Hello killerkhan,
I have checked your website and I saw that big white space. Also, I have checked your source page and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins, including a youtube embed and etc. which are not tested with our theme and which might cause many problems in theme. I have noticed that this plugin adds some classes and custom CSS in the theme which damage the layout and that’s why that white space it appear. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Plese keep in mind that all of these plugins which you are using on your side are not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the theme behaviour with these and also, we cannot provide support for those untested plugins, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
This is how the Visual Composer element works, we don’t alter the Visual Composer code or functionality, the theme was designed to support the plugin and we register our own blocks. On our blocks we use add_image size function and the thumbs are used on modules and blocks, you can read more about this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-vs-featured-image-size/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/ so you can use tagdiv blocks if you want.
So for your Visual Composer element you could create a custom grid and set the post image size – http://screencast.com/t/FInktJtG14 Here you can find more details about the Grid Builder – https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Grid+Builder – https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3604488
Thanks!
Hello marciagf,
Please keep in mind that Visual Composer come bundled with our theme and you will have to use only the version which comes with the theme and not other to achieve better results. Our latest version of the theme is Newspaper 7.1.1 and the right version for required plugins are -> Visual Composer 4.11.2 and Social Counter 4.1.
As you can see, all the plugins are in constant development. Each plugin will have to be checked with our theme for a good working and this process it may take a while. For example, the latest version of Visual Composer is 4.12 and the latest version of the plugin which has been tested with our theme is 4.11.2. In the future, after our developers will check this latest version of Visual Composer with the theme and they will find that the theme does not need to do some adjustments for, we will release an update with the latest version of Visual Composer (4.12). Until we will release the update with these latest versions you will have to ignore these messages.
So, please notice that if you want to have the latest version of the Visual Composer, you will need to have the additional license of this plugin and also, we cannot say for sure if this version of Visual Composer will work 100% with the theme because this version it is in testing.
For more information about Visual Composer, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello all,
I want to underline the fact that our theme is in constant development and we working hard that it to be updated with the latest version of plugins. So, I suppose that you are using the latest version of WordPress which is 4.5.2 and if you are not using the latest version of the theme, you will not bring the best results here. Also, you will have to use the latest tested version of Visual Composer (4.11.2) with the theme because if you are using an older version of it, also, you will not bring the best results and the Composer will not work. So, if you are using an older theme version of the theme and if you not planning to reinstall/update the theme to the latest version, then you will have to downgrade the WordPress and Visual Composer from an older version if you want that your theme to work as expected. Please keep in mind that for every time when Visual Composer will release a new version, we will release a new update with the latest version of the theme which is adjusted to this version of a plugin, for better results. So, if you have updated these plugins to the latest version of them and if your theme is not updated to the latest version of it, the chances are high to not working as properly.
Please keep in mind that we cannot offer support for older version of the theme, but only for the latest, because this area is in constant development and we have to keep up technologies advanced.
I hope that you understand this!
Thanks for your message!
Hi
The theme is tested and ad-sens ads works fin with it. The theme don’t change the data from ad-code, it only adapt it to screen’s width: http://screencast.com/t/D8pMXAwiv PLease make sure that the code from google it’s identical with the one pasted in theme panel. Google won’t reject your site because of theme’s ad system. You can test the ad-code within a js-row from Visual Composer and check how it goes: http://screencast.com/t/R4gBbIa1U Using this method theme’s ad-system won’t touch the ad code and will be rendered in its original form
Thanks!
Hi,
The block settings can be changed by clicking the pencil icon as presented in this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Your problem originates from the latest version of wordpress. You use an old version of the theme and an old version of visual composer. You have visual composer 4.6.2 but for the latest version of WP you need version 4.11.2 as there were a few compatibility issues that needed fixing. Please updfate your theme to the latest version by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update your plugin by following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please also make sure you update the social counter plugin as well after you update.
Thank you!

Hello Rocket1j,
Unfortunately, I do not exactly understand what you want to mean. So, please notice that our blocks have been designed to be used in 1/2/3 columns using the Visual Composer, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
If you refer to something else, please provide more details about what you want to achieve, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello zeeshan,
I have checked your website and did not find the layout from your screenshots. I found this -> http://screencast.com/t/zgOhZwIfSf for your specific link. I have checked your homepage and there I found the same layout, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/cNiakayiycr I suppose that you want to add a background image to this black space, right? So, if you want this, please notice that you will have to add the background image using Visual Composer to the Row, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/pYGZFnPVA6eI and for your Related Articles section, please provide the certain URL so I can inspect it closer.
To change the background in that section -> http://screencast.com/t/vZMUQ1EC4 you will have to use the same method as I presented you above and if you want to change the structure for your Ajax Filter, you will have to check the Block Settings and set only your desired category which you want to display and not all categories, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/hZ7jrjoBouE For more information about Block Settings, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
Thanks for your understanding!
I just disabled all plugins (except clear cache and visual composer) and the booklet image is still not showing up when I bookmark my website to my iPhone home screen. I used this feature on a previous version of Newspaper and it worked fine. Not sure what is different this time.
Hello scorp,
Please try to disable ALL the plugins and leave just the Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. It is possible that your plugins to interfere between them and might cause some unknown issues.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please try to deactivate all plugins except for visual composer and revolution slider, then clear all caches: plugin, browser, hosting or a cdn server if you use it.
Then test the slider again. If the problem goes away, then you need to identify the plugin that is creating the conflict and remove/replace it.
Thank you!
Hi,
The category tags can be removed for every module in particular from this section of the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/Ke7qKqng
if you want to remove the tags for a particular block and not all blocks of that type, then you can add a custom css class on the row in visual composer and use css to hide the category tags.
Here is an example: http://screencast.com/t/hejLj9Cvv
Then I would use this code to hide the tags for this row only:
.mycustomclass .td-post-category{
display:none!important;
}
As for the tags on category pages, they can be removed by changing the category template style from the per-category settings: http://screencast.com/t/5zTtbSaOU
Thank you!

