- NewsmagHomepage – How to build and set it
You can activate the “style” from the theme styles, but you still need to setup your home page however you want it to look and choose your content/categories to feature — no way for theme to know what categories you might have created.
Don’t use the “demo content” unless you’re just demo’ing for client; all that junk doesn’t help you with your own site content — just makes a mess of it.
Take a look at theme docs (link right side of page).
Normal practice would be:
1) install theme
2) use default style, or use the style import option
3) create blank page
4) build your page layout using Visual Composer; possibly create custom sidebar to use widgets on front page.
5) set your page as the static front page from WP settings
6) adjust page to tweak and fine tune
Fun to experiment. You can always do a working page, make that live. Then start new blank page and tweak that, then switch to that new version once completed the way you want it.
Not that difficult, but you do need to setup your own front page, obviously.
Hope that helped 🙂

Hi,
I have checked again your page and it seems that Roboto Condensed font is not loaded in your page source. Please deactivate your plugins leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache, also try to change your fonts in Theme Panel and resave. Then check again your page on mozilla, also check the page source and see if the font is loaded.
If this doesn’t work send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look. Also paste a link to this conversation so we can know who you are.
Thanks!
Hi,
@bcnjmlopez We also use the full version of Visual Composer(unmodified) but some elements of Visual Composer don’t work fine with Newspaper for the moment. They are hidden from functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/bGrOfosrdT All these elements will be available in version 5 of the theme.
Also please note that the theme was not tested with Visual Composer 4.5.2, the latest version of the plugin included in the theme files is 4.4.4. We provide updates on a regular basis, after we test the plugin for theme compatibility the plugin is included in the latest theme update, inside the /plugins folder.
Thanks!
See the theme docs right side of page.
Basically you will need to
a) create a “page”
b) launch visual composer for the page, then add “rows” and “blocks” however you want your page done.
c) once you have it the way you want, you would then set that page as the one to show from the WP settings > reading – then it would replace default blog list.
Try clearing your caches; turn off all plugins except Visual Composer.
If something “suddenly’ changes on your site, good idea to keep track of why, and possibly “go back” or turn off something you just updated.
Be sure to make backups of things prior to doing any updates.
Hello
I bought in ThemeForest the paid version of Visual Composer 4.5.2.
But some functions do not work properly and have consulted wpbakery, and I answer the following:
“The issue is Because there is an inbuilt version of Visual Composer (or the related code) present in your theme Which is overriding the plugin standalone version and Hence it Causing the issue. You will Have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, loose You Might Otherwise the additional elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. Kindly check. ”
Can you help?
Thank you very much,

Hi,
Please clear your cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Also you can check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hi,
The footer size is the same on page and also on post, but on the page is this custom css on row(this is applied for Visual Composer rows – also in footer it is a row) that’s why it cuts the top border for your widgets titles – http://screencast.com/t/NiUi1zjjv
You can try this custom css to remove overflow for the row from the footer container – http://screencast.com/t/qiueilst
.td-footer-container .td-pb-row {
overflow: initial;
}
Or you can add some top margin for widgets from the footer – http://screencast.com/t/aKLwLHRg
.td-footer-container .widget_pages, .td-footer-container .widget_meta {
margin-top: 2px;
}
Page footer – http://screencast.com/t/Xs6EDCPW6pX
Post footer – http://screencast.com/t/EOC8sLe0akj
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and the ads are there – http://screencast.com/t/qfgUqXmqqrq please make sure that you have added your code properly and you don’t break google policies – https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/48182?hl=en
Also please note that it might take a while until your ads to appear(even a few days) and you can try this also without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and check it.
Thanks!
Hi,
What version of visual composer plugin you use and how many posts/pages you have and also have you tried increasing the memory allocated to php limit: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
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,
Please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again if it works. If you don’t have this issue anymore activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused the issue.
Also provide your site url so we can check this as I also checked this and it works fine with the latest theme version.
Thanks!
Hi,
@thebestmh We use latest theme version to help our customers and the theme was updated many times (to repair some issue added more features, update Visual Composer plugin) from the version that you use. I understand that you need that layout, but you have also updated Visual Composer plugin that was not tested with that version of the theme and also other plugins that you may need are constant updated so it is normal to appear issues. If you want to use that version you will need to customize the theme(or hire a professional) for your needs to work with the new plugins versions.
You can try this custom css and see if it works – http://screencast.com/t/mXWLMQvam
@media (min-width: 1018px){
.td_980_resp .td-slide-item-sec {
width: 263px !important;
}
}
@media (max-width: 1018px) and (min-width: 768px){
.td-slide-item-sec {
width: 200px !important;
}
}
Thanks!

