- NewspaperHow to update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
- NewspapertagDiv Composer Tutorial
- NewspaperWhat’s Included in the Newspaper Theme Package
Again, I created a brand new subdomain.
I install WordPress.
I set the settings so that the System Status is green in all areas.
No Plugs in were installed.
I installed the Newspaper Theme via the Zip file. I did not have to upload the decompressed directory structure.
Via this installation, all the supporting Tag plugin installed.
I only had to install the Bakery Visual Composer.
I then installed the Spa Heaven Demo and all supporting Images.
I made sure that under settings that it was set to Static Page and set the Page to Home.
I went to Pages and brought up the Home Spa Heaven Page.
No matter what I did, the text in all the Text boxes wold not convert to a visual display. I selected Various Template types, and still to Visual. I clicked on Classic Mode.
I click on TAG COMPOSER and received the above previously posted error message.
I then started from scratch again and tried creating a Homepage from the Cloud Templates. Exactly the same results.
Nothing displays on the subdomain web site except a single bar across the top.
Hi,
I still can’t update the wp bakery plugin in newspaper 8 and the exchange element is not working. I received render failed.
You can see the error in my sidebar home page:
http://iranneda.org/
Please advice to fix the issue.
Thanks
I uploaded the plugin via FTP and was able to activate it this time. But when I create a page and click on TagDiv Composer to use to edit the page, I get a gray screen, same as the people in the link you sent. I don’t know how to update htaccess file so I’ll pass on this. Can I continue to use WPBakery Page Builder with Newspaper or will I at some point be forced to use TD Composer? I have waited to update to Newspaper 9 because I thought I had to use TD Composer…
Hi,
We recommend the tagDiv composer, this way you can take advantage of the multipurpose elements, the cloud library plugin and others more
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Use it to create pages, post templates, category templates, author templates etc.
WPBakery can still be used with the theme and it will be provided and updated, just that the new features will not be possible with it. When both composers are active there could also be issues in some cases.
Hi,
Let’s try to solve the problems you are having.
Should be exactly the same basically, demo vs installed version. The images might be different only. I tried installing it myself, found no problem.
In your case there seems to be some design missing. The projects page also should look exactly like in the demo.
Did you by any chance edit the demo homepage or edited the projects page with WPBakery page builder? These pages are built with the tagDiv composer and only this should be used to edit them.
Thanks
Reviewer is not part of the theme plugin. Where on the envao page did you see a ‘reviewer’ plugin? The only plugins that come with the theme are found under the plugins folder in the main theme package: https://www.screencast.com/t/v0iktgfjW1
Wpbakery page builder and revolution slider are the only non tagdiv plugin provided
Thank you!
Good morning,
I find the following problems:
– If I try to optimize the various custom ADs, they will no longer be visible in the theme
– Being simple images, not google adv, then I try to insert them as images, but I get cut and grainy.
I have already disabled WP Bakery page builder
Rest to yours,
Greetings
The theme can be used with WPBakery, no problem about that. We will still provide this page builder in the theme package. Updates for it will be included along theme updates (when available).
Currently the latest version of WPBakery is included in the theme package, version 5.5.2.
For users who purchase the plugin we recommend that they don’t update the plugin until we get a chance to test the new version with the theme, then we will include it in the package

I want to create new posts and in the new post I would like to include buttons etc, which I use to do with wp bakery with diferent theme.
So with newspaper I can use td composer or wp bakery to edit a post in front end and add such as “download” etc
Do you want to make or edit a post with td composer? Or are you only talking about changing the look (design) of the post? If you mean the latter, you can check out the new tagdiv cloud library plugin https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/ which can be used together with tagdiv composer. Make sure you have disabled wp bakery.
so, just to clarify, I can use WP bakery to edit the front end of the post but i should disable tagdiv before that ?
will there be any layout changes if i disable tagdiv ? and can i enable tagdiv after editing is done with wp bakery ?
You cannot make or edit posts with tagdiv composer. It only works with pages. You can use wp bakery visual composer and disable tagdiv if you want to create posts using a page builder.
Not true. TD composer claims “required”, but you can wipe it completely and use WP Bakery Builder. Use one or the other. Especially if you built your site with VC. My point is how bad it is for long time users who upgrade to 9.01. Really, not a quality experience, and I have come to like TagDiv quality otherwise.
For WP Bakery updates, you need to buy a separate license from WP Bakery… buy the license and then you can update.
WP Bakery and tagdiv composer will both eventually be replaced by the default Gutenberg being added to WordPress installations now. There will always be room for tagdiv and Visual Composer to work inside WordPress, but I’m sure more developers and theme designers will opt with working with Gutenberg.
So it was a good strategic move for tagdiv to build their own WYSIWYG editor, but now they need to pivot to another method to engage future customers. I suggest they build upon Gutenberg and make a kickass complement to Gutenberg. That way they can grab even more customers who may not need the Newsmag or Newspaper theme, but instead want better Gutenberg-related addons.
Just my two-cents 🙂
Td composer is the default required page builder. Wp bakery is optional.
Hi Simon, my sites have around 3000 to 6000 pages. Am I going to have issues in the future if I continue using WPBakery Page Builder and not the tagDiv Composer?
Also, I can now update the theme automatically but have no idea when there is an update just for the WPBakery Page Builder plugin. How can we get notified on when there is an update for the WPBakery Page Builder plugin?
Those images seem to be part of an image box, not a text element
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/image-box/
Image boxes have settings in the composer sidebar, accesed when you click anywhere on it
– https://www.screencast.com/t/W8Oj28H6f
How exactly was that page built initially? Can you try to create a new page and place an image box there, see if it works.
In order to avoid any problems, all the content of a page has to be added in the tagDiv composer only. Editing pages built with WPBakery for example, or with content added with the WordPress editor, could create problems.
Hi,
I believe you mean Visual composer (now WPBakery page builder). The front-end capability of this composer is disabled in our theme, this has always been the case. There could be problems using the WPBakery front-end builder with the theme, or to create posts
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Having both WPBakery and the tagDiv composer active could create problems in some cases.
However 500 errors can be caused by insufficient resources, mainly WP-memory. For most users a value of 256M would be enough
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Try to increase this if it’s necessary and possible. Contact the hosting provider to modify it for you if needed.
I have several plugins that came with the theme that want me to register them. Reviewer WPBakery Page Builder, etc… I have tried activating with the purchase code from envato, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Any ideas?
Hi,
So the full big grid refuses to be full despite trying what I suggested. Note that the tagDiv composer should be used to edit the page. All the demos are built with the tagDiv composer and should not be edited with WPBakery.
If that is what you did and it did not work please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login so we can take a look.
Also include a a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Hi,
Never heard of that plugin until now. I had to look it up, it is provided by WPBakery and can be used with their page builder.
There are no current plans to add something like this in the tagDiv composer, that I know of. Could be considered if the request becomes popular.
Thanks
You did not answer my question. In the past I could not have both WPbakery Visual Composer and tagDiv Composer active at the same time because it caused issues. Is this still true? My websites have thousands of pages and many of those pages are built with WPbakery Visual Composer so changing to tagDiv will take a lot of time.
Also, how do I know when you have allowed us to update our WPbakery Visual Composer plugin as the theme updates itself and I am given no notice about updating just the WPbakery Visual Composer plugin.
Hello ray,
That warning does not come from our theme, sorry! Here is talking about WP Bakery product.
Thanks.
Hello,
Sorry but we have not tested any add-ons for WPbakery so we cannot say for sure if they will work or not. They will not work it tagdiv composer that is for sure
If you want to move to our tagdiv composer page builder you should use this guide:

Thank you!
