Hi Bogdan,
We reinstalled the latest version of the theme according to instructions, deactivated all plugins (even with visual composer activated and then deactivated), and cleared cache.
We still have the same problem, we are missing #2 and #3 in the ‘article inline ad’ section.
Please let us know how to get this working as it is important for our site.
Thanks
Hello,
It could be the auto optimize plugin or other third party plugins used. 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!
We only got the logos problem in the mobile theme plugin. If the plugin is deactivated the logos show properly as the screenshots I provided above show. You might have something else affecting your theme that is preventing facebook’s browser from grabbing the correct information. Try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test again.
Thanks
Hi Bogdan,
I’m scratching my head a little now with Speed Booster.
I understand that I have additional Plug Ins and what I need to do to add these to the compatibility list (as explained here https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ )
However, when I look at the code in the Plug In I see this…
if ($this->is_ie === false) {
// move style.css theme style
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘js_composer_front’);
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘td-theme’); //this is the main style of the theme. It’s only moved on Newspaper 6!
$this->move_style_to_footer_queue(‘td-theme-woo’); //this is the main style of the theme. It’s only moved on Newspaper 6!
}
So what about NewsPaper 7?
I’m really confused!
The only plug ins I am using are;
Ninja Forms
Word fence
Toast
The website is http://www.expectationsholidays.co.uk
Any ideas?
Thanks 🙂
Hello,
Do you have newspaper version 4 at the moment? That is version 4 not version 7.4 or 6.4
That script is only indended for users that have the very old version of our theme from years ago.
As for visual composer, you can download the latest version of the theme from envato and it will contain visual composer 5. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately if these tabs is what you want to achieve then you will have to use visual composer on posts and add the tab each time you create the post as there is no way of changing it if you add it in a post template. Simply activate visual composer on posts and place the tab element in the post content. The post data will always be stored in the database of WP
Thank you!
Hello hussainjw,
Please ignore the activation message. Notice that the Visual Composer come bundled with the theme packet and no longer required activation. Read this guide where this is specified: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
I have inspected your website and I saw that your menu button works fine on iPhone 5S.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Sorry marshalleq but our theme does not have any shortcode migration as there are lots of different shortcodes from all the custom page builders out there and it is very hard to identify which one is which. All of the elements are custom made and in some cases there are no alternatives to some custom elements.
Visual composer is not tested on posts in our theme. It works if you activate it but you could get mixed results so be careful when using it. Our theme already provides 14 post templates to choose from. If you want a custom one you can add it through coding so you do not have to add the visual composer elements on each post in particular. https://forum.tagdiv.com/api-single-template-introduction/
Thanks.
Hi,
The demos are available so you can see the possibilities of what you can create using the theme. Uninstalling the demo will remove everything belonging to it, the content included and all it’s settings.
If you install a demo without content it adds only the settings. Then you could choose a page template in Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/QkeamCr8gE1 and easily create a page with predefined layout, or create your own pages and add your content. You just have to experiment until you create something you like.
Thanks
Hello newsmaguser,
If you want to replicate the Scandal Magazine homepage, you should add the following code at your Visual Composer editor. -> http://screencast.com/t/7zPPuzHelFSi -> http://pastebin.com/XmEJ6p0S The code can be added here -> http://screencast.com/t/WUcFOxnZL
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what exactly you want to achieve so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
1) There is quite a distinct difference between block 5 and block 15. I;m not sure what you mean. You use block 5 there not 15. Here is how the 2 blocks display:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-5/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-15/
2)That is a category archive, not a page. It shows all of the posts in that category in the module you select from the per category settings in the theme panel.
3)Again, it;s a category and there are no blocks on category pages. Please try to learn the wordpress functionality as a page is not = to a category. You cannot edit categories in visual composer. categories are handled differently: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
If you are not sure if a page is a standard page or a category or a post simply hit right click and hit inspect in your browser. and you will see the class on the body like so: http://screencast.com/t/rJ4nBexhu and the category: http://screencast.com/t/LwXbe6aC9
Thank you!
>>Update from Newspaper 4:
To update from version 4 please run this update script. Note: please backup your site before updating!
i) Could you please us the steps to update it?
ii) Also, WPBakery Visual Composer wants me to update to Version 5.0
Please help me out in these requests…
Hi, I’ve got a bit of a mission on my hands in that I need to remove all my shortcodes, contained in my posts because this theme doesn’t have a migration mechanism. Not that I was expecting that, but I have found some themes do.
Anyway, I really want tabs in my posts and have ended up doing a mockup of a page using visual composer here: http://dev.tech-knowhow.com/2017/01/set-roon-audio-bridge-picoreplayer-raspberry-pi-hifiberry-dac-pro/#1483657727692-588765df-8139
I’m concerned about where the post data would be stored using this method. I have confirmed it is theme agnostic, which is nice, so I wouldn’t have this problem again, provided I stick with Visual Composer. Nevertheless, I’m not sure if other plugins and things would be able to reference the data correctly, I’ll do a test soon, but fairly confident it won’t be able to, potentially resulting in even more pain later.
So I have this amazing Newspaper theme and can’t use it due to the migration work required.
