Hi,
This did not happen on our end so that is why we did not include this as a must. Until now we have no reports of the new blocks having to be activated from the plugin settings. In the latest version of the visual composer plugin (4.11.2) you can select all elements to be active: http://screencast.com/t/TL8j5r0iXbU
This is the default setting unless you switch to ‘custom’.
Thank you!
Hi,
Just updated to the latest version and realized that Block titles which are empty are still showing up as “Block title” in the frontend. Anyone else with the issue?
Hi, Andrei L.
i already placed ad using theme panel and enabled. i haven’t made changes, after theme update.
temporary i placed ads below post title using plugin.
Please help up, For this ad blocking rules cant affect for my some post same like other ads.
Hello efaq,
1)Unfortunately, your request involves custom work and we cannot provide this at the moment, sorry! Please notice that we only guide you to the right direction but we cannot make your website, sorry! Above, I explained to you how can be done this menu, I have provided you some hints in this regard, but please notice that if you are not understanding as I said, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you!
2)As you can see the message of your thumbs, please try to activate these from Theme panel->Block settings, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/DvnWFoaROUVW
3)Please notice that the Recent Post is a default Widget and it use the Block 9 to render your posts. As you can see in our documentation, the Block 9 do not display the featured image, but only the title of this. If you want to have another block type, please try to use footer template style 5, for example, and add there what kind of block you wish in Footer 1,2,3 -> http://screencast.com/t/AHJj0IvMXe because this footer template allows you to customize as you wish. For more references, check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/
In future, for other problems, please create a new topic !!!
Thanks.
Found it. Got the same problem.
Go to Visual Compose tab on the left menu of WordPress Back end.
Then go Role Manager for administrator tab and scroll down.
There you will find a list with all elements of visual editor. just check the extra blocks and grids and weather and exchange etc that came with the new update. After that, new grids etc will show in the visual editor when you edit a page
Running WP Version 4.5.2 with Newspaper 7.0.
Can’t find the new Block-templates (22 – 25) nor Big Grid-templates (10 – 12).
Tried normal update and complete re-instal. Both to no avail.
Am I missing something?
Sincerely,
– Frank.
Hi,
Just installed the new version via Envato toolkit and the new Big Grids (9 to 12) and new blocks etc are not showing in Visual Editor. It shows until Big Grid 8 like previews version. I also uninstall and install again visual editor from the latest version and still new Grids etc not showing.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance
Yes I understand – please don’t get me wrong I’m a massive fan of the theme – but things are moving on – I’m just thinking of the future development of Newspaper – mobile is the way forward – AMP/FB Instant etc – so a mobile site must be as close as possible to instant, clearly it can’t be instant but it does need 2 seconds max in load time. Newspaper 7 mobile therefore is a great thing.
However for a news outlet with a large following/visitors, it’s pointless investing in lots of blocks and widgets on a sophisticated home page, so though I still use the theme I’ve stripped it back to basically a roll of articles with one grid and one block. Others will do the same, and all of then sell their own ads on these sites and so need the flexibility.
Recently AdRotate’s author planned to remove mobile ads (except Google type) from his plugin settings, there were so many people begging him not to for this reason that he left it the same so sold ads could appear. If a site owner has developed an inventory of ad positions and prices over two years, he/she then can’t just change these positions when people may have paid for a year or so. It would be the right thing to develop this so a site owner can switch the same options on for the mobile theme if he/she needs them, it can’t be that difficult to do and will keep customers with Newspaper 7+
Thanks
Hi,
We have tested block 14 and could not find the error.

Please provide a link to your block 14 so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hi
We get often this question regarding the differences between our themes. I can tell you that the both themes share the same core so their functionality and performances are similar. The main differences are in designs/appearances and the content area width which slightly differs from one theme to another. Newspaper’s grid width is 1068px while Newsmag’s width is 1021px and the newsmag’s theme grid has been designed to support the borders you notice between sections of a page: http://screencast.com/t/pNkgzN1Kn8Y5
Other differences are also appear regarding features, some of the blocks are present on one and missing on the other, for example you could check the Features menu items from each theme live demo and see blocks, modules, post templates… are present in each theme and the design differences – http://screencast.com/t/p87JJpieJd
Speaking from a development point of view Newspaper theme is more complex then Newsmag. Among the differences I can enumerate these ones:
– Newspaper have more blocks, grids and another widgets which arenot included in Newsmag yet.
– Newspaper have more smart-lists available. There are 8 types of smart-lists while Newsmag have 4.
– more posts templates are available for Newspaper, 14 and for Newsmag are only 9 at the moment.
– ad system offers more options fro Newspaper then for Newsmag
We are constantly working on multiple updates for both themes. Adding further features is always a goal of ours. At the moment we work on a major update for Newsmag theme, new features will be added which will make the theme more complex and also its flexibility will be improved.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi
Unfortunately this error could come from a big number of problems. I believe it happens due to a server configuration which is not responding, it could be due to a delay or it could also be a temporary issue so you can try this a few times and if you still get this error please contact your host provider and let him know about this, ask them to unblock our demo in order to retrieve the theme data. It could also happen due to your wp install or other plugins might also cause this. Also make sure that your permission for the upload folder are set correct. You can check this by trying to upload an image in media library. If the process succeeds then the permission are ok. If not you can use the c-panel to change permissions (set them to 777) or if you do not have access to the cpanel, please contact your hosting provider.
