Hello,
I have a static startpage, which normally includes a BigGrid, Textfield, Block 6 and Block 14.
If I open it now on a mobile device, there is a strange behaivor.
On the top featured posts are shown and at the bottom also the latest articles
Instead of the Big Grid (which is not possible to show on mobile theme as I read), the code of the Big Grid is shown
[td_block_big_grid_1 sort="featured"]
Same is for Block 6 and Block 14 which appears like
[td_block_6 custom_title="lorem ipsum" header_color="#5b5eba" category_id="30" sort="random_posts" limit="6"]
I already tried to disable all other plugins expect the approved ones.
Any idea how to avoid showing this lines?
Is it related to Visual Composer?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
1) The 3 sections of the footer were not designed to be identical width between them. The logo container is smaller so there will be more space for the other containers. If you want them justified, you can use this css code:
.td-footer-wrapper .td-pb-span3, .td-footer-wrapper .td-pb-span5, .td-footer-wrapper .td-pb-span4{
width: 33.33333333%!important;
}
2) This will not be a simple reuqest to do. It requires a bit of customization work which we cannot provide. We do not have a customization department so we cannot provide such services. You will have to chosse a header style that comes close top what you need, or hire a freelancer to customize the layout for you.
3) We only recommend using these columns in visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ Other layouts could provide ‘broken’ results
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hello,
The code will not work for the mobile theme as it uses a different smart list and the mobile ads are different from the normal theme ads. The smart list on mobile is not smart list 7 but rather smart list mobile: http://screencast.com/t/vZRVfoRPJVo
It may look similar to smart list 7 but it’s not.
I have not tested this method on the mobile theme. The mobile theme will not render visual composer shortcodes. You will have to take a look at the mobile theme ads implementation and replicate it on the smart list:
Here is the code you need for the mobile theme smart list ad:
$buffy .= td_global_blocks::get_instance('td_block_ad_box_mob')->render(array('spot_id' => 'content_bottom_mob'));
It adds the bottom ad to the smart list. You can place it like so:

Thanks for your help!
But I’m not sure where I have to put this code:
[vc_row full_width="stretch_row" el_class="td-homepage-full-row" css=".vc_custom_1477652713189{background-color: #7a7a7a !important;}"][vc_column][td_block_14 sort=”random_posts” limit=”3″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
What is the back end editor in visual composer ??
Hello Mantis,
Please notice that this type of element over you are referring to is just a simple Block 14 which is limited to display only 3 posts and which are placed into a full width row with the stretch rule. You can try the following code and place it in Back End editor in Visual Composer. The code should be found here -> http://pastebin.com/4fRP24YV Then you add this code you should use a bit of CSS for better results. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS area.
#td-outer-wrap{
overflow:hidden;
}
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!

