And Visual Composer updated again after that.
To be more clear:
there is no need for home page to be updated daily technically, as most home pages are a summary of content already being indexed, and the content summaries on home page may change hourly, vs daily, and have no long term benefit in SERPS, as the content changes rapidly and so would not be relevant to search the following day if updated daily. This is “normal” practice as the line up summary of content found elsewhere in site pages would be the primary item you want in search not the home page version which is only lead in to the full text version of content. You don’t want them fighting each other. Most home pages for news portals are technically duplicate content in most respects.
Yoast’s WordPress SEO is setup for that thinking; also most corporate sites don’t change daily either. SO, hence why so many “SEO experts” use Yoast and their take on this process (I’ve been doing SEO since March 1995).
HOWEVER – if your needs are different, and/or if “you know better” for your use case, then try this one (which we also use for some websites):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/
This may work better for your particular use case, regardless of THEME being used; as the XML sitemap system you choose has nothing to with the theme settings beyond the data you are entering for pages and posts such as tags, keywords, post slugs, etc. — The theme doesn’t manage the sitemap or any of the special data found in the XML sitemap plugin you choose for your use.
Sorry if I sounded like a bozo. 🙂
Newsmag was just updated on ThemeForest.
There is already another update of Visual Composer. 🙂
From the update released today, the changelog shows 1.3 to 1.3.1 is the result of:
[ V 1.3.1 ]
– updated visual composer to V 4.3.5 (this version of the plugin is compatible with WordPress 4.1)
I actually already own the plugin separate from the theme. I’ve already updated the plugin to its newest version as well. I did this early this morning in fact.
I just want to clarify that there was nothing else updated outside of the plugin as I’m currently deep in customizing the theme for my live website, which will replace the current version of the theme already in use on my site hopefully by Monday. If in fact there were no additional updates/changes, I plan to just change the name of the style.css file from 1.3 to 1.3.1 since it wouldn’t make sense to re-upload the files only to write over my edits (yes, I’m using a Child theme).
Thoughts?
Whats new with the Newspaper New Update Download
and if i upload that would it mess up my setting like it’s back to 0 or what?
why can’t it just have an update through wordpress?
Admin/TagDiv will post updated theme files tonight on ThemeForest (TF); TF will automatically email you once it’s available if you checked the box on the download page for your account. (Good time to check your download page on TF!) 🙂
“WP Auto update” doesn’t work, as the plugin is “bundled version” which comes with the theme, and not the separate licensed version you’d have to pay for separately.
I would assume Lucian/Marius et al will post an update note here someplace when that happens.
It’s redirecting me to the CodeCanyon plugin for VC – http://screencast.com/t/FgDjH0tI and I didn’t purchase it, it came with the theme. Where can I get this updated version?
I have not yet tested/debugged this personally as waiting for the dot revision to theme to coincide with WordPress 4.1 update, and VC update. Once all that in sync, hopefully for Saturday, I’ll take a stab at debugging my own install by starting with only VC and theme running and all other shenanigans turned off, then go from there.
In case anybody following this somewhat important topic for those of us doing reviews 🙂
Thanks for getting back to us.
Just to be clear, to get the update for WPBakery’s VC I will have to re-download the theme files from Envato Marketplace once you made the update?
I assue it will have to be done this way, because in order to get updates fro WPBakery one must ‘register’ the plugin with them, but this one came with the theme.
Also, how will we be notified of a theme update? Through the WP update manager?
Thanks.
See the reply posted by admin in reply to my note about the problem with WordPress 4.1; they will be posting update tonight.
There is no issue with Newspaper and VC 4.3x; the issue is with WordPress 4.1 update which added new front end editor features for those creating web editing panels without VC. This new functionality partially breaks what VC does.
I am on vacations and just figurded out, that all articles are empty white pages now. All pages or pages with pagebuilder still work.
Hi,
Version 4.6.1 will be released this evening which will include the fixed version of Visual Composer. You will receive a notification from themeforest when an update will be available.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the message!

I updated to 4.1 and have no issues on my end with the VC…but since they also issued an update, I’ll be sure to go ahead and update it as well (have my own copy of VC because I’ve loved it for a long time )
Update has been released from VP, should we update from theirs or wait for tagdiv update?
Great.
I updates all td_module .php and now it’s work.
But not all button are displayed
Thanks
Thanks Christopher for reporting this. We have also made some tests and noticed some issues with the “Drag and Drop” functionality of the Visual Composer plugin and possible other issues too.

Hi,
The theme license code doesn’t work to activate Premium Support and Auto Updates for Revolution Slider as the we have purchased the plugin with extended license and included it in the theme.
If you want to get Premium Support and Auto Updates of Revolution Slider plugin you need to buy it.
Thanks
Hi,
That is one problem that may occur when the images vary in size so you need to adjust the css fro those cases also. Unfortunately for that you would need custom css and we suggest to get some to help you with that if you don’t know how to do it as we cannot offer custom work at this time because we work hard on development/updates and support.
Thanks
Hi,
1. If you don’t have it right after the Visual Composer settings you can enabled it from here: http://screencast.com/t/JOoTWenz then set it like this:http://screencast.com/t/xM66rzjlQQJ
2. We will consider adding an more detailed video tutorial about this in the future, until then please provide more details about the issues you have when using the smart lists and also provide an URL so we can check also check/inspect this if possible.
3. Besides theme’s implementation regarding SEO we also recommend the use of WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin and follow this guide for higher ranking for wordpress sites: https://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/
4. Please send your site’s URL so I can also inspect this and also provide a screenshot of the exact layout you have used.
5. Please use this guide on how to update your theme and use the FTP method and upload the theme files via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
6. An contributor is only capable to add/edit and read posts: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor so if you want them to also add media you should change the role to author or editor.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
