Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure you use the latest theme version and you have updated also the plugins provided with the theme(Visual Composer, Social Counter..) from the /plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-whats-included/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also make sure you configure the facebook social right using this guide(api key) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Thanks!
Hello eddycom,
1)I have checked your website and saw the problem with your Big Slide 1. This kind of behaviour appears when your posts have not set the feature image and the placeholder it not activated. Please try to activate this option and make sure that your posts have featured image activated -> http://screencast.com/t/s7nLeqQ6
For more information about these settings, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ Also, as a hint, you can try to find some plugins to get the first image on your post to be featured image. Most of our customers use Auto Post Thumbnail Pro in this case but please notice that is not a tested plugin and we cannot provide support for this type of plugin.
2)Unfortunately, I cannot inspect your banner ad because I cannot find it on your website. So, please ensure that you have entered the right code in each field from our theme. I have tested on my side with another Ads and it display as expected. Also, please ensure that your code supports 728*90 size in order to achieve best results. For more information about Ads implementation, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/ Also, I saw that you are using some untested plugins which could create some interferences in our theme and could cause some errors in it. 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.
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Try it out and see. I have provided the css code above if you want to test this, but it will not work as you expect. There will be other elements that break as our theme and all it’s elements need the fixed width on which it was built.
If you really want to have some elements full width, why not create them like so in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/CfU141YH99 and remove the sidebar. You can add elements to a 2/3 + 1/3 layout to look exactly like a sidebar.
Thank you!
Hello,
I have tested this on my end again but it still works as expected. Please make sure you save your changes and update your post. If certain settings from the back-end do not apply on your end, please try to increase your system status parameters by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You can also test this without any plugins to rule out any conflicts. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi
As the sidebar to be sticky on the content displayed with Visual Composer page-builder it’s required the vc_row container because the style oftd-ss-row class it’s applied on that container: http://screencast.com/t/uVO8q7Bis When shim plugin it’s used td-ss-row class does not appear in page source and the td-ss-row class won’t apply it’s effect.
The default sidebar it’s applied for the latest article part which does not require Visual Composer and the style for it it’s made different. When the option from theme panel is enabled a new style it’s added for the sidebar’s column. That style it’s added by theme’s js only if this option from theme panel it’s enabled: http://screencast.com/t/E4IWB6nZglXH
The smart sidebar was not tested to work with shim plugin. In order to have it working are required some customizations in plugin’s files. This is a complex task and unfortunately i can”t provide a solution now. At the moment if you want to use the smart sidebar the only way is to have Visual Composer active.
Thanks!
Hi
To exclude a specific category from a block you have to use the category id not category name, here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/zPqCw3Sx To get the category id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/hjxlo3EctF3r
Wen you’re using Visual Composer page-builder the sidebar set in page options will be displayed only on latest article part when page-builder + latest it’s used as a page template: http://screencast.com/t/btNJGCesn
For the part built with Visual Composer you can use a widgetized sidebar block: http://screencast.com/t/xF3RgsR4DASg
For more details about homepage setup and Visual Composer usage please check these links: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Thanks!
Hello willysawa,
Please notice that the width of the columns is the same for each column created by the Visual Composer (automatically set if you have not custom modifications) but the height may be different and this depends on what kind of element will be loaded in this place. All of this information you can find them in above tutorial about how to use Visual Composer.
If is not what you mean, please provide more details (with useful screenshot) so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. It’s most likely a plugin conflict that interferes with the css.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello fabinhoalmeida,
Your updating to our latest version of the theme surely does not affect your post count view. This kind of issue might be caused by your untested plugins. Please ensure that this kind of issue does not come from there. 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. It is possible as some untested plugins to create interference with the theme creating these issues. This is how it looks my post editor -> http://screencast.com/t/Yd8n6hke Also, please make sure that you have enabled Ajax count, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Yvy4xaK3
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
If you changed the theme, how can I see the errors? I do not understand exactly what the problem is. Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look at these problems so we can provide an answer. Please provide admin rights and please provide as many details as to how visual composer is not working. Also include a link to this topic so we can identify you!
Thank you!
