Hello,
Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer and clear your cache to rule out a plugin conflict. If the problem is still there, please provide a link to your website so we can inspect this issue.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please check the visual composer settings and make sure you have all elements active in role manager: http://screencast.com/t/Bik3Oe8egjhw
If everything is active in the plugin settings you can try to deactivate all plugins except visual composer and clear cache to rule out a plugin conflict.
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
Note:
a) not all plugins are fully updated for WordPress 4x
b) not all plugins work properly with the bugs in WP 4.4.1
c) not all plugins fully follow proper WP modern plugin programming guidelines (‘the law’) as laid down by Automattic..
So if one or more of those is true a plugin might not work at all with more complex themes.
Main trick generally is to turn off all other plugins except visual composer, clear all caching, turn off any minification tools, check to see if the plugin you’re using works, and check the console for errors (F12).
Check the plugin has been updated for all the recent changes to WordPress. if the plugin has not been updated in a while it likely will stop working.
Hi! I tried searching the forums for my issue but wasn’t able to find anything. On pages without sidebars (and designed using Visual Composer), there is always a space underneath the footer if there’s only a few lines of content on the page. Here’s an example picture.
If I add padding-bottom to my content and push the footer down, it looks normal, but I’m wondering if there’s a recommended approach from the TagDiv team 🙂 Can we force the footer to be at the bottom of the screen?
Thanks!
Update: The columns in Visual Composer don´t work at all. What can go wrong.
By the way: I work with the VC on differnet sites with different themes.
I tried to use Visual Composer with the Dynamic Sidebar Widget.
The sidebar is displayed unter the content column. I choose a layout with 2/3 and 1/3 columns.
What goes wrong? Any settings missing?
Thank you for help.
I upgraded the theme and the plugin via wordpress, one way you recommend.I tried to disable all other plugins and nothing change.
My site is : jean-luc-becquaert.eu
If you send me an email address, I could send you a login to access to backend and a screen picture of the visual composer backend.
Thanks again.
Hi
I’ve checked your site on mobile devices and the ads are displayed fine now: http://screencast.com/t/9MvGougPQ2O I am not sure why ads are not displayed fine on your side but you can try to empty phone cache memory and test again. Also you can try by deactivating all others plugins except Visual composer, then check is the problem is still there.
Thanks!
– Added plugins name code
– activated Speedbooster
– cleared cache
– run Pagespeed Insights and still showing scripts and CSS to move to footer

Hi
Please make sure that you update the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also make sure that you updated the Visual Composer plugin from the same path with the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ deactivate all others plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide a link so we can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Hello razakey,
I have checked your website and I saw your menu-nav into your sidebar. I suppose that you have set it with Visual Composer with WP Custom Menu element. You can check your configuration into your panel and you should to exclude it from your sidebar. Another alternative would be to hide it with a bit of CSS. Please try the code below and add it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/xynPdzjzd3
.td-ss-main-sidebar .widget_nav_menu {
display:none;
}
The result -> http://screencast.com/t/JLracsj3D4
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
Please try the facebook like box on any other sidebar to see if the problem is not from the plugin itself. Jetpack is tested to work with our theme but not all options are tested. You can also try other widgets in your custom sidebar and see if they get displayed. If only the jetpack option is not working then you need to find another sharing plugin. You can also try to disable all plugins except visual composer and clear cache to rule out a plugin conflict that interferes with the sidebar.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please provide an example or more details about what elements are missing. If you are talking about visual composer elements, please make sure you have all of them active in role manager in VC settings: http://screencast.com/t/Ls4RAArWHf
If all options are active in the VC settings, then please try it without any plugins. Disable all of them except visual composer, clear your cache and check the elements again.
Thanks.
Hello pritamps,
If you want to use a full-width image on your posts, you can use Visual Composer for posts -> http://screencast.com/t/ZvgzEFu0ent and then you have to use a single row with these changes -> http://screencast.com/t/ZTS9jwhj5zku -> http://screencast.com/t/FN17fY9gle Please notice that Visual Composer plugins is not tested for posts and is required to do some customization after changes. Another possibility for you would be to use Revolution Slider.
