HI
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge the cdn if you’re using then test the site again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide your site url so we can have a closer look at this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
@adityakuber please try to re-create your homepage or set a wordpress blog hopmepage from reading settings and see if that shows up.
If it still does not show up, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test again.
Thank you!
Hello how do i update the visual composer plugin?
I followed your advice. I did a fresh install of wordpress on my pc and installed the latest version of Newspaper theme, with only the Visual Composer plugin. I created some articles without images, so the default one is picked up. I keep getting the same problem, saying that without content on the page (plugins, ads, images, nothing) it loads faster and it’s harder to see the issue, but it persists. I had to take a photowith my smartphone (it isn’t perfect but you see the problem it’s the same).
Can you help me?
Hello, anything I do, that menu stays like that. sometimes it works just fine, but sometimes I have to F5 the page to get rod of the menu… Is the default settings, no settings imported via demos. Plugins installed: Askimet, Photo Box, Shield, Shortcodes Ultimate, tagDiv Speed Booster,
WPBakery Visual Composer (which sreams for update for a long time btw), and Yoast SEO.
Tnx,
Alex Ciocan
Hello geolux,
If you want this, you will have to use the do_shortcode method to add everything you want at this page. So, first of all, you should prepare your block in Visual Composer, filtered by latest articles and then take the shortcode generated by this plugin and with this function, add this in the core file where the bbpress is created, like bbpress.php file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/XnkATDX2x -> http://screencast.com/t/bJwEiALFLTBS -> http://screencast.com/t/gxnsl7KIrYc Please read this guide to learn how to filter posts inside blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/ For more information about do_shoercode method, please check this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-content-block-in-the-posts-below-social-sharing/
Please notice that is not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks!
Hello,
I have checked your site and saw that you have a js error in your console. Your tabs are not working currently. It’s probably a plugin conflict so try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
FOr the tab setup, you only need to create a tab element with 5 sections and add a big grid 5 to each section, then for each big grid, you need to specify a separate category from block settings. Please read this guide to learn how to filter posts inside blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello planetcappe,
I caught this behavior as sometimes happens when the page is in loading process and then it becomes to normal. So, I suspect this happens to due from your untested plugins. 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. Until now, we do not have any bad reports in this regard. The theme was fully tested and seems to work as properly in this regard. If your problem is still there, please try to use the Force Regenerate with Regenerate Thumbnails to regenerate you thumbs, clear all your caches and test it again. Also, you should make a new clean install, without any plugins and customizations and check the results with a new clean theme version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
HI
The theme won’t ask the purchase code again after update, you don’t need to worry about this.
You’re using a very old version of Newsmag theme and if you update it you will need to re-build the pages made with Visual Composer as the shortcodes were changed.
Before making any changes in your site make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install and the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups This is a security measure, in case something goes wrong you can always get back to previous version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hello nycinsider,
The latest version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme (Newspaper 7.4) is 4.12.1. Please try to update the theme and all required plugins, clear all your caches and test again and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Raul007,
I have tested on my side, just created a smart list 6 with more images and captions and all of these seems to work as properly, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/G1y0oT9mPq2k I have inspected your page source and I noticed that you are using some untested plugins which can interfere with the theme and cause a lot of unknown issues. Please try to disable all your 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. Also, you can try to update the theme to the latest version of it -> Newspaper 7.4.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello drhitender,
Try to install the latest version of the theme which is Newspaper 7.4. All required plugins come bundled with the theme, like as Visual Composer 4.12.1 and Social Counter 4.1. Update the theme to the latest version of it, clear all your caches and check the results. If you want to know what type of version for Visual Composer you are using, you will have to look here -> http://screencast.com/t/mX21stVIRbn
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
It is associated with the visual composer?
I’m going to pay back money for upgrade:S
I was able to finally reinstall visual composer and all is working well, now. Not sure what happened. Magic, I guess.
Hi, I am the owner of a newspaper 6 and the visual composer does not work, plus there is a newer version of this visual composer but I am not offered the update.
I don’t know what might be the problem; the domain name is arnmessager.com
Thanks
Chris
We are on newspaper v7.4 with latest visual composer and later mobile theme activated….

The visual composers backend editor appears on the screen of my mobile homepage(I use the mobile plugin) , right after the 3 big featured post.It disappears when I deactivate Jetpack, How do I solve that ? Beacuse I need both the Jetpack and the newspaper mobile plugin
Hi,
I have a Revolution slider in an 8 column box in Visual Composer, with a 4 column area to the right with buttons. It looks fine in Firefox, but in Safari and Chrome the slideshow expands to full width and the 4 column box drops below. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks, Kathy
That is not a safe method for my site. As I said, deactivating VC crashes the site because of the coding in functions.php. So there is no way to get to Step 2 when Step 1 crashes the site. I have to remove lines 205-207 from functionsphp, reupload the file, then reinstall VC, then put back the original functions.
What version of VC should we be using right now? I’m at 4.11.2, which is the most recent on Envato.

Love the theme!
I have an issue with search results that include pages though.
Pages that I’ve built with the visual composer have a string of characters above the content that goes off the side of the page. How can I remove those characters? Can I hide pages from search (not ideal solution)?
Here’s an example: http://1f1.b0d.myftpupload.com/?s=glenn
Thanks!
Hi sorry for late response. Regarding your queries-
1. Visual composer is installed and active.
2. Newspaper v 7.3 is used
3. Dnt know version of visual composer. It was inbuilt with the theme when I purchased.
4. I am only using newspaper 7.3 theme. I believe this is mobile friendly. Not installed any other plugin related to mobile theme.
5. Tried with disabling all the plugins except visual composer, still problem remains same.
Am I missing something? ?
Thanks
Page builder elements – The “Mobile theme” is designed for users who want to optimize the page content for mobile devices or they want to display fewer / different elements on mobiles. For optimal performance we removed the page builder (Visual Composer) dependency; this means you cannot use the page builder elements for the “Mobile theme” pages.
If you want to display the same elements on both mobile and desktop, don’t use the mobile theme, the main theme is already capable of this with it’s responsive design for mobiles.
Hi,
I experience several problems with Newspaper 7.3
I couldn’t find anyway to fix them, so here I am.
First, I use Big Grid 7 from visual composer for my homepage.
Looks good on the desktop, but not appear on mobile.
Second, I use post template style #8.
The header background looks good on the desktop but not appear on mobile.
In fact, the author name falls behind the social buttons so it’s not visible to the readers.
Third, the sidebar in posts not appear on mobile.
I installed the theme on 2 different websites and they both have the same problem.
I’m using Newspaper child theme.
Thanks in advance
