Hi I just purchased this and am trying to install the demo with content. Nothing is coming up. I’m getting this error message on the homepage. What do I do?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_shortcode_custom_css_has_property() in /homepages/28/d565728735/htdocs/clickandbuilds/DallasMillennials/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_row.php on line 53
Hello Gadgetsay,
I guess that you want to manage/change your sidebar for your Shop page on Woo commerce, right? Notice that our theme has a Woo commerce template in Theme panel from where you can choose your desired sidebar for your pages which are generated by Woocommerce, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/35sdxYImFh Also, please notice that you can make your own Shop pages with Visual Composer and you can use the Widgetised Sidebar to add there what type of ad you want.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Unfortunately the only option where you can place any element below the pagination is a static page you can edit in visual composer and you can paginate each block. The theme does not have any option to place elements below any standard pagination. If you want to add any element below a paginated post you will have to edit the theme files and add a do_shortcode function inside the post template files depending on the post style that you use: http://screencast.com/t/mtxWLAZyH
You can use the code like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_video_youtube playlist_yt="NRuE38Bl5Mo, 1ZgoluYjuZM, 0K-0vkFfUmY"][/vc_column]'); ?>
Thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for your appreciation.
1. Unfortunately a stretched row means to stretch it to the full width of the screen. That cannot happen with a sidebar so there is no way of having a full width row and sidebar as they will conflict with one another and break the layout.
2. We do not recommend using visual composer on posts at all especially on smart lists. Visual composer was only meant to be used on pages as this guide suggests: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
3.Well the post sub-title was n ever meant to be a description. It was meant to be a small part of text not a full on excerpt. Please avoid any long titles or sub-titles. These are meant to be titles, not descriptions.
4. The grey background color you added on the row in visual composer seems to display fine: http://screencast.com/t/XG770wNGNA
5. We always look to improve our theme. We are not up to 14 post templates and we plan on adding more but it takes time as they are not easy to make.
6. We did not add such a button as the comment section is just below the related articles. We did not see the point in creating a jump link fro the bottom sharing that goes 1 element down to the comment section. You can maybe add it in with customization if you need this feature. Here is where the bottom sharing is being created: http://screencast.com/t/AT1QCJiV6W
7. We do not have any such plan for the moment, but I will add it to our list for suggestions and pass it on to the development team.
Thank you!
Hello,
@tonikusi4, I have inspected your post pages, and I notice that you are using the single template style 1. Further, if you want to add some ads after to the related articles section you should edit the loop-single-1.php core file, based on the explanation above. If you want to have more than one Ad, you should use Custom Ad 2, 3, 4 with the do_shortcode method. After adding this, maybe you should use a bit of CSS to obtain a good design.
@jboursaw, I have checked your website and everything seems to look good. Thumbs up.
Thanks for your understanding!
I have a related question. I just downloaded the theme, and installed it. The homepage looks great on desktop and mobile. But, there is no content on the individual blog posts in mobile view. The author name shows, and then the footer and that’s it.
I tried activating the mobile template – but then each blog post is now just blank.
Please help. My blog is goodmomusic.net
Before today, I was able to select design of post (like this – with header, main page – example – http://prostobzor.ru/garmin-virb-ultra-30-unboxing/)
Today I tried to publish new post in my wordpress – but the list of available formats is missed.
So, I have this default post page here – example – http://prostobzor.ru/garmin-virb-ultra30-mobile/
Here it is what I have inside of Backend and post – screenshot – http://screencast.com/t/g8uSKXuJ8Ku
Could you advise, what am I doing wrong? or where can I find this block in the my post ?
Hey Tag,
This is Siddhartha from Farbound.Net. I have been using your theme for some time now and I have to say this – it is just wonderful with its intuitiveness, stylish appeal and flexibility. Plus your updates never cease to surprise. Though my support expired a while back, I was wondering if you could still supply me with some answers.
1. Can the smart side bar by any chance and via custom CSS be made to recognize stretched rows? Say I use template style 3 with the right side bar operational and then put some stretched VC rows into the content. If I do this right now the sidebar flows right over the VC containers. If I can get the sidebar to float underneath the stretched content, nothing like it. Presently I am using visual composer to do this.
2. The Smart List is not supposed to work with Visual Composer, is it? I tried that on template 5 with visual composer, but the sidebar gets pushed right below the content. Also sometimes the NEXT and PREVIOUS BUTTONS overlap each other. Or am I doing something wrong here?
