I’ve had a reply from the Visual Composer developers and the say this is a support issue for you. So please reply!!!
The “block” is not our standard element. It is most likely added by your theme author to enhance the theme functionality. 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 theme author so he can guide you with the same. Kindly check.
Thank you,
Hi,
You could do something of the sort but you will need to add the code for every page. The simplest solution would be to add a load more button to your latest articles so the page will not change every time you want to vies more posts. In order to do this, you will need to change the page template and not use the pagebuilder+latest but rather the pagebuilder+title or the default page template and then use a block 12 for your latest articles. This way you can add the load more animation from the pagination settings in visual composer (like our travel demo uses: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_travel/)
Thank you!
Hi
Check if the view counter works on your site. You can do that by viewing a post a few times in browser and check if the post view number increases. Also try do deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. Note that if you’re using a cache plugin you need to enable the ajax counter: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-ajax-view-count/
Let me know how it goes and if you still can’t manage to solve this issue please provide your site url so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Yes, that is my problem. The changes made in theme panel does not applies on front-end.
I have this problem at all demos, everything else works good.
I don’t know where is the problem… I use Google Chrome and I don’t have other plugins except Visual Composer.
In CATEGORY TOP POSTS STYLE I pick: “Gird 3”,
and in ARTICLE DISPLAY VIEW I choose: “M2” and then save 🙂
but it only appears M2…
Than you very much for answer and help.

Hello Tagdiv,
After the update I’m getting a strange error in my blog http://www.getcooltricks.com . The pages are having a strange look without any styling. I think the Visual composer plugin is not working. The latest update works fine in my test site but not in the main site. I checked my site in my workplace and it worked fine. Please help me with this.

Our tested plugins are -> http://screencast.com/t/g1M1YoVMH1 I have tested on my side The Font Awesome plugin and indeed, the icons does not appear on the block but only in Visual Composer. In order to achieve the better results implies more additionals customizations and we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!

Hello Mark,
This looks like a plugin compatibility issue. please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset CDN. If this is plugin related, now your mobile menu should display properly and you need to identify the plugin that creates the issue.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello Mike,
Unfortunately the specific post does not seem to work. This could not be ssl related but rather a plugin conflict. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and check your images again.

Hello,
This may be caused by a featured post plugin. Our theme does not support featured posts in it’s modules and blocks so please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and check again. If the problem is still there afterwards, please try to do a fresh install of the theme.
Let us known how it goes.
Thank you!

Hi
1. I’ve checked the indicated page and in page source does not appear any ad code or a container related with an ad code under the bottom share buttons: http://screencast.com/t/GMY47hPOm
I am not sure how you added this add in post content, as in it’s source does not show any of theme’s classes for ad-spots: http://screencast.com/t/Nk1BU8yTh The css display property for this ad does not apply correct and the pagination buttons are hidden under the ad.
Try to include the ad code in a text block or in a new container so it can be targeted with css. The required css look like this: http://screencast.com/t/DD2FBW9KKeY
.ads-container-name{
display: inline-block;
}
2. This post not uses the theme ad spots here: http://screencast.com/t/H2ubx7CP39rT None of the classes related with article bottom ad are present in page source which means that the theme does not execute that code.
Please make sure that you set the ads according with our documentation as I’ve test this on my side and they are displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/8B7xiTo9Fw Also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Thanks!
Hello,
This can be achieved in 2 ways. The first one is choosing a different grid style. Take a look at our demo and switch between grid styles here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ Style 4 is the brightest one. This style can be selected in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/wF53pOxdCQb
If you do not wish to change the style and you use style 1 (i assume) then you can use css to remove the gradient:
.td-grid-style-1.td-hover-1 .td-module-thumb a:last-child:before{
display:none!important
}
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately we cannot inspect your website: http://screencast.com/t/c0D07bsK
Please make sure you disable all plugins except visual composer and clear your cache. The update should not affect your grid or images. if you updated from newspaper 4, then you will need to run the update script as this guide shows: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you!
Hi
We didn’t tested the adrotate plugin so I can’t guarantee that will work 100%. However from our reports received from different users, the plugin works fine.
I am not sure why the plugins does not work on your site but you can try to deactivate all others plugins except Visual Composer and adroatate, just to be sure that there is no conflict, clear the cache memory, also check if the ad code it’s ok then test again.
Note that if you want to display it using the php code you will have to use the do_shortcode function like this:
echo do_shortcode('ad-rotate-shortcode'):
You can also check this tutorial here, it may help: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-manage-ads-in-wordpress-with-adrotate-plugin/
Thanks!
Hello,
You could add a custom css class to the row in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/PEo4GXo5
And then use this class with css and apply some changes to it. You can add a max-height if you want like for example:
.customrow{
max-height:800px
}
I’m not sure how the content underneath it will display, but you can use different selectors and attributes in css to position them.
You can use the .home class if just the homepage is affected by this rotating containers so you will not accidentally affect the rest of your site with the custom css.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
First of all: Great theme!
Maybe the answer to my question is simple but i´m a new user of this theme and i´ve found no answers in the forum.
I changed my site to the Newspaper theme and now i´ve a problem.
I tried to use a Big Grid Element on the new page (using Visual Composer) but if i use it – the result is like you can see on the picture – this happens with every Big Grid i use – there´s ever an element to much.
Hello nicolai,
I suspect this problem might be caused by the interference between your untested plugins with 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. Also, please check your HTML customization and ensure that you have followed the correct steps and also ensure that you do not have any tags opened.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
I am not sure I understand your issue completely. Do you mean that the changes made in theme panel does not applies on front-end? If this happens try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. Also check in browser console while you’re saving the settings if there are any errors. Usually a 403 or a 404 error it’s displayed there if something goes wrong.
If this is not what you mean please provide more details about your issue and also provide your site url so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Hi
You can insert an ad under post title using do_shortcode function in the file corresponding with post template used, like here: http://screencast.com/t/sOX6p9gHJ
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
To get the shortcode add an ad box into a blank page then switch in backend editor copy and paste this code: http://screencast.com/t/Kcqsjk9C7xbU inside do_shortcode function.
For homepage you can use the adbox clock from Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/0kTjlWwwg – http://screencast.com/t/USSisJGc
Hope this help!
Thanks!

I see you are using a CDN Service (which CDN?)as well also your JS,CSS,HTML are minified but mine is not even though I am using Cloudflair CDN.
Please help, I am really struggling to rank my site. Can you please help me optimize the site so that I can lower down the loading time as well.
Hi.

The only way that works again video playlist, is creating the new homepage. So if that is correct.
Cheers

Salut Cristi990,
Pagina de blog foloseste module si o poti seta din Theme panel astfel -> http://screencast.com/t/UFIm7ofCmA Ceea ce mi-ai aratat mai sus sunt blocuri, iar acestea pot fi setate din Theme panel numai pentru o pagina statica, cu ajutorul Visual Composer-ului. Daca vrei sa adaugi blocuri pe pagina ta de blog, singura modalitate prin care le poti insera este din cod cu ajutorul metodei do_shortcode. Fisierul care trebuie modificat este index.php. Te rog sa observi ca nu este o sarcina foare usoara si necesita customizari ulterioare. Daca nu sti pasii despre care am vorbit mai sus, ar trebui sa angajezi un freelancer/developer pentru a te ajuta in acest scop deoarece noi nu oferim servicii personalizate momentan, imi pare rau.
Multumesc pentru mesaj!

Regarding the ad issue please make sure that you’re not using any ad-blocker software as I’ve checked your site with google chrome and the header ad it’s displayed fine: http://screencast.com/t/NVwwEtdkpDq
Thanks!
