Hi,
I’m in the process of moving my website. I wanted to change to this theme so I have installed it and am having a few issues with WP Bakery. I have read all the forums and guides and I understand that the two editors do conflict.
I have built my site using WP Bakery with another theme so I though when installing this it would display the same. I’m having a few issues getting it to look the same and I need to use WP Bakery because I need the ability to add Accordians, Tabs, Maps, Videos etc, which aren’t in tagDiv.
See the two links below for the difference between my current site and the new site I’m builidng using this theme:
Old website (other theme): https://www.socialfishing.com.au/complete-guide-golden-perch-in-dams/
New website (Newspaper Theme): https://member.socialfishing.com.au/complete-guide-golden-perch-in-dams/
It looks similar but a few of the elements are working correctly. A few issues I need help with:
1. Do I have to only use the 3 column styles mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ and what happens if other columns are used?
2. On long pages I cannot edit for long without the page giving me the error ‘Connection Lost’. I’ve read into a few of the forums and this is said to be due to a plugin conflict. I used this plugin and all the others installed fine and once installing the new theme I get this error. I uninstalled the tagDiv Composer plugin and this error stopped. It also takes an extremely long time to load.
3. Is there a way to make the background elements full width. Like on the original site? WP Bakery says its full width but it doesn’t show.
Is there anyway I can get those pages working fine with your theme using WP Bakery. I want to stay with your theme for the ability to use tagDiv on the header, menu and footer. I would like to stay but I need to be able to fix the issues I’m having.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Rhys
Hello !
Unfortunately yes, even tough WP bakery is a tested plugin I personally wouldn’t recommend using it. Since tagDiv Composer was created as our own page builder the developers are working on developing this plugin.
1. In the tagDiv Composer you can add ROWs. Each row has a layout setting which can be edited: https://www.screencast.com/t/0aq1TR5sPSFf And there is no limit in the amount of rows you add. Each row can have a different layout and different sizes.
2. In order for the Newspaper theme to work flawlessly we recommend meeting all of our themes system requirements which can be found here: https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/. Also we do offer a tutorial for increasing the page speed and many users have reported big improvements: https://tagdiv.com/how-to-increase-page-loading-speed/ ; Also if the users choose to use plugins that get in conflict with the tagDiv Composer that is something that we can do nothing about it. Plugin conflicts can happen on many other plugin / theme setups.
3. You can stretch the row’s content to the width you want but if you are using a background color or image that will reduce your page width to a boxed layout.
As a personal note I would recommend to always make a backup before every modification and also using a test server where you will be able to test every modification / plugin you want. That will give you the ability to test all the features you want without compromising the main website.
I hope you will find this helpful and we are sorry for the inconveniences !
Thank you !
Hi Vlad,
Thanks for your reply. So basically there is no way to make those two pages look the same?
As you said you wouldn’t recommend using WP Bakery, so is there an alternative with tagDiv to create elements like Accordions, Tabs, Maps etc?
Thanks for your reply.

Hello !
Unfortunately for that you will have to create them using 3rd. party plugins. We cannot recommend any unfortunately since they are not tested but you can lookout for plugins and see wich one fit your tastes.
We are sorry for the inconvenience !
Thank you !
