Hello,
There are actually 2 weather widgets. The first one is in the top bar. That one does not use the user location. it only shows the location you add in the back-end.
If you add the weather widget in the sidebar or on a page in visual composer there will be an option to detect the location or type it in on chrome (chrome does not allow the location service to run for the moment so we added a filed to type the location on the front-end): http://screencast.com/t/q0FHKFuvXkI
Thank you!
Hello ABilgen,
Please notice that you can use the shortcode which is generated for each block in Visual Composer and place it everywhere you want in your post article, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/CXZ9zth19 -> http://screencast.com/t/FY2TdUKaL -> http://screencast.com/t/GyDsxUzKTP and the result -> http://screencast.com/t/Of3qsGGCcPR
Hope this helps!
Thanks.
Hello Yucca,
You can edit the theme template files that correspond to each post style you use on your site and use a do_shortcode function like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_5 custom_title="Block title2" limit="3"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
http://screencast.com/t/2QKMvATQ2jY
You can get the shortcodes for any block from visual composer if you access the classic mode and text mode in the mce editor: http://screencast.com/t/c8HfwvZt
Thank you!
How do I get the Newspaper theme to work on a full blown site without messing anything up.
I was previously using Newspaper 6 on my site before I switched to another theme, after the switch which I used for some time, I discovered that Newspaper is still the best and tried switching back but when I tried to install one of the predefined layouts for the homepage, the visual composer tab kept on loading for ever.
How do I get this theme to work and how do I update to the current version without messing anything up?
Many thanks in advance
Hello mayuxi,
First of all, please ensure that our new version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3) is fully tested and still brings the most results. So, please try to make a full backup being safe. Then, try to download the latest version of the theme from Envato Market, clear all your old version of the theme and install the new one using the FTP because this is the surest method in this case -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/. Also, please install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme (Visual Composer 4.12, Social Counter 4.1), clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and check the results. If you are using the Child Theme, you will have to use the latest version of it and also, you can try to rule the theme only using the main theme, without child theme and see hoe it will work. You can make a new clean install from scratch and install the theme according to our documentation and you will see that the theme will work as properly.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
Usually this issue is caused by cache or cdn. Please make sure that you update the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual; Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then test the site again.
Note that we didn’t W3 Total Cache with the theme and we can’t guarantee that it will work fine. As a cache plugin we recommend WP Super Cache with this configuration: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
HI
I am not sure why this happens but it could be a conflict caused by some plugin or caches. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test the site again. Also check if the toolbar is enabled on user profile: http://screencast.com/t/sxK901mpba4
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!
my blog looks good on a pc, the problem is when I try to open an article (post) I made with visual composer and the problem is just when you try to open in a mobile phone.
this is the error
td_api_base::mark_used_on_page : a component with the ID: td_remote_cache is not set.
/home/fanatico/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_api.php
wp booster error:
Missing parameter: ‘file’
/home/fanatico/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_autoload_classes.php
I repeat I am not a Professional, I don´t know how to do the ftp way
Hi,
Yes, it is lighter but there is also a revers for this. Like I said above there are not so many options, it comes with predefined homepage, it doesn’t have custom ad spots and so on..
Unfortunately if you want to have more ads in the post content and you want to use the mobile theme plugin you will need to paste the ad code directly in the Visual Editor as the shortcode will not work, sorry!
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you use the mobile theme plugin? In this case it will not render the custom ad in post content.
Try to disable the mobile theme plugin and see if it appears. To have the same content also on mobile devices like on desktop you will need to disable the mobile theme plugin which is optional and it comes with its own templates, ads..
The Mobile Theme plugin is practically a lighter theme without so many options also it was no designed for Visual Composer pagebuilder and also it may not render shortcodes.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and purge your files if you use CDN. I suspect that a plugin conflicts with the theme javascript.
Let us know how it goes and if the issue persist please provide also a link where you have this issue.
Thanks!
