Have same issue here on Newspaper 8.7 (after update from 8.5). Will try the update of td-composer. Anything else I need to update except theme files?
Hello,
Please update your theme to the latest version and test again. 8.7.1 is out and it fixed any known issues with the tagdiv composer and visual composer. Also please update the plugins by deleting the ones you currently have installed now and installing them again from the theme plugins section
Thank you!
From my experience there are blocks in the lower part of your page that you can not edit with TD composer and that did frustrate me a lot as I also used a demo like you.
Usually, it is a side bar and a block that holds all post at the lowest part of the front page.
If you don’t like it you can remove it but in my case it was a newspaper site so that block will be good for archives.
To remove it you have to go to pages, select edit page for the particular page, go to the page attributes. Under template select only page builder+page title or Default if you want to remove that block that TD composer can’t recognize.
You can also look at the latest articles block beside it too. That can affect how the default lower block looks
Indeed there were some fixes made, mainly the issue where the tagDiv composer not being updated caused blank pages. The theme is now version 8.7.1 you can download it and install. Let us know if you are experiencing problems of any kind.
Thank you!
Hello,
after updating to Newspaper 8.7 I can’t access Settings/Google Tag Manager in WP backend. It shows only this message:
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: tdc_config::$group_params in /mnt/data/accounts/…/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/tdc_map.php on line 1494
Is there anything I can do with it? Thanks
Andrea
Hi,
The theme will try to update the plugin automatically, but seems sometimes it fails. Try to use FTP to install the composer. Remove the previous plugin folder from the uploads folder (if present) and paste the new one from the latest theme package (unzip it first). A guide for manually installing a plugin here
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/step-by-step-guide-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-for-beginners/
All the plugins are provided in the plugins folder located in the theme package

Please update to the latest version as there was an update to version 8.7.1 that fixed the issues regarding visual composer as well as other urgent fixes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Sorry but the tagdiv composer only works on pages for the moment. There is no implementation made for it to work on posts, categories or other templates.
Thank you!
Hello Lars,
We have encountered this issue before with our users but could not find the answer to this issue. Please help us understand what device you are using that does not have a scrolling possibility. A mouse has a mouse wheel, a touchscreen device can scroll with gestures, a laptop/notebook has a touch-pad. What type of device do you use that cannot scroll? If you help us understand this, we will implement a fix for the specific device but we cannot think of any situation where you do not have scrolling possibilities. We did not add a scrollbar to the tagDiv composer but if there are indeed devices out there that cannot scroll, we will implement a scrollbar if needed.
Thank you!
Hi,
WPBakery Page Builder plugin did not receive any updates, the latest version is 5.4.5 which is provided in the theme package. You can keep using this for your products.
Woocommerce provides shortcodes, these can be used in the tagDiv composer if you decide to use the tagDiv composer in the future
– https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/
These shortcodes can be placed in text elements using the tagDiv composer

i have further identified that the file td-composer.php is the issue. the theme is active now, but my admin page crashes unless i change to td-composer.php.bak
I have identified the problem as being either the td-composer folder, or something in that folder.. why is this happening? clean install, no other plug ins. literally have done nothing with my site other than set up cpanel and wordpress and then ftp the theme since installing didnt work
when I tried to install tagDiv Composer plugin it shows the message “The plugin does not have a valid header.”
@bogdan, thanks for the reply. I already mentioned that I removed the old tagdiv composer, uninstalled the theme > deleted the old theme folder > uploaded the new theme file [downloaded from envato] using FTP > installed the tagdiv manually and I still face the same issue.
I couldn’t see any of the posts and it only loads the title. The homepage generated using tagdiv is also blank. All I can see is category pages, archives, etc. but once I go to any post, it shows as blank.
Although td_composer can be used, it has errors.

The ticker at the top uses a shortcode from this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/cryptocurrency-price-ticker-widget/ and you can place it in a column text element for tagdiv composer.
(I don’t work here) I was just giving you the way to insert the shortcode in your theme. It requires the plugin I mentioned and also a short code provided after you configure the plugin to insert in a “column text” element found in td composer.
There are several ways to filter the posts that appear in the news ticker (you can edit or insert the element to a page using td composer).
Got a theme update notice again today, updated theme after clearing cache along with standard process of backup/cleanup etc. As precaution, deleted and reinstalled Tagdiv plugins as was advised during the last update when we encountered issues after theme update.
Post today’s update, noticed a main block of content vanished from the home page. One of the settings “Random Post Today” in Block 3 of “Sort Order” filter was malfunctioning after the update (showing “no post” message in the row) while it worked just fine before today’s update, changed it to a different setting and it worked fine. Tested this multiple times to confirmed the issue.
For Tagdiv, please take a note, test this bug and release fix. Others with a similar config on their sites can take a note and switch to other settings until a stable fix is released.
I solutioned by using the TagDiv Composer instead of WPBakery Page Builder
I spent 2 1/2 hours on phone today with Hostgator and they tracked it down the Tag Composer. The resources were taking up 41% of the memory. Pages have been taking a long time publish because of not enough memory.
Anyone know if disabling it after creating the pages will work?
Hi, I just received a notice to update the topic. Currently I have the 8.7 I must say that the update 8.7 has been a nightmare. I blocked my access to my administrator blank page, and the last thing I deconfigured my landing pages very large images. This error is solved by reading in the forum, deactivating the tagDiv Composer. But I fail the tagDiv Social Counter out pure codes. I do not know whether to update or wait for the results if it does not have failures. regards
Deactivate the td composer if you use wp bakery visual composer.
Hi Catalin, thanks for your answare, I have follow your suggest and I have disable the Visual Composer.
However in this way I have lost same controller like for example the Tab Constroller
In TD Composer there is something like that?
Thanks again!
Hi! Thank you for your reply.
I have checked, and my home url and site url are both https. I have also tried disabling all plugins, cleared all caching, deleting the existing theme and reinstalling it via the ftp method. I have then tried reinstalling the td-composer plugin. And the results are the same as before.
I’m now convinced that the problem lies with the buggy td-composer update, as many others have reported similar issues. Can we expect the issues to fixed anytime soon?
