Hello Simion or other Newspaper tech assistants,
I’ve been working on updating my website to the latest Newspaper version which has included trying to transition from using WPBakery to TDComposer for layout. I’ve rebuilt the Home page, About, and, Store pages but have been dissapointed with how difficult it is to accomplish what I want with TD Composer.
1.) Many of the valuable layout blocks present in WP Bakery are absent in TDComposer including the dozen WooCommerce blocks and widgets. I’ve tried but don’t find an easy way to customize the WooCommerce Store page layout using Composer. I loaded a WooCommerce shortcode plugin but don’t find any way to view it or use it when rows and columns are setup in Composer.
#2) Managing fonts has always been crazy in Newspaper. The fine granulations of font options for customization of the module, blocks, templates, articles, & headers, is almost too much to keep straight. Often when a setting change is made, it fails to affect the target line of text. Currently, despite using the Firefox page Inspector tool to track down the error, I can’t find the source of the font error for display of the post article titles in Blocks 8, 2, & 11 on my home page. They are now too large.
Somehow my attempt to standardize the site’s font styles and sizes, by adjusting settings in the Newspaper theme panel, has over-enlarged those titles. In the theme panel I don’t see any setting source for the faulty ‘Old Sans, 32px, 400, 26 line-height’attached to the titles.
I setup a new home page using Composer and added the Block 8. Despite inputing various font style data, there was no change registered on the fonts displayed in that block. The same error persists. How do I track down the source of such Font issues? Should manual font settings made in the Composer blocks, override Theme panel font settings?
Could you assist?
Thank you,
Lon Kaufmann
Current clone site: mkdv.meta-morphos.es
AND tagDiv Composer seems to be having an issue loading when I try to pull up my homepage so I can edit with it. All plugins have already been updated.
This is unacceptable.
Hello,
I’m looking for a solution to display a specific menu (with a call to action) when visitor scrolls down a post.
Maybe it’s not called a menu in tagdiv…
See an example :
1. Normal mobile menu : https://snag.gy/tEIVvd.jpg
2. Special menu/call to action : https://snag.gy/lwTxWD.jpg
I can’t find how to do this with the composer.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
The templates I copied from the old Newspaper theme(before 9.7) to a custom child theme no longer work, as the original templates have been moved to the td-composer plugin.
You have an old guide here on how to do exactly this, but its no longer relevant as all the templates have been moved to the td-composer plugin.
Can you help me with making this work?
Thanks
Hi,
If you like the style 8 and you want to edit it you can do it only in tagDiv Composer plugin files, in wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/parts/single/single_template_8.php or loop-single-8.php
Thank you!
Hello !
In order to make the site full width you have to select every row of your page using the tagDiv Composer and then set the stretch mode you want like here : https://www.screencast.com/t/BkWwdHh6
In order to make the post page full width you will have to add a single post template and then edit it. Check more about how to have single post template here: https://tagdiv.com/customize-articles-with-single-post-templates/ And for the header you can do it here: https://www.screencast.com/t/xf56tQN0.
Thank you !

Hi,
Since Newspaper v9.7 a lots of files was moved in td-composer, you need to look for this files in wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/includes/shortcodes/td_block_mega_menu.php and wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/common/wp_booster/td_menu.php
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!

Any issue in newspaper 9 and bakery visual composer? I cant get it work correctly
Hello !
You can set the space between elements using the tagDiv Composer and editing them via the CSS tab like here: https://www.screencast.com/t/U9kOh4CNMt
Thank you !
Hi,
This is the first report that we get for this case, also I’ve made some tests to try to recreate this error and I can not recreate it, most likely you have other plugin that is in conflict with our tagDiv Composer plugin and your implementation solved the problem in your case.
Also there still seams to be a problem with the mobile menu, please set this custom css in Theme panel > Custom code> Advance css > Phones
https://www.screencast.com/t/qN1qVKZeLQg
.td-mobile-content .td-icon-menu-right {
display: block;
}This is the list of plugins tested with our theme https://www.screencast.com/t/i70rduqUR73
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience!
I have upgraded from newspaper 7 to newspaper 9. Everything works almost fine but I have noticed that the bakery visual composer does not work.
When I add any module (columns, rows, images) the opened modal does not show nothing.
When I go back go the older theme (newspaper 7) it works fine again.
Hi,
@maik-b Those options were removed in the latest update, the ad box as a widget can now only be used with the predefined ad spots – http://prntscr.com/o0v2km So it will not have the same options as when using the composer – http://prntscr.com/o0v2zl
I can’t say if the ad box widget will receive the same options or not. You could use a text widget to display the ad, that should work. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the default template from theme can not be editable, but you can edit a single post template that is the same as post style 8, you can get that it from tagDiv Cloud Library, in single and you can edit it using tagDiv Compose.

Thank you!
Hi @JKLFab,
So you have set as a homepage a page that was build with tagDiv Composer and have a sidebar, if is so then the sidebar need to be set with tagDiv Composer
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/kQc6pEXYm -> https://www.screencast.com/t/s7jl2pMef
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/2F1FmZQ3pV
Also if you are using the Page Builder + Latest Articles + Pagination page template you’ll have a sidebar on that page on latest articles -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
Thank you!
Hi,
The tagDiv composer is the main page builder provided with theme, it is created by us. I would suggest that you check the file permissions as a first step
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/
Because that could be one of the causes – https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-failed-to-open-stream-error/
Also check the theme requirements guide carefully
– https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/
As a note, please try to not post multiple times in the same topic, this will only delay the response on our part. That happens because it will refresh the topic date, and we reply from oldest to newest.
Thanks

Hi,
When the mobile theme plugin is enabled, you will have to create 2 versions for each page. One for desktop with the composer or in any way possible, and one for mobile with the simple mobile editor (can’t be built with the composer)
– https://tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-automatic-optimization-for-mobile-newspaper-theme/
So you will have to edit the pages and enter content in the mobile editor, it should be at the bottom of the edit page screen – http://prntscr.com/o0abx0
In the mobile editor you can enter text, images, shortcodes should work as well.
If the mobile theme is not active, the same content from desktop will be displayed on mobile.
Thanks
Good morning,
I’ve just finished to create a page with td-composer but when I try to enter for editing it, I receive 2 error messages:
the first one is a warning informing me that the content is not created with td-composer (not true), and the second is:
Errors at columns: 1(models) : 2(dom). The model does not match the content
and I cannot reach the page for editing (just see the standard wp editor)
this is my page
https://testservices.kedos-srl.it/elsewhere/playlist/
How can I fix this problem?
Thank you for helping

Hello,
when I activate the td-composer plugin I get an “ajax error”. When the plugin td-composer is active the website display the following error:
“The site is experiencing technical difficulties. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.”
I contacted the server asking them to check what was the root cause of the issue. Trying to solve the issue, they raised the memory allowed to the maximum (512M), but even with this higher limit the plugin keeps showing a problem connected with the memory available.
Hi,
Please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
If you want the builders to work as before the Newspaper v9.7 you need to replace the tdc_map.php from v9.7 with tdc_map.php from v9.6 the path for this file is in wp-content>plugins>td-composer>includes>tdc_map.php
If you need help with this, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login, as well as cPanel or FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Hope this will help you!
Thank you!
Hi @vamsinani24,
If you want to use the modified date on post on responsive version of Newspaper theme ( not mobile theme plugin ) you need to use a single post template from tagDiv Cloud Library and set the single post modified date element using tagDiv Composer
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/GkUe62u7W
-> https://www.screencast.com/t/NAEhbrP8R
Unfortunately this is the only solution for the moment.
Thank you!
