Don’t over write folders when updating the main theme; you need to DELETE the old folders and replace with NEW folders.

The visual composer didn’t change with 1.4,
but otherwise try using my “moving to newsmag theme” sticky topic.

I just did this yesterday, and I’m now on 1.4.

I don’t use child themes, myself due to consistent problems with plugins.

Remember you need to turn off caching, clear caching/CDN reset if used, and turn off all plugins when updating theme.

Chris,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I have tried it every way possible.. I just tried again. I only have visual composer installed at the moment. Just cleared cache and tried it. No go.

When I go to “import predefined styles” and click “Tech” it should change my homepage to the tech layout right? With the three post boxes across the top? If so, the site stays looking like a regular blog with the posts all in order going straight down? Nothing is on the sidebar either.

I’ve messed around with it all day trying to figure it out. I have no clue at this point..

Thanks

Did you try with cache cleared and off, and with all plugins off except for visual composer?

I have zero problems with this.

Have you tried running the theme with *only* the Visual Composer plugin activated and all other plugins off? Then checking to see what errors you might be getting? Then if none, slowly turn on each other plugin to see what happens? This is best way to debug the problem, and figure out WHAT is causing overload.

I’ve had no such problems with the theme over here, beyond the normal hiccup doing updates (see my sticky post on migrating theme).

Hi there …

Thank you very much! This helps us 🙂

But just for asking the question … Did you see something strange in our code, which may have caused this?
I am asking this, because I saw a thread about the visual composer, which seems to cause some issues right now.
Of course my Homepage is built with it. So maybe these gaps have been caused by the composer?

Best regards
Torsten

I personally would rather not have the SEO stuff tied to the theme, as I’ve changed themes all over the place the past 10 years using WordPress, and there is no guarantee a theme will be updated for new SEO tech/requirements. With YOAST SEO, they now have a business model to sell premium versions and also sell the Google News plugin (which I use with 20 site license). I can swap themes if need be, without losing settings or foobar the sitemap.

Adding additional functions might be nice for the native system, but as long as there is an option to disable it all, I’d be fine with that.

The old Yoast was merely a collection of things we used to do with functions.php frankly, and custom headers. But now, it’s evolved quite well and works well “most of the time.” But it’s kind of like saying “why not build in Visual Composer features and stop using that plugin” … well, a whole separate dev team work on that, and they make money on each license, so it continues to evolve.

I’ve used themes in past that tried to do it all, and they end up being neglected, one month delay to fix something simple, etc.

SO, for me, I’d rather let Radu and folk make sure the theme functions with WordPress properly, supports a wide variety of WP standards, and then leave the “extensions” to others. Just my thought.

I used to build my own themes, and it’s a pain in the arse (hence how I ended up here).

But as many have said, this a forum, so discussion and exchange of ideas is all good. 🙂

(and how about browser and forum designers turning off freakin’ auto correct … changing build to built… it’s not possible for me to mis-type a b next to a t on the keyboard! Argh!)

🙂
try installing just the

Newspaper-tf/plugins/js_composer.zip

or, what works best is to unzip that folder, then FTP the entire folder to

/yoursite/wp-content/plugins/js_composer

If you’re trying to use the Envato tools plugin, punch yourself right now and stop (kidding). That has never worked right for us anywhere, anytime, even in an eggnog fueled dream haze (also kidding). 🙂

Also note you need to turn off any caching and CDN shenanigans before installing plugins, and you also need to fully eradicate any pre-existing js_composer folder, and *not* upload over the existing folder.

Maybe that helps somebody…. again, this is WordPress 101 folks.

Sorry if I sound like a crank. Worked most of the holiday and starting to sound like a bozo, I suppose.

Chris, I agree, I would pay $20 to TagDiv to install Visual Composer, since it is proving to be the thorn in many sides.

As for blame, it is not a blame game, it is more of a “can we get this fixed please”.

BTW thank you for your advice that states “You don’t install plugins by uploading the entire theme, fyi”, maybe this something that should be said so you are aware, unless your point is that they made it and I missed it.

In any case I wait for their assistance for your matter.

Have a nice evening : )

TagDiv should probably start offering a $20 install option for those who are unable to properly install Visual Composer.

Excellent! Thanks for your time and help.

1.- Thanks, on my opinion it’s definitely more useful than have the option to show or not by category the Big Grid.
4.- It is weird. I used “Regenerate Thumbnails” plugin but it didn’t work on my site. I will try with the two other plugins suggested on the article.
5.- Incredible, thanks! Now, could it be possible to add “$td_mod_single” somewhere to the line of code? Because now is missing my custom font for Post elements – Date.
6.1.- “display: none” did’t work. For the homepage I added the extra class to text sidebar widget using Visual Composer, and then add the custom code to Advance CSS – iPad Portrait, but it seems VC is not adding the class to the widget. For the other pages (posts) I use a text widget adding <div class=”class123″> and it works, but the title of the widget continues to appear.
6.2.- Same result as in 6.1: using VC doesn’t work, and using “div class” it does but the widget title is not considered on the class.

–> Is there a way to use Smart Sidebar when Slider is on the same page? Or use other slider (Rev Slider, RokGallery, etc.) could be better?

Dear tagDiv-team,

I’m afraid I still can’t get visual composer to work. When I try to activate it it keeps loading but that’s it. I had a fresh WP 4.1 installation and followd the guide from Chris. I’d really appreciate some help so that I can get my site started.

Thank you very much in advance,
Kai
