Hello songhy,
Please ensure that you have properly installed the theme, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme which comes bundled ith the latest version of required plugins. If you are using some untested ones, try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer and install only the plugins that come bundled wit the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Also, after installing the theme, you should check your system status to have the right value for all parameters in order to achieve best results, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Clear all your caches and check the results.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!

You should update the theme to the latest version: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The you should make sure you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and increase your system status parameters like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/

Hello soithong,
Make sure if you are suing the latest version of the theme and only the version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme packet. I recommend you doing a new clean install from scratch and install only required plugins, clear all your caches and check the results. You should update the theme and the plugins only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard in order to bring best results. For more information in this regard, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Notice that the Visual Composer is fully tested and compatible with the theme and until now we do not have any bad reports in this regard.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello,
The news ticker as a any other block element in visual composer must be added on each page as it’s not a widget. It is a block element. If you want it on pages you have to add it in. There is a workaround if you truly want to place it, but you will need to edit the theme files for that. The theme has no such setting.
You can filter the news ticker the way you want to and then place the shortcode in a do_shortcode function like so :
Your shortcode could look different based on your settings.
Then you can add the above function in the page template files. There are 3 page templates. Add the function in the one you use on your pages or all 3 if you use all of them

Thank you!
Hello,
The image shows a big grid element you can add on your site in visual composer. You can find the element in the visual composer elements list when editing a page. It is called big grid 1: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
As for the spacing above it, you can use this css to remove it:
.home .td-main-page-wrap{
padding-top:0!important;
}
Add the code in the theme panel->custom css box
Thank you!
Hello,
I have updated theme but now I got error blank page when I activated js_composer.
And I got error log like this
[10-Nov-2016 04:43:40 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/muanxgxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/settings/class-vc-settings.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/muanxgxxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/js_composer.php on line 764
Please advise how to fix?
Thank you very much.

Hello iisnet,
Please try to use the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area. It happens due to the Separator element from Visual Composer which has width:100%.
@media(max-width:767px){
.vc_separator .vc_sep_holder .vc_sep_line {
width: 99%!important;
}
}
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello loano1,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you mean, sorry! Do you are referring to this section (Excerpts) -> http://screencast.com/t/Z6qxtazY4i Notice that this feature is created by the theme and not from Visual Composer. All the excerpts can be handle from Theme panel->Excerpts section. For more information about this, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/excerpts-introduction/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer clear cache and rest cdn files if you use it. You seem to have a plugin conflict going on that affects the menu. Please also check for any customization and switch to the main theme if you use a child theme to rule out any custom code from there.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi, is there a way to remove Visual Composer code from page excerpts? E.g.: Search on Page for Home
In my case, I think this code comes from the Newspaper home slider implemented via Visual Composer on top of the home-site. Condition: I don’t want to add text on top of the slider.
Hi,
The Visual Composer plugin was initially designed as a pagebuilder. You can use it also on post if you really want this as we have made some tests and we have fixed from css problems so it should work. But I personally don’t recommend this as for example you may not use some features like inline ad also the tagdiv gallery was designed more for post content,the shortcodes will appear on excerpts and so on.
Thanks!
Hi,
When you create a page without using the Visual Composer pagebuilder, the page title will appear in frontend even if you use the default page template. You can use this custom css to hide it – http://screencast.com/t/Fbjn3JIe7o
.page-id-798 .td-page-header {
display: none;
}
.page-id-798 .td-page-content h2:first-child {
margin-top: 0px;
}
Hope this helps!
Hi,
Out of curiosity I was wondering why visual composer is not a part of posts by default? Does it make the website heavy and slow to load?
Its only there on pages by default.
Best,
Gaurav
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Also remove any image optimization tools such as photon.
Most images appear fine. Only the ones that are too small do not position properly in the grids. You must make sure you upload images that are big enough to fit in the grids as the theme will not enlarge images. It only crops them.
Thank you!
Hello,
You can ignore the activation message. You do not have to activate your plugin.
- The theme includes a license for this plugin so you don’t have to buy it.
- You don’t have to activate the plugin license, it’s already activated.
- You can’t update Visual Composer directly from the it’s producer.
- You don’t have to worry about the plugin update warnings.
- We provide updates on a regular basis, after we test the plugin for theme compatibility we include it in the latest theme update, inside the ../plugins folder
Please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it
Thank you!
Dear Bogdan,
I tried the plugin as well. It didn’t help.
Although I tried the below code in raw js element of visual composer on a page and now it works perfectly fine.
If you can guide me how can I run the same code on a post by screenshot, it would be a great help really.
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”//api.skyscanner.net/api.ashx?key=ae5d22b7-42f9-475e-a227-5a8c56fbb1e7″></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
skyscanner.load(“snippets”,”2″);
function main(){
var snippet = new skyscanner.snippets.SearchPanelControl();
snippet.setShape(“box300x250”);
snippet.setCulture(“en-GB”);
snippet.setCurrency(“INR”);
snippet.setProduct(“flights”,”1″);
snippet.setProduct(“hotels”,”2″);
snippet.setProduct(“carhire”,”3″);
snippet.draw(document.getElementById(“snippet_searchpanel”));
}
skyscanner.setOnLoadCallback(main);
</script>
<div id=”snippet_searchpanel” style=”width: auto; height:auto;”></div>
I have reinstall the VISUAL COMPOSER but it goes on asking for ACTIVATE YOUR COPY.
And my site does not charge properly.
Hello Sir,
after having updated theme to latest verison, now i frequently see the visual composer activate your copy notice keep poping up at top of my posts.
Isnt it with the theme so why it keeps showing up ?
Hello,
If you want to update your site please follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Please make sure to also update your visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
If the site still does not load properly, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and rest cdn files.
Then test again
Thank you!
Hello logosi,
The theme is fully compatible with the Visual Composer version which comes bundled with the theme packet and should not occur any issues in this regard. As my colleague, Bogdan said you at above replied you should only install the VC from the panel, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ First of all, ensure that you have increased your system status to the higher values according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks for the message!
Him,
You have to update your version of visual composer. That is why you see the error. You are trying to install a version of VC that is not supported anymore. Please disable your plugin and delete files from the WP plugins section and then simply install the plugin from here: http://screencast.com/t/CpIJPmgjil91
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Also disable any image optimization tools you might have in place. It seems your thumbnail for those posts gets converted to a 1 x 0 pixels image. That is why you cannot see it.
After you disable all plugins and check any custom code please make sure thumbs are active on your site: http://screencast.com/t/jIv2BXrCM5hW and then use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/search/strange/
Thank you!
Hello Jaku,
I have inspected your website and I saw that your site moves a little hard (very smoothly). 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 and rule out any conflicting plugins. Notice that our theme is very complex which has a huge core and if you are using some untested plugins, all of these can interact with the theme code and cause a lot of unknown issues, like that.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thaks for the message!
Reading on the forum, I disabled all plugins and then the demo installed. However, there was another issue with WPBakery Visual Composer, which I understand is a required plugin. More on that in this thread
