Hello,
I think it’s great that you want to create your own page builder, especially if it is lighter and faster than Visual Composer. Here I want to share my opinion about tagDiv Composer and give you some feedback, if it is OK.
I think that you have a lot of work to do until you reach the level of Visual composer. I my opinion your backend editor is not so user friendly and here are few examples:
01. Native theme elements are visualized great, but others, like “Widget Sidebar”, are poorly visible. You can make the height of this element bigger, because now it is something like 20 px and it is difficult to grab & edit.
02. Rows, Columns and other main elements are hard to understand and edit. In VC is a lot better – bigger and clear editor elements and controls.
03. Text block element is not working for me, when I hit “edit content” text editor pops up with loading circle element, which never load. There is a hidden error in an iframe:
“Warning: require_once(/home/***/public_html/files/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.phpwp-load.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/***/public_html/files/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.php on line 13”
“Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required ‘/home/***/public_html/files/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.phpwp-load.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php7.0/lib/php’) in /home/***/public_html/files/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.php on line 13”
04. Text written in Cyrillic is visualized as symbols and take a lot of space in WP content editor. Example of such text: JTNDaDIlM0UlRDAlOTQlRDAlQkUlRDAlQjElRDAlQjAlRDAlQjIlRDElOEYlRDAlQkQlRDAlQjUlMjAlRDAlQkQlRDAlQjAlMjAlRDAlQjglRDAlQkQlRDElODQlRDAlQkUlRDElODAlRDAlQkMlRDAlQjAlRDElODYlRDAlQjglRDElOEYlMjAlRDAlQjIlMjAlRDAlQTYlRDAlQjAlRDElODAlRDAlQjUlRDAlQjIlRDAlQkUuJUQwJTk4JUQwJUJEJUQxJTg0JUQwJUJFJTNDJTJGaDIlM0UlMEElM0NwJTNFJUQwJTlFJUQxJTgyJTIwJUQxJTgyJUQxJTgzJUQwJUJBJTIwJUQwJUJDJUQwJUJFJUQwJUI2JUQwJUI1JUQxJTgyJUQwJUI1JTIwJUQwJUI0JUQwJUIwJTIwJUQwJUI0JUQwJUJFJUQwJUIxJUQwJUIwJUQwJUIyJUQwJUI4JUQxJTgyJUQwJUI1JTIwJUQwJUI4JUQwJUJEJUQxJTg0JUQwJUJFJUQxJTgwJUQwJUJDJUQwJUIwJUQxJTg2JUQwJUI4JUQxJThGJTIwJUQwJUJBJUQxJThBJUQwJUJDJTIwJUQxJTgxJUQwJUIwJUQwJUI5JUQxJTgyJUQwJUIwJTIwJUQwJUE2JUQwJUIwJUQxJTgwJUQwJUI1JUQwJUIyJUQwJUJFLiVEMCU5OCVEMCVCRCVEMSU4NCVEMCVCRS4lMjAlRDAlOUElRDAlQkUlRDAlQjMlRDAlQjAlRDElODIlRDAlQkUlMjAlRDAlQkQlRDAlQjAlRDElODIlRDAlQjglRDElODElRDAlQkQlRDAlQjUlRDElODIlRDAlQjUlMjAlRDAlQkQlRDElOEYlRDAlQkElRDAlQkUlRDAlQjklMjAlRDAlQkUlRDElODIlMjAlRDAlQjElRDElODMlRDElODIlRDAlQkUlRDAlQkQlRDAlQjglRDElODIlRDAlQjUlMjAlRDAlQkYlRDAlQkUtJUQwJUI0JUQwJUJFJUQwJUJCJUQxJTgzJTJDJTIwJUQxJTg5JUQwJUI1JTIwJUQwJUIxJUQxJThBJUQwJUI0JUQwJUI1JUQxJTgyJUQwJUI1JTIwJUQwJUJGJUQxJTgwJUQwJUI1JUQwJUJGJUQxJTgwJUQwJUIwJUQxJTgyJUQwJUI1JUQwJUJEJTJGJUQwJUIwJTIwJUQwJUJBJUQxJThBJUQwJUJDJTIwJUQxJTg0JUQwJUJFJUQxJTgwJUQwJUJDJUQwJUIwJTIwJUQwJUI3JUQwJUIwJTIwJUQwJUJGJUQwJUJFJUQwJUJGJUQxJThBJUQwJUJCJUQwJUIyJUQwJUIwJUQwJUJEJUQwJUI1JTIwJUQwJUJEJUQwJUIwJTIwJUQwJUI4JUQwJUJEJUQxJTg0JUQwJUJFJUQxJTgwJUQwJUJDJUQwJUIwJUQxJTg2JUQwJUI4JUQxJThGLiUyMCVEMCU5RiVEMCVCRSVEMCVCRiVEMSU4QSVEMCVCQiVEMCVCRCVEMCVCNSVEMSU4MiVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMCVCRiVEMCVCRSVEMCVCQiVEMCVCNSVEMSU4MiVEMCVCMCVEMSU4MiVEMCVCMCUyMCVEMCVCOCUyMCVEMCVCOCVEMCVCNyVEMCVCRiVEMSU4MCVEMCVCMCVEMSU4MiVEMCVCNSVEMSU4MiVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMSU4NCVEMCVCRSVEMSU4MCVEMCVCQyVEMCVCMCVEMSU4MiVEMCVCMCUyQyUyMCVEMCVCRCVEMCVCOCVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMSU4OSVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMCVCRiVEMCVCRSVEMCVCQiVEMSU4MyVEMSU4NyVEMCVCOCVEMCVCQyUyMCVEMCVCMiVEMCVCMCVEMSU4OCVEMCVCNSVEMSU4MiVEMCVCRSUyMCVEMCVCNyVEMCVCMCVEMCVCRiVEMCVCOCVEMSU4MiVEMCVCMiVEMCVCMCVEMCVCRCVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMCVCOCUyMCVEMSU4OSVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMSU4MCVEMCVCNSVEMCVCMCVEMCVCMyVEMCVCOCVEMSU4MCVEMCVCMCVEMCVCQyVEMCVCNSUyMCVEMCVCMiUyMCVEMSU4MyVEMCVCRiVEMCVCRSVEMCVCQyVEMCVCNSVEMCVCRCVEMCVCMCVEMSU4MiVEMCVCOCVEMSU4RiUyMCVEMSU4MSVEMSU4MCVEMCVCRSVEMCVCQS4lM0MlMkZwJTNF
05. Why you don’t have 1/2 + 1/2 columns in build-in elements? It is confusing.
Other than that everything is working great with latest theme and plugins updates 🙂
p.s. I can not understand why this topic is not viewing correctly?!
Hi,
I could not give you an exact time span for the theme updates. As soon as the current tasks will be completed it will be available. Note that the plans I mentioned may not be for the next theme update. It is on the list and will be implemented in the future.
Thanks
Hi,
If there is no buton to save settings that is a clear indicator you have to update the theme to the latest version (8.5.1) (use this guidehttps://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/) and please also disable and delete the multi-purpose plugin you currently have.
Then install it again from the theme plugins section but only after you update the theme.
If you still encounter issues, please contact us on our email address at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin (login information and admin rights) so we can login and investigate. Please also include a link to this conversation.
Thank you!
when you are planing to release new update?
Hello,
Please update your multi-purpose plugin. Deactivate and delete the current one you have and then install it again from the theme plugins section (I see you already have the latest theme version but the multi-purpose plugin also needs updating). That should fix the mobile login issue.
Thank you!
Hello,
1) If you perform a standard update, that will replace all the theme files so your customization will be lost. In each theme package, there is a patch folder that contains only the changed files between versions. If you use the patch and replace just the modified files, you can possibly avoid the replacement of the file if it has not been changed between versions. The child theme works in the same manner. There is no update proof way of altering the theme files.
2) Thank you for your suggestion. This request however will need to become more popular if we are to consider implementing such an option.
Thank you!
Hi again. We still have the problems we already describe to you but we have decided to restore the old version of our web in order our clients can see our contents properly.
We still want to update our website so we show to you a capture of the columns issue in order you could help us:

Hi. I’m having problems with Newspaper Theme when I try to update to WordPress 4.9.1. The version of the theme that I have is the last one (8.5). On the one hand, the content of the posts overrun the column of the right (you can see it here http://www.digitalbizmagazine.com/automatizar-el-flujo-del-negocio/). On the other hand, the lightbox of the products don’t work properly (you can see it here http://www.digitalbizmagazine.com/producto/the-next-big-thing/).
