i dont use visual composer for my homepage. i did disable category paginations (with infite loading).
but my homepage still have default pages. i have like so many /page/number index on google. its really annoying.
Hey Guys. Great template. Love everything about it. Seems like it is going to be super simple and effective. I am having two issues with posts..
I am using the entertainment demo and am having trouble getting the post content to be full width. I have modified the icloud post template to 100% width and it shows full width in the appearance window…but those changes are not happening on the live site. I am using visual composer. FYI… I want it full width so the images will be full width and I can add some margins to the containers with text. Here is link to the page…http://landcodevelop.wpengine.com/267-acres-for-sale-in-fulton-county-illinois/ I am mostly concerned with mobile.
Second issue on the same page is that a single image (the first one with the satellite with the yellow lines) is seeming to be cropped into a 4:3 image when in fact it is closer to a square if it were full size.
Thx in advance! I can gladly provide a user/pass if you want to get in and check it out. I have disabled all other plugins outside of tagdiv and Visual Composer. Thx!
Hi,
Please notice that you can further use the Visual Composer if you want but you need to activate our TD Composer. So, if you want to migrate all of your elements from WPBackery to our page builder, please check the following topic from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thank you!
The inability to keep Visual composer is going to cost us hundreds of dollars. We are web designers and have used your theme for a while. This is unacceptable. We need a solution quickly. We purchased the theme with the understanding that we would be able to use VC along with the advertisement features of your theme.
Why isn’t there a page in the docs which states all the shortcodes?
In a post Gutenberg world, we need to enter shortcodes manually into each post. Especially in “Smart Lists”!
There is no longer a ‘visual button’ in Gutenberg NOR is there any doc page telling the end user what all of the shortcodes are either.
So, we end-users have ZERO way to enter shortcodes anymore – we can NOT enter the shortcodes via the Gutenberg editor, nor can we manually type out the shortcodes because we do NOT know what all those shortcodes are either.
Can you please add those old shortcode parameters into blocks OR at minimum, please list out somewhere in the docs what all the shortcodes are?
I received the email to update my Newspaper Theme along with another email with instructions on what to do. Thank goodness I did a backup.
I updated the theme and my header and footer disappeared and left a bunch of code in its place. Then, as instructed I activated TagDiv Composer, something that I normally don’t use. When I did that my website disappeared completely and two lines of code were left in its place. Having no other instructions or guidance I restored my site from the backup.
I only have one page on my site that was done in Visual Composer, yet all pages and posts were affected.
Anyone have ideas.
Hi,
Ref from this thread: »https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cant-edit-some-blocks-with-td-composer/«.
I used the premade template from the beginning and now I would like to delete the blogs I can’t edit, those made with Visual Composer.
How do I Do this?
Thanks again!
PS: Very nice with the latest update!!!
Thank you for your fast replying.
Newspaper’s requirements are respected.
As mentioned in the documentation, activating both plugins makes div extends to 100% and some others disfunctions.
I Actually installed Newspaper on an existing website with hundreds of pages made with Visual Composer. So I need to keep this plugin activated (to not having to edit each post).
I found “Plugin Organizer” wich allow to disable plugins on specific pages (in my case, deactivate Visual Composer on home page). It seems to have solved my problem ! Hope this won’t create ones. May be usefull to @dragonstreet.
Hi,
coming from the standard WPBackery visual builder from my previous theme, I desactive and uninstall/delate it, and install the TagDiv specially made WPBackery visual builder.
Everything look in place in my post, except that my images (in their block) are like zoomed (I can’t adjust them by editing). Also I use to have an outline line turquoire around my images which disapeared. (But still set in the WBBackey option block)
Is that a bug ? Or a featured desativated from the standard visual composer to the tagDiv one or a regeneration images problem ?
Thanks a lot for your help
David
Hi,
Giving a try on Newspapaer,and his philosophy behind (quite clever so far for quick posting) is that possible de use shortcode from the TagDiv composer into a post ? ( a section like an alerte massage, call to action, a download etc..)
Or Does TagDiv advice to use the special WPBackery Visual Composer for post creation ? (and will keep going with it ? )
thanks a lot
David
Hi,
After theme update please check the theme plugins to be updated and activate in specially tagDiv Composer and tagDiv Cloud Library if you are using elements from cloud -> https://www.screencast.com/t/aNq9x55w or visual Composer ( now WPBakery ) if you use it to build your website.
