Hi,
You can create new page(s), choose page template and add blocks from Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/3jYhKlXqHoxI Also if you want to use demo’s pages you have to edit each block and set your filter options, block title, pagination… – http://screencast.com/t/P1STUMvc
Thanks!
Hi,
I also checked this on Chrome (logged in/out, incognito) and did not found any issues with it. Please check this without any plugins active except of just Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have issues with it.
Also please provide a link so we can take a look.
Thanks!
I did see that in the support forum. It wasn’t until I came across that entry that the plugin did not work at all.
I deactivated everything except the visual composer and I still had the same issues.
Something is definitely in conflict with the plugin. I also deactivated the tagDiv Speed Booster plugin and I believe the minification error went away as I didn’t see the site broken for a split second before returning to normal.
Did you check the support forum for the plugin, such as the issue with Yoast SEO plugin?
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-conflict-83?replies=4
Also using the console in chrome you’re getting what looks like minification error with .js and/or missing jquery reference.
Did you try turning off ALL your plugins except visual composer and the ‘retina’ plugin?
Yup. Just take all of that out of your style.css file which is what I do.
All those features you keep asking for need to have the code someplace. And better to have one big file, vs. having 10 different CSS files like some sites. That’s the whole idea behind “combining CSS” so only one file gets loaded/cached.
CSS larger for this theme vs hot topix (I use that also), is all those fancy visual composer modules and layouts; which is why you have 50 layout options vs the 3 or 3 with topix — apples to oranges. Why does a V8 engine use more gas has than a 4-cylinder ? Self explanatory – twice the cylinders.
No way for theme to easily generate different CSS and a nightmare for support (where is my WooCommerce CSS? Un, did you activate that option? Where is the option? In the CSS panel. Where is the CSS panel? Did you see the documentation? What is that?) etc. 😉
Just my two cents if we’re all going to chime in on this topic.
Upshot: tweak your site to remove those elements you don’t use, for best performance.
I did have conversation with Radu about what could safely be removed from the config file, also, such as require loading modules for bbpress if not using that. Never got to finishing that process due to the server CPU issues we had due to stupid VC memory leaks or whatever is up with that.
Personally I would prefer to have a MAGAZINE focused theme without all the bbpress, multisite and woocommerce stuff – but 20-30% of people buying this are “wanting” and perhaps “demanding” those features so they are in there (the Magazine theme got bloated from Oct 2013 to Jan 2015 due to this … annoying to me, personally — but this is a “one for all” theme, not a micro niche focused offering; or it would not sell in these competitive themeforest marketplace).
Happy Sunday. Ranting over (rant!!!!)… 🙂

Hello there, I purchased both Newsmag and later on Newspaper. Initially, I used Newsmag. The theme is great, however, I was not very happy because there are always lines created in the theme whenever I want to create layout by myself using visual composer and its add-ons. I changed it to Newspaper and here are problems that need to be fixed:
1. The article thumbnails need to be recreated. I used Force Regenerate Thumbnails. I have more than 5000 images hosted and whenever i run the plugin, it always stop at around 200 processed images. I know that we can run this plugin on a single or several images, but I dont want to go through post-by-post and find which articles are already used images. Any other way to speed up this process?
2. Regarding big slide: I have two issues:
a. Not like Newsmag, I can not set category filter to “Featured” with Sort Order is set as “Random Posts”. The big slide will be disappeared with this combination;
b. I have many images with white background, and again, whenever it displayed in a slider, then the arrow navigation will not be visible because the background of the image is white. Please fix this and how to make the slider images just like Newsmag. I know that you put color background to keep the post title visible. But without gradien effect, the arrow of left and right navigation would not be visible.
3. Regarding post template, many articles published in the previous theme (Newsmag) are using full post featured iamge position which is not avialbale in the Newspaper theme. Whenever I changed to Newspaper, the article would not visible until I change the post template. Any other way to make this process simple and efficient? I hv already created many articles.
4. My speed test with google using this theme is zero. How come?
Thanks

