Hi,
1. If you want full header/footer display, do not set a background color or image. When you set a background the theme will automatically transform the site into a boxed version.
2. I guess you could use box-shadow effect – http://screencast.com/t/Nk6Slh0g4Kvv
.td-header-style-2 .td-banner-wrap-full {
padding-bottom: 20px;
box-shadow: 0 5px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
}
3. You can easily set a featured image also for your pages, then it will appear there.
4. Exactly like I said above. Just change the page template to Default and set a block with infinite load pagination to display your Latest Articles – http://screencast.com/t/Ns18mEZCV – http://screencast.com/t/4se2LI9ruZ3
5. The modules are used to create blocks and also on loop templates. You cannot design your search template using Visual Composer and you cannot add blocks there. You can only change the module to display your articles – http://screencast.com/t/Rw3tAqoYj
6. Try this custom css:
@media(max-width: 767px){
.td-footer-wrapper .td_block_widget {
text-align: center;
}
}
7. Noted, I have added your request on our list.
Thanks!
Hi,
STILL SO MANY PROBLEMS!!!
I re installed the theme via cPanel. I checked everything outlined in the screencast and everything is on so it should have been working. I even tested it by turning the author, date and comments off for blocks. It worked as all the Blocks on my homepage no longer had an author, date or comments. I turned it back on and the rest of the blocks author, date and comments display again except Block 16. I did everything you said still doesn’t make it work.
I also realized another issue. I created custom widgets through visual composer. I went to Appearances/Widget and put tagdivs in my widgets. They worked. But after awhile they disAppear in the widgets area and the widgets are empty and the tagdivs disappear. I tried to refresh the widgets page on the dashboard and it still doesn’t appear its like it was removed on its own. I tried to go the actual page of the website with the widget and everything that was in the widget still appeared which I thought was strange.
Overall I’m very confused and honestly quite disappointed so far with this theme. This is supposed to be one of the most popular themes online and purchased it so I can get something that tried and tested so I wouldn’t have to go through this type of stuff. Please try to be thorough when responding to my problems cause its frustrating going back and forth. Thanks.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I cannot identify where exactly are placed the user icon. I have tried to submit to your website but did not see anything, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/FHZPOvLa6jl and nor of the second case, sorry! Please notice that all of these changes are not covered by our support and we cannot do your custom work, sorry! You should do it yourself because it represents additional customizations. Also, I noticed that you are using some untested plugins, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/XPrln6ntlM9 Notice that all of these can interact with the theme core and break the theme functionality. So, if you want to bring best results in theme, you should disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins. Your theme is fully customized and some functionality can be damaged by your untested plugins used by you and we cannot provide support for untested plugins, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I’ve just switched from Elegant themes and I’m having some difficulty with Page layouts. Right now i’m focused on the Home Page.
Images are skewed and not centered as before although I did the Regeneration. For example, the Combat Winter Skin image on the homepage slider is off.
Does the slider need to be so large? I would prefer it it didn’t take up the entire page. Can it be reduced?
When i try to to select a Grid Block, the images do not line up. I set up a separate row as an example. No matter the format i chose, the images do not show up. Sometimes there is gray space.
Footer menu isn’t showing up with the elements I’ve requested.
After the Tabbed Posts, I want my page to go straight to the footer but content is repeating
my website is http://www.hotcupofbeauty.com and i have taken it out of Maintenance mode for a few hours
Also, is the beta for the TagDIV builder still available? Is it better to use?
Thanks.
Hi Team,
I can’t find any theme activation message on the dashboard even after the 3 days of use as promised by the product. Also due to this my visual composer is not active. So please help me. I was using some theme earlier so I did make few changes in few files (which I don’t remember). Kindly help me how can I activate the theme,
Hi,
We use the wordpress default roles and capabilities for users – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities So an editor for example should have access to other settings.
I suggest to disable all your plugins except Visual Composer and check again, may a plugin cause this issue.
Thanks!
Hi,
I’m a very new blogger so I am in the early stages of learning. I just switched themes and removed all of the shortcode from my old theme. Is it possible to build pages without shortcode? Also, is it possible to use Newspaper without Visual Composer. I’m afraid of Visual Composer becoming disabled and losing my content/formats as others have reported.
