Hi,
I just purchased the Newspaper 7 theme and I love it. It really is on of the best theme out there. I just have 2 questions:
1. I am still testing the theme on a staging environment on my hosting platform. When I decide what exactly I would like to do with the theme, I will delete the staging version and start over again with the official building of my site and put it life. My question is should I activate the theme while I am testing it? Can I activate it again when I do the official redesign of the site ?
2. The Visual Composer plugin asks me to activated it. Should I do that while testing or should I do that on the final version ?
Thank you,
Miso
Hi,
Maybe this is just a misunderstanding. I am assuming that you are using the demo Video page template form Visual composer – https://www.screencast.com/t/doU04d0vF
If that is the case, the page will look normally, no demo style will be loaded. To achieve the same look, you need to install the demo, or style the elements yourself similarly to the demo style. For example a background can be set for the Big Grid like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/DCTgRaar6aCa
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XSVcYYpe6Xbb
Installing the demo will provide the homepage and the custom styling, as well as it’s own settings in the theme panel.
Please correct me if I misunderstand.
Thanks
Hello vleydan,
First of all, ensure that you are using the latest theme version and then, if you are using some untested plugins, 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. I have tried to check your website but it seems to be in maintenance mode. If the problem is still there, you should try making a new clean from scratch and use only the bundled plugins and rule out any conflicts.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello MasterDrake,
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 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. By the way, do you are using the Background click Ads at your website?
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
The mega menu is present in version 6.7 as well. However we have seen plugins cause the mega menu option to not show up anymore. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, claar cache and purge cdn files. Then check the menus section. You should see this option available: https://www.screencast.com/t/sp4cpcGq5H
Thank you!
Hello ouropretooficial,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you still using some untested plugins, such as Autoptimize plugin, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/3i5BYnSt If you want to bring best results with our theme you should disable all of your untested plugins, 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. Do you have tried this thing? If the problem is still there, you should make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install the theme only with bundled plugins and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The news ticker can be added to a page like any other visual composer element. You can edit a page in visual composer and add it through the add element button: https://www.screencast.com/t/LR7mtNceU
Thanks.
Hi,
You need to edit the header template style that you are using, not the theme main header file
– https://www.screencast.com/t/izGVKF0NX
If you want to use a single image element from Visual composer you can use it like this, with a do_shortcode
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Ynj7zAgzrvE
– https://www.screencast.com/t/lmq3o1130d22
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Wgazx9Kp
– https://www.screencast.com/t/KXJJSwdfy0c
You can use a code like this, just enter your shortcode as shown in the screenshots
<?php echo do_shortcode ('your shortcode here'); ?>
Thanks
Hello SW1988,
Please keep in mind that the Visual Composer is a built-in plugin with our theme and the VC Template Library is an add-on of this plugin which is not tested with our product, sorry! The VC come bundled with the theme core files and it must not be activated or buy any license.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please make sure you are entering the video id’s properly. They must be entered like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Rv98BgLI5Q2M
More information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-2/
Then save and update the page, the playlist should display the valid videos. Also clear any caching installed, maybe the page is not refreshing because of a cache you might have.
If you already tried it like this and the video does not appear in the playlist, please check the theme system status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned according to this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Or maybe there is a plugin conflict that could be preventing the playlist from working properly. You could also try as a test to disable them all except Visual composer, clear the cache if you have one. Then check to see if it is working as intended.
Thanks
Hi,
It seems that a theme class that is required to load is not working properly. Please try as a test to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear your cache then check to see if the problem is still present. Usually plugins are to blame regarding image problems. Let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi there,
I want to use the Visual Composer Template Library, but I can’t download any templates as it asks for to register the plugin.
I read on the page : https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ :
The theme includes a license for this plugin so you don’t have to buy it.
You don’t have to activate the plugin license, it’s already activated.
How can I use these features when it says it’s not activated, while it should be activated ?
Hello,
You will have to edit the page in the visual composer page builder and change the settings for each block in particular. Those are block titles set on each block manually. They have to be changed from each block’s settings. This guide should help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
The same as the revolution slider reply applies here as well. We are not the plugin developers. We cannot make visual composer compatible with anything since we are not the plugin author.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, 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,
The picture you mention is a header ad. If you want to display the ad below the header, please select a header style that does that automatically. Like Header style 7 for example that looks like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1opezFNGf
If this has nothing to do with the ad and you want to insert a picture below the header, you could just simply use a single image element from Visual composer and add it on the top of your page
– https://www.screencast.com/t/8o5pfk7aFt7
Then select the image you want and the settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Qo4LRpNgafba
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XhN5TJOi4wgi
This works only for pages, if you want an image to appear everywhere on the website you must edit the header style template file that you are using. For example something as simple as this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/rjapLpBR
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VkruwjNptLTl
The image will appear on every page of your website.
Thanks
Hi,
I do not know exactly what needs to be done to achieve something like that. The Visual composer plugin is very complex, and no solution was provided before for this. Also the theme does not have an option to support this implementation. It would be best to try and use the default options for the blocks, because they already have settings to help you sort and filter the content that is displayed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
You just need to enter one or more post or page Id’s and the block will display them only, until you change the entered data or remove this condition. This is useful when you want to display particular posts in a block or big grid, always.
Thanks
Hello,
It seems you are using a media grid element of visual composer that does not seem to provide any results. Please test this on a wp default theme as well and see if the element works on twentysixteen for example.
Thanks.
PHP Compatibility Checker gave the following issues for PHP 7 for WPBakery Visual Composer. Can these be forwarded to their team.

Hi,
If you would like to move the title on that block module, you need to edit the module file. There is no option by default to make a modification like that. Each module is predefined and has it’s own style. The file you must edit is this – https://www.screencast.com/t/8ciOaazxZ01H
There you have to move the line of code responsible for the title like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dCArpZi8
– https://www.screencast.com/t/SqXZ3RVxK1t
With a result like this
– https://www.screencast.com/t/32z1mgdrEXIi
If you would like to achieve a full width layout, you can use the full grids available. You can see these here
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2vgYoZAIX
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/grid-full-10/
Also when creating a page with Visual composer it is required to use only this layout
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Other layout settings for the rows may not work properly, the elements should be used on the recommended column settings.
Thanks
Hello,
Please check the screen options and make sure all the options are enabled: https://www.screencast.com/t/HFTWlvVId
If everything is enabled in the screen options, then please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hello,
If you do not use visual composer, then you can disable it without a doubt.
There is no problem in disabling it if you do not use visual composer on pages.
Thank you!
Hi,
Maybe you are not configuring the shop page properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/dW3HjnekZ
This way the shop page should display all your products on the shop page. Here is a link to the Woocommerce plugin official documentation guide for setup and installation
– https://docs.woocommerce.com/
You can also use elements from Woocommerce in the Visual composer editor for pages
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tZqrtIPjSZ
Thanks
Hello,
I could not see the issue as I have been testing with my android phone and the issue only seems to be affecting iphones. However, the same issue does not happen on our demo so it is not a theme bug. This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, 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!
