Hello, I’m customizing a page, using the HTML module of Visual Composer (to put some “<div class=”custom class”>etc.) and some custom CSS in the chide theme’s CSS.
I’m using custom layout (e.g. 1/4 columns etc) styled with my custom CSS, could this lead to unexpected problems?
I mean, I’ve noticed that most of the layout of visual composer are grayed out. If I create them with my CSS code is this a problem?
Hello,
Unfortunately visual composer is not available on category pages. Categories can only be customized through the theme panel. Alternatively you can use static pages you create with visual composer to replace categories and use 301 redirects between the links. Make sure you do not use the same name for your categories and pages as it will be bad for seo.
Thank you!
Just trying to wrap my head around this. I clicked the Visual Composer Backend Editor and Visual Composer blocks and options are at the bottom. I noticed that this not how it looks in the tutorial videos. http://screencast.com/t/gd4bJ2KE

Hi Bogdan
I’ve followed all the steps you’ve recommended, but can’t see any change.
Noticed that if I try to edit my homepage and click on Visual Composer it goes to a link to buy the CV plugin.
Thanks, Dan
Hi,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files as you may have a plugin conflict that is affecting the theme settings.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi
My site switched to Newspaper in 2015 and found the set up of the theme pretty easy, using Visual Composer and other elements to design my homepage – http://www.tottenhamblog.com – and post templates – http://www.tottenhamblog.com/2016/07/12/done-deal-spurs-finally-sign-vincent-janssen/
I now urgently need to edit both my homepage and post template layouts but can’t get to the page where these can be altered. I’m not sure if it’s me just being incredibly stupid (extremely possible) or whether there’s been some loss of functionality.
The site is up to date with WordPress and on Newspaper 7.2. I updated Visual Composer yesterday also – which incidentally seems to have stopped my social buttons in the sidebar from displaying.
Can anyone help?
Hello,
If you already created the tab element from visual composer, you can then use a text box element inside it and place your content inside. If you want to use tables, you can create html tables with this online tool and then copy the code for it: http://www.tablesgenerator.com/html_tables (add the code in text mode in the wysiwyg editor)
Thank you!
Hello,
Please use this guide to increase your memory allocation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Plugins can also affect this so please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the upload again.
Alternatively you can also test this on a wp default theme like twentysixteen to rule out theme interference as well.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi,
There is no issue there. You simply need to enter the visual composer builder like so: http://screencast.com/t/ZYvZQ9GRqsx7 and you will have access to the visual composer blocks and options.
Thank you!
Hi
We didn’t tested file upload with CF7 and I can’t provide an accurate answer in this regard. When I’ve checked the indicated link I’ve found a js error in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/hiXOSasrVejT This error breaks the jQuery for CF7 and the form do not work as expected. Please make sure that you follwed the steps indicated in plugin’s documentation when you set up the shortcode: http://contactform7.com/file-uploading-and-attachment/ also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and contact form 7, clear all caches then test again.
Thanks!
Hello Moforka,
There is no activation code for slider revolution as it is a free version and only paid versions can be activated and updated automatically through the WP dashboard. The version we provide cannot be updated from WP and it cannot be registered as there is no activation code for free versions. You can use the plugin without activation as you have access to all it’s features. The same applies to visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/sTrvApWU7I4
Thank you!
Hi,
Unfortunately we cannot say for sure if the implementation you use is compatible with the theme or not. We only recommend our own Instagram widget: https://forum.tagdiv.com/instagram-widget/
If your implementation worked before, try to identify what was changed since then. Maybe a plugin you installed, an update you made (automatic updates are the worst as it could have been a plugin update that caused this but if your updates were set to automatic, then it;s hard to figure out which one broke it)
The best thing to do is disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test the Instagram feed again. Unfortunately if the problem is still there, I won’t be able to help as I have no idea of how you implemented the feed in the first place and customization is not part of the theme support unfortunately.
