@Marius..

Can you please guide me
i. How to make Javascript move to footer

I think the shim will automatically turn “off” Visual Composer (in theory).
What I do is leave the “shim beta” turned ON; then leave VC OFF; then turn VC on if I need to make any edits to home page (e.g., this weekend I’m removing the “load more” to limit ajax calls; and simply have link “read more” that goes to the “index” for that topic; which I already did on the sidebars with simple text link — this is the kind of micro-optimizations I’m doing now as time permits…).
For those who care, Radu & Co. have in mind to do a sideways devtrack to possibly remove Visual Composer entirely from future version (E.g., Newspaper 7), but that doesn’t help “right now” as you already know.
Yes, with SHIM at work you only need visual composer activated to create new pages. Activate it to create new pages. If you need to create/edit pages all the constantly, this is a bummer unless you can manually edit the shortcodes. But I believe that usually, one does not need to be regulary editing/creating pages, at least I don’t. Maybe at the beginning of making a website, but afterwards you rarely create/edit pages.
Cheers!
Thanks Emil and Chris! I installed the shim thing and increased php memory. I will be checking to see what happens the following days. Now visual composer should be left deactivated? is there a more permanent solution? becuse i may want to add new pages with vc….:(
Hi,
I have cheked your site and you have many javascript errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/UulApK2CX Unfortunately we did not tested this plugin with our theme and you may need custom modifications to make the plugin to work with the theme. You can check if you have this issue without any plugins active(including Speed Booster), leave just Visual Composer and BARC chat, also disable any js/css minification and clear cache.
Thanks!
Hi,
Try to disable all plugins except Visual Composer and see if the issue is still there. Also try to upload small and large images (under 1MB and over 2MB) to see if it’s not an upload size restriction related error.
Thank you!
Hi,
We included the latest version of Visual Composer in our latest theme update so i guess you already have it.
Please check the error log to see if there are any hidden errors reported in there.
Also, if possible, please provide some traffic and resources usage statistics. If you don’t want to paste them here send them via email at contact@tagdiv.com , don’t forget to include a link to this conversation.
Thank you!
Hi,
@fadoum Did you tried also without any plugins active except of Visual Composer? Also please clear cache and see if you still have this issue. Also please check the browser console for errors – http://screencast.com/t/3kQ9EHtML2W Make sure that you enable all shortcodes to appear – http://screencast.com/t/IAhvSD6C Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Maybe I was not enough clear, I CAN’T activate this plugin then I can’t try to leave just Visual composer and SN Auto poster plugin active.
I also asked to the plugin support but they said that is not a plugin Issue but a WordPress issue, for this reason I asked your help because everything start by the theme upgrade.
Could you help me please?
Hi,
Add H1 using a Visual Composer text block or use the Homepage – with title template – http://screencast.com/t/gPl2da2W1Prm – the code in the page template it looks like this – http://screencast.com/t/AU3i9coHAdzO
Also you can check this topic as reference – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/best-way-to-add-h1-tag-in-homepage/
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you used default page template in version 4? We changed the page templates in version 6, please try to use pagebuilder with title – http://screencast.com/t/uST39hilk the default sidebar should be added automatically. Please try this on a page and see if works. You can check this solution for default template – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/joke-no-sidebar-with-visual/#post-53451
Also if you can use default page template and add Widgetised Sidebar block using Visual Composer to display your sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/MToOqSRhAkgS
Please provide more details if this doesn’t help, also a link so we can take a look.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately we did not tested this plugin with the theme, so I’m not sure why you have this issue, but you can try to disable all plugins, leave just Visual Composer and Social Networks Autoposter active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. You can also address to the plugin support.
Thanks!
Hi,
issue with padding in small device all element of visual composer.
Thank you.
🙂
Be sure to regenerate your hash keys also!
Visual Composer is a memory hog; no doubt about it.
With Newsmag the last version of VC crashed our server (processes went from .06 to 52, with 8 XEON processors and 32GB ECC RAM); we had to use the beta “SHIM” workaround that Radu came up with.
Basic solutions are:
a) make sure you have at least 128MB allocated for php, and have that in the wp-config.php
b) limit number of queries (e.g., have a 10 most recent list in sidebars, not five queries of latest 2 items from 5 categories); consider disabling the “related posts” element; don’t use mega-menu
c) if you have a LOT of posts added daily, image processing is an ‘expensive’ use of CPU, so consider pre-planning your modules to limit number of image thumbs being built per story, ensure you have a high compression level set and pre-optimize the heck out of what you upload – don’t upload a 767kb file when it could be 45kb at outset for example
d) consider turning off the stupid comment counters (ahem); who cares how many comments a story has, really? That’s a huge amount of queries going on all over the place.
e) optimize the heck out of your site (some of my suggestions are in the stick for site optimization, including adding the memory item in wp-config.php and removing all the comments in wp-config.php — all that crap in there getting loaded over and over)
Stuff like that can set a good baseline to watch the system and see if it chokes. In other words start SIMPLE as possible with everything off, then build up to meet your system capability — if it just dies no matter what, go back to V4; and wait for version of SHIM beta from Radu which works with NP6 (basically this lets you have a homepage with most of the neato modules, but without some of the more dramatic options of VC). I’m running the shim beta with Newsmag on 3 sites now, and zero issues.
