Hello cs2870,
As you know our blocks were been made using several modules. Please notice that from Visual Composer you cannot add modules but only Blocks which contain some modules. Please check your Theme panel->Block Settings->Category Tag on Modules/Blocks, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Zfl5VmzgV and there you will see what modules were been included in blocks.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
after nearly one year, the time has come, where I have to decide if I update from Newspaper 5 to Newspaper 7 or just get out of this whole thing.
Just a few points about the past:
– I just had my site three months running with a lot of work from my programmer, when the big update came to version 7. As it would have been again lots of programming work, we decided not to update.
– You, the programmers of this theme, promised me and others, that there will be security updates and we could use version 5 further on. There was no security update, no help when Visual Composer had to be updated because of security problems and now the final point is reached with the need to update to WordPress 4.5.
When we looked into the version 7 on a test server, we found out that many things have changed. Also some small things, that will cost a lot of time to fix. So why did you change the numbering of existing blocks and modules? Now everything is shown in a wrong way, even if the blocks and modules still exist to select (but with another number). Why did you change the font and deleted the old font? Lots of things we don’t understand. And on top of it all, we still don’t understand, why such a big update was needed, as WordPress didn’t change much. Could you please tell us?
So as you are building up your own pagebuilder, the next big problem seems to be around the corner. When will it be implemented instead of Visual Composer? Maybe you can understand that I can’t afford to pay for the work of my programmer every year to get right what you changed. And I also can’t spend time every year to implement the changes on existing pages and archives.
So you would help me a lot, if you could say something definite on your further plans!
Thanks
Mario
Hello everyone. I am a new user of this theme, and wow… amazing.
I just have one simple question, and I’ve been looking for the answer for several hours fruitlessly.
In the theme panel:
/ theme fonts / modules and blocks – article title.
It lists 19 modules. I am trying to figure out what a module is… so that I know which module is affected by the font change. When I’m in the visual composer, and I add an element, there’s a bunch of things I can add, but none of them are modules, they are blocks 1-25, and a bunch of named elements.
I’ve found a reference on this site somewhere that a block is a combination of modules. Where the heck do I create blocks from modules, or see a list of modules so I know which one I’m tinkering with?
Thanks for your help, but I do not currently have a cache plug in.
My plug ins are Jetpack by WP and the visual composer. I did not manually install a cache plug in.
Is there one that is automatically installed? Or lives within my existing plug ins?
Thanks!
im trying to edit the demo
when i go to pages, it will not load the composer
i reinstalled demo + re-installed composer + activated it
still not loading
Hello ikidolanan,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you want to achieve. Please try our demo here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ and see how your theme should be work. If your theme does not work as our demo, please notice that you have some trouble with it and you should try to reinstall the theme, using the latest version of it -> Newspaper 7.2, Social Counter 4.1 and Visual Composer 4.12.
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you mean, also, you can provide some useful screenshots so I can identify your problems, if these exists.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello dede,
1)I do not exactly understand what you mean but please keep in mind that the above code which you have added is the shortcode generated by our Visual Composer and this type of code you can see if you switch the VC editor to the classic mode -> http://screencast.com/t/6UueHBWEOlvc
2)You can set this option from Block Settings, through adding the name of the plugins which is generated by it, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/7TqTtA1umGA6
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Visual composer and revolution slider have implemented this activation message but disregarded free versions such as the one we provide. These versions do not come with any activation code nor can they be activated. Please ignore these messages as you cannot activate these plugins, but you have access to their full features and we will provide updates for theme along with the theme updates.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please update your theme to the latest version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also update visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The test the theme panel again. If the problem is still there, disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. You can also try to re-save the permalinks. Then test the panel again.
If the problem is still then, it could mean the process of moving to ssl was not done properly.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello halcoolllc,
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. I have checked your source page and I have noticed that you are using a lot of untested plugins which might interact with the theme code and cause a lot of unknown issues. To rule out this case, please try the theme without these and check then the results. If you problem is still there after this, please try to make a new clean install from scratch with the latest version of the theme and check the results.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello thud,
Please notice that the sidebar for your homepage could be set only from Visual Composer, using the 2/3+1/3 layout and using the Widgetised Sidebar, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ejOgvIP7x When you are using the page template ->page builder+latest articles+pagination, the sidebar will be affected from here -> http://screencast.com/t/4uscdeGE
For more information about u=our sidebars, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about what you want to achieve so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,
Why do you say we do not provide any solutions? I provided the guide on how to update the visual composer plugin on 2 different occasions: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/urgent-2/ and https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/visual-composer-25/
Please read the guide and install the plugin from the main the e archive you download from envato: http://screencast.com/t/APJSZ5fSrPFb
If you have problems installing the plugin please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin (user and password) so we can login and see if there are any problems with it. Please also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hello Schuchi,
Please be more specific on what you mean. Please provide more details about your problem, also you can provide some useful screenshots so I can be able to provide a more accurate response. Also, please ensure that you have updated all your required plugins -> Visual Composer 4.12 and Social counter 4.1
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The visual composer plugin cannot be updated from the dashboard or the envato toolkit. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hello johnsout,
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 the conflicting plugins. Also, if your problem is still there, please try to make a new clean install from scratch, with the latest version of the theme and see how it works.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
That’s the thing, you can’t. If there is no visual composer, there are no blocks. You cannot use blocks on the mobile theme. If you want to use blocks, please remove the mobile theme plugin and use the standard responsive version of the theme. The mobile theme does not use visual composer, blocks or other resource consuming elements in order to have top loading speeds. It;s a bit of a design vs speed choice. If you want to have complex design using blocks, sliders, etc., go with the responsive version. If you want to have speed, go with the mobile theme.
Thank you!
Hi;
I have already the [ Version 7.2 ] with – new: Visual Composer plugin updated to the latest version 4.12
but, when I try to active Visual Composer ————–>
No licenses found
But I bought Newspaper via Envato yesterday … so, please, if anyone has an answer …
Hello thoinayonine,
Please notice that the plugins will not be automatically updated. Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newsmag 3.0), downloaded from Theme Forest because this packet comes bundled with the latest version of required plugins ->Visual Composer 4.11.2 and Social Counter 4.1. Please try to update all of these, using the FTP method because this is the surest method in this regard. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your message!
Hello haronno,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and Social Counter. You will have to remove the old version of your Social Counter from your panel and then you will have to install the version which comes bundled with the theme (Social Counter 4.1 and Visual Composer 4.11.2) from The Premium Plugins, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Q0wbi1lW5r Clear all your caches and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi, Is it possible to hide the blog header for a certain category and only use visual composer to build the entire page, yet still have the featured image and excerpt show on the homepage when I link it?
I want to create a few competitions so I don’t want it to look like a blog, but I want to keep some of the blog functions such as showing other similar comps and the sharing facilities etc.
Many thanks in advance.
Ryan
I updated to the latest version of Newspaper via the Envato Toolkit. I don’t see any Visual Composer update under Newspaper > Plugins, though in my regular Plugins screen, I am told there is an update. What is the procedure for updating the plugin through the WP Dashboard when you have Envato Toolkit? I’m not supposed to do it through the regular plugin screen, correct? Ideally I need a straightforward update procedure that I can describe in detail to my client so she can do updates herself. I recall that last time I tried to update via the regular plugins screen, everything went haywire. Thanks.
The visual composer is not working. please advise
Thanks a lot.
If I well understand, I have to update the theme via FTP to activate Visual Composer …
Thx
