Hello MarioBoriassi,
Please notice that HEADERS BACKGROUND COLORS affect the global header for blocks like this -> http://screencast.com/t/M0rovbBD4zyp if not set values for background colors from Visual Composer. If you want to change the main color header for your site you have to change the color from this field -> http://screencast.com/t/gCMyb8cj and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/VhbhzIvC9e
For more information about Theme colors, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-colors-introduction/
Thank you for the message!
Hi @jassingh
Try to increase the php memory following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ also during the installation process for the demo deactivate all plugin except Visual Composer then check if this error still appear.

Thanks!
Hello,
This depends on how you implement the social counter. If you implement it in visual composer on a split row like so: http://screencast.com/t/XaqWUM24Lx1X you can use the adbox element in visual composer. You can use it as any other visual composer element and position it the way you like.
If you implement the social counter on a sidebar, again you can select the adbox in the widgets area as well: http://screencast.com/t/hytUBadNWk
You can read more about ads in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/
Thanks.
Hello MasteringHealth,
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. I have tested on my side this kind of feature and works fine for all posts. Please try my advice and see how it works. If your problem is still there after this and if you need more assistance in this regard, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect the issue.
Thank you for the message!
Hello srisurya,
I suspect your problem comes from your untested plugins which you have used on your side. 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. It is necessary to follow this advice because it is possible that you plugins to interfere with our theme and could cause this kind of issue (js error). Also, please try to disable the lazy load effect from your Theme panel like this -> http://screencast.com/t/oTYiJsrse and see how it works after this.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
Please make sure that you’re using the latest version of the theme available on themeforest, V2.3.5 and also the version of Visual Composer included in its path: V 4.9
In terms of speed we have made a page speed guide and covered the most important aspects that google notifies you of (image optimization, js/css render blocking and more..) and based on which it classifies and grades your site’ regarding speed. You can find it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/ Also you may find some useful information here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please try to update your theme to the latest version by using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
If you still have this issue, please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Sometimes, wordpress itself has issues with special characters. If you use for example special characters in your sidebar titles, your sidebar will be stripped of widgets by WP. Please try to avoid special characters as much as possible.
Let us know if you still have this problem.
Thanks.
Hello,
You can select the featured category for posts and then use a visual composer block to filter this category. This way you can have featured posts appear on your homepage. If this is not you mean, please provide more details.
Thank you!
Hi
The import function won’t work properly from Newspaper to Newsmag because the selectors are different from one theme to another. For example if in Newspaper theme you have a background color set for main menu by importing the style in Newsmag this option won’t work. Some of the options will e recognized bot some will not be because of the difference between the css selectors.
The pages built with Visual Composer will be recognized by Newsmag theme as the shortcodes are the same. It won’t be recognized for example a block 18 because in Newsmag theme this block does not exist, but the commune elements will be recognized fine.
Also you will have to regenerate all thumbnails as Newsmag uses different sizes then Newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Before making any changes make sure you do a full backup to your current wp-install and the database also: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups This is a security measure, in case something goes wrong you can always get back to the previous version.
I hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
This sounds a lot like a js error. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and reset cdn if you use it. Most likely you have a plugin conflict that interferes with the lazyload animation.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi
The theme has been developed to be fast but it may still need configurations on this matters so test your site using google’s page speed insights testing tool(or gtmetrix) and make sure you follow the guide instructions and methods then test your site again.
First of all deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test your site page-speed again. In terms of speed we have made a page speed guide and covered the most important aspects that google notifies you of (image optimization, js/css render blocking and more..) and based on which it classifies and grades your site’ regarding speed. You can find it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
If you decide to use the speed booster keep in mind that is an optional plugin and it was designed to work only with tested plugins – http://screencast.com/t/FXXDNtqfz in case you use other plugins it will be automatically disabled, so please check System Status – http://screencast.com/t/XAYYQgfRvEC To make it work with other plugins you will have to alter the code and remove/comment this – http://screencast.com/t/RZLIOPUNdqh Also you may find some useful information here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/website-memory-problem/
Regarding your the mobile theme module from Jetpack plugin that was not teed to work with the theme and if it’s enabled it loads a different theme on mobile devices. For more details about this check this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/newsmag-broken-on-mobile/
Thanks!
Hi
My site is:
A couple of hours ago I resolved an issue I was having with images not showing on mobile by turning off LazyLoad animation. The issue I had is described here —
Every since I turned off LazyLoad, the menu and search feature in mobile are not functioning. When you press the icons in mobile nothing happens.
Actions so far:
Deactivated all non-tagdiv plugins except Visual Composer.
Installed WP Super Cache and cleared cache. CDN is not enabled.
Thanks
Richard

No images (apart from the logo in the header and footer) are visible on mobile devices.
Issue occurs with both iOS and android mobile phones.
Images display normally on Desktops and Tablets.
Actions so far
Deactivated all non-tagdiv plugins except Visual Composer.
Installed and ran the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin.
Installed W3 Total Cache and ran ’empty all caches’ and ‘purge CDN completely’.
