Hello ronnie,
The latest version of visual composer was not tested with version 4 of our theme (it did not exist back then). If you want to use the latest version of visual composer, you have to update your theme to the latest version (6.5.1) as well. And only install the visual composer plugin that comes with the theme.
With newspaper 4 please use the plugin version that comes with your theme files.
For updating the theme from version 4 to 6 please check this topic here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/update-to-6-5-from-4-6/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi there,
After updating the theme and Visual Composer to 4.7.4 I get an unusual deprecated Visual Composer message and collection of icons at the base of every article and page. I am also prevented from editing or adding any block.
My page building has completely stopped. This does not seem to effect the front end performance or structure.
I upgraded the theme via FTP as the envato updater has not been working for some time. I deleted visual composer then added via FTP. The site is: http://coconutoilpost.com/ Can you please advise on how to restore the Visual Composer functionality?
I currently have a sub domain for testing a new version and it has no issues after the update with the same plugins. I have also tested all the plugins on both sites which did not resolve the issue. I have also deactivated and deleted then reinstalled and activated the plugin but still the bug persists?
Can anyone please advise. Here is a Link to a screenshot
Regards
Peter
Hi Bogban,
Thank you for your reply.
I install plugin Regen. Thumb because of your site’s recommendation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/existing-content/.
Now I deactivate that plugin, but the problem is still the same: The theme still use large image instead of thumb (small) images in front page. This problem leads to performance issue.
Please help.
Hello tnguyen27,
The plugin you installed is not needed as the theme already handles image thumbnails. The plugin overrides this option and may cause a conflict. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, and regenerate you thumbs https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hello Monica,
Please make sure you install the social counter as well. Uninstall yours from the plugins section: http://screencast.com/t/vO8nGDxC (deactivate and delete)
Then install the version that comes with the theme: http://screencast.com/t/xdbi4Ws2lAoN
Thank you.
Sorry for the delay, we don’t work on weekend.
1. Try to increase the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT at 64MB or higher, here it’s a guide regrading this
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP Also make sure that you install the plugin according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the plugin before uploading the new one.
Regarding the demo error import, this also can happened because the server security module blocks the access to admin-ajax.php file. When this it’s requested many times it’s treated as threat so it’s banned. You can report false positives to your server administrator to remove it from the banned list.
Note that some host may restrict the access at content provided from external sources, so you can check in cpanel if there are any options regarding this or contact your host provider and let him know about this.
Let us know how it goes and if you still can’t manage to solve this issue address via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Got an email from Envato to update to 4.74 of VC, So I downloaded it from your template and installed it. I’m running Newspaper 6.4 and it’s all messed up. Must I upgrade to template 6.5 for this to work, getting nervous with these updates, it always makes more trouble… what do i do?
Thanks
You should likely install the latest patched version of VC included with the theme, from the ‘all files’ download, plugins folder; vs the un-bundled version from Envato.
Hi all,

Hi there,
I’ve installed the video demo and started to add my content. Now I need to have a working contact page. How do I do that? I’ve look in theme panel, in widgets and page template and in the documentation but nothing!?!
I would like to have a contact page like the one in the default demo.
Thank you
Hi
Please make sure that you installed the VC plugin according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ also try to deactivate all plugins again, clear all caches purge the cdn file, if you’re using and test again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your site’s login details so we can inspect this issue closer.
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I am trying to edit pages and posts with visual composer, but when i try to edit a text block, it doesn’t work. The content itself doesn’t show up, and all I can do is hit ‘close’ or ‘save changes’, as shown.
http://www.screencast.com/t/zNV8aMpV2j
I assume that there is a conflict somewhere but I can’t find it so far. I have done the usual uninstall/re-install, deactivate all plugins and reactivate them one-by-one, etc. I am running the latest version of VC from this week’s Newsmag update (2.2.1)
when install demo data i have error please check picture
Hi
Please make sure that you updated the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also you need to update the plugins included in the Newspaper-tf/plugins, deactivate and delete the old versions, then install the new versions of each plugin that you need from the indicated path. You can read more about the update process for Visual Composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!

Hi,
Please explain why the theme doesn’t use small size for feature images?
Of course, I have done the following actions:
– Install and activate the theme
– Install Simple-image-sizes plugin
– Regenerate the thumbnails
I don’t see speed booster, I have found it in /plugins. I have extracted it, but how activate and use it?

Hi normally it’s in the “all files” download. I didn’t look this time for 6.5.1, sorry; just presumed it was there.
I also come back here to see if any issues prior to install from “first adopters,” and TagDiv had mentioned it here too.

Hi
before doing auto-updates, good idea to download and review the changelog. For the latest update, for example, the only thing that changed was update to visual composer for a security patch and so you didn’t need to update the “whole theme,” and just update the plugin.
Manual install is still always “safest” way to go as the Envato thing sometimes just simply does not work and I totally abandoned even trying to use it, for exactly the issue you are now facing!
Just an opinion, food for thought.
Hello
As you can see, the right widget goes under the article:
I uninstall 3 last plugins installed, empty the cache but it change nothing.
To prevent the widget to go on the middle of the page, I deactivate the SMART SIDEBAR
Please help!
Hi. Last week I did a manual upgrade of Newspaper 4 to 6.5. (I had to do it manually because the Envato Tool Kit plugin kept giving a 404 error when I clicked on the auto ‘upgrade’ link.)
This week – I was sent notification of another upgrade available (to 6.5.1) – but again, when I click on the link in the Envato Tool Kit – it gives a 404.
I have unticked the ‘skip theme backup’…but still I get the 404.
Obviously I don’t want to do the whole thing manually again (I lost vital customisations last time.)
I have a multisite install (although the theme is only running on the main ‘www’ – but the install takes place in the network).
Please help! Thank you!
