Nope.
That was only if you somehow wanted to automagically update that stuff …
I never did any phpadmin thing to my sites on updating Newsmag… ever!
That was a special case. For us, we just had to fix one block that changed, and that wss it; just updated that, resaved home page. Done.
I think the MySQL thing was for folks who had built massive custom pages, categories, etc., using Visual Composer — in our case we only used it for home page and nothing else.

Hi
you can upgrade right to 1.71 — just be aware some of the codes on front page changed with Visual Composer and tagdiv blocks. So, you pretty much just need to revisit your home page after update and update/change a couple of blocks if they no longer work. Not too painful. 🙂
Hi,
In Newspaper 5 will be available the latest version of Visual Composer. The latest version provided with the theme’s files is 4.4.4 and you can find it in the /plugins folder from files that you have downloaded from themeforest.
Thanks!
Can you provide us with the latest version of Visual COmposer?
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your file if you use CDN, then check if ajax pagination works (infinite load, load more). Also check the posts content. If don’t have this issue anymore please activate your plugins one by on and see which one caused this issue.
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.
Thanks!
Hi,
This element is apart of the Visual composer plugin so if you want to alter the code here you can find it – http://screencast.com/t/4AoxLeafaFa1
Thanks!
Hi,
The theme doesn’t control og data, so you have to use a plugin for this like Seo by Yoast and check your page source if your meta data are added properly. Also this error is not related to Visual Composer plugin. I have checked some of your articles and you don’t get that error for all, some of them(that I checked) can be shared fine – http://screencast.com/t/V2GN9KNqGfa – http://screencast.com/t/lJEJXe9SP
Not sure why you get this error for some of your articles, I think that this is a facebook issue – it seems that either your site, or your host, or where your image paths are were maybe blacklisted – please check this as reference – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24636903/what-does-failed-to-get-composer-template-data-mean-in-facebook-lint
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, you can disable Revolution Slider if you don’t use it, as this is an optional plugin . Only Visual Composer plugin has to be active if you create your pages using pagebuilder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/installation/
Thanks!
Hi,
a)i tried all things your listed options, except “you have to set a featured video”, nothing works.
I dont understand what is meant by “set a featured video”.
Do we have to set every single video imported to the site, to featured image? but this doesn’t make sense.
We use a video robot and it imports different videos from youtube etc.
The index page shows these different videos and they change hourly. In the hundreds.
But still after clicking on them it opens the page but there is no video.
I didn’t set up a single post page. We just installed the theme and child theme as in documentation,
and loaded the settings and demos. http://www.yougothype.com is our page. i hope this is the link you want.
Please help.
b)Infinite Load doesn’t seem to work on any page.
Again we followed the email steps you sent but they didn’t work.
Our settings:
In Visual Composer for Main Page/Index page:
Parent – Homepage Infinite Scroll
Template- Homepage Blank
Used Block 8
-multiple category filter(hollywood, rides, luxury)
-Random Posts
Limit Post Number-5 (this is set automatically)
Pagination – infinite load is set
(load more was also tried. this shows on page. but when clicked its shows load circle but nothing more is added or changed. so this doesn’t work either. FYI.)
But please help with the Infinite Load.
Without these the site is useless 🙁
best regards,
Bora
Well.. note that for a “lot” of folks they are not having this “CPU death” issue. But also a lot are. Also there were a lot of conflicts with VC 4.5 and Yoast SEO.
So, not everybody having this issue. I know Radu has been trading email with the Bakery folks to share this experiences (and my server data presumably).
From what I understand, and might not be accurate their plans are:
a) the shim provides a solution for those of us with the CPU spiral of doom, as stop gap – works fine with VC 4.42 on my box — no problem for short term use at all as long as I’m not getting huge traffic spike ( so I check my CPU usage before messing with it )
b) they want to push Newspaper 5 asap; which has the threads of things from Newsmag (sticky sidebar, more layout options for home page; control over the blocks/images, etc.); and presumably will include VC 4.5.4 or whatever.
c) Newsmag 5 would then be a dev track for possibly building their own page builder that does not use VC at all.
So, there isn’t going to be a “death of TagDiv” or themes not working. Mine are working just fine and no need to upgrade anything “right now” for me. So, only reason I upgraded to 1.71 from 1.6 was for security patches.
But try using your old version of Visual Composer — the issue is with VC not the theme, but there is some bizarre combination of things that our particular server does *not* like at all. So, in my case using the 4.4.2 for short periods does work just fine; quickly tweak, then switch off VC, and huzahhh! I won’t install any VC version newer than that. Period. Luckily I’m not using VC for posts or pages; only the HOME PAGE … so in my case unless home page getting whacked, usually not big issue. I also have the addition in my functions.php to NOT load VC code on post pages.
So, delete new version of VC you installed;
reinstall older version of VC (any 4.4x version should work in theory)
leave shim active
turn on VC, and edit your page/layout.
Obviously you should be deactivating any caching stuff while messing with VC changes.
Anyway… mine is working ….

