Hi, looking to purchase and have a few (several) questions…
Does the theme have caching as a feature or do we need a third party plugin, if we desire this ability?
Also is responsive content a feature? Content hidden/accessible by device, I mean.
Is it possible to set up a paywall for part of the site, or would I need a plugin for that?
Is the theme compatible with and/or has it been tested with:
1. Either Slider Revolution or Layer Slider? 2. Layered Popups? 3. Animated shortcodes of any kind?
I have a unique newspaper site to launch that can leverage these usually more marketing-oriented tools as content.
The Marketing Themes don’t quite fit my project, for eg most lack the ability to have ads in the header without custom coding. Don’t come with a ticker, etc.
However the News-based Themes lack a lot of shortcodes and extensions. So far yours seems to have the most features while still looking good and having a truly mobile experience (not just re-sizing). Hopefully you are the solution I seek… I look forward to your response.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
1. It doesn’t come with cache, we recommend using W3 Total Cache (with only disk cache enabled)
2. The theme doesn’t have an option to hide/display content on certain devices.
3. For paywall you have to use a plugin, the theme doesn’t come with such a feature.
4. The theme comes with Revolution Slider by default, you can find it in the theme package, inside the plugins folder. We didn’t do any tests with Layered Popups or Animated shortcodes, sorry.
Thank you, Emil G.
I run a multisite. The theme works perfectly in my network.
I have a posts block question: Is it possible to add some kind of code that would display content from a different site w/n my own network in a Post block 7 and/or Post Block 12?
Goal: My site is based on Washington DC information, www.site.com/washingtondc (DC) and I also have Both www.site.com/virginia (VA) and www.site.com/maryland (MD) as they are w/n 5 miles of DC. A lot of people live in VA/MD but work in DC.
My goal is to set up a post block 12 or post block 7 in www.site.com/washingtondc that displays posts from my www.site.com/maryland and www.site.com/virginia sites, as both sites are also in my multisite network.
Can you think of a way to do this and provide the code as a temp fix…and perhaps include an extra field in the post block setup that allows for same site multisite data in the future?
Thanks
For example, two extra fields that say “Multisite blog id” that utilizes “switchtoblog()” and “multisite category id” that filters by the category IF the id is entered (and returns the last “x”) number of posts from all cats if that id is not entered…
Hi,
The theme works on multisite environment but it wasn’t designed for it, you have to add new parameters to each block, then modify the code which retrieves the posts based on the parameters set on each block – http://screencast.com/t/3KxFMKT3ejJ – http://screencast.com/t/oDWc3jjU5T8m – unfortunately i cannot provide a complete solution because we didn’t do any tests on this area and the time doesn’t allow me to do any. You can also look for info on the web, an example would be – http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/22658/simplest-way-to-query-with-blog-id – http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/98965/get-posts-from-sites-in-multisite – If you don’t know how to modify it i suggest that you hire a professional developer to make this 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.
Hi,
I seem to be having problems with 7 day most popular, i have 7 day post sorting on.. but no posts show up??
Hi,
You have to also enable the views from Theme Panel -> Post Settings – http://screencast.com/t/GusBdjhM5X The 7 days post sorting is linked to it, we plan to separate them in a future update. If you use cache the 7 days post sort won’t work fine, the view data is not saved correctly, we also have this on the list for a future update.
Thank you, Emil G.
Also is there a way to set the lazy load to only work for images inside a post?
Hi,
A simple solution would be to delete the following line – http://screencast.com/t/lSAEG7Beq
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
works for post page but i want to also exclude sidebar, just simply the images inside the post
i’m using .td-post-content figure img.. is that the best way?
Hi,
Try to change the css like this – http://screencast.com/t/FxM82QbFqD
/* ATTENTION - this should be last */
article img {
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 0.3s;
transition-timing-function: cubic-bezier(0.39, 0.76, 0.51, 0.56);
/* linear */
}
Thank you, Emil G.
How can I accomplish the ‘Travel’ menu seen in the demo? I did look into the below but it’s not working… Can you help please?
You can check the tutorial here (section C.) – http://forum.tagdiv.com/menus-newsmag/
Hi,
It’s built like this – http://screencast.com/t/tcnvdS3uxC – http://screencast.com/t/LF0BDHiGlk – http://screencast.com/t/oN9HaoXM
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi !
Awesome theme! It would even become a thousand times better with WP Multisite support though.. (ability to link to articles/pages on a different site in the multisite network, especially with all the themes you guys made)
Anyway great effort so far!
Keep up the good work!
Hi,
The theme works on multisite environment but it wasn’t designed for it, some features may require modifications on the code. I’ve added your suggestion on the list, if more people will request this we will implement it. For the moment we have a lot of features on the list and we have to chose carefully which one get’s implemented next.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi!
I want to change the theme of the full width.
How can I do?
