Hello,
Please do not use the tagdiv composer to edit pages created with visual composer as the layout will loose it;s formatting. We strongly do not recommend using both page builders on the same page. If you want to move over from visual composer to the tagdiv composer you will have to recreate the pages as mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thank you!
Hello Valadim,
Notice that the pages which were created with Visual Composer cannot be edited with TD Composer and vice versa, sorry! You should choose a single page builder between these because the theme will not work as expected if the both builders are enabled, sorry! For more information about TD Composer and the transitions between these builders, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
P.S If you do not like our page builder, you can use the VC Composer. Do not worry but notice that in the future we will release some features which will be exclusively for TD Composer and if you are using the VC, all of these will not work.
Thanks for your understanding!
and last question ….
If I dont have to recreate them, do I still need to have Visual Composer installed ? As I mentioned above I removed it.
Thanks,
Let me give you more details…
As per instructions I activated the Visual Composer and tagDiv Composer plugins. Once done I recreated my Homepage. I then proceeded to deactivate and remove the Visual Composer plugin.
I have other static pages, one example would be: Contact Us page. I did not recreate this type of static pages on our website. Do I need to recreate them ?
They all seem to be working fine …
Please advise.
Hello,
No this is not right, the tagdiv composer should work like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hi,
I don’t understand why you would like the previous version. There is nothing different in this matter between the theme versions. The example provided above is perfectly achievable in both the theme versions, using Visual composer or the front-end tagDiv composer as well.
However, it would be best if you would create your pages with the new composer, in future theme updates more options will be available just for this editor.
Please try the steps as described and you will achieve the same result easily. It is not hard to use the tagDiv composer, once you get used to it.
If you could tell me what exactly does not work, I will try and help you.
Thanks
Hi there,
I created a new page and open the tagdiv composer.
When dragging an element to the empty column it loads endlessly. Nothing happens.
Please help – I really like to use it for the next version of our magazine.

Hello,
If you have problems with the tagdiv composer please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will look into it.
We are aware of an issue for the moment with the composer and that is caused by this setting of seo yoast: https://www.screencast.com/t/n8Cc35EofLh
The option is known to cause problems with the tagdiv composer.
If you have trouble using the builder please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ and this one: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
And we are not forcing anyone to use it though. You can still use visual composer if you feel the new page builder is not for you. We will still provide visual composer as well as updates for it, so it can still be used. We will not release new content for visual composer but that does not mean it will not work anymore.
As for the revolution slider, I’m not sure why you say it will not work as it works as expected for us and is present among the page builder elements: https://www.screencast.com/t/sFZ5yFhE
Other plugins that do not have a predefined elements can be added to the page using the shortcode implementation.
Thank you!
Hello,
Sorry but our theme grid does not allow the use of such a layout. Visual composer was always intended to work like so with our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Only the 3 columns layouts worked properly. Other column layouts were not tested and never worked properly with our theme but we could not remove them from visual composer as we were not allowed to edit the plugin features. In our own tagDiv composer we only provide the column layouts that were tested to work properly.
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no option in the theme for this, and modifications to the theme files may not work properly in future updates. Something similar is the Related articles section that is displayed after the posts
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/related-articles/
If you plan on updating to version 8 and tagDiv composer, this editor is not available for posts. Maybe you can find a plugin that might have the capability to insert that section in the post content.
Thanks
Hi,
If you have previously created sidebars containing widgets, you can use a Widget sidebar element on the page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/iZJmS7RJ
Or you can simply split the row and add content to the sidebar area
– https://www.screencast.com/t/OV8gwtjJ
At the moment there is no search element that you can place on the pages. More elements will be added to the tagDiv composer in future updates, but I could not say for sure when this will be available.
Thanks
The following message is displayed on the dashboard.

Should I ignore to it.
Visual Composer can be used without problems.
Hi,
Please try and deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin, clear any caching installed and see if the pages are displaying properly. The new composer is activated by default

Thanks
Hi,
@ReyhanAF The option mentioned from Yoast Seo has been identified to cause issue with the tagDiv composer. You should keep that option deactivated (No redirect) as shown in the screenshot to prevent these issues from occurring in some cases.
Thanks
Hi,
Please try and deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin if your page is created in Visual composer, then check if the page is displaying properly. However if you should decide to recreate the page using the new composer here is more information

Thanks
Hi,
You need to create a homepage using the tagDiv composer and set it as a static homepage
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
You can choose form the available page building elements and create the pages you want. Here you can find more information about using the front-end composer and all the available block settings

