Hi,
1. Some Visual composer elements will not display properly when the tagDiv composer plugin is also active. Theme provided elements such as blocks and grids will not be affected when both page builders are active but other elements can be.
This composer will automatically be activated when the theme is installed or updated (since version 8.0). Deactivate it and your Visual composer elements will look the same as before.
2. If you should decide to use the tagDiv composer and multi-purpose plugin, then all your pages will have to be recreated with it. There are buttons in the tagDiv composer, these can be used in pages
– https://www.screencast.com/t/PtFNHutlFA4
A button could be used in a post sidebar as an widget, try it like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8Iiie4hG
– https://www.screencast.com/t/eRp54rEK
– https://www.screencast.com/t/YRSMwYQjU
We plan to add a considerable amount of new options in coming updates, for the tagDiv composer.
Thanks
Hi,
Demos can be installed without content as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/
This will only import theme panel settings and demo design, a demo homepage will not be included in this case. You can build a homepage with the tagDiv composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
But note that the demo custom design will only apply in the homepage if the same elements are used. Same grids, blocks etc as the demo. Changing themes would require testing, to ensure everything is set properly and works fully.
It is recommended to place the website in maintenance mode when doing this, or creating local clones of the live website and begin there by applying the new theme and testing.
The theme requirement would be these

Hi,
There are various elements in the theme that use admin-ajax. If this is blocked by a security implementation or firewall there will be problems with the theme and plugins. When ajax is called and used the request goes through the admin-ajax.php file in the wp-admin folder. It should be accessible to the theme and there will be no problems.

Question 1 –
I noticed all my old buttons that I had created with Visual Composer are now way over sized. I originally had them set at “Full Width” but now they take over both the Main content area as well as the Sidebar area.
Is there a quick fix for this? I just don’t want to manually update all 50+ pages that have one.
Question 2 –
Is there a way to create a button with TagDiv composer (3d Cube) that I can use in the sidebar widget area. I’m trying to create a “Join Our Telegram Channel” button. I can get it to work while creating it using TagDiv builder on a page, but I don’t know how to transfer it to a widget. I’ve copied the code and it pasted into a Text with Title block. But it seems that the one I create is much to large for the area and I can’t seem to get it to fit correctly.
Thanks
I added a new header background image…. but now it loads slowly over the grey base color. How can I speed it up?
http://blockchaintrailblazers.com/
Thx.
You’re a star. That worked. Thank you.
I have another question. I do not know if I need to open a new discussion or if it is okay to continue here. I don’t want to be difficult so let me know.
I am trying to do what is in the blue section of this demo https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_city_news/. Have the blue background going full across and having blocks in the middle. Is this a row within a row? How do I do this?
Last, are there instructions on how to setup/integrate MailChimp?
Hey Catalin,
The website is http://stemcellpowernow.com.
Here’s an example search results page by searching for “contact”, and it shows all of the above scenarios: http://stemcellpowernow.com/?s=contact
The Contact Us and home page results uses raw HTML blocks and shows code in the preview tests.
The Footer page uses title blocks and shows nothing in the preview text.
The articles about Lyme disease and Hair generation are posts and show proper content in the preview texts.
Hey Catalin,
How would I go about using those blocks to make my homepage resemble the homepage layout of the demo?
Under the newsmag theme panel, I do not see an option to edit the homepage with those blocks. When I am on the homepage of my website, I have also tried clicking on “edit with td composer”, however, the page is black when it loads, and I am unable to drag on drop any of the elements to edit the page. Screenshots have been attached.
This is my homepage

My result after I click TD composer
http://financeandmarkets.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/example-2.jpg
What I believe the result should have been

How can I speed up my site?

Thx
No CDN and I cleared cache with wpengine. I contacted them and here is the conversation we had. It looks like the code base is different but my stage environment is a copy of production.
WPENGINE:
I apologize for the confusion. Looking at vrfitness, it looks like it’s using td-social-counter. Since clearing the cache did not resolve the issue I ran a check to compare the differences between staging and live. It does look like there are multiple differences . One is related to the td social widget, it appears tha there is code in the widget that is blocking it. It says the following: > // register our widget
> add_action(‘widgets_init’, ‘td_load_widget’);
> function td_load_widget() {
> $td_block_widget = new td_block_widget( ‘td_block_social_counter’ );
> register_widget( $td_block_widget );
11d12
< add_action(‘widgets_init’, create_function(”, ‘return register_widget(“td_block_social_counter_widget”);’));
I would recommend reaching out to the plug-in developer with this information as it appears something within the plugin is actually blocking it. From reading the error, it appears that it’s related to registration of the widget.

That is weird… It’s part of the theme. Why would it work in stag but not prod?

