Hi,
That is quite an an old theme version from which you are updating. Here you can find a changelog for each theme update, to see what has been modified, new features etc
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 (bottom of the page).
Update guide if necessary here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
That error you mention is in most cases related to insufficient memory
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/fix-wordpress-memory-exhausted-error-increase-php-memory/
The theme requirements guide has been updated as well, please check it carefully and if necessary ask your hosting provider to increase the values of the parameters mentioned in it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
For the WP memory we recommend a value of 256M.
After the update, deactivate/delete all the old theme plugins and install the new ones from the theme package plugins folder.
As a side note, the tagDiv composer will be automatically installed and activated after you update the theme. This composer could interfere with specific WPBakery elements or layouts. If that is the case, please disable it.
Also update WPBakery to the latest version if you use it (theme package contains version 5.6)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The option to edit pages with WPBakery should appear same as before

After you update clear all the website caches, CDN, browser cache. Let us know if you have problems.
Thanks
Hi,
Please check the elements from WPBakery Composer
https://www.screencast.com/t/OtWEKHgFD
Also please deactivate all plugins that are non theme, clear all cache and try again.
If the problem persist please provide some screenshot.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello tiranin0707,
I have made some tests on my theme install the TD COmposer and WPBakery page builder seems to works as expected. Remove all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
i have updated to WP 5.5 and ad aboxes dont show in WP Bakery Composer. While they show in page in editor they dissapear.
Any idea why this happens?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I might give you few answers until tagDiv support reply.
You cant use tagDiv Composer and WPBakery Page Builder at the same time. It breaks pages layout. On other hand, tagDiv claims that pages made in WPBakery Page Builder should (but they arent 100% sure so they dont claim full compatibility) should work fine in tagDiv composer and I tested that, they do work for me. At least homepage (havent tested all pages on my web sites)
You cant deactivate WPBakery Page Builder without activating tagDiv composer since its essential to building your page. I mean you can deactivate, but your page will not render and you have to activate eather WPBakery Page Builder or tagDiv composer. I just deactivated WPBakery Page Builder on one of my web pages to grab a screen shoot for you http://prntscr.com/lrr2g5
I dont know how long they will keep supporting WPBakery Page Builder but I presume they will continue to do it for long time since there is a lot of people that dont want to switch. But how long they will continue to update it, I dont know. So far Im not satisfied how often they update it https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/why-you-arent-updatind-wpbakery-page-builder-with-new-version-on-your-theme/# but you should be fine even if you dont update it at all if there is no major bugs found in WPBakery Page Builder
tagDiv composer have much more options than WPBakery Page Builder so switching to it will give you chance to set some stuff that you previously had to use custom CSS, etc. But for me tagDiv Composer is not user friendly at all and is hard to find options, etc and I just dont like to build pages in it. And I have to add that in my test, I havent seen any difference in site speed if I built it in one or other builder but I have pretty fast hosting
I hope this helped you
I do understand you now have tadDiv Composer and WPBakery Page Builder is not primary builder in your themes, but since WPBakery Page Builder is much more user friendly than tagDiv Composer I just dont have time or will to recreate my home pages in that horrible TagDiv Composer (sorry for harsh words, but its not user friendly at all)
But why you dont update WPBakery Page Builder in your themes? I even understand that you dont offer new versions of WPBakery Page Builder on your website, but it outrage not to include new versions of WPBakery Page Builder in your theme updates. Sometimes your theme updates are updated days or weeks after WPBakery Page Builder and you still bundle old versions
Thats not good customer support 🙁
Im not using tadDiv Composed but original WP Bakery
I started to build a ew landing page in TAGDIVcomposer, saving it as I was working… Yesterday, I got a spinning wheel whne I tried to edit the page and the composer wouldn’t open at all. Today, it opens but I am unable to edit anything. I’m getting the following error: Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!
I’ve deleted WPBakery and a bunch of other plugins but am still unable to edit the page I am trying to create.
Hi there,
I probably will make you sigh with this question but i give it a try anyway.
Since the introduction of the TagDiv Composer i’ve been wondering what to do. Previous questions did not give me useful answers. I’m very insecure about what to do.
I will try to specify my questions and i hope someone can help me out…
1. In the online tutorial about switching from WPbakary to TagDiv Composer it says:
“Step 2 – The page has to be recreated using the new page builder. You will have to build a new page and edit it with the tagDiv Composer replicating your original page (made with Visual Composer).”
There is no way that i’m going to rebuild all the pages on my website. If that is really nescessary i have to switch to another template soon.
a. What will happen when i do nothing?
b. How long will you keep updating and supporting WPBakery?
2. What will happen to my site if i de-activate WPBakery or when the plugin stops working (for any reason)? Thus: without replacing it by TagDiv Composer.
3. Can i keep WPBakery working on my existing pages and create new pages with TagDiv composer? In that case i will have to activate both plugins. Will that cause problems?
4. Not really a question, but when you like you are welcome to explain why i should use the new composer? What’s in it for me?
I hope you can answer this questions for me. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I’ve just updated my Newspaper theme to v9.2, as well as WPBakery Page Builder to v5.6, and I noticed that the images for my custom frontpage are not showing up.
I’ve downgraded the theme back to v9.1, and the images on my frontpage has returned. I think there may be some issues with the theme itself, and I hope that it gets fixed.
Thanks!
Hello,
Surely. We will include the latest version of WPBakery and compatibility for WP5.0 in the next theme update.
Thank you!
