Hello,
I have checked your site and saw that you have a js error in your console. Your tabs are not working currently. It’s probably a plugin conflict so try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
FOr the tab setup, you only need to create a tab element with 5 sections and add a big grid 5 to each section, then for each big grid, you need to specify a separate category from block settings. Please read this guide to learn how to filter posts inside blocks: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello planetcappe,
I caught this behavior as sometimes happens when the page is in loading process and then it becomes to normal. So, I suspect this happens to due from your untested plugins. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Until now, we do not have any bad reports in this regard. The theme was fully tested and seems to work as properly in this regard. If your problem is still there, please try to use the Force Regenerate with Regenerate Thumbnails to regenerate you thumbs, clear all your caches and test it again. Also, you should make a new clean install, without any plugins and customizations and check the results with a new clean theme version.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Raul007,
I have tested on my side, just created a smart list 6 with more images and captions and all of these seems to work as properly, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/G1y0oT9mPq2k I have inspected your page source and I noticed that you are using some untested plugins which can interfere with the theme and cause a lot of unknown issues. Please try to disable all your active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins. Also, you can try to update the theme to the latest version of it -> Newspaper 7.4.
Thanks for your understanding!
The visual composers backend editor appears on the screen of my mobile homepage(I use the mobile plugin) , right after the 3 big featured post.It disappears when I deactivate Jetpack, How do I solve that ? Beacuse I need both the Jetpack and the newspaper mobile plugin
That is not a safe method for my site. As I said, deactivating VC crashes the site because of the coding in functions.php. So there is no way to get to Step 2 when Step 1 crashes the site. I have to remove lines 205-207 from functionsphp, reupload the file, then reinstall VC, then put back the original functions.
What version of VC should we be using right now? I’m at 4.11.2, which is the most recent on Envato.

Hey party people, noticed when I paste a soundcloud element into post box, it breaks the layout on ipad portrait or if you slide in the width of a desktop view to simulate (mid-size breakpoint).
I guess this is loading “SoundCloud Embed Player (api-web)” via oEMBED in WP.
<iframe width="640" height="400" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?visual=true&url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F277848294&show_artwork=true&maxwidth=640&maxheight=960"></iframe>
e.g.,
http://californianewswire.com/new-comedy-cd-by-jackie-fabulous-released-by-uproar-entertainment/
I seem to recall in 1.71 or whatever I added the pesky generic iframe fix …
embed,iframe,object{max-width: 100%;}
And this still fixes it in 3.1
Might be useful to add this to CSS in future versions, at least for mid-size mobile breakpoint. I’ve added it to my stock style.css pre/post minification for our sites, so done and done.

