In the past i used the visual composer to add blocks. At the moment i cant do that anymore. I click at add new element and then i click add the block i prefer. But nothing happens.
Can you help me?
Dear all,
I’ve read on your support forum that Mobile theme plugin doesn’t support Visual Composer due to simplicity, page loading speed etc. That also resolves in not rendered shortcodes which are registered in VC. I also tried to use WP default shortcodes, but with the same result.
Is there any way to use any shortcodes on Mobile theme? Whole point of shortcodes is to easy reuse an useful snippet anywhere on the site, in unlimited number of places.
Kindly waiting for your reply, and help 🙂
Thank you.
Cheers,
Nemanja.
Dear Forum,
I have my own license for Visual Composer 5.0.
Can I enter my own license number into the Visual Composer in order to use the latest version with Newspaper 7? Or will this cause havoc with the Newspaper 7 install?
Should I wait for a Newspaper 7 update with the Visual Composer 5.0 update included?
Right now, my Visual Composer inside the WordPress dashboard is showing the version active of 4.12. This version seems kinda old.
Please advise.
Sincerely,
Jim Gonzalez
The mobile option is not working correctly for me. The images are not appearing on any of the pages. Could you help me with this.
I updated the Visual Composer, but it is still flagging me to update the Visual Composer. Could that be that be the reason. If so, can you send me the updated version of Visual Composer because the one I have seems to be not working.
Thanks in advance
Hello campagnuolo,
Unfortunately, the latest version of Visual Composer is not yet tested with our theme and you can’t use it with our theme, at the moment, sorry! Notice that this plugin should have to be adjusted and verified before being released. Our developers work hard in this regard and we will release that version in our near future updates.
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
This sounds like a plugin conflict to me. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and rest cdn files if you use it. Also try to re-save permalinks.
If you still have trouble with this please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hi,
This means you are using an old version of visual composer and you should also update the plugin as your version is no longer supported. Please use this guide to update VC as well: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
(If you read the first guide properly you would have seen that it specifies this as well: http://screencast.com/t/3yi2K1GuD9)
Thank you!
Thank you, Bogdan and Chris for the reply.
I use following ad networks or tools for tracking.
1. Google Analytics
2. Tynt
3. Google Adsense
4. Content.ad
Though none of these “redirecting files” are related to these tools or networks but for precautions, I checked by disabling each of these from my site and turned off all ad modules.
Cleared the cache, turned off the CloudFlare after purging everything and also cleared the cache from the server side.
Even after doing all these things. I am still getting these files as the redirect chain.
Though I am aware that Pippio.com is supposed to be a ad network and redirects to https://arbor.io/, Linksynergy redirects to http://marketing.rakuten.com/affiliate-marketing and adbrn.com is http://www.adbrain.com which is also an ad network.
But I have never signed up or used any of these ad networks ever on my site. Also, a simple Google search shows that pippio , linksynergy and adbrn.com are mass reported as malware for computer.
For example: http://www.sitealyzer.net/en/p/sb/remove-p.adbrn.com/
http://www.exterminate-it.com/malpedia/remove-linksynergy-com
I have also scanned my WordPress with Anti-malware plugin and in the result, it shows some files from Visual composer and Contacts form 7 plugin as a potential threat which I hope is a false positive.
Kindly see if you can show me the right direction to look for.
Thank you.
Hello
I don`t have widgetised sidebar in visual composer as an element to choose, I am using current version and theme also 7.5
Or is the only way still to make it in 2 rows yourself? Because I just want the default sidebar again there.
Thank you
Hi Support,
We used a previous version of the theme that worked well with Theia Post Slider. We have now updated the theme and the slider has broken.
We have extended support specifically for this problem. Is there a way that you can assist as it previously worked with Newsmag, but now after the upgrade it is broken.
I have gone through the usual plugin disabling etc. Only when the theme is changed to the default theme does the slider work again. The test site is here: http://staging2016.entrepreneurmag.co.za/advice/personal-improvement/setting-and-achieving-goals/inspiration-from-7-legendary-business-titans
Only slider and Visual Composer plugins are active so some things might look funny. It seems like the theme is interfering with the navigation.
Regards
Johan
Hello,
Our theme does not have such a functionality. The only settings available for category pages are found in the theme panel-> category section. Anything beyond that will have to be custom made. If you want to use visual composer and create custom category pages you can simply redirect your categories to pages created in visual composer using 301 redirects: http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/beginners-guide-to-creating-redirects-in-wordpress/
Thank you!
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except Visual Composer, clear all the caches and check again if the issue is still there. Also disable any css/js minifications and purge your files if you use CDN.
Let us know how it goes and if the issue persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and ftp access so we can take a closer look. Paste a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thanks!
Chris,
With pages you can use the Visual Editor which sort of solves the page problem, but is there a way to manually control the breadcrumbs?
Other idea is with the categories pages is there a way to stop it using multiple pages and be one page with pagination (click on button to make list longer).

