Hi,
Sidebars have a different issue altogether. WordPress will strip sidebars of content if you use any strange symbols or language specific characters in the widget titles. Pleas use only standard characters and no symbols in thew widget titles as they will not be seen on the front-end. Also please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files as plugin conflicts can also create this type of issue.
Thanks.
Hi,
You have to delete the files for visual composer. If the option is no longer available in the dashboard, then you have to access your files via FTP and delete this folder: http://screencast.com/t/HnUayOX0BT
Thank you!
Hi,
Smartilsts will ignore article inline ads by default. You can make use of the smartlist ads: http://screencast.com/t/iPn5Ylni or manually insert ads inside the post content by using the visual composer shorcode of an adbox. Create a dummy page and add an ad box on the page. Then access the classic mode and text mode of the mce editor. The copy the shortcode inside your post content and the ad will display inside the smartlist. Unfortunately you will have to add it manually for every smartlist.
Thanks.
Hello all,
Please notice that our team only provide support for our themes and we cannot provide custom work. We have a big list of fixes, improvements and suggestions to implement and also, we not have such time to do custom services at the moment because we are a small team, sorry! Usually, we recommend developer from studio.envato.com.
@Cybi, please try to make a fresh install of the theme and then only install the visual composer version that comes with the theme. Please remove any other version from the plugins section (disable and remove) and then install it from here: http://screencast.com/t/DwZN21u0VR Also, you can try to make a new install from scratch, follow this steps and then check if you will get this error.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello samyprez,
The latest version of WordPress (4.5) ‘broke’ the Visual Composer and create some errors through plugin’s functionalities. Please notice that you need to do the update to the latest version of Visual Composer (4.11.2), clear all cache and check the results after this.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
The theme does not control Jetpakc’s plugin actions. Please make sure that you have set up the plugin correctly, also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and Jetpack, clear all caches and test again. You can also test thi on a default wp-theme and check how it works.
Thanks!

@rodrigochiquito I’ve checked your site and images are loaded fine now: http://screencast.com/t/nvM3fjLuy
@galollero I’ve checked your site and images are loaded fine now, however I’ve noticed that you’re using an older version of Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/zCd1rbLo If you have any issues with page editing update the plugin at V 4.11.2 which is included in theme’s path, clear all caches and test again. Here you can check our documentation regarding the update process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
@ybs also update Visual Com poser plugin.
Thanks!
Hi Ivan,
Thank you for your kind words.
Thie smart sidebar is a standard feature of the theme and it can be activated by adding the td-ss-row class to the row in visual composer that contains the sidebar widget: http://screencast.com/t/Grp1UJew
You can read more about smart sidebars here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thank you!
Hi
The current theme’s version available on themeforest is 2.3.6 and there is also included last version of Visual Composer plugin, V 4.11.2.
Thanks!
Hi
Please update the theme and Visual Composer plugin at the latest version available on themeforest as your images aren’t visible. Here you can find our documentation for more details about the update process: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Also deactivate all plugins except Viual; Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test again.
Let me know if you need further assistance on this.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can use this css to change the author name on block 7:
.td_block_7 .td-post-author-name a{
color:red!important;
}
However, this will affect all block 7 elements. If you only want to target a particular block, you need to assign an extra class to the row in visual composer and then add the class at the beggining of the code like so:
.mycustomclass .td_block_7 .td-post-author-name a{
color:red!important;
}
Thank you!
Hello,
The new version of visual composer introduced this activation requirement but they seem to have disregarded the free versions of the plugins provided by themes. This message can be ignored as the free version cannot be activated.
Thank you!
Hi
I am not sure why the date is not translated on your side as I’ve test this in my end and works fine: http://screencast.com/t/SRS5JQq44 – http://screencast.com/t/QvsgurOf8jVh
Try to make a new local install on your computer, with the latest version of WordPress, the current version of the theme available on themeforest, V 2.3.6, Visual Composer plugin and and check if the problem is still there.
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.

Hi,
This issue was caused by the new version of wordpress. Please make sure you have the correct version of visual composer: 4.11.2 and then clear all caches
If the problem is still there please provide a link to your site so I can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hello Harrison,
Please notice that the latest version of WordPress ‘broke’ the Visual Composer and you need to install the latest version of this (4.11.2). For updating the theme, you have 3 way to do it -> installing via FTP (recommended), via WordPress or automatically update via Envato Toolkit. For more information about these ways, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-automatically-update-newspaper-theme/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you for your understanding!
do I have to use visual composer to create that front page?. I looked it at and was very frustrated. lol
looks complicated…
Hi Everyone!
I was planning to editing my Homepage last week
and Visual Compose was working alright.
This week however I’ve been experiencing this issue:
http://screencast.com/t/l21JmJqor3JD
I can edit my page via Visual Composer.
Can someone help me out?
Kinda new to the whole Newspaper Theme by the way.
hello , what can I use to replace an alternative to the tabs ( visual composer – deprecated) ?
thank you for your suggestion galollero,
I have done that, However I still have no images!
Actually my themme was already the version 2.3.6 and the visual composer is at the new version too.
I dont know what is happening…
I been working on this problem for the last couple of days with no success…. im very worried. when i open the page to make adjustments the place where all the options of the visual composer does not show. Please help
Hi,
Just after the new update, I have noticed that the visual composer is not working. Can you please help to troubleshoot the error.
Thanks!
Hi,
I said the problem was happening in my local installation because it is there that I have upgraded to the latest WordPress version, 6.7.1 of the theme and 4.11.2 of visual composer. It doesn’t happen on my website because I haven’t upgraded yet. With reference to my website, I have the thumbnails selected. In fact I have all of them selected, even though I don’t need all of them.
What it is happening on my local installation is that when I install version 4.11.2 of visual composer, block 8 goes all strange: (a) thumbnails don’t fill the container; and (b) the whole block moves to the right. See the attachment at http://screencast.com/t/MrHrYGOo
It cannot be a plugin conflict because I don’t have any, except VC. When I go back to the previous version of VC, block 8 rectifies itself. And all my photos are big as well. So there is a conflict somewhere between the theme and VC.
Andrei
you might consider adding a new section in the right menu under “Documentation” (below that).
New section:
TOP ISSUES
> WP 4.5 Images Not Loading
> WP 4.5 V. Composer Not Working
> Activate/Update Visual Composer
I’ve seen something like this on other support forums; it really saves the same 20 posts from customers who don’t know how to “scroll back” in forum to find answers to the same topic, so it gets posted over and over and over. Makes it hard for others to keep on “actual” issues that might impact us.
Just suggestion — would save you a ton of support time, to simply have a single locked “answer” for any breaking issue each time it happens vs 50-100 Q/A posts for identical issue.
Hello there,
thank you very much for your nice and easy-to-customise theme. We are very happy with it. 🙂
Is there a way to enable “Smart Sidebar” feature (affix /sticky/ sidebar) on Widgetised Sidebar (in Visual Composer)?
Many thanks for your time and help,
Ivan
Hey @andrei_luca,
So I did what you said, updated both the theme and Visual Composer. I’ve cleared my caches (caching plugin, my personal computer, and my CDNs) and I’m still not able to save changes. When I click “Save Settings” that animated square just stays there. I’ve already gone through and checked to see if it was a plugin that’s interfering, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Im not really sure what else to do.
