Hello Christianvideostv,
In order to achieve best results, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. After you have done this, please consult the guide below and then check your social counter and see how it works.
1) Please make sure you have the latest theme version: 6.7. If not, you need to follow this guide to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
2) Having the latest version of the theme is not enough if you do not update the social counter as well. You need to remove the current version you use: http://screencast.com/t/4jvRwNzK and then install the version of the plugin that comes with the 6.7 theme: http://screencast.com/t/9AKKURjTjX
You can recognize if you have the correct version of the plugin when you see the new app key settings: http://screencast.com/t/CIXxklBanNl If you do not have these settings in your social counter it means you do not have the correct version.
3)You need to follow this guide to get the requirements from facebook:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Please keep in mind that the social counter is not a live count. It will update once every few hours.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Unfortunately the category template (the top part that includes the category tags) cannot be replicated in visual composer. That part was created specifically for the category archives.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can achieve that in visual composer as all the block elements can be simulated on a page. Unfortunately you cannot replicate the category template style (the top part) that includes the category tags and the ‘latest’ dropdown. That part is created specifically for category archives.
Thank you!
Hello bikingculture,
Please check the list with all the thumbs which are used in the theme and enable the thumb 696px*0 if this is disabled. Also, if this is enabled and not work, 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 you need more assistance in this regard and if your problem is still there after this advice, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so I can further inspect the issue. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can know who you are and what the issue is.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello sebastian.schipper,
I have checked your website and I saw that you have a lot of custom modifications in theme and also, you are using a lot of untested plugins. Please notice that our theme has not been designed to have the full width…as I can see into your website, you have changed this and therefore, all the layout of the theme will be damaged. If you want to have good results in our theme, 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. Also, if you have additional customizations, try to revert to the default settings. Please notice that we cannot provide support for your customizations and nor for your untested plugins which interfere with the theme and could cause a lot of unknown issues in the theme, sorry! If you want to display more levels in our theme, please notice that is not a simple task and require a lot of experience in this regard and if you are not aware of the steps, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Maybe there is some sort of plugin interference. I see you have some extra classes on your pages so maybe they affect the search in some way. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the search again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
I delete VC plugin,
and
installed js_composer.zip.
why appear message?
There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 4.11.1 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?
Hi,
the best way to insert ads through the php files is the do_shortcode function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
This nifty function will render all visual composer shortcodes including an ad box. So the best way to do it is create a dummy ad box on a page and set it up the way you like (you must make use of the ad spots in the theme panel) and then simply enter classic mode and text m,ode to get the shortcode for the element.
Then you can use the function like so:
Mind the php tags as some places already have them open so you do not need them there.
FOr your specific case with the search results, you can add the code like so: http://screencast.com/t/jSjEOEbrtu
Hope this helps.
Thank you!

[ Version 6.7 ]
– new: Visual Composer plugin updated to the latest version 4.11
– new: Revolution Slider plugin updated to the latest version 5.2.2
– fix: Theme Panel fixed the structure for categories that have multiple branches(subcategories with their own subcategories)
– fix: Visual Composer 4.10 – Video Player resize problem for aspect ratio 4:3 and 2.35:1
– fix: removed some old Visual Composer detection code from td_wp_booster_functions.php, it was causing an error in certain cases
– fix: improved the Visual Composer detection code inside the default page template file, it was triggered when the shortcodes didn’t have unique names(ex. Woocommerce shortcodes)
– improvement: Authors box widget/block – added user roles option, now you can set it to display only the desired role(s) – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
– other: to keep the theme size under 8MB we removed the Revolution Slider install from the Newspaper->Plugins section. You have to install it manually – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
– other: removed unused code from “page-pagebuilder-title.php” template file
When I use the Newspaper theme search function, any page that was created with visual composer shows some crazy results.
It shows all of the shortcodes and gibberish used to create the VC pages.
Example:
http://i.imgur.com/GMsVrK1.jpg>
Posts return normally, it’s only for visual composer pages, which we have a lot of in our site.
How can I prevent this from happening?
Here’s the staging site if you want to try for yourself.

Hello waqas,
You can use Tabs element from Visual Composer and for each tab section you have to insert the Video Player, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/5H5H5y23wC6 and then you have to take this code and place it in your post editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/O3BcsOHV -> http://screencast.com/t/HSb0Jso7 and then you have to use a bit of CSS code for a good results. Please use the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
.vc_tta-container .wpb_video_wrapper iframe {
height:100%!important;
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/2SUfXpvqkl
Please notice that this kind of Visual Composer element was not built for such cases and can appear some errors in the theme which involves more adjustments in the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Thanks for the clarification. My thumbnail upscale plugin is on but for some reason it doesn’t seem to work. Not your fault :-). Looks like it may be easier to just create a bigger size image for the biggest grid as the issue could be with Visual Composer and not with the theme.
Hi,
What version of the theme and what version of visual composer do you use? Maybe you have an older version that does not have these options.
Thanks.
Hello heisenberg234,
Yes, it is okay in your case. Above, I gave you an example with do_shortcode because this kind of method offers you the way to add the ads anywhere on the site and you can use it when you do not have an option from Theme panel.
If you need only 2 columns in your post content, you can set it from editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/bhNecroT and if you need more than 2 columns, you have to create the code from Visual Composer editor and then you have to copy/paste the code in the HTML source of the post, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/UJfUJPnz -> http://screencast.com/t/rnuVk21z6oQj -> http://screencast.com/t/hlK5SRP4SoA
and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/bo0oqWUQcb
Hope this helps!

