I don’t use VC for much the same reason. However, you might try their new TD Composer …. muuuuuch better and can be used to setup custom blocks/areas on home page, which is what I use it for. Documentation > Newspaper > install theme ?
Hi! When I open the page builder I have a white screen. Nothing can be edited. I installed all the plugins. How to fix it?
Okay, this post https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cannot-activate-theme-i-have-more-than-one-installation/#post-175833 just helped me.
Just updated to 3.4 and was reading about TD Composer but can’t find it? its not in the download plugins directory so how to get it/install it?
A few weeks ago my Newspaper Theme site starting loading really slowly and sometimes gives “error establishing database errors”.
The site is hosted at hostgator. They suggested optimizing the images so we installed Smash and did a bulk optimization. This resolved the loading issue, but many of the images were made so small they were unusable. As soon as I started to replace the small images with the original ones the loading and crashing problem started again.
Most images are png 1845X1052 and are under 100K each. Within the links on the home pages there are about 120 images. Most are within galleries. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes the site loads fine, sometimes very slowly and other times not at all. Seems to be better after deleting cache, but not every time.
Is it a case of having too many images? I can make the size smaller (H x W) but due to the detail in the charts, I wouldn’t want to make them any smaller than 1200W. I don’t think I can get the kb smaller, since most are around 50 -60K.
Here is a link to the site: mritradingsignals.com
The issue is in Chrome, Firefox and IE. Any help would be appreciated.
If it were me, I’d probably do this with ACF and make custom field where you could install that ‘per post’ — then edit the header.php to call the ACF field “if” it’s used. Then in the template(s) you’re using use the “if used” method for ACF field, to add the div ID above the normal post area.
If that makes no sense, probably need to hire a developer.
I don’t work here; but TD might have better answer. 🙂
(I do stuff like this in a custom report platform I built in WP, and using ACF for custom fields per report, where some content is added to post template only if something is actually in the custom field.)
a) see the theme docs on how to install, right side of page
b) presumably you have the zip files downloaded from themeforest? FTP is best way as you can make full backup of your files first; and you should be making a download of your WP dbase through
1) WP panel > export
2) phpmyAdmin/hosting panel > save/export Php dbase used for your site
3) make copies of any special settings for things like sidebar widgets, or custom code boxes used in prior theme — save out to text file
c) you will want to install the Newspaper.zip, not the ‘all files’ zip
d) the child theme is a child of Newspaper, not child of any other theme; meaning, generally you don’t need to use child theme unless you have specific reason to do so
(( I don’t work here; just some basic advice. ))
Purchased the theme but super unclear how to activate it, without losing months worth of content. Someone ‘helped’ me setting it up with Visual Composer bloatware which I not want and deleted, just want to simply activate the Newspaper -child- theme I paid for. Tried some things in Theme Panel but no way to install the theme as it is. Support will be will be highly appreciated.
Hello all,
I need help. I bought the newspaper a few days ago upon the recommendation of a very successful blogger but boy how disappointed i’m.
I chose the News demo without installing the content but just the layout and could you imagine i can’t add a simple sidebar to the homepage. i wrote to tagdiv and bogdan replied sending me a youtube video. i watched it and tried to do exactly what the video says but in vain.
when i drag blocks to the site, they don’t stick and nothing happens. it’s as though i didn’t drag anything there.
normally there was supposed to be step by step instruction as to how to replicate exactly the demo you choose to install but not so.
Someone has installed the News demo and could help me?
My site url is http://www.coolbabystuffsite.com see what a mess it has become after installing the News demo.
Lastly after each new login in the backend, i receive a message asking me to activate it even though i have done it many times already. And each the activation code is accepted. So what’s the issue here?
Thanks for your help.
It does not matter whether you sound harsh or not, it always display our level of understanding and tolerance. The main issue now is that the theme does not allow us to select slider revolution. There seem to be myriad of complications with the new updated version of the theme and thousands of people seem to be facing the same gruesome challenges.
I was able to make the theme work even though slider revolution is still unable to work for me and several people.
For those experiencing the same problem, after clearing your cache, for your browser, your CDN, and your website and any other cache that you can clear, you need to disable all the plugins except TagDiv Composer only.
But be careful because this will only work if your site is secure. Having a secure site would mean these two things, having an SSL installed on it and making sure the green key shows on the browser.
