Thanks for response Alin! We’ll do some tests.
We like the grid more because of the gradient color but WPBakery/Elementor should be able to create something like that. We thought about it earlier.
Back to the grid again:-
1. There are Title, Author and Published Date shown – Is it possible for us to manage the location? e.g. to make it center horizontally or vertically or both.
2. Can we manage the gradient color? E.g for Grid Style 3 – Flat Colours. Just wonder whether we are allowed to change the color without going to the code.
Thanks again!
Hi,
You can use widget sidebar in pages built with page builders, through the widget/widgetised sidebar element.
Both the tagDiv composer and WPBakery have such an element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/14xhW4VT7E
– https://www.screencast.com/t/kdjiqkk8WDEP
When using a page builder to build a page the sidebar has to be defined in the builder itself. When the page is not built with a composer the setting you mention will be available.
If you have a problem different than what is mentioned, please provide exact details about it so we can investigate it.
Thanks
Hi,
1. Why exactly can’t the WPBakery page builder be used anymore? It is provided in the theme package and we test it periodically, usually when it is updated
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
There is no need to active the WPBakery plugin, only purchased versions from the plugin author will have a license key. The bundled version with the theme doesn’t have to be activated.
What are the problems you are having with the WPBakery page builder?
2. Here are some guides – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Block settings guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/’
The tagDiv composer is a front-end builder only. It’s possibilities were greatly increased by the addition of the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
If you have more questions please let us know.
Thanks
1. The js_composer.zip (wpbakery page builder) plugin why can’t be used anymore, the plugin does not appear again in the edit / add page, what is possible because of requesting activation, how to activate it.
2. Please provide a clearer explanation of how to use tagdiv composer
Hi,
Yes, that will be the proper way to do it. The full theme packages contain a plugins folder, there you will find the WPBakery page builder as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The latest theme package contains the latest WPBakery version – 5.6.
Thanks
Nevermind – it was an update issue – for anyone else reading this / having this issue, the tagDiv Composer didn’t update itself with the theme, same for WP Bakery / Visual Composer, and you’re required to go to Plugins -> deactivate and delete both of them, then manually upload them once again, after downloading the updated Newspaper theme from themeforest. Activate them, and it’ll work.
Hi,
A license for WPBakery is provided by the plugin author only if you purchase the plugin.
We provide a bundled version, this does not require any activation
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please ignore the activation messages from WPBakery, there will be no problem.
Thanks
May you advise how to activate WPBakery Page Builder License
Hi, I stated in original post that I disabled ALL plugins but WP Bakery Page Builder and that issue still exist.
I managed to find solution on my own, this option wasnt turned on http://prntscr.com/lwrnbx after I turned it on, everything is fine
Hello, my website (used WP Bakery) is messed up after last 2 updates (just found out about it, so I dont know which one messed it up). Tried disabling all plugins but WP Bakery, still same result.
https://banjalucanke.com/?s=bla
On other hand, my second website is working fine. All same plugins, exact same setup, etc.
Any ideas?
Hi Simion,
Thank you for the information. We have purchased few premium themes with WPBakery included, all with this ‘SIDEBAR’ including Newspaper.
After reading the discussion from links in your response, we disabled these codes which eventually works as how we wanted.
https://www.screencast.com/t/7NU4jsu7G06
Now, we are happy. Case closed and thank you for the assistance.
Hi,
WPBakery has not declared PHP 7.3 compatibility as far as I know
– https://kb.wpbakery.com/docs/preface/release-notes/
So there could be problems. The theme could also be affected, or other plugins. We recommend using PHP up to 7.2 if possible, then there should be no issues.
Thanks
Hi Catalin,
Sorry for late response, was away.
Our website is https://hostingdomainguide.com/ (it is still under construction).
We just realized that the “S I D E B A R” thing appear in:
1. Classic Editor (Image 1)
2. WPBakery: When using Text Block Settings (Image 2)
It is not really problem for us but would be nice if we can utilize those area, especially when using WPBakery.
Thanks.
Hi,
Is Newsmag 4.0 theme fully compatible with WordPress 5.0.1 and Gutenberg? We are using WPBakery Page Builder for front end.
So we are wondering if we should update our site https://www.geospatialworld.net
Thanks and Regards

Hello
I am troubled with how to set “Custom taxonomies” of “CRT & TAXONOMY” in the theme panel.
Used on CPT: tribe_events in ”イベントカテゴリー” ➡tribe_events_cat.
In the event category name: 厳選！充実自然体験, slug: natureexperience etc.
What custom taxonomies should be set in which item in WPBakery Page Builder?
https://idigital.jp/1216.pdf
Thank you.
I am very glad the theme hasn’t changed.
Wordpress has changed. Thank you for all the comments! I sure appreciate the help. I will run the classic editor plug in. I appreciate that tip Calin.
