Hello Fitlogy.com,
The sidebar can be handled from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/TDrqq5UQW For more information about How you can use the Visual Composer, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
1. This could be because of your customization. Please restore the plugin and theme to it’s default code and test again. Try to disable all plugins except visual composer and buddypress, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. I cannot se this issue on my end so it is caused by something on your end.
2. The colors are added by the plugins and our theme has no option to change these colors. You can use this css code to change the black colors:
.bbp-search-form input[type=submit]{
background-color:red;
}
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header{
background: none red;
}
#buddypress div.item-list-tabs ul li.selected a{
background-color:red;
}
.td-page-content .item-list-tabs .feed a{
background-color:red!important;
}
These colors do not have settings for them so they can only be altered with css. You will have to identify the ones you want to change and use the browser inspector to alter their color. If the plugin does not add any options for changing the colors, the theme cannot do it instead.
Thank you!
Hi,
There is no setting in the theme for this, but you can add this code(with the color you want) in the Theme Panel->Custom Css
.td_video_playlist_title {
background-color: #ff533d;
}
The result is like this – http://screencast.com/t/S4aPdjNmE3RU
As there is no way to set a title for a Big Grid in it’s settings, in order to achieve this open your page in the Visual Composer and add a Raw Html – http://screencast.com/t/3tI3IOavQM3O in the same row with your Big Grid(above it) – http://screencast.com/t/DezI2TgTnBfL.
Then in the Raw HTML edit section, General tab – http://screencast.com/t/GJPbPeQkL add this code
<h4 class="block-title" style="border-color: #e29c04;"><span style="margin-right: 0px;background-color: #e29c04;">Latest Articles</span></h4>
This is the result – http://screencast.com/t/3g5c0UJlR (Enter what you want instead of Latest Articles, and choose whatever colors you want for the border and the background)
Thanks
Hi,
Probably this is happening because of a plugin. Try to disable all plugins except Visual Composer and see if the problem persists. If not, enable them one at a time, to spot the one causing it. If none of this works add this code in the Theme Panel->Custom Css
.td-header-menu-wrap.td-header-gradient {
visibility: visible !important;
}
Thanks

Hello Syambarkah,
Thank you for your interest in our theme! So, please notice that our Shop page from Newsmag demo is fully created with Woo commerce elements, using the Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/f1zqTdQc You should create it yourself, according to plugin documentation here -> https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Please update the Social Counter to the latest version provided with the theme. You can find it in the /plugins folder from theme package that you download from themeforest – http://screencast.com/t/6e7bdiRf The procedure is the same like for Visual Composer – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
I’m not sure where you use the Slider, on your homepage I cannot see on, so maybe you have removed it.
You can use this custom css to reduce the top padding – http://screencast.com/t/ZOBfhdBfb
.home .td-main-page-wrap {
padding-top: 15px;
}
Thanks!
Hi,
1. A. Open your homepage in the Edit Page section like this – http://prntscr.com/djak7x
B. Scroll down to the Visual Composer editor and select the row containing the Big grid block http://prntscr.com/dk2msh
C. In Row Settings -> General -> Row Stretch, select Stretch row. Then, just bellow check the Full height row box – http://prntscr.com/djan7m
D. Go to Design Options, next to the General tab and choose the color you want for your background – http://prntscr.com/djao7x
The result is like this http://prntscr.com/dk2nfm
2. Newspaper theme has a fixed width of 1068 pixels(content), that was the way it was designed.
3. When you set a background color or image, the theme automaticaly becomes boxed https://forum.tagdiv.com/background-introduction/. The only way is to remove your background and
choose a Full Header style – http://prntscr.com/dk317u
4. Add this code(edit the padding and font size as you like) in the Theme panel->Custom Css
.td-load-more-wrap a {
padding: 20px;
font-size: 20px;
}
Thanks
Hi,
1. If you want full header/footer display, do not set a background color or image. When you set a background the theme will automatically transform the site into a boxed version.