Hello jenrique87,
Please ensure that you have right installed the theme via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. First of all, please remove the old version of the theme and then install it according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ If you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN files and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme and rule out any conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi
1. You ca use do_shortcode() function in search.php file: http://screencast.com/t/I72dALrU0GJ and pass it as parameter ad’s box shortcode from Visual Composer
2. When you’re using sidebar on posts the content have a width by 680px and the ad can’t be higher then that value. The only way is to not use sidebar and the ad will be displayed at 720px.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can place the ad code directly in the post ifg you like or use a simple visual composer ad box. Here is how:
1) create a deummy page
2) place an ad box element on it
3) set a specific ad spot from the ad box setings
4) enter classic mode and text mode from the mce editor
5)copy that shortcode in the post content
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello shiokcut,
The Social Media Block can be added/delete from your Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/jUetQoPs2 So, if you want to have the similar layout for Social Counter, please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3) with the latest version of Social Counter (4.1) because this version of plugin has been customized with these styles -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/social-counter-widget/
Thanks for your understanding!
HI
I am not aware what subscription service you’re using and I can’t say for sure why is not working. We did not tested any subscription plugin with our theme and we can’t make any recommendation in this regard. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and the one used fro subscription then test it again. Also you can try a different plugin. Here I’ve found some information which may help you in this regard: http://winningwp.com/best-email-subscription-popup-plugins-for-wordpress/
Thanks!
Hello,
If you use version 7.3 then you need to update your visual composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ and then also update the social counter by disabling and deleting files for your current plugin and installing it again from the main theme package you downloaded from envato (version 7.3)
Then use this guide to set up the counter: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Thank you!
Hello GlanceCompany,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option for this for the posts, but only for the pages if you are using the Visual Composer. So, please notice that you can try to use the do_shortcode method, after you create the button from your Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Neag3pRJ From there you can customize your button as you like and then, to see the shortcode for it, you will have to switch the Visual Composer to the classic mode, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/rCjQdy5P0RRA In this case, the snippet of the code which you will have to add to your core file, is that ->
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title="Push the button" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ro%2F|||"][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>
So, please notice that this type of code should added in the coresponding loop single on what post template you are using. For my example, I just use the post template style 1 and the code will have to be added in loop-single-1.php, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ePJyJxass4 and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/fc0uQsBVfW0
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
The author box link should link to the author page, not the homepage. You seem to have a redirect in place so please either check for any redirect rules you might have set or try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thank you!
Hello,
This probably means you have an incompatible plugin that is periodically causing the issue. Please deactivate all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the featured image again. Also pleas make sure you only use tested plugins as much as possible.
Here is a list of tested plugins: http://screencast.com/t/9yDHBXAOPTBt
Thank you!
Hello,
The widgets area is destined for the sidebar and as the mobile theme has no sidebars, there is no way of having widgets on the mobile theme. Sorry. Please read this guide fore more info on the mobile theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
If you refer to widgets inside pages (visual composer elements) then you cannot use visual composer with the mobile theme.
Thank you!
Hello,
Maybe you have automatic updates on so wordpress or a plugin got updated automatically and a conflict created itself. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the gallery again.\
Thank you!
Hi
@rida in order to have an image displayed on module you have to set a featured image for your posts in post editor: http://screencast.com/t/XjkIPaD3apt8 To disply recent posts on a page you can use theme’s blocks and choose in block’s filters latest post. For more details please check this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ You can also use page builder+latest articles as page template: http://screencast.com/t/Cgwv9mQ2Go
Please refer to our documentation for more details about how to use Visual Composer and how to setup the homepage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-page-templates/- https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ You can also check our youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUdVeZ1pbuc&list=PL6CsDkMaejhpWFcFNOIDfdp5nIT0NbUbj

Hi
You could use a page mega-menu and make some custom menus there, as we did in this example from our demo: http://screencast.com/t/QpIB4p9G Please check this link for more details about mega menu pages: https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-menu/ Basically all content added with Visual Composer will be displayed in mega menu. You can use wordpress custom menu widget which is available in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/42xQR16E
Thanks!
