How To Create a Newsletter Section With tagDiv Newsletter Plugin

0

Introduction

If you have a WordPress website and use the Newspaper theme, adding an email subscription form is easy. Although the setup process may initially seem confusing, we’ve created an article that covers all the steps needed to create and configurate your first email subscription section with the help of our tagDiv newsletter plugin. 

After reading this article, you will find that it’s not as difficult as it sounds; it’s pretty straightforward.

How to create a newsletter section on your website with tagDiv Newsletter Plugin.

Install the tagDiv Newsletter Plugin.

Go to Newspaper -> Plugins -> tagDiv Newsletter-> Activate

Customize the plugin

Once the plugin is installed, it will be available in your tagDiv Composer element list.

You can create a newsletter element from scratch or choose a pre-built cloud template.

From scratch

  1. Go to the page you want to include the newsletter section;
  2. Edit with tagDiv Composer -> Add element -> Search for the  “Newsletter” shortcode;
  3. Drag the Newsletter element and drop it to your preferred area;
  4. Style the form.

To customize the newsletter form, start by going to the Style tag on the left panel. There, you can choose from 8 different newsletter form styles and make adjustments if necessary. Additionally, within the same tab, you have access to other style options.

You can modify the input border size, background color, and border radius and customize the email button by changing the text, icon color, and more. Furthermore, in the CSS tab, you can fine-tune the margins of the newsletter element and adjust border styles, colors, radius, and more.

By using a pre-built cloud template

  1. Go to Cloud Templates;
  2. Select the section of the page where you want to display the newsletter form.

3. If you want to display it in the footer section of your page, click the + button. A new window with  Pre-designed Templates will appear. You can choose from many pre-built footer templates with integrated newsletter forms there.

4. After choosing a pre-designed template, close the window and select the chosen template. Then click the three dots and “Edit with TD Composer”.

Set a title for your widget, a description, and a disclaimer, and choose a newsletter provider, Mailchimp or Mailer Lite.

tagDiv newsletter plugin

After setting the above elements, choose the newsletter provider you want from the two available options: MailChimp and Mailer Lite.

* Note: The vast majority of pre-designed templates work as mentioned above. However, some pre-designed cloud templates operate differently. For example, the newsletter element that comes with the Free News Pro pre-built template uses a mailing list system that enables website owners to create internal WordPress mailing lists. To learn more about how this mailing list system works, consult the tagDiv Opt-in Builder—Paywall/ Subscription Leads page.

In the following paragraphs, we’ll guide you through integrating Mailchimp and Mailer Lite with WordPress in Newspaper Theme.

How to Integrate Mailchimp with WordPress in Newspaper Theme

Create a new account or access your existing one. 

  1. Go to Audience -> Signup Forms;
  2. Click “Create a new form”;
  3. Select “Create embedded form”;
  4. Give your form a name and the audience you want to work with;
  5. Customise your form Click Continue and Copy Code.

How to Integrate Mailer Lite with WordPress in Newspaper Theme

  1. Navigate to the Forms page;
  2. Click the Embedded Forms tab -> Overview -> Embed form to your website -> Click the HTML tab.

After generating the code, go back to the newsletter element and paste the code into the embedded form section. Once you’ve pasted the code, the form’s default appearance will be displayed. Below the embedded form code, you can adjust the alignment, input placeholder, and customize the button text and icon settings.

tagDiv newsletter plugin

It’s time to style the newsletter form. The same styling process applies to the cloud templates as the build-from-scratch one. To get started, go to the Style tab on the left panel.

There are 8 different newsletter form styles to choose from, and you can customize them if needed. In the same tab, you have other style options. You can change the input border size, background color, border-radius, or edit the email button by setting a different text, icon color, and more. Additionally, in the CSS tab, you can adjust the margins of the newsletter element, border style, color, radius, and so on.

After you’ve styled your newsletter section, you can save it. This will give you a well-customized and functional newsletter that’s ready to help you build a community and send personalized email campaigns.

Prebuilt Website Template Showcase: Newspaper Free News Pro

0

In the following paragraphs, we introduce you to one of our latest releases, the Newspaper Free News Pro. We created this prebuilt website for anyone looking to create a corporate professional blog or news website that is easy to use and presents a beautiful design.

