Hey, look at the info top right of this page: hours of support ? Closed weekends. It’s now Sat/Sun. They will be back on Monday.

Support Hours (GMT+2)
Monday - Friday:
8:00 AM - 17:00 PM

You can’t easily use the standalone version of Visual Composer with this theme, since it includes its own bundled version with custom code. The theme only “out of the box” supports the bundled version. You’re somewhat on your own if you want to use the commercial version of the plugin.

Without a link to *an example page* where you have the problem, it’s unlikely you’d get any help. You can also email tagdiv support directly with your example page if the site is not yet public.

So some of the shit and crap is waiting on you to address. You would need to modify the theme to remove its built in code for Visual Composer.

For the theme to work as provided, you need to REMOVE the commercial version of Visual Composer, and follow the installation directions and install the version INCLUDED WITH THE THEME. That is what it’s for. You can’t have both.

Hopefully that crappy answer will help with your shit?

As I said I used a clean install of WordPress just the Newspaper theme and visual composer and it doesn’t work. It shows only one post per row and it is big as I showed you in the screenshot.

Tested Post Grid on a newly installed Newspaper theme and still it doesn’t work properly so I guess there is either a problem with the theme or the plug in. If you need more detail look at my newspaper thread.

UPDATE: I have tested your theme with a CLEAN install of WordPress only with visual composer. The POST GRID does not work as it should be so the problem is from your theme – please don’t give me the usual crap or tell me otherwise the problem is from the theme.

The response I got from WPBakery –

The issue is most likely because there is an inbuilt version of visual composer (or the related code) present in your theme which is overriding the standalone plugin version and hence causing the issue. You will have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, otherwise you might loose the extra elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. Kindly check.

Thank you,

Theme is working perfectly with my install of latest WooCommerce.

Known bugs are the sitewide top banner message from WooCommerce (e.g., “we’re closed today”) settings can cover the top menu bar. Likely some custom CSS to push entire page down the 50px or whatever would be needed if that message is used.

One other oddity, was the columns fitting when sidebar active. I use sidebar left, and I had some custom CSS from tagdiv team to fix for iPad portrait.

NOTE: this bug still appear in the site demo, where sidebar is on right …

the third item in row of shirts in demo drops to second row and “runs into” the first item on second row, pushing it to right. The main item info also drops below the featured photo, vs showing to right side on the actual product page.

This was supposedly fixed in the new update, but I note the version on the Themeforest demo does *NOT* show the updated CSS fix.

Hi and thanks!
Yes, i’ve cancelled wordpress folder and installed all again.
I don’t know what was happened but now it seems to work!

On the “welcome” tab for theme panel, note options at bottom “install demo data” and “import theme styles.”

Demo data typically for working on blank site (not mixing with existing live site content), while the styles import custom CSS to change layout colors/fonts.

I tried installing the td speed booster plugin but I didn’t like how the front-end showed a “flash of unstyled content” so I disabled it.

Regardless though, this issue isn’t regarding the time it takes for the page to load in the browser, but rather the time it takes for my server to actually load the theme/template. I use New Relic and I’m noticing a major problem is coming from the database — specifically a process called “wp_posts – SELECT.”

I’ve been doing some research on this and I realized I’m using a “child theme” to modify random parts of the template. Could that be causing this issue with the database?

@nelito
I never said anyone was wrong for complaining.

We didn’t need to modify anything on the server to use the theme.

Normal server optimization of WordPress is theme agnostic. TIME magazine had to optimize their severs for WordPress, regardless of the theme they are using.

@deanhankin
VC’s so called “limitation” only surfaced with the most recent version. After almost 2 years of use by TagDiv with tens of thousands of happy users, I would venture it wasn’t a bad choice for a visual platform. The visual editing is the main reason many folks bought the theme — without a plugin like visual composer along with all its prebuilt and custom modules there is no other simple way to do this kind of layout.

That being said, we here are playing with a “lean framework” again, and testing stuff like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/

For some of our sites, we are looking into “lean layout” again vs “complex layout” where high demand news site doesn’t need a fancy “magazine” layout where the look/feel is a factor in audience hanging about and returning. For example, one of our oooold sites, running Canvas: CaliforniaNewswire.com — not as pretty as FloridaNewswire.com, but very lean by comparison, and not really optimized at all.

As to arrogance… it’s up to you to research and learn the tools of the trade. Hopefully you’re learning from all of this 🙂

In any case, I will shut up now. I am not “defending” the theme (or VC) against your issues, I am simply saying that not everyone has the issues you may have had. For some it’s a one click install process and a site can be completely switched over in a few hours. That’s pretty powerful for a $50 investment.

Things change with all WP materials. WooCommerce updates, breaks stuff. Waaaah! Not the theme’s fault. Revolution Slider has security vulnerability. Waaaaaaah! Not the theme’s fault. WP 4.1 breaks plugins. Waaaaah! Not the theme’s fault. People expect a hell of a lot for $50 these days.

Cheers.

Well, it does say it uses Visual Composer. And it’s only been a couple of weeks since the latest version of VC kind of went off the rails. We’ve been using it with the Newspaper theme for 14 months without any issues at all, aside from one other bad version we skipped.

Hundreds of themes use Visual Composer, so it’s not unique to TagDiv.

And not everybody is crashing their server using it. Only some, which is where the problem comes up.

Obviously smart folks should research any framework or plugin a theme requires in advance if it’s mission critical; test usage then rollback if not functional as needed. We’re still running LAST version of VC (except on one test install) due to this issue.

Hopefully next iteration of VC will be more “CPU/RAM friendly!”

Reinstalled the td speed booster plugin and the problem seems to of gone away for my readers.:)
However, the header continues to load incorrectly if I am logged in?

I am ok with that for now because I don’t have any users who log in, but there’s obviously something going on.

Regards,
Sid