I’m also confused. This theme comes with Visual Composer. But is there also a Tagdiv page builder? Should I use that one instead? Your video tutorial for creating a homepage speaks about Visual Composer.
So many questions. I apologize but i’m confused

Hello,
I have a problem with my sites users roles. Only administrator can see full admin page and create/edit posts and pages. I have plenty of users with editor roles, but only options that they have while logged in is to configure their profile and log out. nothing else. Where is the problem?
I see that in Visual Composer Settings there is role management section and I also see that editor can access:
post page forum topic reply glossary hrf_faq explandict – all boxes are checked. Why when I try to login with some user which has editor role – I cannot access those things (posts, pages etc.)?
Can you help me? :/
Hi,
Sorry for the delay but if you add reply(ies) to your own topic we will get later to you!
1. This is related to wordpress – https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/remove-the-wordpress-admin-toolbar/?wpcv=b&utm_expid=3606929-93.spVh-aR3SwGklKzL4HJQQg.1&utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ro%2F
2. Please switch to a wordpress default theme and see how it goes. It is the same behavior, the theme doesn’t alter the plugin’s option in this regard. The user see the Visual Composer option but it doesn’t have any options if he doesn’t have the specific capabilities – https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
3. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have a frontend interface to allow users to write articles. The theme uses wordpress functionality – https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_Posts
Thanks!
Hello fderooy,
Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset CDN files if you use it. Also, remove any custom code you may have added to the logo. You will have to check any image customization and compression to see if image quality is not affected by it. Also, remove any image features of jetpack such as the photon. Try to bring the theme as close to default as possible because our theme does not make images blurry or increase their size. There is something on your end affecting the logo and you need to identify what it is.
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using Politics demo and you want to have the style use in Wedding demo, right? please notice that each demo has own style created by our web designer and it is not a simple task to replicate the similar style for another demo, sorry! This task involves custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
We have tested the theme with the beta version and we did not found any issues and also now we use wordpress 4.7 on our local install. Also we did not received any reports in this regard so the theme should work properly with wordpress 4.7.
However it is always recommended to make a full backup before any update – https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
Newspaper 7.5 contains version 4.12.1 of Visual Composer. In the next theme version will will provide the latest version of Visual Composer available on the market and you will be able to update it – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
We plan to release an update. most probably next week.
Thanks!

Hello ollabs78,
Try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
I suggest to create a new page and import one of the theme’s layouts like you can see in this tutorial – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ or create your own custom layout – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thanks!
Hi,
First please check the System Status section like Chris suggested above – http://screencast.com/t/4vBOkUvvXiW and increase those parameters(if it is necessarily) at least to the recommended values – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Also please try to disable your plugins except Visual Composer and check how it goes. Most probably you have installed a plugin recently which cause these issues. Try to use less plugins.
Check also the pagespeed guide and optimize your site – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
To improve your server response time you can try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load). To improve the loading speed look the MySQL query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html we also use it on our demo.
Thanks!
Hi,
Did you added the shortcodes to the Mobile Theme Editor? Please note that the Mobile Theme doesn’t render the tagdiv and/or Visual Composer shortcodes. So if you want to have the same content like on desktop please disable the Mobile Theme plugin.
If you want to use the Mobile Theme plugin and you understood how it works – https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ please make sure that you use the latest theme version 7.5 and you update also the plugin.
Thanks!
Hi,
The buttons are created based on Visual Composer buttons and only those colors are available.
To have a custom color you could use custom css. For example you add the button’s shortcode in your post – http://screencast.com/t/anhIeS86eTkt and then you use this custom css to add your own background and text colors – http://screencast.com/t/kwSPKbjf5Eu
.vc_btn-custom {
background-color: #417096 !important;
color: #29c5f6 !important;
}
Thanks!
Installed all. Registered a new user and checked the entrance for them. What do I see?
1. He sees the admin toolbar on top of the black band. Why is a simple user sees this toolbar and how to remove it?
2 point: I go to the console by the user and see the configure the visual composer &!!! Why? How to remove this access.