Hello medienstuermer,
Please keep in mind that the theme code has changed a lot from the 6 version to 7, together with the Visual Composer code and that’s why appears this difference regarding on Revolution Slider implementation. Another alternative for you would be to set a stretch row and content from Visual Composer and then you will have to apply the overflow:hidden rule for #td-outer-wrap. This is just a quick solution in this regard.
.home #td-outer-wrap{
overflow:hidden;
}
Thanks for your understanding!
So, on the home page you can add your own text boxes with content … theme cannot invent content for you.
So, in our case, for example we have a text box with h1 tag which is short description of what the site is about.
Above certain news sections we have h2 tags on sub-heads “Book Reviews”…
You don’t need <h3> tags on ‘headlines’ on front page as they are ephemeral and have no SEO value; only persistent elements.
SO, if you use Visual Composer or TD composer, simply experiment with adding your own content.
[slider———-][sidebar]
[text box with h1]
[block of stories]
[text box with h2]
Really up to YOU to decide how you want to lay out, design, and create your site content.
Good luck!
Hi
You can use the default page template for pages and the latest article list won’t be displayed anymore: http://screencast.com/t/LSCtGTxkwUx
You can use top bar 3 for layout: http://screencast.com/t/9qbbYUnC then use this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/d3ceP227f
.td-header-sp-top-menu {
float: none!important;
}
.menu-top-container{
float: right!important;
}
Please make sure that the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again.
Let us know ho it goes.
Thanks!
Hi
Please note that td-composer plugin is still in beta version and is possible to appear some issues with its functionality. The plugin is mostly tested with Newspaper theme but it should also work with Newsmag. Try to use Visual Composer plugin which is included in theme’s patch and check how it goes. https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi
@brad08 the td-composer plugin can be downloaded following this link: https://github.com/tagDiv/td-composer/releases/latest Also make sure that your server meets theme’s requirements: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/ and also check if the parameters from system status have the values indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks!
Hi
Where can I get the TD Composer plugin please?
Brad
Your hosting panel should have error log for your website.
IN our case we switched to using the beta TD Composer plugin in place of Visual Composer, which really helped. Also, moving to php 5.6 from 5.4/5.5.
Hi,
After an Update the Visual Composer doesn’t work anymore.
I deactivated all plugins, still doesn’t work.
The pages where I use the VC there is this message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_map_get_attributes() in /homepages/35/d408646188/htdocs/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/vc_templates/vc_row.php on line 30
HP is http://www.fussball-geld.de
Can you help me?
Best Max
We had lots of issues with VC on our server with multi-XEONS, 32GB RAM, etc.
In our case – awhile back – was to use the beta ‘shim’ plugin which Radu (of TagDiv) came up with, which allowed us to use the most common blocks for story content to setup a fancy home page, where we’d use VC for short period to build/edit page, turn it off, and leave ‘shim’ plugin active.
This has evolved 2 years later into the TD Composer plugin, which does not replace/clone/ripoff VC, but takes that idea of the TD custom modules/blocks into their own plugin to build a nice homepage and strips out most of the more arcane stuff that “most” people don’t use.
So, that is worth a try.
Also ensure you disable loading of VC on posts if not actually using it for posts.
Hope that helped a little.
We’re now using the TD COmposer plugin and don’t have VC installed anyplace anymore.
Hello,
I noticed when I go to edit the home page, the visual composer section where all my layout should be is blank. If I switch to the classic editor I see my code:
[vc_row el_position="first last"][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_2 td_grid_style="td-grid-style-4" category_id="23" sort="alphabetical_order"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block_2 custom_title="LATEST NEWS" custom_url="http://www.chuckyeager.org/category/news/" category_id="14" limit="4" ajax_pagination="next_prev"][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id="td-demo-1"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][td_block_2 custom_title="FEATURED" custom_url="http://www.chuckyeager.org/category/featured/" category_id="3" limit="4"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][td_block_7 custom_title="COCKPIT RECORDINGS" header_color="#2b2b2b" category_ids="18" limit="3" ajax_pagination="next_prev"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_2 custom_title="VIDEO" custom_url="http://www.chuckyeager.org/category/video/" header_color="#82b440" category_id="17" limit="3" ajax_pagination="next_prev"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_ad_box][td_block_4 custom_title="CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS" category_id="19" limit="3" ajax_pagination="next_prev" show_child_cat="all"][td_block_homepage_full_1 category_id=”14″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
–The strange thing is the front end looks fine. I just cant edit it on the backend because I cant see it. i am using ver. 7.3 and the visual composer 4.9. Do I need to update to 7.4?
thank you.
Hello wtechgr,
1) Please notice that you can set your desired background from your Theme panel. Background section, from here -> http://screencast.com/t/FtN8Q3Fx and then, for the entire website you will have this background image. Further, using a bit of CSS code, you can change the background of your posts, reducing the background-color white which is set it by default with the code below ->
.td-banner-wrap-full, .td-boxed-layout, .td-main-content-wrap, .post, .td-header-main-menu, .td-header-menu-wrap {
background-color: transparent!important;
}
And the result should look like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ixscl3NlE6x
Please notice that is just a basic example from which you can begin to customize how you want. If you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
2)For your second request, you can try doing this with Visual Composer or if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to follow in this regard, find som plugins with this functionality and see how it will work with the theme.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
I’ve just tested custom ads on my side and they work fine on my end. Below is the shortcode from Visual Composer which generated this rezult: http://screencast.com/t/bDBmu5rHS
[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_3"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
I am not sure why this happens on your site but there is a change to be a mistake in ad code. Please check the codes added in custom ad spots and make sure that they must generate different results.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi,
Over almost half a year I have this problem,
I can not save the settings in the theme panel, only infinity loading.
I tried it all
– Deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again
– I tried to put ModSecurity to OFF
– My System Status parameters were as you specified
– change php from 5.4 to 7.0
– I do not have a plugin for firewall like Wordfence or other
– Much more I tried
in Google Chrome Console throws this when I press save

Hello Thanos,
Please notice that our demo has been designed to use the Big Grid 5 in that section and I noticed that you are using the Big Grid 7. Please notice that each demo has own design and if you will change the Visual Composer elements may be appeared some differences. Try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Cusotm CSS area.
The code is ->
.td_block_big_grid_7 .td-module-empty.td-big-grid-post {
padding-right: 1px;
}
For more customizations if you are not aware, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work.
Thanks.
Thank you Catalin for your message.
That’s right, one pic (same) for all of the pages! What you suggested is a nice idea but it’s not gonna work for our design. Option we used on single post (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/header-imageevery-categoryevery-post-different-image/ ) is perfect for what we need. That is a solution you recommended to us for our first website.
There is a huge visual difference.
Example with Visual Composer image :
http://picpaste.com/pics/4INUI72P.1476106305.jpg
Example we integrated in a singlepost.php following the instructions above (as in singlepost.php)
http://picpaste.com/pics/OQV5Iizr.1476106340.jpg
We want to apply the SAME on singlepage.php If you have a look at the post on the link provided above, you will se that pic isn’t inside a td-main-content-wrap div but above it.
This link below and solution is of key importance for what we are doing, only difference is that we want to do THE SAME for singlepage.php (single page).

Thank you for your effort
Hello,
@supersheek if you want to remove breadcrumbs from all pages at once, you can use this css code to do it:
.page .entry-crumbs{
display:none!important;
}
.td-crumb-container{
min-height: 10px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
padding-top: 0px;
}
You can add the code in the theme panel->custom css box
@crazynuts99
The title you mention is not a breadcrumb but the page title itself There is a difference between the page title and the breadcrumb. If this is what you want to remove simply change the page template to one that does not show the page title: http://screencast.com/t/rid0B4L9h98
The default page template – it will show the title if you do not use visual composer on that page
Pagebuilder + latest articles – will not show the page title
Pagebuilder + page title – will show the title.
Thank you!
Might be good to put the sticky posts on color backing like the one for TD Composer, otherwise i think a lot of peeps miss that it’s not just another post unrelated to them.
And — hey ! — I need a [IV] badge ! 😉
Hi
