Hello,
Since updating to WordPress 7.0 today, I have detected a visual/functional issue in the builder’s CSS panel, specifically in the Margin / Padding fields of the Single Image module.
I’m leaving you a Loom video where the behavior can be seen clearly:
https://www.loom.com/share/26601c055dd3494d9745ede4635d838b
The problem is the following: before the update, within the visual margin/padding scheme, the fields allowed values of at least two characters or values with a unit to be displayed correctly. For example, if a padding value was 10%, the field allowed me to see 10 or 10%, or at least scroll inside the input in a useful way to check the full value.
Now the behavior has changed. The fields are displayed too narrow and only show one character of the value. For example, visually it may look like the padding is 1 / 1 / 1, but in reality the values are of the type 10% / 10 / 10%. When I move inside the field, instead of being able to see the full value or at least two characters, only one character is shown at a time; in this example, in order to see the %, I have to move within the field and instead of being able to see 0%, as part of 10%, only that is shown: the %.
This makes the CSS panel difficult to use, because I cannot visually check whether the real value is 1, 10, 10%, etc. The problem does not seem to be that the value has been lost, but rather that the panel input is displaying it cut off or with insufficient width. I have been using TagDiv for more than 7 years and I know what I am talking about when it comes to composition and the details of the composer.
I have tested it both in the desktop composer and in the mobile composer. I have also tested it in incognito mode, in case it could be due to browser cache. In addition, the page cache was cleared after the update.
For this reason, I understand that it could be a visual incompatibility of the builder after updating to WordPress 7.0, an internal CSS issue in the panel, a change in the width of the inputs, a rendering issue in the editor, or some incompatibility with the current version of WordPress/browser.
It is not necessarily that the page design has changed, but rather that the editor no longer displays the full values correctly inside the margin/padding fields.
The issue directly affects editing, because it makes it very difficult to review or modify margins and paddings without the risk of changing incorrect values.
Thank you. Please, I would really appreciate your help with this.
Hi,
You could just use a popup, instead of a menu that was designed to be used on mobile devices.
For example we use popups on many of our more recent demos, the popups can contain anything and they can open from any side of the page.
Like in this demo -> https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_liberty_case_pro/ That hamburger menu from the header is a popup. The popup is set to open a page from the website, which can be built with the composer and can contain basically anything.
There are many other popup examples if you want me to provide them. My suggestion is to consider using a popup, it’s not difficult to set up -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/modal-popup/ and in my opinion it’s easier than limiting the mobile menu width and making sure it looks good across all devices.
Let me know if I can help with it.
Thank you!
I am trying to assign my staging site as the 2nd site for the license. There is no way to assign it because you say I have another staging site that is licensed. That is incorrect. The license applies to TravelMaine.com but the staging2.travelmaine.com was deleted a long time ago. Why are you making me buy another license for a new staging site? That does not seem fair to me.Â
Also, my developer said the site is breaking on the staging site when they try to update because I need the two plugins (see message below). Why are they not included in the update? Is this happening because you will not allow me to use my license on a staging site? Please advise ASAP!
Hello Lisa,
Thank you for contacting our Help Desk.
We have completed testing of the theme update on the staging site.
The Newspaper parent theme was upgraded successfully, while the child theme remained in place as expected. However, after the update, we found an issue with two required companion plugins, td-composer and td-cloud-library. These plugins did not remain active properly after the upgrade, which caused problems with the theme functionality and page layout.
Because of this, we reverted the change after testing so the site would remain stable and continue working as expected.
At this point, the issue does not appear to be with the update process itself, but rather with the plugin versions that should match the updated theme version. The package provided seems to be missing the corresponding plugin files, or it does not include the correct versions needed for this release.
To proceed safely, we would need the complete theme package for this version, including the bundled plugin files, so we can install the matching versions and test the update again.
Please send over the full package if available, and we will be happy to continue from there.
