Hi,
We ran a few more test in this matter and have found a workaround to eliminate the error.
You need to edit td_config.php and add this code:
td_api_thumb::add('thumbnail',
array(
'name' => 'thumbnail',
'width' => 150,
'height' => 150,
'crop' => array('center', 'top'),
'post_format_icon_size' => 'normal',
'used_on' => array(
'Big grid 1, 3, 7 - small image'
)
)
);
It should look like so: http://screencast.com/t/RTkWKH6me
Basically you are just adding another thumbnail to the list in between the existing ones. Then the error will not display anymore. I will add this bug to our list of fixes and in a future update we will get this issue fixed.
Thank you!
My facebook likes number didnt update for some days now. So i tried removing the ‘td_social_api_v3_last_val’ from database to make sure i force refresh the value. After removing this row from db i visited a page and then i looked in database again. That row came back, it cached twitter value ok, but 0 for facebook :/
Hello tintin,
I try to access your link and it display this message “Website Coming Soon” .
We released a new update which include a new version of Social Counter plugin which it’s tested and works fine. Try to update the theme at the latest version available on themeforest: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ and also update the Social Counter plugin from /plugins folder. Here you can check our documentation regarding plugin’s usage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi,
@12familyde Glad that it works!
@giantastic and @tajir please make sure you use the latest version of the theme and update also the Social Counter plugin you should have this option by adding the Api key – http://screencast.com/t/kLN56Nzn
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no backwards compatible patch. The update patch is created from one version to another, it will not jump over theme versions. Basically what the patch does is modify just the files that were changed, but since version 6.3 quite some files were changed and patching each version (6.3->6.4>-6.5->6.6) will be almost equivalent to a fresh install anyway. What we recommend to do is to follow this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also update visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Just make sure to do a back-up so if things go wrong, you will not lose any data.
Thank you!
Hello,
The social counter plugin supports these following options:
Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Vimeo, Google+, Instagram, Soundclud.
If you would like to add another social icon, it won’t be an easy task. It will require a bit of coding and it will not be a simple ‘copy this code there’ method. I suggest to hire a professional developer/freelancer to do this.
We have a list with requested networks to be added to social counter, so in a future update we will be able to implement more social networks.
Thank you for your suggestion.
Hello felizubi,
Our forum are dynamically and ussualy we make some modification to optimize and update it. Now, our sticky topics are moved in another section on our site: https://forum.tagdiv.com/best-of-forums/ This is the Best of Forum and here we will add some topics in near future that will be useful for our clients.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Unfortunately I did not find any email regarding this. Did you included a link to this topic?
Maybe it is in spam, I have searched also there but did not find anything related to this topic, sorry!
From what I see above you have updated the theme from an older version. What version did you used before update? Did you ran the script like it is suggested in the documentation for upgrade from version 4? This will import your settings and rename the shortcodes. For example you have this shortcode td_block2 it will be renamed to – http://screencast.com/t/EBcXrpmoQSnR
I suggest to check the upgrade guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and make sure you do this properly if you update from version 4.
Let me know how it goes and if you send us an email( contact@tagdiv.com ) please include a link to the topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is and also we can find it more easily if it reaches into spam.
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
We updated everything
(theme, child theme, visual composer)
we still can’t add any tagdiv widgets and get the following error messages

Please advice
Hello consafo,
Unfortunately, the Big Grid (3) is also a single complex structure and practically is not possible very easy to achieve what do you want. As a quick solution is to use the post ID option that Andrei have suggested you. First of all, please make sure that you have the ultimate version of the Newsmag and otherwise, please update it.
For more information about update, please consult our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ . Notice: Just make sure to do a back-up in case something goes wrong. It also depends on what version you are updating from.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Do you refer to the length of the h3 title for you smartlists?
If you do, please make sure you use the latest theme version 6.6.1 as there is not limit for title length. Or if you don’t want to update the theme please check the code – http://screencast.com/t/dX9bIMCcaYII
Thanks!