Because the file is different. In live the file /nas/content/staging/vrfitness/wp-content/plugins/td-social-counter/widget/td_block_social_counter_widget.php
states ” < //register our widget
< class td_block_social_counter_widget extends td_block_widget {
< var $td_block_id = ‘td_block_social_counter’; // change only the block id, the rest is autogenerated”
In staging it says: > // register our widget
> add_action(‘widgets_init’, ‘td_load_widget’);
> function td_load_widget() {
> $td_block_widget = new td_block_widget( ‘td_block_social_counter’ );
> register_widget( $td_block_widget );
11d12
< add_action(‘widgets_init’, create_function(”, ‘return register_widget(“td_block_social_counter_widget”);’));

SO there are additional lines in staging that are allowing the widget to load. As these are code snippets, I wouldn’t be able to alter them. Likely you will need to reach out to a developer, or the theme developer to update the code within this file so that the site will load. As I’m not a developer I can’t say for sure what this code is meant for but due to the contents I believe this is what’s causing it to fail to work on live.
Failed to execute 'atob' on 'Window': The string to be decoded is not correctly encoded.
I receive the above message when saving page.
Recently upgraded to latest version 8.7.4
Now when editing in TD Composer…custom classes are with quotes and title of module/block is with quotes…
something is off.
Hello davidS83,
1)All the frontend settings from the Blocks should works as expected, without any problem. Remove all of the untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all the caches and check the results.
2)Our playlist on sidebar looks like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/6mu4hI4J2O0U
If you need more assistance in this case, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further investigate it closer your setup page. Provide there the link to this conversation so we can quickly identify you.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
That will not be possible by a theme setting. Each grid is predefined in terms of layout, so it will always look the same. Adding or removing modules in it would not be an option. Use another grid or block below it maybe, with similar sorting and an offset
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/offset-feature/
Thanks
Even more specifically: if it’s a page with a raw HTML element at the top, it just shows code in the view results just like the screenshot. If it’s a page with a text block at the top instead, then it shows nothing under the post image. There is no text for those at all.
How can I fix this?
Hi,
Thank you for your appreciation of the theme, there are many new features to come in future updates.
That is right, big grids do not have a title such as block. In this case you can use a title element on top of the grid
– https://www.screencast.com/t/l8NQhGj5RkI
To reduce the space between the title and grid you can use the CSS tab of the row containing the grid
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SBnsYbxBm0Sl
By setting a negative margin top for the row with the grid, it will be pulled up. This would be one way of doing it.
Thanks
Hello caseystubbs,
I have inspected your website but I did not saw any problems with it. The logo is there and working well. I saw that you are using other blocks to your homepage than our demo preview and that’s why the layout is different. Please provide some use useful screenshots with the problem so I can identify them.
Thanks.
Blocks and grids use thumbnails that are created from your featured images
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
The modules that make up blocks and grids have predefined thumbnail sizes, these cannot be changed by a theme setting, only enabled/disabled. If your thumbnails are not displaying properly, please regenerate them
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Now I know what you mean. Instagram works but the username is not displayed on top of the images. I see that you installed the fitness blog demo. As it can be seen in the demo homepage, the Instagram name is not displayed
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_blog_fitness/
It was decided instead to display a custom title “Instagram” and the demo design will remove the username.
So in order to display the name either remove the code that hides it from here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tWGVw6FN
Or enter this code in Theme panel->Custom CSS
.td-blog-fitness .td_block_instagram .td-instagram-header {
display: block!important;
}
Hi customer support
I’ve got 2 problems please on my home page : https://univrcity.fr/
1) in TD-Composer
I want no Meta Info with Module 14 Fonts in the Block n°13
I just want the Title and nothing else
so I set “0” on the Article Meta Info of the Module 14 Fonts in the Style Settings
but the name of the author and the date are still visible
I don’t understand why ?

Please, tell me there is a solution ?

hello,
My web site does a strange movement when I activate the background. When I scroll, the block that is below the menu, moves and then go to the correct position. Any idea? (I disable all plugins, and clear cache)
thanks

Hi Guys, we’ve had a few issues where posts are being omitted on pages even when they don’t appear twice on pages with ‘Unique Articles’ enabled. For example on out homepage we have a big grid at the top which includes all ‘news’ categories and then a block further down the page which is a completely different category altogether but is still having articles omitted for no apparent reasons? Is there anyway to ‘exclude’ a block from the unique articles process?
Thanks
Matt
Hello Sirius Pro,
Yes, it seems to be a mini-bug in the theme regarding on Block 17. You should replace the td_block_17.php with the following file if you want to display more posts to block 17 with a better look, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/ZXO2gRxvpo
The core of this file is here -> https://pastebin.com/B4M73rh1
Thanks for your understanding!
