- NewspaperHow to update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
- NewspapertagDiv Composer Tutorial
- NewspaperWhat’s Included in the Newspaper Theme Package
My website, http://www.amisun.com, is having problems where I cannot edit the pages on the backend. A web manager friend looked at it and believes that TagDiv and WP Bakery have somehow been intertwined on our pages to create a mixed development environment. I’m hoping someone with TagDiv can look at it and let me know if that is what’s happening and causing me to not be able to edit the pages and, if it is, how to fix it. Thank you!
I recently upgraded from Version 9.5 with WPBakery to Version 11.5.1 (with TD Composer/Cloud Builder/Standard Pack on). It seemed to go alright but after a few days it became clear that ads on the site aren’t showing up for a good portion of the audience.
For those it does, it takes up to 10-15 seconds to load them because they seem to be the last things to load on the page, and even when they do there’s a lot of errors in the console, either ‘address unreachable’ or missing consent value issues.
It’s not a server issue. If I include the ad code directly through the header, there is no delay – they load instantly. It’s including them through the ‘Ads’ part in the theme panel that leads to the issue, something is slowing things way down.
I’ve switched off all non tagdiv plugins to test, with the exception of Iubenda for GDPR compliance which has to stay on, and the slowdown is still there.
My assumption is it’s something to do with one of the TD plugins. I’ve noticed that the one page I have built in TD composer (the homepage), one block on the page has an ajax category filter that is also delayed a good 10-15 seconds and then shows up at the exact same time the ads do – every single time.
At this point I don’t know what to do. I can’t roll back to Version 9.5 of the theme because it’s too outdated. Switching off the standard pack leaves the site a mess. At this point I’m considering just hard coding the ads into the files somehow or moving to a whole different theme after seven years with you guys.
Any suggestions I could test? I can’t share the site URL publicly, so what should I do?

Hi,
There can be some layout issues when using cloud post templates, and the WPBakery plugin is active on the website. I see the WPBakery plugin is active on your website.
Please note that the WPBakery plugin is optional, and not required in any way. Or are you using it for something perhaps? If you do, and you cannot deactivate it to solve the problem, please let me know and I will provide a solution for the layout.
Thank you!
Hello, question. Is is posible that the theme caused a problem with my server? I installed Newspaper 11 and TagDiv Composer last night (my web was working on newspaper 9 and with the WP Bakery) and snce i made the new home page my website shows the “error establishing a connection to the database” every now and then, it works perfect for an hour and suddenly that, and so on. So is it something that could happen with the theme? maybe over saturation of the server for the instalation? of so what should i do? Thanks!
Hello,
I’m sorry to say this, but we no longer recommend to use the WPBakery with our theme. Also the frontend version for this plugin has never tested with our theme.
If you want it, you can try, but it is possible to be some conflicts between cloud template sand the WPBakery plugin.
Thank you!
Hi,
We have several pages on our site that don’t use TagDiv components and we would like to enable the Fronted Editor mode for WPBakery to use on those pages.
I read in an older post about removing td_wp_booster_functions.php from includes/wp-booster. Is this still a valid instruction in 2022 (the post from was from 2018)?
Thanks,
Jonathan
Hi yoyo,
I believe that you have set a single post template from the tagDiv Cloud Library, those can be edited using the tagDiv Composer.
Now in case that the template it is not displayed on frontend like in tagDiv Composer, then it can be because of a plugin conflict. Most of the time it is related to WP Bakery plugin. This should not be used with tagDiv Cloud Library, only with tagDiv Standard Pack.
I hope this will help you!
Let us know the results!
Hi,
Unfortunately, I do not know exactly when this will be add, but it should be in the coming updates.
Now, this will not be a frontend editor for posts, it will only allow users to submit posts directly from the frontend, the posts layout will be the one that is set as global.
1. Yes and no.
(yes) You can use the WPBakery/Visual Composer with Newspaper v11, but it will be need to use it with standard templates from tagDiv Standard Pack (no) but not with cloud templates.
2. Ever since we added this plugin as compatible with our theme we have never encouraged its use for post creation -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ -> https://i.imgur.com/3nQYxJT.png
Indeed, users who have used WPBakery with standard templates have not reported any issues for the posts that were made with this plugin.
We recommend to not use more then one builder per page/post because most of the time this will create problems. So you can have both plugins enabled, but you need to use only one for theme per page/post.
The WPBakery Page Builder plugin is and Bundled Plugin in our theme not a standalone plugin ( you do not need a license to use the version that comes with our theme ), please check the envato documentation for those plugins
https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/213762463-Bundled-Plugins
The license provided is only for the theme.
Thank you!
Besides, I’ve another question, I was watching few articles about WpBakery and Visual Composer So my questions would be straight to the point.
1. Does WPBakery/Visual Composer is compatible and functional with Newspaper 11 Theme?
2. If the aboveis YES then the post content editor what we want to achieve with TagDiv Composer, would that be possible through WpBakery or Visual Composer?
I’ve seen articles that says if WpBakery is being used then don’t use TagDiv Composer as it suggests not to use two Page builders at the same time. We have installed WP Bakery from the plugin package supplied within the theme. But when we are deactivating TagDiv Composer to activate and use WPBakery the site breaks. Therefore how can we use WPBakery if it works for us?
WPBakery supplied by you also requires licensing registration, how do we activate the same?