Hello,
Please follow this topic on how to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and also: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Just make sure to do a back-up in case something goes wrong. It also depends on what version you are updating from. If you still use version 4, then some things will not work, as version 6 is a totally different theme. A few options got removed and a few more got implemented. Follow the steps in the tutorial above and things should workout.
Thank you!
Hello reich90,
Please make sure that you used an ultimate version of Visual Composer. Try to update it. For more information about this, you should see here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ .
Also please try to disable all the active plugins except VC and install all the plugins that come bundle with our theme.
If your problem is still there afterwards, please let us know.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
Ive just updated yout Newsmag theme to version 2.3.2 via FTP but I noticed that all of my ads have gone. I cant see them though everything looks fine in the panel. Why is that?
Thanks,
Jerzy
I updated to Newspaper v6.6.1, and guess what, The social counter no longer counts the Facebook page likes, it counts the rest (twitter, instagram and Google).
You can see 0 likes on my own website
Hello,
You can check our blog section to get info on all the recent updates and news: http://tagdiv.com/blog/
You can also check the themeforest page for newsmag: http://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/9512331?s_phrase=responsive%20wordpress%20blog&s_rank=29
Latest version: 2.3
Thank you!
Hello,
I have inspected your website again and visual composer is not updated. It’s still version 4.5.3. Please use the guide and update your plugin. And the accordion tab is still the old deprecated tab. The code will not work on your tab element. Only on the new element. Please delete and recreate your accordion tab with the new version of visual composer.
Thank you!
Hello,
It is quite a big update indeed. An update can cause this kind of errors as it is equivalent to switching to a whole new theme. Unfortunately the gallery is totally different in the current version and you will have to recreate them using the current tagdiv gallery or a visual composer gallery if you wish. It cannot be made compatible i’m afraid.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi,
Please make sure that you’re using the folder downloaded from themeforest to update the theme, here it’ the update guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ Also deactivate all plugins clear all caches, switch to a default WP theme and test again. You can also try by doing a fresh install of WordPress, then try to install the theme and check if the problem persist.
Please try to disable all the active plugins except Visual Composer and try again. This could be from a plugin conflict.
After this changes, if your problem is still there, please let us know!
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
Unfortunately the theme has no option to mark a friend on facebook and i cannot provide a solution for it as we have not tried it before. You can maybe find a plugin that has this functionality or some of maybe some of our users that have this set up can help.
I will add your suggestion to our list and maybe in a future update we will be able to implement such an option. Unfortunately this is not a priority. If more people request this option, we will implement it for certain.
Thank you!
Hello hcassin,
Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches, purge all CDN files if you use and try it again. Also, you should try to regenerate all your images with Thumbnail regeneration plugin and test it again. After these changes, if your problem is still there, please provide you URL website so can I inspect it closer. Also, please mention from what version you did the update. I need to know this so I can be able to provide a more accurate response.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi @mtman,
We have opened a ticket to the VC support also when you first reported this.
Bellow you can read the official response:
Hi Ra,
We had already responded in your previous ticket that this will be fixed in the next big release. We are working on 4.9 update which will be out soon.
Thank you,
Thanks!
Hey,
today I have now updated my WordPress. I wanted to edit my page with Visual Composer (WP- text), but the logo of VC is in a loading loop. Do you have advice or a solution?
ps: delete and new-install with downloaded theme is not working
cheers
Update: My problem is fixed. Or to be more clearly – it was no problem. It just needed some time to resync with the facebook api server. So my fan-counter is working fine now.
Have a nice sunday 🙂

Hi, there are some very useful threads here on this forum, but I was never able to mark them as Favorite. It just wouldn’t save it on My profile. I market them as Subscribed to have them separated for future consultation.
But now, I was searching for the Chris config.php recommendation thread to check something and my Subscriptions (under My profile) are gone!!!!
I have (had?) a lot of useful threads marked as Subscribed, to check on the update process when I need to modify several things.
Is it possible to fix this?
Regards,
Felipe Z.
