- NewspaperWhat’s Included in the Newspaper Theme Package
Why is the theme purchased today not delivered with the current version WPBakery Visual Composer Version 5.1?
Too slow and I have to buy a extra license for WPBakery Visual Composer again.
I will rate this template everywhere as Twitter, Facebook, etc. as bad, there are always hidden costs.
And WPBakery Visual Composer is not activated as I click on approve and it redirects and says NO LICENSES FOUND! why so? how can I activate it! thanks!

Hello,
That’s great! I just realized one more thing, where can I download the WPBakery Visual Composer 5.0.1. plugin? I search the forum but there isn’t any available link. I search on Google and it direct me to Code Canyon, but when I checked, it was 4.8.x something.
Thank you.
Hello,
Okay and the update instruction is also very clear, except it is mentioned that I should first deactivate and delete WPBakery Visual Composer plugin, before I upload the new one and activate it. Will it change my current layout page and do I have to remake the whole layout after update? Just to be sure, so I know what I am expecting when I update the plugin.
Thank you.
Hello,
Unfortunately the video player comes from visual composer and we cannot modify the plugin code as it will break our agreement with wpbakery.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
I’m sorry.
There are parts of the website that are not seen on the mobile. The plugins that I have active are the following:
– Accelerated Mobile Pages
– AMP
– Asesor de Cookies
– Contact Form 7
– Jetpack by WordPress.com
– Simple Social Icons
– Speed Booster Pack
– tagDiv Mobile Theme
– WP Super Cache
– WPBakery Visual Composer (Versión 4.12.1)
– Yoast SEO
I’ve followed all the steps and still do not know what to do.
Hello CUSPMag,
In order to update your Visual Composer plugin, please start and read the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks for the message!
When clicking on an article the image shows up fine. Images on the homepage or any page where the thumbnails (automatically generated thumbs from uploaded image) are supposed to be displayed do not show up at all.
This is not an issue with “Block Settings” from the dashboard since they are all activated except “retina” (Theme Panel>Block Settings>Thumbs on Modules/Blocks). https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-theme-thumbs/
In /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads I can see that the images I’ve uploaded have all the thumbs with resolution appended on the image name (e.g. myimage-300×160.jpg)
Additional Details:
Wordpress 4.7.2

Hello Dolly (deleted!)
Clean install on server just a few days ago.
Keep in mind that most of the articles don’t have images yet. They are imported through wordpresses import tool. You can see the articles called “test 1” “test 2” etc.
About WPBakery Visual Composer. I am using the latest one which came with Newspaper theme (version 7.7). Can’t update Visual Composer directly via plugins updates, because I do not own Visual Composer license. And because of that we were forced to turn off auto-updates and security notifications (because of that not up to date Visual Composer we started receive lots of warnings notifications and emails about that this plugin is not up to date. Already complained about it previously. 😉
If I try to update Visual Composer I will get error -> “An error occurred while updating WPBakery Visual Composer: To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?”
Simion C.,
I went ahead and followed the instructions, and updated the theme via WordPress to version 7.7. However, when I try and update the WPBakery Visual Composer from 4.12 I get the following message: “Update Failed: Update package not available.”
I see that there is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available (version 5.0.1). But when I try and update it, I get the “Update Failed: Update package not available.”
Did I do something wrong trying to update the theme from 7.3?
Hi there,
I bought an individual Visual Composer plugin earlier and activated it for site A, but recently I bought Newspaper theme which included VC in the theme, I used this theme for another site, let’s call it site B.
Problem now is I can’t activate VC for Site B, whenever I click activated and they brought me to Envato and then WPBakery site, it will then say that ‘All license are in use’.
What should I do?
Thanks
As I stated in my original post; I did all of those things. Again, I went ahead and deleted all of the WordPress files and SQL databases. I started fresh today and uploaded all files via FTP, the WordPress installation, the Theme, and the bundled Plugins. I have only WPBakery Visual Composer Activated and I am still having the same exact issue. Newspaper 7.7 is installed. When trying to save the theme panel settings the square just keeps spinning forever…
Again, I have had success with this theme flawlessly using MAMP for a localhost install on my personal computer. This new installation is on a hosting account. We do not have a domain pointing to this account and access it via Virtual Host.
All help is greatly appreciated and thanks for responding so fast!
Hello serfarecom,
Please ensure that your system status is correct setup according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, make sure that you are using the latest version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme packet. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello Ylli,
Please try to delete it and install it again from the theme packet files. You should install the Visual Composer plugin which comes bundled with the theme packet. Remove the old version of this plugin and install the right one via FTP. For more information about how you can install the Visual Composer, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ Clear all your caches, purge CDN files and check the results. Also, check your system status and also, setup it according to our guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
How do I activate this plugin? When I click “Activate Visual Composer” I’m taken to wpbakery.com and it says “NO LICENSES FOUND”.
Hello marcusvilson,
Please keep in mind that the plugin come bundled with the theme packet and it should work as properly, without any activation. You should install the theme via FTP way because this is the surest method in this regard. Also, for more information about Visual Composer, consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks for your understanding!
Because we manually did it. For every page and every image. 🙂
I have another question. Everything except images are working very fast but images are loading slowly. We optimized the images in photoshop to accepted quality & size. I couln’t understand.
The active plugins are

Hello robertocjf,
The theme installing should have to be done via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. For more references about this way, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/ Also, check your server permission with your hosting provider. Also, if you want to modify the .htaccess you should only contact your hosting provider if you do not have access to it. Also. the .htaccess should look like in this image here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/vyl2LTBFW For more information about how you can install the Visual Composer, please consult the guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks for your understanding!
Try downgrading the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin to 4.9 and this works well for me, not only this issue but with other issues as well.
I have tried with many other ways but finally nailed the issue. I have downgraded the WPBakery Visual Composer to 4.9 and works well with latest theme.
Hello,
Whenever I try to start adding section with my page builder to my homepage by “adding an element” I open it up and click on an element I want to add and nothing happens. I have tried activating and deactivating the plugin but no luck. Does anyone else know how to fix this? I would like to avoid having to pay another $37 to download a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer. Please let me
Ben
Hi
I managed to fix the problem after posting it here.
@Accomm – try clearing all caches and resetting your CDN once after you have deactivated all plugins apart from visual bakery. activate one at a time after. That did the trick for us.
All the best
cheers
Hello,
Compatibility with php 7.0 was added in newspaper 7.6 so please update your theme using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
As for visual composer, sorry but we are not the plugin author. Compatibility with php 7 must be added by the plugin author as we cannot edit the plugin ourselves. It will break our license agreement with wpbakery.
Multumesc