as noted in my posts; you need to activate the Visual Composer to “edit” your home page again or anything else using VC. The shim just provides the CSS for the TagDiv modules so they work — there is no other way to edit VC layouts except with VC.
So, you can leave the shim active, turn on VC, then go edit stuff, save, then turn off VC.
That is what I have been doing. Luckily you don’t generally need to keep changing your homepage layout all the time; just tweak stuff. And of course, a sidebar for home page can be edited from appearance > widgets without VC being active.
Hope that helped 🙂
TIP: use the VC version from January (e.g., that came with NewsMag 1.6; 4.4.2) if you have that, as that does allow me to edit stuff without crashing box. I am *not* using the latest VC on any of our sites for anything.
Hi,
You can check this also without any plugins leave just Visual Composer and Seo by Yoast active, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN, also check if your og: meta data are added properly in your page source. Also you can check this topic – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/opengraph-not-working
Thanks!
Well, my website’s (www.techlegends.in) Facebook link preview is not working when I try to share a post. And, when I tried to debug the URL on Facebook, it shows that it “Failed to get Composer template data”. So, I thought that it may be related something to Visual Composer. Is it?
Hi,
Please check our demo – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/ When you hover a subcategory from megamenu it should show articles from that specific subcategory. Also when you click on a subcategory it should load subcategory page.
Please check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check if you still have issues with this.
Thanks!
Hi,
What version of visual composer plugin you use and how many posts/pages you have.
Please let us know and also provide your site’s url.
Recently we had various reports about the VC plugin which uses lots or resources and causing issues when using the latest version of the plugin and on site’s with a large amount of content and on some servers.
You can switch to an older version of the VC plugin, it should solve this until we have a reliable solution available as we’re currently testing a solution for this which will allow you not to use the VC all the time just when you built your pages then use this Shim plugin which will render theme’s elements shortcodes.
You can find more detailed info in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/whats-going-to-newsmag-newsmag-is-really-bad-for-sites-with-high-traffic/
Thanks
Hi,
What theme version do you use? I also checked this with the latest theme version 4.6.3 and did not found any issues. If you need to update please follow this guide(FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ Also check this without any plugins active leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
We had some problems with the activation account in the past weeks, sorry for the delay.
A plugin may interfere with the activation process, try to disable all plugins, enable only Visual Composer and activate the theme. Once the activation is done activate the rest of the plugins.
Thank you!
Hi,
Visual Composer plugin will be updated in the next theme update after it is tested with the theme, the current version provided with the theme’s files is 4.4.4. We currently working on version 5 of Newspaper and try to release it as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins leave just Visual Composer and Jetpack plugins active, clear cache and check again if you still have this issue, maybe there is a conflict between plugins. If don’t have this issue anymore please activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check if you have this issue without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and also clear cache. Also please check your console for errors when you save changes.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins , leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again if you still have this issue with fonts. Also try to change and resave the font for mobile menu items. I also checked this and did not found any issues on mobiles.
If you still have this issue please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look. Paste also a link to this topic so we can know who you are.
Also I have checked that pie chart on android and did not found issue. On which device and browser did you checked?
Thanks!
Hi,

Hi,
I have checked your site and found these errors in console – http://screencast.com/t/9etQhZPZc also ajax pagination doesn’t work. Please deactivate all plugins except of Visual Composer plugin, clear cache, disable all js/css minification and then check if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
I would like to add a Homepage Post on my landing page as you have in your demo and in your documentation under ‘Extra Content’ but when I go to Visual Composer that feature is not available/included.
What can be the issue?
Thanks Chris for the quick reply.
I have missed to use the Visual Composer, I thought that style import option will be sufficient to be bring grid and all the other tunings.
Thanks again