3 time: How to make adding articles to the site by the user without the console, just in the frontend?
Hello votranhtuhi,
I guess that your problem with Visual Composer regarding on unavailability of text editor button is not affected by system status. I suppose that rather is a WordPress issue related. Notice that the theme have only the .htaccess and this file should have to respect the default structure of it, as you can see in our documentation here -> http://screencast.com/t/e38Irdz8ZJd This is the standard structure of this file.
Regarding on Suhosin, please keep in mind that this is just a server module and you should try reading all documentation of your host because this setting is related to your server. Also, please notice that you can get more online information about this, here -> https://suhosin.org/stories/index.html -> https://suhosin.org/stories/install.html
Also, if the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Provide there the link of this topic so we can easily identify you.
Thanks for the message!
Hello ollabs78,
The visual composer activation message appears on all sites that use visual composer, not matter the theme or domain. In our case, you must ignore this message as the Visual Composer does not require activation when it’s provided in the theme package. The plugin authors cannot verify this though so they could not remove the message to this particular case. Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
All the theme installing should have to be done via FTP because this is the surest and safe method in this regard. For more information about this, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello hkubilayonal,
Please make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme and also, the latest version of Visual Composer which comes bundled with the packet and which is Visual Composer 4.12.1. Also, try to check your system status to be higher increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Try to increase the PHP memory because this can be exhausted. The theme installations should have to be done via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello ollabs78,
Please make sure if you have downloaded the latest version of the theme and install it via FTP method because this is the surest method in this regard. Please follow the steps which are presented in our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Keep in mind that the Visual Composer come bundled with the theme packet and this plugin is fully tested with the theme and until now, we do not have any bad reports regarding on its functionality with the theme.
Thanks for your understanding!
@Edragon
I think you got seriously lost someplace.
When you go to ThemeForest, on the downloads page, you can choose multiple options including “all files and theme” or just “the theme.”
As stated, you need to download the main “all files” zip and then unzip that on you hard drive.
In there is a folder called plugins, which clearly contains
1) revolution_slider_5
2) js_composer.zip
3) td-mobile-plugin.zip
4) td-social-booster.zip
5) td-speed-booster.zip
I assure you it is there as thousands of other people here can attest.
You don’t need to ‘update’ the Visual Composer plugin just because an update is available; as it might not be tested to work properly with theme. So VC is only updated when the entire theme package is updated, unless you buy your own VC license separately. So once you install the version included with theme, you don’t need to ‘activate’ it with WP Bakery; but I’m guessing that is not your issue if you didn’t even locate the plugins folder.
## here is the readme from the td-mobile-plugin, once you unzip that folder:
Welcome to the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin
TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin extends our themes to offer you a better experience on mobile devices. We are in a continue research
in our work, doing our best for fitting your needs, and because the mobile environment is growing up quickly,
and also your expectations, we come to you with a mobile theme that has been tested to load fast using only the necessary components.
The mobile templates files are in the ./mobile theme directory, the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin detecting and working with them.
From the Mobile Theme section of our well known theme panel, all important mobile theme settings can be set.
Without activating the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin, the responsive version of our theme is used on mobile devices.
###
ALSO, from the theme docs here for install via FTP, it does tell you to download the -tf version of the zip (all files):
Install via FTP
You can install the theme in two ways: through WordPress or via FTP.
The Newspaper WordPress Theme installable file is Newspaper.zip. Please see the following sections for each method and watch our video tutorial on how to install the Newspaper Theme.
Download the Newspaper files from your ThemeForest account. Navigate to your Downloads tab on ThemeForest and find Newspaper. Click the Download button.
On your local computer extract the ZIP folder called Newspaper-tf. After extracting files you will open the folder called Newspaper-tf where you will find more folders (child-theme, documentation, licensing, plugins, psd).
Locate the Newspaper.zip in the Newspaper-tf folder (this is the theme you want to install).

good luck and welcome to the giant Newspaper family of users here — I’ve been lurking here since end of 2013 ! 🙂