I’m using Newspaper theme for several years now and I must admit that Newspaper 9 has made may site more efficient acciording to the loading time but in my home page, the script I previously put with the bakery editor doesn’t appear anymore. I’ve also figured out that google poll script is not responsive anymore in a post. Can you show me a solution ? Best regards.
Hello My Tag Composer nor WPBakery working. I have deleted both plugins then reinstalled. I updated my entire site. Nothing is working. It has taken all morning. What Composer now works with the theme? Do I have to pay for Elementor?
Hi there,
could you please update the WPBakery Page Builer installation in the downloads? With the newest update the authors promise to be WP5.0 compatible. I would like to have a few days to test before WP5 goes live.
Thanks,
Jan
Hi,
If you use WPBakery page builder the full grids may not display same as with the tagDiv composer. In this case it seems to be bigger in height. Try to use this code in The theme panel custom CSS section
– http://prntscr.com/lnhx8p
It should make the full big grid look as it should.
.td_block_big_grid_fl_8 .td_module_mx25 {
padding-top: 14%;
}
.td_block_big_grid_fl_8 .td_module_mx19 {
padding-top: 28%;
}
You could also use the flex grids, these can have stretched widths and many other customization options as well
– https://www.screencast.com/t/t6Fz8ddh
But these are only available in the tagDiv composer.
Thanks
Hi,
Visual composer (now WPBakery page builder) was the main page builder provided with the theme. Until our own page builder was introduced in version 8. Our page builder is built from scratch, it is a front end builder
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Many of the features added in the theme after that update are available only if the tagDiv composer is used. Including the cloud library plugin
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here you can see the cloud templates live, preview them and even edit theme with our composer
– https://affiliate.tagdiv.com/#/load/All
Any of these can be imported and used, only with the tagDiv composer.
We recommend the tagDiv composer, it will receive many more features in the future. Also you can benefit from the cloud templates.
WPBakery will still be provided in the theme package and updated when the theme is updated.
Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
So you want to create posts and you need a builder.
TagDiv Composer is a builder for pages and templates from tagDiv Cloud Library.
tagDiv Composer tutorial -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
If this options are not enough https://www.screencast.com/t/Wr3Zokr0Jkv , then you can use the wpBakery and create the posts, but be notice that if you want to use AMP is possible that your posts to do not work.
Also please do not use both composers on the same page.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hi there,
I got the theme yesterday and have been struggling ever since. The composer plugin that came with the them was wpBakery yet, I was told not to use it at all (I’m aware of not using them at the same time already). I don’t have a tagDiv composer that works with posts. TagDiv is only showing up on posts, not pages. How do I activate it for use on posts? What’s the need for wpBakery if it is incompatible?
Hi,
I would like to know about certain controls that exist in the bakery composer that cannot be found in the TD Composer.
One such element could be accordion for example…
Is there a way to port some necessary components to the TD Composer on our side? There are many of the “default” components of bakery composer that I haven’t found on TD Composer. Unfortunately, that forces me to use bakery composer due to this reason.
Is there a way around this? Can we import such components into td composer somehow?
I recently had a problem with a plugin. After deactivating and deleting the plugin, I realized that I was now having issues with the page builder (not the tagDiv composer) and the bottom section of the page including the Newsmag sidebar was no longer showing. It shows up on posts but not on the page.
I have tried disable all plugins, reinstall the theme and WPBakery, created a new sidebar in the theme panel and switched to that but all these did not fix the issue.
Hi,
There are two page builders provided with the theme. One is the WPBakery page builder (only backend usage with our theme), the other is the tagDiv composer (frontend builder created by us specifically for this theme).
We recommend that the tagDiv composer is used to build the website. All the theme demos are built with it as well
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/select_demo/select_demo_newspaper
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
Most of the latest updates have added new features that will be possible to use only with the tagDiv composer.
The cloud library plugin will also work only with the tagDiv composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Here is a guide for using it – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Our composer should be installed and activated automatically when the theme is installed. It can be used to edit pages from multiple places, for example in the admin bar (while viewing a page)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/NjfPGNh81
Be sure to only edit pages that have been created with it, not pages that contain content from a different page builder for example.
If the option to edit with the tagDiv composer is missing, please check if it is active
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1R6rU7E4
Most problems that can happen are related to insufficient or limited resources, it is important that this requirements guide is taken into account
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
In case there is a problem let us know.
Thanks
I’m using WPBakery on my homepage. If you scroll down below you can see three Facebook video’s next to each other. I have used ”Text With Title” for this, but the problem is that the title messes up the horizontal lines.
The very first video from the left is now down below while I can not find a way to also make the other 2 videos go equally down below. Also letting the very first video from the left go up so that also line up beautiful is not possible.
Any help?
Hi,
Using the tagDiv composer for the post content is not possible. You can design post templates around the post content only. From what I know there aren’t any plans currently to make changes in this matter. Sorry for any inconvenience.
As a first note, it is important to decide which page builder is more suited for the website and use only that one. Having both active at the same time may result in various problems.
We don’t recommend WPBakery on posts, only for pages
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
It can be activated for posts in it’s settings and you can use it however, if required.
So at the moment if you want to create posts similar to pages, you can only do that with WPBakery activated for posts. And the tagDiv composer should be deactivated.
Please let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Hi,
I believe that happens when both the tagDiv composer and the WPBakery page builder are active at the same time.
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.
If you plan to use WPBakery for the website, deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin and the problem will be fixed.
Thanks
