Hello, we wanted to block these two items to tablets and smartphones -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22334399/Schermata%202015-06-07%20alle%2015.50.06.jpg
We tried putting Hide in Visual Composer but does not work -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22334399/Schermata%202015-06-07%20alle%2015.55.25.png
We have also created the extra class “ad-630” which blocks the responsive but not working. What can we do?
This is the page -> http://overpress.it/wwdc-2015/
Thanks
Just did a fresh install on my site, starting from scratch to avoid what may have been some security issues before. I’m making a concerted effort to secure and optimize the site before adding any content or doing any major customizations.
I’m using the guide here to try and improve page speed: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Under section 4. Remove render blocking css/js – using the TagDiv Speed Boosterplugin (Advanced Users) I’m running into some issues.
1. I’ve installed the Speed Booster plug-in and activated it.
2. I’ve copied and pasted the suggested code into very bottom of NewsMag’s functions.php file (there’s another functions.php that the guide is talking about, is there?) and saved.
3. I’ve copy/pasted the output at the top of the page into a text file, which reads:

4. Deleted the code from step 2, then saved.
5. Re-ran the Google Test and it spat out the following results:
Remove render-blocking JavaScript:

http://madlymanly.com/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/style.css?ver=1.7.1
6. When I went back to output from what I did in step 3 above, I didn’t notice any corresponding file names for the issues that needed to be fixed. For instance, in the Google report, it suggests jquery files, but when you search the code section of step 3, I couldn’t find anything that said “jquery”. Same thing for css like “Roboto”.
I noticed in the code comments within the Booster plug-in that it looks like it is still being tested on NewsMag:
/**
* Move the style only on newspaper
* @todo move the style also on newsmag after we fix all the issues
*/
Thoughts? Thank you for the help!
Thank you Alin for helping me out.
First, it was hard where to find the visual composer or page build because I didn’t see it from Theme Settings or WP Settings, I found it in Page > Add new after searching from documentation.
🙂
I am using the Newsmag theme.
I am using various blocks and Visual Composer templates, but I want to add Module 15 to the top of my homepage.
Where do I find this?
🙂
here is an improved shim (1.0 Beta 3): https://forum.tagdiv.com/files_for_users/td-visual-composer-shim.zip
– fixed an issue with column calculation on 1/1 full width rows
– added vc_separator shortcode
– added vc_column_text shortcode
– added vc_raw_html shortcode
the plugin it’s still a bit messy but after we finish the new Newspaper I will make it much better. All the shortcodes that are supported now are with minimal support 🙁 (ex: no designer tab support yet / no custom visual composer css support).
@Chris … do you want a beta version of Newspaper? Let me know and I will sent it via email.
Yes…. I think you will need to do what we did:
a) use older version of Visual Composer — which the main thing is missing is the extra woocommerce modules, I think.
b) possibly use the SHIM plugin; where you would setup your home page with VC then turn VC off leaving the shim plugin active.
In theory, if you go back to a 4.3.5 version of VC the shim may not be needed. It’s really only needed with the 4.4x versions which added a ton of ‘code bloat’ and hence the CPU issues started to crop up. Likely you’re getting a 503 due to how they have your container setup; in our case having dedicated server, it didn’t kill the box entirely but it started to really slow down when CPU usage jumped by 50 times normal load (!) — might be 500 or 5000 times normal load, actually — dropping a zero someplace there.
Okay, direct from grand wizard Mr. Radu …. here is the code to hide the shim and VC on post pages for those of us who only use VC for home page or whatever and do NOT use it for posts! You don’t need to use *this* version unless you’re using the SHIM plugin to deal with CPU spikes with VC versions post 4.4 (for regular code for just hiding VC on posts, see the prior post ABOVE).
Here is updated from RADU June 5, 2015:
(and this goes in functions.php file in main root of theme folder, for those who did not already know that . . . )
function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
wp_dequeue_style('td-vc-composer-css-shim');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);
Hello from California 🙂
Hi Chris, the original code does not work for the shim style because I’m using another id for the css (td-vc-composer-css-shim)
Here is the code that will remove the css form js composer and also from my shim on single pages.
function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
wp_dequeue_style('td-vc-composer-css-shim');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);
Hi,
Thanks @Chirs,@nf_prt!
@LFLizmark Regarding your first issue with images not displaying please provide your site’s url or admin credentials so we can have a closer look as I’m not sure what your issue could be if regenerating thumbnails wasn’t helping, you could also try to empty all caches and test without any plugins active, leave just the Visual Composer plugin active.
If you still can’t manage to find the reason for this please use our email address and send us a message at contact@tagdiv.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible with an answer. Include a link to this tread into your message so we can know who you are.
For organizing your images I suggest you follow Chris’s advises and try to find a plugin that can help you.
