Hello,
I checked your site but I see captions on your images like so: https://www.screencast.com/t/uZkLxTNX
Do certain images get a caption and certain ones don’t? Usually a problem affects all images not just particular ones.
If this is the case, 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!
Hello,
Sorry but the latest version of visual composer is not yet available. We will include it in the next theme update. When the update is released, please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hello,
Please try to switch to a wp default theme and see if the spaces come from the theme or not. I can say for sure the theme does not add any spaces or remove spaces on your content. Plugins can do this though so it could be a plugin conflict. If on a WP default theme the spaces are ok, then 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!

Hello there,
Is there any way to update Visual Composer without updating everything? Just because I have a couple of customizations in my theme.
Please enlighten me.
Thanks in advance.
Best,

Hi
I just installed newpaper theme with content. I liked the way it was already setup however I don’t have all the content right now and planned to add more content as time permits. I would like to disable (NOT delete) some of the blocks on Default front page. Idea is right now I will disable many of the blocks from front page and slowly add those as I add more content so I don’t need to start from scratch.
Any idea how to do this?
How come I can not upgrade to the latest version of Visual Composer? It was not included in the template?
My site is http://www.portale80035.it
I updated to VC 5.1 via the Newspaper update that was just released. I did so via FTP; I renamed the old folder js_composer-old, uploaded the new one, deleted the old one, and cleared the cache.
A few things appear to be broken on my site related to VC now, such as this page: https://themedium.ca/archive/
Those are VC TTA tabs. On the backend it looks and works perfectly fine, but on the front end the styling appears to have changed, breaking the tab structure. I’ve disabled all minification and file concatenation while investigating.
I don’t get any console errors on that page in Chrome or Edge. (There’s a deprecated warning in Firefox’s dev tools but nothing serious.)
Hi Team tagDiv,
I am running Newspaper 7.7.1 and Visual Composer 5.1 on website http://www.thecarexpert.co.uk.
When I try to run PHP 7 on my site, I get the following message at the top of the post (post still displays underneath):
Warning: Declaration of td_module_single_base::get_image($thumbType) should be compatible with td_module::get_image($thumbType, $css_image = false) in /home/thecarex/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/includes/wp_booster/td_module_single_base.php on line 911
When I look up line 911 in the file named, it is the very last line and only contains a single }
When I switch back to PHP 5.6, message goes away.
Can you offer any suggestions where I should look to try and fix this?
Many thanks,
stuart
Hi,
We are sorry that you feel that way about the theme. Every user is entitled to his own opinion, we try our best to solve all the issues, if possible.
1. These are the plugins that are recommended to be used along with the theme, and periodically tested to work properly – https://www.screencast.com/t/zEaZ8Amv As it can be seen the WordPress SEO by Yoast is on that list so it is fully compatible. Here you can find a guide to help you configure it – https://yoast.com/wordpress-seo/ if you are having problems.
Also the theme has only one stylesheet by default and I believe that you are using a plugin for optimization, that could be causing these results.
2. These are all the blocks available in Visual composer as it can be seen in the demo – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ also the big grids – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ and we are sorry that you can not find one to suit your purposes.
3. Unfortunately at the present time you will just have to ignore the activation message from Visual composer, a solution may be provided within a future update regarding this.
Please consider that the Newspaper theme is and always was in a continuous improvement process, and the developer team is always looking to satisfy our customers with optimizations in every possible field. If you are not happy with your purchase, you can always request a refund and we will approve it.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
Please make sure the host meets these minimum requirements as specified here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and also make sure you modified the required parameters in your wordpress install as suggested above. Also disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear the cache and purge cdn files, then check to see if you have any more errors. If all the conditions are met, everything should work properly regarding the theme. Here is a guide to help you configure cloudflare if you want to read – https://forum.tagdiv.com/cloudflare-cdn/
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
This is most likely caused by a plugin or customization to the theme, causing issues with the transitioning opacity set on the images, which fails to load properly. As suggested above, try to disable all the plugins except Visual composer and clear the cache to see if the problem persists. A quick fix that might work for you, would be to try and disable the lazy load feature in theme panel – https://www.screencast.com/t/cyYcMGRuR
Also if you should consider updating the theme to the latest version, as well as the bundled plugins, here is a guide to help you through the update process – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Hello mdgstudio,
I suppose that you have a js error which is caused by your 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 packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. Clear all your caches and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Everything seems to be in order, and if you have no issues in utilizing the Visual composer editor in your pages, then it is working properly. What I meant was about the Update notice that you mentioned in your previous reply and if you have any problems with the editor, in which case please let us know if this is preventing the functionality of Visual composer or you are experiencing any problems.
