Please support PHP7. I have just test my blog compatibility for php7 and i found Newsmag and Visual Composer doesn’t compatible with php7. Please advice me how to make it compatible.


As an update, if I deactivate visual composer, I get more content loading but its still screwy. If I deactivate everything else, activate VC and clear cache, I get that same error noted above.

When will the latest visual composer update be available for newspaper theme? I’m having trouble with Yoast…and I think it might be because visual composer is not current.
Version 4.12.1 | By Michael M – WPBakery.com | View details
There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 5.0 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?
I’m experiencing a conflict between these two plugins when activated on mu WP site.
First problem I find is when I want to add/edit a post. With both plugins activated the Post page does not load properly and I’m unable to edit without deactivating Rev Slider. It appears that VC just doesn’t load properly in post page when you want to edit/create. When I deactivate Rev Slider, VC loads fine and operates as it should.
Second problem is when I’m creating/editing a slide in Rev Slider, the plugin editor loads but I’m unable to then do anything (ie – I click on a button, say type of slider and nothing happens – this happens with everything). If I deactivate Visual Composer, Rev Slider works as it should.
Both Rev Slider and VC are updated to latest versions. I’m running WP 4.7. I was experiencing this problem in Newspaper v7.5 and thought updating to v7.6 this morning would solve the problem but it hasn’t and both problems are still occurring.
At a loss to work out why this is happening and would really appreciate your support. Thanks
Hi Guys
I am referring to this site – http://www.bluemountainsrecord.com.au/
I have used NewsMag for other sites but haven’t come up with this issue before.
On the main page, using Visual Composer, I have some content blocks set up. The feature image is showing on the main page when a visitor visits for the first time, but when they return, the images do not appear. The same happens if you refresh the page.
Sometimes, scrolling down and up again solves the issue – sometimes it doesn’t.
I am guessing this is some sort of caching issue, but it only impacts the visual composer blocks and no other images on the page (including images placed by Visual Composer).
Any ideas?
Hi there,
I want to build a website for recepies.
For better content management I want to setup each recepie as a separate post with a fixed structure.
The post itself will be rather short some text, including image and cta button.
BUT these single posts I don’t want to display and rank on search engine.
I WANT those posts to be listed on category pages in full length that I want to rank.
fyi: I use visual composer als plugin.
How can I get my posts listed on one page now? Can I get this done with visual composer plugin or is there an other way?
best regards,
Oliver
Hello,
A new update was just released so please update your version of the theme and visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Then test this without any other plugins. 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.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hello samstraka,
I feel sorry that I heard this. Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Also, please make sure that you have enabled the Visual Composer and the others required plugins.
If you are unsatisfied by the theme, please ask for the refund here – https://themeforest.net/refund_requests/new and we will agree with it. We don’t want to have unhappy customers!
Thanks!
Hi,
What version of visual composer do you use?
Hi,
I made some tests but everything seems to be in order – http://screencast.com/t/qnP8be2yB after refreshing the page – http://screencast.com/t/v28o39iF This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thanks
I downloaded the latest Newspaper update I bought, and installed as shown in your Visual Composer link.
When i want to create or edit a page or article, a blank page opens. But if I disable the visual composer it works very well.
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no simple way of doing it except hard-coding it. The post templates are created for posts. There are specific containers and css that were created for that post template in particular. You will have to create a custom page template and add the containers and css yourself to replicate the post style. I cannot provide any solution for this as there is no simple one. You will have to create the html structure and the css that goes along with it. You can create a replica of it in visual composer by adding a stretched row with a black background and a video inside of it. But you will not be able to add the breadcrumbs inside it though. That is why you need to hard-code it.
Thank you!
Hello,
You do not have to buy visual composer and you do not need to update it from the plugin author. We will provide the updates along with our theme updates. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hello,
1. This could be because of your customization. Please restore the plugin and theme to it’s default code and test again. Try to disable all plugins except visual composer and buddypress, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. I cannot se this issue on my end so it is caused by something on your end.