Thank you!
Hi,
The block settings are not found in the visual composer plugin settings. They are found on the page edit itself. When you add a block on a page. Please access your page containing the elements and press the green pencil button that appears when you hover over the element: http://screencast.com/t/yKSSu8uJUQxt
The settings you want to change are page specific. The setting cannot be found in the general settings of the plugin.
As for the registration for the plugin you can simply ignore it as mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi,
The activation from visual composer can be ignored as the plugin is a free version and cannot be registered as we cannot provide as there is no registration code for the free version. We mention this here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
You can try one more thing before scratching everything and starting over. Try to rest your database with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-reset/
It will however delete any posts/pages or content, but reinstalling everything from scratch will have the same effect so it;s worth a shot.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello Psicorockgia,
I don’t know about what kind of social icons you are talking about. Please provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer. Also, please 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.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I have added your exact post on my end but the videos are working as expected: http://screencast.com/t/FURfluuxPBE Please disable all your plugins excepot visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the post again.
We do not recommend using visual composer on posts, but this should work. As I see from your screenshot there are visual composer shortcodes not getting rendered by visual composer at all. Please make sure visual composer is active on posts as well from the role manager: http://screencast.com/t/t811kFWK8Xy
Thank you!
HI
We’re sorry for this bed experience and for any inconveniences you have had using our theme.
I’ve double checked the sidebar’s functionality on BudyPress pages and it works fine on my side, here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/T2Yo0jv6MFL – http://screencast.com/t/85qxXxMJ2RK3 – http://screencast.com/t/sXlYYfOL5Rx
I am not sure why this is not working on your site but you can try to deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer and BudyPress active, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again. Also make sure that you’re using V 7.2 of Newspaper theme.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hello techsabi,
First of all, I want to thank you for your kind words and we are happy when we notice that our customers are very happy with our theme.
1)Please try to send me the screenshot so I can understand what you want to achieve. So, if you want to change the sidebar title, please notice that you will have to do this only from your backend when you edit the sidebar, from Widgets area from Theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/KGljjB0oy6
2)I have tested on my side the Twitter sharing button and everything seems to work as properly. Please try to do this from our demo and check the results. So, 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. It is possible that your untested plugins to affect the theme and cause a lot of unknown issues.
So, if is not what you mean, please provide your website URL and also some useful screenshots so I can understand what you want to achieve.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello indebuurt,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and Seo Yost plugin 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 our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
I installed Tech News when I go over to the pages and edit the News Page I get the code in the visual tab. How can I visual edit this?
I just noticed that it shows “Please activate your copy of Visual Composer”
and when I tried to follow the steps to activate it, it’s asking me to pay additional $34 for Visual composer license? what’s all this? why do I need to pay again??
Do I have to purchase separate license for Visual Composer before I can get to that screen shown on the documentation?
Please advise
thx
Oh, by the way … a little detail,
I also tried to reinstall the Visual Compose plugin. My WordPress control panel says it is installed, but I get a message in the Visual Composer settings that I somehow still need to activate it. I thought it came with the Newspaper theme?
Thanks
Bob
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I already went through that document but the problem is what I see under “Visual Composer” in my wp-admin is different than the one shown on that doc.
Here’s what I see in Visual Composer menu:
http://prntscr.com/brzryz
How do I get to that screen shown on the doc?
Please advise.
thx
Hi,
We want to hide certain elements of Visual Composer, so its easier for our client to update a block.
For example on Block 9, we only want to show the “Post ID Filter”. Any hint on this would be highly appreciated, also custom development is welcome. Thanks!
Hi,
The WPBakery Visual Composer was Version 4.11 and now is Version 4.12
I see that if I desactivate WooCommerce Version 2.6.2 the Home page is working.
But this is not normal.
Could you please help me with this?
And also I want to update this plugin Slider Revolution.
Could you please tell me how?
Thank you very much