Best Regards,
Kamen Kumanov

Hi,
The website you mentioned doesn’t seem to be loading for me at this time. Maybe you are referring to the other website.
I see a More menu item, it seems to be an actual category https://factcheckedexplanations.com/category/more/
A “More” menu item isn’t normally meant to lead anywhere, it’s used as a placeholder menu item when there isn’t enough space to display all the menu items in a row. The option can be activated in the composer when clicking on the header menu element -> https://prnt.sc/RZ2Q0faxm6gM
On mobile however using the header menu from desktop isn’t usually the best choice. There are these other menu elements that may be better -> https://prnt.sc/9ya8FoPcEuw9 Or even a popup can be used as the menu.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you!
I see it. It seems to be a border bottom set on the top row, the one containing the logo. Do you want to remove it from there?
If so, then in the composer please click on the row containing the logo and check in the CSS tab -> https://prnt.sc/KLf68zcFmWMx If there is a 1 set there in the border bottom box, remove it and the border should be gone.
Thank you!
Hi there,
I’ve been trying for awhile now to upgrade a site to 12.7.6 from 12.7.5 but each time it breaks the top portion of the site. After upgrading, I re-install and activate the tagDIV Composer and tagDIV Cloud Library as both installations are removed but the logo, nav menu, ad, weather widget and general formatting are removed. This is what it should look like:
This is what it looks like after updating the theme:
These are the theme plugins that are installed and activated:
Thoughts on what might be causing this?
Hello,
I have a critical issue on my news site: I cannot publish new articles. When accessing the editor (Add New Post), the page stays blank.
Technical details:
WordPress: version 7.0 (latest)
Theme: Newspaper, version 12.7.6 (latest)
tagDiv Composer: latest version available
All plugins are up to date
Console error (DevTools):
edit-post.min.js?ver=28ef50b859708963e197:1 Uncaught TypeError: (0 , yt.registerLegacyWidgetBlock) is not a function
at Object.pn (edit-post.min.js?ver=28ef50b859708963e197:1:49057)
at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (wp-edit-post-js-after:5:25)
There are also deprecation warnings related to your blocks:
Block with API version 2 or lower is deprecated since version 6.9.
Note: The block “tds/partiallocker” is registered with API version 1.
Note: The block “tds/contentlocker” is registered with API version 1.
Plus a 404 error when loading load-scripts.php.
Likely cause: the registerLegacyWidgetBlock function from the @wordpress/widgets package was removed in WP 7.0, while a script injected by your theme/Composer (wp-edit-post-js-after) is still calling it, which completely breaks the Gutenberg editor from loading.
What I’ve tried:
Temporarily deactivating other plugins (issue persists, so it’s isolated to Newspaper/tagDiv Composer)
Clearing cache (LiteSpeed Cache, full purge)
Confirmed all components are on the latest version
Please confirm if this is a known compatibility issue with WP 7.0, and let me know your estimated timeline for a fix/patch. In the meantime I’m using Classic Editor as a workaround, but I need Gutenberg working again as soon as possible since the site is active and requires frequent article publishing.
Thank you
Sorry to hear that.
But after some practice it won’t be difficult anymore.
I explained about the mobile theme plugin in the other topic. It’s an optional plugin that you can deactivate.
The theme is built around the composer builder, so mostly everything that you want to customize is done with the composer. So for example if you want to customize the category template, you can use the composer -> https://prnt.sc/ZHgimchHOI0C Same for the post template, tag template, etc.
I can help, let me know what you want to do and I will provide instructions. It won’t take much time to learn how to use the theme.
Let me know.
Thank you!
Hi,
That is the mobile theme -> https://prnt.sc/_IsOgGtqqsrd
The mobile theme is an optional plugin that we provide, more about it here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/mobile-theme-introduction/
If you don’t want to use the mobile theme, please deactivate it -> https://prnt.sc/HA6sR-UP9iXu
Or if you want to use it, the options for customizing it are all in the theme panel -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
If you have any questions about the mobile theme, let me know.
