I turned on the Instagram on the home page in the theme panel settings and have all the settings inputted correctly my footer disappears and all I see is follow us on Instagram and my account info. no pics nothing. So i turned off all plugins and still doing the same thing. Any suggestions ? I even re-installed the theme, still getting the same behavior. Also when I try to add Instagram via tagDiv Page composer, everything on that page disappears as well.
I’m having issues using the TD Composer, just a blank screen. This happened after upgrading the 8.7.1 and updating the plugins.
There appears to be a conflict with TD Composer and the popular Shortcoder Plugin where when you add a Title+Text block to a page and try to edit the text, the editor in the pop-up window won’t render. Deactivating the plug-in solves this.
This is on a clean/fresh install of Newspaper 8.6 using TD Composer 1.0. Haven’t yet tried 8.7 and the new TD Composer, but will once the bugs are ironed out.
Wanted to let the tagDiv team know to fix in an upcoming release
Hi,
My TD composer won’t load for my homepage. The page remains grey and the spinner just keeps spinning. It works fine on other pages, just not for my homepage (which is where I need to do most of the work!).
I understand this can often be caused by insufficient system resources, so I’ve checked my theme system status and updated any that were yellow, including increasing my WP Memory Limit. Everything is now green, but the problem with the TD Composer remains.
Can anyone help with this?
Much thanks.
My first go at upgrading to 8.7 was a disaster. I punted and went back to 8.6.
I then rebuilt the website up from scratch exactly the way I want without starting with a demo. I used Visual Composer as Tag Composer constantly locked my screen or would not perform. I started with a blank sheet, added rows, columns and widgets and set the loops for articles up and I was successful in creating a robust site with Slider Revolution at the top, pressed right up to the MAIN MENU, having to trick it by entering -48px for the Margin, Newsletters call to actions, Social Media interfaces and a whole lot more.
I then used DUPLICATOR, as I had done in the past, and everything was migrated without a hitch. Previously when I used DUPLICATOR and built the site up using one of the Demos, the replicated site never carried over from the original site. Building a site up from scratch apparently set everything I needed in such a way that DUPLICATING it became a snap.I did not have to do an EXPORT and then IMPORT of Theme settings.
THEN . . . having replicated the site over to another, I gave the 8.6 to 8.7.1 upgrade another try.
To upgrade Visual Composer and Tag Composer, you must first Deactivate and delete them. If you follow the sequence provided in the documentation, it states to delete the Newspaper theme first, then FTP 8.7.1 over under the Themes Folder AND THEN upgrade your plugins.
If you follow that sequence, the Admin Dashboard is completely shutdown and goes blank white. You lose all access to being able to visually do anything. I blew out the site again, and reinstalled again with DUPLICATOR.
The sequence I followed that worked was:
I deleted Visual Composer first and updated it.
I deleted Social and updated it.
I then deleted Tag Composer, updated it, then got a boat load of ever messages of incompatibility with 8.6 and the Social Counter.
I then blew out the old Newspaper theme and replaced it with 8.7.1.
Then and only then did everything work flawlessly.
I installed the AMP plugin expecting a robust configuration tool. The only thing I was able to do was set some colors. Have I completely missed something? I was using AMP for WP and it allowed me to set an image in the header. the only reason I migrated to 8.7.1 was that I thought I would get some robust AMP configuration capability. AMP for WordPress was selling a NEWSPAPER compatible Theme for AMP but I thought with TagDiv I would get a more bug free, robust integration.
Documentation really is very thin. The tutorial on AMP was thin and I struggled to find out if I just needed to drop the Analytics code in or drop in actual code as described in the pop up help on the Theme Panel. I finally just dropped the Analytics code, brought up Google Analytics Dashboard and tested and it worked.
I could not find any specific documentation on the Multi Purpose Plugin. I installed it, played around with settings, and notice no difference on the site, so I deleted it.
The Newsletter Plugin – I have not been able to find any documentation on this at all. I have previously installed Holler Box and it meets my needs, so I deleted this plugin as well.