Hi
I assume that you want to display ads in sidebar on homepage. If you’re using the Visual Composer pagebuilder to build your page then you can use a widgetized sidebar block to display the sidebar on page: http://screencast.com/t/zoEqR16j9tc – http://screencast.com/t/rGVDKJZgcc
If you’re nut using Visual Composer on page then the sidebar can be set from page options: http://screencast.com/t/4xpRcyHbfA
For more details about how to use Visual Composer and homepage setup please check these links: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance please provide your site url and more details about your issue and we will get back to you in shortest time.
Thanks!
I just discovered the visual composer has the 3 column with the sizes I want.
Take a look at punchng.com you will the middle column is bigger than the left and right column.
How do I swap the middle column to the left side
The site is http://www.universy.it –
I currently have installed a different basic theme because I can not change the home with visual composer. I accurate that on another site I installed the newspaper theme and use visual composer without any problem.
I would like to note that:
1) I managed to install the version 4.9 but the persite problem.
2) Point out that by installing the theme works but I can not edit pages with visual composer as the icon does not leave me to edit pages . Point out that in the mordpress menu appears visual link composer but without the icons.
Opening a page for editing with visual composer does not appear to me the visual icon composer
the bottom of the editing page wordpress I get:
Grazie per aver creato con WordPress.
Thanks for getting back to me so quick!
How come the sticky sidebar works when it’s the default sidebar as opposed to a widgetised sidebar block (with Visual Composer deactivated).
I really don’t want to have the Visual Composer plugin active. I normally just have the Shim on and everything has been fine. Why is the sticky sidebar the one thing that needs it even with the Shim / how can I get around this?
Thanks!
Hello there! I did not have the Ajax View Count on!!! Have done so now and am hoping all will be well; I have done the whole visual composer, clearing cache etc, but that didn’t work, so I don’t think it’s a plugin, although I may be wrong. Will keep you updated! Thanks so much.
Hi
I’ve checked your pages and noticed that you’re not using Visual Composer on them. Both pages are built within Visual Composer page-builder and the comments system works fine: http://screencast.com/t/vAwsQ1rOVw – http://screencast.com/t/GyjuzDAJ
When you want to display comments on pages make sure that this option from page editor it’s enabled: http://screencast.com/t/p9KLm1Cvd0 as by default for pages the options is disabled.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn. Then check your smartlists again. If the problem is still there, check the image captions and try to use simple characters inside them. If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect the issue closer. Also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hi
thanks again for your reply, and, don’t worry, I don’t get you wrong.
what I’m trying to say with my poor English is not that I need support for WPML or Types, but that the latest Newspaper release includes a buggy version of Visual Composer plugin (because, I repeat, it’s NOT a Newspaper bug what we’re talking about).
In the past months, in a very short time you’ve updated Newspaper many times: I would have expected a further update also for a new version of Visual Composer, because VC is a key part of your excellent theme, and the current version generates problems that I’ve never had before.
However, I understand that you’ve to test external plugins: I sincerely hope that the test would end quickly, because it’s really difficult to develop and maintain my sites under these conditions.
Thanks and best regards, Luca
Hello lpecchi,
Please do not get me wrong. We know about the existence of this type of plugin but we do not know about the functionality of this with our theme and we cannot say for sure if this plugin works fine or not with the theme because the plugin has not been tested with our theme, sorry. We cannot give support/technic information on something that is not tested with our product. Indeed, the latest version of Visual Composer is 4.11 but unfortunately, it needs some time until we officially launch this version of Visual Composer. The plugin has to be checked and it is necessary to adjust to our theme for better result and this lasts. Surely, we will introduce this in near future update.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello Vittorio,
If you want to use these Visual Composer elements and you want to have unique posts for each Block/Grid you have two possibilities in order to achieve as you want. First would be to use unique articles option for your page, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/AiRje2Gkoij (the unique articles do not work with pagination but only without it) or you can use offset method for your elements, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/d0v7ZVUAJUQB -> http://screencast.com/t/BKQs54zQCeji -> http://screencast.com/t/bdsx0l3b In both of cases you will not have posts duplicate.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
We are not aware of any VC bug. This plugin is required by the theme and is bundled with the theme package. It was tested on every level to work with our theme. Please try to disable all other plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test VC again. Please make sure you only install the plugin from here: http://screencast.com/t/eOUcAPnx . If you still cannot get it to work, please provide more details to your issue and a link to your website so we can inspect the error.
Thank you!
