Hello,
As newspaper got updated to version 7.3 we need to announce that it will not be backwards compatible with older versions of Visual Composer. In order to use version 7.3 of Newspaper, you need to have version 4.12+ of Visual Composer. If you use an older version of the plugin, after updating your theme please use this guide to update Visual Composer as well: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you for your understanding!
and only this modifications:
– in the index.php we put this snippet because we get errors “PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header()…. on line 6”:
if (function_exists('get_header')) {
get_header();
}else{
/* Redirect browser */
header("Location: http://theme.com/ ");
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
};
– and in htaccess:

Hello nairolf2013,
First of all, please try to make a new clean install, without any untested 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 and check the results. Please notice that this issue is not theme related and if your problem is still there after these, you will have to find some online solutions or you can contact the WordPress stuff because they should be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
The sidebar was not added to the mobile theme so that is a default behavior of the theme. The menu on the other hand should work so please disable all plugins except visual composer and the mobile theme, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test the mobile menu again.
let us know if you still have trouble with the menu.
Thank you!
Hello ufosonearth,
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 7.2 with Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter 4.1) and try to use it without any untested plugins which might interact with the theme and create a lot of unknown issues.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi,
Unfortunately the page builder does not allow you to add classes on a specific title. You can only add an extra class to the row in visual composer and use it to target the block title by using your browser inspector: https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
Thank you!
Hello AndreBoni,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using an older version of our theme. Please try to update it to the latest version of it, Newspaper 7.2 with Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter 4.1 via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Clear all your caches and then test it again and see how it will work. For more information about theme update, please consult the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
As I see from your images you use a big grid inside a tab element. You do not need to change the section id from the tabs settings to filter the block .You do it from block settings. Tabs are simple containers for other content. You cannot make them lead to specific categories. I’m still not sure exactly how you want it. Sorry if I’m not getting this right. You want to make the tabs a link so when you click on the fashion or sports tab to lead to a category? Won’t this make the tab’s content unavailable for the user? The section ID cannot be made into a link as the section ID is added automatically by visual composer and it cannot accept any other parameters.
Let me know if I did not get this right and provide more details so we can better understand how to help.
Thank you!
Hello bumpirides,
Please ensure that you have downloaded the latest version of the theme which has included all the required files and required plugins. -> Newspaper 7.2 and Visual Composer 4.12 and Social Counter 4.1. Please notice that the Visual Composer is part of our theme and the license of it come bundled with the theme packet and you will not have to buy any license for it. The update of the theme has been made only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. For more information about this, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Frydenborg,
Please notice that you can use the Tabs element from Visual Composer in your Widgets area if you are using the shortcode which is generated from VC and add it to your Text Block in Widget, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/xFGfZIbcB but please notice that it is possible to some additional customizations using the CSS for a better look.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
please try disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. If the problem is not fixed this way, please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your site and wp-admin so we can login and investigate this issue.
Please also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please make sure you have the latest version of the social counter and the latest version of the theme. FIrst update your theme by using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ then update your plugins social counter and visual composer using this method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
After you do so, please switch users for these elements and try a different public one like ‘cocacola’ for example to see if the info is being pulled. Then if the info is there switch back to your own id’s
Let us know how it goes
Thank you!
Hello gsmadvert,
Actually, if you want to use the ‘Homepage post’ element from Visual Composer to your category page, please notice that you will have to use the do_shortcode method in order to achieve as you wish. First of all, you will have to create the shortcode using the Visual Composer editor, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/7lbVJ3Fm2Sz -> http://screencast.com/t/VM5LKmMUv0i -> http://screencast.com/t/LO6nrg2cHM1o and the snippet of the code which has to be added in the corresponding category post style used by you are the following code ->
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_homepage_full_1]'); ?>
For example, if you are using the category top posts style 1, you will have to add this code in td_category_top_style_1.PHP, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/txOSy4wD and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/ewi0BhnetwL
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
It seems to work fine on our end: http://screencast.com/t/4xBeM6zUXqM
Please test our demo version as well and see if the problem is still there: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-the-new-screen-savers-the-show-that-launched-video-into-the-stratosphere/
Your site provides the error, yes, which means there is something on your side that is affecting it. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Also if you have any custom code added, restore the theme to it;s default values. If you use a child theme, please activate the main theme and test again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please update your theme to the latest version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update your plugins including visual composer, rev slider if you use it, and the social counter plugin. This method should help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please note that newspaper 7 comes with an optional mobile theme plugin that if used changes the style of the mobile version of your site. You can find more details about this here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Also please note that visual composer and rev slider added registration messages in the newer version that must be ignored as the free versions cannot be registered.
You can see the new mobile menu with login options here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Thank you!
Hello all,
Yes, the js-composer is the same as wp bakery Visual Composer and regarding on Revolution Slider you will have to install the Revolution Slider 5 because the other one is the Revolution Slider 4 and it is too old, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Unfortunately there is no easy way of getting the latest articles at the top of the content. But since visual composer is a page builder, you can pretty much chose a theme block and name it latest articles and place it at the top of the page (use another page template not the latest articles one) http://screencast.com/t/V5GxC4mN
Thank you!
And what are these social icons? are they the ones from our theme? are they other plugins? We do not get these errors on our end so we cannot recreate this issue and thus, we cannot know where they come from. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. Then test again and see if you still get 404 errors.
Thank you!
Hi,
you need to press the back-end editor in order to get the visual composer working. If you use the mobile theme you will see a white part first but you need to scroll down a bit as that white part is the mobile editor.
Thank you!
Hello innovacomp,
First of all, please sorry for the delay but please notice that here you can see our Support Hours -> http://screencast.com/t/K1pbx14Wi and also, we answer on the forum from oldest to newest, respecting our program.
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using the accordion feature for Nosotros page, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Q1BzPxx3M3y -> I assume that you are referring to this accordion, right? The accordion is just Visual Composer element and depends on what type of elements you will add in it. In our case, you have added a Text Block with Title…So, if you want to change the font family and font size for this, please notice that you can change it from Theme panel->Theme Fonts for Body, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/aspT0pzIGi In the future, if you will use some blocks in accordion, please notice that you will have to change the values for fonts and sizes from Blocks/Modules section, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Eh7GO7KxciG8 For more information about theme fonts, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/font-customization/
Please keep in mind that we are glad to help our customers but please notice that we have a program regarding on support service and also please try to change your negative rating (1 star) because we will help you in issues related to the theme.
Thanks for your understanding!

Jetpack by WordPress.com (running only protect and photon) – I’ve tried disabling and enabling photon countless times to see if it’s because of it, it is not.
My head hurts. What I expected to be an easy extract and install press of a button turned out to be hours of testing to see what the hell is wrong.
Already did some search on your forums before making this post. If you’ll recommend me to turn off image loading animation effect(lazy loading) won’t cut it for me as it was the major point that sold me your theme. Running your theme only with your recommended wp plugins also won’t cut it.
For the moment I’ve stopped using your theme. Will try it on a clean wp install in the next few day (even if does work won’t solve my current problem).
Till then, I need your help.

Hi, thank you for you time, I solved updating the plugin WPBakery Visual Composer, I always used the automatic update and forget that I have to update the plugins too.
Hello,
You can create your homepage using visual composer and replicate any category page. You just need a big grid: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/ and one of the content blocks: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ Here is a guide on how to use visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hi,
‘Trending now’ is visible on mobile phones in our theme as you can see on our demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ This is not the case if you use the mobile theme. The mobile theme does not use visual composer and trending now and other VC elements will not work with it. You can read more on the mobile theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
If you do not like the mobile theme you can disable it as it;s an optional plugin.
Thank you!