3. For templates that include the headlines and subtitles within the featured image, is there any way to adjust both the subtitles and headlines to appear better with some spacing when viewing on mobiles? Right now it becomes a jumble. But works well with just headlines. These would be template style 3 and template style 7. For an example: view this page (I noticed this on chrome with the browser size minimized) – Outpost of a vanishing world
4. I followed your instructions and successfully placed an advertisement just above the footer section with a stretched visual composer row, background-color applied. The ad was visible but the background-color was not. Did I miss something?
5. Do you plan to include new post templates in the future? A template that has the headline and subtitle on top of a rather large full width image. I am doing this right now with visual composer.
6. I noticed the social share box at the bottom has some space. Was wondering if it could accommodate a COMMENT icon inside as well along with the word ‘COMMENT’ or just the word. You know, once people reach the end of the story they can not only share it if they like but also find the COMMENT WORD there – clicking which they could directly reach the comment section. The comment icon presently available right now is very stylish but I feel not many are aware what the icon stands for. Yes, I am also well aware people who comment are very less, but since I still come across a lot of reputable media sites using the comment word big and bold, I assume the word does better than an icon.
7. Do you plan to include the option of using custom background-colors with advertisements? I managed to add a light grey to the header ad by coloring the wrapper via css but if an adblock is on viewers only see the grey box. Not that I mind, I can always put a message that says kindly turn your adblock off. Though if you do add in that option, would be very nice indeed.
Thanks
@ both
If you want to place a custom ad in the posts above the related articles section you will have to use the do_shortcode function and place it inside the post template files that corresponds to the post template that yopu use. Here is an example:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]'); ?>
this code will render the ad from custom ad 1. You can see the shortcodes in visual composer on an ad box element (switch to classic mode in page edit to see the code and get the shrotcode)
Now to place it inside posts above the latest articles you need to add it like so:

Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately for tag pages there is no such option. You can only choose the post display view for tags like so:
http://screencast.com/t/aI85Yb7LJE6
Unfortunately there is no pagination options. You can only use the standard WordPress pagination on the tag template
Thank you!
Thank you for your support. We have detected, that the template or whatever doesn’t take the scaled pictures but the originals. That makes the page-download-size around 15 MB per page.
For example:
http://magazin.ehorses.de/pferdewissen/
The pictures for the posts and pages are taken from original source. How can we achieve it, that it takes the scaled images?
Thanks in advance!
Regards!

Hi,
Unfortunately css cannot do that. Please disable the ad on desktop and tablets if you only want it on mobile:
http://screencast.com/t/RmZmf2Zv and then to remove the header ad on other pages except posts, you will have to edit the file that corresponds for the header style that you use:
http://screencast.com/t/KYuL2w3c – http://screencast.com/t/KVu0tx2UON
<?php if (is_single()){
locate_template('parts/header/ads.php', true);
}?>
Thank you!
Hi,
Just create a new page and import the Homepage-Sport template – http://screencast.com/t/OxYgeWgl – http://screencast.com/t/56pAvDCWfn and you will have the same layout like the Sport Demo – http://screencast.com/t/kzuH4T6T Then check each block’s settings and add your own filter options, please follow block settings tutorial(note that it is a common tutorial for our themes, some blocks may not exist for Newsmag theme) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Let us know how it goes! If you still have issues or questions and you want to provide wp-admin access you can do this via email at contact@tagdiv.com
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan
I Dont think a refund will cut the hundreds of hours put into Your themes for several clients, I am afraid. And we are very happy with the themes, but off cause the change is a huge problem for pages already created. I think You should not have done it.
Anyway..
We will just have to do it manually and then change the way we build templates.
Thank You.
Hello,
Unfortunately yes.
This was done to newsmag as well. There is a message in the theme panel now on pagebuilder+latest articles that will not let you use a sidebar on this template anymore: http://screencast.com/t/ICzdciqwDZ except for the widgetized sidebar element.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused. If you find that you cannot use the theme anymore for this reason, we will be able to provide a refund so you can choose another theme for your project.
Thank you!
Hello Bogdan
Did You just tell me, that I have to redesign 50 subpages one by one? They started as a template, but are large build pages with lots of text, images and stuff..now suddenly You change this..
This will take days, and I wonder what a client will feel about this and the massive price for the work-hours. Also we have used this method on sites soon to be released.
