thanks Chris – I’ve tried that. As soon as VisualComposer is activated, the site disappears and I get the 500 error and can’t access the site again. Only way is to FTP in and delete the JS_Composer folder to get the site back responding.
Hello,
Unfortunately the sidebar cannot be aligned to your content because they are dynamic elements. The contend gets changed in so many ways that an alignment between the 2 is impossible. You can chose from a large amount of blocks and you can chose the excerpt length which also takes up space. And to top it off, the sidebar can be sticky so the content will scroll with the page. You cannot have it aligned as you showed in the screenshots. Sorry. The same applies to the categories. The theme was not designed to have the sidebars align to the content in any way. You will have to do that from the content if this is what you wish. You can try to have the same block in the page and sidebar so it can have the same amount of space between the articles and use visual composer separator if it helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
We have fixed this fb social counter issue in latest theme version, V 2.3.5 and latest version of the social counter plugin, so please make sure you use the latest version of the plugin, V 3.1 and that you configure the fb counter like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ Also you have to use the lates version of Visual Composer included in theme path, V 4.9.2: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
You can make sure you use the latest version of the plugin by removing it then install it form theme’s > plugins section: http://screencast.com/t/W0nHgyA1US and for the theme log into your themeforest account then go the downloads section, you find the latest theme version there, download it and update it using the update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately it will not work like that. The easiest wqay to do it is to use a visual composer block instead. Create your block on a dummy page and set the sorting option you want to it. Then get the shortcode and implement it like so by replacing the array and the query _post function http://screencast.com/t/EO4kUS1j7
Thank you!
Hello ldquocbinh,
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: 6.6.5. 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 6.6.5 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.
Once you followed all the above steps properly and made sure you have not missed anything, (and the social counter still does not work), then you can send an email to contact@tagdiv.com with your login information so we 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!
Hi,
The ad will show in the file you place the code from the topic in. That topic showed how to ad custom ads in posts. On pages, you do not need to edit the theme files as there is an adbox element from visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/gyvcnqN1smDm You can use this as every other element and position it to your preference.
Thank you!
Hello Bogan, I have tried to use the youtube video playlist in the visual composer component on newspaper 6
When I add the videos as directed by the instructions, no videos show.
I emailed support for visual composer and this was their response. Can you help me as far as is this a newspaper component?
Thanks in advance,
Sam
The “Youtube video playlist” is not our standard element. It is most likely added by your theme author to enhance the theme functionality or is coming from a third party add-on. You can check our standard elements/features by creating an online demo here: http://vcpreview.com/
I would suggest you to get in touch with the respective author so he can guide you with the same. Kindly check.
Thank you,
Be sure to delete the old folder via FTP first, then upload the latest version of js_composer included with the version of theme you’re updating.
So on the home page of my website, near the top I am using the “Tabs” under “Structure” in Visual Composer. Under each of the four tabs I’m using, there’s a Block 14, with each tab’s Block 14 having posts from a different category.
(Hopefully that much makes sense, but have a look if you need a more clarification.)
The first tab (“Reviews”) shows up by default and anytime you click on that tab, the browser window will scroll so that the reviews tab is at the top of the window. However, when you click on any of the other tabs, the window scrolls past the tabbed content and stops basically underneath of it, making a viewer have to then scroll back up a couple clicks to see the content in the tab he or she just clicked.
Is there a way to fix this?
Hi there,
since trying to update my site with the latest version of VisualComposer, my site renders redundant and returns an HTTP Server 500 error. The only way I can revert is to switch themes.
cheers

Um… go to your account on themeforest; go to downloads.
List of products you have purchased.
For the Newspaper theme, click the download link, and from the drop down, select “all files.”
This will download to your hard drive.
Open the zip file.
Find the plugins folder.
Open the js_composer zip, upload the folder to your plugins folder.
You can subscribe to update announcements for the theme by checking the box “alert me about updates” or whatever it says on the download page next to each product you bought.