Kind regards
Hi,
The content section cannot be changed to full width. For header you could check the options available in Theme Panel – http://forum.tagdiv.com/header-styles-newsmag/
If you refer to something else please provide more details.
Thank you, Emil G.
First of all, congratulations for building such a highly rated, sleek wordpress theme.
Your outstanding customer feedback and focus on SEO and speed convinced me to go ahead and buy your theme.
I have a problem though: I can’t install it! There is an error message: ‘Could not copy file. Newsmag/404.php’
Could you please help me with this?
Kind regards Christophe
Hi,
Please provide more details about the installation, what method do you use? I suspect it’s a permission issue, try to upload the theme via FTP and see if it works.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi Emil,
Thank you for getting back to me quickly.
You were right and I managed to sort this out.
I have another question: could you please tell me how to replace your social buttons in the ‘SHARE’ section with another ‘social shares’ plugin?
Kind regards Christophe
PS: your user interface at the back-end is fantastic!
Hi,
You have to disable them from Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/ROsUmoZv7 and edit the post template files, add the plugin shortcode using the do_shortcode() function, ex: – http://screencast.com/t/nt3Kr7RU
<?php echo do_shortcode('[plugin shortcode goes here]'); ?>
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi Emil,
THANK YOU. I followed your directions and everything is working well.
Is there a way to embed the social share plugin within your original formatting (with the sleek SHARE section at the top of the Newsmag post template)?
Kind regards Christophe
Hi,
Not sure what you mean, please provide more details, some images describing the issue may also help.
Thank you, Emil G.
For some reason, formatting of the site is skewed when viewing it in chrome. Any ideas why?
I uninstalled and reinstalled chrome and that resolved my issue temporarily, but it’s back.
I disabled all plugins, reinstalled the theme, tried to isolate a specific post that was causing this issue, but that did not help.
It works perfectly in firefox, IE, and Safari.
Please advise!
www.foodiestateofmind.com
I just realized that I didnt elaborate: The site displays as one column sometimes, and then becomes three columns… and then back to one.
The big box, the first set of posts, shows as a column of individual posts rather than a rectangle displaying the posts neatly.
Issue has been resolved! I was… zoomed out to 75%. My apologies for the inconvenience.
Hello I would like to disable an ad from the top of the page , but when i do that it still shows a blank space instead of the disabled ad. I would like to remove the spacing completly- how do i do that ?
Thanks
Hi,
Please provide more details, how did you disable it? from the settings for a specific device?
Thank you, Emil G.
DO NOT UPDATE THE THEME!
I just re-downloaded theme files, uploaded them without making any changes, and the whole website went down. There’s a million different errors now that I’m plowing through.
Just a warning for everybody who purchased this theme and is about to update it. Probably going to restore the backup. Unless you want to screw up your current site setup, I would avoid updating this theme. Way too many bugs still and nobody’s sorting them out, as I see.
Hi,
The issue may appear if you didn’t update the Social Counter plugin, try to reset the plugins by renaming the ../wp-content/plugins folder (ex. to ../wp-content_plugins), then log in and rename the folder back to it’s original name. You can see the procedure here – http://screencast.com/t/0MUYtg0jMXNX – https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting
Remove the Social Counter an install the latest version from the theme package, you can find it in the ../Newsmag-tf/plugins folder. Enable plugins one by one and see if the issue appears again. If you encountered other bugs please report them and we will investigate, sorry for the trouble you encountered while updating.
Thank you, Emil G.
hi does this theme include the facebook social plugin like the one here in the right sidebar http://themeforest.net/item/hot-topix-modern-wordpress-magazine-theme/full_screen_preview/4641602
Hi,
It doesn’t come with an automatic widget for that but you could use a text box to add it to the page, first create the code here – https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin – http://screencast.com/t/VSbLem0xJ – the copy it on the text box – http://screencast.com/t/9DBnBa0na – and check the page – http://screencast.com/t/cdORc8nVqW
Thank you, Emil G.
Hello, I have recently started using NewsMag. It has everything I need in a theme.
I want to add the LinkedIn count button like the Facebook and Twitter count buttons on top of the post. Can you please help me with the additional code i need to add to show it in addition to the Like and Twitter counts at the top of my posts. And where to add the code.
Thanks.
Hi,
Try this solution – http://screencast.com/t/dkobhikx
http://pastebin.com/r7K0WAvQResult – http://screencast.com/t/0TvCaJdutS
Thank you, Emil G.
Thanks but I cant find td_module_single_base.php in wp admin folder. I can only find td_module.php and that it is found in wp booster folder.
Hi,
What version of the theme do you use?
Thank you, Emil G.
Version: 1.5
I am a bit skeptical about upgrade because of my modifications.
Hi,
For v1.5 you could add the code in the following location – http://screencast.com/t/xUNv8rJlsdd
Thank you, Emil G.
