Hello josflachs,
First of all, you will have to download the theme packet from Envato Market because there you will find the latest version of the theme. With this, all the required plugins will come bundled (Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter) which you will have to install to the theme. For more information about how you can update the Visual Composer, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks.
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. It is most likely a plugin conflict. Test the shortcodes again afterwards and let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello hfrevolution,
Do you refer to Visual Composer plugin? Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3 with Visual Composer 4.12), clear all your caches and test it again. For more information about how you can install and use Visual Composer, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
The theme can’t do nothing in this regard, these issues are related with server’s response time. You can try also with a default wp-theme and check how it goes but I amuse that the results will be almost similar as the requests trough admin-ajax are made by Visual Composer.
Let us know how it goes and if you still have this issue please address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this and we will get back to your as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have tested the element again on my end but it displays fine. Do you maybe have posts that belong to multiple categories? A post will show up everywhere one of it;s categories is specified. if you have a post in both of the categories you mentioned, then it will show up even if you remove one category as it will still belong to the other.
Another possible cause can be the cache. Please make sure you clear all caches whether it;s a plugin, hosting cache or cdn server.
You can also try to disable all plugins except visual composer and clear caches again to rule out a plugin conflict.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Unfortunately the category pages cannot be customized in visual composer. Only posts/pages
Alternatively users have created pages to replace categories and then created 301 redirects between category pages and single pages.
Thank you!
Hello OnlineTushar,
Please provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer your social media. Also, please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.3 and Visual Composer 4.12) and also, please try to use only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
If you updated to newspaper 7.3, then you also need to update your visual composer to the latest version as it is required for the new update. Please use this guide to do it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Make sure that after the update your visual composer is version 4.12.
Thank you!

Hi,
Sorry but I cannot see any sliding elements or crooked layouts. Where exactly is this happening? The homepage does not even have any theme blocks on it.
Please try to restore the theme to it;s default code as you may have added some custom css that breaks the layout. Be careful when using visual composer and use this guide: forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hello,
Please make sure you use this guide for facebook sharing: https://forum.tagdiv.com/facebook-share/
Also please also test this without plugins. Disable all of them except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi
You can enable Visual Composer on posts from plugin’s settings: http://screencast.com/t/DHKVOXPfb7 Note that theme’s blocks were not designed to be displayed on posts so there might appear some issues with layout if you use them there.
Thanks!
Hello aberniz,
I suspect being a js error which interferes with the theme code and causes this type of issue. Try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your cases and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi, I’ve recently noticed that the images in my site’s front page is missing. More accurately, posts in grids are missing. I know that the images are not lost, because they appear in a single post page. The following is the screenshot of the page I’m talking about.

I’ve updated both the theme and the Visual Composer to the latest version (3.1 for the theme and 4.12 for the Visual Composer). What did I do wrong?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
It seems this issue is with regards to the Visual Composer plugin.
When I edit a Page, if the Visual Composer is in “Backend Editor” option I see my content, but when I change it to “Classic Mode” (where the Mobile Editor is available) the content is empty.
Of course, one option is going one by one (each of my Pages), and Copy & Paste my content from the “Backend Editor” to the “Classic Mode”.
This doesn’t happen with Posts, because in posts there’s no option to use the Visual Composer.
Dear Sir
What should I do if I want use Visual Composer in post ?
Hi,
I’m trying it locally, so I can not link to a webpage.
But I will try to explain it again. Now I have the following structure:
example 1: Home > Category > Subcategory > Article
But for some categories I need another sublevel, so I will get the following:
example 2: Home > Category > Subcategory > Subsubcategory > Article
(For both structures, the breadcrumb will show exactly the structure as it is)
For SEO the subsubcategory is a little to deep. So what I was trying to do is to skip the subcategory and subsubcategory, so I only will get:
Home > Category > Article
For the menu, I want to keep the original structure that I had before example 1 and example 2.
But because I skipped the Subcategory and subsubcategory, I created ‘Pages’ for this. The benefit of using Pages, I can use visual composer (and show the categories)
So the Menu will be:
Page > Category > Article (but litterly the structure is Category > Article
Until now there is no problem, because in the menu section you can link to pages, categorys, tags etc.
