Is Newspaper totally unusable without TagDiv Compoers from 9.7? Yes/No.
If “no” – Will WpBakery work if you have a separate lisence together with Newspaper?

Hi Edragon
I have exactly the same situation. The site was build with wpbakery long time before tagDiv composer comes.
I haven’t update yet the Newspaper theme yet, i have version 9.6 and TagDiv composer is disabled. Everything is working ok. May i ask what was the issue and how you fixed it? For sure i will have the same issue when i update the theme.
Thanks
Do I understand correctly that if someone wants now new Newspaper updates they need to rebuild the whole website from the beginning? Because of this is exactly I faced today morning when I decided to upgrade Newspaper theme. Within 3 minutes I restored the previous version from backup. And yes I have TagDiv composer installed and activated, but I use WPBakery. The reason is simple, the whole website has been built by using WPBakery, there was no TagDiv composer back in that time. Also, WPBakery is way more user-friendly, understandable and easier to use than tagdiv which looks pretty complicated and rough. And anyway changing it would also mean to build everything up from the beginning.
Anyway if Envato makes new rules and are forcing Theme builders to change stuff and make them change themes less user friendly, maybe it’s time to say bye bye to Envato?
Hi,
The mobile theme is a plugin that provide you a better speed then responsive version of theme, but in order to achieve that speed you’ll need to create a new content for pages because in the most of cases those were made with builders ( tagDiv Composer, WPBakery ) and you need to use only the mobile editor ( you need to set the content for pages in mobile editor and this content will be display on mobile theme)
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/ebUIzt4se
If you want the responsive version and amp you should use this opinion -> https://www.screencast.com/t/jZct5ueBqOrb but if you have amp activate on pages you’ll need to create in Mobile editor a content for AMP version of page.
Also please check our documentation for Mobile Theme: Automatic Optimization for Mobile with Newspaper Theme -> https://tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-automatic-optimization-for-mobile-newspaper-theme/
I think that you are referring to those 3 blocks, for those you’ll need to have set seam feature posts (that have set feature category) -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ -> https://www.screencast.com/t/QsJ6ppY4
You’ll need to add some post in feature category -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ if you do not have this category you can create it, just make sure that you set the category name to be
Featured
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello folks, when I activate TagDiv composer, the posts built with WPBakery are affected in a way that I have some elements that should be visible only on mobile and some that should be visible only on desktop, and these settings dont work anymore. They are always visible on both devices. TagDiv Composer is making these settings obsolete and they dont work.
Please look into this. BTW I bought 6 licenses of your theme and I am loving it, and I would really appreciate if you could solve this conflict between these 2 plugins. I am not using both page builders on the same page. Its not the issue.

Hi,
The Newspaper theme update brings a change for the customers that use WP Bakery Page Builder with our Theme:
When you’ll be updating to the Newspaper 9.7 version, you’ll need to activate the tagDiv Composer to keep the Newspaper theme functionality you’ve previously used.
Otherwise, you will have basic WordPress functionality, complying with Envato WordPress Requirements – https://help.author.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000472383-WordPress-Theme-Requirements
Single image elements work differently in each of the builders, but they use the same shortcode. So there will be design loaded from each builder resulting in a conflict.
Thank you for your understanding!

You can use the WP Bakery page builder as you did before the update
We recommended you to do not use the tagDiv Composer and WP Bakery page builders on the same page though, because you cannot edit with WP Baker blocks and shortcodes created with tagDiv Composer or vice-versa.
If there is still a problem, please provide some more details, some screenshots and a link were I can inspect this problem.
Thank you!
Hi,
Not taken the chance to update to the new version yet but have a questions regarding WPBakery which I use with Newspaper.
You write that: “4.2 Existing customer previously using the WPBakery Page Builder
This update will bring a small change in the way you work with Newspaper Theme as you will need to activate the tagDiv Composer plugin and keep it enabled.
Go to your WordPress admin area > Newspaper> Plugins and click the tagDiv Composer “Install/Activate” button.”
How is this if you have WPBakery as a separate plugin? I’ve got a separate license for WpBakery and don’t use the version that comes with the theme. Do I still need to activate Tagdiv composer? Last time I activeted tagdiv composer it caused all sorts of problems (and it can’t be used on pages) so I would prefer to avoid having it activated.
Hope you can give me some good advice.
Thanks,
Lars

Indeed the mentioned elements face issues (images) and we wil try to fix these issues in the next theme update.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Thank you!

Hi, after the update (9./), only one thing doesn’t work anymore.
If the WPBakery Page Builder is used to create a single image, the settings for the size of the image no longer work. It will be truncated and displayed in full size.
I mean these settings:
Enter image size (Example: “thumbnail”, “medium”, “large”, “full” or other sizes defined by theme). Alternatively enter size in pixels (Example: 200×100 (Width x Height)).
In all cases I use “full” and the pic fits to the column.
The problem used to exist, but only if the TagDiv Composer was activated in addition to the WPBakery Page Builder. Then I just turned off the TagDiv Composer and the problems were gone. Now the TagDiv Composer has to be activated additionally. What can I do now?
Thanks, genloc
Hi,
After this infamous update none of my stretched rows are stretched anymore although they are stretched in WP Bakery.
I am sure you know what to do.
Thank you
My entire site is built in WP Bakery. Since we are now forced to activate tagDiv Composer, I’m having a few issues with WP Bakery elements showing correctly. Background images do not work, parallax does not show the image, some columns are showing at 100% and single images are not shown correctly. Will there be a fix for this? I’d prefer to not have to rebuild my entire website.
Hello, as I use WPBakery Page Builder and I’m not ready for such a change may I have the previous version ?
Thank you in advance

Hi, I purchased the theme, but how to activate WPBakery it keeps asking with an annoying message: “Hola! Would you like to receive automatic updates and unlock premium support? Please activate your copy of WPBakery Page Builder.”

I had to turn the Tag Duv cutomizer off due to conflicts with WP Bakery. Is there any way using CSS that I can increase both the header size as well as the logo size?
Hi,
We recommend to use only on builder, tagDiv Composer is the theme builder and all futures from our theme are implement in this builder.
The WPBakery Page Builder plugin is and Bundled Plugin in our theme not a standalone plugin, please check the envato documentation for those plugins
https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/213762463-Bundled-Plugins
Is not indicate to use both builder, but if you need to use both them please do not use the single image in WPBakery you can use instead the text block and ad from there the media -> https://www.screencast.com/t/8BN6NxImKv , the single image is an element with the same structure but different classes and provide conflicts between builders.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
There is not very recommended to use builders in post because those will make conflicts when you try to use AMP.
But if you want to use some elements in post you can do that, but with tagDvi Composer will be a beet tricky because was no build for post, but you can use the WPBakery for post, this is more easy to use and is build to can be use on posts and pages.
Thank you for your understanding!
