Hi,
Just bought the newspaper theme on themeforest the other day (so I’m using the latest version) and I’m setting it up first on my local before I migrate it on the actual server.
I installed WordPress first on my local, including the newspaper default theme w/o including the contents. Also activated Visual composer and Revo Slider plugin. Going to the ‘Visual Composer->General Settings’ shows the following:


What do I do to remove the error showing?
Thanks!
My paper publishes a digital edition using Blue Toad Publishing. My boss has required me to build a website and the iframe code for our digital version MUST be prominent on the front page, preferably as a widget in the sidebar. I have chosen this theme, but I cannot get the iframe code to work. I have spent over two weeks on this problem. I have increased the memory limit of WordPress and PHP, and have tried half a dozen different plugins and modifications to code, but nothing works.
However, someone running WordPress with a different theme was able to get the code to work, so I suspect the theme has something to do with it.
This is the code I am trying to use:
<iframe width='180' height='180' src='http://www.bluetoad.com/flippingGen.php?i=349550&m=4311&ttype=standarddynamic&popup=true&h=hosts&lim=&remToolbars=true&roll=' noresize='noresize' frameborder='0' border='0' cellspacing='0' scrolling='no' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' allowtransparency='yes'></iframe>
I have tried it in a post, in WordPress’ normal sidebar, in Visual Composer’s sidebar, using plugins like Iframely, using embed shortcode, to no success. I will supply any additional information as needed. I am using Bluehost, and when I contacted their help, they did not think they were the problem and encouraged me to increase my PHP memory limit, which I did.
So, on the home page you can add your own text boxes with content … theme cannot invent content for you.
So, in our case, for example we have a text box with h1 tag which is short description of what the site is about.
Above certain news sections we have h2 tags on sub-heads “Book Reviews”…
You don’t need <h3> tags on ‘headlines’ on front page as they are ephemeral and have no SEO value; only persistent elements.
SO, if you use Visual Composer or TD composer, simply experiment with adding your own content.
[slider———-][sidebar]
[text box with h1]
[block of stories]
[text box with h2]
Really up to YOU to decide how you want to lay out, design, and create your site content.
Good luck!
Hi
You can use the default page template for pages and the latest article list won’t be displayed anymore: http://screencast.com/t/LSCtGTxkwUx
You can use top bar 3 for layout: http://screencast.com/t/9qbbYUnC then use this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/d3ceP227f
.td-header-sp-top-menu {
float: none!important;
}
.menu-top-container{
float: right!important;
}
Please make sure that the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know ho it goes.
Thanks!
Hi
The zoom effect works fine on my side with google chrome or Firefox browsers. If yous still have this issue try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re suing then test the site again. Also make sure that you update the theme according with our documentation.
Thanks!
Hi
Theme’s settings are stored in database and they shouldn’t be deleted after the panel is saved. Please make sure that the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know ho it goes.
Thanks!
HI
The theme is carefully tested and there are no malicious codes or files in its patch. Also envato check each new version before approval. Try to download a fresh copy from themeforest, deactivate all plugins, except Visual Composer, then try to update the theme again following our documentation. We recommend to make the update via FTP as it’s the best way of doing a clean update: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi

Hi,
I’m having some trouble making a customized section of our site responsive. We installed a plugin that helped us make a table, which we can display successfully on the site, but it looks horrible on mobile.
Ideally I’d like for some columns of the table to disappear on mobile screens, but I’m struggling to make this work. In the meantime I was hoping you could help me with a workaround.
The table is displayed via a text block on Visual Composer using a shortcode. Is there a way to turn the text block off for mobile or desktop views? If we could have one table display for each device type that would work.
I’ve seen in the Theme panel that some ads can be turned off and on for mobiles and tablets. How do I do the same for elements in Visual Composer?
Thank you,
Ned