Note: To use the prebuilt websites, you must first install the Newspaper theme and then activate the tagDiv Cloud Library plugin. This premium plugin will give you access to a wide selection of fully editable templates and elements.

Prebuilt Website Features: Newspaper Free News Pro

Design

Color scheme

The Newspaper Free News Pro template is designed to be clean, modern, and highly readable. Its color scheme plays a crucial role in achieving this aesthetic. Let’s explore the primary colors used in this prebuilt website.

The primary color of the “Newspaper Free News Pro” prebuilt website template is a rich, deep blue. Used for headings, tags, links, social icons, and other vital accents, the color conveys reliability and professionalism, making it perfect for a news website. Moreover, it evokes a sense of trustworthiness and responsibility.

Read our Color Meanings 101 article to learn more about the meaning behind the color blue.

As secondary colors, we used a light and darker shade of gray to complement the deep shade of blue. The lighter shade is used for backgrounds and borders, offering a neutral backdrop that enhances readability and keeps the focus on the content. The darker shade of the same tone of gray is also used for the body text to ensure a clear and comfortable reading experience. 

The accent color is a vibrant shade of red. When used strategically in category labels, call-to-action buttons, text hovers, and other interactive elements, the color can illustrate a sense of urgency and importance for the selected element.

The ‘Newspaper Free News Pro’ template’s background color is primarily white, ensuring a clean and uncluttered look. This choice of background color enhances the overall readability and creates a pleasant viewing experience.

It’s up to you what website colors you choose. While the default color scheme is an excellent palette, the ‘Newspaper Free News Pro’ prebuilt website offers extensive customization options. Using the tagDiv Composer tool, users can easily adjust the colors to match their brand identity.

Typography

Website typography plays a crucial role in determining the quality of a good website. Above all, it’s one of the core principles of good website design, and it decides whether a website interface offers a good user experience or causes people to abandon the website.

As primary typefaces for the Newspaper Free News prebuilt website, we used Poppins (a Sans-serif typeface) and Roboto Condensed (a variant of the Roboto typeface family).

If you are considering using the Newspaper Free News Pro template to build your website, we recommend using these two pre-defined typefaces. This will ensure compatibility with the website’s interface and the other pre-defined elements. 

Alternatively, the tagDiv website builder offers many font selections and customization options for your typography.

Website structure (Homepage Layout)

Header

The Newspaper Free News Pro header template, created with tagDiv Composer, appears globally across all website pages. Additionally, can create unique header layouts for different pages or posts and customize each one accordingly. 

You can import the header layout with all the other prebuilt elements by installing the Newspaper Free News Pro or separately as a cloud header template. The cloud template can be installed on any other prebuilt website.

Modal Pop-up Menu

A modal pop-up element, a submenu, is integrated into the page menu. The submenu has three columns. The first is for the list menu and social icons, the other two for article categories.

Newspaper Free News Pro Modal Menu

Main content area

As a prebuilt page for news websites, the main content area displays articles filtered by topic, headline, author, popularity & more.

The Footer section was created using the tagDiv Composer and set to display on each website page and post. Of course, you can also change or customize this pre-defined footer or set a different footer layout for different pages or posts.

Category

The category page uses a visual hierarchy to prioritize content. The most important articles are positioned at the top. Each article displays the author’s name and the category it belongs to. Additionally, there is a dedicated section for each author where people can find a list of all the articles written by them.

Below the most important articles, there’s a designated space for advertisements that could come in handy if you are looking to monetize your website.

When it comes to optimization, the category page is designed with the best SEO practices in mind. It has clear headings and subheadings and a content structure that search engines can easily navigate, which helps articles appear more prominently in search engine results.

An important thing to note is that the page is set to dynamically update to always show the most recent and relevant content within a category, keeping the page fresh and engaging for returning visitors.

Articles

The article page opens with a striking hero image that sets the visual tone and engages the reader from the outset. The headline is bold and clear, while the concise subheadline and read time indicator (e.g., “2 min. Read”) cater to time-conscious readers, making it easy to gauge the article’s relevance.

Social sharing buttons are prominently placed, encouraging readers to disseminate content across various platforms, which is crucial for expanding reach. The page also features a highlighted quote, visually breaking up the text and drawing attention to key insights.