@nf_prt Starting with the next version of the newspaper theme ( newspaper 5 ) the theme will have panel thumbs option section (similar to the one that is already available in newsmag theme, that if you are using it) from which you can decide which modules you want to sue and disable the thumbs that you don’t need. Then regenerate thumbnails with a plugin like force regenerate thumbs or a similar one you can delete all thumbs and generate only those needed.
Thanks
Hi,
Please make sure that you also try this without using additional plugins, leave just theme’s Visual Composer and Social Counter plugin’s active and make sure you also empty all caches. If you are using a cache plugin like W3 Total Cache plugin use just page cache: https://forum.tagdiv.com/w3-total-cache-configuration/ then test again.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately if that plugin doesn’t have shortcode or html code to paste it in the page content I’m afraid that it would not be possible. So if it can be used only as a widget you cannot add it using Visual Composer in the page content.
Thanks!
Hi,
If you want on your homepage only Big Grid an latest articles, please create your page, set the page template to Pagebuilder + Latest Articles and add only Big Grid element using Visual Composer – http://screencast.com/t/33dPiRrV
Also you can filter articles(specific category) from Big Grid from settings – http://screencast.com/t/ojyybLGXN
Please check also our documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all plugins leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN, also please disable all css/js minification and check again if you still have this issue. You have some errors in the console and also ajax pagination(that’s why you have issues with smartlist) doesn’t work – http://screencast.com/t/4vTI8nJte51
Thanks!
Hi,
Not sure why you have this issue. I also checked this with latest theme version and did not found any issues. Please check this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again. Also make sure that you don’t use any special characters on the sidebar’s name as we have some reports about this, when a block is added in a custom sidebar disappears.
Thanks!
Hi,
How can create I a page, which contains only 1 of my widgets?
My Website is http://www.happyworklife.de There I have differents widgets on the right. I want to have the long orange widget with the drop down menus on a single page. That page should only contain that widget, the widget should not be on the right, it should be the main content of the page. Unfortunately I cannot use the html code of that widget, so I have to put/integrate the widget directly into the page.
How can I do that? I cannot find the right function/module in the visual composer.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have also checked this and did not found any issues, please check this with all plugins deactivated leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
If you use Jetpack please disable mobile version – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-manage-the-mobile-theme/
Also you can check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer and clear cache.
You can activate the theme also on your test site and when you change to your main website you can use the same code. Envato specifies that each theme can be used for one product (site): http://themeforest.net/licenses/standard but you can use on multiple test sites. If you want to use it on multiple sites/domains you’d have to buy a license for each project.
Thanks!
Hi,
I could not recreate this please also check this without any plugins active leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and we didn’t have any other reports of this. Also you can check this with a default theme.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can update the theme like it is specified in our documentation, unfortunately Visual Composer can be updated only manually as the plugin comes with the theme’s files and you can’t update it directly from the it’s producer.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately some of theme’s blocks like slider may need some adjustments to be displayed fine in tabs, as you can see also in Visual Composer documentation specifies this – http://screencast.com/t/T64ZsBqtu
Thanks!
Hello thank you,
I ‘m handling, but it did not change anything on the site. is it possible that it comes to visual composer (4.4.4) ?
I do not think qe problem comes from the browser, it is necessarily a code error or extention but I do not know how to find it
Hi,
Please make sure that you allow comment from post backend – http://screencast.com/t/UqQJyp4s8T
Also you can check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if comments section is there.
Please provide a link so we can take a look.
Thanks!
Hi,
After you Install the Demo Data you can Import the Predefined Styles(stacks): http://screencast.com/t/Lc6Dho2jdh – http://screencast.com/t/pumXbxmy3u Please note that if you activate a stack, it will import only settings like fonts, colors…
You have to create an homepage and add elements from Visual Composer(something similar like tech homepage and choose page template) – http://screencast.com/t/ltu9s7WuUXlw go to the block settings and choose filter articles, sort order, pagination.. – http://screencast.com/t/4Lsdy5hlnD – http://screencast.com/t/1sMtJn7k71n8
Also I see that now you use blog…you have to change to a static frontpage from Settings – http://screencast.com/t/nU4WTpuLTPp
Please also check our documentation and let me know if you have issues related to the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-documentation/
Thanks!
Hi,
I’m trying to add an image every 5th post in a visual composer block (Block 9). Where is the loop that controls the posts that are displayed in that block?
I’m using the page-homepage-blank.php template, and the loop in that file doesn’t seem to be what i’m looking for.
I also tried td_module_8.php, but adding a counter in there didn’t seem to do the trick.
Is there somewhere else I shold be looking?
I’m not asking for you to do this for me, just point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
I’m also using the Gethub Envato plug-in and have set it up per the instructions Emil posted above. No problems so far, thanks for the tip! As for the Visual Composer plug-in update that comes inside of the package, it never automatically installs the latest version of plug-in, even if you’re using the Gethub solution, correct? Or is there a way to automatically have the updater also update the VC plugin at the same time it does the theme? Thanks!