If you have an SSL on it but the green key is not showing, it won’t work. In that case you will need to install the plugin “Really Simple SSL” to make it secure. In most cases it will work.
Once, you have installed that plugin, disable all other plugins, except TagDiv plugin and Really Simple SSL plugin.
Do not try to edit your current home page using TagDiv. Leave your current home page and create another home page. This will work and you will just move and drop elements.
But there are still other problems. You may not see all the elements. You will need to search others that you cannot see by entering for instance slider, big slide, block 20, etc, on the left side where you pick the blocks.
Having done all that, it will work but the slider revolution may, sadly and regrettably, not work, as it is in my case.

Hi,
The post settings box should be present in the screen options on the post edit page by default. First try disabling all your plugins except the ones provided in the theme package, clear any caching installed and check to see if this has any effect. Maybe a plugin is causing this issue.
Lastly you could try a fresh theme install and see if that fixes it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks
Hi,
In some cases or maybe in combination with other plugins, that caching plugin is known to create problems with the theme. For other users it could be working properly, maybe it is just a matter of configuration. You can search here on the forum for known issues, or maybe other users can share their caching settings for best results.
The recommended caching plugin is WP Super Cache with these settings
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Thanks
No, there is no issue with the update. It works properly and has been thoroughly tested. It is your install that has problems, not the theme. Please disable all plugins except the page builder, 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 the issue is still there Please contact us on our email address at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin (login information and admin rights) so we can login and investigate. Please also include a link to this conversation.
Thank you!
Hello oshershalom,
The @timeventura is right! All the sidebars were moved in the bottom section of Widgets area, to the Inactive Widgets, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/cKcgjLS6eTkl Notice that the theme puts them there but if are not there, I do not know, sorry! If you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core files and rule out any conflicts.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If the theme system status is according to the guide, please try and install the theme again using this method, maybe the theme did not install properly
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Then activate only the tagDiv composer plugin, create a new page and edit it with the composer. If the issue is still present, 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 in your email.
Thanks
Hello byalik,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and cause this errors. You should remove all of them, leave just required plugins to active and check the results. Also, if the problem is still there, you should try making a new clean install from scratch, via FTP way and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi, I just istalled Newspaper v.8 with demo content.
This is a clean install – wp 4.7.5 – and I have no plugins active (only tagDiv’s “Composer” and “Social Counter”)
I can edit existing pages.
When I create a new blank page, I can’t add any element with the composer, and when I load the composer I have this js error in the console:
***********************************

I found a workaround (pasting in the body the code copyed from a working page, then deleting and readding elements) but I think this error has to be quickly fixed. Thank You! G.
Hi,
Maybe you have caching installed preventing the ad from being displayed, or the page from being refreshed. Try clearing your cache and see if this has any effect. Your inline ad seems to be displaying at the moment from what I can see
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1Zaj7fDhb
Thanks
Hello gwendal44,
Most likely, you do not follow the right steps in this case. First of all, you should make a full backup to your database and then, you should remove the old version and install the theme via FTP way, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ Try to follow all the steps from this tutorial and then, clear the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Hari,
Please keep in mind that your untested plugins happen this issue. I recommend you to use only the requested plugins and then, for the others untested plugins, you should install one by one and check which is the culprit.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello ntvweb,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you have some errors in your console, it is not using the latest theme version and also, you are using some untested plugins, like cm ad changer, which can interact with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues. You should disable all of them, leave just required plugins to be active, clear all the caches and check the results. If you want to bring best theme results, I suggest you make a new clean install from scratch via FTP and update your theme to the latest theme version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
That should not happen just by creating and adding a simple smart list to your post. The smart list should not break the page layout. I suggest you check any custom code you might have entered in the theme panel, or added to the theme files. If you are using a child theme switch to the main theme.
Also deactivate all the plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching installed on your website and check to see if this has any effect.
Thanks
Hi,
Check the theme panel and see if you have the thumbnail sizes required for the gallery enabled. The images should not display like that, maybe something is interfering with the gallery. It would be very helpful if you could provide a link to this gallery so I can inspect it.
You could try to disable all your plugins except the ones bundled with the theme, clear any caching installed on your website, then check to see if this has any effect.
Thanks
Hi,
It seems to work for the other users. Try clearing any caching installed, maybe that is why the data is not refreshing. Or go through the mentioned steps again, to make sure you have made the modifications exactly as described in that topic.
Thanks
