Hello pixelonline,
The 500 error is usually a server side error meaning that there is something wrong but the server couldn’t provide more information about the problem. It is a general error usually caused by configuration issues with the websites programming, PHP or system permissions.
I found here some useful information about possible reasons on this errors and a few tips in order to fix it: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/500servererror.htm Also, 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 conflicting plugins. Also, please try contacting the hosting provider, tell them this problem and they should be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_map_get_attributes() in /public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_row.php on line 32
I deactivated all plugins and the culprit is WPBakery Visual Composer current version 4.5.3
Please advise
hi,
could be possible to add a php code to a page built with visual composer in order to recall a post title?
thank you
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you have a very strong cache which may affect page’s content. The cache may come from from your server so try to contact you host provider and ask him if there is an cache on the server. The cache it’s very tricky, even if you deactivated the cache plugin some pages may still be delivered from cache. Try to enable WP Super Cache again and delete the cache a few times then test the site again. Note that WP Super cache is not fully compatible with V 4.6 of wordpress but you can use the fix from this topic as a temporary solution: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/mobile-theme-does-not-work-properly/
There is a big difference between mobile theme and the responsive theme. Basically the mobile theme load a simpler version of the page, fewer resources are requested and the page load faster. There is no support for shortcodes in mobile theme and when the server prepare the html it’s skipped a lot of php code from Visual Composer, the queries made to the database are fewer and the response time is smaller. Also page size is smaller on mobile when mobile theme plugin is active.
However the difference may be negligible if the site is not properly optimized. Our theme was developed to be fast but to hit a good score may be needed additional customization.
Check this topic for more details in page speed regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/ The thread is from Newsmag theme but the same applies for Newspaper.
For more details about mobile theme and how it work check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ Basically the mobile theme works like this:
– on homepage displays three posts from featured category fallowed by latest article list.
– on other pages displays only the content from mobile editor.
When mobile theme is deactivated you will have the same content displayed on any device, there is no need and additional setup for the page.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Andrei L tagDiv!
Hello eizaz,
1)Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you mean but I guess that you want to change the Big Grid style to be as Slider, right? Please notice that Big Grid SDlider is only one and you cannot change the style of it. This feature is available if you are using the Visual Composer and you can change it from this -> http://screencast.com/t/A1eZTgFD9ib All the settings about this Block could be accessed from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
2)Please notice that word cold be changed from your back end when you edit the Block. You will have to change the title of the Block, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/aIgma5RpO
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Moforka,
Please try to disable all the untested plugins if you are using something like that, 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. Please check your hosting provider and request them to clear all your server caches. Also, if you are using the CDN system, try to purge all the files. It is very important to have the minimum requirements for your dedicated server for achieving best results in theme. Please check this to be in the parameters which are presented in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hello,
Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Then try to install a theme demo and see if the issue is still there.
Let us know how it goes and provide a link to your site if you still have trouble so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hello Fiat Ministry Network,
I have checked your website and I saw that you have a problem with your mobile theme in that your featured images are not displayed. Please try to re-download the latest version of the theme which is still 7., but the fix was implemented after 7.3 was released. Please download the theme again, delete your current theme and install the freshly downloaded one. The version is the same but the fix will be present.
As an alternative here is the fix needed:
Add this code in the mobile theme’s function.php:
td_global::$td_options = get_option(TD_THEME_OPTIONS_NAME); //read the theme settings once
It should look like so: http://screencast.com/t/ke18K42lG
Please notice that our theme has 2 alternatives regarding on mobile -> mobile theme and mobile responsive mode.
The mobile theme concept has been designed to have an own layout for the front page which is different than the desktop version. The mobile plugin intends to display the Big Grid with three posts in the top of the page, some text if it will be added in Mobile editor from Visual Composer and the Latest Articles at the bottom of the page. For more information about this mobile theme, please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ So, if you want to have a similar layout with the desktop mode, you will have to disable this plugin and the theme will be switched to the general responsive mobile version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
You do not need to buy visual composer as you already have a full working free license. The activation message can be ignored: http://screencast.com/t/juPVZ4vL33
The fixed sidebar can be activated like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thank you!
Hello sainthilaire,
I have checked your website and I did not saw any problem with your mobile theme. Everything seems to work as expected. To rule out any conflicting plugins, please try to disable all the untested plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN files if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello frenzygh,
Thumbs up for your project! I am glad that you begin to understand how you can create your website using our theme. So, please notice that our theme uses some thumbs for displaying the featured images for each post and if your image is too short than that thumb, will appear those gray margins -> http://screencast.com/t/aWWq9JTS As you can see in next example, you are using and image which is less than size of thumb, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/mPUNYhypAvV
Please notice that our system is based on cropping and not for resizing of images. Our cropping system to the center to top. Please notice that the cropping system of our theme is the same for all featured image and this will crop the image from the center to top. Please notice that you cannot change very easy this system and if you want this, please notice that is not a simple task and involve custom work. If you want to better understand this process, please check this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/resize-thumbnails-to-proper-size/
If you need more assistance in this regard please provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer. Also, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi @missnancykb
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, just to make sure that there are no conflicts between the theme and other plugins. Let me know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide your site url so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
I have installed Newspaper theme very recently on my website tomatoheart.com and hence I have all the updated version of all themes and plugins. My Mobile plugin is active and I can see it’s settings under “Plugin settings”- “Mobile Theme”
I do have made some changes here like Search button colors or menu background colors but when I visit it on mobile – I only see the mobile responsive version of the desktop version, not the mobile plugin version.
