Hi
I’ve checked your site on both Chrome and Edge browsers and found some js errors in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/x1hKboeQPNqH and they seems to affect theme functionality.
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again. Also turn off minimization for css/js as they are not tested and may affect the theme functionality.
Let us ow how it goes!
Thanks!
Thanks for replying, as of now the visual composer is working fine. The Facebook counter in the social counter is showing zero.
Hi Bogdan. With all the issues surfacing all at once I’ve become somewhat jaded and frustrated. I have methodically followed the tutorials and nothing happened. Eventually I manually downloaded the new theme unpacked into a folder and then uploaded the Newspaper folder via FTP to then overwrote the appropriate folder on my server. Have eventually updated theme to 7. Set about changing look to Black Demo. More issues (It just has to be something I have configured wrong – dammed if I know). Still have issues with social icons not displaying correctly. Background black color not displaying at all. Web site is http://pigsfly.info. Following tutorial to create page and then use Visual Composer. More issues clicking an item does not install that item into page. Bob
Hi
I’ve checked your site and found a js error which breaks search feature on mobile devices: http://screencast.com/t/xs7hTuArn
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, deactivate the child theme, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and the privacy poilicy works as expected. If you use the mobile theme, please note that using visual composer will not work anymore on this theme as visual composer was removed for the mobile theme in order to get better speeds. Please use the secondarry mce editor that appears on every page to create your pages for mobile without the use of visual composer.

Thank you!
Hi,
The mobile theme will not show the elements on the desktop by default. It consists of 2 elements, a big grid that shows featured posts (they must belong to the predefined ‘featured’ category) and a latest articles section where your latest posts are shown. It;s pretty much like a category archive in order to get maximum page speed on mobile devices. It does not use visual composer at all.
Please make sure you have posts on your site so it has posts to display. (your site has no ‘posts’ only instagram widgets)
You can read more about the mobile theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you
Hi
The theme is tested and should work fine. I assume that this happens due to a plugin conflict or because of some cache files. Try to deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Visual Composer author says:
Hello, this message can be disabled by theme author, but as theme author mentioned – you don’t need to activate VC there.

So i guess i’m officially requesting theme author to disable this message?
Hi
this issue is mostly caused by js errors. These are caused by plugin conflicts. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test your site again
Thank you!
Hi,
The latest version of VC was added as soon as it launched. The plugin does not update automatically though, you have to update it yourself by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then access the theme panel and hit the save button if you haven’t after you updated. If the problem is still there afterwards, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect the issue. Also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hello jazarian,
If you want to add this type of feature, please notice that it is a Visual Composer element and it could be added from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/fBUCgWOk4B
Thanks.
Hello marcosrieper,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of Social Counter (4.0) for the latest version of our theme (7.0), clear all your caches and then see how it works. Also, for good results, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
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, provide the link of this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
My current install is:
WordPress Version 4.5.2
Newspaper Theme version 6.6.3
Currently when I try to edit a page VC frontend editor does not display my content. I can switch to classic where it shows my data but switch back and nothing shows.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, other than upgrading to version 7 which I will attemp to try over the weekend.
Regards,
Dave

Hi,
I have checked your site and it seems the permalinks are wrong but this does not happen on our side. The permalinks on our testing platforms and localhost and all other instances of the theme are ok, so maybe there is an issue on your end. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn file if you use it. Also please try to re-save permalinks.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello kosashi777,
In order to display this widget in your mobile view, please check the theme panel and ensure that this option is enabled from there, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/0sIbBtjs Also, if your problem is still there, please check your console and see if you have some js errors through it. Please try to disable all your untested 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.
For more information about this, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/login-how-to-enable-user-registration/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hello,
The ads for the mobile theme have to be inserted in the designated ad spots here: http://screencast.com/t/tk6chiBbQGM5 (just the ad code not a visual composer shortcode)
Newsmag will get updated as well, there is no doubt about it. We always try to improve our themes as much as we can, but we are still a small team and we cannot update 2 themes at the same time unfortunately.
Thank you for your understanding.
Hello valerianidesign,
Please ensure that your latest update was loaded successfully. So, to be sure, please try to make a fresh install and update the theme only through FTP because this is the surest method to do an update. Also, after doing that, please install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme (Visual Composer 4.11.2, Social Counter 4.0). Before doing an update, please ensure that you have removed your old theme to avoid the installation errors.
For more information about theme update, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
Make sure that you’re using last theme version available on themeforest, V 2.3.7 and also update Visual Composer plugin at V 4.11.2 which is included i them,e’s path. Here you can check our update documentation for more details in this regard: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Also try to deactivate all others plugins except VC, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.
Let me know how it goes and if you still can’t manage to solve this please provide your site url so I ca have a closer look.

Hi @bigredfro
Please check our documentation for more details regarding update process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The page layout won’t be changed after theme’s update as the settings are stored in database. However if you made any changes in theme’s core files these will be lost so you have to re-add them again.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and found a js error in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/bZz6ZZlk I am not sure why this error appear as is not related with our theme but could affect its lazy load animation. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello all,
@ankush, please notice that the mobile theme does not render the Visual Composer shortcode for your blocks from your pages but only the text with the Big Grid and Related articles will be displayed for your frontend in mobile theme. This is not an issue, this is just the mobile theme behaviour. For more information about this case, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
P.S. If you need the further assistance in this regard, please create another topic and tell there the problem for avoiding the confusions from this topic!
@Bintmusic, unfortunately, this is not the right behaviour for your mobile theme. Please notice that this plugin will display you by default a Big Grid and related articles because this is the template structure implemented. Please check your plugins list and try to disable all of them which are not tested with our theme because it could create a lot of unknown issues in this regard and leave just our untested plugins. Clear all your caches and check the results. Also, please notice that the Big Grid display all the posts which are in Featured Category. Please check this category and add there some posts which you want to be displayed on your theme mobile. ->> http://screencast.com/t/CPmP3tlkuCo
For your second problem, if you are referring to the Related Posts for Post page and also Related articles, indeed is a mini-bug and we will solve it as soon as possible in next future update.
P.S If you need the further assistance in this regard, please create another topic.
@Ardhi, unfortunately, this is the actual functionality of our mobile theme. Maybe in the future updates, we will develop this plugin and we try to implement new improvements but we cannot say for sure when it will be. Thank you for your suggestions. If you have a lot of pages and if you want to display all your content from these pages for mobile mode, you can to disable the mobile theme plugin. It is just your choice.
Thanks.