Thanks
Hi Bogdan,
Thank you for the reply!
OK, I understand and I’ll move all my pages fro JS to TD composer, but once I moved over the TD, can I only keep the TD Composer and get rid of the JS?
Thank you again
Hello,
For the moment we will still provide visual composer free of charge and we do not plan to remove it in the near future, but as the theme moves forward and we develop our own page builder more and more and users will move over to the new page builder as we will not develop anything for visual composer any further, we will probably remove VC in the future but not the near future though. It is hard to say if we will remove VC at all or not from the theme package as it depends on our user base and how many users will still use the visual composer page builder. For the moment we will keep both builders available. We recommend slowly moving over to the tagdiv composer. You can do it over a big time span as the visual composer will still be available many months to come. You can make the move over several months as you can develop pages published privately and only make them visible to the public once they are completed. You can take your time to create the pages.
Thank you!
Hello iisnet,
First of all, I will thank you for your interests in our theme but please notice that TD Composer is available only for Newspaper theme and not only for Newsmag, at the moment, sorry! We hope that in the future to implement the TD Composer in Newsmag, but we cannot say for sure when exactly this will happen, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Per your earlier advice which read:
“This should be addressed to http://openweathermap.org/.
We are a theme developer not a weather station. We only pull information from that site into our theme, but we have no control over the weather predictions.”
—
Even though I do not care about forecasted predictions as much as the current temperature, I did as you advised, contacted them, and received this response:
“Thanks a lot for such detailed information. However, we do not develop weather widgets for WordPress. We just provide data for it.
I think it would be better to ask for support its developer. So if there is issues with the data we will contact with the Developer and resolve the issue.”
—
That response from OpenWeatherMap.org makes perfect sense and made me feel a little silly for contacting them. I clearly need information from/about the developer. Which brings me back to the developer of the theme that chose to include this weather element/widget in its theme package (Newspaper 7).
Can you tell me who the developer is for this Weather element? It is in the section of tagDiv elements (blue-shaded) in Visual Composer. If I need to talk to its developer to figure out why it is not updating often enough and why our temperatures are reading up to 15 degrees F off based on infrequent updating of up to a few hours, how can I contact them? It is just too slow to display new temp data and is therefore never accurate (or even close). Here are some new facts learned on my end:
The temp at OpenWeatherMap DOES NOT MATCH my temp in the following way: The temperature is either hotter or colder based on the time of day. It reads much cooler when the temp is climbing early in the day and it reads much warmer the other half of the time when temps are falling. The reason appears simple. It has simply not updated to the latest temp at any given point in time except when it does so at VERY lengthy intervals ranging up to 3 hours or more.
Further:
At any point, if I click on the GPS icon and do nothing more than type in my city (exactly the way it was typed already) and hit ENTER on my keyboard … the temperature automatically adjusts itself to the accurate current temp. But if I refresh the page, it immediately changes back to the inaccurate temp.
Can you help me with the details about the developer of the weather element that I’ve requested? Are you the developer, do you know who the dev is? Why would you tell me to contact the data provider rather than get in touch with the developer. Do you agree with what the data provider said in his response?
We are still trying to salvage this otherwise elegant widget/element on a new site. It is clearly capable of displaying the correct temperature, but can only do so once every few hours when it “phones home” to get the data, instead of every few minutes. In the meantime, our temp looks non-credible.
Firebox is behaving exactly the same as Chrome and displaying disparate temperatures at the same lag. The manual GPS entry method mentioned above results in the exact same thing in Firefox as Chrome.
Thanks for your help.
I don’t use VC for much the same reason. However, you might try their new TD Composer …. muuuuuch better and can be used to setup custom blocks/areas on home page, which is what I use it for. Documentation > Newspaper > install theme ?
Good day all,
I have a quick question. I have recreated my Homepage with tagDiv Composer as the instructions indicate. However, do I need to recreate all my static pages ?
Thanks…
Hi I updated two of my four websites to Newspaper 8 and all the areas in the site that use js-composer are broken. What can I do quickly so I don’t have to remake all my sites!!! For example look at http://gf-verified.com/. Under the slider was an image box with 4 equal boxes of images and text. They are all huge now. PLEASE HELP!!!
Just updated to 3.4 and was reading about TD Composer but can’t find it? its not in the download plugins directory so how to get it/install it?
Hi, I’m using last version of newspaper 8 and latest version of visual composer. I noticed that box “text with title” doesn’t work correctly. It doesn’t respect formatting: if I start a new line or paragraph at the end of a sentence, it continues in the same line or paragraph. You can look this only in preview or published page
