Hi Bogdan,
Sorry for all the troubles, I just did two updates to my site, the theme update and update to to WordPress 4.6. Now the design pages will not show, everything looks the same but the blocks designs are not opening, it’s funny because the preview shows the designed page. I will provide my username and password if you need it.
And lastly, I want to change the theme fonts.
Regards,
Stanley
Hi
First make sure you do a full backup of your current wp-install and to the database also, here is the WordPress official documentation in this regard: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups This is a security measure, just in case something goes wrong with the update process, you can always get back to the previous version.
After this step it’s done you can make the transition in two ways:
– put the site in maintenance mode using a specific plugin for that: https://www.sourcewp.com/best-wordpress-maintenance-mode-plugins/ then install our theme and make all necessary adjustments
– make test sub-domain and upload all content from your live site, with your current theme installed then switch at Newsmag and adjust the site. By making a second domain your live site won’t be affected and you can make any tests with our theme without any risk.
I hope this help.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
Looks like current download of VC with Newsmag is only version 4.9 and *not* 4.11 as comes with latest version of Newspaper (!). (DOH!)
It’s possible 4.11x works, and 4.9 does not. Possible neither works.
Roll back to your back up for the time being.

Hi all,
When I try to edit my front page, the box to make changes to the page has disappeared! Check this out: http://imgur.com/I3puYSV?
Is this a Visual Composer issue? Perhaps related to the new WordPress update? How do I fix this?
It is broken for me…However I am using the TagDiv Visual Composer Shim…so I hope there will be an update to that.
so I update to wp version 4.5 found many errors, especially visual compressor, please help https://bolmutpost.com
Do you expect to have an update soon that is compatible with Instant Articles?
As of now looks like the video post formats are not compatible.
The backend of the site runs fine until we save/update a post. As soon as we do that our server CPU usage shoots up to past 200%, server load goes through the roof, and it takes approximately 10-20 second to save the post. Our site is on a VPS server as well.
Can you help.

What current vulnerability in VC 4.11 are you so worried about exactly that you need 4.11.1 “right now.”
Last time there was major security flaw announced in VC, TagDiv had update to theme and VC same day the patch was released. So not big worry there. 100,000 users are a priority for TagDiv, so they don’t wait a month to patch things based on being around here myself the past 2.5 years.
Just some feedback 🙂
( I don’t work here . . . )
Widespread reports of WP 4.5 update breaking Visual Composer — however some folks say they have no issue with VC 4.11 included with latest versions of TagDiv themes, other folks online are reporting all kinds of themes breaking with WP 4.5 and VC 4.11.1.
If you are using an OLDER version of VC, and your VC is now broken using TagDiv themes; your first step would be to upgrade your VC to latest version included by TagDiv (4.11), which can be found in your all files download from ThemeForest (in the /plugins/ folder — where else?).
For others where it’s broken using 4.11/4.11.1 — might be due to other plugin/setting and you might need to wait for a 4.11.2/4.12 update — maybe not. If some have the problem and some don’t hard to tell if it’s inherently a VC problem or not.
Follow changelog for update status on VC:
https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Release+Notes
Other issues with WP reported widely related to the change in the image processing, setup and compression settings. In theory should mot break existing content since images are static. Regenerating thumbs might help with that, but other issue causing break is far more likely (e.g., blocks/rows using VC and not TagDiv blocks CSS might be broken if edited).
TAGDIV likely won’t have update for VC + WP 4.5 until a 4.11.2 or 4.12 version of Visual Composer pushed (follow the above changelog for timeline).
Reports of issues with VC might not “entirely” be solely the fault of VC + WP 4.5, since presumably WPBakery would have tested VC with the RC1/RC1 version of WP 4.5 out in the wild the past month, but perhaps not.
Just some facts for those freaking out.
Good time to build a backup strategy and also disable automatic updates on your WP setup.
Issue is primarily with Visual Composer. I believe they (TagDiv) are waiting on WPbakery to update VC before TagDiv can push an update with the new version.
Also useful to go READ the changes to WordPress for each major full dot update vs ‘patch update.’ Note all the changes to how images work. This means generally you may need to regenerate your thumbs for the new compression optimizations.
Always keep BACK-UP of your working site, before doing ANY major update to WP, so you can seamlessly ROLL BACK to prior version. Good time to plan for that as it’s a basic WP admin skill everybody running a website that is more than a blog should learn.
I no longer provide help/support around these parts, but popped in to see how the fur was flying before I even attempted my updates. Also checked the VC support forum where everybody freaking out.
ALSO be aware that WP sometimes have its own inherent bugs — but normally those should have been tested by major plugin devs (ahem WPBakery you froods!) with the RC1 and RC2 versions prior to WP releasing latest build today as stable version.
Anyway…. just some feedback as long time lurker here (2.5 years so far … ) 🙂
Roll back if you can. Try disabling VC if you can’t.
Also good time to make sure you disable auto-updates of WP core files, if you don’t already do that.
Please could you speed up the testing and release an update that will make the theme compatible with WordPress 4.5 (final version has released) as soon as possible. Thought you should have started testing with beta versions of it.
Ok. I just update Visual composer to 4.11. I download my theme ( Newspaper 6 ) again and in the includes/plugins folder was js_composer version 4.11.
Fixed my problem.
Hello,
My website is not showing featured images on any pages or posts. Nor are they showing on my slider. What is going on here?
They disappeared after I updated to wordpress 4.5.
Please, any help would be great. This is a terrible situation!
After the last update wordpress not work loading animation image. If enabled “loading animation image” – Pictures are not displayed. If you turn off “loading animation image” – all displayed correctly. Do you know about the problem and how to fix it?
We just updated to 4.5 this morning, and it looks to have broken Visual Composer.
We are hosted on WPEngine.com.
Visual Composer just shows blank.
However, when you go back to classic mode, you can see the post to edit.
We just did a restore back to before 4.5, and now it is working. So the error is definitely with the WordPress Update.
I have recently bought Newsmag template and would like to use it to update the design of a website I have already deployed but using a different template.
Is there any trick which will enable me to do that without unplugging the actual website ? My objective will be to work on Newsmag template and adjust it until I am ready to switch the templates.
Thanks for your assistance.
Chris
You’ll get the new version of Visual Composer plugin as soon as the team at TagDiv finishes testing the new version. You can’t update it on your end unless the new version of the plugin doesn’t come bundled up with an updated version of Newspaper. If you want automatic updates enabled for the composer plugin then you’ll have to buy the Visual Composer separately 🙂
Cheers!

For your information I updated the theme to version 6.7 through Envato Toolkit.

Hello shariarkuasa,
This problem was caused by the Word Press update that broke our category pagination. This issue was fixed in the latest update and now work as properly. Please notice that you are using the latest version of Word Press and not the latest version of our Theme. (you are using Newspaper 6.0). As a hint, you can take a look over this topic, here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagination-not-working-when-big-grid-not-used/ but I cannot say for sure that this workaround will work 100% for you. Please assume that you are not using the latest version of our theme and all improvements and bug fixes we will solve only for the latest version and for older versions we no longer test them.
If this will not work for you, the single way is to update the theme to the latest version (6.7) or you can try with an older version of WordPress.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
The plugin cannot be activated as it is bundled with the theme and is a free version. We will include plugin updates along with the theme update.
As for the demo’s, please make a request via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will provide them there.
Thank you!
