Hello,
I did a search in the forum and saw that other people encountered similar problems with mine. However, my situation is a bit different therefore I created a new topic. If you feel it would be better to move this somewhere else, in a different topic, please do so, by all means!
So to the issue: I just installed Newspaper and Visual Composer on a dedicated server. The problem is that the homepage loads too slow (gmetrix says loading time is 45 seconds!!!), regardless of whether I have caching installed. I tried disabling all plugins with no luck. Then I totally deleted my installation of wordpress and did the whole thing from scratch. The second I enabled the theme and visual composer, the homepage became terribly slow again, even though I haven’t really used it, or created any posts! My gut says that this is more a Visual Composer issue rather than the topic. Please note that i manually installed the Visual Composer and not by the theme page.
The interesting thing is that, on the same server I have another installation of wordpress using Newsmag and the visual composer and it works like a charm! Not only that, this installation is a live website with more than 40 posts per day and more than 25000 visits per day and it works flawlessly! I could really use some help to identify what went wrong! If you need wp-admin access, please let me know!
Thanks
Hi,
I have tested some of the youtube links that are not working on your site bu they seem to work properly upon embedding. This could be a plugin you recently installed that interferes with the embed process. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know if the issue is still there.
Thank you!
Hi, guys
I’ve checked the information about creating a homepage and I have a question: is it mandatory to create a PAGE, using Visual Composer, in order to have a new HOMEPAGE?
When creating a new PAGE it always remains a permalink (if the title of the page is ‘my_home_page’ the permalink would be myweb.com/my_home_page/) and I don’t wanna have this kind of useless URL’s hanging around the web.
Ain’t an easy way to choose homepage styles as you do in http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/, where you can just select the style you want for your homepage?
Thanks.
Hi there team TagDiv!
I run a website (http://vrtodaymag.com). I have tried to use Visual Composer this morning, but the layout of my site doesn’t appear in the backend, and I notice an error when I inspect my code. (backend.min.js:6 Uncaught TypeError: $template.get is not a function).
I want to start adding elements, but even though I see a list of elements when I click the “+” sign, nothing happens when I click.
I use a licensed Newspaper Version: 7.1.1
Kind regards,
Nick
I use the World News Theme and the template is “Latest” Articles. Currently “Most Popular” is above Latest. I would like to have “Latest” first and below “Most Popular”. I cannot find “Latest” in the Visual Composer so I cannot drag it to change order.
Questions:
1. How do I change order so that Lestest is first?
2. Where do I change the text Latest into another language?
Thanks!
Hello gilean,
Please notice that you can use the same way for adding the ads to your post pages but you will have to add the code using the do_shortcode method where you want in your articles.
For example, if you want to display some ads in your article, first of all, you will have to create the code from the Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/jPe8zXDY and then you have to add the following code in the corresponding file with the post template used by you. As an instance, if you are using the post template style 1 you will have to add the code in loop-single-1.php, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/sQATPmLwlhD and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/s6nnSsQ5
-> <?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1" spot_title="CUSTOM AD"]');?>
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello josflachs,
The default behaviour for this type of feature should work like this -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ I have checked your website and I saw that you are suing an older version of our theme. Please try to update the theme to the latest version of it (Newspaper 7.1.1) and also, the latest version of required plugins (Visual Composer 4.11.2 and Social Counter 4.1) Please try to update theme only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Also, to avoid the conflicting plugins which might appear in the theme, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. For more information about theme updating, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
Please make sure you use version 7.1.1 of our theme and disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Then check the related articles again.

Hi adam,
The screenshot you provided is in classic mode. Please click the back-end editor and check for the editor. The mobile theme plugin adds a second editor that does not use visual composer, but you will find the standard editor below. Scroll down a bit.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please also test this on other websites to check if the mouse is behaving properly. If this is on our theme alone, than please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Let us know how it goes.

Hello gilean,
Please notice that you can use the Ad Box Visual Composer element, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/OH9uzhiCN and from there you can set it the subtitle/title. So, if you refer to something else, please provide more details about your desired changes so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks for your understanding!