I see you purchased the theme a few days ago. It takes some time to fully learn how to use the theme and the composer. It is the same for most other premium themes and page builders. We’re here to help however, so if you have any questions let me know and I’ll gladly help. You can create new topics here on the forum, or if you prefer discussing by email you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com Either way is fine.
Thank you!
Hi,
There’s much to discuss here.
Did you maybe update wordpress before all these issues happened? I see the website uses wordpress 7, which is the latest version released recently. And it uses Newspaper 7, which from 10 years ago. Also WPBakery 5, which is from 10 years ago.
I suggest updating everything, because it will have to be done eventually. Then the remaining problems can be investigated.
We still provide WPBakery in the theme package -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
WPBakery does not require a license, it has always been provided by us as a bundled plugin according to the guide -> https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/213762463-Bundled-Plugins
So a bundled plugin doesn’t require activation -> https://prnt.sc/nAR4whjbEtY5
If a page is displaying code, it usually means that either the plugin that renders that code is not active, or the page is broken. If the WPBakery plugin is active and there is still code, then the page must be broken. Updating the theme will not fix a broken page. The code from the page must be reviewed to see why it is broken. Or, if a recent modification broke the page perhaps and the page worked fine before, then an older revision can be restored -> https://prnt.sc/JgbjlyL-i6W2
Worst case scenario, the page must be rebuilt, which takes a few minutes, but not necessary if it can be fixed.
My suggestion is to update everything first. Then I will investigate any remaining issues. You can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login for the website so I can investigate. I’ll help as much as I can.
Let me know.
Thank you!
Hello,
We are currently working on the website:
https://www.sostenible.com.mx/
We are having an issue with the page editor / builder. The pages are no longer editable through the builder, and on the frontend the content is being displayed as raw Visual Composer / WPBakery shortcodes instead of being rendered properly.
For example, the homepage is showing content like:
[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_2"]…
[td_block_2 custom_title="ACTIVIDADES PRIMARIAS"]…
[/vc_column][/vc_row]
The site was originally running an older version of the Newspaper theme, version 7. Everything was working correctly before, but the issue suddenly started. We then migrated/updated the theme to version 12, expecting the problem to be resolved, but the issue still persists.
Based on what we are seeing, it looks like the problem may be related to Visual Composer / WPBakery Page Builder, because the builder is not loading correctly and it appears to be asking for a license or activation. Since the content depends heavily on Visual Composer / WPBakery shortcodes, the site is currently unable to render the pages correctly.
Could you please help us review the following?
Confirm if the bundled Visual Composer / WPBakery plugin included with the Newspaper theme is active and compatible with version 12.
Check if the plugin requires a separate license or if it should be activated through the theme package.
Verify why the shortcodes are being printed as plain text instead of being parsed/rendered.
Confirm if there is a missing plugin, corrupted builder installation, or compatibility issue after the migration from Newspaper v7 to v12.
Let us know the recommended steps to restore the page builder functionality without losing the existing page content.
The main issue is that the website content is still stored using Visual Composer / WPBakery shortcodes, but the builder is no longer processing them correctly.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Adalberto Larios
Hi,
There were a few issues in the previous composer version, we fixed them in the latest update -> https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-changelog/ In case you are using an older version, please update the theme. The composer is now version 5.4.5 and the theme is 12.7.6.
Thank you!
Hi,
I think I’ve seen that happening before on a few websites. The ads were loading in the composer edit screen, making it hard to use. You could use an ad blocker extension in the browser, and activate it when you want to use the composer.
If I may ask, how is the auto ads code loaded on the website? Is it with a plugin, or added in the theme panel, or by a different method?
Thank you!
Hi,
I received a message from BlogVault abour the vulnerability of Tagdiv Composer 5.4.4:
“The The tagDiv Composer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.4.4. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.”
Please advise.
Thank you!