The sidebar enhances the user experience by offering quick access to trending articles and categorized topics, helping readers explore more of what interests them. Ad placement is discreet yet effective, ensuring monetization without detracting from the content.

When users search for a specific term, such as “Marketing,” the page displays relevant articles in a clean and visually appealing layout. The search term is prominently displayed at the top of the page, reinforcing the relevance of the results and confirming the user’s query. A well-defined line subtly separates the search input area from the results, contributing to the page’s clean design.

Each article in the search results is presented with a large, eye-catching image, the title of the article, the publication date, and a brief excerpt. This allows users to quickly scan through the content and decide which article is most relevant to their needs. The uniform design across all results ensures consistency and ease of navigation.

The Benefits of Using the tagDiv Module Builder

4

What is a module builder?

The Module builder is a feature available in the tagDiv Composer plugin that enables users to create customized modules for their websites. It’s an excellent tool for creating a flexible and customizable website layout. Module blocks are essentially containers for modules. Each block can contain multiple modules that you can personalize and use to display different types of content.

Pre-designed Module Templates
tagdiv module builder

The module builders can be an excellent choice if you are looking for straightforward, pre-designed content solutions.

How do you create module blocks?

To create your modules, go to Cloud Templates → Modules. Here, you can either select a predefined module and design it as you like or create a new one from scratch by selecting a blank template.

How to install a cloud module template
tagdiv module builder

These modules work with the Flex Blocks Builder and Flex Loop Builder, allowing you to showcase your customized modules easily.

Benefits of using the module builder

Easy to use & customize

With their pre-designed layouts, the module blocks are incredibly user-friendly and can be implemented without extensive design skills. They are a perfect solution for individuals who want to take control of their website’s appearance without feeling overwhelmed. 

The module blocks allow you to adjust the number of posts displayed, filter content by categories, or modify padding and spacing. Read more about the module features here. 

Code performance

Another benefit of using the module builders is code performance optimization. By adding new shortcodes to the tagDiv Composer page builder, the modules allow you to reduce unnecessary or redundant code, enhancing the website’s loading speed. This is particularly beneficial for high-traffic websites. Moreover, a website with optimized code will be more prepared to handle traffic spikes.

The server resources are used in a more efficient way. This translates to quicker response times and a smoother user experience. 

An important thing to note is that if you change the content of a module, the modification will happen at a global level, meaning that all the blocks that used that specific module will be changed as well.

Content display options

One of the most exciting benefits of using module builder blocks is the endless possibilities for content display. Users can explore grids, lists, sliders, and more and customize them to their heart’s content.

Moreover, these blocks can dynamically display website content based on specific categories, tags, or other criteria, such as view count, author, or reading time.

Conclusion

Module builder allows you to personalize your website’s content quickly and efficiently. It also gives you various options to display your content and reduces redundant code, reducing website loading time. 

If you haven’t used the Module builder yet, maybe it’s time to give it a chance. If you encounter problems designing your website with the module builder, don’t worry; we’re here to help. Submit a request, and our team will contact you as soon as possible.

Why tagDiv Cloud Library is a better alternative to the Standard Pack

0

This article will explain why you should consider using the tagDiv Cloud Library plug-in instead of the Standard Pack for your website. We will start with a brief description of each plugin and continue with some key advantages of working with the Cloud Library and how much good it can do for your website.  

TagDiv Standard Pack vs. TagDiv Cloud Library

TagDiv Standard Pack comes with the theme purchase and includes a limited set of static, locally available templates and elements. It’s suitable for users who want a straightforward, one-time setup but is hard to manage if you want to customize each section to be more personalized (add some new features on each section or customize the format). 

To be more concise, the standard pack doesn’t allow you to design your website entirely. 

tagDiv Theme panel

If you add additional code to the theme files while using the Standard Pack, such as custom CSS or JavaScript, you may lose it when you update your theme to a newer version. This can be a significant drawback if you plan to make extensive website customizations. It’s important to know that this plugin is deprecated, meaning that we won’t be implementing new features to it anymore. 

That’s where the tagDiv Cloud Library plugin comes in handy!

tagDiv Cloud Library is a plugin that comes with purchasing the Newspaper theme. What makes this plugin special is the number of pre-built editable templates that enable you to take your website design to the next level. 