Hello,
Maybe you have a header style set from Theme Panel, please make sure you the tagDiv Standard Pack. Also, the same for the footer.
We do not encourage you to use Wp Bakery at all. Please note that the WP Bakery has a conflict with the TagDiv Composer. Please use only one builder and not both. So, I gladly recommend you to shift from WPBakery to Composer, because WPBakery is an old builder plugin. Please check our guide to know how to shift from WPBakery to Composer: https://www.screencast.com/t/6xLVMmlsY ; https://www.screencast.com/t/zWHrRmK1LQC ; https://www.screencast.com/t/vuFdT9Stx ; https://www.screencast.com/t/DWbSf3qj ; https://www.screencast.com/t/QuHyGccTK71v

Hello, it seems that since I did uptade the theme, I lost lot of things :
-my logo in header, and in the header styles I do not find any with the logo
-my footer
-all my homepage blocks from wp bakery are gone, and in it they dont exist anymore to create it again
Am I alone to have such problems ? If someone has a solution to that ? Thanks 🙂
Hello,
Since there is a big difference between the versions, problems may occur.
I saw that you use WP Bakery, and you probably use it in many sections of the site, but if you update it will interfere with tagDiv Composer, which is our page builder. What I could suggest you is to divide your site into two parts, and build the new website with the tagDiv Composer, and for which page you want you can redirect to the old website.
Also, if you want to update the theme I recommend that you update the theme on a staging website and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the look of the website.
Before the update, please make a full backup of all files and the database if something goes wrong. => https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Here you can find information about the changes that have occurred in each update over time https://tagdiv.com/newspaper/

Hello,
I think the problem is because you have a very old version of the theme, and only the latest version of the theme is compatible with the latest version of wordpress.
Many changes have been made over the years, and the latest version of the theme is 11.5.1
Also, if you want to update the theme I recommend that you update the theme on a staging website and make sure that you have activated the tagDiv Standard pack plugin to keep the look of the website. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

Ohhh, nevermind, now i know all about this.
1. WP Bakery is not recomended now
2. I had Version 9.6.1, in currently we have options for one main site and one “staging”.
Hi there,
How can i upgrade from v9 to v11?
plugins:
I read that i should add the plugin ‘standard-pack’.
When installing it also says to add the plugin ‘tagdiv composer’. But we’re using the WPbakery composer – and i read we should only use one? For now i let them both co-exist.
(child-)theme
Now i upload the v11-child-theme to wp-content/themes. But in the WP-backend appearance > themes it doesn’t show and i get the message: “The parent theme is missing. Please install the “Newspaper” parent theme.”
other
Then the last is how can i add my code properly from child-v9 to child-v11? We’re using an extra line to implement some extra php:
“require_once(“additionals.php”);”
I’m confused here, hope you can point me in the right direction after this overhaul. Cheers, Ed’
Hi,
I can confirm that i am not using WPBakery on the site.
I have deactivated all plugins except tagDiv plugins (you can see in the screenshots below).
I have deactivated WP Super Cache & cleared all cache.
I then uninstalled & reinstalled the Gossip Pro pre-built website.
It is still the same situation.
This time, it also displays the following text below the footer:
y-campaign/” rel=” bookmark” class=”td-image-wrap ” title=”These Fabulous Photos Will Have Astonishing Impact for Any Campaign” >
I note that this is not an issue when viewing the site on a mobile device but shows on a desktop/laptop.

