You can simply delete it. If you do not want to use visual composer you will have to remove any pages that have been created with visual composer as they will not work anymore. If you do not know how to delete pages please refer to the wordpress documentation/forums for wordpress settings and features.
If you want to change the meta description for the homepage you can use seo yoast to do it. Please read this topic:

Thank you!

I’ve checked your site and now it works fine, however I’ve found some js errors in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/Gh0uR5rmsv which may affect the site.
If you still have this issue try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge the cdn if you’re using then test the a site again.

The difference between them is one is a page created in visual composer, and the other is your homepage blog setting from wordpress. The homepage is created by wordpress and styled by the theme and the other one is a page you created. This is a page you created: http://curiosityhuman.com/curiosityhuman-top-10-stimulating-lists/
this is created by wordpress to display as your homepage: http://curiosityhuman.com/
Thank you!
Hello pauldm,
The Say Way demo has not an available template which may be selected from Visual Composer. If you want to have a Say What demo layout, the only way is to install that demo according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ Also, as homepage, the say what demo uses the pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination as page template and the page builder content you can try the following shortcode -> http://pastebin.com/0paUP2Et
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
The best way to do it is indeed through FTP as Chris mentioned (Thanks Chris) You simply need to delete your old theme and then add the new theme files in the wp-content/themes folder.
The update script needs to be activated after you update the theme. Please note that you will also need to update all your theme plugins (visual composer, revolution slider, social counter). They are all included in the theme package.
There will be some elements that will have to be replaced or re-created as lots of things changed since newspaper 4
Thank you!
Hello,
You do not need to buy visual composer as it’s already included free of charge.
In order to edit a page simply access page edit and enter backend editor. Then you have access to the blocks settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
If you want to edit wiodgets, you need to access the widgets area of wordpress: http://screencast.com/t/QCX6C9wF6czC
Thank you!
Hello,
I ran a few tests with this widget and it works as expected: http://screencast.com/t/6qr6i64lo8T
Are you sure you have the right sidebar selected on your post?
If this is not the case, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know if you still have trouble with this.
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately the front-end editor has been disabled in our theme because it caused a few issues that could not have been overcome. You can only use the back-end editor in our theme. We are building our very own builder that is a front end drag and drop builder. You can test it out here: https://github.com/tagDiv/td-composer (you install it as a plugin)
Than kyou!
Hello yukiy531,
Please keep in mind that this type of error is generated by a bad version of Visual Composer with the latest version of Newspaper. Please try to update it to the latest version of it which is 4.12.1, clear all your caches and test it again and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hello planetcappe,
I have checked your website and I noticed that everything seems to work as propelry, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/2WeGAWZAXL4P -> http://screencast.com/t/TKxXoMUfTpd I did not saw any problems with your theme. Also, if your problem will reappear, 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.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello kurtnimmo,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using the pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination as page template. So, this type of page template displays your page builder content (edited by Visual Composer) at the first part and in the second part, you will bring the Latest Articles modules with a right sidebar, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/0uWQrJJQrat If you want to display the sidebar in your page builder content, you will have to use 2/3+1/3 as layout, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/HFufztML8pc For more information about how you can use the Visual Composer plugin, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi there, I just inherited the task of web editor for a university publication and I’m working on updating the out-of-date site. I want to upgrade from Newspaper 4 to the latest version. I’ve seen the documentation that lists the three ways to do this. Whenever I attempt to upgrade through WordPress (clicking the ‘update script’ under the “newspaper’ menu heading) it starts, but gives an error message:
“Import script started:
> Newspaper 4 settings not found in database! td_008 – not found
> Quiting!”
Also, I tried to do it using the Envato Market method. I have successfully acquired a token ID. When I click the ‘add item’ option it asks me to input the token and item ID. I use the unique string of letters and numbers that Envato gave me and the item ID 5489609 for the Newspaper theme, as per the documentation. However it says that something is entered incorrectly and I can’t add an item.
I need to update the theme ASAP because most of the interface is broken. The visual composer doesn’t work, the interface crashes almost every time I try to navigate between sections (Pages -> Posts, for example) and uploading media often crashes the browser. All plugins are updated to their current version and WordPress is as well.
Thanks,
-Matt
Hi,
I just updated to Newspaper 7.4 and removed the plugins before. After the update ran through, there was no mobile theme included in the plugins folder. There was only Speed Booster, Social Counter and Visual Composer in that folder.
Where can I get the mobile theme plugin package for Newspaper 7.4 ?
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Hi, My website is http://sassyindianfashion.com/
I selected sidebar on the visual composer screen (Under Home page article/General Tab), yet sidebar is blank in the home page latest article section. Even if I click the pagination the side bar is missing in the subsequent pages.
Please let me know how to set the sidebar for latest article section?
Hello,
I am unable to understand how to remove the blocks “Don’t miss’, ‘Most popular’, ‘Latest videos’, ‘Fashion’ etc. Are they ‘blocks’ or ‘widgets’?
Do I need to buy a license of visual composer in order to edit the home page, or can I do it without purchasing a license?
Please recommend what I must do.
Thank you.
Hello,
I cannot find the option to go to the Visual Composer Frontend Editor. How can I enable it for the Newspaper theme?
Thanks!
Hi,
Well it does slow down the site that’s for sure but this depends on how may elements you use. Everything you add extra every plugin every block every animation every image slows down the site a tiny bit. All together if there are many complex elements will result in slow loading sites. Not using visual composer will result in a faster website but you will be better off optimizing your site rather than not using the theme blocks and grids. You will get better speeds just by optimizing your site rather than just removing VC. Try to optimize your webste using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Test your site with google page speed and gtmetrix beforehand, and then test after the optimization. After you increased your speed try to simply disable visual composer and then test again to see how much the speed increases and if it;s worth it.
Thank you!
Using the radio button, I should be able to revert back to posts from static page. I did this, unable to modify the template using the theme editor.
OK, so I will modify the static page using the limited Visual Composer. I suppose I could upgrade this in addition to paying for the template, but I can’t afford that right now.
Maybe you can tell me how this works:
In classic mode: Homepage latest articles > General > Sidebar position. How do I unselect the position? I want the sidebar to load. This allows three selections, none show the sidebar.
Hi!
How can i hide the wordpress articles and sidebar from the homepage.
I have designed my homepage using the visual composer but the wordpress articles and sidebar are additionally shown at the bottom of the page.

Hi
Please use this guide to set your homepage:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
you can use visual composer to create your own page layout and then set is as a homepage.
Thank you!
Sure.
The homepage without visual composer will look depending on the post style you choose. It is basically a list of all your posts in the latest to oldest fashion and pagination . Depending on the module you choos it will look like these examples:
http://screencast.com/t/gPwk8CtFEJBq
http://screencast.com/t/sSP3VoyqQ
http://screencast.com/t/IIpvmpdQn1Ky
http://screencast.com/t/A2apxXGmQb9W
http://screencast.com/t/kB8v4S3Yfz
http://screencast.com/t/TCuV7baGPy
etc.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello sportescu,
First of all, please try to disable all 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. After this process, if your problem is still there, please let us know.
Thanks.
Hello josflachs,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using some untested plugins which can influence the proper functioning of the theme. 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.
Thaks for your understanding!