The library was designed specifically for the tagDiv Composer. Therefore, it can not function separately. After ensuring that the tagDiv Composer is installed, activate the tagDiv Cloud Library plug-in from the theme plugins section:

tagDiv how to install the Cloud Library

 Why do we recommend starting to use the tagDiv Cloud Library plugin?

The main reasons for using the Cloud Library instead of the Standard are its flexibility in design and the performance it delivers to its users. 

Flexibility

The plugin offers a vast collection of over 2400 templates and fully editable elements from the cloud. This includes a variety of page layouts, headers, footers, post types (such as portfolios, events, listings, job postings, and more), and custom blocks. The plugin provides a more secure alternative to the Standard Pack and ensures a better user experience. You can easily edit the available cloud templates and elements without needing advanced coding skills. Additionally, you can save the blocks/ sections of a template that you create as blocks and access them whenever necessary.

The live layout preview lets you see your edits in real time, ensuring a better user experience.

The tagDiv Cloud Library is an ideal solution for users who prefer to design each section of their website and need a dynamic and regularly refreshed design library. You don’t need advanced coding skills to edit the available cloud templates and elements or create a new design of your own from scratch. In fact, the Cloud Library is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to create and customize their website’s design. Moreover, you can save the sections that you create as blocks and access them whenever necessary, further enhancing the ease of use of the Cloud Library. 

Just import a template or element that you like from the Cloud Library and customize it using the tagDiv Composers’ drag-and-drop functionality.

If you’re currently using the Standard Pack, know that:

  • Blocks 1-25 can be changed with flex blocks (all of the new options are made on these Flex Blocks;
  • The 12 Big Grids and the 10 Big Grid Full can be changed with Big Grid Flex blocks;
  • The standard templates (header, footer, category, article, search, tag, author, date, 404) were replaced with cloud templates;
  • Shop and directories can be made using the cloud templates and flex blocks;
  • Individual shortcodes on templates with individual settings on each shortcode (in the theme panel of the standard pack, you only have basic control over the old templates).

Performance

The performance factor is another key benefit of the tagDiv Cloud Library is its performance. You can trust the Cloud Library plug-in if you aim to create a fast and smooth website. This cloud plugin loads only the code of the elements you use, ensuring a significant boost in website loading speed. 

In contrast, the standard pack is built to load the code of all the elements, which can slow down your website’s loading speed. Additionally, the Cloud Library allows you to optimize your website for SEO. You can choose the heading types (h1-h4) and the paragraphs, making it easier for search engine robots to better index your website’s content in the SERP results.

This performance enhancement of the Cloud Library plugin should give you confidence that your website will always perform at its best. 

The infinite loading for the single post feature is another performance-enhancing feature available with the Cloud Library template. This functionality allows users to scroll smoothly through the articles and posts without the need to click away or load a new page. It’s designed to improve user engagement and reduce bounce rates, thereby enhancing your website’s performance.

That being said, if you haven’t tried it yet,  we recommend giving the tagDiv Cloud Library Plugin a try and see how many things you can do compared to the Standard Pack. 

Summary Table: tagDiv Standard Pack vs. tagDiv Cloud Library

tagDiv Standard Pack vs tagDiv Cloud Library

Conclusion

While the Cloud Library plugin offers ongoing access to a broad array of prebuilt and easy-to-customize website templates and elements, the Standard Pack gives you only a limited number of tools with limited functionalities. This ongoing access to customizable resources with the Cloud Library ensures that you always have the tools you need to keep your website design fresh and engaging for your audience. 

If you’re considering switching from the Standard Pack to the Cloud Library but need some help, don’t worry. We’re here to support you. Simply submit a request, and our team will contact you as soon as possible to assist with your transition. We’re committed to ensuring that your experience with the Cloud Library is smooth and successful.

How to Build a Membership Website with Newspaper Theme?

0

What is a Membership Website?

A membership website is a gated site through which companies can offer subscribers exclusive content, such as newsletters, online courses, or different events, in exchange for a monthly or annual fee. Some companies even offer free membership access in exchange for some personal information to deliver the desired content or access to its members.