But the problem is that the breadcrumb never shows the ‘Page’ section of the menu. I hope it is a little more clearer.
Is there a way for ‘showing’ the Page in the breadcrumb (like in the menu) to show it in the breadcrumb.
Thanks for now
Thanks for your prompt response.
1. Im afraid that this is not a shortcode. Its a column made with visual composer.
Any way to include it there? Basically, we want a menu horizontal row, that would be responsive and will only contain text along with font awesome icons in front of them.
2. I understand. Basically, we want to have events listed there. We would arrange sorting via date posted manually, but we want to keep original post date visible. Some events are upcoming, some other past. We may post a past event today and an upcoming some days before the first one. This will confuse our visitors. Is there any way to add a custom post type or something so we can move everything up and down by altering a field? Something like priority from 1 to 999. Each number should be a position.
Hi
You can build your page and ass all desired content on it then add it in top menu like this: http://screencast.com/t/HwcXkBCcQh Also make sure that you enable top menu from theme panel > header: http://screencast.com/t/Sg2jEqCF
Please note that td-composer is still a beta version. Also it was mostly tested on Newspaper theme but works good enough with Newsmag too. However we can’t recommend it yet as a page-builder for a live site as there is still a lot of work to do until the plugin will work properly from any point of view. We release the plugin so users can test it and give us back their feedback.
Instead we hardly recommend the usage of Visual Composer plugin which is tested and works fine with our theme. Fore more details about plugin’s usage please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/
Let us know how it goes and if you need further assistance please provide more details about what you’re trying to do, also some screens pointing the desired result would help.
Thanks!
Hello crazydiver,
Unfortunately, the mobile theme has not been designed to recognize all the Visual Composer shortcode because this concept has been thought to have very basic structure, clear, fast and use for using.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please make sure you use the latest Visual Composer version provided with the theme 4.12 Andrei provided a guide how to update it.
If you still have issues with it please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide more details about your issue and wp-admin access so we can take a closer look.
Also paste a link to this conversation.
Thanks!
Hi
You need to edit the page with Visual Composer and delete this block using plugin’s page-builder. Please check our documentation for more details about hoe to setup your homepage and how to use Visual Composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
HI
1. This could be achieved by editing theme’s code. Basically you need to edit the file which generate the header style used and use do_shortcode function to echo out the shortcode which generate that custom menu. http://screencast.com/t/GfnuK6fiYw
2. By default the category page cannot be customized to much, the post order if fixed. However you can use a code snippet to generate a custom one using Visual Composer. Here is an example:
– create a new page and add on blocks which will display all desired posts for the custom category page. You can use all available filters for blocks.
– create a new category page, ex: custom category
– edit category.php file and add a contrition like here: http://screencast.com/t/gxZTyMpw
For ,ore detaisl about is_category function please check this link: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/is_category/
This is just a basic example but could be customized in many different ways. Note that you may need some additional css for page’s layout.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hello tagdiv,
I purchased your theme Newsmag from themeforest website. I want to have a demo page for Advertise link located at top-menu. Also, I wnated to know how can I build pages with the help of your td-composer because visual composer you guys provided do not have all the required options like page section, fancy title, and many more which I used in Jupiter theme. I used Jupiter theme for another project I’m doing for my tour agency.
Please help me build pages in my website: http://www.theaccelerator.in
We want to achieve two things:
1) We use visual composer in order to ‘extend’ our menu. We use a 6 vertical frames style and we include a text link on every frame. We copy/paste this part of visual composer to every page of the website. We were wondering if there is a way to include this part to the header part, so we dont have to paste it every single time. Is there such an era, that we can tell visual composer to always include this template before the start of content of the page? If no, which other options do we have (probably a presaved template, etc? )
2) we want to create a category that will contain posts, which we will be able to arrange the way we like without having their dates affected at all. Something like an up/down arrow for live sorting through wp-admin, that would change their sort in the frontend, would be good. Any ideas?
