Hello,
You will not be able to show the excerpt for these posts, but you can use a single image element to highlight the featured image and to type in the title of the post and then link the image to the external post by using the tagdiv composer and the image box element. Here is an example on how it will display: https://www.screencast.com/t/ckBpFKQA

Thank you!
Hello francedeam,
Please notice that you have to use only the Visual Composer version which comes bundled with our theme packet and not another version of it, right? This plugin was tested with our theme and should work as expected with it. To be sure that you are using the right plugin version, you should download the new theme version from theme forest and make a new fresh install via FTP, clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The tagDiv composer is necessary to be active, for the demo to be displayed properly. Problems with some elements of the demo can be present. You could make a test and install the demo in a testing environment, while having the tagDiv composer deactivated, and Visual composer active. And check if everything is fine.
So installing the demo poses no problem, but it may not be displayed as intended without an active tagDiv composer.
The theme panel settings can be exported for saving, and later imported. More about this here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-export-theme-settings/
Thanks
OK, but you still did not mention what exactly is the problem. What is happening? Why can’t you install a demo in 2 minutes like everybody else? You simply press the install demo button and the demo begins installing with or without content. Why does this process take weeks? Pleas provide more details and if yu require specific aid, contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin so we can login and investigate.
As for full grids, please make sure your site is not boxed. Adding any at all background image or color (including white) will cause the theme to go into boxed mode. Please remove any image and press the clear button for the background color in the theme panel under colors section. Now you can use the stretch row and content feature of the row settings inside the tagdiv composer settings.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have inspected your website and refreshed the pages for a while, but I do not see this effect you mention. I had no problem browsing it.
If it is not displaying all the time, maybe a plugin is causing it. Try disabling all your plugins except the composer you are using, and clear the cache if you have caching installed. Then check if you can still see this issue. If it is not present anymore, enable the plugins one at a time, while checking.
Thanks
i contact WPBakery Support after Visual Composer Update keep crashing my website !
on this websites am using Newspaper 8 and Visual Composer.
this what after Visual Composer support are saying !
WPBakery Support –
The issue can occur if get_row_css_class or add_shortcode_param was used in the theme. These functions were deprecated in past and your theme is still using it. You can contact the theme author to get rid of these from the theme so that the issue will be fixed at your end.
how can fix !
Hello,
I really love your work. I have Newspaper template and everything is perfect. I noticed now you have new Demos. ARt Creet is breathtaking. I would like to install Art Creek demo to my template. I would like to ask it is necessary to haveTagDiv Composer because I have problem with conflicting with Visual Composer. I would like use them both but it isnot functional. I build my site on visual composer and I cant afford to turn off. I need visual Compsoer activated. Please can you give me tip. It is possbbile to instal demo Art Creek without TagDiv Composer?
And I would like to save my current template seting before instaling demo. Can you give me tip how to do it?
Thanks a lot

thanks for the reply bogdan.
no errors at all (other than i can´t activate it which i reported on another post).
it has been a long weekend of battle against the theme, but i´m pretty well there now. some specific quirks still outstanding.
i can´t get any full grid to work for example so i´ve had to go boxed. doing my best to go with the tag div composer, but i´m really not feeling it.
worst of it is that despite having less on homepage now than in old theme, my pagespeed has slumped from 85 to 58 desktop – and the 58 is having worked super cache settings beyond your theme recommended which were giving me 51.
my feedback is that some more realistic notes would be better. the video and docs give the impression that the upgrade/switch and a new demo is a job to complete in minutes. It is hugely more complicated than that. It is a set aside a weekend job – and a good 10 hours of that could have been avoided with better documentation, a coherent start to finish tutorial instead of scattered docs and videos which leave you coming across essential info that you had no way of knowing existed until something goes wrong and you start hunting.
I hope you´ll take that to whoever decides these things at td
Hello,
You should not use any p[age builder to build posts. Use only the tiny mce editor like so:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-templates-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-formats-for-tinymce/
If ypou want to use opur own page builder, please disable the visual composer plugin and re-create any pages built with it and remove any visual composer shortcodes from your posts.
Thank you!
Hi,
The modal image should work properly, if you have followed the steps accordingly. Please provide a link to your website, so we can inspect the issue.
You could use Visual composer on posts if it is absolutely necessary, though it is not recommended. The page builder should be used only on pages.
There is no guide for this that I could provide you, since it is not recommended officially.
Thanks
Please do not use both page builders at the same time. Tagdiv composer activates automatically in newspaper so if you do not plan on using it, disable it as both page builders at the same time will create problems with our theme.
Thanks
Hello,
The tagdiv composer as well as visual composer in our theme is meant to be used exclusively and only on pages not posts. The tagdiv composer does not have any at all setting that can allow it to work on posts. Posts are created using the tiny mce editor, not a page builder which is destined for pages.
You can create posts very very easy and stylish without any page builder. Using a page builder on posts is not recommended. Using 2 page builders at the same time is not recommended.
Please use this guide to create your posts without any page builder :

