Hi @NextdMedia and thanks @Chris S for your suggestions!
I’ve checked your site and noticed that the og:url property is not set correct: http://screencast.com/t/3NVjIRzGJ2 For more details about setting up the og properties you can check this link: http://ogp.me/ Also try this without any other plugins, leave just Visual Composer and SEO by Yoast active, clear all caches and test again.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Seems like composer is not activated. Like he is not there at all.
Try disabling all plugins, and make sure you have no modifications in functions.php.
Something is wrong with you site. The theme works fine on clean installation of wp.
The only thing that breaks the theme is td-api plugin bringing WSOD.
You should deactivate all plugins except v. composer.
Hello,
Unfortunately, at the moment the theme does not have an option to customize the mobile version. The desktop version is just adjusted to display correctly on mobile. Maybe in a future version we will be able to implement such options.
If you want to hide the sidebar on mobile you can if you use CSS to customize it. At the moment, on the mobile version the sidebar moves to the bottom of the content.
You can hide it by using this code:
@media (max-width:767px){
.td-main-sidebar{
display:none!important
}
}
This applies if the sidebar is a standard sidebar from the widgets area. If you create your sidebar in visual composer when creating a page and using column layout it will have to be targeted different.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello i have this message “Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.” and “Open Design Options” but is not possible open :/ and visual composer is very slowly. Radio disney club
Hi
Also try this css, the mobile menu should be displayed fine as can be seen here: http://screencast.com/t/jp1tum8q
@media (max-width: 767px) {
.td-header-border:before {
display: none!important;
}
}
Try to clear all caches, deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and test again.
If this is not what you mean or you still have this issue 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
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using the latest theme’s version but an outdated version of Visual Composer plugin. The current version of the plugin available with the theme is V4.8.1 Try to update the VC plugin from /plugins folder included in theme’s path downloaded from themeforest: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ clear all caches and test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hi
The theme have different containers which contains different parts of the content. I am not sure what container do you need but here are few of the main containers:
– td-outer-wrap it’s the container which contains all page/post content, header, content and footer: http://screencast.com/t/eCVzziwisN This is an id container: #td-outer-wrap
– td-container it’s the container which contains only the page content built in Visual composer page builder, and all post content without header and footer: http://screencast.com/t/kJa6Ykj75 This is a class container .td-container
– td-container td-pb-article-list This container contains the latest article part, when the page builder + latest it’s used as a page template for the page: http://screencast.com/t/enC6VWlNBz
For a better understanding please check this link: http://screencast.com/t/pnymQnLjUk7
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello matijakurusic,
If you want to change the block title colors for a specific block, you can achieve this thing if you set this option within Visual Composer->Block Settings, like this: http://screencast.com/t/RRb7jeCLDIu . After this, please clear all caches and try it again. If your problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide your log-in information so we can take a look at your page setup. Please also provide a link to this topic so we know who you are.
For your second request, you can change the font in Theme panel->Theme fonts->Other->News Sticker Title, like this: http://screencast.com/t/pXssS3aJC and for change the font color, please use the code below in your Custom Css area, within Theme panel, like this: http://screencast.com/t/0aJpgH9A
.td-trending-now-wrapper a {
color:red;
}
The result you should see here: http://screencast.com/t/v6o6HFs2W
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi mjaffer,
You need to use 2 different custom widget to achieve as you wish. When you create a page, please use Widgetised-this is an Visual Composer element, like this: http://screencast.com/t/oKxNEtdcqqP6 . In sidebar field you can change what kind of widget will be used and then, in Wp panel-Appearance-Widgets you can set this as you wish, like this: http://screencast.com/t/kUOMTYPS . Also, if you want to create a new sidebar, please consult our documentation, here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Also, thank you @TheMediumUTM!
Hello,
The category tags on modules/blocks cannot be colored from the theme panel. This was a design choice to avoid too many colors on the front page. It can be done with css as Alin suggested above:
http://screencast.com/t/VOkPxAWbnJe
.td_module_wrap .td-post-category {
background-color: #BB391B;
}
Alternatively you can select block color to differentiate a specific category by color as our home page is set up: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ same block type, different category, different color. You can do this from block settings in visual composer. You can also use the ajax filter to select sub-categories to display
I hope this helps
Thank you.
Hey,
yes I mean smart sidebar, I add also the clasname “td-ss-row” in the “dynamic sidebar” widget of visual composer but it don’t work.
Thanks!