2. I guess you could use box-shadow effect – http://screencast.com/t/Nk6Slh0g4Kvv
.td-header-style-2 .td-banner-wrap-full {
padding-bottom: 20px;
box-shadow: 0 5px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}
3. You can easily set a featured image also for your pages, then it will appear there.
4. Exactly like I said above. Just change the page template to Default and set a block with infinite load pagination to display your Latest Articles – http://screencast.com/t/Ns18mEZCV – http://screencast.com/t/4se2LI9ruZ3
5. The modules are used to create blocks and also on loop templates. You cannot design your search template using Visual Composer and you cannot add blocks there. You can only change the module to display your articles – http://screencast.com/t/Rw3tAqoYj
6. Try this custom css:
@media(max-width: 767px){
.td-footer-wrapper .td_block_widget {
text-align: center;
}
}
7. Noted, I have added your request on our list.
Thanks!
@Edragon
I think you got seriously lost someplace.
When you go to ThemeForest, on the downloads page, you can choose multiple options including “all files and theme” or just “the theme.”
As stated, you need to download the main “all files” zip and then unzip that on you hard drive.
In there is a folder called plugins, which clearly contains
1) revolution_slider_5
2) js_composer.zip
3) td-mobile-plugin.zip
4) td-social-booster.zip
5) td-speed-booster.zip
I assure you it is there as thousands of other people here can attest.
You don’t need to ‘update’ the Visual Composer plugin just because an update is available; as it might not be tested to work properly with theme. So VC is only updated when the entire theme package is updated, unless you buy your own VC license separately. So once you install the version included with theme, you don’t need to ‘activate’ it with WP Bakery; but I’m guessing that is not your issue if you didn’t even locate the plugins folder.
## here is the readme from the td-mobile-plugin, once you unzip that folder:
Welcome to the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin
TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin extends our themes to offer you a better experience on mobile devices. We are in a continue research
in our work, doing our best for fitting your needs, and because the mobile environment is growing up quickly,
and also your expectations, we come to you with a mobile theme that has been tested to load fast using only the necessary components.
The mobile templates files are in the ./mobile theme directory, the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin detecting and working with them.
From the Mobile Theme section of our well known theme panel, all important mobile theme settings can be set.
Without activating the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin, the responsive version of our theme is used on mobile devices.
###
ALSO, from the theme docs here for install via FTP, it does tell you to download the -tf version of the zip (all files):
Install via FTP
You can install the theme in two ways: through WordPress or via FTP.
The Newspaper WordPress Theme installable file is Newspaper.zip. Please see the following sections for each method and watch our video tutorial on how to install the Newspaper Theme.
Download the Newspaper files from your ThemeForest account. Navigate to your Downloads tab on ThemeForest and find Newspaper. Click the Download button.
On your local computer extract the ZIP folder called Newspaper-tf. After extracting files you will open the folder called Newspaper-tf where you will find more folders (child-theme, documentation, licensing, plugins, psd).
Locate the Newspaper.zip in the Newspaper-tf folder (this is the theme you want to install).
##
good luck and welcome to the giant Newspaper family of users here — I’ve been lurking here since end of 2013 ! 🙂
TIP:
you can create multiple “pages” to test layouts, then choose the one to actually make live as static home page. Just make each test page a draft and not published.
This was how I learned to suffer through the learning curve of VC 4 years ago.
In my case, I switched to the beta TD Composer, which is simpler and had all the modules I actually use.
If you import a “demo” then you can edit the different modules in VC from the page holding those elements. Little bit of trial and error to sort of the menu for each element in the grid, but it can be done.
Hello m0re,
You should use the Visual Composer (4.12.1) until the td composer will be released.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
– The white block is a news ticker element that can be found in visual composer. edit your page and check the trending now element.
– Edit your page and edit the social counter settings and simply remove the youtube ID from the widget settings:https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
– Try to use this code for the top menu on mobile:
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu-full {
display: block!important;
}}
@media (max-width: 767px){
div.td-header-sp-top-menu {
display:block !important;
}}
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-header-top-menu-full {
display: block!important;
}}
– Thumbnail sizes cannot be changed easily in our theme. You will require coding skills for it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/td_api_thumbupdate/
– Use this css code to remove pinterest:
.td-social-pinterest{
display:none!important;
}
Thank you!