Thanks
Dear Support,
This theme is absolutely useless for the garbage.
1. Not tested with SEO Tool
Your webpage is using 46 inline CSS styles!
Optimize CSS Delivery /Newspaper/style.css?ver=7.7.1 / demos/black/demo_style.css?ver=7.7.1 …..
a lot of unnecessary code #bbpress-forums li.bbp-header ……
<!–
Theme: Newspaper by tagDiv 2016
Version: 7.7.1 (rara)
Deploy mode: deploy
uid: 58c7e1411afc3
–>
….
2. No useful Blocks with text only / for example
Block16 (Titel + Text – no image)
Block21 (Titel + Text – no image)
M6 (Titel + Text – no image)
M16 (Titel + Text – no image)
It is only colorful but the essential is the text….
3. Always the hint at dashboard, to register the WPBakery Visual Composer module.
Google, Bing etc. offer these tools, because without clean code these search engines do not index the pages and this is essential.
This theme can only be rated with a star, only colorful but without the most important points.
Hi,
This could also be caused by the hosting server you are using, if it does not meet even the minimum theme requirements as specified here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ Try to contact your host and see if this is the case, and ask them to make the needed modifications. These errors could also be seen in the server error log.
We are aware that the Visual composer editor is getting bigger with each update, and becoming heavy in resource usage. But if the server meets these requirements, and a clean install is made, using only the plugins provided with the theme, everything should work properly. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi,
1. In order to make the next/prev posts from the single post page display only posts in the same category, you would have to modify the theme code, because there is no option available for this at the moment. Here is where the code is defined – https://www.screencast.com/t/JyuBk2lop if you have the proper coding skills to make the modifications. But please note that this could prove to be a difficult task, so I suggest hiring a developer/freelancer to help you achieve this, because we can not provide custom work at the moment, sorry.
2. The popular category block should order the categories by post count, with the most popular displayed first. Check to see if there have been any modifications to the file responsible with the sorting – https://www.screencast.com/t/yxBHg20P5 This could also be caused by a child theme used, or by a plugin. If you can try to deactivate the child theme and all the plugins except Visual composer, then clear the cache and see if the problem is still there.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
You can use the slider element from Visual composer for your page – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ios-slider/ Here you can see what image sizes this element is using – https://www.screencast.com/t/iRJ2o7q3Fs or you could use a Big grid slide – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/
Please note that it would not be an easy task to modify the slider to a custom size, and it would require taking into account multiple changes to the elements and classes that are used.
Another option would be to use the Revolution slider provided with the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/ Here is a link to the official documentation – https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-revolution-documentation/
Thanks
Hi,
That message is simply an indication about how to add a sidebar on your page, using the widgetised sidebar element. If you choose a latest articles template the sidebar settings will be available for that section. More about the available page templates here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
Regarding the update notice, that could appear if you had an old Visual composer version before the update. Please provide a screenshot if possible of the notice and where it is occurring.
Thanks
Try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files (if you use them).
Try reload Featured image for some articles (as an example) and check it one more time.
Hello wow_themes,
I have tested your facebook Id on my website and everything seems to work as expected, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/phrD4VIM Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and also, the latest version of required plugins which come bundled with the theme core packet. Also, if you are using some untested plugins, leave just Visual Composer, Social Counter to active, clear all your caches and install only tested plugins and rule out any conflicts.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
The question was: is the last version of Visual Composer already included in the last update of Newspaper, or not?
Thank you.
Hi,
You can use this guide to help you with the Visual composer plugin update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ The developers try their best to provide the latest plugin updates when available, as soon as possible.
Thanks
Hello campagnuolo,
I have tested on my side with an Adsense code in Firefox and it seems to work as expected, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/i9GAljaqBF Please ensure that you are using the latest version of theme, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your untested plugins if you are using something like this, clear all your caches and check the results.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Unfortunately that feature is not available in the version of Visual composer that comes bundled with the theme. You can always preview your website using the browser inspector tool responsive options – https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/ like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/SIjUYeiaNKt or you could search for a plugin if you want to have this option.
Thanks