Hi,
I have created pages using visual composer. How do i add breadcrumbs in the pages? In theme manager, there seems to be no option to add breadcrumbs in pages.
Even if I set visual composer blocks side by side they don’t show up side by side, they show up below each other.
No matter what type of blocks I use they show up below each other rather than side by side.
Showing my issue with Block21 + Categories
Visual composer settings I use:

Hi, I installed Fashion demo but I don’t find where is set background image for static News page. I understood that is strictly related to visual composer template, surely for this block: [td_block_homepage_full_1 sort=”featured” td_filter_default_txt=”All”], but where can I edit the images?
B/R
I too had same problem. So for fast fix, I have downgrade my Visual Composer to earlier version and it start working fine.
First, I’m sorry about my bad english. Second, My facebook social counter did not work correctly. My facebook has three likes but the social counter is zero. I’m using yoast seo, wpbakery visual composer, WP Super Cache, WP Smush, WordPress Ad Widget,TinyMCE Advanced.tagDiv Speed Booster,tagDiv Social Counter,Statebuilt Facebook Page Like Popup,Slider Revolution,Regenerate Thumbnails,Loginizer,Font Awesome 4 Menus,Envato WordPress Toolkit, Akismet. Hope you guy replay soon. Thanks you.
Please ensure that you do not have any additional customizations in your child theme which may affect the theme behaviour and also, 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. Since the error is encountered only in your child theme and in the main theme everything works as expected, it means that the child theme (the customizations of this files) is the culprit. I have tested on my side using a default child theme and everything seems to work as expected.
If you try my advice and then your problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so I can further inspect you setup page. Also, please provide the link of this topic so I can know who you are and what the issue is.
Thank you for the message!
Hi
I’ve checked your site again and noticed that you made some changes over a row from Visual Composer. By changing row’s width all layout will be affected: http://screencast.com/t/f5regdI2Oz8Z as it was initially designed with a fixed value by 680px. Try revert all changes made in theme’s files, deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Thanks!
Hello dwcp,
I have checked your Whatssup icon and I saw that this not working…it is so strange. Please ensure that all the files are updated correctly…I suggest doing an update again or also you can replace only the icons folder -> http://screencast.com/t/6pmwFBb7 from our pack and see if your problem is still there. Also, I saw that you have an error in your console -> http://screencast.com/t/jsljaNMnoIh…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.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello Arafat,
It happens due that you are using untested plugins which create some issues in our theme. 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.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
You can add your custom ad in an ad box in visual composer and then get the sortcode for it. For example
[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]
Then you can use the do_shortcode function like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]')?>
Then you can insert this code directly in one of the post template files: http://screencast.com/t/XcVZQFqLiS
Add the code where you want it to appear: http://screencast.com/t/JiV0WVpXx
Thanks.
Hello,
Please check the sorting option you added to your blocks. They might not be sorted by ‘latest’
If this is not the case, you can try to increase the system status parameters https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
If the problem is still there, then please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files (if you use it)
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hello,
1) You simply need to ad the ad title in order to get them aligned: Please use the adbox for your ads:
http://screencast.com/t/pp2ggA0uB5y (It requires the use of the ads section in the theme panel.)
2) You can add a custom css class to a row in visual composer and then use css to style it
for example: http://screencast.com/t/52xQ9CzHPL and then use css to add borders:
.mycustomrow{
border:2px solid black;
}
It will require further customization though
3) That is because you have a different implementation of the title. You use a text with title and since it’s a different element. Again you will have to use a custom class on your row because this css will affect every other text with title:
.td_block_text_with_title {
padding-bottom: 5px!important;
}
after you add the custom class you would use the code like so:
.mycustomclass .td_block_text_with_title {
padding-bottom: 5px!important;
}
4)You can use this css:
.type-post .entry-title a, .type-post textarea{
color:black!important;
}
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello Sayeed,
I have tested on my side and everything seems to work as expected with block 15 as sidebar. 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. Also, if you have additional customizations try to delete them and install without them and see how it works for you.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thak you for thew message!
