Hi Guys
New to the theme; download all went well and installed.
Visual Composer is asking me to “Activate Visual Composer”
When I click the button it asks me to allow it to link to my Envato account which i did.
I then get a page saying “no licenses found” and asks me to purchase a stand alone license for Visual Composer. two questions.
Did this license not come with my purchase?
Do i need to pay the $34 for the Visual Composer license to use it?

I believe using the TagDiv Composer “BETA” with Newsmag is still kind of a hit or miss option.
I’m using prior version of TD Composer with Newsmag 3.1 with zero problems.
I don’t think it’s been tested with the current version of Newsmag, but I could be totally wrong. Most folks still using Visual Composer included with theme and not the TD version.
Remember ionMag and Newsmag are two different things.
Current version of TD Composer included with latest IonMag theme works with Ionmag perfectly also.
(We use both NewsMag on our main sites, and IonMag on a persona/project site.)
I don’t work here -just food for thought until real support team back on hand.
Waiting on my server backup, so twiddling virtual thumbs over here.
We can’t because this is a widget inside of Visual Composer that just adds the Vimeo URL to the ID of the video.
Hi,
I would suggest to deactivate all the plugins except Visual composer, clear cache and purge cnd files to see if the problem is still there. It could be a compatibility issue since it is an old version of the theme with some of your plugins so it would be recommended to update your theme to the latest version, because the theme has improved much over time. Also update the required plugins as well – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ Here is a tutorial about the update process – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks
Hello joeville9ja,
Every time, you have to use only the bundled version of Visual Composer because this is tested with the theme and should work as properly. If you are using another version of VC, notice that it could not work properly with the theme. Notice that the pages have to be editable with this version of Visual Composer. Try to make a new FTP install for your Visual Composer, clear all your caches and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
I’m getting AH00124: Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.
I’m using contact form 7, Jetpack, visual composer and Yoast SEO plugin on my site. Can you please help me to fix this?
The site is running, but this error from the log. Sometimes the server out of resource for this issue.
Hi,
You can create any page structure you want in Visual composer with the elements available – https://www.screencast.com/t/rfMGHQ1X or easily drag and change their position inside a created page – https://www.screencast.com/t/Du0eHRcHbCP More about this here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ The featured category is created by default and it is specially designed not to display the category tag on posts – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/ As for your other questions regarding assigning categories in blocks, sort order, post limit and filter, I think you will find the answers in this blocks tutorial – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks
Hi,
If you mean the post social sharing, that was created for posts and it could not work properly on pages even if you find a way to implement it by modifying the theme files. On pages you can use the equivalent social sharing elements from Visual composer – https://www.screencast.com/t/PTVOeGPlgX6 Please correct me if I misunderstand.
Thanks
Hi,
There is no need to activate Visual composer because it is pre-activated from the start, just ignore the activation messages – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Updates for all the theme’s plugins including Visual composer are provided along with the theme update. When a new version is available, just download the full theme package from themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ then deactivate and delete the Visual composer plugin from theme panel and install the new one from the package. Your pages created with visual composer will still be there. But in case something goes wrong it is always recommended to have a backup – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The theme has a responsive design so it adapts to different device sizes. If the mobile theme is not activated then the same content of the desktop will be displayed on mobile. When you activate the mobile theme it will display a predefined layout on the homepage, with a top grid and latest articles and you can add content through the mobile editor. More information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ You can use the browser inspector tool to see the site in mobile view – https://www.screencast.com/t/zdjQv4EZ
Thanks
Hi,
Some of the footer templates come with predefined content and others are blank templates, more information here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/footer-templates/ If you want to have just your own content in the footer, select an empty template – https://www.screencast.com/t/Bn9NUU1sh and add your content in the widgets section.
To remove the post author name on blocks and modules go to Theme panel->Block settings – https://www.screencast.com/t/jlRInAea and disable it there. You could use the calendar widget available as a widget – https://www.screencast.com/t/HZreerRjG or in Visual composer – https://www.screencast.com/t/zTlqB9JYO but if you need a complex calendar with more options and possibilities, you must search for a plugin that can offer them as I can not make any recommendations because no such plugins are tested with the theme. Just try a few of them and select the one that you like.
Thanks
I keep getting this error when I try to install the plugin. I have unzipped it, and even deleted the whole theme and retried it. I saw on a couple forum pages where it said to do it through an FTP? I have no idea what that is, and I purchased this theme because it said one click install. I am new to all of this. Please help!!