Hello,
Usually, this problem can appear when you are using the WPBakery if you have this plugin enables then please disable it and try again. There may be a conflict between WPBakery and the tagDiv cloud library.
Make sure there is not a plugin conflict or a cache issue. Please make a test, deactivate ALL plugins except tagDiv ones, also if you are using a cache plugin, deactivate it, clear all cache and try again.
Thank you!
Hi, I am so unhappy. Suddenly the WpBakery page builder doesn’t work. I updated the theme. When I then wanted to create an new Blog Post, it was completely gone. Then I deactivated it as described in the forum, deleted it and reinstalled the composer plugin. Still, he’s gone. Also the revolution slider isn’t work. i can not activated it. Could you please help me or reinstall/activate it right away. I’m on the road and my options are somewhat limited. That would be great. Thanks in advance.
Best regards

Hi Calin:
Yes, I understand I have to use the TagDiv mobile builder (previously Bakery Builder code worked there, which was so helpful), but even that does not work.
Certain shortcodes work fine; other shortcodes appear as the shortcode itself, not rendering correctly. See mobile screen cap:
Hi fwoedit,
I’m sorry that my colleagues may have failed to answer you in turn. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you exactly why.
I just created a page with CU Bakery and it seems to work on mobile theme plugin like any other page created with another builder, more specifically, it is not displayed, and content must be created in the mobile editor according to our documentation -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/
Now if you have somehow created posts with WPBakery, then this may be a problem, from the beginning we recommended that this builder be used with our theme only for pages -> https://i.imgur.com/LVfaZJA.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
If those are not the issues you have, please provide more details and some screenshots.
Thank you!
I’m having a rather serious issue with my website, and I’m truly hoping you can help.
I was using Newspaper *8* for years with WPBakery Page Builder.
(I think WPBakery was the standard for Newspaper for a long time?)
So I decided to upgrade to Newspaper 11, and fortunately WPBakery Page Builder still works.
However, if I attempt to turn on the tagDiv Mobile Theme Plugin, WPBakery Page Builder suddenly no longer works, and users just see WPBakery code.
So I thought maybe I should try and re-create the WPBakery pages (i.e., all website pages) in TagDiv Builder (is that what needs to happen?), but I don’t believe I can use TagDiv Builder correctly while WPBakery Page Builder is active? It seems to want to create TagDiv Builder code nested in WPBakery code, which obviously makes no sense.
So my option seems to be to turn off WPBakery while I rebuild all the pages in TagDiv Builder, which obviously will take a long time, and I can’t have the website off while I do all of that reconstruction. (Could take days.)
I can’t even do it on a staging site, because the website is to big (I’ve tried before), and actively accruing memberships throughout the day.
What is the correct approach here?
Is there any way to make the TagDiv Mobile plugin work correctly with WPBakery?
Hello!
Please make sure you do not have WP Bakery installed and active, clear the cache and try again.
Let me know the results!
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m sorry, but from the very beginning, we recommended WP BAKERY only for pages, not for posts, because from the beginning this functionality has not been tested -> https://i.imgur.com/CpUnFkr.png -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Also, in the beginning, we did implementations with WPBAKERY, but before we had our page builder, but after that, we didn’t do implementations with WP Bakery, but with tagDiv Composer, we only did small fixes for it, nothing more.
I don’t know if it would be a solution to disable tagDiv composer, because all the theme features are now in tagDiv composer.
What we can help you with is CSS code, if it can solve it.
Thank you for your understanding!
I am not using WP Bakery. The plugin is not in my dashboard.