Hello Bob,
The front-end editor from visual composer was removed as it created issues with our theme. I’m not sure how the “element selection doesn’t close” but issues with CV were caused by the latest version of wordpress and VC 4.9
Please update visual composer to version 4.11.2.
You can follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hello news_lp_client,

Also, if you want to further use the child theme, please ensure that you are using the latest version of it which come bundled with our theme to rule out some conflicts.

Hi,
Could I have some help here?
I need to:
(1) increase the white space on the left before all text starting in post (something similar to “->-> text” in visual editor).
I tried to add a code to custom css
td.post.content {padding-left: 100px} it worked fine but looked horrible in mobile.
Tried to use % but it didn’t work.
I know close to nothing about css, I took the code from internet.
(2) change font to droid sans.
I tried having experiments with font, style, size, weight on theme panel.
but…
didn’t know why, now all my text is on bold. even though I already set all back to default for fonts.
here’s my url http://www.bukusakumama.com/makanan-sehat-untuk-ibu-hamil/
Thanks
Config:
Newspaper 7.1.1, Visual Composer 4.8.1
For some reason there is very little functionality in the VC; the front end editor is non existent and the element selection doesn’t close. I have deactivated all plugins, removed the VC and reinstalled it with no change in functionality. Below I have copied the output of the FireFox console which may give a clue although it is meaningless to me.

Hello StudentLife,
Please ensure that you have fully updated your theme to the latest version of it (Newspaper 7.1.1) and this was made only via FTP because this is the surest method in this regard. Also, if you are using the PHP 7 version, please notice that this type of version was not been tested with our theme and might appear some unknown issues.

Hi
Please provide more details about your issue as I have troubles understanding you. Also provide your site url so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Meanwhile make sure you have updated the theme and Visual Composer plugin according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also check these links for more details about how to build a homepage: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/

Hi, I understand that you do not support plugin conflicts. However, all of my plugin conflicts have started with the release of Newspaper 7. I have been dealing with individual plugin developers to work through conflicts without much success. I use an automatic tweeting plugin called Tweet Wheel Pro for the past year. I can’t use it now because it disables the front page and crashes the backend of wordpress so you can’t post. I have been having issues with WP Pro Ad plugin as well.
Below is a pasted message from the Tweet Wheel Pro developer who has been trying to help with his plugin – this is a premium $100/year plugin that it looks like I now have to abandon because of the updates to the theme.
Message below:
Hi there,
Thank you for your patience on this.
I logged in and installed the latest version of Tweet Wheel Pro 2.0.5 and noted the following:
1. There is clearly a conflict between some hooks used within all installed plugins. I could see errors displayed at the top of the edit screen.
2. When I deactivate WP Pro Ad System plugin, the error above disappears. It doesn’t fix the page editing issue though, so I looked further.
3. When I keep WooCommerce active, but deactivate Visual Composer, I can edit Homepage and everything is back to normal.
4. When I keep Visual Composer active, but deactivate WooCommerce, I can edit Homepage and everything is back to normal.
To make sure I am right I literally deactivated all the plugins, but TWP, VC and WC. Taking TWP out of equation didn’t fix the issue leaving VC and WC to be the reason why your website acts odd.
To sum up, it looks like WP Baker Visual Composer and WooCommerce have some kind of conflict here. I can tell you are using the latest version of both, so it might have caused some bugs within your website when you upgraded.
WP Pro Ad System plugin has also some errors, but I don’t think they are any crucial. It would be a good idea to make developers aware of them. It can be specific to your installation though, so not sure if they would address your request. Depends on the quality of support really.
I am very sorry I cannot be any more specific, but least what I can advise is you can revert VC or WC to the older version. Perhaps that would fix the conflict.
If there is anything else you would need help with, do not hesitate to get in touch ?
Tomasz
End of Message..
I’m not sure if these issues are exclusive to my site http://www.observerxtra.com but if you can comment on any of this I would appreciate the help.