Hi Alin,
Thanks for pointing out the issue with the category URL. There seems to be a problem with Yoast SEO plugin which should strip /category from the URL (if you put /category/world it works fine). I’ll speak to Yoast devs. This problem is fairly recent, it worked fine a week ago.
As for ?s=rome, I disabled all plugins except Visual Composer, I emptied all cache and the problem is still there. Actually, this problem does not seem to be related to the Newspaper theme, as it occurs even if I change to one of WP default themes.
Thanks for taking the time to reply and sorry to have bothered you.
Regards,
Martino
Hi,
Please try to disable all your plugins leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN, then check if you still have this issue. Also disable all css/js minification. If you don’t have this issue anymore please activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and also category url doesn’t work – http://screencast.com/t/PTXq4vmadtr Please resave your permalinks and also deactivate all plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and check if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
@abarrell Please deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files, then check if you still have this issue. Also disable any css/ js minifications. If you don’t have this issue anymore activate your plugins one by one and see which one created this issue or maybe it is a conflict between more plugins.
I have checked your site and you have some errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/tX1Czbf1qL
@aricandra You also can try the above suggestion, these problems usually arise from plugins conflict.
Thanks!
I already did.
Basically the plugin do 2 things:
1. Shows how much time takes to read each post, as you can see here: http://remedioparaquedadecabelo.net.br/artigos/ (for example “10 minutes to read”, but this site is translated to pt-br)
2. When you scrolls the page, the plugin shows a progress bar of read content in the top of the post, as you can see here: http://remedioparaquedadecabelo.net.br/tratamentos-para-a-queda-de-cabelo/
I want to do the 2 things that the plugin do. I need activate action 1 in homepage and categories page, show how much time takes to read each post. For this I have to copy the code:
<?php if (function_exists(‘wp_time_to_read’)) wp_time_to_read(); ?>
to homepage and categories. But the developer answer me this:
Hello,
You seem to be using Visual Composer plugin to build up you homepage. It is slightly tricky in that case since you need to edit the modules in order to show the time to read in all modules. I would request you to ask your theme developer if there is an easier way to do it. Otherwise, you have to find all instances of this code in all files:
<h1 itemprop=”name” class=”entry-title td-page-title”>
<span><?php the_title() ?></span>
</h1>
and paste the code for Time to read below it.

Hi,
Please check this only with Visual Composer and Jetpack plugins active and clear cache, if you think that this happens only when Jetpack plugin is active as maybe it is in a conflict with another plugin.
Also check the cache plugin settings we recommend to use on page cache – https://forum.tagdiv.com/w3-total-cache-configuration/
Thanks!
Hi,
I also tested this and redirect to the url on submission it works fine – http://screencast.com/t/fdKuN1NYj Please check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer and Contact Form active, clear cache and check again as it may be a conflict with another plugin.
Thanks!
Good to hear you had found that. Just tested at js_composer v4.5.2 and that’s works fine. v.4.3 is works fine too. Hopefully that’s bug related only for js_composer v4.4.
@DrewSov I’ve done some tests and this is what I’ve found:
Stock WordPress + stock WordPress theme without visual composer with 2000 – 5000 terms encounters some kind of out of ram error at 246 MB regardless of the ram limit set in php.ini or in wordpress.
I will investigate this more next week.

Hi,
Please check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and se if the post font size is changing from Theme Panel. I have also checked this and did not found any issues. I have checked you article and found that also the default css for post content is overwritten – http://screencast.com/t/VRTSYf3m on my side – http://screencast.com/t/ya6VanJ8lxJW
Or if you want to add font size using custom css you can use !important tag – http://screencast.com/t/cu2WsFhV63
body .td-post-text-content {
font-size: 16px !important;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
You can limit posts to 4 – http://screencast.com/t/8mrIpXnif5S so it will not slide. In version 5 will be also add Big Grid element in Visual Composer like you can see on Newsmag demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/
Thanks!
Hello,
And more difficulty speaking English, I am self taught and am having some problems.
My site is not yet online so I can not give you his URL.Dans TagDiv Gallery, I would translate into French the commands: 1 of 5 … close … I went into the plugin files and I have not found or make the changes.
VisualComposer I use to create a page but I do not know how to apply CSS theme to the created page.
My menu, I made a connection with a single category. This works but above my articles, I have a slide that appears. Is it possible to remove it?
I would also like to know how to change the social networks at the bottom of the article.
Can you help me? Thank you.
Cordially

Hello guys, my site is http://concursospublicos.ninja,
I installed the plugin “WP Time to Read”, you can see this plugin here: https://mythemeshop.com/plugins/wp-time-to-read/
but I have to add a code in some pages to plugin works correctly. So I opened a topic in the forum of the developer of the plugin, and they answered this:
Hello,
You seem to be using Visual Composer plugin to build up you homepage. It is slightly tricky in that case since you need to edit the modules in order to show the time to read in all modules. I would request you to ask your theme developer if there is an easier way to do it. Otherwise, you have to find all instances of this code in all files:

2. When you scrolls the page, the plugin shows a progress bar of read content in the top of the post, as you can see here: http://remedioparaquedadecabelo.net.br/tratamentos-para-a-queda-de-cabelo/
So, please answer this question to me.
Hi,
Please provide a link so we can inspect this. Also please make sure that you add your adsense code properly as if it works on header it should work also on sidebar. Also please make sure that you use the latest theme version 1.7.1. and check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and clear cache.
Thanks!
Hi,
Like I said I also checked this and I couldn’t replicate this (uploaded an image 150×150 ) – http://screencast.com/t/IQ0gkhTIFM – http://screencast.com/t/DfpVuaPB
Please try this with a bigger image – http://screencast.com/t/FmfO8bneBhI and without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer and WP User Avatar active, clear cache and check if it works.
If you still have this issue send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are. We will answer as soon as possible!
Thanks!
Hi,
I have removed your site credentials and you should not post it here as this is a public forum.
Please check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and see how it is loading when a user is logged in as maybe there is a plugin that slow loading when a user is logged in. Also you can try to use a cache plugin like WP Super Cache and see how it goes.
Thanks!