You can use Revolution Slider plugin, which it’s included in /plugins folder, to create a full-width slider: http://screencast.com/t/5KiwDmuQwj You can find the installation steps of the plugin in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/ We have some demo sliders, in Newspaper-tf\demo_sliders folder, which you can use to became more familiar with plugins functionality: https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/ and also you can check plugin’s official documentation for more details regarding the features available: http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/welcome-slider-revolution/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
I seem to be missing shortcodes from the visual composer:

Hello kderentz,
I have checked your website and I saw your big white space. Unfortunately, this space does not come from our theme. As you can see in the below screenshot, you have a lot of unknown classes that might come from plugins used by you -> http://screencast.com/t/y2XXZq9m and also, you have some js.errors.
Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and try it again. It is necessary to follow this advice because these problems might be caused by these untested plugins.
If your problem is still there after this, please let us know.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
The theme wasn’t designed to use Visual Composer on post content so it’s possible to appear some issue with the layout in that situation. Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css and if the problem persit please provide a link so we can inspect it closer:
.wpb_text_column p{
margin-bottom: 26px;
}
Thanks!
Hi !
Since I upgraded my theme, visual composer doesn’t work very well. it’s not possible to customize some blocks. All elements are mixed and confused.
Thank you for helping.
Hello,
You can set up the shop page in visual composer and then select it in the woocommerce plugin as a shop page. You can add different VC elements to your page: http://screencast.com/t/FGswuDbZAet just make sure you have the woocommerce options checked in the visual composer settings: http://screencast.com/t/VU42fojyJ
You can see an example of such a page on our official demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_tech/shop/
Thank you!
Hi
Our theme was built to respect the google standards in structured data regards and we didn’t do any tests with: https://validator.w3.org/ I’ve added this on our list and we will run some test to check if there is an incompatibility in html structure of the page. Meanwhile you can try to change or remove the role for search form by editing header-menu.php http://screencast.com/t/DzGjD3gLXF3
The pingback_url parameter should displays the pingback XML-RPC file url: http://screencast.com/t/l39D6FZuw9Q but in your case the url it’s empty. This issue could be caused by a plugin so you could try by deactivating all, leave just Visual Composer active, clear the cache ant test again.
Regarding the css errors these appear because it’s not recommended to use css code inside div tags.
The theme generate a custom css for each block, depending by user’s options, but this code cannot be included in style.css file. This problem it’s present on our demo too: http://screencast.com/t/UmG1YSWBEobU but does not affect the page load.
The theme use h3 tags for entry tiles but you can change that by modifying this functions: http://screencast.com/t/owy14wCxl
Thanks!
Hi
Because you’re using a very old version of the theme the update process could be a bit tricky.
First make sure you do a full backup to the database and your current wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can allays get back to the previous version. Also consider the steps I’ve provide below:
– setup a maintenance mode and you can use a plugin for that.
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
– switch back the rest of the plugins and make sure that they work fine with the theme, you can check this by enabling the plugins one by one then test the site.
Regarding your customizations these will be lost during the update process so you have to re-add them again in theme files or in child theme. Also make sure that the customizations are still compatible with the new theme because many files are changed and also many functions so there is a chance to appear some conflicts.
You also will need to redo your pages because in a previous version the shortcodes for blocks has been changed so they won’t work anymore. Just edit the page with Visual Composer, delete the existent blocks then re-add them again. Such that the new shortcodes will be generated and the page should be displayed fine.
Let us know how it goes and if you need further instructions please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello Baldvin,
You will have to play with the settings a bit and get used to the new layout of the theme and visual composer. Please provide an example of what templates you cannot add to your website. You can add elements in Visual composer like so: http://screencast.com/t/4PRDVYCcPvD It is not very different than the old version. If you don not have these options or some of them do not work, please try to disable all plugins except visual composer to rule out a plugin conflict. Plugins that worked in the old version could not work in the current one.
Thank you!
Hello,
In our theme you can place ads wherever you want on the homepage using the adbox element in visual composer. Check the ads section in our docs for more information on the subject: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/
I am not sure how you want to loop the ads on the homepage as it depends on how you want to set it up. Please provide an example of a homepage and try to provide more details as to how you want your ad to be displayed.
As for the adsense size, you can select it from the ad spot here: http://screencast.com/t/DBR0SnRxCC4a
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
