Hi
I’ve checked your site and Visual Composer works fine now. For more details please check this tutorial regarding Visual Composer usage with our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
If you need further assistance please let us know.
Thanks!
Hello factoryitalia,
I have checked your website and I saw the problem with the mobile menu. I suspect this issue that come from your untested plugins used by you. It could generate some conflicts between our theme and these kinds of plugins and bring this error. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Check the results after this advice and let us know how it goes.
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
I have checked into this again and it really seems not to be the plugins . I was the one that inspected your website and who wrote you the email but at that moment I deactivated the plugins and everything worked (I was not lying though, it really worked at the moment). It seems the tabs do not work anymore even without plugins so I did a little more digging on the subject. It seems the tabs element from visual composer does not support complex elements. Tabs are complex elements themselves so another complex element such as a widgetised sidebar or sliders will not work inside tabs. Please recreate your tabs and try to not use the standard slider. You can use the ‘post slider’ not the standard slide element. I will add this on our list of fixes to see if we can come up with a fix for the tabs element and other complex elements from our theme. Sorry for the inconvenience.
As for the thumbnails, you can use the theme api to add or change a thumbnail in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbadd/ This is for advanced users though and it will require a bit of coding knowledge.
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using an older version of Visual Composer. To have the same menu you need to update at the current version included in theme’s path, V 4.9.2. Here is our update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
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.
Thanks!
Hello Renai,
I just tested this again and it works fine on our end.The link goes exactly to where it’s supposed to with no redirects. There could be another problem interfering with comments on your end. Possibly a plugin conflict so please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and clear your cache (also reset cdn files if you use it).
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
dear sir Visual Composer not working in my theme Newsmag
please check my attached

Hello,
We have recently moved the site to a Nginx server, everything is oeprational except for Feature Video, it will not create the feature image.
I’ve ensured following the steps here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image-or-video/
For Feature Video
I have disabled everything, zend ocpache, all caching plugins, I’ve disabled all plugins entirely except for js_composer.
We are running PHP 5.6.
And….
They sent me an email saying that the Tabs were working just had to find the plugin that was interfering . They are lying and I start to dislike support .
if you enter this link http://correiodoporto.com/#1455583884059-9f3bc572-c933 works but if it comes with normal nothing appears …
And since removed all plugins .. minus the visual composer .
Thank you for the quick reply. I am not seeing the section “Role Manager” under visual composer that I see in your image.
hi TagDiv,
thanks again for your awesome theme!
I just have a quick issue for you. The ‘Load more’ button in the content block on my home page has stopped working.
You can see my site here: https://delimiter.com.au
If you scroll down the page to the bottom of the article listing, you’ll see a ‘Load more’ button. However, when you click this button, it just reloads the same articles that are already there.
I think this is an issue stemming from Visual Composer somehow.
Is this an issue that TagDiv is able to fix?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Kind regards,
Renai
thanks!
I have one more query. I am trying to add a block 3 below the author box in post. I learned that this is possible with the visual composer and a shortcode. When i added the shortcode to the single.php file, the block 3 was added but it dislays 3 columns instead of 2 i.e 3 posts on 1 row instead of 2. How can i show 4 posts in 2 columns and 2 rows i.e each row should have 2 posts.
I checked this forum post where a user was facing a similar issue. https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/number-of-columns-in-a-block/. My blog posts already has a sidebar. Thus i cannot use a 2/3 + 1/3 layout
Thanks!
Hello,
It is possible by using visual composer. You can use the call to action element and create your button: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69c6mNvu8qE
We saw some great buttons created with this element and it does not need any third party plugin as you requested.
You can create the button in a dummy page and then use the shorctode to add it to your post.
Thank you!
Hi
I’am sorry if I didn’t understood your request correct. My previous reply refers at this question: how to display post types on the home page? By default our theme display only post, which is a post type from WordPress and I assumed that you have different post types registered or generated by some plugins and you want to have them displayed in blocks.
If you’re referring to the fact that some widget are missing from VC please make sure that all elements are enabled in Visual Composers settings: http://screencast.com/t/CqfghUEmzxw Some times the new widgets aren’t added automatically in Visual Composer so check the indicated settings.
Thanks!