SO . . . . I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I GAINED BY UPGRADING TO 8.7.1.
As I read I am finding TagDiv is stating there are bugs with AMP and there will be an emergency patch. I have no idea what those bugs are. I am getting results on the Google Dashboard.
My issue is the AMP Post has no customization. What am I missing? Do I create a template? Do I need to Reinstall AMP fo WP so I can have a logo in the Header? I thought the whole point of Upgrading to 8.7.1 was so that AMP was fully supported.
Hello Team
I am getting Oops Page Not found VERY frequently for any action. Like going to plugins page, or editing post, writing post, updating post, opening page – basically any activity on wp-admin pages, I get oops Error 404 page not found.
I checked the apache logs and it gave “Error: Premature end of script headers” error
I investigated further and found out that tagdiv composer plugin is causing this issue. If I inactivate the plugin, entire site works fine. if i activate this plugin, the performance is VERY bad and i keep getting errors.
I am on shared hosting on Dreamhost. Please note, if I inactivate this plugin – everything works super good. So no issue with hosting. Also front end seems pretty okay and users do not get any error. its always on wp-admin pages inside.
Please help!
Hi,
I’m encountering the same problems that a lot of other people seem to be having. When I go to use TD composer and use the page elements “icons” the icons don’t load or the “column text” element the wp text editor doesn’t load. I was having a look at the system requirements and think this could be because the max_execution_time requirement. On the system status it says it recommends over 60 if using the demos. I am not using a demo, but wondering if this is still the issue.
I have my hosting through hostgator and the max_execution_time is fixed at 30. Is it really the case that in order to run this theme I would have to upgrade my entire hosting package?
Hi again Epickenyan,
Thanks for the response. I am newbie at this. I have some other questions:
-If there is an apparent problem with the composers why we should download both at first place? why they tell us to upload the visual composer after td composer?
-Should we upload the plugins in some order? For example I uploaded the cache plugin after I built some pages but I encountered many problems after it. (I am not sure tough)
-I decided to go with td composer but I need to start all over the site. What do you advice me for the beginning? (Not just for the theme, wordpress and the others settings)
thank you in advance
I am trying to create a new page with TD Composer. If I click edit with td composer, I get a grey-white page with a permanently spinning spinner. Nothing else. I recently upgraded to 8.7.1 Further, trying to use TD Composer first time. Earlier, I am used to work with VC.
For that I put site under maintenance mode. deactivated all plugin except TD Composer. but no luck same result.
The page was built using TD Composer. I also rebuilt the page but it still doesn’t work.
I want to insert an image on top of a category page, but i cant edit a category page with the tagdiv composer
how can I do that?
thanks!
Hi,
1. You can download the theme once and use it for both installs, there will be no problem. The same package is provided.
2. You should download the full package, this will contain all the plugins (both required and optional) child theme etc
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
The latest theme version is 8.7.1.
The most recommended method of updating is by FTP upload
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
After updating check if the tagDiv composer and multi-purpose plugins have been updated automatically. The composer should be version 2.1 and the multi-purpose plugin 2.0
– https://www.screencast.com/t/qUQ9uTJkd
Let us know if you have problems. In the following week there will be a theme update released which will fix some issues that are currently happening for some users.
Thanks
Hi,
That issue was solved in theme version 8.7.1, there was indeed a problem in 8.7 when the social counter will not appear in Visual composer unless the tagDiv composer was active. However now it is fixed, update the theme and there should be no problem.
Thanks
Hello, I am trying to build a page with tagDiv Composer, I have built half of the page without problems, but now I have problems, every time I want to insert a new element, I get an error, attached capture with error messages. Thank you

Hi,
1. In terms of homepage layout there are many possibilities in which you can create it. There are many elements in the tagDiv composer and also added by the multi-purpose plugin, which can be used on pages. So you can begin and build your page in any way you like, with the tagDiv composer.
A thing to note would be that the menu will be displayed in the header of the page, not the sidebar.
