Hello,
I’ve been having trouble with Visual Composer, which is probably no surprise to anyone, it looks like it may require an update. I was able to find come coding fixes online which have improved the problems I am having…. But I am still not getting 100% fully functional and I figured I would register here and see if anyone can help me with a work-around, which may also help others.
I originally found some fixes online here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/visual-composer-is-not-working/
I spent sometime last evening and was able to improve the editor from this link.
But it is still not perfect. I think my ideal workaround would be finding someone who can actually share with me the shortcodes for the Newspaper style being used here as Magazine: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_magazine/
If someone has the shortcodes for this style and could share the entire block of code with me (the code that would appear in the BACKEND EDITOR I think I can get this done the old fashion way…
Hi,
I have a custom home page on morenews.pk, and in the right sidebar, I am unable to place widgets. From Visual Composer when I try to select the popular post widget, I can’t see it. However, there are few other native WordPress widgets, but any other widget that is created through a plugin does not come there. What is the way to bring any widget over there?
What are you releasing the new version of Newsmag since the Visual Composer plugin keeps showing the latest update?
Hello SamiRiding,
It seems to have a problem with your frontend. Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme which is Newspaper 7.5 and also, the latest version of required plugins which come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. Make sure that you have updated the Visual Composer to the higher tested version with the theme ->4.12.1. Notice that the theme is fully compatible with the VC and until now we do not have any bad reports in this regard! If the problem is still there, please try making a new fresh install from scratch via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello sobepolitics,
Unfortunately, the latest version of Visual Composer (version 5) is not yet tested with our theme and you can’t use it with our theme, at the moment, sorry! Notice that this plugin should have to be adjusted and verified before being released. Our developers work hard in this regard and we will release that version in our near future updates. Until we will launch the future updates with this version of Visual Composer you should use the VC 4.12.1 version.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello fediv,
Unfortunately, this is not a simple task using only the Visual Composer plugin to recreate the Big Grid 3, sorry! Please keep in mind that our Big Grids are custom made and you cannot change very easy the structure of them, sorry! Here is talking about additional customizations and as you probably know, we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!
If you want to display more levels in our theme and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Well, that could be the reason the mobile theme will not display themn. The mobile theme was built to ignore visual composer. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Try to use the shortcodes separate from visual composer and add them in the mobile editor for pages.
Thank you.
Hello,
You are right and VC is getting lots of updates recently and that is the reason why the latest version is not yet available for use with our theme. We cannot keep up with the updates live. We have to download the update, test it with our theme and make the proper adjustments. And yes, the plugin will not work out of the box, it needs adjustments to work properly with our theme elements. You will have to wait until we provide the update for the plugin along with the theme update. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you
Hello ks2355244,
It seems to be a strange behavior which can be generated by your untested plugins which are used by you. 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 packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. Please keep in mind that the mobile theme plugin is fully tested and compatible with our product and it seems to work as properly until now. Try my advice and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello eddiecassidy6,
First of all, I will thank you for your above explanation. Here is talking about an unproperly setup of your homepage and that’s why you will bring these. I guess that you want to have a smart sidebar which rolling until the latest article module, look like the demo, right? Please notice that you should use correctly the Visual Composer (2/3+1/3) and also if you want to have this type of sidebar you should set it properly with our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ I have inspected your screens and I have notice that you are not using the right layout of your rows in Visual Composer and that’s why you will bring these white spaces. Try to use our documentation regarding on how you can use the Visual Composer plugin, here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ because it is very useful to understand the right steps in order to achieve best results. If you want to change the background of your website, first of all, you should check the Design Option from your Row Settings because the color comes from here, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/r27qtdqFqSf
Regarding on pictures on the header menu, please notice that all of them were made using the Font Awesome for Menus plugin which has this functionality. For more information about this plugin, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-add-icons-in-menu/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Unfortunately, there are no sorting option for the category archive. A category page is not like a standard page. It will show all your posts that belong to that category in a “latest” sorting fashion. The only options available for the category pages are available in the theme panel under the per-category setting. You cannot edit a category page in visual composer and you cannot sort the posts as there is no such functionality added to them. WordPress only provides a loop of the latest posts on category pages and we do not change that functionality. We added a bit of style to it, but do not change the base structure of a category page.
Visual composer as well cannot be used on a category page as they also did not create it to handle categories. We only recommend using visual composer on pages but the plugin allows the use on posts as well, but no category pages.
Thank you!
Hi there,
I’m having trouble with designing a page. I’ve built the page using the visual composer and pressed preview to see what it looks like and it’s fine. When I press publish my page design and content disappear and the page displays ‘No posts to display’. I’ve managed to design other pages and publish them and they’ve been fine but this page doesn’t seem to work.
Can you help me please?
Thanks 🙂
Hello,
Please access the theme panel and install the visual composer plugin: http://screencast.com/t/ohJuXxR2s6u
The social counter plugin is also required for the demo content or if you plan on using social share icons on your site.
Thank you!
Hello aleks1111,
First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme which comes bundled with the latest version of required plugins (Visual Composer 4.12.1, Social Counter 4.1). Clear all your caches, purge CDN files and check the results. After this, please ensure that your Social Counter is correctly set it according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/ If the problem is still there, please provide some useful screenshots with your error log and also, provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer and so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hi Bogdan,
I have created a very simple shortcode to display a custom styled button. It’s just an anchor tag, with an URL as the parameter, that’s it. I want to use this in posts and pages.
Does it matter that I registered these shortcodes in Visual Composer also, because I want to add them to my content from VC?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Nemanja.
Hello,
Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
You do NOT have to buy visual composer. It is already included in the theme package. Please ignore the nagging activation or update messages.
Thank you!
Hi Team,
Visual composer is getting updated very often from last 3-4 months. Could you please tell me the easiest process to update the plugin. What I was doing is downloading the newspaper theme from theme forest, deleting the plugin from site and then installing plugin which i have downloaded. But, some times still the latest version is not available there and still its asking to update the plugin. So, please help me to update the plugin whenever there is an update.
Thanks
Thanks for responding. With that, I followed your direction on how to upload the new Visual Composer. It is still reading Version 4.12.1,and I’m still getting the update message for the 5.0 version. Where do I get the new Version
To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?
plugin not updating
You launch VisualComposer from a “page” you’re building and not from the VC settings page. You can ignore the “buy me” nag screen as not applicable with the bundle version – just ignore it ! 🙂
I already have updated my theme newspaper V7 and Visual composer 4.7, but when i want to use the visual composer Takes me to the website to pay for an update for 34 dollars