Simon
Hi servedaily,
Yes, it is possible to display an image in that gray box. You can set this within Theme panel, as background image, like that: http://screencast.com/t/AtlvgnQib and the image will be the full background of the page. In this category style, header container are transparent and practically in this container you can see the background image. http://screencast.com/t/6x3ZUf4ZrQo
Also, another possibility for you, would be to use a bit of Css to make some customization. Please try the code below in your Theme panel->Custom Css area to fix the problem, like this: http://screencast.com/t/gtGlwFvufE
.td-category-header.td-image-gradient-style8 {
background-image: url('enter your URL image');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Note: If you want to follow the above option, please use a background color/image (white color for example).
Every category has an custom class set to it. You can get this class by inspecting the category page with your browser inspector: http://screencast.com/t/5uS8nYlTc6u
For example mine is category 66. So i would add this to the beginning of the code like so:
.category-66 .td-category-header.td-image-gradient-style8 {
background-image: url('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b5/Winnersh_Meadows_Trees.jpg');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Now the code will only apply to that specific category. So if you need to use the code for another category you can simply copy and paste it and change the category number and the image.
To achieve custom headers for each category is not a simply task and this things are required custom work. You can use another category_top_posts_style (1,2,3,4,5,7) for each category you have and it is necessary to create some function in php and shortcode composer shortcodes here');?> in order to works fine. http://screencast.com/t/0DIS3Bzfxi
This is a complex task which requires lots of customization and if you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you as we can’t offer customization services at the moment.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
Unfortunately our theme was built using a fixed width and all the elements depend on that width. But inspecting your website i saw that only a few images were full width. The rest of the content is in a fixed width container.
We have a few full width options in our theme as well, like a few post styles that use the featured image at full width:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-the-new-screen-savers-the-show-that-launched-video-into-the-stratosphere/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-lenovo-details-new-computers-that-could-be-heading-our-way-in-2015/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/
And you can also use visual composer to add full width images to your pages like in our travel demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_travel/
In order to achieve this result you can follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/adding-top-area-like-travel-example/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
The screenshots you presented are visual composer settings but the link you provided is of a post. For posts, the best way to chieve your goal is to change the post template to make the featured image be displayed full width:
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-the-new-screen-savers-the-show-that-launched-video-into-the-stratosphere/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-lenovo-details-new-computers-that-could-be-heading-our-way-in-2015/
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/
If you use visual composer on posts and you do not want to use another post template, you can use the full width row, but it will not work with a background image. If a background color or image is set, the website becomes boxed. It will not be able to display VC elements full width.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
Posts already have that option. The featured image does exactly that. Use a post template with a big featured image and you will have the desired effect: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-if-you-only-knew-how-much-your-relative-churn-rate-matters/
For the categories, you will need to modify the top post files in order to achieve your goal and you can add a condition to filter your categories and images: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category
You can also use a do_shortcode to place you images. For example:
The category number represents the category id. You can get it from here: http://screencast.com/t/OKsDtKVi3G5
<?php
if (is_category(13)) {
echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="887"][/vc_column][/vc_row]')
}
elseif (is_category(14)){
echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="886"][/vc_column][/vc_row]')
}
?>
You can add some padding to the image from visual composer from design options in order to make it fit the content.
result:http://screencast.com/t/pHkte6ztxf6t
I hope this helps
Thank you!
Just a quick question. I cannot figure out how to make the padding/margin disappear from around revolution slider on my mobile homepage. I have adjusted settings in visual composer, style.css, and the slider tab to no avail. Firefox says that the css container is .td-main-page-wrap and/or .td-main-container-wrap, but neither of these affected mobile output. Please see the link for annotated jpg of my problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
You can use this custom css to get it done.
.td-post-content a{
color: #dd9933;
text-decoration:underline;
}
.wpb_text_column a{
color: #dd9933;
text-decoration:underline;
}
For pages i set the code to change the textbox link. If you do not use a visual composer textbox it will not work.
Thank you!
Hi, i have a little problem, may be you can help me.
I tried to create a original homapage, or may be just a header fullsize, but it is not the point.
I create a new php file with sublimetext, in that php file i put :
<?php
/*
Template Name: Home
*/
?>
<?php
get_header('home');
//set the template id, used to get the template specific settings - this was the old home.php template
$template_id = 'home';
//prepare the loop variables
global $loop_module_id, $loop_sidebar_position;
$loop_module_id = td_util::get_option('tds_' . $template_id . '_page_layout', 15); //module 1 is default
$loop_sidebar_position = td_util::get_option('tds_' . $template_id . '_sidebar_pos'); //sidebar right is default (empty)
// sidebar position used to align the breadcrumb on sidebar left + sidebar first on mobile issue
$td_sidebar_position = '';
if($loop_sidebar_position == 'sidebar_left') {
$td_sidebar_position = 'td-sidebar-left';
}
?>
<div class="img-header-home">
<div class="container mt-130 z-index100">
My static content
</div>
</div>
here
<?php
get_footer();
i put my php file in the hosting where wordpress are installed, and from wordpress, i create a page, and choose from template my php file “Home”.
now under My Content <div class = “img-header-home”> I want to add some dynamic content that retrieves items from my blog.
