apparently it is not the theme’s fault. My hosting set the memory limit to 32mb and I asked them to changed it to 512mb and now the backend editor is showing just fine.
I am on Azure from Microsoft with Standard VM, which is dedicated by there definition. That is why that worked for me. The only thing I can’t figure out because they don’t have CPanel, and they got their own kind of dashboard is, I can’t change the Max_Input_Vars from 1000 to 5000. I changed on the php.ini, but it did not change. I am using Bitnami on a VM. So there is probably no way to change it.
As for memory limit though. I did not or have had any problems since I put it to 256 mb.
To clarify, two things at work with increasing memory limit on a hosting account
a) memory limit allocated to PHP on the server, set at server level such as php.ini — any hosting company that allows WordPress should allow up to 64MB for php — with a VPN or dedicated server you may need to make that setting yourself by changing the defaults to higher than (in some cases default as low as 16MB!)
b) WordPress limit — WP defaults to 40MB max, even if you change the default on server. So, the setting in wp-config.php will raise the default max RAM for WordPress. 40MB is too low to use Visual Composer and all the modern plugins. 64MB is better, 96MB advisable; higher depends on your hosting account/setup “allowance.” (e.g., if you have VPN or dedicated server, 256MB is advisable; very high traffic sites, perhaps more).
Not sure anybody “needed” to know that, but easy to get confused on these. 🙂
Hi doucare1971,
Yes, that is the right way but you should consider that this may not work if your host does not allow for increasing the PHP memory limit: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
Thanks
Not sure if this is the same thing your trying to do. I added the code below to wp-config.php in WordPress directory and it shows ‘WP Memory Limit GREEN 256 MB/request’.
/** Memory Limit */
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’);
🙂
be sure to raise the default memory for WP in your wp-functions.php file if you had not already done so. Default is 40MB, and should be at least 96MB (I do 256MB).
Hi,
I’m poised to start the theme update from 4 to 6, I have already updated Visual Composer to the latest version. With regards to the social counter and Speed Booster, I assume I wait until the 6 theme is uploaded and the update script is run.
My concern is that when I update the Speed Booster plugin it will overwrite the edits I made, is this correct?
It was a while ago, and I have a terrible memory, so I’m unsure what I would need to do to retain my edits?
I’ve also got a child theme, after the update, I assume I paste my child theme edits into the new child theme files located in the /code folder and overwrite the old one on the server?
I have the following code in my current child theme:
—————-
if (!defined(‘TD_THEME_WP_BOOSTER’)) {
include TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/includes/td_wordpres_booster.php’;
}
—————-
Would this need to be added to the new child?
Kind Regards
Simon

Adding the following will make a blank bar display on the page, but its a new instance of the object. Im assuming an existing object is already present in memory just not displaying.
require (‘wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php’);
$adminbar = new WP_Admin_Bar;
$adminbar->initialize();
$adminbar->render();
Hi,
This shouldn’t happen anymore, all memory issues with VC plugin were attended in both theme’s and VC plugin updates.
Not sure if older version work, the theme hasn’t been tested with older versions of the Visual Composer plugin so there could not work fine. You can make a request for it via email and we will send it to you.
Please also note that we will release a new theme update this week with the latest version of the Visual Composer plugin included so you can try ti and see if this still happens.
Address your email to contact@tagdiv.com
Thanks
Yes friend. The set memory is appropriate and I’ve done tests removing all plugins, yet the Visual Composer (latest version) consumes all resources. As I said, even though in maintenance mode or with the default theme WP still Visual Composer makes any page with internal server error 500. Only with the Shim plugin this overload disappears and everything returns to normal.
With his explanations, I would like to test an earlier version 4.4 of Visual Composer so. After all, the Shim plugin shook the tabs, but it was just that.
Among the older versions of Visual Composer which the lighter, safer and better will work with the Newspaper 6.3? Where can I download it?
Thank you for trying to help me.
Hi,
The tagDiv Visual Composer Shim is an experimental plugin in beta version and it was created like an alternative solution regarding the Visual Composer consuming resources(especially for tagdiv blocks). All this issues with Visual Composer plugin started since plugin’s version 4.4, which was a major update of the plugin and since then the plugin doubled in size and started using more resources.
We did not get any reports regarding this issue from latest version of the plugin, so please make sure that you have increased the php memory limit and try to use only necessarily plugins.
Thanks!
Mmmm sorry, I have tried all the things, but it still doesn’t work. Another idea?

