Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. If you have wordfence please put the firewall in learning mode.
Let us know if you still have trouble with this.
Thank you!
Hello,
The easier way to do it is with do_shortcode. THe news ticker is a rendered visual composer shortcode so using the function directly in the post template files is easier.
you cna set up your ticker the way you want it on a dummy page like so: http://screencast.com/t/iIKBu50mv and set all of it;s options.
The you can use the shortcode generated in classic mode and text mode: http://screencast.com/t/yLkdt8nsfK
Then you can place a do_shortcode function on each post template and add the shortcode inside: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_trending_now style="style2" header_text_color="#dd3333" header_color="#1e73be" category_id="1048" sort="random_posts" limit="20" offset="2"]'); ?>
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Hello bvanrij,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3) and also, the latest version of required plugins (Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter 4.1). This update should be made only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. If you are using some untested plugins, please try to delete all of them and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. So, if your problem is still there after this advice, you should try to make a new clean install from scratch and then check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hello suthemeforest,
Indeed, the caption of images is not appearing using the Carousel from Visual Composer. I have added to our list of fixes, the developers will make several investigations in this regard and we will try to fix that in next future updates.
Thanks for your understanding!

i have update wordpress and then homepage and visual composer have a problem i cant use visual to change my homepage and my homepage sidebar is dissapered
Hi, just installed the theme on our staging/development server. Now, it asks for activation. If I activate, would I still be able to use the theme when I move it to the production server? They are all technically on the same server, just different WP instances on different subdomains pointing to different DBs (e.g. stg.mydomain.com and http://www.mydomain.com). How do other people here do it? There is no way I can just deploy the theme and work on the production WP instance.
Also, I cannot seem to install the js composer right from the theme settings menu. I have to manually upload the zip file I got from themeforest because of SSL certificate issues. We are on a shared server and the certificate is not for our domain. After I upload, it asked for activation, too. Do we have to pay extra for the visual composer? I thought it is part of the theme?
Thank you.
So its not possible to have a posts loop added by the visual composer manually. Why are we forced to use posts loop after the visual composer user-added components ? All I want is to be able to place things below posts loop – this is not a custom development need, its a basic one –
Hello,
If you want to create a new page you have to create a new page from the wp settings: http://screencast.com/t/tRnP9QUHn Then you can edit the page in visual composer. You can either create your own layout or use one of the predefined templates. This video should help:
After you finished creating your page you can set it as a homepage from here: http://screencast.com/t/SP9A0SZ6q41
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches, purge cdn files if you’re using then testy the site again.
Also did you used Newspaper theme before? This error is related with pot template 11 which is not available on Newsmag theme. If you used Newspaper and for some posts you have set post template 11 the theme will return an error. Try to edit the post and set for it a post template available on Nessmag theme.
Thanks!
Hello Chandan Kumar Singh,
Please notice that the Visual Composer is not fully tested for their using on posts but only for pages and that’s why we do not recommend to use it for post pages. So, if you want to use the VC for posts, please notice that you will have to enable it from general settings like this -> http://screencast.com/t/WldjuASAR8h and then when you create/edit the post page you can add Visual Composer elements. Please notice that if you are using the VC on posts it could be possible to need some additional adjustments from CSS for better results which involve custom work. So, if you are not aware of them, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello themesic,
By default, the theme uses the pagebuilder+latest articels+pagination template, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/uZwQrihcY If you want to add some text to the very bottom of the page, under the pagination from latest articles, please notice that you will have to use the do_shortcode method and add it in the page-pagebuilder-latest.php core file. First of all, you will have to create your shortcode from Visual Composer editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/07OI4ByF6q -> http://screencast.com/t/AziZGQihBS
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I am text block. Click edit button to change this text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
This snippet of the code should be placed here -> http://screencast.com/t/Rh36Bxkb and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/3Y9KTRHttw
Hope this helps!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details.
Thanks.
Hello,
The option comes from the theme, not external plugins. The option should be there like so: http://screencast.com/t/GmvlLXQl7 If for some reason the option is missing, It could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thank you!
Hello Fabian.
Our theme elements were not meant to be displayed full with. Our theme uses a fixed width for it;s content and all elements depend on this fixed width to display properly. Changing the width through visual composer is not recommended. Please do not use stretch row and content on the theme blocks and grids. It works with visual composer elements but not with theme specific elements.
Thank you!