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi,
It is possible to update the latest theme version. This is a theme update guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The most recommended method would be by FTP, make a backup just to be safe. Make sure to update the theme plugins as well.
Note that in version 8 the tagDiv composer was introduced
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
This page builder will be automatically installed and activated when the theme is updated. If your pages contain Visual composer specific elements (not provided by theme) it could create issues. There could be problems if you used Visual composer on posts as well. You could deactivate it temporarily.
Thanks
Hello,
In order to remove the pinterest social icon, you will have to do it from the theme code as until the next update, there is no option in the theme panel for it. If you want to remove it now, and not wait for the next update, please remove this code: https://www.screencast.com/t/vfMn3ZVlX
Further down that page you will find a similar code for the bottom sharing options.
Thank you!
Hello.
@Bogdan B.
1. What will happen when the theme is updated if we change the php file?
2. Maybe you shoud provide the option to disable this in theme’s panel.
Consider the following scenario.
– The meta tag the theme adds is for the featured image of a post.
– The plugin for managing OG tags I use permits to specify a custom image – the tag for this image is also added to the page. (This is very useful when I use portrait images when there is the chance that fb centers the image on the post thumbnail and the view if not ok)
Thanks

I spoke too soon. It seems to have corrected itself in the update to 4.9.1 for new posts, but photos that were rendering correctly before are now exhibiting the same text wrapping problem.
Thanks for you guidance – it was a rookie move on my part. It was a plugin that was causing that initial WP Editor issue. However, I have new problems.
I have disabled all plugins except for the tagDiv theme plugins. I completely removed the Newspaper theme and re-installed the Newspaper 8.5.1 update theme. The issues I am experiencing are below:
1. The left column editor in the tagDiv Composer appears to have a styling/display issue: http://take.ms/RF2ba
Actually, when I first installed Newspaper 8.0 – the left column had some spacing issues. It appeared to be cut-off a bit. But now it is worse in 8.5. The Layout dropdowns are missing and when I try to change I get invalid row change detected errors (as seen in the link example above).
2. When I updated to 8.5, I activated the tagDiv Multi-Purpose plugin. In the tutorial I see all kinds of new elements. I don’t see these in my Composer.
I need a lot of help!
Hi,
its possible update newspaper version 6
quickly to last version? If the answer its no,
how can i download and upgrade the intermediate versions?
Need 7 & 8 files.
thanks
Helo paulfogg,
Please notice that if you want to update the Visual Composer, you should download the latest theme version from Theme Forest and check the results. If you do not remember your Envato Account, you should contact them and tell the problem because they should be able to recover the password, sorry!
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
The mobile theme does not have such settings. The top grid displayed on mobile will pick and display posts that are included in the Featured category, while the latest articles will display a list of posts sorted by latest.
So the present issue would happen only if you include the latest posts in the Featured category as well.
An option that would allow better control in the mobile homepage may be added in a future theme update, but for the moment this could only be controlled with the Featured category and the posts you assign to it. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks
Hi,
The theme does not have an auto load feature available at the moment. This is added on our request list, it might be implemented in future updates. I could not say for sure however.
Thanks
My page is http://www.jazdaprawna.pl
Comments are enabled in the wordpress panel and in the theme options. Everything is well set. Comments stopped working after I updated the template to version 4.2. I also included TagDiv instead of Visual Composer.
Where is the problem? I read that many people have a problem with that.
Hi,
The filter you mention will work only for blocks (not big grids), where it allows to display categories (or other elements) to filter the block dynamically.
Adding it to the category page will do nothing. There might be more options added for the category pages over future updates.
At the moment category page settings can only be made in the theme panel

Thanks
Hello,
Do you have an update on this issue?
Thank you.
Hi
my problem is that the theme was purchased by another developer and I don’t have access to this account.
I’m sure you can see there is a paid version of this theme we are using but I do want to update the Visual Composer. How can I do this?
thanks for your help

Hello blamprou,
Please update the theme to the latest version of it which is 8.5.1, clear all the caches and remove all of the untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of problems with the theme. -> https://www.screencast.com/t/eokp0hQG
Thanks for the message!
Hi Catalin,
i read the url you suggest and the reason of my problems on mobile is wp supercache plugin. I deactivate it and everything works fine. When the plugin will be update things will go better in your opinion?
Thank you
i hope it updated in the future and be compatible with rtl support