On another note… This is not related to Newspaper… but I thought I would ask-
I had planned on using the Newspaper on a new theme. I purchased Newspaper for a former site, along with the composer license, and I am hoping to switch it over to my new site, and our other one, we have removed the theme and deactivated Composer on. My customer service support has run out, and Bakery has now changed where you cannot just insert the purchase code.
My question is- is there an option to place that code into a new site, or do you basically have to purchase a brand new license? Since your theme operates with Composer, I thought you might know the answer to this…
Thank you very much
Hello, so I’m currently having issues with the preview images when I share links on various websites such as FB and Twitter. They won’t load.
It appears to be caused by the WPBakery plugin but I am not 100% certain. When I deactivate the plugin it does seem to resolve the issue but shortly afterward reverts to the same error. It has happened previously and I did figure out a certain sequence of activating and deactivating certain plugins fixed the issue, however, I can’t recall the details.
With that said, what is the likely cause and fix for this issue?
Hi,
Surely this can be clarified. We provide in the theme package two page builders. The tagDiv composer which is created by us specifically for the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Also the WPBakery page builder, former visual composer. We recommend our composer, since many of the theme features will work only with it, or are designed for it. This is the case for the cloud library plugin for example
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
These two composers are provided in the plugins folder of the full theme package
– https://www.screencast.com/t/LTdkhiyulEr
Many of the theme plugins including the tagDiv composer can also be installed from the theme plugins panel here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/LTdkhiyulEr
If there is still a message mentioning that the tagDiv composer is not active, then maybe you have installed WPBakery and not the tagDiv composer. Please check again and let us know.
Thanks
Hi,
The tagDiv composer can handle theme elements such as blocks, grids and a few others. But if your pages contain specific WPBakery elements like masonry, accordion tabs etc these will not be rendered and they will appear as shortcodes, if WPBakery is inactive.
Also if you used custom row layouts as WPBakery supports for example, there may be problems with the layout.
Maybe consider making a copy or clone of the website (local or in sub-domain) and test there. Deactivate WPBakery and check what happens. This would be better than testing on the live website. Use the duplicator plugin for example

Thanks
Yes, hundreds of issues with this over the last 4+ years, and still not resolved. So I have bought the theme yesterday, installed it and it does not work. If I go to Newspaper -> Plugins it says tagDiv Composer is required….you cannot install it from there since the header is corrupted (same error that has persisted for years, as I can see).
Then I go to plugins, install it manually from the files that I have received, says it is installed and then I activate it. Everything good.
However, on the welcome page it still says “Please install and activate the tagDiv Composer plugin”, and on the plugins page it is marked with “Required”. WordPress version is 5, and this theme’s version is 9.2.1.
On the WordPress plugins page it shows the WPBakery Page Builder (same crap? No?).
In wp_content/js_composer it shows the js_composer folder (now go figure if this is the same as divTag composer…I certainly cant’).
In any case, how do I resolve this and if it cannot be resolved how do I return this and get my money back?
Hi,
I was asking myself if I can deactivate the Visual Composer to improve loading time because the td composer is installed?
Hi,
I am unsure whether you will be able to answer question about third party plugin. WPBakery plugin comes with Newspaper theme which I loved. Theme and plugin works fine but after using WPBakery for sometimes, when working with ‘Text Block Settings’, an empty and unused space with ‘S I D E B A R’ (shown vertically) always on the right. I never bother it before but now wonder if it is possible to disable so that I can maximize the space to edit text.
I have been looking on the net but couldn’t find anything related to this topic. I understand that support will not provided by WPBakery as the plugin comes together with the theme.
No, not in sidebar actually.
I was able to do it with pagebakery, insert widget to homepage area as an element
Bu tagdiv composer dont let me to add widget on an element area.
I wonder is there any tricky way to do it
or may be any other way to show some product on main area
Hi,
@pcservis That would sum it up, good explanation.
There are no plans to exclude or stop providing the WPBakery page builder with the theme. We will not pressure users to switch composers, use one or the other and there will be no problem. WPBakery will be updated same as before, when the theme is updated.
1. It would be necessary in most cases. The exception would be pages that contain only theme provided page builder elements like blocks and grids (which work in both composers). If there are specific WPBakery items and you would deactivate this plugin, only shortcodes will appear.
2. If the WPBakery plugin would not be active anymore, and the tagDiv composer is active, it can handle theme elements (blocks, grids etc) but not specific WPBakery elements (tabs, accordion, masonry grids etc).
3. Both can be active, but it may cause problems with some elements or WPBakery row layouts and settings. For example single images or image elements may not display properly, to name one. There were other issues before, we solved as many of them as we could.
4. Most of the new features since the tagDiv composer introduction are created specifically for it and will work only with it. The cloud library plugin will work only with our page builder.
Basically you can keep using WPBakery permanently or for as long as you want. There are no plans to stop including it in the theme package, or stop updating it.
Thanks
Hi,
For link on title block please set a url title
https://www.screencast.com/t/QCly296HK9
Unfortunately WP Bakery do not have option for title background color, only if you chose to use custom css.
Thank you for your understanding.