Not sure any of that helps … but food for thought …
Thanks bro, that was lame of me (still learning this stuff) I changed the password already 🙂 and added the line but i don’t think this is a real solution. 1.6gb of memory usage is not normal…I would like to know what tagdiv support can support to this 🙂 for now visual composer is disabled and site is live but a mess….
I have tried to make an authors page using the authors block, been looking at this post for the solution -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/author-box-help/
It works fine when i insert this in the main themes td_block_author.php
$buffy .= '<div class="td-authors-description desc">';
$buffy .= '<p>' . get_the_author_meta( "description", $td_author->ID ) . '</p>';
$buffy .= '</div>';
But im trying to make it work from my child theme instead. I have added this to my child functions.php
function hook_td_global_after() {
td_api_block::update('td_block_authors',
array(
'map_in_visual_composer' => true,
"name" => 'Block Authors',
"base" => 'td_block_authors',
"class" => 'td_block_authors',
"controls" => "full",
"category" => 'Blocks',
'icon' => 'icon-pagebuilder-td_block_authors',
'file' => td_global::$get_template_directory . '/includes/shortcodes/td_block_authors.php',
"params" => array_merge(
td_wp_booster_config::get_map_block_general_array(),
td_wp_booster_config::get_map_filter_array(),
td_wp_booster_config::get_map_block_ajax_filter_array(),
td_wp_booster_config::get_map_block_pagination_array()
)
)
);
}
But it doesn’t work. Its probably me whos to tired to figure it out, but i dont get it. :/
Make sure you cleared all your cache, CDN cache, cloudflare, etc.
Make sure you fully clear your browser cache.
Try turning off all plugins except Visual Composer to see if conflict with an oddball plugin.
Make sure you previously increased the default memory for your site from 40MB to at least 96MB in the wp-config.php file (mandatory!) – -128MB if your account supports it; 256MB if allowed.
It does work 🙂
Did you increase the default memory in your wp-config.php file ?
You MUST change that from the default 40MB to at least 96MB, pref. 128MB and ideally 256MB to use Visual Composer.
hi guys,
I been having problems with one of my sites, site gives errors all the time “error database connection” and sometimes “503 errors” when i go to server I see tons of php processes, when i kill them they come back. I uninstalled visual composer and put an older version, helped a bit but there is still same problem.
http://pasteboard.co/1urKqhOh.png
http://pasteboard.co/
I had to upgrade to level 3 goddady and site barely functions, this is newspaper 6 but problem where before upgrade as well.
I wrote to wpbackery and they say this:
Hi salomon,
The issue is because there is an inbuilt version of Visual Composer (or the related code) present in your theme which is overriding the standalone plugin version and hence causing the issue. You will have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, otherwise you might loose the extra elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. Kindly check.
Thank you,
Please help!
Hi,
Did you tried to create your button in a page using Visual Composer? As I have tested this and it works fine – http://screencast.com/t/GpgdqGd4 – http://screencast.com/t/tSoSP3ySz4FI
You can also to copy the shortcode if you want to use it in post content – http://screencast.com/t/n7BOW4X3yp21
Thanks!
Hi
Please try to use only the blue columns in Visual Composer, because the blokes work better with that http://screencast.com/t/JXv4ZQwe . Here is a tutorial about that https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
We are sorry for the delay but we working with limited stuff.
Thanks.
Hi,
I suggested to check the Visual Composer version as you use an old version – http://screencast.com/t/S5dHRwyIsD as the theme was not tested with old versions of Visual Composer and may appear some issues(this is also for future updates recommandation).
Also about slider issue please check how you filter the first slider as if you don’t have articles on that specific category or tag it will not be displayed. So please check slide settings and check how you filter posts.
I can see that not all sliders are not displayed, as you can see the slider with title Rumored appears – http://screencast.com/t/LR6B7ZP6
Thanks!
Hi,
Please provide a link so we can take a look, also please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi Lucian,
1. The font size still doesnt change the relationship between the logos: http://coconutoilpost.com/
These look different to your screen shot samples. Also in v4 you had 4 styling options you could select which is missing in v6 yet in the code they are still referred to? td-social-style-2 – Is there a way to select other style options?
2. The original link above shows a pdf with all the screen shots.
3. On a post without using the visual composer the shortcode option does not allow buttons to be added? Can this be done or made active?
Regards
Hi,
1. please try to disable all plugins, except visual composer – the site looks like it has some kind of error
2. if that doesn’t work please send us you wp-admin access via email (also post a link to this post) contact@tagdiv.com