Hello,
1. We do not have any reports of any slow down with our theme. We have lots of installs using the current version of the theme and we have no such reports from our users until now, so I think it;s safe to say that it is something on your end that is causing the issue. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test again.
Also make sure you increase your system status parameters like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Let us know if you still have trouble with the admin panel
2. This is a wodpress issue that started from the latest update. WordPress will not allow you top delete any theme from the WP dashboard. You will have to use ftp. It’s a wordpress bug, not a theme bug.
Thank you!
Hello songhy,
Please ensure that you have properly installed the theme, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Make sure that you are using the latest version of the theme which comes bundled ith the latest version of required plugins. If you are using some untested ones, try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer and install only the plugins that come bundled wit the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Also, after installing the theme, you should check your system status to have the right value for all parameters in order to achieve best results, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Clear all your caches and check the results.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,

Hello soithong,
Make sure if you are suing the latest version of the theme and only the version of Visual Composer which come bundled with the theme packet. I recommend you doing a new clean install from scratch and install only required plugins, clear all your caches and check the results. You should update the theme and the plugins only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard in order to bring best results. For more information in this regard, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-install-via-ftp/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Notice that the Visual Composer is fully tested and compatible with the theme and until now we do not have any bad reports in this regard.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello,
The news ticker as a any other block element in visual composer must be added on each page as it’s not a widget. It is a block element. If you want it on pages you have to add it in. There is a workaround if you truly want to place it, but you will need to edit the theme files for that. The theme has no such setting.
You can filter the news ticker the way you want to and then place the shortcode in a do_shortcode function like so :
Your shortcode could look different based on your settings.
Then you can add the above function in the page template files. There are 3 page templates. Add the function in the one you use on your pages or all 3 if you use all of them

Thank you!
Hello,
The image shows a big grid element you can add on your site in visual composer. You can find the element in the visual composer elements list when editing a page. It is called big grid 1: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
As for the spacing above it, you can use this css to remove it:
.home .td-main-page-wrap{
padding-top:0!important;
}
Add the code in the theme panel->custom css box
Thank you!
Chris,
I will give you an example of what I am trying to do.
I would prefer to have the dedicated Solar System page:
http://www.aerospaceguide.net/solar_system/index.html
Because I have to use categories and want to use breadcrumbs I have to go the categories method.
I think users would prefer to go to a main page thats summarises the info than going through pages trying to find the main Solar System info page.
MY ORIGINAL WEBSITE
My original website was made in Front Page and the above link was the main Solar System page whereas now I have been forced to use Categories in order to use the Breadcrumb.
If you click on the breadcrumb its takes you to Solar System Categories page:
http://www.aerospaceguide.net/category/solar-system
ONE SOLUTION
I thought of using a redirect so when a person goes to Solar System categories it takes you to the full Solar System page, but unfortunately the breadcrumbs would show the Solar System Categories page and not the dedicated Solar System page.
If Tagdiv implemented the Visual Editor in Categories – it would solve this problem and would make super power websites with Categories / Sections which simply aren’t just blog pages.
BREAD CRUMB PROBLEM
This problem gets worse when I say want to use Breadcrumbs from the Dwarf Planet Pluto, but I have omitted doing it because I can’t manually create breadcrumbs in WordPress.
http://www.aerospaceguide.net/planet/planetpluto.html
I tried to get around the problem by using a text link in the content. Its a solution, but its easier if the breadcrumb was available for it.

Vic
Hello iisnet,
Please try to use the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area. It happens due to the Separator element from Visual Composer which has width:100%.
@media(max-width:767px){
.vc_separator .vc_sep_holder .vc_sep_line {
width: 99%!important;
}
}
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer clear cache and rest cdn files if you use it. You seem to have a plugin conflict going on that affects the menu. Please also check for any customization and switch to the main theme if you use a child theme to rule out any custom code from there.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi,
The Visual Composer plugin was initially designed as a pagebuilder. You can use it also on post if you really want this as we have made some tests and we have fixed from css problems so it should work. But I personally don’t recommend this as for example you may not use some features like inline ad also the tagdiv gallery was designed more for post content,the shortcodes will appear on excerpts and so on.
Thanks!
Hi,
When you create a page without using the Visual Composer pagebuilder, the page title will appear in frontend even if you use the default page template. You can use this custom css to hide it – http://screencast.com/t/Fbjn3JIe7o
.page-id-798 .td-page-header {
display: none;
}
.page-id-798 .td-page-content h2:first-child {
margin-top: 0px;
}
Hope this helps!
