Hello,
We have included our own tagDiv composer in the newsmag theme so starting from version 4, the recommended page builder to be used will become tagDiv composer.
Please use this guide to transition between the 2 plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
And please use this guide to learn how to use the new tagdiv composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/
We have tried to keep the block settings as close to the previous implementation as possible:

Thank you!
Hi,
I could not say when the review system will get an improvement and more options added. I believe there are more pressing implementations at the moment, but that does not mean this will never happen. There are a lot of suggestions and recommendations, each will be looked upon and decided. We will just have to see what future updates will bring in all aspects.
Thanks
Hi,
There are many similar topics here on the forum with worse consequences in some cases. It is strongly not advised to update the Visual composer plugin before it is officially provided in the theme package, and supported.
Once the plugin receives an update, we will test it and include it with the theme. This will ensure a full compatibility between the two

Thanks
Hi Bogdan,
I came to that idea too, but your suggestion is unfortunately not a solution for me.
Maybe you can have this in mind for future updates of the theme. It will be good for UX on mobile.
Hi,
So you have tried to deactivate and delete the updated version, and installing the Visual composer from the theme package, with no result. Maybe something happened to the page elements with the update.
If that is the case you could only try and recreate the page, if you are absolutely sure that rolling back to the version included in the current theme package is not fixing the issue. Or restore a website backup if you have made one previously. I could not say what was damaged or what has to be done in this case unfortunately.
Thanks
Hi,
Yes, the new updated created this issue as you do not have to update the plugin directly from the plugin author. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Reverting back will not fix the pages. unfortunately by updating you may have compromise your pages and they will have to be recreated. This is the perfect time to switch to the tagdiv composer. Please do not use both page builders at the same time.
Thanks.
Hi,
Probably that happens because you have updated the Visual composer to the latest version. This is strongly not recommended, and it can cause problems like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
When an update for this plugin is released, we will first test it and then include it in the theme package when ready. Once provided in the package and officially supported, it will surely work as intended.
Try installing the Visual composer version that is currently bundled with the theme, and use it.
Thanks
The problem is solved.
Renamed folder with plugin js_composer by FTP.
Downloaded the last package of template updates and installed a plugin js_composer from it.
Activated the new version of js_composer.
Everything works, the blocks have appeared.
Hi, I just updated to Newsmag 4.0
I tried to move my front page to TagDiv Composer
I watched the youtube video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2wGizMz4X0
I added the Big Grid, then add a separator, then add Block 1 and change the row to 2/3 + 1/3
It will create a sidebar but it also make the Big Grid become 2/3 row, too
How to create a sidebar without affect Big Grid?
Just like my homepage now?

I have problems with facebook embed
This problem started since the new update:
I have never been able to get TD Composer to work for me http://www.thewealthscene.com/
When I drag an element across to the empty column, the circle just keeps spinning and nothing loads.
I have had to go back to sj composer but they want me to pay to install the updates.
Any ideas?
My website at http://charlotteareanews.com has a section in the lower middle called AREA NEWS. Recently I updated the category using the category ID code and all of this white space appeared between the items. I want them to look just like the news feeds on the left and right of that section, which are generated through WP RSS News Aggregator pulling from other news media. How can I reduce or control the space in the AREA NEWS section which is based on posts on the site?
Also I would like to have a few words of excerpt from each post and not just the title. Thanks.
Hello
5 days ago i updated VC and Grid block disappeared. (I used the VC download file from VC owner’s site, not from Newspaper dir)
So, my blocks disappeared, then i get VC from newspaper dir and uploaded to VC dir in my plugins dir.
Now blocks are OK.
But i received a message to upgrade VC, can i upgrade? or if i upgrade my blocks will disappear again?

I already updated Visual Composer and now I’m having trouble recreating homepage with Tagdiv Composer, because I only see code and nothing Visual anymore (td_block codes). When trying to open it with Tagdiv Composer I get “Errors happened during _initStructureData() -> _getData()!”
How can I read the code to recreate the homepage (as advised in another topic of Radu) with Tagdiv Composer. It’s not that easy as told. And will I need to recreate all other pages too I made with Visual Composer?
Hi,
The Visual composer (included in the theme package) and tagDiv composer are tested properly with the theme, so they surely are compatible. Please elaborate on this problem so we can understand better.
Check the theme system status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You can ask your hosting to make them if needed, as they might have their recommended method.
Then test to see if the composers are working as intended. The tagDiv composer is a front-end editor that can be used for pages
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Please consider that in future updates more options and features will be available for the tagDiv composer exclusively, as it is under continuous development.
Thanks
Thank you for asnwering,
You are right, I’ve updated the VC plugin, I tried to roll-back to the old version of it by updating it from the themes files and the problem persists, even with the previous version of the js.composer I was unable to restore the tagdiv blocks. Please give me some help on this… how can I make this blocks appear, I’ve a national news portal and currently running with a deformed homepage… please help me to figure out how to resolve it..
thank you very much

Hi,
Try to think of recent changes you might have made, that could have caused this issue. It couldn’t have happened all of a sudden. Maybe you have updated your version of Visual composer as there have been other similar issues. This should not be done, you should only update this plugin after it is officially released in the theme package.
Once an included plugin receives an update, we will test it and include it in the theme package

Hello,
is it possible to have automatically updated Youtube videos playlist on main page? Let’s say I’ll just want it to add every new video from this playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrY0HnxzaTY&list=PLaQokWZfgbynLRhV7HigqcfVAzsNB-t6b
Yes, I now know this.
But the fact is that I have already updated the plug-in separately and I have problems (as it seems to me) because of this.
Will it destroy my site content if I delete the plugin and update it from the template box?
Hello nitrofox,
You should not update the Visual Composer because this latest plugin’s version was not yet tested with our theme and that’s why you can get some errors in the theme, sorry! Notice that we will update the theme with this VC version as soon as possible.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello smga,

Thanks for your understanding!
The mention in the documentation was always there, but how can we know what each user does? It is up to each individual to read the theme documentation before using it and use the theme in the intended way or face the consequences of your actions. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Thank you for your understanding.
We cannot inform all users via a general email to not update the visual composer plugin as it is already mentioned in the documentation.
Thanks
Ignore the plugin update warnings. tagDiv team will test the plugin for the theme compatibility and include it in the next theme update.
Thank you Bogdan,
I have spent 6 hours yesterday, in order to re-create homepage of website.
The moment that website was updated and destroyed because of vc update,
I had 2 other opened tasks, that I gave up.
Yesterday I lost credibility from my clients because of above status.
Why did you not inform us about the problems that the subject has, with one e-mail?
Thanks
