I do not want to update the “newsmag” Core. Because, My current version is Good for Bounce Rate. I updated to latest version, I noticed Bounce rate is high 50%+. Normal Bounce rate is Max 4% for last 2 years. Then I downgrade the “newsmag” & its again upto 4%.
That may not make sense, but its true for me. This maybe coincidence.
So I just want to update the Virtual Composer. Is there any problem ?
Hello kamoe,
Please ensure that you have right installed the theme via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. First of all, please remove the old version of the theme and then install it according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ If you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN files and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Until now we have not encountered with this case, regarding on Wp Super Cache.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi Anna,
First of all, please disable the Visual Composer from the Plugins Area and then you will have to Delete permanently from there and then, from the Premium Plugins you will have to Install the Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thankas.
Hi
The indicated site uses Newspaper theme which have block 18 available in its features. Newsmag theme don’t have this block included in its patch at the moment, that’s why is not available in Visual Composer.
Thanks!
Hi
I am not sure why this happens but it could be a conflict between wordpress and some plugin. Try to deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

HI
Please take some time and carefully go trough theme’s documentation which can be found here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/ There we explained in great details all theme’s features, how to built the homepage, how to use Visual Composer page-builder and many other useful informations.
I’ve noticed that you imported say what demo without content which means that demo’s style will be applied over site’s content.
To build a homepage exactly like the one from our say what demo you can simple use this shortcode in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/ZwyXCXe6 – http://pastebin.com/9CACVfzE also use page-builder+latest as page template.
Let us know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi Anna,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.4) which come bundled with the latest version of required plugins (Social Counter 4.1 and Visual Composer 4.12.1). Please try to consult our documentation in order to update the Visual Composer. here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
This issue is mostly caused by plugin conflicts. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test the button again. Let us know how it goes. Also if you have any custom code in the theme panel or the child theme, make sure you remove that also. (make a back-up before)
Thank you!
Hello,
The latest version of visual composer was already included in newspaper 7.4 please update your theme using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update visual composer by using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hello,
You have errors in your browser console regarding the theme JS: http://screencast.com/t/y2oCRwBL7
These are usually caused by plugin conflicts.
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the slider again.
Let us know how it goes
Thank you!
You can ignore the activation messages as Visual Composer plugin comes bundled with the theme and you don’t need a license key for it.
Thanks!
Hi team,
We are upgrading Newsmag 3.0 and we have encountered an interesting issue.
Let me tell you what is happening.
We created a new Taxonomy called Lifestyle, and through the VC, the editor can select the type of lifestyle on the listing page.
add_action( ‘admin_init’, array( ‘VisualComposerAddon’, ‘extendLifestyleOptions’ ) );
static public function extendLifestyleOptions() {
// Retrieve all Lifestyle taxonomy
$terms = get_terms( taxonomies\LifestyleTaxonomy::TAXONOMYNAME );
if( !is_wp_error( $terms ) && count( $terms ) > 0 ) {
$dropdown = array(
‘Disabled’ => ‘disabled’,
‘All Lifestyles’ => ‘all’
);
foreach( $terms as $term ) {
$dropdown[“- {$term->name}”] = $term->term_id;
}
// Param to be added
$new_param = array(
‘type’ => ‘dropdown’,
‘heading’ => ‘Filter based on lifestyle’,
‘param_name’ => ‘adv_filtering_lifestyle’,
‘group’ => ‘Filter’,
‘admin_label’ => true,
‘value’ => $dropdown,
‘description’ => __( ‘If selected, will further filter the posts based on the lifestyle.<br/>Select DISABLED to disable the filter.’, ‘vc_extend’ ),
‘save_always’ => true
);
vc_add_param( “td_block_slide”, $new_param);
}
}
We can see the new dropdown being added in the VC. However, during the front-page rendering, the system could not identify “adv_filtering_lifestyle” parameter in shortcode_to_args() function under includes/wp_booster/td_data_source.php
We have never encountered this issue up until Newsmag 2.3.6 – only after upgrading to 3.0, things start to be falling apart.
We do not want to downgrade to 2.3.6 again – as we want to keep up to date.
What possible go wrong. For your information, we have been running a child-theme of Newsmag, and includes/wp_booster/td_data_source.php has been cloned in the child-theme
Hello ozgurtaskaya,
For other users who access this topic, please notice that after several investigations in this regard have concluded that this type of issue come from WP Supercache which is not fully compatible with WordPress 4.6 and that’s why this problem occur. We hope that WP Super cache plugin will be updated it as soon as possible and that problem will be fixed. Notice that this issue appears and on Mobile Theme from Jetpack when the caching plugin is active.
Please notice that we have reported this issue to Jetpack and we are waiting for an update from them. Until that, you should use our workaround posted here -> https://github.com/Automattic/wp-super-cache/issues/132
Also, please try the theme without any untested 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 in the theme.
Thanks for the message and sorry for the inconvenience!
Just like with the ad display how you can add an ad code to show X amount of paragraphs into a post can I do the same with server side include?
What I am trying to achieve is to have one file (a php) which I have designed using Visual Composer to be placed on every posts within the site.
Visit http://soperth.com.au/10-things-can-find-perth-12715 on a mobile device and scroll down to see the now trending box. I want to be able to automatically have this box appear on all posts that I have created and when I want to change the content that is within that box I can simply change 1 file and then upload it to the server to show different content. Ultimately I want to be able to do this so I can increase pages per session and for advertising purposes promote a sponsored article throughout the whole site – increasing traffic to the post.
At the moment I am currently having to manually copy and paste the following code to display the box on mobile only. The DIV include_pad is to allow for padding between the box and blog copy.
<div class=”ttd”>
<div class=”include_pad”>[insert_php]
$FileLocation = “/include.php”;
readfile($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].$FileLocation);
[/insert_php]</div>
</div>
Hi There!
I am Yogesh using Newspaper theme. I customized my homepage using visual composer and other settings. I have a perfect page now. Though, when I visit the site it’s kind of “boxed”. How can I make the header, top bar, and footer full to width of screen?
Screenshots attached here.
TagDiv tries to hide that nag screen, which Visual Composer folks include to try to sell you add-ons and other stuff, which is dumb since this is a legal bundled edition that does not need to be ‘activated’ with the WP Bakery folks. You can just ignore it, as super annoying. You don’t actually need to do anything.
We keep getting this notification: “Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer”
When we go to “Activate” we get an error message “No licenses found”
How do we remove this error?
Thanks
G
It is automatically updated through WordPress. Where can i get the newer version of WPBakery Visual Composer?
Cheers
Hi TagDiv Team,
May I please ask you for your help with the following?
I have been trying visual plugin composer yesterday and it did not work. All the new pages got ”record not found” instead of having any content. I deactivated the plugin so I could see there was a conflict as soon as it was off on the pages content appear. So when the plugin was on, the content did not appear beside the message ”record not found”. Not sure what is happening as the plugin itself was asking for a registration number to unlock all the features.
Can you please help?
Thank you,
Anna
Today I’ve update my theme to 7.4, How about WPBakery Visual Composer? There is an update available but can’t install it because it’s not licensed?
I was wondering if the latest version of Visual Composer was included in 7.4. I noticed VC got an update a few weeks ago but it’s not included with Newspaper as of yet. Thanks!
Hello AdamAL,
First of all, please make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme with the latest version of required plugins (Newspaper 7.4 with Visual Composer 4.12.1 and Social Counter 4.1) in order to achieve best results. Also, if you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN files, clear all your server cache (and if you do not have any access in this regard, please request this to the hosting provider to clear all of these) if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
For your latest problem, please try to regenerate all your thumbnails using this guide -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
