Hello,
Ajax errors are usually due to js errors: http://screencast.com/t/4jYdbMwZn
This can be caused either by a plugin or the modification you made. First try it without plugins disable all of them except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. The check again. If the problem is still there, it means your code needs adjusting.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello Cristi,
Yes. Please notice that you want to add some widgets to your sidebar in frontpage, you will have to use the 2/3+1/3 layout from Visual Composer and then use the Widgetised Sidebar element, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/k8UuuFByvM2j For more information about sidebars, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
1. There is no ideal size for featured image. Basically image’s size should be at least by thumb’s size where will be used. You will have to asses the containers and thumbs you plan on using on your site and the post templates as well. If you use post templates that use the full size images like: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-2015-awards-all-of-the-best-and-worst-moments-from-the-show/ then a full hd image is required. If not, you need to inspect every element especially on the homepage. If you use big grids, your images must be at least the size of the big grid container otherwise they will not fit inside and not display properly. Here is a list of all thumbs used in our theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
also:https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/
2. Unfortunately you can place ads inside a block but using Visual Composer they can be added between blocks using ad-box block. Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/UsEiHaLk http://screencast.com/t/svjvQcYTee96
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hello GadgetViper,
Please notice that until now we do not have any bad reports in this regard and we cannot provide any response in this case because I cannot recreate this issue, sorry! Please ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and required plugins (Visual Composer 4.11.2 and Social Counter 4.1) and also, the latest version of WordPress (v.4.5.3). Clear all your caches and check again.
So, if your problem is still there, please try to switch your theme to a default one and check the behaviour in this case. For more details, you can make a mini-video so I can see what happens this problem.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
I use the “Say What” layout on my site.
I would like to add some widgets on my sidebar, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. It works only on categories and posts, but not on the front page.
I’ve had to add boxes using the visual composer.
Can I use the widget sidebar on the front page?
Thanks,
Cristi
Hello,
Page speed is a very personal thing and can depend on lots of variables starting from the host and all the way down to the plugins that you use. Plugins play a very big role in page speed. so please test it out with all plugins disabled excepot visual composer and wp super cache, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then test again and see if there is any plugin slowing you down.
Based on your pagespeed score you get pretty high scores. You get 87 points on desktop and our demo gets 89. The difference is very small between the 2.
The first load however takes quite a bit of time so unfortuantely there is little you can do from this side as the first load can only be adjusted from the server. Here is an example from drupal: https://www.drupal.org/node/526092
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. then use this guide to fix the images: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello amitmadhra,
1)Unfortunately, our theme has not been tested with Google Material Design and we have no idea if it will work with this, sorry! If this supposes that the layout of the theme to be modified, please notice that you cannot bring the best results because our theme does not support to increase/decrease the layout and as you can see, it is already responsiveness.
2)Unfortunate, we cannot help in this matter as we have not even tested The Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer. The plugin author is the one that can shed light on the subject.
3)Unfortunately, this type of plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the theme behaviour with this plugin and also we cannot say for sure if it will work as expected with the theme. Notice that we cannot provide support for untested plugins.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. This is most likely a plugin conflict. Also try to identify what is different in that particular category if plugins are not the cause. Please provide a link to your site if the problem is still there so we can investigate.
Thank you!
Hi,
As I replied in the other topic, the issue is a caching issue. It does not seem to be the case anymore. As for visual composer, please update your plugin to version 4.11.2 by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please also update your social counter plugin as well because the old version from newspaper 6 does not work in newspaper 7.
Thank you!
Hello pixelonline,
Please notice that when you customize your homepage in the backend, you can to chose the position of your desired block as you wish. For example, if you have a PERFORMANCE TRAINING block and you want that certain post to be displayed in this block, you will have to filter the block by a category which contains your post in order to achieve as you wish, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/IkvR9bP74C1B
For more information about this, you can try to read our documentation regarding on what can be used the Visual Composer in the correct way, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ Also, you can watch our video tutorial from our YouTube channel where is presented the important steps in order to create a homepage, like this -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC7iz-v-zIY
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
VC does seem to have a lot of styling into it…Try this code:
.vc_toggle_active .vc_toggle_title h4{
color:black!important;
}
Please be mindful of these modifications as they alter the visual composer css, (not the theme’s) so if any other visual composer elements (except theme blocks) have color issues, test to see if the code does not affect them as well. I can’t say for sure if these classes will not be used in some other part of VC as we are not the plugin authors.