Hello hgarg604,

Hi Greg,
Visual composer was not tested on posts with our theme especially on custom post types. We cannot provide a solution as we do not recommend it for posts. Visual composer was adapted to work with our theme but every version needs to be tested as the code is custom and features need to be adjusted. That is why the plugin is bundled with our theme and that is why we are the ones that provide the update as it needs testing and sometimes adjusting. We do not recommend using any other version of the plugin except the one that comes bundled with the theme as it may not work properly.
Thank you!
Hi,
1) The method Alin posted works as expected. The code adds a condition to check for a certain category. He used ‘vogue’ but you can change it to your own category name. You can ad multiple conditions if you know a bit of PHP: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.if.php
I’m not sure how saving is not possible. You need a text editor (we recommend notepad ++) and access to ftp. Then simply edit the file, add the code and hit the save button. (Please note that if you use a child theme, it will not work as none of the files inside wp-booster will work from the child theme)
The names of the post templates are specified here:
If you cannot get it to work, please note that custom work falls beyond what support can offer you so you might want to consider hiring some help as we cannot offer customization services. We can only point you in the right direction.
2) Regarding the AccessPress Social Counter plugin, we have no clue of it’s functionality as it’s not tested so we cannot provide a solution for it.
3)We do not recommend upgrading to pro as all of the features visual composer has to offer were tested with our theme. If the pro version provides even more features, there is a chance they will not work as visual composer was adapted to work with our theme. That is why we provide it bundled with the theme and we provide the updates ourselves.
Thank you!
Hello lewis-wass,
I have checked your website and I saw the issue with your featured image (it seems to be a front-end issue). I suspect this problem being from your untested plugins which interact with our theme and could cause these type of issues. 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. Also, please try to disable the lazy load from your panel if this option is active, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/tBpvdpDr9MRB
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Yes,the latest articles section does not appear in the visual composer editor. You can change that with this css:
.td-pb-article-list{
background-color:grey!important
}
Thanks.
I have an odd problem. My site has a number of different custom post types. When I go into Visual Composer, in the Roles Manager and set it so that Visual Composer is accessible to these other custom posts types, it works fine for a while but then always resets back to just being available on Page post type.
I go back into Roles Manager, select the other post types again, and then it works until it resets itself again. This can happen once a day or every couple minutes. There doesn’t seem to be any logic as to when it happens.
Related to this, I bought a paid version of Visual Composer in case I need to get support from them. How do I integrate a paid version into the site? I tried several ways: add via wordpress backend upload and via FTP, but neither method worked and in fact caused 500 server errors.
Thanks
Greg
Hello Bogdan,
I’m having problem saving changes made to the td_wp_booster_functions.php. I added the codes as instructed, but saving it is not possible, how do I go about this.
Hi, I want to start working on the code,
$current_categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
foreach ($current_categories as $category){
if ($category->cat_name == ‘Vogue’){
$td_default_site_post_template = ‘single_template_6’;
}
}
$current_categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
foreach ($current_categories as $category){
if ($category->cat_name == ‘Vogue’){
$td_post_theme_settings[‘td_post_template’] = ‘single_template_6’;
}
}
Ok, the category here is Vogue, what is the name of the post template used. I am thinking ‘single_template_6’ right?, just want to know the name of the post template and can I use it for more than one category
Secondly, I uploaded AccessPress Social Counter plugin, how do I make the widget available on the Elements window so I can use it in the visual composer.
Thirdly, Is there any benefit of upgrading the visual composer to pro?
Thanks for all your help.
We recently added the plugin Visual Composer – Social Streams With Carousel (http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-social-streams-with-carousel/11471294) to our website. Once activated it causes some errors to the theme:
1. removes back to top button.
2. removes read more pop up module.
3. removes category filters on block’s
Wondering if you had any idea on why this would be. Still waiting on a response from plugin developer.
Thanks,
Hi,
Thanks, the first one worked perfectly!
for #2, I’m trying to set the same color to everything on the page, visual edit isn’t letting me change the color for the “latest articles” and down. Vis composer isn’t showing an option for changing the color to that (so it’s the same color as the block above it). http://www.screencast.com/t/7g7IMWLQmd http://www.screencast.com/t/KhXxzC4nrLyP
I’ll have to get back to you on #3 until I’m approved for ads.
Thanks!
Hi
Please make sure that you installed the child theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-child-theme-support/ clear all caches and test again.
Regarding the plugins installations only Visual Composer it’s a required plugin, others are optional. If you still can’t manage to install them via WordPress try the ftp method. For more details about this check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/just-installed-last-newsmag-version-but-cant-update-visual-composer/ I offered there a solution for Visual Composer but the steps are the same for each plugin included in theme’s path.
Thanks!
