Hello WENHUI,
Please check your plugins list and if you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable all of them leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all the caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and check the results. If you are using the CDN system, try to purge all the files, clear all the caches and check the results. If the problem is still there, try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and check the results. Should work as expected.
Thanks for the message!
Hello Ankush Das,
Please ensure that you have right made your theme installing via FTP way and then, check your system status parameters to be according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Please try to disable all your other plugins except the tagDiv composer, clear any caching installed. The create a new page and try adding the video playlist with some videos and see if it works properly.
Thanks
Hi,
Then something must be preventing the background ad from working properly. I have tested this on the new theme version and it works fine. Maybe you have custom code or have made theme modifications. Please try to install the theme again using this method
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Then while having only plugins from the them package active, test again. If it still does not work for you, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information so we can take a look. Also paste a link to this topic, so we can identify you.
Thanks

Hello,
In the Newspaper update tutorial it’s said “Do not keep older copies of the theme inside wordpress themes folder” , i also do the same by going cPanel file manager – removing the newspaper theme folder – then uploading the newer one (since via WordPress installation alerts “same theme already exist” if i try to update without deleting the existing theme (even deleting the theme from WP sometimes causes error, well that’s not the case) . . . I don’t like to use any external plugins (Envato Toolkit) just for theme update .
Problem i’m facing each time I’m deleting the existing theme folder & updating the newer theme , it requires “ACTIVATE THEME” again & again . . So I need to put purchase code on every newer update installation .
I’m afraid by this way for using multiple times purchase code/account/anything may get suspended .
So, just clarify me will anything (mentioned above) gets suspended/blocked if I use my above update method ? I’m having 2 wordpress sites where I use newspaper theme personally .
Hello,
I tried installing newspaper 8 on my website today, and it installs. The problem is when I try to install the composer. It says:
The plugin does not have a valid header.
Downloading install package from https://www……
Download failed. Not Found
Return to tagDiv plugins panel
I checked the theme directory it has the plugin in the plugins directory. I also tried uploading it manually and it activates, but once I try to download a demo, it deactivates and gets deleted.
I deactivated all plugins and everything from the website and the same issue keeps occurring.
I thought it was permissions problem so I set my directory permissions as follows:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www
that didn’t change a thing though.
What should I do?
I have a problem I believe many others have also. I am using your updated newspaper 8. I know it uses TagDiv. In your documentation, I seemed to read that I will also need Visual Composer. I went to purchase Visual Composer. I install it, but does not give me the opportunity to activate it. So first question, do I need visual composer to take full advantage of the TagDiv Composer? If yes, why is it not working?
Second problem is, when I tried to create a new page using TagDiv Composer, it’s not allowing me to move and drop elements.
Is there any thing I need to do first?
In summary, with the new Newspaper 8, I am unable to move and drop elements to create my new home page. And also my new visual composer is not allowing me to activate it.
Thank you
Well, to be fair, I’ve been using TD themes for 4 years and never had those issues. On the other hand, I bought 3 boxes of coffee from Amazon, got 72 K-Cups, another person said he only got 36. So….. the universe doesn’t always play nice 😉
Hang in there!! Also good to do backups of settings if you’re losing them when reinstalling theme.
Hi,
tagDiv Composer = tagDiv Composer
tagDiv Social Counter = tagDiv Social Counter
Visual Composer = WPBakery Visual Composer
Revolution Slider, what a plugins name?
tagDiv Mobile Theme, what a plugins name?
Once I know the name, I will uninstall the old plugin and install the latest version.
Thank you!
Hi Catalin,
A huge thanks for your prompt reply ! I installed the latest theme and plugins Newspaper 8 released yesterday and performed the cache clearing you advised. Thanks a lot for the screenshot by the way because it seems I didn’t have all the necessary boxes checked. Adding this little image to the help page would be a good idea ! 😉
Unfortunately my setup was still not working so I completed my journey with drvarun5179 below. Thanks to the link he provided I was able to retrieve an access token for debug. Unfortunately, this didn’t make the counter work either. I am starting to suspect the problem I have is on my Facebook account’s side. I have tried different things with the identifier of my main account and of my Facebook page but nothing seems to be working so far. I’ll dig deeper and will come back to you if nothing works.
Have a great day !
Hi,
I have installed the demo you mention but I do not have any problem what so ever. Try deactivating all your plugins except the ones provided with the theme, clear any installed cache and install the demo again. Also check the theme system status and make modifications if needed to the parameters mentioned in this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Please let us know if you still have a problem.
Thanks
Hello keyforweb,
Provide your website URL and also, make a screen with your problem so I can identify it and also, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. First of all, make sure that you have right installed your theme via FTP way in order to achieve best theme results.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
We try our best to reply as soon as possible, but there is a high volume of activity on the forum at the moment, due to the new update and new tagDiv composer editor.
It seems that the theme maybe did not install properly. You should try this method for best results – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Most important is to deactivate all the plugins except the ones provided with the theme, clear any caching installed and check again. On a fresh install the pagination works with no problem what so ever, also the background ad.
Thanks
Hi, I think that the td composer is fantastic
However, have you guys planned to totally replace visual composer in the future?
Don’t want to install for now as it doesn’t work on posts and can’t easily create things like buttons or other stuff with it, so I don’t want to keep 2 page builders 🙁
Update:
This issue is directly related to a demo (Cars Blog). When I uninstalled the demo the problems went away!
Hi,
Please provide a link to your website so we can inspect the issue. The search function is working properly on our end. This can be the result of a plugin conflict, or modifications to the theme. You could try to disable all your plugins except the ones provided with the theme, clear any caching installed and see if this fixes the problem.
Thanks
Hi,
You need to deactivate and delete the old plugins and install the new ones from the theme package normally, in the plugins section – https://www.screencast.com/t/53nogg3VD
Thanks
Hi,
Visual composer is still available in the full theme package at the moment. When you install the demo it will look just like the live demo version, only with different dummy content.
Please try and download the theme package again and activate the theme. It should work properly now.
Thanks
Hi,
The background ad is working properly in the new theme version. First check if the background ad is set right – https://forum.tagdiv.com/background-ads/
Then please try disabling all your plugins except the ones provided in the theme package, clear any caching installed and check any custom code you might have entered in theme panel, or added to the theme files.
Thanks
Hi,
@sejpost You just have to create a new page using only tagDiv composer. Most of the elements that are available in Visual composer are present in the new editor. Use this guide to help you – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
It is not hard to use the the editor, it is just a matter of getting used to it. New features will be added to the tagDiv composer in future updates.
You can still use the widget sidebar element to add sidebars to pages, with this editor. The same sidebar can be used on pages and posts if that is what you are asking.
@travisnw It would be best and also recommended to use the new page editor for your pages. Please do not use both Visual composer and tagDiv composer on the same page.
Regarding the activation please try to activate the theme normally again.
@loirexplorer Please try making a clean theme install and use only the plugins provided with the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
This guide made by Ing Geek may be useful and very informative when updating the theme