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked the indicated post and it works fine on my end. However images from this post are not set to be displayed in modal window when user click on them. You can enable general modal image option from theme panel if you want all images to be displayed in modal window: http://screencast.com/t/omHb1oivppJ
I am not sure why the video from youtube does not fit properly o the page but you can try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
Hi,
How can I test a block from visual composer without visual composer? The blocks in our theme can only be used with VC. If you have problems with the pagination please disable all your plugins except VC, clear cache and reset cdn files. You could have a plugin conflict that is affecting the pagination.
Thank you!
Hi Tagdiv,
1. Google Material Design Styles
Can I use Material Design CSS styles in Newspaper,
What do I need to do to make my Newspaper site same like Google Material Design.
Ref.Link # Google Material
2. Visual Composer w/ Add-Ons
I have my own visual composer with ultimate addons, will that work with Newspaper theme.
If I re-install Newspaper latest version with My Own VC, will it work.
I’m not asking for support particularly in this just asking whether it will work or not.
2. Replace your Inbuilt Social sharing with ADDTHIS
Your Social sharing lacks Linkedin so can I replace your social sharing with ADDTHIS social sharing.
Is it possible to delete your social share code to make the site even more lighter?
Thanks,
Yes I don’t use visual composer on my site. I created a template for my custom post type from one of the templates included with the theme.
Allow me to join the conversation…
This is one of the trade off using commercial wordpress template.. theme developer provide a lot of feature, but perhaps you only use 20-30% of them. Is there any solution ? yes, you will rely on several plugin to optimize your site:
1. Gonzales WordPress plugin, i use it to exclude script and css in a specific pages. Do you realize that if you use COntact Form 7, the script will get loaded on every page of your site.. that’s absurbs
2. Unused-css.com. It will browse your site both in desktop and responsive to find unused css selector.. for my site using visual composer, it reduce 83% of total file… for newspaper it reduce 30%, and newspaper ships with unminified CSS, so you can have extra kb on that
3. Cache Plugin. this is the real booster begin, i’m using WP-Rocket.. it support for page cache, gzip compression, defer javascript support, combine and minify script… really a major requirement when you need to speed up your site.
Is all 3 100% reliable, not really.. first you need to backup and then you need to test your front end, and make sure all of this three improved your site speed to the max.
Last but not least, your server resource also matter.. don’t expect to have good performance with low quality of server (especially shared one).
Good luck

Hi,
In order to re-create that look you need to add a row in visual composer and make it full width. The block is a block 14 so you need to create your section like so: http://screencast.com/t/Cxb8E4FWfFjM and then use the row setting to add the background color and stretch the row: http://screencast.com/t/DBycczxgXUrm – http://screencast.com/t/Z1PbWs0N and then add a black background from the design option tab on the row settings.
Now you should have this result: http://screencast.com/t/90hCumjDo
Now you need to use css to position it properly: http://screencast.com/t/ZjEdGWmi
Use this code:
.mycustomclass{
margin-bottom:20px!important;
padding-top:48px!important;
}
Thank you!
Hi,
We have no reports of this at the moment and our theme does not change the links. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the links again. If the problem is still there, please provide a link to your site and an example of how you are adding images so we can investigate this further.
Thank you!
Hello mboydnv,
First of all, please notice that so it should look your SAY WHAT demo menu, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/eXtv6npfi I have checked your website and I saw that your main menu has been a bit of broken in iPad mode…but I have noticed that you have some additional customization through code that causes these secondary effects. Please try to revert the theme to the default state and then check the results because we cannot provide support for your additional customizations, sorry! Plese try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, 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 is still there after this, you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect your problem.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello,
Pages in the mobile theme do not use visual composer so all pages that do not have a mobile version created for them in the second editor (mobile editor) will not display anything. Please read this topic to learn more about how the mobile theme works: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you!
Hello chrisdesign,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have 2 sidebars, sorry! You can use the 3 columns using the Visual Composer for posts pages, like as on homepage but not for category pages. Please notice that the VC on posts is not tested.
Thaks for your understanding!
Hello Tatiana,
Please notice that this type of plugin is tested with our theme and seems to work as properly with it. I suspect this issue comes from your untested plugins which you are using in the theme and which might interfere with the theme and cause a lot of unknown issues. Try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and SEO Yoast to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!

Hi,
The code you are seeing on your site is not a php code but rather visual composer shortcodes. The code was visible because visual composer was not installed.
Thank you!