A membership can offer access to various content, such as blog articles, podcasts, webinars, online courses, exclusive interviews, or downloadable resources, to name a few.

Ways to Create a Membership Feature

There are three main ways to create a membership feature for your website. The first and easiest way is to use a WordPress Plug-in. In this article, we’ll tackle this aspect and also come up with a guide on how to build a membership website using the tagDiv Opt-In Builder Plug-in, a tool for creating and customizing article content lockers.

Another option is to create a subdomain with specific community-building software. A community platform is a digital space where people can share joint interests to facilitate discussions and collaborate. Discord, slack, and Hivebrite are some platforms that businesses often choose when deciding to build a community base.

You still have options even if your website isn’t built with WordPress. You can create a membership website from scratch using a platform that offers this feature. 

To become a member, an individual must create an account or register through a dedicated form. Depending on your business objectives, the individual’s chosen membership plan, or the results you want to generate, membership can be free of charge, paid, or both. 

It’s crucial to understand that maintaining a successful membership program requires more than just a good marketing strategy. It’s about consistently delivering premium-quality content that meets your members’ unique needs and interests. This commitment to quality is what will set your membership website apart and keep your members engaged and loyal. 

If your business hasn’t acquired a good authority rank in your niche, maybe it would be better to consider posting free access content to draw people in, and in the meantime, find a segment of your audience that you would want to target and start offering a membership program for them first. A good example is to target the audience that would be down to access additional content from you – and here’s where you come in with a membership program for them.

The Advantages of a Membership Website

Increase in revenue

Implementing a membership feature opens up a valuable stream of regular income for your company. This can significantly boost your overall revenue, whether generated from your website traffic or e-commerce products. The potential for increased revenue is a powerful motivator for any business owner or entrepreneur, sparking hope for a more prosperous future for the business.   

Selling a digital product like this requires little work. Once created, it can be sold or delivered to many subscribed members without losing its intrinsic value or purpose.

Generate loyalty and trust

Delivering high-quality services for your audience can increase perceived company trust. Moreover, a trustworthy website can make people more aware of the value you provide through your online presence and, in time, become loyal clients. This underscores the importance of your commitment to delivering high-quality services, making you feel responsible for your audience’s satisfaction.

By providing a quality membership service to your members, you increase your company’s trust and the chances of creating an emotional relationship with your clients, eventually turning them into brand ambassadors.

Build industry authority

Building authority in your niche can be challenging. It can take years to build a good reputation and even more to become an authority figure in your industry. 

While this journey can be slow and overwhelming initially, companies have access to many tools that can help them maximize their impact in their niche. One strategy is to create a form of membership that creates an online community that people can feel part of. 

By launching a membership website, you create the impression that the content you provide for your members is of good quality. Eventually, if you continue to deliver value through your membership program, members will consider you an expert. 

Create your community

A membership service is, in its essence, a community where individuals share mutual interests. The main benefit of a community membership is the sense of community and connection that members develop. This fosters a feeling of being valued and part of something bigger, enhancing the overall membership experience. 

It is not enough to build a community with a big audience; instead, it is important to have members who are encouraged to engage within the community and take specific actions that can make them feel important and, above all, valuable — inspiring them to take part in your community and be perceived as a valuable company as a whole.

In the following paragraphs, we will demonstrate how to use the powerful WordPress as CRM software to integrate a membership management system into a website from scratch. We will specifically choose the NewsPaper Theme for its user-friendly interface and vast customization options. Additionally, we will install the tagDiv Opt-In Builder plugin, a robust tool for managing memberships and customizing article content lockers, to enhance the functionality of our membership website. 

Building a Membership Management in WordPress with the tagDiv Opt-In Builder

Step 1: Install and activate the NewsPaper Theme

To install the NewsPaper Theme, you must purchase it from ThemeForest. After purchasing, you must go into your WordPress account and upload it (Appearance > Themes > Add new button).

Once uploaded to your WordPress site, activate it by going to Appearance > Themes > Activate button.

Step 2: Choose a website layout design

Newspaper Theme gives you access to many prebuilt layout designs. To access the design layouts, go to Newspaper > Prebuilt Websites. 

Once you decide on the design layout, you have two options: Install the design exclusively or install the prebuilt website with the content included.