Hello,
After you update your theme, please make sure you clear all caches and reset cdn files if you use it. Sometimes the cache loads the old files until it gets cleared and cause unexpected issues. Also newspaper 7.3 requires the new version of visual composer (4.12) so please also update your plugin by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi Catalin.
Thanks for your answer but im again confused.
I want to use it on pages, not posts.
I want to have a row added to visual composer and make sure that it is being displayed after posts’ loop of the front page, at the bottom.
But no matter of what I add to the bottom of visual composer, posts loop is being displayed always after its content, on the frontpage.
Let me tell you a scenario:
Install a fresh copy of WP and install the theme along with its dummy content. Frontpage has now some imported content. Lets go to the frontpage and add a new row with some text, at the very end, after all other elements.
You save and refresh and your new row is there, but it appears before posts’ loop.
Hello themesic,
Unfortunately, the Visual Composer is not fully tested with the posts but only for pages but if you want to use it when you create some posts you will have to enable this plugin and for posts from the panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/tx6AwdS1NfjN Using the Visual Composer for posts you can add what you want on your site but please notice that it is possible to require some adjustments using the CSS code for better results. So, if you are not aware of the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide customization services at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
OK, I have tried to update the plugin; I have updated the theme, but I still don’t have version 4.12. Where is the zip file with the visual composer plugin so I can install it? So confused and I have read the instructions, but I get stuck where it says:
‘4. Select the Newspaper\includes\plugins\js_composer.zip file, press Open’
Where is this???
Hello,
Tabs are NOT DEPRECATED. The deprecated tabs share the same name with the new tabs visual composer added. The ones you see in the deprecated list are different than the ones you see in the all elements tab. The short codes are different as well for the elements:
Simply do not use the tabs from the deprecated section. Use the ones in the all section: http://screencast.com/t/3HOiFZI9fQj
It’s confusing I know, but the deprecated elements will be removed and only the current ones will remain.
It’s way easier than modifying the block.
Thanks.
Hello,
Please read this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
The mobile theme needs content to be added in the mobile editor to create mobile versions of your pages without the use if visual composer.
This is an optional plugin and the theme is responsive without it so if you do not like the plugin, you can simply deactivate it from the plugins section of wp.
Thank you!
Hello,
This depends on how the homepage gets it;s pagination. In our theme you can paginate any block at will. I assume though you use the pagebuilder + latest articles page template. You can deactivate the latest articles element by changing the page template: http://screencast.com/t/Zn816Klky9
If you still want the latest articles section but we no pagination you can use a visual composer block instead and not have it paginated.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello okgo87,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using an old version of Newspaper (6.7). Please try to update the theme to the latest version of it (Newspaper 7.3) if you want to achieve best results with it. (keep up with our latest updates). Also, 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 the conflicting plugins.
For more information about theme update, please consult our documentation and you will have to do the update via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard, according on our recommendation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello rodrigocarlos,
Please notice that you do not need any licenses for Visual Composer because this plugin is a built-in plugin and the licence of it will come bundled with our theme. If you want to have the latest version of it (4.12) you will have to download the latest version of the theme which is available on Theme Forest (Newspaper 7.3). With the latest version will come bundled all the required plugins in the latest version of them.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello rodrigocarlos,
I have checked some URLs from your website and I saw that some are posted on Facebook and others do not, as an example this one -> http://proddigital.com.br/play/esportes-fitness/q48/como-reduzir-6-cm-de-barriga-em-apenas-40-dias/
Please notice that our theme does not have any influence for your posts when these will should display on Facebook. The theme only takes the link for your posts and puts it on Facebook….For more information about this process, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/facebook-share/
Another thing that could cause this type of issue should be your untested plugins or your additional customizations if you have something like that. 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 the conflicting plugins. Also, if your problem will still persist, you can try to make a new clean install from scratch and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme.
Please notice that our theme is fully tested with Facebook and as you can see in our demo preview, the Sharing on Facebook work as propelry -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/15-grooming-techniques-every-man-needs-to-know/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi there!
I’m trying to configure my page with VC and currently struggling with a little problem.
I want to display the Apple & Android section side by side right after Block 1.
I do not want to use Tabs because they are deprecated.
Is there a simple solution to solve this problem?
I tried to change the layout containing Block 1 to the three column section but then also the Block 1 is separated which is not wanted.
Greetings from Austria,
Fabian