I’ve set it all up at http://dev.tech-knowhow.com and the original site is https://www.tech-knowhow.com
I understand I have support from Visual Composer through this theme, could someone please find out for me what is the recommended way to have custom post types such as what I’ve made here? I could just purchase support for Visual Composer if needed as I had that with my original theme anyway.
Thanks,
So the good news is that with a bit of work, I have now in Visual Composer a nice Post Page template, the way I want it, in dev (obviously bits of the site will be broken etc. You can see it at the link below.
Visual Composer list the front end editor as a major feature, but the terminology is highly confusing and I don’t think a front end editor is the same as editing a post with their editor. There are also custom post types referred to, which seem to be all preset, but I’m not sure.
The main concern I have, is doing it like this I don’t know where the data is stored and therefore what other things might break, what sort of design challenges this brings. I understand I have Visual Composer Support through this forum so could someone please ask the question, what is the recommended way to utilise post type templates with Visual Composer?
I’ll start a new thread to ask exactly that question.
Hi
i just installed the newspaper theme and after installation it ask me activate visual composer. but when i click on activate it says no license found
please assist
Hi, I purchased your theme yesterday, I have been hunting around for this info since then having not realised I now have a shortcode migration issue. Apparently this is not uncommon and some themes now offer a migration script for shortcodes (apparently not yours).
I use tabs on my post pages (as seen here) now which is nice as it keeps everything above the fold (multimag theme) and makes the user experience a lot nicer than having long or paginated posts. What I REALLY want (for some time now) is a post template that ‘pre’ sets my post page format to include the tabs so that other writers don’t need to be stuffing around with page setups. Keeping a consistent look and feel is extremely important to the reader.
I will try enabling Visual composer on posts in my dev site to see if that works. So far though, it looks like I’m going to have the daunting task of updating each page manually, or pay someone to write a script, but have no idea where I’d even go for that.
I mention all this because there is clearly a market for migrating shortcodes and it seems the tagdiv team are not as advanced in this area as others. Maybe you can integrate something into your new Visual Composer replacement that handles this.
On my homepage I’m using Visual Composer. I’ve selected a widgetized sizebar on the right side. In the widgetize sidebar, I’ve selected Newsmag default as the sidebar.
Nothing appears.
In Appearance > Widgets > Newsmag Default there are several widgets.
Secondly, how do I add a new sidebar container in the widgets area? There are Footers 1, 2, and 3, but no others>
I have just update the last social coutner and visual composer plugins, but facebook counter appears 0 fans.
I have check tutorial after asking here, but it doesnt work.
My web: http://thezugzwangblog.com/
It has been designed by widget no by composer.
Thanks..
Well As I said above, it is not a visual composer element. It is added by the theme . If you want to remove it you should change the page template: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
There are 3 templates. Only 1 of them contains the element.
Thank you!
Hello,
The envato market plugin will automatically update your theme.
You can see the current theme version on the official themeforest newspapewr page: https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609?s_rank=1
Please make sure you have version 7.6 of the theme: http://screencast.com/t/fkZDkgz1aHm0
You can find the visual composer plugin in the main theme archove you can download from envato. The envato market app will not provide the latest version of visual composer so you will still have to download the theme package to update visual composer. The plugin will not update automatically.
The same goes for revolution slider. If they are bundled with the theme free of charge, they will not update automatically.
Thank you!
2. Got it! I was able to do it with your instructions! Thanks!
3. Still can’t see how to DELETE the bottom Latest Articles? I don’t see the Latest Articles at the bottom on the Visual Composer…. sorry…
Hi
OK, I have updated the theme installing the envato plugin. Q1: Does thos mean I will never have to update the theme manually again? Q2: Where do I find the current version of my theme?
I still do not have ImageBox as an option, and I u understand it I will still have to update Visial Composer manually as described here https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/. Q3: Where do I find or download the file Newspaper\includes\plugins\js_composer.zip from? Q4: Can I somehowe make Visual Composer update itself automatically? I believe your FAQ says it will be updated with the theme?
I also use Slider Ravolution. Q5: How do I update that plugin? Can I make it updating itself as well
Thnaks.
Hi,
None of you own content will be deleted by the theme. When you install a demo, there is an option to include content like posts, menus etc. If you uninstall the demo the import system will remove only the included demo content not your own, then you can choose to install a different demo and add your content, or create your own pages using the customizing possibilities of Visual Composer. You can change the demos without any concerns regarding you own content because it won’t be affected.
Thanks
Hello,
Well if the plugin caused the issue, it means that there is most likely a setting in the plugin that causes this issue. WPML is not tested with our theme so i cannot say for sure. It could conflict with another plugin not just the theme. Try this: Disable all plugins except wpml and visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. And check if the category filters work properly.
Thanks.
You do not need any section ID for any element in our theme. That option is there because visual composer put it there but our theme does not need it.
Please specify exactly what you are trying to achieve because you do not need the section ID anywhere.
I suspect this is what you want to replicate: http://screencast.com/t/QAj8yUzh
Please follow this topic if this is the case
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/demo-black/
You can add content to the tabs using the visual composer controls: http://www.screencast.com/t/eisHNUJzCI
Thank you!