Hope this helps.

Hello scorp,
I have checked your website and I suspect that you do not properly set the sidebars. So, for pages, if you want to display the sidebars you will have two possibilities -> 1) Using the Visual Composer with this layout (2/3+1/3) like this -> http://screencast.com/t/eDiV5efbhEq (in this case you will have to use the default page template or pagebuilder+latest articles+pagination) -> http://screencast.com/t/oNKE9O2l0S or 2) You can use the pagebuilder+page title template and the sidebar you will have to set from the theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/bRM71kT0Q -> http://screencast.com/t/5J9wz7SlDv9A
For category pages, all the settings about these you can set from Theme panel->Categories, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/dkvo6Cad
For more information about our sidebars, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ Also, this tutorial could be more useful for you because there you will see how you can use the Visual Composer, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
As a notice, for better results, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches, purge CDN file if you are using the CDN system and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I’ve done as you asked (excluding a couple of security plugins which I’m not supposed to disable and which I’m told shouldn’t cause an issue).
The plugins list does say that Visual Composer isn’t up to date. Could this be causing the issue? How do I get the plugim updated to the current version as it is packaged with the theme?
I can give you the URL for the site, but it is currently behind a maintenance page (this is the other plugin which isn’t disabled as it is needed)
PS: I have a copy of the site running on a local server. I have disabled all plugins excluding Visual Composer on that and BigGrid is still displaying incorrectly.
Hi
There is nos such element in Visual Composer but you can achieve the desired result by combining the existent elements. For example you can use a text block element with a background image like here: http://screencast.com/t/2iWRkOjzzL7O – http://screencast.com/t/cgsc7owFd – http://screencast.com/t/IIIYBxVbZA
This is the example shortcode from Visual Composer: http://pastebin.com/Ahscf3d8 – http://screencast.com/t/FjmsVHsOl
Hope this helps.
Thanks!
Hi,
In order to create a homepage you need to use visual composer. The screenshot I showed was from visual composer, not the theme panel. Maybe this will help: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Thank you!
Hi,
Please read this guide for information on visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The plugin cannot be activated so you can ignore the message.
As for the social counter, please make sure you use the latest version of the plugin (4.1) This version is included in the latest theme version 7.1.1 and then simply disable and delete your current social counter and install it again from the new theme package you download from envato.
After you are up and running with version 4.1, use this guide to set it up: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/
After everything is set up, please clear all caches as the counter is affected by cache.
Thank you!
Hi,
There is no need to add css for custom fonts. You can simply add it to the custom fonts section and then selecting it for your elements from the frop-down. I will post here a more specific guide than the documentation for all users to benefit from:
Here is a step by step guide on how to add custom fonts to your content:
1) Download your preferred font but you need to make sure it’s a woff file. If it’s not, you need to search for a tool of converting fonts to a .woff format. (there are free online tools like fontsquirrel.com)
2) Upload your woff file to your server in any path you want (It has to bee inside your main wordpress instalation)
3)Add the full path to your .woff file. A full path looks like this:
http://mydomain.com/wp-content/customfonts/Angeline Vintage_Demo.woff
I created a “customfonts” folder in wp-content
If I were to add the font in the main root directory of wp, the correct path would be this one:
http://mydomain.com/Angeline Vintage_Demo.woff
It needs the absolute path to the font file no matter what folder structure you choose to have.
In order to check if the path you entered is correct, you can copy it into the browser as a standard url and the browser should download the file. If it provides a 404 error, it means the path you entered for your font is incorrect.
4) Add a name to your font in the font family box: http://screencast.com/t/sAr9rRakShu
5) Now your font will appear in the fonts dropdown so you can select it for your preferred elements: http://screencast.com/t/yrxW9kdQ0oH
This method does not require css to work.
@david If custom fonts do not apply to all your pages, there must be some css overwriting the font. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. If this does not fix it, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can login and inspect the issue.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello kawalchhabra,
I have checked your website and I saw that you do not use the classic structure for a post with Featured Image. As I can see, you are using some untested plugins which bring your photo on your post page. I have tested your post URL with Facebook Debugger, I have scraped again your post and then the sharing seems to work as properly as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/jvYyhYEc02M and the result here-> http://screencast.com/t/w5sXmV95z
On the future, please try to set a featured image for each post because the Facebook will bring this when the post is sharing on the Facebook. Also, please notice that our theme is not tested with this type of plugin and to avoid some errors that may appear in theme, please try to disable all the untested plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Thank you for your understanding!