The plugin does not have a valid header.

Hi,
The Homepage post is just a Visual composer element that can be used just in any page you create and set as a static homepage – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ as can be seen in the demo – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-one-top-post/ Since it is a homepage post it must contain a post to display. If you are looking to have something resembling it’s style you could use other elements like the slide element or a single image etc. You can find most of the elements used in the theme in the demo here – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ in the features menu.
Thanks
Newspaper – Theme Version: 7.7
This happens only when I activate Visual Composer. I used the Visual Composer bundled with the theme. I also downloaded the latest version of Visual Composer from my envato account and I still encounter same issue. I use Visual Composer to build my pages.
Hello Liz,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and also, make sure that you use the bundled version of Visual Composer which come with the theme packet. I have checked on my side and the Image Box Block is there -> https://www.screencast.com/t/qAbH2QNalNb Try to remove and install again the Visual Composer and check the results.
Thanks for the message!
Hello kumar subham,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you mean, sorry! Please provide more details about what you want to achieve, also, provide some useful screenshots so I will be able to provide a more accurate response. For more information about how you can use the Visual Composer, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello apinfadli,
I guess that you are using the 1/3+1/3+1/3 layout in your Visual Composer and that’s why you bring this white space, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/PoQ4mqpMkEn For more information about how you can use the Visual Composer, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I have inspected some of your posts but I do not see any problems regarding the post content – https://www.screencast.com/t/uwvWZgoPTgX – https://www.screencast.com/t/DZS0YYkQpP – https://www.screencast.com/t/ool19s7h If you still have issues, maybe it is an intermittent issue and could be caused by a recently installed plugin. You can try to disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear your cache and check again. However you should consider updating to the latest version of the theme and it’s plugins, even if it proves to be difficult as I see you have a lot of customization that you will have to check for compatibility, because some modifications may not work with the latest update.
Thanks
Hi,
The Visual composer editor plugin is required to be installed in order for your site to display properly, and have the possibility to create your pages using it’s features. Visual composer and other theme plugins are provided in the full theme package -https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ and updated along with the theme updates. The editor also comes pre-activated with a licence (just ignore the activation messages), so you will only need to install it using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ and use it according to this tutorial – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ Also you can find all of the theme’s documentation here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
Regarding the post image try center-aligning the image – https://www.screencast.com/t/OyLgj5fjC – https://www.screencast.com/t/yKoQ079Z or adding just a line of space above and below the image – https://www.screencast.com/t/HOvcrbm1
Thanks
Hello joeville9ja,
First of all, please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and also, make sure that if you are using some untested plugins, all of these do not influence and interfere with your theme core files and cause this issue. To be safe, try to disable all of the untested plugins, leave just Visual Composer to be active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. After this, ensure that your system status parameters are according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Well since we are not seeing this error on our end and no other user reported such an issue, I think it’s safe to say the error is not in the theme but rather on your end.
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
I installed it with the Visual Composer plugin theme folder. It is said that there is no need to activate it. But in the editor there is no option for how the page looks in mobile view. When you preview the pc image comes up. How do I edit with mobile, tablet, display? There is no editing option for live preview. There was such an option in Visual I used before.
Thank you.
Note: Since it is a Visual Composer update, will you have to download the whole theme file again via theme forest and reload the plugin again?
When we uninstall the add-ons, the themes we saved our pages, will the settings be lost? Will we come back when we reinstall?
Is it possible to export Visual Composer settings and themes and then import them again? With which vehicle can be done?
Hello,
This could not be a plugin conflict but rather a js optimizatuion/minification The images on your site do not load and the js elements such as the search do not work: https://www.screencast.com/t/WqYlipKJi5v It is clear that a js error is affecting your site.
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
The translation should work if you load it from the load translation button. Not manual translation though. Please use the guide above and then clear all caching. If the translations do not work on the mobile theme then please disable all plugins except visual composer and the mobile theme, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
The color in the footer originates either from a custom css you added to the theme panel or a plugin that rewrites the theme css. Please remove any custom css from the theme panel and disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
It also affects the related articles on posts.
Thank you!
Hi,
You can not update Visual composer directly from the producer, updates for the Visual composer editor are provided along with the theme updates in the full theme package you have downloaded from Themeforest – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ and you can update it manually as explained here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Just deactivate and delete the plugin, then upload and install the new version from the theme package, plugins folder. Also you do not need to worry about Visual composers’s update message because it is already activated as specified in the link provided above.
Thanks