Please make sure that all the settings are like in our requirements, please follow the guide carefully
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
and please increase all requirements that are lower, and follow all steps.
WP_MEMORY_LIMIT try to increase it at least to 256mb.
Also please check the php version to be 7-7.2
Thank you!
I thought it was a Total Cache issue, so I restored defaults and deleted the plugin, this was happening before Guttenberg and it just has become such a nuisance. Whenever I start a post, everything looks great in the editor, I don’t see a phantom forward slash in visual or code mode, then I click preview it shows a ‘\’ within the first 3-4 paragraphs at a random line break, no rhyme or reason.
This affects all of the articles on my page, I’m not using many plug-ins aside from Yoast and the default tagdiv stuff.
I walked away a couple of months ago because it really upset me that I spent so much time working on this and couldn’t figure out what happened. Can someone from support please help me diagnose this issue?
If I try to condense the text and get rid of the line break that the ‘\’ appears in the ‘\’ just moves further down the page but never goes away.

Hi,
The Visual Composer comes bundled with this package, and it no requires some activation. You only install it according to our useful guide which can be read from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Regarding on Revolution Slider, notice that’s no problem with it and seems to return well results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Jeez. Don’t lose sight of the fact that many of us are content creators, not web dev pros. We never had to do this with visual page builder and this change has been forced on me because you’ve moved over to your own builder. At the very least we expect this stuff to work out of the box without detailed system config work like this.

Hi,
Usually this is because you do not have activate the visual Composer ( now WPBakery ) or tagDiv Composer;
From Visual Composer to tagDiv Composer ->https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
tagDiv Composer tutorial ->https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
From I can see you code look like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/qlUgCDIhna
Thank you!
We use Newspaper 9.5 for our national political news website and for a hyperlocal one here in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
It serves most of our needs but not all and I use Elementor with the Newspaper theme on Blue Ridge Muse because it allows making rapid changes on image sizing and proportions on both single posts and the home page and it adds some additional functionality I need on that site.
I’ve had to put in some workarounds but the time is worth it. On Capitol Hill Blue, we often use multiple authors for bylines, which requires use of third-party equipment because Newspaper has not added that capability, even though a number of us users of the software has requested that feature be added.
Newspaper is a good theme but understand that different users need additional capabilities. Just simply saying “use our visual composer or else” does not serve the purposes of every user.
I know you get a lot of requests for changes and/or modifications but please realize that multiple bylines are a way of life for many news organizations but that’s another topic for another time.
Hello,
I have two questions about WPBakery plugin:
1. My current homepage was built with tagdiv composer. Is there any problem if I want to edit it with wpbakery now? Or should I start it all over again from scratch (which would be a pain)? How should I proceed?
2. I would like to buy this add on for wpbakery, since it comes with some built in demos which are precisily what I’m looking for. The question is: does it work with newspaper theme? I asked the plugin developers and they said “If they use the same plugin as WPBakery available on CodeCanyon,then yes you can edit them.”
Hello Team,
I have installed the theme in out existing website. Now we are not getting the future images and video for a single post.
In the home we have designed using visual composer but it shows a blank screen.
Previous we have used WordPress automatic plugin to get the video and images from youtube.
Hi,
That field is used by tagDiv composer to mark pages that are manually modified in tinyMCE. We show a warning when a page is modified manually or with visual composer. It’s name is inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirty_bit
Thank you!
I purchased this theme back in 2017. These are the only 6 plugins that I currently see on my account: tagDiv Composer, tagDiv Multi-Purpose, tagDiv Social Counter, Revolution Slider, tagDiv Mobile Theme, Visual Composer. My question is how do I get the other plugins such as TagDiv Newspaper so I can collect the emails of users?
Hi,
That code appear on your website because you do not have activate the builder with you made the page, usually this is tagDiv Composer or Visual Composer ( now WPBakery ), please make sure that you have those activate after you update the theme.
Thank you for your understanding!
The AMP version will look same as the mobile theme, this demo has the mobile theme active
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_local_news/
Check it with a mobile emulator or an actual mobile. Having only the mobile theme active, or having the mobile theme and also AMP active, will look the same visually.
