Hi guys!
I have already my website (in portuguese) and now I want to translate it to other languages but I want to have different menus on each language. I’m using wpglobus (because it’s compatible with visual composer).
I found this on the documentation of polylang (another translation plugin):
Preamble
Your theme must support custom navigation menus for the following to work (for programmers, it means that the theme must call ‘register_nav_menu’) and must use a theme location in the function ‘wp_nav_menu’, i.e.
wp_nav_menu(array(‘theme_location’ => ‘primary’)); is OK
wp_nav_menu(array(‘menu’ => ‘nav menu’)); is not OK
One menu per language
In Appearance->menus, you have to create one menu per language. Let’s say ‘menu_en’ and ‘menu_fr’, if you have a site in English and French.
In ‘menu_en’, you add English pages other menu items. In ‘menu_fr’, you add French pages and other menu items.
Then, once menus are both saved, you click on ‘manage locations’ tab and you assign ‘menu_en’ to ‘Primary menu English’ and ‘menu_ru’ to ‘Primary menu Français’.
It’s possible to do this with newsmag theme? If not, can you give a solution? And wich translation plugin you recommend?
Thank You!
Fernando
Hey there,
Thank you for the prompt response, my current situation as of now,
Pages: Working fine
Posts: I have tried several methods around Visual Composer settings, however, the Visual Tab still seems to be missing. Leaving only the view of text/html for editing.
For better clarification, please refer to images below:
Image 1 (Visual Tab missing): https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ai3uwVtbSehutoUkJg-Z4E4ZRBgtOA
Image 2 (Visual Tab is present): https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ai3uwVtbSehutoUlonLiegRsjRWpew
Yes we just released an update including the latest one from VC but I;m not sure they made any implementation regarding the post grid. It is a security fix as the changelog suggests: https://www.screencast.com/t/bktyUbPZ6O
You can try to use our own blocks and grids in order to have better control over the content. Our page builder still has the same shortcodes and the same sorting options and filters only it’s moved to the front-end.
The custom page builder is included in our side-project named ionmag and can be downloaded from here: https://www.wpion.com/free-news-theme/ then you can install the page builder from the free theme. However we do not recommend using both visual composer and our own page builder for the moment. It is still experimental on neswpaper and newsmag.
Thank you!
Hi,
From what I understand you are not seeing any of your created sidebars in the widgets section
– https://www.screencast.com/t/GMjQc8mSFg7N
And missing most or the available widgets
– https://www.screencast.com/t/FpZNOlCAxMru
Maybe a plugin could be causing this weird issue, you can try to disable all of them except Visual composer, clear any caching installed then check to see if the problem is still there. Also check any customization that might have been made to the theme files directly, or through a child theme. Try to think when was the first time this has happened and possibly identify the cause. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi,
Everything is working properly on my end, and if you are using the respective block on a full row it should display as intended as well. Maybe you have set custom class to that row, or you have some custom code affecting this. Also you should try as a test to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed then create a new test page and add this block on a full row, to see if it displays as it is meant to. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi,
Please check the settings in the Visual composer plugin
– https://www.screencast.com/t/YZ9cbH8Y – https://www.screencast.com/t/k0RJjssLuvY5
maybe this is an access issue if no block settings are available. If everything is in order and reinstalling the plugin does not fix this, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com so we can take a look. Also paste a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thanks
Hello nothereatm,
-This image which you gave above is used for logo section and there you cannot add featured post slider. If you want to have a slider, you simply use the Visual Composer and add from there. Read all our documentation and there you will find what you can do or not with our theme elements. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
-You should use a simple block sorted by your latest posts and inside this, you should add your recipes.
-Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such an option that allows your to show newsletter. If you want to do this, you should use a plugin with this functionality.
If you need more additional customization, notice that we cannot provide something like that and please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you in this case.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
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.
The memory allocation should be like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know if you still have trouble with this.
Thank you!
Hello,
The results should be consistent on each browser. Please also test our official demo in your browsers: https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ and see if the menus change. If they don’t, 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!
Hi,
You can make modifications to the page structure and additional customization, by opening your page in the Visual composer editor. Here you can find all the information about the block settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks
Hi,
Please check if you have Visual composer enabled for posts – https://www.screencast.com/t/gQaZIupR in the settings.
Thanks
I have the newspaper theme installed with Visual Composer and when I go to set up the sidebars to assign in the site there are no sidebar options in the widgets page. I see some of the basic wordpress widgets to drag and drop, but there are no sidebar set up options. Wondering if this could be a conflict with one of the plugins?
Is there a known conflict with any plugins regarding this?
Right now I can not set any sidebars up.
e.g.,
[ Version 7.8.1 ]
– improvement: we updated Visual Composer to the latest version.
– improvement: tagDiv Social Counter was updated to the latest version, this fixes the issue with Facebook
[ Version 7.8 ]
– new: Huge improvement with the spacing of elements and the grid. We compleatly rewrote the grid system to allow easier full width rows and headers. Expect more full width options soon 🙂
– new: clear cache debug button for video playlists
– new: speed booster plugin version. Please update it if you use it.
– new: pinterest block and widget. Show your pinterest boards in style with this new block. Please note that this block is in testing phase.
– new: the main menu of the theme was redesigned from scratch
– new: Added a lot of options for colors on menu
– header and footer full width support
– improvement: better plugin descriptions and help text
– improvement: all big grids now show a nice error message when they don’t fit in the layout of the site. (when used on one column or two)
– fix: added various missing translations to the translation panel
– fix: some block templates where not able to change color on firefox due to a scoped style
– fix: we removed the offset from ajax requests, this provides a better user experience with the theme and the filters
– fix: the global modal window now ignores pictures with external links. Before this update, the modal windows was trying to open the external link
– fix: the jetpack sorting method on blocks now works as expected again
– fix: block header 17 on social counter now works as expected
– fix: instagram images aligment issues
– fix: post template 1 featured image sizing bug
– fix: all embeds that overflow content on small screens are now fixed
– fix: repaint in Chrome browser on blocks that use Load More
– fix: mobile theme now works with revolution slider as expected
See the theme docs and ‘tutorials’ section for tips on how to optimize your site for final deploy.
Any theme with complex CSS pre-builds, Visual Composer, and multiple options, will be “heavier” than a simple blog theme. Normally you determine your design choices, then optimize.

