Change Category Background Color on Homepage

Hi guys,
In version 8.5, there was a VERY simple way to change the category title background color. See this img:

However, in version 8.7, you will note that this option is now gone in Visual Composer (now called WP Bakery). See img for v8.7:

When I use the web inspector to find out the css class, there is a massive clump of classes that affect many elements across the entire theme. See:

Obviously, all of these can’t apply to block 11 in this case. I’ve tried adding in extra classes, but it didn’t work. I’ve wasted far too much time trying to identify the specific class and then add extra classes to differentiate the different categories by color.

So my question is, how do I add back in this tag color feature in Visual Composer (WP Bakery)? I would prefer not to have to downgrade theme versions to do something this basic. If I knew which file from 8.5 to move to Newspaper 8.7, then this problem would be solved. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Kind regards

Hi Catalin,
That’s unfortunate. I really like Visual Composer and it’s sad you’re pushing users away from it. As I mentioned in a different post, the TD composer editor pane does not format correctly on my Mac or any Mac using Sierra OS (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/td-composer-editor-pane-margin/).

I really like the Newspaper theme and have been a loyal promoter of your theme to others. I still think it’s an excellent theme, but I’ll admit I’m not happy about more and more options being cut from Visual Composer. It’s just causing me to waste more time working out the bugs on TD composer to try and do the most basic things (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-composer-space-below-single-image/).

Kind regards
