Hey Lucian,
I’ve check with a few friends and they all say that my site looks alright now. This is what we all see:
http://www.screencast.com/t/11inp7dbS
Can you clear your cookies and cache of your browser and check to see if that is what you see?
I replaced my style.css code with the original, not minified – when I minify my style.CSS code, the mobile site completely messes up – do you know why? It appears as the above. It is recommended to minify in Chris’ pagespeed post (he outlines how to do it) – but it makes the mobile theme un-useable.
Hi,
There is no mobile version, the code is the same for each viewport. I’ve tested this on mobiles also and its working fine there also. Please make sure that you empty all caches then try again.
Thanks
Hi
Same result with all plugins off and refresh of cache.
Thanks
Hi,
When we updated Newspaper theme the latest version of Visual Composer was 4.4.4. We always test the new version of the plugin with our theme and then we include it in theme files when a new version of the theme is released.
Do you mean that when you switch to Classic mode, you cannot add text there? – http://screencast.com/t/1bHbegjlVbix
When the Backend editor is active you can add blocks using Visual Composer and you can add text using text block – http://screencast.com/t/okb9RUW8VV
Please provide more details about your issue if this doesn’t solve it.
Edit:
Sorry I didn’t see your reply!
Please also try this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, empty cache and check if you still have this issue. Let me know!
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes, I flushed the cache – that seemed to work on my desktop.
But there is also a search button when I check the site on my mobile:
http://www.nieuwetijdskind.com/mobiel.jpg
I cleared the history and cookies on my iphone, but the issue still persists…
Any idea?
Sincerely, Niels
Hi,
I’m not sure what you mean. Do you refer to the logo image or that the logo and ad are displayed bellow the menu?
The logo is displayed fine on my side – http://screencast.com/t/ba3RFqfA please provide more details about this.
Did you made any custom modifications to the code?
Also if you want to display logo and ad above main menu, please edit header.php and by default the order must be like this – http://screencast.com/t/jzAiu6N41jr
If you use child theme please check there and after this clear cache if you use a cache plugin.
Thanks!
… clearing the cache was the first thing i did. a real solution please
Clear cache!
You can roll back without losing most settings except some widget go wonky, and home page might need to be re-saved, or checked for module/shortcodes not found in an earlier iteration — I think some codes changed between 1.5 and 1.6 if memory serves. Likely might need to refresh/tweak home page (not big deal really), and might need to drag some widgets back from “disabled” to the right places.
I did a backtrack from 1.7 to 1.6 when 1.7 first released, as our server went up to something like 150 or about 100x normal load (!). Simple. Luckily WordPress “transient” settings and dbase allow you to switch between themes and most settings recover — again except sometimes the widgets, and the menus – might need to go back to the “choose locations” and that takes 2 clicks.
I am going to try Radu’s “test shim” with one of our lesser sites running 1.6 — one of the sites I was baby-stepping before tackling the BIG one. Basically the site which dies with 1.7 has about 50x the traffic of the smaller sites, and because it’s been online for a decade it has a LOT of content, images, etc.
One nice thing about the “related posts” plugin I’m using, is that it only checks the past 365 days, not the past 3,500 days — and caches the result — so a tad more efficient on that bit of query.
More later …. can you say “shenanigans” (my word for 2015 …)
Hi,
@frasercarly89
That behavior is on all your site’s pages, homepage also and they all appear unstyled. Checking your site I’ve noticed that you’ve minified/compressed your css/html so please make sure that you also tested this without using any plugins and turn off any css/html/js compression you have enabled then test again.
If noting changes then please make sure you re-upload the latest version theme files via FTP following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
@Stefan
I can’t see this on your site so please provide more details which can help me recreate this and also make sure you also test without plugins, empty caches turn off minification option and test again.
Thanks
Hi,
I have checked your site again and it the css is applying there and it looks fine from my side: http://screencast.com/t/JvEOEaMI455
Please clear cache if you use a plugin cache.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Just the one form the wp-content > plugins folder and please always make sure you backup your WordPress and theme install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
2. Yes, best would be to disable all plugins, then delete the Visual Composer plugin and install within theme files > /plugins folder. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
3. If you don’t use any cache plugins then go ahead without concerning this aspect.
4. 1. Edit your wp-config.php file and enter something like:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
WordPress memory can be different to the server – you need to set this regardless of server memory settings
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
2. If you have access to your PHP.ini file, change the line in PHP.ini
If your line shows 32M try 64M:
memory_limit = 64M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume (64MB)
3. If you don’t have access to PHP.ini try adding this to an .htaccess file:
php_value memory_limit 64M
4. If none of the above works then talk to your host.
Thanks
Hi,
I have checked your site and you have a js error in console – http://screencast.com/t/3yopneKMhVe and also block ajax pagination doesn’t work.
Please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, also clear cache and check if you still have this issue. If don’t have the issue anymore, activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this. Also you can check this without any css/js minification.
Thanks!
Hi,
I also tested this with the latest theme version(4.6.3) and did not found any issues like you can also see on our demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
I’m not sure why you have this issue please try to deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check if you still have this issue.
You can also try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/nmYXc6Cr
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-big-grid-post-0 .td-sbig-title-wrap .td-sbig-title {
font-size: 17px !important;
line-height: 12px;
}
}
Thanks!
Well, I still can’t update theme setting even if I delete cache and temp files.
There’s any other way I could do that. I need to remove the featured slider of a specific category.
Hi,
@Niels please clear cache if you use a cache plugin and see if you still have this issue with search.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. Also please disable any css/js minification.
If you still have this issue with sidebar please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and paste a link to this conversation so we can know who you are.
Thanks!