https://forum.tagdiv.com/post-formats-for-tinymce/
Thank you!
Hello Cosminc,
At the moment, the TD Composer is not compatible with Newsmag theme but in the near future will be released a new theme version and the TD Composer will be available with Newsmag. Notice that we do not recommend using untested plugins because all of these can break the theme, sorry! Notice that the Visual Composer is fully tested with the theme and should work as expected.
If you need more assistance in this case, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so I will be able to take a closer look at it and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
THank you for the numerous replies. Since I can’t delete a post I will continue on here and will not update the other posts.
I have a website which is comprised of a main page which is set up using the very impressive tagDiv composer.
The rest of the site is made up of blog style posts. How should I compose those posts?
Hello,
Unfortunately you are not using visual composer in the intended way. Please only use it like this guide suggests: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hi,
I have tried to replicate the layout you have and recreate the problem, but with no result. Stretching the row while using the block elements you are using does exactly what it should
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XPjjZqxs69v
– https://www.screencast.com/t/QCcpZorF
There are no problems with the thumbnails in that block on my end. A suggestion would be to disable all your plugins except the tagDiv composer, clear any caching installed and check to see if there still is a problem.
Thanks
Havine seen your two other replies I am now anticipating being told that I shouldn’t be using Visual Composer.
I would really appreciate a ‘How to – Create a blog post using tagDiv composer.
Many thanks,
Thanks for the reply.
I have watched a lot of the basic video tutorials on YouTube and they seem to be geared towards creating pages from posts and not for creating posts from scratch. Perhaps you could direct me to some really basic tutorials (really basic!) where I can see how to use the tagDiv composer on posts? It seems to be automatically enabled for pages which is fine as I have already used it on the homepage but most of the content are posts.
I am not sure why Visual Composer came with the Newspaper theme if I am not supposed to use it or if it doesn’t work? Just to be clear, I want to create the posts. Text, image, text, image etc. If that is something that tagDiv composer does then I am very happy to learn it.
Many thanks again.
Hi Catalin,
Well, I disabled most of them and tested: same thing… I have 2 plugins to run two very important services on the site and I cannot disable those, however, I have used them before just fine.
Is Tagdiv Composer availabe for Newsmag also?
Any troubleshooting ideas? Do I need to reinstall the theme or anything else?
Thanks so much!
Hello thebootguy,
Please ensure that you are using the latest theme version installed via FTP way because this is the surest method in this case. Also, check the system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Ensure that you are using only our tested plugins because if you are using some untested plugins, these might interact with the theme core files and causes some unknown issues. Try to remove all of them, clear all the caches and check the results. For more information about a correct using of our page builder, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
The solution was presented ion the other post. You use visual composer on posts. Please disable the tagdiv composer plugin.
Thanks.
Hello,
Maybe there are customizations in your child theme that affect the tagdiv composer, or your child theme is not created properly. Please use this guide to properly create a child theme and mind the customization you add:

Hello, I made a page with visual composer and in one row layout i put custom, 3/4 + 1/4, in the part 3/4 have a block 11 and in the mobile version it leave a blank space between the photo and the title.
Is it a bug? How i can solve it?
Hello,
As I see it, you use visual composer on posts. The image issue happens because you use visual composer on posts and now have updated the theme and have both plugins active. Please only use one page builder and not both at the same time. The tagdiv composer plugin activates automatically in newspaper 8 so please disable it if you do not want to use it.
Thank you!