Hello ioeaia,
The reasons to get this error can be many and diverse and I cannot recreate it on my side. First of all, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and instal only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. After these, if you need more assistance in this regard and if your problem is still there, please make a new topic with your problem, provide your website URL and more details about your issue so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
I have checked your website on multiple platforms and I have to say, there are very strange things I found. Google returns a pagespeed of 100/100 . That is a bit exaggerated. When checking with gtmetrix you get 30% https://gtmetrix.com/reports/www.hafawo.at/OdbrBvsV and on w3c validator: https://validator.w3.org/mobile/check?task=2016021708382976.mobile1&docAddr=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hafawo.at%2F
Google seems to be the only one that cannot test your site properly. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and reset cdn if you use it. Then check with these tools again. There may be some plugin conflict at work here.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi
I am trying to get the Facebook Social Counter to work following the instructions here:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
However the widget in visual composer doesn’t show the Facebook api fields, see here:
I am on what I believe is the latest version of both the theme (6.6.5) and the plugin (3.0) – neither say that they need updating.
Can you please let me know what else I need to do?
Thanks
Hi
I’ve noticed that you’re using the page template default for the contact page. When this template it’s used the default sidebar set in page settings won’t appear. You can use either the above method or use page builder + title to display the sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/IIG6Z5YyH1
It doesn’t matter if the contact form is present or not on the page. When the theme detect the default template only the content from Visual Composer it’s displayed. So if you want to display a sidebar using that template the only way is by using the widgetized sidebar block as I indicated in my previous message.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
I tested the copyright area again and the html does not get converted in any way. I could not recreate the issue. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and reset cdn if you use it. There might be a plugin conflict which interferes with the copyright links. If the problem is still there afterwards, then please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look at this. Please also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hello,
1) You could provide the link to the website you saw the slider on so we can see if the slider is a plugin or custom made.
2) You can do it with a page menu. As i said above, you can create any layout in a page then add it to a mega-menu. You can even recreate the one in the image you showed: http://screencast.com/t/T9GyF78NcZMy
You simply use content blocks from visual composer and sorting options: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
@Bogdan – I have the same problem since I just installed Newspaper 6.6.5 and VC 4.9.2 on my test domain.
The display looks OK, but VC backend doesn’t work.
I deactivated all other plugins and I have the System Parameters set. (see below)
The VC Block that shows up on existing designed pages looks like a rounded button, with no edit or properties.
(I hovered over one so you can see it in this screenshot)

Theme name Newspaper
Theme version 6.6.5
Theme database version 6.6.5
Server software Apache
PHP Version 5.4.33
post_max_size 32M
max_execution_time 300
max_input_vars 5000
SUHOSIN installed false
WP version 4.4.2
WP Memory Limit 64 MB/request
WP_DEBUG False
Thank you Andrei,
However that does not address my main question. Can you be so kind and explain to me why widgets outside of the initial Newspaper 6 installation do not appear in the Visual Composer? (I have tried 15 different widgets all from different companies and developers).
As I am reading the threads on this post, a gentleman from your company said installed widgets should appear in the Visual Composer, all I am saying this is not happening on my site and I need assistance fixing it.
Thank you for all of your time and consideration.
Hello,
I have checked your website and saw another problem besides the meg-menu. Your sub-menus do not work properly as well. They seem to disappear after a few hovers. Please disable ALL your plugins except visual composer. Plugins often create conflicts and problems such as this. You will need to identify the conflicting plugin but first you need to disable all of them to see if there is a conflict. Check your menu with only visual composer active.
if the problem is still there without plugins, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect the issue directly. Also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hello nick-harper,
You can change the template from Visual Composer, Add template for your blank page, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Lh1OFPnh8 -> http://screencast.com/t/GcXmudde4Zc
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
I tested this again on our end but could not recreate the issue. The post view will increment every time the post is being accessed weather it’s directly from the website or from facebook/other social network. We could not find any problem. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. There could be a plugin conflict/caching issue that is affecting your views. You can test the counter yourself by refreshing the post page or accessing it from facebook. The counter should increment on every access. If it doesn’t, then please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect this issue on your end because like I said above, we cannot recreate it on our end. Also please post a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please provide a link to your website so we can inspect the issue.
What you can try to do is disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it to rule out a plugin conflict.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