2. You could try to make speed optimization by yourself, if you require professional services you could use freelancers/service providers from Envato studio

Thank you!
There is a know issue, please see this topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/eta-on-fix-for-td-composeradmin-issue/
In some cases there were 500 errors caused by a setting in cpanel
– https://www.screencast.com/t/bTBuIp7590RX
– https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/cpanel/lets-encrypt/#How_to_issue_and_install_a_new_Lets_Encrypt_certificate_yourself
We are working to see why that setting is causing the 500 errors. Sorry again for this inconvenience.
Hi,
Do not hesitate to let us know if you are experiencing issues. The composer should work at any moment. Usually that issue is caused by insufficient resources, please check the theme system status
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Ask your hosting provider to increase the allocated resources if needed. Then check if the issue is solved. Let us know.
Thanks
Hi,
As a first mention, please note that the tagDiv composer is not a copy of Visual composer. So not elements available in Visual composer are present in the tagDiv composer, or the other way around. We have added multiple new elements and options in the tagDiv composer (also the multi-purpose plugin) and we will continue to do so. There will be a considerable amount of functionality added to our page builder.
Indeed a gallery element is not available at the moment, there are only image elements
– https://www.screencast.com/t/lLDrEHXEl
A specific gallery element might be added in the future.
Switching between builders is highly not recommended, there will be issues. Choose a composer and use only that one.
You could use the column text element, text can be styled and entered thorough the WordPress editor

Hi
i use 8.7 theme version with js composer for making page
if i load via ftp new version of td-social-counter plugin, I get the code below instead of the button
[td_block_social_counter custom_title="" style="style7 td-social-boxed" facebook="name" facebook_app_id="0000000000" facebook_security_key="00000000000" facebook_access_token="0000000" twitter="name" googleplus="+name" open_in_new_window="y"][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]
moreover in js composer backend editor, the code is strangely displayed as text.
the social block has disappeared…
Going back to the old version 4.2 of the plugin (contained in theme 8.6) everything works well.
How to solve?
Thanks
Hello,
The tagdiv composer will only work on pages that have been built with the tagdiv composer. You will not be able to edit pages that have been built with other page builders as it will provide an error. Please try to recreate your page using the tagdiv composer on a brand new page.
Thank you!
Hi,
All the demos are created with the tagDiv composer, this is the main page builder in the theme at the moment. WPBakery page builder will still be provided in the theme package.
1. It is recommended to choose a page builder and use only that one, to avoid possible issues. Note that the tagDiv composer has already received many options and features and many more will come. There are plans to implement a considerable amount of functionality in the composer.
2/3/4. You can disable the WPBakery page builder, it is not a required plugin.
Thanks
Hi,
I believe you have installed the News Magazine demo
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_magazine/
This demo has a condition in the custom design, the block titles are set to transparent and also the left padding is removed. This condition overrides the colors you are setting in the composer. It could be removed if needed, remove this code from the demo stylsesheet
– https://www.screencast.com/t/nZPSdF2Jn
The result will be like this

Hello,
I have a vector logo, is there an easy way i can use this for scalability instead of a .png? where would i insert the code?
I would also like to use .svg backgrounds INSTEAD of using background images on blocks etc. is this possible through td composer. perhaps the css editor of an element?
thank you
Hi
I just get the loading symbol when i try to edit with td composer on any page.
i can still access everything else.
i waited 24 hours but it is still happening.
thank you
I’ve been using TD Composer now and I like the upgrade. However there are a few elements from the old Visual Composer that I don’t see in the new TD composer and I was wondering if I was missing something.
Say for example image gallery. It’s an option in the old visual composer and was very useful. Is there no option now to have image gallery in TD composer? Would I have to keep switching back and forth between the two page builders to make this possible?
Also I was wondering about the text as well. When I’m using inline text do I have to format it with html tags? (eg. <br>, <b></b> etc?) Am I not able to use the text editor like before? It’s just a lot more time consuming to format the text than it was before and I’m wondering what the best way forward here is.
Appreciate the help.
