Per your comment, “If you want you can use the WP Bakery without the TagDiv Composer.”
When we deactivate TagDiv Composer, the site breaks and we see td shortcode everywhere So as much as we want to use WPBakery without TagDiv Composer, we cannot.
We understand there’s a conflict when using 2 page builders. The problem is there’s an even bigger conflict when we go to deactivate TagDiv Builder.
If we can use WPBakery without TagDiv Composer as you suggest, can you please show us how or provide instructions?
Hello!
I understand your thoughts.
Unfortunately, you can not use 2 builders in the same time. If you want you can use the WP Bakery without the TagDiv Composer.
I gladly recommend you to shift from WPBakery to Composer, because WPBakery is an old builder plugin. Please check those screenshots 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
Thank you for understanding!
I wanted to follow up on this because we’re experiencing more issues with WPBakery. Per your comment above, you said “The plugin [WPBakery] is in our theme, but we do not longer recommend it to use it. We have long recommended using only a one-page builder, not both, because some options in tagDiv Composer may no longer work due to WPBakery.”
We built our whole site using WPBakery because it was originally included in your theme. We have 125 published pages and 13,935 posts. Do we need to rebuild all our posts and pages using tagDiv Composer? Or can we simply deactivate tagDiv Composer to stop the conflict?
It’s my understanding that if we deactivate the tagDiv Composer plugin (to prevent the conflict), the theme will not fully work (resulting in more conflicts).
We understand that having both page builders active causes a conflict. We don’t want to run both page builders – we want to only use WPBakery since that’s what was originally included and was the page builder used to create 124 pages and 13,000+ posts. However, it seems that you’re forcing everyone to use tagDiv Composer, and that your page builder plugin is causing a direct conflict with the previous page builder plugin you included and supported.
Can we just deactivate the tagDiv Composer plugin to resolve the conflict, or is that plugin required for the theme to function properly? Can you please provide some insight?
For some of us customers, we bought Newspaper back in the day when you guys used WPBakery as the primary page builder for your theme. It appears that you guys decided to create your own page builder (which is fine), but you did it in a way that is no longer compatible with the previous page builder you guys included with your theme.
What are your older customers supposed to do when we’ve built hundreds of pages using the page builder you originally provided, and it’s no longer compatible now because you guys decided to create your own page builder which directly conflicts with it?
You guys offer no way to convert anything. The theme does not work now without your page builder plugin being active. And when your tagDiv Composer is active, it overrides and breaks the previous page builder you included with the theme.
I don’t understand how you guys think this is okay? I have no problem with you guys introducing an additional page builder as an alternative, but a new page builder that breaks the old page builder and is directly incompatible?
Also, the link above on “how to shift from WPBakery to Composer” does not work. The whole situation just seems really unacceptable. Why should be people buy this theme or continue to use it knowing you guys might decide to introduce another new page builder in a couple years that breaks the previous page builders we’ve all built our sites with?
Hello Jacco!
There is a conflict between TagDiv Composer and WP Bakery.
Disable the lazy load animation: https://www.screencast.com/t/O5pfqQdb, delete the cache and see the results.
Thank you!
Hi!
I’ve been busy building a new website (based on an old one) and both websites use the Newspaper theme.
The new website is now ready to go live but just one more thing, migrating al the posts from the old website to the new one. When i use the WordPress importer to import the XML all seems to be going fine but the Featured images for every post won’t show. How do i fix this? I tried the plugin “regenerate thumbnails” but no effect. Could it have perhaps something to do with the old website using WP Bakery page builder and the new one TagDiv composer? Seems unlikely because it only concerns the featured image for every post that is not showing.
The new website can be viewed Here
Thanks for your help!

Hello,
Our theme has its own page builder, tagDiv Composer.
We have long recommended shifting from WPBakery to tagDiv Composer because there is a conflict between the two and they cannot be used together.
So, you can start to create the pages with the tagDiv Composer.
Also, on our channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOT1RiNysIPCTPSnVZskwtQ, you can find more videos that can help you and documentation https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/ and you can ask us here on the forum if you have any questions.
You can find the WP Bakery in this path Newspaper-tf\code\other_plugins if you want to use it.
Thank you!

