Hi
You can’t directly copy the code from Visual Composer into a widget, but a solution would be to create your sidebar layout in VC, then add the blocks in the same order in a sidebar widget from Appearance > Widgets.
Thanks!
Hello hatchet9,
The big grid were style in a such a way that if you use style 1 the iomages appear darker but if you use style 4, they are much brighter. You can see what i am talking about here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-4/
Switch between style 1 and 4.
You can change the grid style in visual composer http://screencast.com/t/ff8mPEdD
Thank you!
Hi,
@RWBest Do you get an error when you try to install the Visual Composer? It can be easily installed from here – http://screencast.com/t/lD8uuk1Z Please provide more details if you get any error.
If you still have issues please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and ftp 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!
Hello!
I updated Newspaper via Envato Toolkit plugin – Now is Newspaper 6.5, but … Visual Composer is not updated to 4.7.1.1 and is still 4.6.2 version and in my WordPress administration I can’t find out any message about new version of Visual Composer.
Is Visual Composer possible to update only via FTP not via WordPress administration?
Thanks,
Best regards
You can see this from the changelog for the plugin from the download file from ThemeForest, simply look in the plugins folder, decompress the js-composer zip, then look at the changelog file included.
Or, if already installed you can see it from the plugins page in your WP install.
Hello!
Please tell me which version of Visual Composer is in Newspaper 6.5?
Thanks.
Best regards,
R.
Hi,
I have recently updated the newspaper theme as well as the visual composer plugin.
However after the update, my pages built using visual composer are blank (only the top menu can be displayed). Why is that so? Any solutions for that?
Basically, just change it.
Be sure the theme is not active; rename theme folder (generally you would do this on your PC/Mac prior to upload via FTP).
For example we change the name of our folder to our news network name.
Just change it from /Newspaper/ to something like /StyleBaron/ or whatever you website name happens to be — be careful NOT to name it the same as a category, post, plugin name, or WordPress function, just to be safe — like, don’t name it VisualComposer for example, or JetPack if you’re using jetpack, is tempting fate! hypehen and underlines can be used, like my-cool-mag … although I’d likely limit to 2 words, no reason you can’t do more.
If using a child theme you likely might need to check the style.css to make sure it points to the right place. I don’t use child themes, so if you don’t then it won’t apply to you either.
There is also an awesome resource called Google for many things like this — WP has been around over 10 years, so this is a very common question you can often answer yourself vs waiting for a reply here — not that anything wrong with that, or looking for pointers here from others who have already done the deed. 🙂
(pardon typos; this keyboard starting to die as is my brain …)

Hello,
Sir I tried deactivating all the plugins except the Visual composer but the problem is not due to the plugins as those features were not working even after deactivating the plugins.
I don’t know much about the console or how to fix this issue from the console side. Can you please tell me how to fix this issue.
Thanks for the time and help.
thank your for your answer,
I want to have a tab widget in the sidebar of every post. is it possible to design one with visual composer and then add it to Appearance > Widgets ? can i copy the html code of the tab widget ?
Hello EyeRock.
It is actually up to you if you want to create your own structure or edit the existing one.
You can edit the page in visual composer. Just open that specific page and edit the row to change the image: http://screencast.com/t/xnXUnKAFsCl
You can change block settings the same way.
You can read more about visual composer and block settings in our documentation:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
I hope this helps
Thank you!
Hi maxim,
You said above that you need to fix only one widget, so I provided a solution how to fix only one widget on the page. For example if you add the class on the row – http://screencast.com/t/5k1Zo7RJkX that block will be sticky – http://screencast.com/t/yBfS6gqp – http://screencast.com/t/2EWAcYm5O
The theme doesn’t have an option to fix only a specific widget from the sidebar like the Q2W3 Fixed Widget plugin and we did not test it with the theme so it may be a conflict. You can try to disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer and Q2W3 Fixed Widget, clear cache and see if it works. It may be a conflict with another plugin.
Thanks!
I don’t use tabs etc…just blocks and it don’t work there is nothing in the VC i can use it all saying the…
Elements within this list are deprecated and are no longer supported in newer versions of Visual Composer.
For me to use VC i had to go back to the older version from before…i don’t give no one access to my backend sorry..