2. The colors are added by the plugins and our theme has no option to change these colors. You can use this css code to change the black colors:
.bbp-search-form input[type=submit]{
background-color:red;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header{
background: none red;
}
#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a{
background-color:red;
}
.td-page-content .item-list-tabs .feed a{
background-color:red!important;
}
These colors do not have settings for them so they can only be altered with css. You will have to identify the ones you want to change and use the browser inspector to alter their color. If the plugin does not add any options for changing the colors, the theme cannot do it instead.
Thank you!
Hi,
The demos come with included content(posts, categories etc.) When you install the demo you have the option to choose whether to include content or not.
1. If you want to add your own content in the Big grid, open the Homepage – http://screencast.com/t/jOSdF7jNr in Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/3YdN9Vhx then in the Big grid settings(they appear when you hover it, click edit block) – http://screencast.com/t/khkVIhgP8auN in the Filter tab you can choose the content by filtering categories, post types, sort order etc – http://screencast.com/t/IaqmtgxFo2P
All of this is explained in this tutorial – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
2. You can set a custom title for each block in it’s settings(open the same page in Visual Composer) – http://screencast.com/t/KJbu0NXK
Thanks
I bought a newspaper license, as soon as I want to do the Visual Composer update it tells me that I have to pay a new license for Visual Composer, Is that normal?
Calm down dude. Visual Composer is notorious for breaking websites and clashing with other plugins, so the developers will not endorse a newer version until they are 100% happy that it will work with your theme. The theme or associated plugins may need modifications to work happily with Visual Composer 5.0, or it may be that the Visual Composer developers have made some errors and need to introduce a 5.0.1 update for it to work.
In the meantime, the latest version of VC (4.12.1) works just fine. If you want to live on the edge and risk your site breaking, go ahead and buy the latest version of Visual Composer for yourself.
Hello lucentitsolutions,
I have checked your website on mobile mode and I saw that you are using the Mobile Theme plugin and the featured images are not showing as properly. Also, I notice that you are using some untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues. Try to disable all the active plugins, 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. Purge all the CDN files if you are using the CDN system and check the results. If the problem is still there, please make a new clean install from scratch via FTP method because this is the surest and safe mode in this regard.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello gbrein,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme which is Newspaper 7.5 and also, please make sure that you are using the latest version of required plugins (Visual Composer 4.12.1 and Social Counter 4.1). So, if you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN file and check the results. The Social Counter is fully tested with the theme and it should work as expected.
If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Provide the link to this topic so we can quickly identify you.
Thanks for the message!
Hello RichardU,
Please ensure that you have added a logo to your mobile mode and also, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme copy and rule out any conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
There is no setting in the theme for this, but you can add this code(with the color you want) in the Theme Panel->Custom Css
.td_video_playlist_title {
background-color: #ff533d;
}
The result is like this – http://screencast.com/t/S4aPdjNmE3RU
As there is no way to set a title for a Big Grid in it’s settings, in order to achieve this open your page in the Visual Composer and add a Raw Html – http://screencast.com/t/3tI3IOavQM3O in the same row with your Big Grid(above it) – http://screencast.com/t/DezI2TgTnBfL.
Then in the Raw HTML edit section, General tab – http://screencast.com/t/GJPbPeQkL add this code
<h4 class="block-title" style="border-color: #e29c04;"><span style="margin-right: 0px;background-color: #e29c04;">Latest Articles</span></h4>
This is the result – http://screencast.com/t/3g5c0UJlR (Enter what you want instead of Latest Articles, and choose whatever colors you want for the border and the background)
Thanks
Hello,
Do you maybe use php7? Our theme is not yet compatible with php 7. Please restore a previous version of PHP and clear all caching afterwards even on the hosting side. Alternatively you can try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello EverydayCareerGirl,
I do not exactly understand what you mean through the app? Notice that if you will update the Visual Composer, only this plugin will have to be updated and no other applications which are not related to plugin.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
The requests to admin ajax come from all the complex visual composer elements on your site. Please reduce the number of ajax uses by reducing pagination on most blocks, ajax filters, and other complex elements from visual composer. You can also make sure you use the latest version of the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