Hi,
While I haven’t tested the plugin myself, I suggest using a regular post loop in the search template, meaning either of these two -> https://prnt.sc/SjVO_yiOaVck So not a flex loop, or a flex loop builder, or a block.
From what I see you are using a cloud template for the search results, is there no option to edit it with the composer? There should be one directly in the admin bar -> https://prnt.sc/Bsw1_b8OQH1j Or the option from the cloud library dashboard -> https://prnt.sc/lLMGfC8RQPvS
Then replace the flex loop builder that you are currently using in the search template with one of those two basic loops. Then it should work. If it does, then all that’s left is to customize the design of the loop to match the website a bit.
I hope it works fine.
Thank you!
Hello,
I’m using the Newspaper theme (version 12.7.6, with tagDiv Composer) on my live news site zzpnieuws.nl, which has an archive of 1,100+ articles. I want to use the Relevanssi search plugin to improve site search, but the search results page returns no results when Relevanssi is active.
What I’ve confirmed:
– With Relevanssi active, the search results page (e.g. /?s=schijnzelfstandigheid) shows “no results” for terms that appear hundreds of times in my archive, even though Relevanssi’s index is fully built and correct (1,122 documents, ~139,597 terms; posts and pages both included) and all Relevanssi settings are correct.
– The moment I deactivate Relevanssi, the theme’s native search works again immediately and returns the expected results. So the theme search itself is fine; the conflict is specifically between the search results template and Relevanssi.
– This persists on the latest version 12.7.6, with all caches cleared.
I’ve read an earlier reply from your team (Bettina) to another user, suggesting to edit the search page with tagDiv Composer and use a Flex Block with the filter “Search: Current Search” and no offset value. I’d like to apply this correctly but I’m not sure which template controls my search results page.
My questions:
1. Which template controls the search results page in the Newspaper theme – is it a Cloud Library template, a dedicated Search template in the Website Manager, or the theme default? I have a custom archive page that contains the search form, but the results appear on a separate /?s= page.
2. How should the Flex Block (“Search: Current Search”, no offset) be configured so the search results respect Relevanssi’s output instead of the theme’s own query?
3. Is there a recommended filter or hook for this that survives theme updates, rather than editing a core theme file?
I have a full backup in place and can provide temporary admin access through the official support channel if needed. This isn’t urgent – native search is working as a fallback – but I’d like to know the correct way to integrate Relevanssi with your theme.
Thank you,

Hello guys,
I just spend months on re-creating my website on the Newspaper theme. When everything was complete, I deleted everything on my root-domain folder and cloned this stagging site to the root to replace the old website.
Everything works fine – except that in the lower right corner, I now have an:
“ERROR Sitekey is invalid” message.
Please check it on my live website:
htttps://www.Pro-Street.dk
I have running through all my plugins, and as soon as I activate the theme and Tagdiv Composer, this error appears. How can I fix it? 🙂
Hello tagDiv Support,
I am experiencing a serious issue with tagDiv Composer on my website using the Newspaper theme. The Composer has gradually become slower over time, and it has now reached a point where it consistently freezes whenever I attempt to add even a single element to a page. The browser eventually displays a “Page Unresponsive” message.
The issue was not present when I initially started building the website. Composer worked normally in the beginning, but performance degraded over time until it became unusable.
Here are the troubleshooting steps I have already completed:
• Switched PHP versions from 8.3 to 8.2 with no improvement.
• Confirmed PHP settings meet recommended requirements:
PHP Version: 8.2.30
PHP Memory Limit: 512M
PHP Max Input Variables: 10000
PHP Time Limit: 180 seconds
PHP Post Max Size: 1024M
PHP Upload Max Filesize: 1024M
• Created a staging site, and the exact same issue occurs there.
• Deactivated all non-tagDiv plugins, but the issue persisted.
• Checked the browser console and only found Content Security Policy report-only warnings and slow network messages. No obvious JavaScript errors were present.
• Tested Composer on multiple pages, and the freezing behavior continues.
• Cleared caches and tested after changing PHP versions.
