I am using an API plugin and have custom blocks, modules, thumbnails, header, footer and top bars. The blocks are no longer registering in visual composer after the update to wordpress. Is this a known issue? When is the fix coming?
I am on the latest visual composer and WordPress.
Please advise, I use this theme on 3 of my websites. Thanks!
By the way, everything else is still registering, just not the blocks…..
Hi,
The api plugin was changed a couple of updates back. Please use the current version of the api plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/

Thank you!
Bogdan,
I have downloaded and uploaded your example: https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/ …. if you install that plugin as is from your dropbox there are still no blocks being registered.
Please advise.
Hi,
Please make sure you do not use an older version than newspaper 6 as the api system was created for version 6+
It will not work on newspaper 4
If you have newspaper 6, please make sure you follow each step properly but this does require coding knowledge. The api system is destined for advanced users and is not covered by the theme support. If you cannot do it, we recommend hiring some help as this represents theme customization.
Thank you!
I can do it, and I have done it previously. There is not a coding issue as your walk through provides the code for you basically. There is an error with the visual composer and your theme api communicating. This issue has happened to me before and I debugged it only to have you patch it in the following week. I do not intend on doing this again.
If you would like I can spend the time to debug the issue as I have done in previous versions(where this issue has arose). This time I will send you a bill though.
Please advise.
Hello NP Comm,
We will do some investigations in this case and we will come back with an answer after this.
Thank you for your message!

Hello support, don’t know if to post this here.. I posted it in another visual composer topic.
This visual composer seems to be an issue everywhere. I get this message in my admin..
Please activate your copy of the Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer to get update notifications, access to support features & other resources! And another that requires input of my Licence key, which I did, but gets error message.. I wanted to find help here, I found forum post on how to update visual composer.

Please do not try to jack my thread. Wait for support in your own thread as I am. Your issue is to update VC and the theme properly, also, read the documentation. Good day.
Hello NP Comm,
I have tested to add a new block according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/practical-example-how-to-add-a-new-block-and-module/ (practical example) and the block was loaded as expected -> http://screencast.com/t/ALXRbDTs. Please notice that the API implementation is not part of our support and as you can see there, and I want to emphasize that this method addresses only to ADVANCED USERS. In our documentation, you can find some hints if you want to create a custom module/block and please notice that for achieving that is required to have a solid PHP/HTML/CSS knowledge to accomplish that. Please notice that this is a complex method and if you are not aware of the steps which you are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Thank you for the support! Sorry for wasting your time. It seems I didn’t turn on the ROLE setting in the visual composer settings. Apologies, I could have sworn I did that a few times.
If I may inquire about something else.
How can I display the primary category in a single page template/loop without modifying the td_module_single_base.php file? I would like to keep everything in the plugin via the API. Is this possible? Thanks!
Hello NP Comm,
The simplest way to display the primary category on your posts it is by editing the td_module_single_base.php core file. If you want to make these change through API, please notice that is not a simple task and require more additional customization that involves custom work. If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
