Hi,
That is quite an old theme version, much has changed in the theme since then. However you can make the update and there should be no problem. Follow this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Update by FTP if possible, this is the most recommended method in the matter. After the update deactivate the tagDiv composer, this composer may cause issues to pages built with Visual composer. It will be activated by default when the theme is installed or updated.
The tagDiv composer is considered the main theme page builder now, Visual composer will still be included in the package and updated along theme updates
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
There will be a new theme update released this week, to fix some of the issues with the latest version. You could wait for this release and update after it is live.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can always create a new topic and post the question you have, we and the community will try our best to help you.
1. That is the Latest articles section, it will be displayed when the required page template is selected. You can choose a different page template
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8FLc5Zbls
2. Check the events plugin documentation and implementation methods. Plugin content will not be available as an element in the composer. If that plugin provides a shortcode you can place that in a text element (save the page and view it to see it rendered)

3. There is a social counter element in the composer, if that would be helpful

Hi, I bought the 8.7 newspaper theme today again (it is my 7st installation and purchasing), but this time, I have big problems.
After Activating the theme, I only get a blank screen.
I have to rename the theme via FTP to work with another.
I deactivated the plugins TDComposer bzw. renamed it via FTP, than I can work on, but after installing this plugin from the Theme or via Upload in the plugins area – however – even a BLANK SCREEN.
So – what can I do?
I can´t find the 8.5 or 8.6 to download to try maybe this version….
It is on http://www.genugistgenug.org
Hello chintakdholakia,
Ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and also, the latest version of the required plugins which come bundled with the theme core files. Check if the TD Composer version is 2.1. Clear all the caches and check the results. Also, you should try to make a new fresh install to another sub-domain for testing and check the results.
Hope this help and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello dylanswims,
Please increase your system status parameters to be according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, ensure that your theme version is the latest one and also, the TD Composer version is v2.1.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello munvik,
Make sure that you are using the latest version of the TD COmposer which is v2.1 and the latest version of the theme installed via FTP way. Clear all the caches and check the results. The plugin has been fully tested and should work as expected.
Thanks.
It seems there are no posts to display, some of the the blocks are empty from what I can see. Edit the page with the composer, check the filtering and sorting on the blocks, check the categories and see if they have posts.
Cloudflare is compatible with the theme as long as you are configuring it like so
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
If there are problems with it, you could try some basic troubleshooting
– https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/sections/200804937-General-Troubleshooting
So the problem is only with one page, that means there is something specific to it, causing the composer to not work properly on it. If that is the page (the advertise page) it should work, there is a simple text block and contact form in it’s content from what I can see. Also you say you rebuilt it and there is still a problem only on that page.
You could send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information, we will take a look. Also include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
Hello ltonline,
Unfortunately, the category page cannot be changed with TD Composer, sorry! You should edit the theme core files and use the do_shortcode() method because this is the surest method in this case. As a hint, you should check the following topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/per-category-leaderboard-ads/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please check if the tagDiv composer has been automatically updated (it should be version 2.1, and ten multi-purpose plugin 2.0)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qUQ9uTJkd
If they have not been updated automatically, update theme manually. Deactivate and remove them and install them again from the theme plugins panel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/6zCoZkd9
Let us know of there still is a problem.
Thanks
Hi,
First please check the theme system status parameters
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Then deactivate all other plugins except theme plugins and test again to see if the error message is still displayed when using the composer.
If it is, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information and FTP access, we will investigate further. Also include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
hi support,
I’ve been using Newspaper 8.7.1 TD composer 2.1 to create my homepage, all the while it works fine, but today some shortcode suddenly display inline instead of render the element/component. Nothing major/config was changed recently.
Screenshot #1 https://imgur.com/s34WRPn
shown the shortcode scattered around when live preview outside TD Composer (either via wordpress admin panel or direct url access)
Screenshot #2 https://imgur.com/wZ9Fxzc
those shortcode gone when preview within TD Composer or view via the TD Composer’s preview button.
pls advise what’s went wrong & how to fix it. thanks.
I also can’t access to composer since update
Try the ‘column text’ element in td composer to insert shortcodes. Got the news ticker at the top of my homepage working by using that element in td composer.
Have you activated WP Bakery Visual Composer?
@erosm email cotact@tagdiv.com and request a copy of the previous version(s) of the theme. @NightwolfBlood the td composer was updated on 20th February. Maybe you should download it afresh and try again. (Remember to update the multipurpose plugin too if you use it).
