Hello dvdrdg2701,
Ensure that you Visual Composer are enabled because these are shortcodes generated by this plugin. Clear all your caches and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hello kalapapla,
I suggest you disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear the cache if you have one installed, then use this guide to regenerate your thumbnails
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
The theme creates the thumb sizes used on the blocks from the featured image you set for the post, maybe something is interfering with this process, try the regeneration tool and it should recreate the thumbs needed.
Thanks for your understanding!

But please note that Visual Composer will work correctly only on Pages, not for Post.
Hi,
This option was introduced in one of the previous updates
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Luh9C66C
To benefit from this feature you will need to update your theme. Here is a guide to help you through the update process – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Also be sure to update the plugins that are bundled with the theme package. This is a guide to update the Visual composer editor – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks
Hi,
To remove the social counter from your page, all you need to do is to open the page in the Visual composer editor, and simply remove it – https://www.screencast.com/t/Q5mD661aLu
Then follow the installation steps for the widget you want to to display on your page, instead of the social counter.
Thanks
Hi There!
I’ve been setting up my social channels on the newspaper theme but I was unable to find neither Twitch or Discord which are two platform I use quite often.
Since they’re starting to be more and more popular, would you consider adding them to the list?
(Both in the visual composer, sidebar and list in the theme panel. 🙂
Thank you for considering my suggestion!
Hello,
I can not see visual composer option on “New post” or “Edit post”.
How can I enable it?
Earlier it was available. But suddenly it gets disabled. After that I added tinyMCE plugin and now using it.
But I want to enable visual composer back again on posts pages.

Hello My Friend!
Good Morning
I’m having a little problem setting up my blog with a static page.
When I activate the blog page in the wordpress panel setup
http://www.screencast.com/t/UK8mot8Qq9
Then I can not activate any “grid” (slide etc) at the top of the page
http://www.screencast.com/t/LW4xgz8E
However if I deactivate the static page of the blog in the configuration of wordpress
http://www.screencast.com/t/vxjZAD5G
I can have the grid (slide) and the block … But I can not activate the siderbar in the static page of the blog.
http://www.screencast.com/t/1GmeAmq6D
I have tried to make a page with visual composer, but when I have the “grid” and the “sidebar”, inserted in the new page, I can not insert a new article display, because a preconfigured article display always appears.
http://www.screencast.com/t/zCRHXyezZmG
I have noticed that all settings are correct. What happens?
How to make Grid Block, article display, siderbar work together on a static page?
Thankyou!!!

Hi,
You can download the latest full theme package from themeforest and install the plugins from there
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
These plugins are bundled with the theme package, and also updates for them are provided along with the theme updates – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/
Thanks
Hello Seniordeal,
Now, I have inspected your website and your blocks seem to work as expected, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/tk0CNiKM63EU Most likely, your Visual Composer was disabled.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello VictoryPathways,
There are the shortcodes which come from your Visual Composer. You should activate it in order to bring best theme results from panel settings, plugins section.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello susanb,
I have inspected your website and I did not saw any problems with your website. It seems to work as expected. Please try to provide some useful screenshots so I can see the problem. Also, I saw that you are using some untested plugins which can interfere with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues. Try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/full-width-template-2/
Also: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/make-page-width-wider/#post-170071
Unfortunately the theme width cannot be changed in our theme as we built the theme on a fixed width and all elements depend on this fixed width. Sorry but we cannot provide any solution in changing the content width.
You can however create full width sections on pages using the visual composer stretch row option: https://www.screencast.com/t/6umF8z4xU9
And one more: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/site-is-thin-how-can-i-make-the-site-width-more/#post-168360
Hey guys,
In the wordpress dashboard -> “Newspaper” -> “plugins”, you should be allowed to download both visual composer and tagDiv social counter, but both the “install” buttons lead to a 403 error.
Is there any alternative way for me to download both plugins?
I need Visual composer to get things running asap.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi,
You can easily build the website using the features of Visual composer editor. The basic page building elements are Blocks and Big Grids. You can see how each of them looks here
Blocks – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Big Grids – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
More information about the Visual composer editor here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
There are also many post templates that you can choose from as well as category page customization. In the live demo you can see most of the features that the theme provides, under the Features menu
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
All the documentation for the theme options and settings is found here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
There would be no coding skills required to build the website. Also there are a multitude of demo styles that you can install and use or inspect live
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/demos_introduction/
Thanks
Hello GideonLupine,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues. Try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and check the results. Also, check your Block Settings and setup it according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
I wanna make about us page and insert Autor box of my writer . But i have big problem when i insert Autor box from visual composer i add everything corectly but when i write autor id in option nothing happend my author box is empty. And one more quick question when my writer sometimes add pictures in post or twitter code they dindt show .
The Visual Composer Slider Module or Element has suddenly broken. They were displaying posts from certain categories:
http://prntscr.com/f6oiw9
You can see the problem on our staging site:
http://clnnew.staging.wpengine.com/
http://prntscr.com/f6okib
http://prntscr.com/f6ola9
I removed three sliders from the production site:
https://cowboylifestylenetwork.com/
I would like to be able to use the Visual Composer Slider Element again.
What do I need to do to fix it?
Hello lrawareness,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files which might cause a lot of unknown issues. Try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and rule out any conflicting plugins. If the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way, clear all the caches and check the results. You should check our demo preview here -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/?s=wordpress and there you will see that our theme works as expected.
Thanks for your message!
Hello misolek,
1)Please keep in mind that you should activate the theme after you have installed on your website, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-6-how-to-activate-the-theme/
2)Most likely, you are referring to the message which appears on the plugins area when a new plugin version is released, right? This is mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The bundled version of the plugin does not have an activation code and you cannot update it automatically through WordPress.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
This might seem like a silly question, but how do I make the block Big Grid Full 3 display full width on screen? I’ve tried using the setting ‘Stretch row and content’ in visual composer. Is that the only way to do it?
I’ve already switched my category top post style (looks fantastic, great job!) and I wanted the same effect i.e. the same dimensions with no gaps at the side.
Thanks!
Hi,
Page loading speed can be affected by many factors. Plugins can have a negative impact on website speed as well. You could make a test and disable all your plugins except the ones provided in the theme package, clear the cache and check to see if the speed has increased.
This could be also related to the ajax requests that the complex Visual composer elements present on your page are making. You should try to reduce the number of requests, like block pagination, ajax filter etc. from each of the block settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ and see if this has any effect in this matter.
Thanks
Hi Simon,
Actually, I didn’t load any template, just editing “homepage-video” page:
Menu > Homepages > Homepage-Video
I just made suggested changes in Visual Composer and yes, background now has changed! But gap between menu and the first block still remains white:
Cheers,
David
