Hello,
Thank you for your appreciation.
1) Please install visual composer as the plugin is required dor the theme elements to work properly: http://screencast.com/t/NvYhYEWfc
2) The form seems to be working properly from my end. Please check it again. http://screencast.com/t/KYTifjaH
3) If you use the mobile theme, then things are a bit different here as the mobile theme does not use visual composer in order to get good loading speeds. You cannot esit the homepage as it’s predefined to show only a big grid with featured posts filtered (yopu need to add them to the ‘featured’ category ) and a latest articles element. All your pages that have been created using visual composer will have to be re-created for the mobile version using the secondary mce editor you can see in the back-end. basicaly you will have 2 versions of your pages.
4) You can add google ads in our theme through the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/vnCFbKnvY
You can read more about ads here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/header-ads-adsense/ – http://screencast.com/t/zGPK6QyR
Thank you!
I havent used visual composer at all on those pages so your mobile theme got bugs besides i have no plan to use mobile theme, showing less information to visitors is not going to be useful

Hi,
All pages will be empty if you created them with visual composer. It;s not a bug but the way the mobile theme works. you need to recreate your pages in the text editor for the mobile version without the use of visual composer. That is the reason why you now have a second mce editor in the back-end. The mobile theme gets it’s speed by not using visual composer at all.
Thank you!
Hello firethreedesigns,
Please ensure that you have the right version of Social Counter in order to achieve best results. So, if you have the latest version of Newspaper (v 7.0) you should have the Social Counter 4.0 and if you have Newspaper 6.7.2 version you should have 3.2 version. Please notice that in both cases you will have the Visual Composer 4.11.2 version. Try to clear all you caches and test in again and check the results.
So, please notice that our theme does not have tested the premium version of Revolution plugin and it is not available with our theme. All of the theme plugins are come bundled with our theme folder which you can download from Theme Forest. So, if you want to have the premium version of Revolution Slider you should but it but please keep in mind that we cannot say for sure if it will work or not with our theme because it was not tested with our latest version.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello jazarian,
Please check the settings for this type of Visual Composer element from the panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/lty3vvPS1V and there you can see all the settings which you can do with this element. Please notice that you cannot write in this because this feature display you only the titles for your posts and you cannot change the structure of it but only through code if you want.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello stevemitchell,
As a mention, our mobile theme does not use the Visual Composer and therefore, all your pages which are created with this composer will not be rendered in your mobile theme. This is just the behaviour of this plugin. The mobile theme will show you only the Big Grid, your desired text -> when will be added in your Mobile Editor from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/yScETLv8a and the latest articles in the bottom of the page. So, please notice that the Big Grid will render you only the posts which are included in Featured category, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/stIfQqn0o Please notice that this is the goal for our mobile theme to be very fast and clear. If you are unhappy with this, you can disable it from the panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ST8XuqHtyZh and then you will have the normal mobile responsive mode.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
The sidebars can be added in 2 ways in our theme. The first way is through the widgets area. You can add a custom side-bar and add widgets to it and then set it to categories, posts or pages. Please follow this guide to see how this can be done: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
The second way of adding a sidebar is through visual composer and it only applies to pages. You can split the row in 2 sections and add elements to the split section as our demo pages are created: http://screencast.com/t/Obnzo8lyh2Fa
Please follow this guide to see how to use visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. You may have a plugin conflict that causes this.
let us know if the problem is still there.
Thanks.
Hello Augustine,
1)If you want to have the Back to top button for your Mobile layout, you have to use a bit of CSS code to do this. Please try the code below and place it in Theme panel->Custom CSS area.
The code is ->
@media (max-width: 767px){
.td-scroll-up {
display: block;
}
}
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/pyG0JGuC3zqV
2)Unfortunately, at the moment, this is the behaviour of our mobile theme. We work hard to add more improvements our theme and in next our updates we will try to develop this plugin to render and the Visual Composer shortcode.
3)Unfortunately, this type of plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the theme behaviour with this type of plugin on our new latest version.
Thank you for your understanding!
i cant able to use visual composer on New Page or on Older Pages, Showing loader continuously.
That’s you can see pointed mark on dashboard page, see below screen.
Hello wawat,
Please ensure that you’re using the latest version of Visual Composer (4.11.2) because this was fully tested with the latest version of WordPress (4.5.2) and works as properly. If you are using an older version of Visual Composer, please notice that this will not work as expected with the WordPress 4.5.2 because of a conflict. Please update all your plugins to the latest versions, clear all your caches and test it again.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello valerianidesign,
Please notice that our theme was fully tested in this regard before to be released and you should not have these type of errors. As you can see, the problems appear on your side and probably is caused by your settings.
So, first of all, please try to do a full backup to your data, according to this documentation here -> https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups to rule out the way can loose all your data from your database and then try to do a fresh install only VIA FTP -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ because this is the surest method in this case. In the next step, you will have to disable ALL your plugins and leave just Visual Composer to active -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ (for Newspaper 7 -> Visual Composer 4.11.2), clear all your caches, purge all CDN files if you are using CDN and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins and if you are using the Child theme, please try to switch to the main theme. So, please try to bring your old website to the default settings to rule out all the potential errors which could appear when you customize your side.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
If your need further assistance in this regard, and if your problem is still there after these tips, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect your setup page. Also, please provide your FTP access so we can deeper inspect it closer your website files. You have to provide the link to this topic on the mail so we can identify you.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Unfortunately I could not access your site as it requires registration.
The issue you are facing is most likely caused by a conflicting plugin as our theme is compatible with the latest version of WP. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the site again and let us know if the problem is fixed.
Thank you!
Hi,
I purchased the Newspaper theme but now can’t install the plug ins that go along with it (such as visual composer).
When I try to install, I receive the message:
The plugin does not have a valid header.
Downloading install package from http://urbanyvr.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/plugins/js_composer.zip…
Download failed. Service Temporarily Unavailable
I am wondering if this is because I am using 1&1 managed WordPress?
I switched the managed wordpress over to a standard installation shortly after signing up as I did not realize the limitations.
Please advise – I would really like to use this theme and it’s very frustrating not being able to.
hello.
my issue is that auto-generated excerpts are not coming out in the rss feed for some reason.
scenario 1: a manual excerpt is typed in. rss will pick it up. no problem
scenario 2: i change wp settings to full-text instead of excerpt. rss will pick it up and display full text. no problem
scenario 3: i enter nothing in excerpt and get no automatic excerpt in rss. it is blank with only a link to the post / page. this is my problem.
ive tried toggling the excerpt mode in newspaper from letters to words and it makes no difference. ive also disabled every plugin i use except for tagdiv speed boost, tagdiv social counter, wp visual composer. doing so did not resolve the issue.
here is a link to the post: http://ouchmyego.com/podcasts/beyond-black-rainbow-just-watch/
here is a link to the rss feed: http://ouchmyego.com/feed/
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hello Tagdiv,
I had updated my blog to Newspaper 7. Simply, Awesome!!! I need some help regarding the following issues.
1) How to display the Back to top button in mobile device also. By default Back to top button is hidden in Mobile layout.
2) I tried Mobile Layout. It is very good. But My blog mainly depends on the pages created using Visual Composer. So I disabled it for now. Is there any chances for bringing the Pages to Mobile theme?
3) Icons in the entire blog are missing when I use Mailchimp forms by Optin Cat (https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-wp/) . It was working fine before. Any Fix for this?
Thanks.
Hi Bogdan
Thanks for the follow-up emails, much appreciated. As instructed I have deactivated, deleted and reinstalled both plugins from Newspaper\includes\plugins folder. And have activated both. Additionally I have copied the code from the stack and inserted it into the htaccess file.
Unfortunately nothing has changed. Social icons still remain confabulated. The good news is that I opened a new page and successfully used the Visual Composer to place an element.
As for the message else, a rss or another plugin and id does not create the main body classes needed for the demo. I cannot find the single or page classes anywhere on your site. I have no idea how that has occurred as I used only your theme. I have absolutely no idea where to start to rectify the problems
Bob
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. This is most likely a plugin conflict.
Thank you!
Hey Bodgan,
Thank you for coming back to this.
As I said: Happened despite a complete re-instal for reasons unknown to me.
I recall quite similar issues way back where there were elements that went AWOL and there was a thread:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/missing-elements-visual-composer/
As Alin wrote in posting #77225 on Nov 3, 2015 at 9:28 am:

Hi,
I will add this on our list to be specified in the documentation how to enable all Visual Composer elements, as I see that many users have this issue. Glad that you managed to solve this!
Thanks!

Oh and by the way that nagging VC message persistently staying in the dashboard which I mentioned in the same thread (posting #77430) is STILL there after… I don’t know… 10 updates and at least complete 5 reinstalls of theme and all plugins:

All the best,

Hi,
The mobile version should not display in the desktop version as you can see on our live demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/.
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then test your site again and let us know if you still have issues with this.
Thank you!
Hi,
The scrolling is very ‘hard’ on your site but that does not come neither from the browser nor our smooth scrolling option from the previous version of the theme. This is most likely a plugin that causes it. Please try to deactivate all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files.
Thank you!
Hi
Make sure that you’re using V 4.11.2 of Visual Composer which is tested and works fine with V 4.5.2 of wordpress. Here you can check our update documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ After WordPress release V 4.5, Visual Composer V 4.9 or older won’t work properly because of a conflict.
Thanks!
Hi Bogdan. With all the issues surfacing all at once I’ve become somewhat jaded and frustrated. I have methodically followed the tutorials and nothing happened. Eventually I manually downloaded the new theme unpacked into a folder and then uploaded the Newspaper folder via FTP to then overwrote the appropriate folder on my server. Have eventually updated theme to 7. Set about changing look to Black Demo. More issues (It just has to be something I have configured wrong – dammed if I know). Still have issues with social icons not displaying correctly. Background black color not displaying at all. Web site is http://pigsfly.info. Following tutorial to create page and then use Visual Composer. More issues clicking an item does not install that item into page. Bob
Hi,
I have checked your site and the privacy poilicy works as expected. If you use the mobile theme, please note that using visual composer will not work anymore on this theme as visual composer was removed for the mobile theme in order to get better speeds. Please use the secondarry mce editor that appears on every page to create your pages for mobile without the use of visual composer.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you!
Hi,
The mobile theme will not show the elements on the desktop by default. It consists of 2 elements, a big grid that shows featured posts (they must belong to the predefined ‘featured’ category) and a latest articles section where your latest posts are shown. It;s pretty much like a category archive in order to get maximum page speed on mobile devices. It does not use visual composer at all.
Please make sure you have posts on your site so it has posts to display. (your site has no ‘posts’ only instagram widgets)
You can read more about the mobile theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Thank you