Hello. Can you take a look at the link below and let me know why I’m seeing these errors on post pages after disabling WP Bakery? https://wannado.com/11-fireworks-displays-across-middle-tennessee/
Hello, I’ve read the support threads but I wanted to make my own.
I’ve used this theme on several different sites and this is the first site I’ve ever encountered the theme panel not saving. And I’ve used the same hosting company before.
I installed the theme demo of newsmag but without the content, so the design only. Then I am using WPBakery Page Builder. I use the wpbakery page builder on this theme and have never had issues before.
It says there’s a yellow icon and the memory limit is 40 and it suggests 256.
Already deactivated plugins and did suggestion with wordfence, both deactivating it completely and setting it on learning mode.
My questions are:
Is the memory limit the issue? And I need to increase the memory to 256?
If I call the hosting company, what specifically do I ask them to change in regards to this issue?
Thank you.
Hi Calin,
thank you! The sidebar issue is fixed when i disable the WPBakery plugin but the Disqus comments are still not loaded. We already use Disqus Conditional Load.
Hi,
The problem with the sidebar is related to a plugin conflict between tagDiv Cloud library and an extra plugin, this plugin is WPBakery, this is overwriting the cloud settings for rows.
so to have the nice layout you’ll need to disable the WPBakery plugin, or use some custom css to adjust the css.
AS for the Disqus plugin, please use this one -> https://i.imgur.com/ekEVAVu.png
Thank you!
Hi,
Most of the time this problem it is created by an extra plugin. Please make a test using only the tagDiv plugins and see if the problem persist.
One of the plugins that can create this kind of problems is WP Bakery plugin.
Let me know the results!
Hi vawn,
I faced a similar issue as well. I was trying to upgrade our website from Newspaper 9.7.2 to 11.4.3, and WPBakery Page Builder from 5.5.2 to (latest version used in Newspaper 11.4.3).
The following steps worked for me (using latest version of WordPress 5.9.3):
- Activate WordPress default theme (Twenty Twenty Two)
- Deactivate then delete Newspaper 9.7.2
- Deactivate then delete WP Bakery Page Builder 5.5.2
- Install then activate WP Bakery Page Builder in Newspaper 11.4.3 (from Newspaper folder > code > other_plugins > js_composer.zip)
- Install then activate Newspaper 11.4.3 (using Newspaper.zip)
- Install/Update theme plugins, especially Standard Pack plugin
Hope this helps!
Cheers 🙂
Hello!
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.
This plugin can be find in the Newspaper-tf\code\other_plugins.
Thank you!
Hi,
I need the WPBakery updated plugin zip file because I can not update it from WordPress admin area. It says You have to buy a personal license key but I received the WPBackery zip file in my new theme folder.
Please provide me with the latest updated plugin zip file of WPBackey Page builder.
Hi,
I’m sorry, I was referring to WP Bakery plugin, but the second time when I write it I think that the corrector changed it in WP Rocket plugin.
What I mean is that it is possible to be a plugin conflict and you can make a test using only tagDiv plugins to see if the problem persist.
Thank you!
Hi,
Most of the time this is do to a plugin conflict. Please check if you do not have the WP Bakery plugin enabled, this is interfering with the cloud templates and is change the layout for columns. We recommend to disable the WP Rocket to have a nice cloud template layout.
Let me know the results!
Hello!
Do not use any other possible builders like Elementor, Wp Bakery together with the TagDiv Composer.
If you want to save the content, then you can place the content in an element like “Column text” or “Text with title”.
Thank you!

Hello hope all is well.
I have set up this theme for a client, and now it has been awhile since checking it again. and it seems like something is wrong with, I’ve updated all plugins except wpbakery, I think thats the issue. But in general everything takes time to upload and if I want to create a new page with tag composer it doesn’t work.
So please if you can just check what is up with theme, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you
Nour.
I’ve buy the newspaper 11 theme and I can’t find the WPbakery page builder. Where van I find it?
Hi Calin,
Actually, the page was created when WPBakery was a built-in part of Newspaper and the only way to design pages. It’s a pity that this is no longer supported, as it means extra work. But yes, if I disable WPBakery and rebuild the pages with TagDiv Composer, it seems to solve the problem.
I add the post ID filter in exactly the same way. However, it doesn’t seem to work for the Single Post template, no matter which Post ID I try. Any idea what this could be due to?
Thanks!
Hi,
The problem with the sidebar is caused by a plugin conflict. Most of the time it is about the WPBakery plugin with tagDiv Cloud Library. We recommend to use only one of them.
About the post filter, if you set the post id in this place -> https://i.imgur.com/ukhHAiF.png the problem should be resolved. If this is not working, please try with a different id and in case that the problem persist, try using only tagDiv plugins.
Thank you!