Have You done the same for NewsMag, I am afraid to ask…
I am sorry, but this is really something…:-(
Hello,
In the current theme version, the sidebars were removed from the pagebuilder + page title option because there were 2 options to add a sidebar on pages conflicting with one another. You could add a sidebar directly from the widgets area and you could also add a sidebar using a widgetized sidebar element. We removed the option to add a sidebar from the widget area because if it’a a page builder template it makes more sense to use the page builder to call your sidebar on the page. Sorry for the inconvenience caused if you used the standard sidebars on your pages. We recommend to disable sidebar on these pages and split the row in a 2/3+1/3 column layout and place a widgetized sidebar element on the page: http://screencast.com/t/sBRVgYOzX
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
Hello,
Unfortunately the “more” tag is ignored by our theme blocks and modules. There is only a single module that can show the more tag, and that is module 15 that can be added on category pages, tag pages, and other templates that do not use visual composer. On posts it will not show up, sorry.
Thank you!
Hello,
The demo is a simple skin for the theme. The dummy data was set in a particular way on each demo but it is not “part of the demo” itself. You can recreate the dummy data on your own end, but it is a simple example, not a template or pattern of any kind. If you want to replicate it, then that is the way to go, use a dummy install and install the demo data and then copy and paste the shortcodes. We never meant the demos to be used just as we present them. It is a skin, You can use it on any layout of your choice. We did not add this feature as you can easily install the dummy data, copy the content and then paste it on another page and then simply remove the dummy data. It’s that easy.
Thank you!
I’m trying to add another query/loop to the mobile homepage. I’d like to display latest posts from both “News” and “Podcast” categories. I’ve duplicated the loop, however nothing is being rendered the second time. Why?
<!-- begin Podcast loop -->
<div class="td-container td-pb-article-list td-main-content" role="main">
<?php if ( empty( $paged ) or $paged < 2 ) { ?>
<h4 class="block-title"><span><?php //echo $td_list_custom_title; ?>Latest Podcasts</span></h4>
<?php }
$posts_per_page = get_query_var('posts_per_page') ? get_query_var('posts_per_page') : 5;
// query used on Latest Articles section
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
'category_name' => 'Podcast',
'posts_per_page' => 5,
);
query_posts($wp_query_args);
locate_template('loop.php', true);
echo td_page_generator_mob::get_pagination();
wp_reset_query();
?>
</div>
<!-- begin News loop -->
<div class="td-container td-pb-article-list td-main-content" role="main">
<?php if ( empty( $paged ) or $paged < 2 ) { ?>
<h4 class="block-title"><span><?php echo $td_list_custom_title; ?></span></h4>
<?php }
$posts_per_page = get_query_var('posts_per_page') ? get_query_var('posts_per_page') : 5;
// query used on Latest Articles section
$wp_query_args = array(
'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,
'paged' => $paged,
'category_name' => 'News',
);
query_posts($wp_query_args);
locate_template('loop.php', true);
echo td_page_generator_mob::get_pagination();
wp_reset_query();
?>

Hi,
After updating version 7.5, all my subpages build with VC Template (My templates) suddenly are full width, not showing the sidebar. I think around 50 pages.
When editing the pages, they are still set with a sidebar and chosen.
Even if I try to create a new page using template, the theme dont care about my opinion and just go full Width.
This only seems to be a problem, when “My templates” has been used, and do not effect all other pages. SOme sidebars however have small spacing issues.
I use child, can NOT see any bugs or any plugins that needs update.
Is this a known bug, and is there a solution…-)
Thank You
For all the demos/templates, a home ‘page’ is created for the layout.
Unless you install the demo data (vs settings), the layout for the home page are not created.
Hence, you have to manually create this. Without a base reference, it is basically trial and error.
I overcame this by creating a dev setup with the demo data installed. Then use this a reference to ‘recreate’ the home page layout.
(An easy fix may be a screen shot the of home ‘page’ layout for each of the demos in the doc)
Hope that makes sense.
Hello alpsbox,
I suppose that you are referring to this type of pagination -> http://screencast.com/t/R0MXPLh7M0I2, right? Notice that it is just latest article pagination which has only this design. If you want to change this, you should edit the theme core files and change from there this pagination. Please notice that the pages may not be numbered but only the elements from the page such as Modules/Blocks or other elements from Visual Composer. If you want to add the Next/Prev pagination for a block you should consult the Block Settings according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ and there you will find all the features which are available for our blocks. -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/
If is not what you mean, please provide more details so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for the message!
The ‘Default Templates’ drop down shows many of the demos, but missing the ‘Say What’.
Homepage – Loop
Homepage – NewsMag
etc
Any advice on where to get this?
Note: I installed the demo with content switched off – just settings. So I assume the layout is probably not part of default.
Any info on the actual layout? For example, I figured out the first section is Big Grid 4. But are there any doc or import, so I don’t have to recreate this?
thanks.