Hello, i`m new with newsmag7 and maybe my questions are stupid, but i really need help.
I dont like the home page template. I really dont need the leatest posts in the end of the page (after everything i build with visual composer).
I want the weather and the date in the top menu to float left, but the menu elements to float right.
I have a bug. Even when i disable ads, if i enter one more time to theme panel, they are appearing again. I had to delete the code, to hide them. Any ideas why?
Hello weezyworld,
I have tried to access your website and I get this -> http://screencast.com/t/WjoOHyCx I suppose that you site is in maintenance mode, right? Please ensure that you have the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.4) with the latest version of required plugins (Social Counter 4.1 and Visual Composer 4.12.1), clear all your caches and test it again and check the results. If the problem is still there after this advice, 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. Also, provide there the link of this topic so we can easily identify you.
Thanks for the message!
Hi
The current version of Newspaper theme available on themeforest is V 7.4 , this version also include V 4.12.1 of Visual Composer. Please follow our documentation as Alin indicated in its message.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and now the theme works fine on mobile devices: http://screencast.com/t/m2QJsrGkaA If you still have this issue try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know ho it goes and if the problem persist please provide more details about how can we duplicated on our side, also a screen pointing the issue would be helpful.
Thanks!
Hello aliqayyum,
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 our theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Clear all your caches, remove server caches (if you do not have any access to do it, request this task to the service provider).
For your second request, please notice that the speed of your website depends on how well your site is optimized. Please notice that this is not a simple task and if you do not have any experience in this regard you will do not bring good results for the theme. Also, notice that we have a speed optimization tutorial but this is addressed only to advanced users. So, if you follow the steps which are presented in this tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ you can increase the page speed loading and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because the speed optimization services is not covered by our support policy, as you can read here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/ Check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ regarding on dedicated server to fit to our requirements.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
Please provide a link where we can have a closer look at this issue. Meanwhile try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Thanks!
Hi
@LPnm you can’t use a sidebar created with Visual Composer in post content, that sidebar can be used only where Visual Composer is used. However you can create a new sidebar and add widgets in it from Appearance > Widgets: http://screencast.com/t/h4hoqCcpHa – http://screencast.com/t/xGi1IQptJwP7 After the sidebar is set you just need to choose it for each post where you want it displayed.
Thanks!
Hi
There we don’t use Revolution Slider plugin, we use theme’s homepage post block: http://screencast.com/t/MPgYqKYsJtNQ You can add this block in Visual Composer and the rezult will be similar with the one from our demo.
Thanks!
Hi
Please note that td-composer plugin is still in beta version and is possible to appear some issues with its functionality. The plugin is mostly tested with Newspaper theme but it should also work with Newsmag. Try to use Visual Composer plugin which is included in theme’s patch and check how it goes. https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I think that Speed Booster plugin need some adjustment for latest versions of Yoast 3.7.0 & 3.7.1
Right now, with the speed-booster activated, only the homepage is optimized.
If we analyze with Google Insights all the site (posts, pages, taxonomy) less the homepage, throw render-blocking (¡for both, PC & mobile!) even if the JS & CSS are moved at the bottom. Something that has not happened to me with Yoast 3.5.2 or earlier.
Always using: Yoast, VC, Speed-Booster – system status OK (no modification, only dequeue VC).
I hope you can find a quick solution.
Thank you!
Anecdotally:
For all site, I dequeue Visual Composer and I left it only for the homepage. So theoretically & practically the homepage is the heaviest page from all domain, but still remains the most optimized 🙂
I prefer otherwise.

Hey,
right now I want to create a post template for the articles I will write in the future. So I want to save my Sidebar also that I created on the startpage. The Sidebar should appear on every page, every article etc. The sidebar I have was created in visual composer. Just a facebook box and instagram box. I was able to save these two together as a preset but I cant insert it in the post template is not created with visual composer, i think theres even no way to make it with visual composer. so how can i get my sidebar in my posts?
Hi,
Please provide more details about the theme version that you use. If you use a recent version then should be no issues with the update. Just please make sure that you make a full backup of you current install(wordpress and database) – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups and then update the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
After the update you can update also the Visual Composer plugin to the latest version provided with the theme package 4.12.1 – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The theme update should not affect the theme or wordpress settings, only if you have custom modifications to the theme files you will need to re-add them.
Thanks!
HI
There seems to be a css issue, on the homepage you have a container added by some plugin. This container goes over content, that’s why the posts can’t be clicked.
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Thanks!
Hello,
This type of errors is usually caused by a javascript error. This in most cases is a plugin conflict. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test again.
If this does not fix it, then please also check for any js optimization or custom code added in the child theme that can cause problems with our theme. Try to get the theme as close to the original as possible regarding customization (through code. theme panel settings do not count except for the custom code boxes)
Thank you!