Activated previous theme ‘Themify Magazine’ and checked mobile view – working normally
Reactivated Newsmag theme and checked mobile view – all images (apart from the logo in the header and footer not appearing
About 40% of our traffic is on mobile devices other than tablets so this is a serious and urgent issue for us
Thanks,
Richard
Heh. They gave me a little “red/gold crown” for helping out 😉
I usually pop in here for a little bit while waking up, or while waiting for something to FTP to server, and got sick of watching the “progress window” .. so little bit of a time waster / karma points / or whatever. (Right now I’m uploading bunch of mods to the CMS I’m working on for our corporate site trying to integrate a YOURLS shortcode system into ‘printing’ the code into the social share buttons “on template” …
I disappear for long periods, but since I have multiple sites, and have been doing webdev for 21 years and WordPress for 11-12 years now, I’m usually at the “front” of the line in delving into new stuff like mod_pagespeed, http/2, AMP, or whatever. I guess I was also one of the folks who helped make the “shim” happen for disabling visual composer that Radu did, since one horrible series of VC versions crashed our server. Been around here with them longer than most, I guess.
Anyway – sometimes I have a “highly experienced” comment based on having to deal with a problem for “years” that many here haven’t had to suffer. Of course, some people get mad when I disagree with their comments (whining?) — but not too many of those, thankfully.
So, anyway — gingerbread cookies accepted in my virtual tip jar!
Back to the salt mine!
Hi there,
I have an infinite scrolling home page with a Widgetised Sidebar that should be sticky– and it is, but only when Visual Composer is active. When it isn’t active, the sidebar is not sticky (even with the Shim).
I’m not getting any console errors corresponding to it and am having trouble figuring it out.
Here is the link to the website for reference: futureboyfriends.com
The supposed-to-be sticky sidebar is beside the infinite scrolling block below the video playlist.
Thank you if you can help!
The setting right below Admin is supposed to have rights to edit, change posts, unless you have plugin or function which broke that. Admin level allows adding plugins, removing plugins, changing main settings, changing theme. The user role below that allows all content options except main “admin” functions.
Summary of Roles
Super Admin – somebody with access to the site network administration features and all other features. See the Create a Network article.
Administrator – somebody who has access to all the administration features within a single site.
Editor – somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users.
Author – somebody who can publish and manage their own posts.
Contributor – somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them.
Subscriber – somebody who can only manage their profile.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
You can create a new user role, or change the setting of each user role.
But “editor” by default can make changes.
To change the settings for Visual Composer, which is not part of the theme or WordPress, you can change the user roles for Visual Composer also.
There is a wealth of documentation for VC, which is worth reviewing at some point :-0
https://vc.wpbakery.com/video-academy/control-user-group-access-visual-composer-wordpress/
https://vc.wpbakery.com/blog/advanced-user-role-management-in-visual-composer/
Hope that helps 🙂
Make sure you increase the default memory in your wp-config.php file. Visual Composer uses a lot of memory, and by default WP assumes you’re using a text-only theme like those included with the WP install.
Default is 40mb and needs to be 96mb or higher.
Hi Chris – error log gives me this
[12-Mar-2016 11:24:35 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method WPBakeryVisualComposer::getInstance() in /home/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_wp_booster_functions.php on line 1139
Hi
I want to deactivate & hide the Newspaper tab in Admin Panel for other Admins on my website so they won’t be able to change any of these settings at all. Since I need to give other users full access to create new pages & posts using Visual Composer I need to create other users as ‘Admin’ & not as ‘Editor’. Editor user in my site is unable to create new page or post.
Can you tell me how to achieve this?
I liked this theme a lot & in next month also I am going to purchase one more for my personal website. In that also I need same setting. If not possible in this version I request you to make such provision in next upgrade.
So what do your error logs say?
Server out of memory, CPU overloaded ?
Try further optimizations that can overload site
a) disable all pings/ XML-RPC
b) disable visual composer, and use the SHIM plugin from Radu (see my optimization thread and archives); disable loading VC on post pages
c) make sure you have plenty of RAM allocated to WP (e.g., big site, 256M vs 40M makes huge diff)
d) make sure you have system in place to stop overloads from bots, like the limit login attempts plugin that blocks IPs from bots trying to guess password for admin
e) [ etc ]
I have a problem with speed. Page load speed is very slow and the total page size is up to 3.5 mb in gtmetrix.
After I disable Visual Composer speed is perfect and size too. However the appearance is not as it should be. Could you please help me?
Hello pasqualino77,
I have checked your website and I saw your problem with the sidebar. I suspect this issue that comes from your untested plugins which you are using and which create some interference between our theme and this kind of plugin. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Always, when you have some errors/issues/bugs in the theme, please compare your site with the demo version and check if its are found in our demo. If these are found in demo means that is a real problem in the theme, otherwise the issue only comes from your side (customization, plugins, etc).
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi there …
I am running the newaspaper theme on http://www.1-2-family.de .
Now I am thinking about switching to newsmag.
Reasons are simple:
Our magazine is just a magazine (including news) but first of all it’s a magazine.
But: Is it possible to switch and import the styles and options from newspaper (with the import function)?
And what about things like visual composer built homepages and stuff like that? Will newsmag recognize this?
Best regards
Torsten
Hello,
You can add an image on a row in visual composer like so: http://screencast.com/t/RzYGk3Dhvs
Then you need to assign an extra class to the row so you can target it with css: http://screencast.com/t/tw1jAKzptg4
And then you can apply a top padding to the content:
.myextraclass .wpb_column{
padding-top:60px;
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/dxzbFvOx3mq
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello JohnyKrew,
Unfortunately, if I do not have your website URL I cannot provide you a more accurate response. Please notice that on our demo, -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ all of this works as expected. I suspect your issue comes from your untested plugins. 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 this, if your problem is still there and if you need more assistance in this regard, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect it.