Hi svharishtech,
I’m using TD composer and VC at the same time and have been experimenting back and forth with both. So far, my experience has been positive. I’ve been able to create content with TagDiv composer and then able to switch over to VC and still have it render normally.
I’ve got an installation on a subdomain so I can play around with it first before I put it on my main site. I like to get my head around it before I send it live.
Hope that helps 🙂

I’ve made a new installation of a site using v8. Everything seems great apart from the pages are taking a long time to load. It seems as if the page is looking for a missing file. The Chrome console reports as follows:
.../wp-content/plugins/td-composer/css-live/assets/external/ace/ace.js?ver=__td_aurora_deploy_version__
Also:
http://192.168.0.208/wp_011_test_demos/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/1.jpg net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
There is no problem with the latest WordPress version and the previous theme version. Or with the new theme update. We have not had any compatibility issues reported. You can update or install the new theme version when you are ready.
It could happen that some modifications through the child theme may not work properly anymore, due to update changes to the theme files. This can happen after every theme update. You could test this locally and see if it is the case.
Thanks
A quick update-
To call shortcodes in php, one can use:
<?php
echo do_shortcode('[CONTACT-US-FORM]');
?>
Perhaps adding div to them is more smoother. </br> after div can be used to create breaks though.
Conclusion: I was indeed unable to set up bbPress completely (tried everything, but there are many bugs which just can’t be fixed, including enabling tinymce support in mobile theme functions).
So, i rather installed phpBB on subdomain (https://doc.medicforyou.in). Funny bbPress installation messed up phpBB installation and i couldn’t use forum.medicforyou.in since the directory of wordpress was also pointing to subdomain, thereby, creating two phpBB installations- https://medicforyou.in/forum and https://forum.medicforyou.in .
For those requiring help on installation of https over subdomains- simply add same cloudfare origin certificate settings to your subdomain (Guide).
Thank you for support, i wish there was compatibility of mobile theme with bbpress. Never mind. 🙂
