- NewspaperHow to update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
- NewspapertagDiv Composer Tutorial
- NewspaperWhat’s Included in the Newspaper Theme Package
Yes, this happened to me as well.
There used to be ‘header styles’ and ‘footer templates’ that were built in and accessed in the theme panel. I bought 8 licenses of Newspaper and built all of my sites using these styles and templates, but now that I had had to upgrade to v12.x.x because of a malware infection, I find that they are simply not there and the sites look broken. I do not understand why they didn’t simply re-create the original templates in tagdiv-composer when they got rid of WPBakery builder and build them into the theme panel. Instead, I had to scour their cloud templates for similar looking templates and then customize them with tagdiv-composer.
While in the past everything was set and controlled from the theme panel, now with the latest versions you have to set some settings at theme panel and some from tagdiv-composer itself, making things even more confusing and harder to troubleshoot. Also, tagdiv-composer and WPBakery don’t play well together, so I have to switch the WPBakery plugin off when I need to work with tagdiv-composer, which is often because now it is central to everything. 80% of the content of the websites I work with was created with WPBakery, so its not an option to recreate all the content with tagdiv-composer. I did this for a handful of pages and it was too clunky and time consuming, so I gave up.
I hope this is helpful to you in some way.
An error occurred while updating WPBakery Page Builder: Incorrect license key.
Thanks
Hi Bettina,
The screenshots you’ve posted don’t seem to be relevant to our question. They only talk about why Newspaper switched from WP Bakery to Composer, and why we should recreate our pages in Composer.
We would love to recreate our pages in Composer, but the error is thrown on every page, even when creating a new one. See this screenshot from composer when trying to create a new page. https://gundigeststg.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/composer-error.png
Composer doesn’t function while this error is present – no elements can be added at all.
How do we resolve this error so that we can create new pages or edit with composer?
Also, you didn’t address the main issue, which is the header not showing on one of our sites after the update, but showing on the other. What would cause the header to not show or be available? Please look at the production (Newspaper9) and Staging (Newspaper12) links I posted for each site to see what I mean.
Am I correct in assuming that we need to have Composer functioning correctly (ie resolve the error) to edit the header? Is editing the header in Composer the only way to resolve the issue we are experiencing?
Thank you,

Hello!
No, it’s deprecated. We recommend using cloud/PRO templates in order to have the possibility to edit them with the TagDiv Composer, which contains a lot of functions and features, Please check our tutorial here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More documentation about the cloud templates is here:
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/design-post-pages-using-cloud-library-templates/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloud-library-category-templates/
You can update the theme automatically or manually. Please check our guide from here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

Hello!
Our site is not loading images anymore and running on php7.4
I tried to update to Newspaper 12 but that broke the site completely.
What should I do? Can we update to 12? Is 12 still using WP Bakery?
Thank you in advance.
Hello again,
I did other checks, the Homepage post block,[td_block_homepage_full_1], no longer works when displaying the website in Desktop mode with version 12.6.1, unlike version 12.5.1.Even disabling all plugins other than yours.
I did not edit my main page with WPBakery but rather with TagDiv Composer. The preview works well, but immediately live, the block does not appear. Only viewed from a smartphone.
From there, I don’t know what to do to get my main page back with the display as I had defined it before unless I return to version 12.5.1.
Please find a solution, thanks in advance,
Luc Laporte
Good morning,
Since updating from version 12.5.1 to version 12.6.1 there is a problem with the layout of the home page. I designed my home page with WPBakery. On the version viewed on a mobile everything is fine but on the Desktop version the HomePage Post block does not appear.
Also, the X share icon, formerly Twitter, is different on the Desktop version than on the mobile version. The new icon is corrected on the Desktop version but not on the version viewed from a phone. I don’t use the mobile plugin.
Also, the Social counter plugin still displays the old Twitter logo and not X. When are you going to update?
My website is mesplaisirs.com
I cleared all caches and nothing works like before. I really want to go back to version 12.5.1 even if the X logos are not up to date, at least everything else worked very well.
Please take my comments into consideration to improve the situation and your product.
Thank you in advance,
Luc Laporte
Hi Tagdiv,
So what is the final solution here?
This is just a work around on how to identify where is the malware.
Did you already have a fix for the vulnerability? Even if we follow steps here – there’s always a tendency for the site to be hacked again unless you apply a fix to the plugin/theme.
Your response puts us in circles.
You reply the solution is in this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/wp-zexit-malware-and-newspaper-theme-problem-please-see/
Then that link points to this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/update-tag-div-composer-and-wp-bakery-page-builder-plugin/
It is stated here that there’s a vulnerability in your Theme/Plugin:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/backdoor-in-td-composer-allows-anyone-to-append-css-code-to-the-page-by-making-a/
So what is the final fix to prevent this? Do you expect us to just fix this everytime this happens – knowing that the theme has a vulnerability?
Hello christianmuda, according to your screenshot I think that you have an extra plugin that is interfering with the theme row. Do you use the WP Bakery/Js Composer plugin? Because this is interfering with cloud templates. If you have extra plugins, please do a test using only tagDiv plugins and see if the problem persist.
Thank you!

Hello!
@Kpkna Thank you for sharing a possible solution for this malware.

Hello, I have Newspaper version 10.2 and my antivirus won’t let me go to the my website with the JS/Agent.RAN trojan warning.
I would like to update tag div composer and WP Bakery page builder plugin, but I would not change the Newspaper version. Please help how to do it, thanks
Hello Team,
There are lots of issues we are facing –
1) The inbuild Visual Composer – WP BAKERY – is not filtering posts properly – Example – If you check the homepage – There is a Category ED ORIGINALS – it should show post just from this category – but its showing post from Politics, Technology etc – https://snipboard.io/HqIp8j.jpg
2) I tried to create a page from TAG DIV COMPOSER – but unable to import any prebuilt templates – when I click on Import Template – it does nothing.
3) The Most Used Hide Post Plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/whp-hide-posts/ – is not working on your theme
4) The slowness on the website still continues randomly
5) We cannot share staging server because I have to create a new clone server which will cost us 300 DOLLARS which we cannot afford now – if you want we can share you a one time ZIP BACKUP of the complete website with database and you can try to solve the issue on your side – once you solve it – you can guide us the steps on live
Please help us on this and solve it – its creating lots of issues
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/
I checked the post and the images are displayed -> https://i.imgur.com/aYUHRP7.jpg
Thank you!
I don’t think I have ever used WP bakery.
Hi,
Do you use the WP Bakery plugin? If yes, please disable and check after.
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

If anyone is wondering on this, the support page shows the location of the plugin incorrectly.
The plugin location is under code>otherplugins folder
Hi,
I think that you have a plugin conflict, please let only tagDiv plugins activated, deactivate also, the wp bakery plugin, and check after, because I did a test, and for me works -> https://i.imgur.com/dFurMxn.png
Thank you!
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!
Yes, I used to use WP BAKERY PLUGIN, but not any more. the Plugin was deactivated and doesn’t have updated version to compatible with the current PHP version. So, could you suggest removing them from the code in the backend?
Hello,
Did you use WP BAKERY PLUGIN? If yes, then please activate the plugin to delete the elements.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can import a homepage template from tagdiv Cloud Library if you like one -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ -> https://cloud.tagdiv.com/#/load/Homepages
Please note not to edit the page with WP Bakery.