Hi,
Some of Visual Composer elements don’t work properly with theme are they are hidden from functions. If you want to use one of those elements please comment or remove that code – http://screencast.com/t/A1iGhxoJjq
All these issues will be fixed and they will be available in version 5. Sorry for inconvenience!
Thanks!
They will be adding that to next version they are working on now; which was delayed due to all the changes in the XSS security fixes, and also attempting to debug issues with latest Visual Composer versions.
They are hoping for end of May … but …. no true ETA … done when done 🙂
Hi, guys!
Can you tell me, how can I post a 2/3 slider(or else content) after pagination at home page latest articles?

By using visual composer content (widgets, blocks etc) is placing above “latest articles” (under big slide).
Hello,
I have noticed in my visual composer library that some items are missing (such as “Facebook Likes”).
Have you been omitting specific visual composer elements?

Hi,
I also tested this and it works, please try without slash(I see that I put a wrong / to the img src, maybe that’s the problem): http://screencast.com/t/poGn1Ao0 – http://screencast.com/t/RCzhtNv4Ea
<a href="#"><img src="http://martatalavera.com.mialias.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/CABECERA_SHOWROOM-optimizada2.jpg">hola</a>
Also check this without any plugins leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if works.
Thanks

For about a week now I’ve received a series of fatal error messages lately, maybe one in three times I visit the website. One by one I’ve shut down plugins like WP Total Cache, WordPress SEO etc and Godaddy suggested replacing core files if the problems persist.
Any idea why I keep getting these messages?
Last week there were these messages:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/content/67/11400967/html/throughcracks/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/frontend/class-opengraph.php on line 521
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 97169 bytes) in /home/content/67/11400967/html/throughcracks/wp-includes/class-wp-embed.phpon line 315
Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0
Then it went away for a few days.
Now I’m getting these.
The last two look like they may be associated with WPBakery Visual Composer?
Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

So far it seems like it has been primarily limited to the front page I believe. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
What theme version do you use? As I have checked this with your logo and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/6ZeFHKl3Fa
The latest theme is 4.6.3 and the latest version of Visual Composer tested with the theme. Please use this guide if you need to update (FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and update also the theme’s plugins that come with the theme’s files from /plugins folder.
You can try this custom css if you don’t want to update the theme – http://screencast.com/t/TFLiNWd0
@media (max-width: 767px){
.mobile-logo-wrap img {
width: 150px !important;
top: 0 !important;
}
}
Thanks!
Yes I tried.
I tried these all

Hi,
Try this code in your header style file – http://pastebin.com/cAx8Bmf0
And use only this custom css to add background as the logo and the ad are already positioned: http://screencast.com/t/cWnFn9gdYt
.full-bg {
background-color: red;
}
Unfortunately Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer is not tested with the theme, so I can only recommend you to check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer and Ultimate Addons active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. Also if you still have issues with it please try with a default theme and see how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, also clear cache and check again if it works. If don’t have this issue anymore activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this issue.

Hi – Trying to figure out if there is any configuration where we can use the Big Slide across 2/3 of a 3 column layout? We’ve tried just about everything, various mixes of template settings, page attributes and Visual Composer elements. Screen capture of builder area here. Simply looking for Big Slide at top, 2 columns of content under and sidebar along the right column. Tried both actual sidebar layout and full layout with “Widgetized” Sidebar content element. Right now, area just remains blank and pushes any other content down. If we add a background color to the content block, the color shows, but no Big Slide.
Thanks so much for your time, any suggestions would be appreciated.