Okay. Thanks, Emil. Just a quick question. If I upgrade to the current version, how much effect will it have on my site. I don’t have lots of custom code that could be affected though. And do i need to reinstall the whole theme again?
Hi,
We will release a new update soon (next week) so i advise that you wait until then. You’ll have to reapply the custom code modifications, the update can be done in 3 ways, check this guide – http://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ , each method overwrites or replaces the entire files.
Thank you, Emil G.
How can I add, automatically at the end of each post someting like “copyright post”.???
Hi,
You could add it in the templates after the content section – http://screencast.com/t/ihTvbx546 – http://screencast.com/t/HZjxuaAc1Vx – use css to style it as you like.
Thank you, Emil G.
well, I can I do that on child theme avoidig to overwrite this change with next update?
Hi,
For the moment it’s not possible, next week we will release the documentation for the theme API, all modifications will run trough it.
Thank you, Emil G.
There is the possibility , when the text does not have image , the same occupy the placeholder ?
See Example:
http://sopacultural.com/images/sample.jpg
Tks
Hi,
I’ve added this on our list, we will investigate, thanks for the suggestion.
Have a nice day, Emil G.
Friend, this is very , very important. In addition to photos of value is high , often has no picture, but worth mentioning . Example : The plane crash with 150 mrtos deserves Main Headline , but no photo of the accident ! For us who work daily with news , the example shown or the option to “Photo” , “No Photo” , for each block would be essential!
Hi,
We have to test it first, basically we have to add a different css class if the image is present, set a default css and load a different one if the image is present. We have it on the list but i cannot say for sure when it’s going to be implemented.
A temporary solution may be to disable the Featured Image Placeholder from Theme Panel – http://screencast.com/t/sahPP2rPSFq – and use the following css to restyle module 11 – http://screencast.com/t/BV67sNFZ
.td_module_11.td_module_no_thumb .item-details{
margin-left: 0px;
}
Thank you, Emil G.
Excellent! Where do I change this?
Hi,
You just add the css in Theme Panel -> Custom CSS.
Thank you, Emil G.
PERFECT !!!!! Works on all blocks with the same code , only differentiating td_module_11?
Hi,
The css would be different for each module because the thumbnail, title and other elements are positioned differently on each one. If you don’t use all blocks you could create a custom css only for the module used. The .td_module_no_thumb class appears when there’s no thumb so basically you can target it as i did in my example.
Thank you, Emil G.
hi, how to disable the sidebar on posts on mobile site? Thanks
Hi,
There’s no option for that, but you could hide it using css media queries, if you don’t know how to doit please provide the url and i’ll get back with a solution.
Thank you, Emil G.
I hope that this would speed up the opening of the mobile phone. Thanks
Hi,
Try this css:
Posts:
@media(max-width: 767px){
.single .td-main-sidebar {
display: none;
}
}
Pages:
@media(max-width: 767px){
.td-ss-row > .td-pb-span4 {
display: none;
}
}
Thank you, Emil G.
Thanks a lot Emil G
Hello.
Do you know how to remove the search icon in http://vivendoviajando.com.br/ main menu?
Thanks
Hi,
You could hide it using css:
.td-header-menu-wrap .td-search-wrapper { display: none; }
Or remove it from the code – http://screencast.com/t/9qw3B5Pq45
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi Home page latest article (home page loop filter) Limit post number don’t work if i use Limit 4 but on home page its coming pagination with all the post from all categories (as my setting is all categories will display but only 4), seems like its bug or its only me?
Hi,
That setting modifies the number of posts displayed on each page, it doesn’t remove the pagination and the other posts. You could try to set it to 4 and hide the pagination using css. If you don’t know how to create a working css please provide the url and i’ll doit for you.
Thank you, Emil G.
hi where can i send you the url? email id please
Hi,
Is there a possibility to give the block’s name a link to a category page?
Eg: At your homepage demo (http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/), when a visitor clicking “Fashion Week” it will be directed to the category page http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/category/tagdiv-fashion-week/tagdiv-fashion/
Thanks in advance
Hi,
yeas it’s possible: edit the block and put it here: http://screencast.com/t/XUnRiT18s
Hope this helps
Radu O.
Thanks Radu,
So it’s my hard job now to make a decision between newsmag or newspaper 
Also how can I make it so it displays different types of news in each section… instead of repeating the same news over and over again.
hi,
the homepage is made from blocks. Each block can be edited via visual composer and it has a lot of filters http://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-overview/ So you can for example to show only posts from a specific category, specific tag, author etc.
Hope this helps.
Radu O.
How do I change the “FASHION WEEK, POPULAR VIDEO, HOLIDAY RECIPES, BEST Smartphones” text on the homepage of my newsmag site?
http://bitsudo.com/Hi,
edit the page using visual composer. On each block you will find a title field. I hope this helps and we’re working on better docs!