Hello,
The theme offers 404 template settings here: https://www.screencast.com/t/cghzpYkXL4X
but you cannot edit the page like you would a standard page in visual composer. In order to add elements to the 404 page you will have to edit the theme files. Here is the file containing the markup for the 404 page: https://www.screencast.com/t/n1zMixGp
Thank you!
Hello,
You can ignore the activation message as it will show up from time to time. The free version cannot be activated. Only payed versions have an activation code. This is described here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=524337
Thank you!
Hello,
I have tested the custom menu but it works fine on our end. Please make sure you clear all caching on your site and contact your host and have them disable any hosting side cache they might have in place.
Plugins can also interfere 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!
Hi,
If the system status is not the cause, try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed then check to see if the problem is still there. If st still is please deactivate and delete the Visual composer plugin and install it again, maybe something went wrong during the upload or installation process

Please let us know how it goes.

Hello,
Yes indeed it seems the data source is being ignored but it also does this on a WP default theme. It is a visual composer element, not a theme element. It seems the data source is not working properly. We will have to wait for an update from the plugin developer for a fix.
Thank you!
Hey there,
I have updated my Visual Composer plugin recently and it seems after the update, only the Visual Composer view tab for Posts seems to be missing. Visual Composer view tab for Pages seems to be working fine. Thus I am unable to edit information efficiently. Do advice me on this.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
Please make sure you are setting the block in Visual composer like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/ivfgTpSQC on a full row. Then you should have a result like here – https://www.screencast.com/t/UL6kmfv9ps
Thanks
Hi,
@sunnysider Please try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, check or remove any custom code you might have entered in Theme panel or added to the theme files and clear any caching installed. Then see if the problem is solved. I have not seen this problem before, or had any success trying to replicate it, so most likely it is caused by a plugin or theme customization.
@jkellerer Any block or other visual composer element that allows sorting will display the posts according to the option set in the element settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ So a block set to Latest, will always display the latest posts. In your case I see that you are not using the page building elements available by default in Visual composer. Maybe you have a cache that affects the filtering process. It is recommended to use this caching plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/ with the mentioned settings.
Thanks
Hello Team,
I recently bought your theme and activated the visual composer in my development domain.But after i shifted the project in new domain it asks to activate the visual composer again. How can i activate it in my new domain?
Hi,
Please note that the Visual composer that is bundled with the theme does not feature access to the template library. The library is not part of the license agreement for the Visual composer version that is provided bundled with the theme, and I believe that it is available only if you buy and activate the plugin directly. You can use the predefined templates, or create your own pages and save the template using the available elements.
Thanks
