Hi Marius,
Can you please help me with my post? https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/woocommerce-widgets-how-to-get-same-as-newspaper-preview/#post-12204
I am new to your theme and can’t manage to get woocommerce widgets into the page visual composer.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I know how to add infinite with visual composer. My question is a bit more complicated.
In the post page, under the comments, (maybe I should use the file comments.php or single.php) I want to add module 9 with infinite scroll with php code .(Like daily mail posts.)
I cant do this with visual composer.is it possible to wotk with shortcode?? Like [module 9 short code here] .
Any solution?
hi,
you probably did something wrong, our theme uses visual composer and if it is a problem with it many user will complain on the forum.
Thanks for you message.

hi,
visual composer is used to create pages not posts.

I have a problem when editing post does not load visual composer
It’s a pain but take your time to do it once and things are just much simpler from there. Don’t forget to activate the child theme.
No problem. I appreciate your insight based on your own experiences. I am going to go the Child Theme route. Should have from the start, but neglected to put it in place from day one.
Thanks again.

Not exactly the kind of issue I had… I messed up.
For your problem, unfortunately, you must upload the whole theme fresh since you missed the patches – that’s the most sure-fire way to get it done.
If your customizations are in all in the Custom CSS tab of the theme panel, then they are safe in the database.
If your customizations are all in the child theme files then they are safe from a full install of the parent theme.
If your customizations are all in the parent theme then you have just a few choices and none are great.
1. Never update the theme again, which also means you can’t upgrade to WordPress 3.9 as 3.6 and below of the theme aren’t compatible with WP 3.9
2. Best Option – Move your customizations to the child theme and Custom CSS of the theme panel so you don’t lose them on future upgrades to the parent theme ( Here’s Newspaper child theme documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation/ )
3. Worst Option – copy all of your customizations to Newspaper 3.8, meaning you’ll have to do that with each update
4. You could go through all of the updates since version X to 3.8 compiling a complete list of modified files, but if you miss one your site will likely break ( 3.7 had a major change, see https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/ for instructions to convert the Visual Composer to a plugin )
Wish the news could be better. Good luck.
Hello. I have a question. My WP install shows I am using version x of Newspaper theme. I can’t find the patches to go from version x to 3.8. I realize I can reinstall everything, but there are quite a few customizations I don’t want to lose in the processing of updating.
What is the best approach to this in your opinion? It looks like you had similar issues.
Thanks.
Philip
Firstly – thanks for this theme – its awesome.
I have a problem where all of my 126 post categories are not appearing in multiple areas of Newspaper. This image shows
http://screencast.com/t/QQ1YzAdgUEd
This show the Newspaper’s Theme Panel > Categories area:
http://screencast.com/t/SInOx5IbT
Note how I have scrolled to the bottom. There are many categories missing, it only shows about 30 instead of 126.
And this image shows a select list in a Visual Composer “Edit block” modal popup when editing a page. It shows same number of categories as in the last screenshot:
http://screencast.com/t/U7b6DsPFvOa
How can this be fixed so we can work with all our categories?
Hi,
since the update to wordpress 3.9 the theme customizer including the visual composer wouldn’t work no more. It doesn’t open any options.
Also, where can I find an option to update to the new version?
hi,
I think you forgot to add visual composer plugin.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
Thanks for you message.

Still have the problem with the missing images in Visual Composer even with today’s update.
@papap You should be able to handle the upgrade just fine from 3.6 -> 3.8 but 3.7 had a big change you need to catch up with.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
Follow that guide to make the change on the visual composer plugin and install the 3.8 files in place of 3.7 as instructed. Basically…
1. Upload 3.8
2. Delete the wpbakery folder from your server
3. Follow the prompts on your dashboard to install the required plugins
Happy hunting
Hey Marius,
Just installed v3.8 and can confirm that the tabs are fixed. Thank you for the updates.
Thanks to Kronos1723 and Marius.
Guess I assumed the update was installed as before (and missed any extra details??).
Now installed and some pages where I have used Visual Composer are missing showing the image boxes. I did try deleting the images and remade those image boxes in the pages but it still leaves a blank space. Am I missing something else?
Hi,
Make sure you have installed and activate the visual composer. https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
Thanks!
One thing to note is that the Ultimate Addons component is 3rd party while Templatera is made by the same people who make VC. Choose from too many columns and you might get overcharged.
I’ve had a look at Templatera but in my opinion it doesn’t compare. It would be fantastic if you can get this to work with Newspaper.
Visual Composer is not working now I have updated to Newspaper 3.7 (previous home page a mess etc). Looking at the files there are 560 compared with over double the number in previous versions…
Hi Marius,
I’m still trying to get to the bottom of it.
I updated Newspaper to 3.7 and WP to 3.9 and activated the extension and had the problem.
My next step was uninstall it and revert back to the old versions of Newspaper and WP.
It appears that the AJAX problem doesn’t return until all three are activated.
Originally it stopped any of the “Load more” elements on the blocks from working.
I’ve now managed to get some of them working but not all.
If you look on my staging site you’ll see the main slider still isn’t working. And none of the actual features of the extension itself.
http://betr.staging.wpengine.com
Its a shame because that extension would be a really good addition to the them if i could get it working! I’m going to drop the plugin authors a line too but I can’t replicate this problem on other themes.
Thanks,
Hi,
Do you have the latest theme version? That is a bug with WP 3.9 and Visual Composer. You need to update to latest version 3.7 https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-v-3-7/
Thanks!
Hi,
@betterretailing can you give us more details about the issue with that plugin? We don’t have a license to test it.
Thanks!
Hi,
If the message not show for you, you can install the VC manually, the plugin is located in plugins folder in Theme: http://screencast.com/t/0ZmPHTuZR0
Hope this help!
Thanks for the message!
Hi:
while reading the instructions to upgrade to version 3.7, it says that I need to activate the parent theme in order to install Visual Composer (now as separate plugin).
In my case, I installed the plugin while using the child theme, I just uploaded the plugin zip file and installed/activated it. And it works fine.
Is there a problem doing it that way? Or is it mandatory to install the way you indicate on the instructions? New future version of VC will be supplied by you?
BTW, I would suggest that any new upcoming version special instructions would be published on the main Newspaper forum as sticky post, because, it’s kinda hiddend on another forum category “Updates info” that maybe the major of the users didn’t read and found that after upgrading there where problems and “bugs”.
Thanks!