Hello vikrant,
I have checked your site and you seem to have some errors in your console: http://screencast.com/t/lGi3DN4PTm
Please check this also without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and purge you files if you use CDN. Then disable any js/css minification (it may cause some issues).
Thank you.
Hello vac,
You can try to clear your cache as Chris said and disable all plugins except visual composer and see if the problem is still there. If it is, please provide more details so we can closer inspect the issue.
Thank you!
Hi,
I just updated to Newspaper 6.5 and the latest Visual Composer. After I have changed an old “tab” element to the new tab, the new element was not displayed in the defined theme color, but in “default” blue color.
I finally found out that td_css_generator is only called to re-generate the CSS when you save options in Newspaper’s “Theme Panel”. Since it is often not necessary to change settings after updating the theme I guess many people update the CSS included in the pages only by accident.
It would be great to either mention the necessity to go to the theme panel and just press “Save” in the update instructions or to have an automatic detection if the theme was upgraded and then call td_css_generator automatically.
Thanks.
Hi,
I also checked this on my side and did not found any issue with the block sort order. Please disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN, then check again if you still have this issue. I suspect it is a caching issue. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan,

Hi Bintmusic,
We will also try to fix the css added by the theme as soon as possible(now the plugin css is applied). So if you renamed the shordcodes you can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css – http://pastebin.com/9TqhCnCM – http://screencast.com/t/cmd7NiC8 until we adjust the theme css for tabs.
Hope this helps!
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/deprecated-schede-tabbing/
Have you solve or i have to change css as Alin sad?
Thanks
Hi sesantanajr,
I have checked your site and some of your images are cropped, but they don’t have width and height, for example – http://screencast.com/t/Cmfz8ZNJUNJ it should look like this – http://screencast.com/t/uPWhut4R
Each featured image is cropped to a specific size, here you can see the thumbs used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/9xmQZoZFrGR and the code is located in td_config.php file – http://screencast.com/t/c7LeWSH7p3VK
You have to use Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate Thumbnails only if you use smaller images than the thumb size on modules/block. If the images are not cropped you will have just to regenerate thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
Did you modified the code? Please remove your custom modifications or try to so a clean install then check again without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue after you regenerate the thumbs.
Yesterday when I have checked your site the thumbs were cropped to the specific size. The theme doesn’t use the full size image on modules, I have just provide more details in the documentation how the theme creates the thumbnails and how to change the cropping mode if you want this.
Thanks!
It could be that the this single page is using Visual Composer. All the other pages that show comments are not using Visual Composer.
Hello,
You can change the tab colors from visual composer:
http://screencast.com/t/bD0X3JqC – http://screencast.com/t/qYf6QxC5
If you mean the title of the tabs not the tabs themselves, you need to use custom css to style the H2 title of the block. You can target the h2 inside the container using child selectors and apply your styles to it.
Example:
.vc_tta-container > h2{
color:red;
background-color:green;
display:table;
padding:8px
}
If this is not what you mean, provide more details so i can better understand how to help.
Thank you.
Hi
I have checked your site and found some errors in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/pXxdNhs3m They can be caused by some plugins which conflicts with theme’s js so you can try by deactivating all except Visual Composer, clear all caches, browser cache also and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello Kenneth,
Maybe you’re doing something wrong, or it could be a plugin issue. First try to disable all plugins except visual composer and see if the problem is still there.
You can read our documentation for header ads: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ad/
If you want a custom spot for your ad, you can read this part here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-ad-spots/
If the problem persists, provide more details so we can take a look and understand the issue better.
Thank you
Hi
The post grid and masonry grid are built blocks from Visual Composer and the theme doesn’t change their functionality. Adding a new filter for this blocks is not an easy task so this can be done with lots of customization in plugin’s files, but you would have to look for a developer from sites like http://studio.envato.com/ as we’re not available for any customization services at the moment. Also you can try a plugin with a similar functionality but we didn’t test any of those plugins so I can’t make any recommendation in this regard, but you can try and use the one that suits you best.
Thanks for the message!
Hi Steven,
I have checked this and before update we have made many tests using the latest version of VC. I guess you have this issue because you have used some VC elements that are changed, like you can see in the update log of Visual Composer and they appear deprecated. If you use some elements like Tabs, you will have to re-add them to your page as the VC developers have changed the classes, the design for them – http://screencast.com/t/3r1YoBw7
If this is not your issue, please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know what your issue is.
Thanks!
