Hi,
We will release a new theme update tomorrow in which we will include WPBakery Visual Composer plugin at it’s latest version.
Thanks Christopher/ Kronos17 for your support!
Have a nice day!
Hi,
Please let me know with which version of Safari do you noticed that this issues occur? Also try to deactivate all plugins like I said before and leave only the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin enabled and check again.
Please let me know if this issues arr still there.
Thanks
That’s about it. Of course there are situations when an upgraded plugin requires some changes to the theme that may delay the upgrade of that plugin even there are theme updates available. For example, VC recently updated from v2.x to v3.x and we got three or four theme updates before they upgraded the VC plugin, because of the changes in the theme required.
So yes, as far as bundled plugins, go with tagDiv’s updates and rest assured they’ll keep all features within Newspaper copacetic.
Exactly! A lot of theme developers work this way by including a “bundled” version vs making you go buy a copy, but the the new version adds some wonky thing which might break the theme. So, this is a good way to do it, but kind of annoying at times, if you’re easily annoyed by the “updates available” notice in the WP login screen 🙂
At least WP stopped the stupid email thing they had for a few versions … “email: you have updates available; I tried updating, but it didn’t work …” …. automatic updates not a great thing, in my book. (I turn them off in my wp-config.php file, actually.)
I think there have actually been more problems with YOAST SEO than any other plugin in recent memory. Three updates in one day sometimes … x1, x2 (OOPS DON”T USE IT), then x3 to fix the messup in x1 they didn’t fix right in x2, all in one day. Upshot: never install the new version of YOAST unless it’s to fix long standing bugs, as they often have a panic fix later on.
Sorry … didn’t mean to editorialize so much … 🙂
That’s VERY helpful! Thanks for the clarification and the speedy reply! So, if I understand you correctly, there’s no need to update any of the bundled plugins because they will automatically be updated when the theme itself gets updated. Is that right?
If so, it sounds like an excellent safeguard against “breaking my site.”
Yeah it bugs me too, especially when VC updates and there’s no new update on the theme yet. The phantom update notice and all.
But licensing prohibits tagDiv from giving out a license to VC, which would allow you to update the plugin directly, and the VC plugin has been well customized by tagDiv for seamless integration with Newspaper. If you were to get the plugin update outside of a Newspaper release, things on your site would break because features missing, added, and altered from the core release of VC.
Have a good one.
You might want to read the documentation. The plugin is a “bundled version” which is included with the theme. It is updated when the theme is updated, to ensure the theme is compatible with new version. Generally speaking there are no new features in the latest dot revision not showcased in the theme demo on themeforest, so you’re not “losing anything” by waiting for a fully tested update that won’t break your website.
You may wish to peruse the theme docs, note link top right of this forum “documentation” and this page specifically:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Hope that helps 🙂
Hello,
I thought this plugin was included with the price of the theme? I am mistaken in thinking that the updates should be too? If they’re not included, that’s something that should really be communicated on the sales page of your theme.
Please advise how to proceed… I’d like to keep the Visual Composer plugin up to date without an additional fee.
Thanks for your help,
Fred
I might have missed it somewhere in the files, but what I did find (in the bootstrap-modal.js file) is Bootstrap v2.3.1. Is that the version Newspaper uses?
I ask because Bootstrap is now at v3.0.2 with some major changes to mobile friendliness, among other differences between versions 2 and 3. I haven’t run into any problems yet with other bootstrap plugins conflicting with whatever version is in Newspaper, but as I’m about to buy a new highly updated gallery plugin from Envato, I’m concerned about the version.
So…
1. What version of Bootstrap does Newspaper v4.2.2 use?
2. If v4.2.2 uses Bootstrap v2.x, when will you upgrade to v3.x?
Thanks.
P.S. – Visual Composer is flagging my admin again for an update. Really annoying.
Hi,
First of all please deactivate all plugins except those that the theme requires and check again, to make sure that if this issue has nothing to do with some plugin conflict.
Please make sure you that you updated the VC composer plugin also and install it like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Also please make sure if you use CDN (cloudflare) or similar please clear the cache.
If nothing helps, please make a backup of your current theme installation and re-updated the theme like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Please let me know if nothing helps.
Thanks
Hi,
I was wondering if it’s possible to add author below title (besides date) in the ‘block 3’ visual composer style? But only on certain blocks, not by default.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
This in the docs, as Lucian said:
Go to your homepage while logged in.
Click “Edit page” in the admin bar at the top.
If you see a blue button labelled “Backend editor”, click it.
You are now in the Visual Composer editor.
You’ll see the rows and columns that your homepage is made up of. Inside the columns are blocks.
Edit individual blocks to change their settings, including their titles.
This is also where you change which posts these blocks show!
Make sure you also update the Revolution Slider and Visual Composer (filename js-composer) plugins, if you haven’t already. These files are found in the plugins folder in the zip you download from Themeforest and must be updated individually from the theme.
Hi,
Make sure you use the latest VC plugin version (4.3.3) with the last theme version (4.2.2) and also follow this guide when installing WPBakery Visual Composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks
and when i add elements, the elements do not load. I mean i can not enter settings of the blocks…. damn… this update has too many problems!
Currenlty visual composer isnt displayed on the home page when i add it to homepage
VC is asking me to enter license key? yes used steps to upload from your files
Hi. I know that you have a lot of posts about this, and i have read all of them, but i didn’t found any answer yet!
I use for homepage : Homepage – with article list . I had made also a comment in themeforest and the answer from staff was this:
Only one template comes with h1 page title – http://screencast.com/t/lrtO3f9ny
The page title (H1) or subtitle (H2) can be added manually using visual composer – http://screencast.com/t/fgekI1Gb – http://screencast.com/t/Uj6edkvf
Or by modifying the template files – http://screencast.com/t/2fcHKsQyVJ34
The other elements on page like block/modules titles use h3 and h4 tags. When we built the templates we followed the best practices used by Yoast and other SEO specialists.
If you hide the title on page using css display: none or moving it outside of the visible screen area (ex. position: absolute; top: 9999px; ) Google will penalize you. Here are some discussions on the subject – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3239202/whats-the-correct-way-to-hide-the-h1-tag-and-not-be-banned-from-google
But it is not good for style to have a text as h1 visible! Any other suggestion? If i set logo with h1, also in posts i am going to have 2 h1 tags, and this is not right.
My website is this: http://www.radarnews.gr/
I am using advance custom fields plugin recommended by Developers on this forum. I also followed all the old threads and understand i need to edit loop-single.php to display custom fields. But, my main focus is to display custom fields in a tab inside post. I learned how to create tabs using visual composer. Now, all i need some guidance on how can i display my custom fields inside “Tab 2”. If once setup i will copy the template and will be implent it each time i need it.
The Purpose of Tabs is to display “Description” of product in Tab1 and Specs in Tab2. Please guide me so that i can handle it properly. I also purchased a plugin that can handle everything but because the plugin uses custom post type thus is not incorporating it as i need it.
Thanks
Thanks
Hi,
Please try to update following this steps: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ and install it from the plugin folder that came with the theme files.
Also note that you have to use the latest theme version (4.2.2) with the WPBakery Visual Composer 4.3.3 version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@prorok163
Please install the plugins from the plugins folder which came with the theme files.
As Christopher wrote you don’t need licence for those plugins they are included by the theme and will be updated on each theme update.
Thanks
