Hi,
Please try one more thing. Disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. The test the sidebars again. If the problem is still there without plugins, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin so we can login and investigate the issue.
Thank you!
If you are required to add these elements on posts, then you can try to use visual composer on psots. it is just not recommended. Posts were never meant to have complex elements such as accordions and tabs, but if this is a must, you can try to use it but just keep in mind that some elements could not work as we only tested it on pages. By default our theme does not provide accordions and tabs on posts. We only recommend using the shortcodes and formats I exemplified above. There is no recommended way of adding those elements you want on posts but no one is restricting you into giving it a shot with visual composer elements. You can activate visual composer for posts from the visual composer settings: http://screencast.com/t/vtPDLk5SC6
Just keep in mind that this is not a tested and recommended implementation so if something goes wrong, you should replace the element as we have not tested it and cannot provide implementation methods for blocks that will not work properly on posts.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello Hela,
The visual composer activation message appears on all sites that use visual composer, not matter the theme or domain. In our case, you must ignore this message as the Visual Composer does not require activation when it’s provided in the theme package. The plugin authors cannot verify this though so they could not remove the message to this particular case. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi: I am running two sites, a development site and a production site which I believe to be identical:
Newspaper 7.5
Visual Composer 4.12.1
However on the dev site when I edit a Text Block I get two tabs: Visual and Text. On the production site the editor has no tabs and the editing features are those of the Text editor; the Visual is totally missing.
It is probably a config issue but I can’t find it. Any ideas how to get the full capability of the VC?
Thanks,
Bob
I bought the Newspaper theme for a friend and in the demos, it has a sidebar on the home page yet no matter what I do, I can’t seem to get one for my site, http://timetravelnexus.com/.
On the edit page page I see this message: “While using Visual Composer sidebar settings are not available. To add a sidebar on page use the widgetised sidebar block.”
Yet, when I use that it just puts my sidebar at the bottom of my page. The rest of the pages on my site have the sidebar to the right. When we tried to put it to the right by splitting the columns, it seriously messed up and distorted the page. How can I get it to show up on my home page?
Thanks!
Hi, I need to create posts without using the templates that automatically insert content in the content area. I do want the header and footer, but no other content blocks. I want to create the post with visual composer and have full control of the content area. How do I do this? or what are basic steps to create my own custom template, if that’s possible? Thanks.
Hi I just got Newspaper today and installed after which i activated the theme and installed Visual composer. But everything seems not to be fine. when i try to create or edit a page, the visual composer will not be shown and options in theme panel are disabled.
Please what do i do?
Thank you.
FYI: I only use TD Composer for the home page or strict “pages,”; and use the normal WP post editor for posts. That works with Newsmag 3.1 just superbly. But it is a beta 😉
Solved the issue. I had to uninstall the WPBakery Visual Composer and upload the updated one provided by the template. Seems to be working ok now.
Not sure what happend but my site @ socialhomenews.com is acting funny. I noticed that there is now [vc_row][vc_column] and other code appearing. Now the module blocks aren’t aligning and the sidebar has disappeared? Before I started using Newspaper I had Avada installed which uses something called Fusion Builder and I’m not sure if there is a conflict between Visual Composer and that but something is not right.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. thanks.
Hi!
I have this problem with latest theme of newspaper. Basically when i press f5 key (when refresh page multiple times) my server crashes.
In this moment i’ve isolated the site from the rest of the server , i bought an ssd hosting with 8 gb ram and 8 cores to test it, and despite the resources allocated to it when i press refresh it brings down the whole server, cpu usage is very high.
Ihave all the latest plugins installed. Here is my list o plugins:
Akismet
Wordfence Security
WP Super Cache
WPBakery Visual Composer v4.12.1
I’ve tested the f5 “feature” with a fresh install of wordpress and with another theme from themeforest and both websites are working properly, no server crash and no high cpu load.
Please Tag Div help me!
okay i read that link and it says “Visual Composer is working only on Pages and will help you to create amazing and unique layouts“. Now i am confused what shortcodes should i use in my posts. On several posts i have the requirement to create a message box, accordion, icon box etc. But you are saying vc shortcodes should be used only in pages.
Hello,
Your sidebar appears, but it;s broken and shows below the footer: http://screencast.com/t/U6ih6pn9ucc There could be a broken html tag in your post content or a plugin conflict so please check on multiple posts and please 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,
We are working on a new release of the composer plugin and we will upload it as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience but it is a work in progress and not a final product yet.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. This could be a plugin conflict affecting the category page.
If you still have this issue, please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hi,
Well you can try it out but it is not tested so it could provide mixed results. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hello,
Sorry but we do not own a copy of the premium package and testing a plugin is not as easy as it sounds. if the plugin does not work out of the box, it means the theme requires adjustments made to it in order to work with the plugin. Sorry but since the plugin is not tested, there is no solution I can offer in this regard. Please try a few debugging yourself and disable all other plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Also check any settings that might make the plugin not work properly. Disable any extra options that are not provided in the free plugin and test again to see exactly which option is the not working one.
Thank you!
Hello,
This is most definitely a line height issue. It affects the menu as well as the pagination. Please restore the theme line height to the default values. Check any custom code you might have or disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thank you!
Hello mjtieden,
Please ensure that your Visual Composer version is 4.12.1, the version which comes bundled with the theme packet. Also, please check the system status to be higher increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Unfortunately our theme blocks will only work with visual composer. We have not tested any other page builder. There is a slim chance the blocks will work with another builder. We have not tested the beaver builder so we cannot say for sure if it will even run with our theme. you will have to give it a try if you already own a copy but you will do so at your own risk. Make a back-up beforehand.
Thank you!
Hello Toni,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer,clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again. There most likely is a plugin causing the issue.
thank you!
Hello,
Please do not use the tagdiv composer together with visual composer. 2 page builders will cause problems. Please provide more details to what issue remains unclear?
Thank you!
Hello,
That feature is theme specific and only available on the newsman theme. There is no such styling on newspaper. You can customize each block from the design option tab in visual composer though.
Thank you!
Hello,
It is not a bug but most likely an external source causing this. it could be a plugin or the cache or any optimization tolls you might use that causes the issue. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache ande reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again without the other plugins. disabling and re-installing the plugins again will not do anything as you must test without them to see if the error comes from an active plugin. Also if you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