Your website is now ready for customization. Let’s build the membership subscription using the tagDiv Opt-In Builder plugin.

Step 3: Install and Activate the tagDiv Opt-in Builder plugin

To install and activate the tagDiv Opt-In Builder plugin, go to Newspaper > Plugins and click on Install > Activate

Step 4: Set up your tagDiv Opt-In Builder Subscriptions using the Setup Wizard

  • Company info: Provide details about yourself and your company and other general information, such as your email, address, or financial data;
  • Payment method: Choose the preferred payment option to receive the payments (through Paypal or Bank transfer);
  • Pricing plans: Add as many free, monthly, and yearly pricing plans as you want;
  • Pages: Manage your subscription funnel;
  • Subscriptions: Check the status of your subscriptions.

Step 5: Customize your membership subscription

The last step in this process is customizing your membership subscription plugin. The tagDiv Composer plugin is an excellent tool for this. It allows you to design and customize your membership plugin as you prefer.

Here’s an example of plugin customization:

When done right, implementing a membership feature can be a game-changer for your business. It’s not just about increasing revenue and customer fidelity in the long run but also about gaining authority in your field in a creative and engaging way.

5 Benefits of using WordPress as your Website CMS

0

WordPress is the leader in the content management system (CMS) business, with a market share of 63.3% in 2023. Of the over 1,98 billion websites created, approximately 43.3% chose WordPress as their system provider. 

Daily, the platform boasts over 500 new websites created daily, meanwhile, other platforms struggle to go beyond 80 new websites (Search Logistics, 2024). More than that, over 37 million users search for the term WordPress every month through a search engine. 

The platform has acquired quite the level of fame in the market, making it the world’s biggest and most well-known CMS software platform that individuals choose to launch their website. Because of that, in today’s article, we will present some valuable WordPress benefits that make people decide to work with this platform.

Let’s explore together why using WordPress may be the best choice for your website.

Open-source software

WordPress is an open-source software, meaning anyone with an internet connection can easily access and use it. It is also an open-source community where members are continuously involved in developing new WordPress upgrades.

One of the most significant advantages to WordPress is that it involves small expenses and is often accessible or more affordable than proprietary software. The company offers various plans for each budget, including a free one. You can choose a specific plan to access the desired features based on your needs and business objectives.

Interactive interface

Another advantage of choosing WordPress for creating your website is its interactive interface. 

The interface is designed so that users can easily navigate and make specific adjustments. You don’t need coding experience to use it. WordPress provides some pre-built elements that each person can use to customize their website according to their needs.

Easy to customize

WordPress gives you the freedom to choose from thousands of customizable, paid, or free themes that can help you generate an outstanding and creative website. One example of an easy-to-customize theme is Newspaper, a well-known WordPress Theme that offers more than 155 templates which are ready to use on any type of website. Moreover, it’s the #1 most-sold Theme for news, blog, and magazine websites on Envato Market.

Moreover, WordPress allows you to develop a better overall User Experience using WordPress plugins. A plugin is a piece of software that can be integrated into the code of your current website to add supplementary elements and functionalities. 

The main objective of a plugin is to help you create the perfect version of a website that answers all of your necessities and ideas. It can improve your website’s interactiveness, making it more user-friendly and complex. Furthermore, it will help your business develop a more eloquent image on the market or help enhance the website’s authority. Whether you want to create a contact form, insert your social media accounts, or optimize your website, you can easily do so using one of the 58,000+ free WordPress plugins.

SEO Friendly

Another reason to choose WordPress as your website software is its integrated SEO system. It allows you to customize your URLs and create your Meta Title and Meta Descriptions. It also evaluates your posts from an SEO perspective, helping you organically rank better in the SERP results. As a result, it makes it easier for the targeted audience to find your website.

Besides its pre-built SEO elements, the software provides you with some additional advanced plugins that you can install to help you take your SEO to the next level.

High-security level

Another essential variable to consider when choosing CMS software is the security level provided. WordPress, an open-source software, delivers better security than most proprietary  softwares out there. Furthermore, WordPress has a good security reputation that clients implicitly trust. 

WordPress can offer strong encryption for your website, monitor suspicious activities, and regularly back up your site, making it a trustful CMS website for creating your website.