You can use the ad spots mentioned above, in the mobile theme section of the theme panel
– http://prntscr.com/n0ghd9
In articles there is a top ad, inline ad and bottom ad.
Hi,
That is quite an an old theme version from which you are updating. Here you can find a changelog for each theme update, to see what has been modified, new features etc
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 (bottom of the page).
This would be the only guide that we created for updating the theme
– https://tagdiv.com/update-newspaper-theme/
The theme requirements guide has been updated as well, please check it carefully and if necessary ask your hosting provider to increase the values of the parameters mentioned in it
– https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-requirements/
For the WP memory we recommend a value of 256M. Having low memory may cause such problems, or if using an older PHP version. You can see the values in the theme system status
– http://prntscr.com/n0dwzx
After the update, deactivate/delete all the old theme plugins and install the new ones from the theme package plugins folder.
Update WPBakery (if you used it), the theme package contains version 5.7
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Note that the tagDiv composer introduced in version 8 of the theme, will automatically be installed and activated – https://tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-page-builder-basics/
Since update 8 this is the main page builder in the theme, WPBakery is still provided in the them package however, for users that want to keep using it.
Maybe consider making a copy or clone of the website (local or in sub-domain) and test there. Update there first and see what happens. Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks
Simion, thank you for your response.
Sorry for the ambiguity: The tdc_main.php file containing the comments “//// Add external shortcodes….” was taken from a version 8.5 directory I had archived, …\Newspaper\includes\plugins\td-composer\includes\tdc_main.php Line 231.
I grepped the current installation of version 9.5 and those comments are not found.
The irony is that the Newspaper 8.5 version worked fine in early January 2109 (and since we purchased the product in 2017): Shortcode in the excerpt field worked before the 2019 WordPress and PHP updates – I think up to WordPress 4.95, and PHP 7.0.32.
In any case, our TablePress shortcodes are no longer rendering properly on category pages (and haven’t since January):
https://ipq.org/category/warning-letters/
These shortcodes are added to the excerpt field in the post, such as (HTML brackets are stripped for clarity):
a href=”https://ipq.org/micro-labs-limited/”><font color=”000000″>[table id=217 /]</font></a
You can see by visiting the page that the shortcode text is linked, ie. being read.
I’ve not been able to have any shortcodes render under these conditions, not even old built-in WordPress shortcodes.
The Call Stack I’m getting from the td_action undefined index error is (edited for clarity):
load_css_live (…\plugins\td-composer\css-live\css-live.php:31)
require_once (…\plugins\td-composer\css-live\css-live.php:592)
tdc_plugin_init (…\plugins\td-composer\td-composer.php:68)
WP_Hook->apply_filters (…\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php:286)
WP_Hook->do_action (…\wp-includes\class-wp-hook.php:310)
do_action (…\wp-includes\plugin.php:465)
require_once (…\Newspaper\includes\wp_booster\td_wp_booster_functions.php:214)
include (…\Newspaper\functions.php:44)
require_once (…\wp-settings.php:479)
require_once (…\wp-config.php:105)
require_once (…wp-load.php:37)
{main} (…\wp-admin\admin-ajax.php:22)
The code we used to deliver the hooks were – and currently are – added to the Newspaper/functions.php file, LINE 12:
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘shortcode_unautop’);
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’);
add_filter(‘get_the_excerpt’, ‘do_shortcode’);
Please pardon me for any errors, including errors in communication, I’ve been working on this off-and-on since January. Many attempts were made to fix this problem, including: • new installations with the old Newspaper 8.5 theme • new installations with the new theme • deactivation and deletion of plugins, including combinations thereof, and • running on PHP 7.0.32 in a development environment.
Our ipq.org site is a development site, as is ipqpubs.org, where these problems first arose.
I just began the debugging process in Visual Studio Code, a few days ago. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. I’m sure the solution is a very simple one.
Thank you!

Hi,
This plugin need to be in the theme folder that you get from themeforest -> https://www.screencast.com/t/kICdziqEv -> https://www.screencast.com/t/5GkBlW13r
Please check our documentation for visual composer ( the new WPBakery ) -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