Same problem here.
Firefox & Chrome not saving theme panel options, although after clicking “Save” a check mark appears but nothing is updated on the site. If I reload the theme panel – new settings were not applied.
Clearing browser cache does not help. Any suggestions?
Hello, I wanted to disable the ads on Mobile (header), but no matter what I do they still show up. I deactivated all plugins, cleared cache etc and still nothing. Here is the beta test site:
http://www.sneakerfiles.com/oncourt/
Thanks in advance.
Well, VC does work
— obviously if you delete the old folder, you need to upload a new fresh copy — assuming you did that ?
Start up without ANY other plugins running; turn off all caching.
Make sure your server is setup for php to have at least 256MB RAM allocated to it.
Clear the cache in your web browser.
Typically best to update WP, before updating theme, in future… just a thought. Seems to work better than way.
If above doesn’t work, perhaps try:
First clear/disable any server caching, turn off mod_pagespeed if using it.
a) switch to default theme
b) deactivate visual composer
c) deactivate all plugins
d) switch on visual composer
d) under appearance > preview theme for newsmag — if it won’t ‘preview’ at all; then you need to do CLEAN install of the theme, td plugins, and visual composer
e) once you can ‘preview’ the theme, then you can activate it and it will work.
f) then turn on plugins and if it dies, disable the bad plugin
Went through this issue last week, actually.
Hi,
It’s happening again. I put an adsense ad in the top right sidebar widget and now there’s an awkward ad between the Main Preview area and ‘Latest Articles’
I did as you suggested and disabled all the plugins other than Visual Composer and the problem remained, even after I cleared my cache.
I took the ad that caused the problem out, but the issue remained.
So the problem is any time I put a new widget in the top right sidebar, it puts a related widget in that space.
Thoughts? I really need to fix this problem.
Thanks
Steve
I have this issue with some browsers, and kind of inconsistent.
With IE11 it seems to come and go; with Chrome seems to work all the time (this is on Windows7).
There doesn’t seem to be a fix for the issue with ajax/visual composer in the admin panel, and or the admin panel/ajax working 100% of the time across all browsers.
With IE11, I can sometimes do the trick in the theme panel of ignoring the floating ‘save’ button, and instead scroll ALL THE WAY TO BOTTOM and then click the bottom “save” button, and then I more often get the checkbox success as saved.
This is not just theme related, btw. With the last couple of WP updates (4.2x), I’ve also been having issues SAVING WIDGETS with IE11, which has only happened before with a couple of versions of WordPress.
Upshot — Firefox has hiccups with java/ajax stuff; Chrome seems most stable for us these days, Safari on Mac “mostly” good, and IE11/Win7 is about 75% reliable with WP these days.
Probably doesn’t help.
Try fully clearing your browser cache/temp files — that does seem to help here.
Hello,
We are getting a lot of fatal errors and white screens (which require a reload or 2 before website displays.
We have a dedicated server with the following guts:

We tried deactivating ALL plugins except visual composer.. This did NOT stop errors.
We tried deactivating all except those included from tagDiv.. This also did NOT fix it.

Hey,
sorry that I haven’t answered, but I tried it one more time with the newest version. Grayed theme panel looks like this:
https://app.box.com/s/w9wwa21wphku2x86dqou84po2fp8mgvv
I have tried it on different browsers (Chrome, Firefox), cleared cache and still the same:/ host is webd.pl, however version 1.6 works completely fine!

Fix for php overload issue …
On some sites with high traffic, large number of page views, large number of pages, online for years and years — you may see warnings on server of php going from “green to yellow” or “green to red” and in our case on ONE site this was happening in weird 5, 10, 20 minute intervals “on the nose.” The site gets pinged a LOT from news aggregators, Google News feeds, etc.
Finally figured out it was NOT home page complex layout, was NOT sidebars, was not anything related to ads (e.g., 3 ads per page vs 2), not related to Disqus or sharing buttons/widgets or Mashshare, etc.
Turned out to be the built-in “related” posts and more from author below each story. Disabling this immediately stopped the pummeling.
For this one website, we reverted to using “Contextual Related Posts” plugin, which we were using on this one site prior to Newsmag, so we knew it already would play nice. So, I now have that running and the plugin is setup to show 5 related posts as “text only” at bottom of each story (above the tag buttons). The plugin caches the most common searches to maintain juicy goodness and not overload the php query system.
This hasn’t been an issue on the other 5 sites, even when limited to only 3 items — but this ONE big site, it just was pushing things right to the “one more straw…” — hitting some CPU peaks of “10” vs normal of “1” or “2” (anything regularly over “4” means something funky going on ….).
So, right now with
(6) x NewsMag Sites
(2) x Newspaper Sites
(1) giant site not running WP
(6) sites running Woo
(2) sites running other (e.g., Udesign)
(10) misc apps, placeholder, ecommerce sites — not using WP
CPU
Last 1 minute 1.78
Last 5 minutes 1.55
Last 15 minutes 1.25
this morning it was running “hot” at “10” …
so, in case you need to “tune” a specific site for high spike-o-ramas, try disabling the “related” items bottom of your post page FIRST (!)