This is the layout I have on page:
http://pasteboard.co/6ahnxBoKa.png
But on frontend the css grid is broken and all columnd get 100% width, because .vc_column_container ‘s width: 100% kills .td-pb-span8‘s width: 66.666%:
http://pasteboard.co/6aiXWEp2u.png
I’m using child theme.
How do I fix this?
Hello,
I have the same issue, probably due to custom post type.
For exemple I have the following error message with The Event Calendar Plugin.
After updating the vc_composer plugin to 4.2 I have created a page with “Block 22” then selected the custom type “tribe_events”.
Everything is ok with the page but when I click the url the open the related post, then I have before the post following error message :
wp booster error:
td_module: td_module_single($post): $post is not WP_Post
/srv/data/web/vhosts/htdocs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_module.php
Home
wp booster error:
td_module: td_module_single($post): $post is not WP_Post
/srv/data/web/vhosts/htdocs/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_module.php
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Visual composer will not help you in that I;m afraid. It can only be done by editing the post template files and using a do_shortcode function.
Here is an example of a block 1 added after the comments on posts:
For this I add this code:
echo do_shortcode('[td_block_1]');
In the post template files like so: http://screencast.com/t/Oa0NYEEGb
Thank you!
hello,
If you want to remove the footer, you should only disable it from the theme panel like so: http://screencast.com/t/IsrJtAOLwz
If you use the mobile theme, then you can only remove it with css. Please use this code:
.td-mobile-footer-wrap{
display:none!important;
}
As for the second request please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
The mobile theme will not show visual composer and if you use it on posts, it will show the shortcode and not render it. in this case i suggest disabling the mobile theme plugin and using the standard responsive version of the theme
Thank you!
Please tell me,
1. how to activate visual composer?
2. how to update from Version 4.12.1 to version 5.0 ?
I’ve tried to use BETA “TD COmposer” but with same results.
Might be cache overloading;
might be Visual Composer …
you can try using the BETA “TD COmposer” plugin instead, which uses waaaaaaay less system resources.
Also, make sure you’re on PHP 5.6 and not 5.4 !
Hi,
Did you add td-ss-row to the row in visual composer? https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thank you!
FYI: I only use TD Composer for the home page or strict “pages,”; and use the normal WP post editor for posts. That works with Newsmag 3.1 just superbly. But it is a beta 😉
Friends, unfortunately I had to disable the TD composer.
I noticed that it was affecting the creation of the permalinks during the creation of a new post.
The permalink field of the post does not appear and sometimes the post was left untitled and without permalink after it was published.
If they figure out a way around this bug, I’d be pleased and grateful.
Thank you again!
Hello,
I’ve just upgraded from 7.4 to 7.5. Several aspects of the site are not working properly mainly on our homepage.
First, we use a News ticker and a Big Grid Slide at the top of our homepage. Following the upgrade, without changing anything, the slider has stopped rendering on the homepage.
Here is our Visual Composer Layout:

Here is what is rendering on the homepage:

I checked the source code of the page and the element is simply not there.
I thought I’d check and see if TagDiv Composer might be of use. When I attempted to use it, I got the following error:
Fatal error: Access to undeclared static property: td_global::$td_options in /homepages/40/d181305078/htdocs/kwinix/nextgenindy/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/tdc_main.php on line 388
Finally, we use Block 1 at the bottom of a two-column row. In Newspaper 7.4, the block formatted itself into two columns with the big story on the left and four smaller ones on the right. Now, it spans both columns.

Any help with these issues is appreciated with the Big Grid Slide being the most urgent.
Thank you,
Ben
I just installed the theme, I set up the home page by studying the code generated
by the demo install on a localhost, I prefer working with the shortcodes rather than Visual
composer.
I got a couple of questions:
1.I used the tag [td_block_slide] to generate the slide on the home page, how do i make
the slide to auto-slide and to display pictures from let’s say 6 latest posts.
2.What is the visual composer short codes for Latest Posts widget, Categories widget,and Text widget.
3.How do I make the default side bar appear on the home page.
4.How do I populate the Editor Picks widgets in the footer with selected posts.
Hey…
in my install, it’s not loading the TD Composer stuff unless logged in 😉