And if it can be added by visual composer on this page. Because I try to create content with but it does not appear online.
I think something is missing (i mean some code php) to recovered the visual composer tomake it works.
i understand html, css, but not more in php, that’s why i need your help.
i’m sorry my english is bad, I hope u can understand.
Thanks in advance.
After updating the Newsmag-file and the files of js_composer and td-speed-booster I get a long list of errors like the following example in the head of the page – and also in the backend:
wp booster error:
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: td_block_1 is not set.
/var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/data-directory/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
The complete header of the page incl. the menu and backgroud-image is no more visible.
And all used blocks in the page are invalid (the tags are visible instead of the block-heads)
[td_block_text_with_title custom_title=“My Headline“ border_top=“no_border_top“] ... [/td_block_text_with_title]
In the backend I can’t see the td_blocks in the visual composer menu – the rest of the visual composer works normal.
What can I do to fix the problem.
Thanks
Ralf
Hi,
I have checked this on my side and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/haFDRCboSOM – http://screencast.com/t/WKNIWWBV4
Please make sure you have added the code properly in td_ajax.php file – http://screencast.com/t/ChkNU6LwP and also check this without any plugins active except the Visual Composer and Easy WP SMTP or other plugin that you use for this. I have checked this using SendGrid.
Thanks!
Hi drsam,
Yes, it is possible. To achieve an sticky sidebar you have to put in Visual Composer (row settings),
in Extra class name, this extra class -> td-ss-row .
Please consult our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thanks.
Hi
To use diferent modules on the category page you will need custom modifications in theme’s core files and I cand provide a quick solution for that. Instead you can use blocks from Visual Composer, which are built from different modules, following this steps:
– first you need to set the block in VC and add a specific class for it as it’s necessary a custom css for this particular case: http://screencast.com/t/RmC19Befc
– switch in backend editor copy this code: http://screencast.com/t/u3Ca4vZrRXda http://screencast.com/t/oej5d5DGAkH
– insert this code in category.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/SRIR9kv4
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3" el_class="class"][td_block_14 limit="4" category_id="6" ajax_pagination="next_prev"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
After that add this css in theme panel > custom css:
.class{
width: 100%!important;
}
The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/mjgyiqSCKn
This code will display the same block on all categories pages. If you need different blocks depending by category it’s need a set of conditions like this: http://screencast.com/t/kDrGBrUE
<?php
if (is_category(13)) {
block for category with id 13 goes here
}
elseif (is_category(14)){
block for category with id 14 goes here
}
?>
To get the category id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/RZuMUg8oM01
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Buna
Ai putea insera news ticker-ul in pagina fara sa folosesti Visual Composer modificand putin structura shortcodului. Totusi vei avea nevoie de VC pentru a genera shortcodul astfel: creezi o pagina noua si activezi Visual COmposer apoi setezi news ticke-ul. Dupa aceea schimbi pe backend editor, copiezi acest cod: http://screencast.com/t/cDY5KUfihF si il inserezi in continutul pagini: http://screencast.com/t/hyzol7lI4tCk
Va trebui sa adugi acest css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/Zw9UT16zNKM
.td_block_wrap.td_block_trending_now{
border-left: 1px solid #e6e6e6;
}
Dupa ce ai generat shortcodul poti dezactiva Visual Composer.
Multumesc!
Hi
1. Try this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/9aYtsB6oNssx
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-main-menu-logo img {
max-width: 70%;
}
}
2. I am not sure I understand your issue totally. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again If the problem persist please provide more details so I can duplicate the situation on my side.
Thanks!
Hey!
I am another “Frank” but I am experiencing similar problems.
I had VC (full license) installed at my site prior to purchasing Newspaper 6.
We have installed according to the manual (https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/)
We tried several times.
We are constantly having a persistant error message in our dashboard (“Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.”) that we can not get rid of and we are lacking a good number of elements (http://screencast.com/t/B2ExxHCzXQye) from VC. We are missig everything in that screensho after “Masonry Media Grid” (see here: abload.de/img/vctes4b.jpg )
We also tried turning everything off and on again – didn’t help.
For us Visual Composer is only offering the same four Dashboard-options as Frank showed in his screenshot above.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Frank B.
Edit.
By pure randum luck while reactivating plugins I hit (in dashboard) “Visual Composer” -> “Settings” and in there by a stroke of sheer luck I accidentaly clicked “user group access rights” -> “Administrator” and guess what? Almost all Newspaper-related items were disabled…
For the persistant Error-Message: that one is still there.
I strpngly suggest adding this to the knowledge-base to check there