Hi,
Not sure what you mean, if you want features present in the latest theme version why don’t you update the theme.
You can read more about the .screen-reader-text class here: http://blog.rrwd.nl/2015/04/04/the-screen-reader-text-class-why-and-how/
Regarding your improvements they can also be done in the latest theme version, on top of that the Visual Composer memory issue was fixed in the VC plugin version included in the latest theme version so you can backup your current theme install, WordPress and database update the theme then implement the changes if needed.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I’m using NewsMag 1.7 but noticed a few things in version 2 that seem interesting.
1. Added .screen-reader-text class for better usability – I found the CSS for this in styles, but what exactly are you using this for, is it on post page? Would like to know what this adds and how to add it.
2. We audited the theme and and we made major improvements in speed and memory usage, especially in use cases that have big taxonomies, like a lot of categories or tags. – Is this something i would be able to fix on NewsMag 1.7, please let me know how to implement improvements?
3. The panel now uses the modern WordPress media upload – Is this easily updated with one file and which file is it?
Thanks!
This usually happens if
a) you don’t have enough memory allocated to WP
b) you’re trying to use a file format not supported by WP media manager
c) trying to use local image thumbnail generation at same time as external tool like Jetpack photon
d) trying to use site through a rewrite service like Cloudflare, etc.
e) bad file naming — like more than one dot, spaces, high ascii characters, missing file extension, etc.
Also, a different question: I had some memory of there being a post submission feature which is included with the newspaper theme. Does anybody know where I can find this feature (which allows users to submit their own posts), and enable it on my website?
Hi,
I’d like to create specific sidebar for each category. I go to template panel -> category.

Can you help me ?

This is often a memory issue; try increasing the amount of RAM allocated to WordPress both from server side with php.ini or panel setting *AND* mandatory also increase in wp-config.php to at least 96MB otherwise WP defaults to 40MB which is not enough for VC.
I just saw this warning on the tags & The category page dashboard page:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /opt/lampp/htdocs/ilh/wp-content/plugins/wp-memory-db-indicator/wp-memory-db-indicator.php on line 169

Have you optimized your site/server for best page speed?
See the sticky post on optimization, increasing base memory, and the tutorial in theme docs on speeding up site.
I have changed memory as such:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '96M');
no change.
It is a clean install, am using main theme not a child theme. I have turned of all plugins besides VC. As for the logo problem, I have uploaded it to the media library with WordPress admin panel so it changes the path successfully on the Theme Panel and saves just fine but then when I view the site, no changes have taken place even after I clear my cache in browser. I can change it only if I upload it directly in cPanel or FTP it in but I shouldn’t have to do that lol. And nothing else I do in Theme Panel reflects any changes either, I can modify top bar, header, ad codes and pretty much everything else and even tells me it has saved successfully but then when viewing the site… no change.
Did you increase memory in your wp-config.php file?
Did you do clean install vs just move it ?
Use main theme, not child theme.
Turn off all plugins except VC.
Make sure you changed the domain name in anything which used that, like internal links to images, etc.
Did you update your base memory allocation for WP in wp-functions.php — ? this can help quite a bit. Add config line to make it 96MB or more to increase from WP’s default 40MB.
See my sticky post on optimization if you don’t know how to do that or read the WP official docs/codex on editing wp-config.php file.
Might not be issue; but great place to start!
Additional attempts to resolve the issue:
1. Noticed the dev site was running php 5.3.29 stable while the main site was running php 5.5.21, so I switched the main site down to 5.3.29, but no change.
2. I upped the max input vars and memory limits to minimums specified by the system status tab of the theme. No changes detected.
3. I disabled all non-theme plugins and that didn’t make a difference.
