are all these features available in the Tech stack, because I didn’t see them there?

The Features menu is missing in the Tech stack.

Hi,

Yes, all theme’s features are present in tech stack also. The tech stack is just an predefined selection of theme’s settings it just uses another menu structure and items to better represent the tech scope.

Thanks Lucian C.

i’d like the comments section to appear above the previous article and next article on the posts page. how do i do this?

Hi,

Edit the

single.php
post template file and comment or remove the comments template line, for all cases, like this: http://screencast.com/t/gmrhI9TMal9n ..then add the comments template line in the
loop-single.php
file, before the next/prev post function, like this: http://screencast.com/t/slxp4muEJB

Add this line, like formatted here:

<?php comments_template('', true); ?>

You should get this result: http://screencast.com/t/FSn6CJjV4ra

Please note that this will only apply to the default post template for other post templates you need to alter the other template files: http://screencast.com/t/mfATTFDrM

I am using MailPoet and would like to create a popup for the widget. Is that possible?

Hi,

Not sure what you mean . Are you referring to the mailpoet subscription form for your newsletters widget? You can check plugin’s support page for that: https://support.mailpoet.com/knowledgebase/subscription-forms/ Hope this helps!

Thanks Lucian C.

Hello,

Having some issues with my page, www.yycnow.com

So when i refresh or load the page, the top bar comes up as black then goes to red? you know why this is happening?

Thanks

Hi,

That behavior is due to your chosen theme settings for which the them generates an extra css on page which when the page loads is applied in cascade, first the original/default style of the theme is loaded then your customized style loads that’s why this occurs. This could be avoided if you change/replace the original theme color with your chosen color directly in the style.css file of the theme and using a text editor with find and replace search after #222 or #222222 – this is the default theme color and replace it with your color.

The loading issue of your iamges is due to the lazy loafing feature which we have include in the latest version of the theme (1.7). Thsi featuyre waits for all the image to load then it apply an animation effect on them which will turn off the opaciti9y on iamges you scroll donwe the page.

Currently we are working on addin and option to turn the lazy laofin effect on/off and other option for this featyres. This will be availabe from theme;s next version.

If you don’t need/want this feature you can use the custom css from below to make the images load with the page.

Add the css below in the custom css section on theme panel:

.td-animation-stack .entry-thumb, .post img {
opacity: 1 !important;
}

..or to apply this just on mobile use the one below:

@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-animation-stack .entry-thumb, .post img {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
}

The theme is test and works fine on Mac’s Safari version you can test our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/ ..but not on windows Safari version. If you refer to Safari version for Windows please note that it was abandoned in 2012 and does not support the latest web tech.

Thanks Lucian C.

Is it possible to disable Lazy Load, on mobile its really really slow

Hi,

If your’re using the latest theme version (1.7.1) you can find the option to disable the lazy loading animation from theme panel > template settings: http://screencast.com/t/rAtulV9Q

If you are still on version 1.7 of the theme, please update it to have this option in theme panel.

Thanks Lucian C.

I have few Doubts and also a rectification in the theme

First of all i have purchased the theme, and i have to say the theme is a stellar. It provides with almost every feature a blogger or a website needs.

and below are my few doubts and requirements

1) I wanted to know that do i have to provide different ad codes for different ad sizes

for eg: i want to show google skyscraper ad(300×600) in the sidebar when viewed from a desktop and medium rectangle ad(300×250) when viewed from a mobile.

2) Secondly, I read few of the other discussions on this page and it says google doesnt not allow floating ads (https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/1354742?hl=en), so do i have to turn off smart scrolling if that is the case.

3) I know the main homepage has lazy loading of images, but does the single post also have lazy loading.

4) It will be just awesome if you could add whatsapp within the theme, bcoz adding a whatsapp button from a plugin makes it look awful and spoils the whole look of the theme.

5) I have provided the activation key for my developement site (localhost wamp), so will there be a problem while activating the theme on my live site

6) and finally In the Theme Panel> Social networking> Wordpress is spelled wrongly, i am sure you guys would have already noticed

i will be glad if you could help me with the above doubts Thank you

Thanks for the reply

But I still have doubts with two points 1 and 2

1) could you please explain my scenario with a screenshot if possible, because in the theme Panel> Ads where you have to paste the AdSense code it has 3 conditions like desktop, tablet portrait and mobile

2) I already know the option of enablling or disabling the smart scroll But my point was do I have to do it, will it be violating the google AdSense policy if I keep the smart scroll on?

Hi,

1. Basically you just have to add the ad code into one of the ad places like this – http://screencast.com/t/C1aQbwjOM – the theme will retrieve only the client data and it will automatically generate ads for each device. If you don’t set any it will load the default sizes which are defined in the code – http://screencast.com/t/9oWvvJZkLo20

2. From what we know yes, you have to disable it if you use adsense.

Thank you, Emil G.