My hosting provider is GoDaddy, and I am trying to determine whether this is related to a known issue with tagDiv Composer, a compatibility issue, or a server-related problem such as admin-ajax.php requests or ModSecurity interference.
Could you please advise if there are any known issues related to this behavior or recommend additional troubleshooting steps? If necessary, I can also provide administrator access, browser console logs, network request information, or any other details needed to diagnose the problem.
Additionally, could you let me know if there are any known compatibility issues with the current versions of Newspaper, tagDiv Composer, or GoDaddy hosting environments?
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your guidance on resolving this issue.
Best regards,
Jesse

I bought the theme just today and was trying to get the hang of things. When I click the “Edit with TavDiv composer” button, I get the following error.
Ooops… Error 404
Sorry, but the page you are looking for doesn’t exist.

Hello TagDiv Support,
I’m using the Newspaper theme with td-composer – https://www.total-motorsport.com/
On the frontend, td-composer is loading these files:
ext-language_tools.js
ext-searchbox.js
from this path:
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/css-live/assets/external/ace/
This causes the following console errors:
Uncaught ReferenceError: define is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: ace is not defined
Because of these errors, two things are broken in the header:
The hamburger menu does not open on mobile.
The search function in the header does not work.
I have already tried:
Clearing all caches
Re-saving the header template in Composer
Multiple attempts to remove the Ace scripts (both via PHP and JavaScript)
None of these fixed the issue. The site is otherwise stable.
Could you please investigate why td-composer is loading Ace Editor assets on the public frontend and provide a fix?
Thank you.
We can’t provide support via video calls unfortunately.
The matter with the templates shouldn’t be difficult. Everything in wordpress uses templates, posts, categories, tags, etc. The templates are design basically, not content. I can try to clarify further but there isn’t much more that can be said about a post template. A post template simply displays the post you create in wordpress.
But please explain what is confusing about it, and I’ll try my best to help. Maybe it would be best to discuss it like this, you mention what you want to do with practical examples, and I provide ways to do that, or the way it is usually done.
We could also move the discussion to email if you want, especially if there are problems with the theme or the composer. I believe you mentioned some issues in the composer while editing the post template. Or maybe I misunderstood that, sorry if I did.
Please let me know so we can clear any confusion as soon as possible.
Thank you!
Thank you for the details. Let’s discuss it more.
So when you edit the template with the composer -> https://snipboard.io/gVZr6d.jpg is it not possible to click on each individual element? That should be possible.
I will explain how the template works to avoid any misunderstandings. The composer is not a post builder, it is a template builder. So the template of the post is built with it. A website usually uses one post template, so what you add in it is used for all the posts.
In the composer you are just displaying the information of the post. For example to display the post title -> https://prnt.sc/dlEIlSYZFyD- you add the title placeholder -> https://prnt.sc/UQOeezRlKBrO
Or to display the featured image -> https://prnt.sc/z6DxscJ7kE1I you add the featured image placeholder -> https://prnt.sc/0xDt3OTMbGf6
And so on. So these placeholders automatically display the information from the posts.
Right now your template contains those 5 elements. If you create a new post and view it, it will also display those 5 elements, but with the information from the new post, so different title, featured image, etc.
After making the post template display what you want and designing it how you want, you won’t be working with it at all from then on. You can just focus on creating the posts themselves.
In case there is a problem while editing the post template with the composer, I can take a look at it to try and find the cause. I’ll need access to the website (admin user and pass) which can be sent by email at contact@tagdiv.com And please also include a link to this topic in the email so I can find it easier and know what it’s about.
Thank you!
I haven’t found an answer to this: Some prebuilts use CSS animations for entire columns, such as:
td-text-animation td-right-animation td-order-2
If I’m correct, these classes are being defined within the CSS files of the TD Composer plugin. However, I’m wondering why they don’t seem to work on every page if I copy the classes and apply them to the “Extra Class” option of a column within the Composer. Any advice?