I also just know basic things from working with several WordPress themes, so most things about the theme are also technical for me. Now. let me try to answer your questions:
1. Some people were getting errors with their theme after updating to 8.7 and being told to install td composer first was in a bid to try and correct those problems. You can later deactivate td composer if you want to use visual composer. Though the theme developers recommend td composer coz it has elements developed specifically for the theme, with major (and minor) improvements coming in future. You don’t have to install visual composer after td composer if your theme works smoothly if you update visual composer (and bot page builders should not be used together to avoid conflicts).
2. Which cache plugin are you referring to? There is no specific order to install or update the theme specific plugins. If they do not update automatically after updating the theme, just deactivate and delete them and install them afresh from Newspaper>Plugins section or via ftp from the plugins folder of the Newspaper-rtf folder (the one you download from theme forest with al the files inside).
3. If you have chosen td composer, just know you will have to recreate any pages you made with visual composer afresh. The best advice I can give you, first, to know some basics about the newspaper theme coz it is the theme you are currently using, and second is is to always sure you back up your site (at least daily for the database and weekly for the whole site, and I recommend updraft coz it supports remote storage to google drive, Dropbox and others, and also back up the site before updating the theme). I would recommend this site http://www.wpbeginner.com if you want to learn anything about WordPress as a beginner coz it was very useful to me in the beginning (and still is, I, in fact, visit it at least once a week).
Hope that helps you out, and the tagdiv team can add on it.
You should have installed the demo with content and edit the homepage with td composer if you wanted it to look like the demo. Without demo content, you have to figure out which grids and blocks the demo is using and recreate them using td composer. (I don’t work here)
You should deactivate and delete the td composer (and td multipurpose if you use it) and install the one that comes with theme version 8.7 in Newspaper>plugins. (I don’t work here).
Hi, I have the same issue. I have just purchased Newspaper Theme and installed it via FTP.
Everything worked smoothly, but after I installed td-composer the backend gone blank and the only solution is to disable td-composer via FTP. I’ve tried to do the same as NightwolfBlood, with no success. I don’t have a previous version to revert to. What can I do?
With version 8.6 everything works perfectly, but when updating everything, this includes the template and the plugins I can not access the admin page, a blank page appears, I removed all the plugins leaving only the td-composer, but the error continues, only if I disable the td-composer plugin via FTP. I had to restore my backup to go back to version 8.6. Do you know how to help me? Sorry for my bad English.
Hi
I have major issues with my website, none of my pages that have been built using Tag Div Composer works. i only use the Tag Div Composer and I have tried all the fixes I have seen from other posts in the forum but no joy. I have even tried rebuilding the pages from scratch but nothing works.
This is the error i receive – Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!
Help needed as soon as possible..
Hello,
I’ve increased the limit to 128M and confirmed with my host that is the max.
I’m getting all greens on the system status page as I had done before.
But it still won’t load the tagdiv composer on any old or new pages i create.
i tried deactivating pretty much every plugin (i don’t really have any except for the recommended ones) but that did not work.
i deleted Tagdiv composer, downloaded a new copy from Envato, uploaded and reactivated. It still doesn’t work.
Please advise.
Thank you
Hello,
I have been using your theme for some time and it is the best!
The new tagdiv composer and multi purpose is great for building landing pages, though i have one major problem. I cannont make the contact 7 short code work with the composer. I tried the “raw html” block but doesnt work! There is no option to insert contact forms in the composer even with multipurpose. Is there and other way to do it?
Regards.
Korhan
PS – I did insert the contact form short code with visual composer but as you mention in support pages usage of both tagdiv composer and visual composer creates problems in the page
Hello, Newspaper Experts!
I’m slowly trying to set up my website with this software and have encountered three issues I’m unable to resolve.
1) I want to remove the “Latest News” Block but am unable to delete in TagDiv Composer. I read information about deactivating the mobile plug-in and did that, but there was no change, so I’m stuck on what to do next.
2) I added the Events Calendar and its somehow linked to the “Latest News” Block. I don’t know how to add this as a widget to the column above as it doesn’t show in TagDiv Composer. Any tutorials/suggestions you can recommend?
3) I’d like to add a Twitter Feed to my right column and don’t see that capability. Any recommendations for a novice like me?
