TagDiv will not say anything because it is true. I have tested it and when I removed SSL, the TagDiv composer stopped working, when I re-activated it, it was just fine. So that’s the truth. Also, this updated version has a lot of imperfections as thousands of people are affected. Everywhere you turn to it’s the same ugly complaint. Also, this theme does not allow you to import the type of block or grid that you would want to, or the type of slide that you would want to. There are many many things missing or many areas not affected by this updated version. It’s a tough task.
Hi Seeking…
yes I get the ssl thing…
Ok that’s ridiculous, how many of us are SSL?
No commerce on my site so no need for it – where is this in the tutorials etc?
How can tagdiv possible justify making this move without an absolutely clear statement before people updated to Newpaper8?
Why has no-one from tagdiv agreed/denied with your statement since you brought this up?
Chris S do you have view here on this? And please don’t say ‘You should be SSL for SEO’ because that’s not the case yet at all…
That’s correct.It only works on websites that have ‘SSL’ and that display the green padlock on the browser. I am even doing an article on it on simonateba.com. Sometimes even when you have purchased SSL, it still does not work. In that case you need to add a plugin to your WordPress site. It only works if your wordpress site is secure. I have spent days trying different things and it only worked for me and several others when the green padlock appeared on the browser. To understand what I am talking about, go to your browser and type nytimes.com or washingtonpost.com and you will realise that there is a green padlock that appears on the left. That’s how you know your website is secure. If it shows an i, with no green padlock, your website is not secure. The thing about writing code and reeling out products is that it takes time to get perfect and it’s the users who will tell you what’s wrong with and how you can improve it. That’s what Facebook and Google do. But if you’re not ready to hear from the users who are facing challenges, you’re shooting yourself in the foot.
Hi,
It seems none of the stylesheets can be loaded as they are marked as insecure

Hi there,
I created a new page and open the tagdiv composer.
When dragging an element to the empty column it loads endlessly. Nothing happens.
Please help – I really like to use it for the next version of our magazine.
Christian
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.
Now, it works. The problem was the SSL certificate.
Hello kessler213,
Please ensure that you have imported your slider in order to achieve the slider on your website, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/
Thanks for your understanding!
Dear Robert, could you please clarify how you fixed it? After you changed the TagDiv code into get_content, does the rest of the theme functionalities still work?
wp-types support recently investigated Newspaper theme and concluded the theme cannot use Toolset seamlessly https://wp-types.com/forums/topic/side-bar-not-working-well-when-enable-it-to-custom-archive/
Thank you very much!
Cheers, J
So having used the theme for two years with no problems – purchased it having researched it – it now moves to a proprietary page builder instead of the widely used VC – causing untold problems for lots of people.
Tagdiv should concentrate on what ‘news’ websites are doing – not ‘improve’ something that is already excellent.
I have 7,000+ posts – 20 new each day, I run a business
Firstly it was the ‘super fast’ mobile theme that can’t take ads from the desktop version – ads are how we make money
Now updates will only be issued for the new page builder in the future – not VC – that’s not what we paid for
People have paid for this product – there should be updates for both options and the chance to stay the same.
Do you ever research what news websites are doing now? Newspaper isn’t that much better than many other options anymore.
But now it’s more difficult than ever to use, content is disappearing, people are confused, and developers aren’t improving the features that other news sites are adopting, and so it will probably falling behind.
Plus – my site loads in under 2 seconds with the right settings, I fail to see how any improvement in using the TagDiv Composer is worth any speed improvement it may give
I think you’ve made a mistake with 8 – and have to look elsewhere now which is a shame – look through available themes that are bestsellers for news – they all use VC – and everyone is happy – this improvement isn’t worth the hassle
I have solved the problem and I understand why others may have it. For TagDiv Composer to work, the site have to be secure. Not, just having an SSL certificate but you must be sure that part of the site is not secure. There’s a WordPress plugin that solves the problem for those who already have an SSL certificate. It takes 5 minutes to fix. Once your site is secure with a green padlock, your TagDiv composer would start to function normally. The only problem now is that it still takes some time to open after you move the element, it takes like forever. How can I fix that one?
Hi,
I bought yesterday the Newspaper. Installed it on the site and began to configure the site. TAGDIV COMPRESSOR worked. But one day passed and TAGDIV COMPRESSOR stopped working. When I enter the TAGDIV COMPRESSOR edition mode, it does not respond to changes. When you try to save changes, the save wheel rotates endlessly. I tried to deactivate TAGDIV COMPRESSOR and activate again, but it does not help. TAGDIV COMPRESSOR does not work. What to do? Thank you.
Hello,
My question is kind of simple, how can we show more than one Adsense code in the posts? The theme currently supports only one in-line ad, which can be set at specific paras in the article.
Indeed there are plugins, but they seem to conflict the existing java scripts, plus adding more javascripts seems like pain. Is there any way article in-line ads can be added without hassle?