0

In the last Opt-in Builder Update, we introduced a new exciting feature set to transform the way membership websites engage with their audience. Designed with website owners, bloggers, and writers in mind, this new functionality enriches the user experience by introducing a dynamic way to access exclusive content.

Introducing the Credit System

The Credit System feature is perfect for membership websites as it aims to offer subscribers more flexibility. It works on a simple basis: users acquire credits through membership plans. The credits can, therefore, be used to unlock articles or any content on the website.

Implementing the Credit System

Implementing the Credit System is straightforward, thanks to the tagDiv opt-in builder. Here’s a quick guide:

  • Credits Settings: Initiate by configuring the default consumption credit and managing the default credit for posts or CPTs through the Opt-in builder plugin’s settings.
  • Credit Plan Settings: Create new plans within the Opt-In Builder Plans section, specifying the number of credits associated with each plan. These plans, which are purchasable through a one-time payment, are crucial for defining how users acquire credits.
  • Credit Locker Settings: Establish credit lockers to control content access. These lockers are customizable, allowing for the display of credit-related messages and styled according to preference.
  • Credit Post Settings: When editing an article or CPT, select the credit locker created to lock content behind a credit paywall, thus regulating access based on the user’s credit balance.
  • Credit Management Settings: Finally, users can track their credit balances and content purchases through a dedicated dashboard, enhancing the subscription experience by providing transparency and control over credit usage.

How do you choose the perfect WordPress theme for your website?

0

When faced with a wide range of themes to choose from, committing to one can be a difficult task. That’s why there are some things you should consider before purchasing one.

Because we want to make this decision easier for you, we created this article, which covers some essential attributes that describe the level of trustfulness and authority of a good theme.

Check the reviews

The first thing that someone should consider when looking for a good website theme is the quantity and quality of its reviews. By conducting this research, we can gain an overall idea of how the theme responds to consumers’ needs. Furthermore, monitoring clients’ satisfaction helps us understand the theme’s level of adaptability and personalization. 

The support provided by the company after purchasing a theme is also an important thing that a person should consider.

The Newspaper Theme is an excellent example of a website that ranks in both quantity and quality of rating scores. As you can see, our theme received +7,600 reviews with a total rating of 4,81/5. This gives prospective customers an idea of trustworthiness and credibility, giving us a sustainable advantage over the competition.

Look for the last update date

A theme that constantly updates its portfolio with new features and fixes errors manages to deliver a more significant consumer experience. There can be cases when an author stops delivering updates, leaving the provided theme with a lot of old-fashioned content and limited possibilities for its clients. This can also maximize the rise of some vulnerabilities in the system, such as your personal files getting broken or even stolen.

That’s why choosing a theme that provides you with future updates is another essential factor to take into account.

At tagDiv, we update our theme regularly to ensure an excellent client experience. Meeting our consumers’ needs has always been one of our core missions.

Verify the compatibility with the latest version of WordPress

Another critical element is the theme’s compatibility with the latest WordPress version. A cooperative author who constantly provides new available WordPress versions for the theme will minimize the future risks that can interfere with this lack of upgrades.

Our Newspaper Theme is constantly updated to the latest WordPress software version. We are always up to date with each new version, ensuring that each customer has the best possible experience.

Choose a trusted author theme

A further factor to consider is the author’s authority level. The greater the authority and notoriety of the author in the market, the greater the trust. Choosing a famous and trusted author will enhance the chances of choosing a theme that can respond to your personal needs.

Our expertise made us a Power Elite Author. Reaching over +142.000 sales, we demonstrated a thorough notoriety in the market with a successful business reference in the domain.

Check the level of documentation

Well-documented themes rank higher in quality because they are perceived as more trustworthy and thoughtful about consumers’ needs. Furthermore, the degree of documentation enhances a theme’s authority, making it easier for everyone to understand and use. 

In our case, the theme we provide is well-documented, ensuring ease of comprehension and clarity.

Conclusion

In conclusion, before choosing a theme, consider some general but crucial aspects, such as checking the reviews, seeing if the theme is updated regularly, and verifying its compatibility with the latest version of WordPress. Furthermore, a trusted author and a well-documented theme are other essential aspects to consider before making your final choice.