A few days back, I did notice the mobile plugin versions ( with three featured and then latest articles) but it never remains permanent and now I can’t even see it.
Are there any things which I should enable or disable after installing and activating “Mobile Plugin” ? Since I am editing/modifying various things, hence I have disabled super cache and CloudFlare integration options, hence there should be no issues because of cache or cookies.
Also, please tell me what is the right way to use default default mobile responsive version of this theme rather than using mobile plugin version? Should I deactivate the plugin ? How much speed difference is there between mobile plugin version and mobile responsive version? If it’s very little or negligible , I would love to use the mobile responsive version with all visual composer elements.
3. Is there any way to design two different homepage design using Visual composer , one for mobile and other for desktop as we have options to do the same with other pages like Contact pages, about us page etc ( Mobile editor and desktop editor) ?
4. If the mobile plugin is disabled, still I have re-write – pages like ( about us, contact us etc) in mobile editor section of pages or it’s valid only in case , I have enabled mobile plugin?
Please help me to understand and correctly setup the mobile theme for my website. Thank you.
Hello Irreverent Gent,
Please notice that the parallax/responsive effect can be made only using the Visual Composer and that effect it can be maintained only for the stretch row on the full image and not for another image, sorry! If you want to achieve similar parallax effect using the CSS, please try to search some online solutions in this regard or you can read the following topic because there you will find some steps about you can achieve this -> http://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_parallax and could useful for you.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi @rida
You can use blocks to sort posts from each page. For example in page 1 you add block 1 and choose in filters category1; http://screencast.com/t/BzaQQ74DhD9e For page 2 you can do the same, just change the category: http://screencast.com/t/8PwvC4KCIz2 You can also use page-builder+latest as a page template and choose the category from post loop settings: http://screencast.com/t/F2b8jkN9LXy
For more details about how to use visual Composer and how to built pages please check these links: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-page-templates/

Hello StigR,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3) with the latest version of required plugins (Social Counter 4.1 and Visual Composer 4.12). Do you are using the Wordfence security plugin for your website? So, if you use it, please try to set up in Learning Mode for better results. If your problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect your setup page. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can easily identify you.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi, I am also currently experiencing this problem. I bought newspaper theme a couple of weeks ago, and a few days ago, I realised that the images were not showing on the home page. I haven’t even gotten a chance to start editing yet. I’ve simply uploaded the demo so far and it is experiencing this same problem. The revolution slider I added to the home page is also not visible. I have also tried deactivating a range of plugins, including lazy loading ones, all to no avail. Visual composer is version 4.12 and newspaper theme is version 7.3. I checked the forum and all the fixes are before I even bought the theme, any help please?
Hi,
if it has already occurred with the version 4.6 they have already reported.
But also WPBakery Visual Composer is not yet verified.
hello,
I had a problem,
I made a home with 3 columns, like this http://www.screencast.com/t/uJXI9iqhCXu
In visual composer is like this http://www.screencast.com/t/WLUPlmV8Ekwg
The problem on display in mobile responsive, column number 1 always appears first like this http://www.screencast.com/t/zQW2sc1c
I want the column number 1 in visual composer appeared later. I want the column number 2 appears first.
Is there a way to sort that column in display on the mobile responsive?
Weird. Our issue was totally due to Visual Composer, and not the theme.
Also as a tip for system overloads:
a) disable xmlrpc
b) install the “limit login attempts” plugin.
Thanks Chris and Andrei for info.
Anyway I did not had visual composer plugin enabled.
This issue is with theme only.I will use latest theme and check.
Hello, please here is something you must know to assist me further
1. I have switched from blog mode to static page. Here is proof(http://prntscr.com/ccjhqf)
2.I have created the page with visual composer and adding the grid element. You can see from the screenshot(http://prntscr.com/ccjirq)
3. Right after creating it, I previewed it and here is how it looks like(http://prntscr.com/ccjl8t) exactly how I want it to be. Here is even the link to the page (http://frenzygh.com/212-2/)
4. My main worry is, “Why is it not showing on the page as I want it to look like”?
5. Can I give out my login details to check and fix that for me, please?
Thank you in advance