Hi, guys!
Looks like i’m not first person, hwo is asking about this feature. đ
In real life it’s difficult to build user-oriented site witout CPT’s and CT’s, with Categories and Tags only. The world is slightly wider.
TD team provides nice support for CPT&CT in they Themes. I’ve installed the Types plugin, and CPT’s created by them was seamlessly integrated in Theme panel.
Left to do the next steps – Custom Taxonomy support in:
Block & Big Grid filters (admin pre-filters in TD-Builder)

Block headers (as Categories now)

Standart post settings (like in a CPT settings now)

Okay, as per the request, here are complete steps: (assuming you have set up nameservers for your domain correctly pointing to cloudfare domains)
This guide is for GoDaddy though, similar may be available, i don’t have experience over other hostings.
1. Under Crypto tab of Cloudfare, create an Origin Certificate. Select RSA as private key and don’t forget to add wildcards (subdomain). Hostnames should include yourdomain.com and *.yourdomain.com .
2. Get the private key and certificate. Keep the tab open or save it to some text files.
3. In your hosting cPanel, head to SSl/TLS section.
4. Enter the private key and add the one generated by Cloudfare Origin Certificate (Step 2)
5. Repeat for Certificate.
6. For the CA Bundle, you will have to copy it from here- Cloudfare Root Certificate
7. Validate the SSl through Install and Manage SSL Certificates.
8. Head to Crypto section of Cloudfare and activate Full(strict) under SSL (very top of crypto).
That’s all steps needed for setting up free Cloudfare SSL https Certificate.
Apart from that, you might also need to set up redirection from http to https using .htaccess code. For that, do following:
> Head to root directory and edit .htaccess file. Add this code just after RewriteEngine On–
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
Final step i would recommend is to setup search engines- Google, Bing and Yandex to use https also. You can submit them separately on them.
Apart from that, very last trick, most people tend to submit their sitemap to search engines and wait for them to process their website pages. I would recommend you edit the pages first, add SEO to them, and when you are done (yes, completely satisfied with everthing including on-page optimization as well as interlinking), simply force the search engines to re-crawl your pages.
Following is a short guide to force re-index pages-
1. Google- Head to search console and use fetch and render tool.
2. Bing- Don’t use fetch as bot, rather use this link and submit your pages.
3. Yandex- You can use re-index important pages.
Hope this helps. đ
You can now delete visual composer but keep in mind that some elements will have to be recreated using the tagdiv composer. We recommend when making the change from one builder to another to recreate the entire page using the tagdiv composer only.
Do not edit a page with the new builder if it was created using visual composer. The page will have to be recreated in the new builder luckily, the process is much simpler now as you can see the changes live.
The move from one builder to another will be a bit of a hassle at first but we suggest moving over to the new builder as in the future the theme will rely on our own builder and not visual composer.
Future options and features will only be available in the tagdiv composer.
Our builder is also much lighter than VC ?

After the cloudfare setup, you will have to follow steps below;
1. Head to Crypto section of Cloudfare.
2. Create an Origin Certificate and upload it to your domain.
3. Validate the certificate in your domain.
4. Under SSl of Crypto (Cloudfare page), activate the certificate with Full (Strict).
How to configure SSL to my domain?
Basic follow up recommendations are already provided by the developers. I will give you some additional tips (considering you are using the mobile theme plugin already):
1. Optimize images
>Reduce the size of files just before uploading. Use this software- Caesium, and set quality to 80 (i set 60-80 depending on existing size). Resize image to 1280 maximum, unless you really need to show images with high quality.
>Use Wp Smush and regenerate thumbnail plugin.
2. Use a CDN– Cloudfare is free. Its easy to set up too.
3. Https support– trust me, its really good. You can always google https vs http to find why https is good. You can get a FREE SSL certificate from Cloudfare indeed and implement it on your website.
4. Remove query strings– so far, i use Remove Query Strings From Static Resources plugin to fix it. Query strings are actually calling server for something specific.
5. Use WP Super cache (supported by theme) and Cloudfare and yes, GTMetrix plugin. These 3 will make your website god of speed.
6. Heartbeat control– its pretty much for reducing load on your server, not recommended if you can’t implement it properly.
7. Wp Optimize– cleans out waste garbage in your database.
Hope this helps. I personally tested them all out. So far, i just couldn’t figure out a way to fix those etags.

Hi,
This is how I am seeing the news ticker on the pages. I see no problem with the element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ZTOQzsVQmf
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Wr8vhrRR78
– https://www.screencast.com/t/UeCHEgX2pe
If you want the code you entered to apply only on the category pages as it should, please create it as shown in the previous reply. Use the category class in the code. The customization you made for the ticker in the category pages is affecting the homepage as well
– https://www.screencast.com/t/OfqsuVlew
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ksSLLoeu
Then it will display properly by default on the homepage