On unrelated note, can you believe I’m going to need a [IV] badge on here pretty soon? 🙂
Hi sorry for late response. Regarding your queries-
1. Visual composer is installed and active.
2. Newspaper v 7.3 is used
3. Dnt know version of visual composer. It was inbuilt with the theme when I purchased.
4. I am only using newspaper 7.3 theme. I believe this is mobile friendly. Not installed any other plugin related to mobile theme.
5. Tried with disabling all the plugins except visual composer, still problem remains same.
Am I missing something? ?
Thanks
Page builder elements – The “Mobile theme” is designed for users who want to optimize the page content for mobile devices or they want to display fewer / different elements on mobiles. For optimal performance we removed the page builder (Visual Composer) dependency; this means you cannot use the page builder elements for the “Mobile theme” pages.
If you want to display the same elements on both mobile and desktop, don’t use the mobile theme, the main theme is already capable of this with it’s responsive design for mobiles.
Hi,
I experience several problems with Newspaper 7.3
I couldn’t find anyway to fix them, so here I am.
First, I use Big Grid 7 from visual composer for my homepage.
Looks good on the desktop, but not appear on mobile.
Second, I use post template style #8.
The header background looks good on the desktop but not appear on mobile.
In fact, the author name falls behind the social buttons so it’s not visible to the readers.
Third, the sidebar in posts not appear on mobile.
I installed the theme on 2 different websites and they both have the same problem.
I’m using Newspaper child theme.
Thanks in advance
You can simply delete it. If you do not want to use visual composer you will have to remove any pages that have been created with visual composer as they will not work anymore. If you do not know how to delete pages please refer to the wordpress documentation/forums for wordpress settings and features.
If you want to change the meta description for the homepage you can use seo yoast to do it. Please read this topic:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-meta-description-to-homepage-using-yoast/
Thank you!
Hello pauldm,
The Say Way demo has not an available template which may be selected from Visual Composer. If you want to have a Say What demo layout, the only way is to install that demo according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/installing-demos/ Also, as homepage, the say what demo uses the pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination as page template and the page builder content you can try the following shortcode -> http://pastebin.com/0paUP2Et
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
I ran a few tests with this widget and it works as expected: http://screencast.com/t/6qr6i64lo8T
Are you sure you have the right sidebar selected on your post?
If this is not the case, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know if you still have trouble with this.
Thank you!
Hello kurtnimmo,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using the pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination as page template. So, this type of page template displays your page builder content (edited by Visual Composer) at the first part and in the second part, you will bring the Latest Articles modules with a right sidebar, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/0uWQrJJQrat If you want to display the sidebar in your page builder content, you will have to use 2/3+1/3 as layout, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/HFufztML8pc For more information about how you can use the Visual Composer plugin, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!
Hi there, I just inherited the task of web editor for a university publication and I’m working on updating the out-of-date site. I want to upgrade from Newspaper 4 to the latest version. I’ve seen the documentation that lists the three ways to do this. Whenever I attempt to upgrade through WordPress (clicking the ‘update script’ under the “newspaper’ menu heading) it starts, but gives an error message:
“Import script started:
> Newspaper 4 settings not found in database! td_008 – not found
> Quiting!”
Also, I tried to do it using the Envato Market method. I have successfully acquired a token ID. When I click the ‘add item’ option it asks me to input the token and item ID. I use the unique string of letters and numbers that Envato gave me and the item ID 5489609 for the Newspaper theme, as per the documentation. However it says that something is entered incorrectly and I can’t add an item.
I need to update the theme ASAP because most of the interface is broken. The visual composer doesn’t work, the interface crashes almost every time I try to navigate between sections (Pages -> Posts, for example) and uploading media often crashes the browser. All plugins are updated to their current version and WordPress is as well.
Thanks,
-Matt
Hi,
Well it does slow down the site that’s for sure but this depends on how may elements you use. Everything you add extra every plugin every block every animation every image slows down the site a tiny bit. All together if there are many complex elements will result in slow loading sites. Not using visual composer will result in a faster website but you will be better off optimizing your site rather than not using the theme blocks and grids. You will get better speeds just by optimizing your site rather than just removing VC. Try to optimize your webste using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Test your site with google page speed and gtmetrix beforehand, and then test after the optimization. After you increased your speed try to simply disable visual composer and then test again to see how much the speed increases and if it;s worth it.
Thank you!
Hi
Please use this guide to set your homepage:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
you can use visual composer to create your own page layout and then set is as a homepage.
Thank you!
In my all posts I don’t need to use visual composer, but its same time I use it for only home page custom settings, and I think this is the heavy plugin, which we only use for a homepage, does it make sense ?
I think it slows the site speeds, that’s why I wanna remove the plugin
and can you show me a demo or screenshot of the homepage without the visual composer? so that I can test on it by removing VC.
Thanks 🙂
Modules and blocks only work with visual composer. No visual composer means no modules and blocks. On pages you will not be able to use theme. You can use modules on category templates but that;s about it. If you want to build a custom homepage with block elements, you will need visual composer. If you select a blog style homepage, you can change the module used by the theme to display the articles but you cannot customize anything beyond that.It will be just likie a category page. You can choose the article display and the sidebar, but no custom positioning or layouts without visual composer. Here is where you will find the setting: http://screencast.com/t/pF8kD3Ci
Thank you!
Hello,
We have no such reports until now. Our blocks pull information from the post itself including the publish date.
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the dates again. Let us know if you still have issues with dates and if you do,please provide a link to your site so we can inspect it.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the mobile theme again.

Thank you!
Hello gubedel,
Please pay attention because I suppose that you do not understand our mobile theme concept. For your first request, if you want to have the same Homepage Block to your mobile mode, you will not have Mobile Theme installed and the layout in mobile mode for this type of block should look like this -> http://screencast.com/t/yW1OIaZ0uT So if you want to bring those there Big Gird in Mobile mode, you should enable the Mobile Theme plugin and you should have minimum 3 posts in Featured category, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/pvS8FE2Vh If the mobile theme is active, the mobile editor can be found at the very bottom of the editor file in Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/dYXHEhLqmU
Also, you should reading again our documentation in this regard, because there was very good explained this concept.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
If your homepage is a blog list set like so in the wp settings: http://screencast.com/t/MqTmYurq then you can control the number of posts to display from the same screen. If you have a custom page set created in visual composer, then you need to use the block settings and set the number of posts you want displayed in each block: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cnd files if you use it. The try to re-save the permalinks. Please also test this on a WP default theme as our theme does not control the permalinks, but rather wordpress.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