Also make sure you meet the requirements for newsmag: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/ and the parameters from system status have the values indicated in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi
At the moment unique article feature display unique posts only at page first load. For example if you have on page three blocks whit pagination when the page is loaded all post are unique but if you click next/prev buttons for one block duplicate posts will appear.
We still looking for a way to extend unique article feature at ajax pagination and maybe in future we will find a solution.
Thanks!
Hello all,
@ankush, please notice that the mobile theme does not render the Visual Composer shortcode for your blocks from your pages but only the text with the Big Grid and Related articles will be displayed for your frontend in mobile theme. This is not an issue, this is just the mobile theme behaviour. For more information about this case, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
P.S. If you need the further assistance in this regard, please create another topic and tell there the problem for avoiding the confusions from this topic!
@Bintmusic, unfortunately, this is not the right behaviour for your mobile theme. Please notice that this plugin will display you by default a Big Grid and related articles because this is the template structure implemented. Please check your plugins list and try to disable all of them which are not tested with our theme because it could create a lot of unknown issues in this regard and leave just our untested plugins. Clear all your caches and check the results. Also, please notice that the Big Grid display all the posts which are in Featured Category. Please check this category and add there some posts which you want to be displayed on your theme mobile. ->> http://screencast.com/t/CPmP3tlkuCo
For your second problem, if you are referring to the Related Posts for Post page and also Related articles, indeed is a mini-bug and we will solve it as soon as possible in next future update.
P.S If you need the further assistance in this regard, please create another topic.
@Ardhi, unfortunately, this is the actual functionality of our mobile theme. Maybe in the future updates, we will develop this plugin and we try to implement new improvements but we cannot say for sure when it will be. Thank you for your suggestions. If you have a lot of pages and if you want to display all your content from these pages for mobile mode, you can to disable the mobile theme plugin. It is just your choice.
Thanks.
Hi there,
I’ve some problems with blocks in visual composer.
Please take a look at http://www.bangkokbits.com. it seems that I can’t click on any subcategories (Discover, Food, Stay, Transporation and tips). Plus, I also can’t click ‘next page’ button.
Can you please advise how to solve this?
Thank you very much.
Newspaper version; 7
Visual composer version; 4.11.2
Hi, i set up a page with block 23 but when viewed in mobile the thumbnail image is not full width like the demo.
http://splashysplash.com/
when the template is used on categories it works on category pages but when i create a custom page using visual composer and blocks thumbnail is not full width. how can i fix this? thanks
OKay – fixed the issue.
The theme was blocking the visual editor – a setting in the ‘users’ tab. This was unticked for users but still was blocked.
We created a new user and then the tabs started showing. So we will reset all of our users now.
1) I do not get, what you are explaining. Sorry. Is it possible, to make a short video where you can show how to do this? And is this custom .td-menu-blocks-custom predefined?
2) Yes I know what you mean, that thumbs are not shown because of deactivating. But instead of the picture another thumb is shown to me : http://www.travelisfun.de/ –> watch the first row with those three pictures. So instead of the post picture the thumb picture is shown to me. Where is the advantage of this? I mean, for google a picture is still load, isn’t it? Hope you understand, what I mean.
3) Why are the pictures are not shown in the footer area “recent posts” ? http://www.travelisfun.de/
Thanks a lot 🙂
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how we can recover to the regular page builder in visual Composer.
Everything was working fine. And one day it all stopped. Here is the url to the screen shot.
This is the screen we see and makes moving the blocks around very dificult.
https://www.siempreactivo.tv/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/VComposer.jpg
Thanks for your help!
Hello,
I have following problem with the block multiple filter displaying the correct posts by category – here an example:
1. I have the category 1 “Brussel” and the category 10 “Monument” and other categories 2, 3, 4 for the cities “Antwerpen, Gent, Knokke”.
2. I want to display on the page “Brussel” the “Monuments of Brussel” (that means category 1 and category 10)
3. But by selecting these two categories in the block multiple filter all (!) posts with category 1 “Brussel” and all “Monuments” with tagged with category 10 are displayed – so also the monuments of Antwerpen, Gent, Knokke too.
4. Do I have to exclude all other cities with “-category ID” – but this would be laborious or long-winded!
5. Or do I have to build up categories like “Brussel-Monuments”, “Gent-Monuments”, “Knokke-Monuments” and select this in the block setting filter by category like a single filter – but then the “multi categories filter” would be superfluous!
6. The right way from my point of logic has to be: By selecting in the multiple category filter “category 1, category 10” only (!) monuments of Brussel will be displayed and not all (!) monuments (of other cities) and Brussel will be shown.
Do I’m understanding something wrong in building categories or using the multiple categories filter?
Thanks from Germany
Michael
For the missing checkbox for the category “Articles”, I found that the reason for this was because “Articles” was set as a default category and default categories can’t be deleted.
Regarding the custom post type “Magazines” posts not showing together with regular posts, it was a visual composer setting where I had to click “edit” on the Visual Composer block where the posts would show, clicking the “filter” tab and specifying the custom post type in the field “Post Type”.
I found a way by just eliminated the top posts from each category and adding the shortcode to the proper template in my child theme:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_3 category_id="' . $thisid . '"][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>
Hi, can anyone help me out… the theme is fantastic but there are some minor errors with Block 14. I cannot see the titles as they are appearing above the thumbnail rather than on top of. I am pretty good with CSS but I cannot seem to locate where the problem lies. Help please.
Is it possible to alter the way the Top Posts on category pages function? Currently, the block shows top posts from all categories. Can this be changed to show only posts in the current category with a certain tag (like the page builder blocks)?
Thanks!
