hi
i just purchased and downloaded Newsmag and the version of Visual Composer that is included is v4.6.2.
According to this post:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/fb-not-sharing-post-featured-image-or-post-title/
there is a newer version, but i don’t see any way to update my current version
this page says to upload the newest version from the theme plugins, but that is what i already did:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
i am having trouble getting the FB page plugin to work
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/page-plugin
the strange thing is that it shows up in the admin in Visual Composer, but not on the frontend page
thanks
Hi,
@gfm1978 – what version of the theme and Visual Composer do you use? If possible please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , include a link to this conversation and provide wp-admin and ftp access. We will take a look at your configuration, maybe the issue comes from something else.
@meremetia – some of the old problems were solved in the newer versions of VC, please try the latest version and see if the issue is still there.
Thank you!
Hello Elena,
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer. Sometimes plugins can be the cause of a whole bunch of problems. If the problem is still there, provide more details so we can take a look and see what the issue is.
Thank you
Hi,
I’m not really sure what you mean. If you use Visual Composer you can add blocks to display articles from specific category/ies. So you can have different sections on the page, like you can see on our demo – http://screencast.com/t/yhFxt86TzRJ – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
If this is not what you mean please provide more details about what you want to achieve using VC pagebuilder.
Thanks!
Hello Bogdan, yes, the Visual Composer is enabled, if I were not, would codes on page. I try to disable all plugins and only enable Visual Composer, but still it remains. From what I’ve seen, only it happens with Custom ads.
The problem has arisen since this morning I disabled the Visual Composer plugin and I’ve been reactivated.
Hello Beldar,
Make sure visual composer is enabled as it is required by the theme. Try to disable all plugins and leave just visual composer then see how the ads are displayed. It could be another conflicting plugin. I also saw some errors in the console of your site you might want to look at: http://screencast.com/t/xS5hCq9B
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve test this on my side with the current theme’s version available on themeforest, which is V2.2 and the theme get the right thumbnail for every post shared: http://screencast.com/t/yMnWrnQ6oKk Please make sure that you’re using the updated version of the theme, also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let me know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide your site url so I can inspect this closer.
Thanks!
Hello,
It takes a bit of custom modification to do it. You can add an extra class on the row in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/GDM4o7r7OjlN and you can apply styles to that row in CSS.
This is an example on a block 6: http://screencast.com/t/jAT3BC8n4X
You need to target every block you place on your page and set borders to it.
If you cannot manage on your own i suggest you hire a developer to do it for you from sites like studio.envato.com because at the moment we cannot provide any custom work. (We try to help out were we can if it does not involve lots of customization)
I hope this helps
Thank you!
Hi,
I see you use the old theme version, but I’m not sure what you want to edit as I see you use Visual Composer pagebuilder to create your page so you can change the blocks settings if you want.
Please provide more details about this, a screenshot may help.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure you update the Visual Composer plugin to the latest version provided with the theme. What theme version do you use. It should not be any issue if you use the latest version. I’m not sure why you have this issue, only on your computer, please clear cache and also the browser cache. If the issue persist check the error.log file and also you console for errors.
Thanks!
Hi
Thanks @Chris S and @doucare1971 for your answers!
@james82104 the theme use the WordPress registration system, so I don’t think this issue is related with the theme. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
@FrozenGod Do you use Wigetised Sidebar block for your homepage, but it doesn’t change it? – http://screencast.com/t/W5xkPKmRjp
Also for post pages, if you use a custom sidebar for category template, the post will inherit that sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/koUf5vkxK
Please check this like Christopher suggested, without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Today, suddenly, when I disable and reenable the Visual Composer plugin for testing, the spaces between the ads have disappeared.
The two ads that appear below the grid leave no space for news block. In the sidebar is the same, the first ad shows space but the rest ads no.

Hi,
You could use Tabs element of Visual Composer for your page and add blocks to it – http://screencast.com/t/bSVLfN4al – http://screencast.com/t/ObZb6U4jD
Unfortunately this element is not available in Widgets section to be added also in custom sidebars.
Thanks!
Hi,
You must have post views enabled from Theme Panel > Post Settings – http://screencast.com/t/8OuCAPd2aja then you can test it by editing a post and take a look at custom fields: http://screencast.com/t/mSiJvu61tGj then refresh the post a few times and check if it increments. If those values are changed when the post is viewed then popular sort should work properly and the post should appear to your block.
Please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello,
Try to clear all caches, deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer active and test again, also verify the console for any errors while saving the settings on the Theme Panel, usually it displays a 403 or 404 error.
If the problem persist try to check system status: http://screencast.com/t/3Nv4Hrv6
Increase max_execution_time at least at 300 and the max_input_vars should be bigger than 2000. Those values are set in php.ini file so try to access it but note that some hosts may restrict the access at this file, if you don’t have access to it contact your host provider and let him know about this situation.
The WP_MEMORY_LIMIT from default-constants.php file it’s overwritten by the value from wp-config.php so try to modify the value from that file, here it’s a guide regrading this
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
@vikramrawat Did you updated from version 4? Please provide more details about this and make sure you update the theme according to this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and update also the theme plugins that you use – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
Hi,
I see that when I click on that link it redirects to your homepage, but I don’t know what post it is. You have this issue only with a specific posts, as I have checked your site and clicked on few articles(standard, video) and did not found any issues. You can check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide more details(the link to the specific article so we can find it on your site) wp-admin access so we can take a look, paste a link to this topic so we know who you are and what your issue is.
To add ads to your homepagepage content via VC pagebuilder, you can use Ad Box block and set the ad you want to display – http://screencast.com/t/bIOp24LJrYC
For posts pages you can use the article inline ad spot and set it to appear after x paragraph – http://screencast.com/t/mG0q0d4qq
Thanks!
Hello gelustondo,
This could be a plugin issue, please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and check your posts again. Also check individual post settings to be sure a sidebar is selected for each post.http://screencast.com/t/XPxduma9j
If the problem is still there, please provide more details so we can closer inspect this issue.
Thank you!
Try the theme docs.
Create a new blank “page” which will be your future home page; then you use Visual Composer to create “rows” and “columns” in rows.
make sure you delete the old js-composer folder in the plugins folder, and install the NEW version that comes with WP6/6.5. Hope that helps.
Be sure to clear all caching in both website, if used, and your web browser.
TagdiV back on Monday.
On our site we actually turned off Visual Composer and using the beta ‘shim’ for homepage, and added function in functions.php to disable loading visual composer on post pages.
VC is a memory hog. On our server we were getting spikes going from .70 to 70 (!) — with quad Xeons 32GB RAM and gigabit switch.
You can also try some simple optimizations:
a) turn off the “related” posts “more by author” bottom of post pages (I am using separate smaller footprint text based related posts plugin where I can set length of time to query vs “everything forever”)
b) limit number of queries on home page – try to have no more than 10 blocks
c) try not using megamenu
d) try not using the flyout “you might like …”
e) on sidebars try using only one module type; try using module with text only vs thumbs.
All those things cut waaaaaaay back on queries.

The problem only exists within the visual composer itself. The formatting of the module is non-existent, the text is almost like data text with visible formatting tags but i can only see that if i highlight the text as it’s white on white background and i can’t even edit it anyway. I couldn’t’ edit text and i couldn’t add anything further.
I have connected to the platform using another computer and it works perfectly. I don’t know what is the difference, it could be java problems?
Did you
a) increase default memory in your wp-config.php file ?
b) turn off all plugins except visual composer to try to debug what might be causing overload?
c) optimize site for fewer queries, optimized photos, pagespeed, etc.
(a) is best thing to start with.
