Hello jeanpaultarte,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are not using the latest version of theme and also, you have some errors through your console, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/vKiqCLWIiGl My advice, is to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the required plugins which come bundled with the theme packet. Use only the tested plugins because the untested plugins can interact with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello dinkymonkey,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are not using the latest version of the theme, you ar using the child theme and also, the required plugins are not updated, sorry! First of all, you should update your theme to the latest version of it which is 7.7, update the Visual Composer to 5.0.1, move the theme to the main theme, revert it to the default state, clear all your additional customizations, clear all your caches and check the results.

Hello dukai1011,
Please notice that our theme is fully compatible with the Rev Slider and until now we do not have any bad reports in this regard. If you are using some untested plugins, you should disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. It is possible that your untested plugins to interact with your theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues. This can be a reason in this regard. If the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way, install only the plugins which come bundled with the theme packet and check the results.

Hi,
You must use a FTP client to access your server and the wordpress files. If you are not sure what login information is needed you could ask your hosting provider for clarifications. Here is some useful information about managing your site with FTP – https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_FileZilla

Hi Catalin
The website has a “under construction” plugin that requires user/password for view it. How i can send you a private access?
Anyways, here you have 2 screenshots:
Home Page, the “Noticias” tab is the Mega Menu Page

And this is the menu appearance in category “Sociedad”

Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
If this does not fix it, you can try to reinstall the theme as a faulty theme install can also create such an error. Please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thank you!
Ok, I have never used FTP and this tutorial doesn’t tell me what the host, username, password and port are. I am still very confused, and I thought this installation would be much easier than this.
Hello,
I’ve just sent you the credentials to the email above as you required.
If you’d need FTP access, let me know please.
Thanks

We are using a standard rss plugin WP RSS Aggregator. The plugin developer told us to check with you to suggest why when applying the filter the following should be making the post link go to the source rather than local post permalink:
add_filter( ‘wprss_ftp_link_post_title’, ‘__return_true’ );
… specifically the links to post from the homepage should be going to where the article was scraped from – instead the filter is being essentially ignored and simply goes to the post article rather than the original source. Using your theme the filter does work if on an archive page — I nned to know how to make this work on homepage. Examples here:
Home page: https://goo.gl/73Qxcy
Working page: https://goo.gl/SFolls

Hello,
It is as the error says, the folder already exists. Please access your site’s files via ftp and delete the ‘jscomposer’ folder from the plugins folder. Then you will be able to install it normally.
You had a previous version of visual composer and it was not removed entirely. The folder remained behind and wordpress needs to create a new folder with that name but provides an error if there is already a folder with that name present.
Thank you!
Hello hunsour,
Sorry for this, but why you have posted in Newsmag forum? -> https://www.screencast.com/t/xa2PGgWJ Please ensure that you are suing the latest version of the theme and install it via FTP way because this is the surest method in this regard.

Hello szysz,
Please keep in mind that our theme has changed a lot and the latest version of it is Newspaper 7.7.

Hello,
Please check one more thing. If you are using a child theme, remove it and only use the main theme. If you use an old child theme and update your theme without updating the child as well, the theme will break.
If you still cannot manage to update properly, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site, wp-admin with administrator rights and ftp access.
Thank you!
