This plugin, easist way created new block and module.
[td-api-plugin]
– is a sample plugin that uses the theme api to add a new module, a new block. This plugin is a very good starting point if you wish to add your own modules or just modify a block / module from the theme.
– the new module can be used on loops
– the new block appears in visual composer
– the theme api documentation is here: http://forum.tagdiv.com/the-theme-api/

Hi,
The tagDiv Composer is the theme builder and Visual Composer is a secondary builder.
Important Note: Do not use both page builders on the same page!
If you are using Page Builder + Latest Articles + Pagination please check this documentation -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-2/, or you can use the default template and add with tagDiv Composer a post loop -> https://www.screencast.com/t/hufwBavcZBJ
Thank you.
In my web I use the Newspaper 9 gaming theme.
I want to add a navigation button with a fixed position when the user accesses using mobile on each posting page and page.
Screenshot : https://pasteboard.co/HZJ2fIP.jpg
I want add this code :
<div class="navbar">
<a href="#"><i class="tds-icon td-icon-whatsapp"></i><br>WA</a>
<a href="#"><i class="tds-icon tdc-font-tdmp tdc-font-tdmp-old-phone"></i><br>TELP</a>
<a href="#"><i class="tds-icon td-icon-whatsapp"></i><br>WA</a>
</div>
I have used these 3 ways:
1. Newspaper > Theme Panel > Custom Code > {add script html}
2. Add html scripts on wp-content/themes/newspaper/footer.php and wp-content/themes/newspaper/mobile/footer.php
3. Add html script with visual composer.
I used this method successfully, but only on the front page.
how can the script that I use be used on every page, post page ?
Hi,
I’m worried what’s the right order to update themes and plugins.
Right now: WP 4.9.9 / Newsmag 4.3 / Visual Composer 5.01 / PHP 7.1
What’s the recommended way to avoid potential trouble? First theme, then Composer, then WordPress to 5.03? Over other way round?
Bonus question: Revolution slider (which I never used as far as I can see) caused some ugly memory limit-problems when I updated to the latest version. Can I drop this plugin completely? Or do Visual-Composer and/or Newsmag need files and features from this plugin?
Thanks for your support

Hi,
I’m struggling a bit with the layout of my page as the tagDiv composer is quite different than visual composer. I want to have a page where the content is in the middle, and i have a right and left sidebar. I’m replacing the theme of this site https://www.westislandblog.com/ with newspaper 9. The client has a series of advertisements and content, that we’ve set up in the sidebar widgets that we pick and choose depending on the page. WE have a right and left one. How can i set up somethign like this in my draft site http://www.motherhoodincorporated.ca/westislandblog? I’ve used the default demo as my starting point.
I’ve also tried to get the content to spread out wider, i’d like the whole page not to have that more boxed in look, but span the width of the page, can you help me do that?.
Also how

Hi,
If you want to use the Visual Composer you-ll need to install it from the package -> https://www.screencast.com/t/yIfqlFbGj -> https://www.screencast.com/t/2x1uuXShaOz -> https://www.screencast.com/t/rhZuauyn2H8V
Here is our documentation for how to use Visual Composer -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hi, I want to use the Original Visual Composer, but the zip file is missing in the package… only td-composer.zip.
Hello,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using a lot of untested plugins with the theme, sorry! Please remove all of these and leave just to active only the plugins which come bundled with the theme core files, clear all the caches and check the results. Also, we recommend using the TD Composer page builder which is more powerful and adapted with our theme. Also, if you choose to use the Visual Composer, you need to use only the recommended layout from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/UixyjXT2F Otherwise, you can bring some bad results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi There,
I just bought this theme on Friday. I went to install in on my site tonight and am having trouble getting visual composer installed. I have been to: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Which is great, except I checked every folder and can not find the path to js_composer.zip. I only have td_composer! This is the path where I found the plugins i could find:
themeforest-9512331-newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper-wordpress-theme.zip\Newsmag\includes\plugins
Please get back to me on what I should do.
Hi! I don’t use tagDiv Composer plugin on my theme, becouse I edit post and pages on WordPress backend by Visual Composer.
Is it mandatory that I have tagDiv Composer plugin installed and activated if I am not using it? Does it affect the speed of my web?
Thanks for the support, best regards.
Hi,
Plea note that you can not use the both builders on the same page, if your website was build with WPBakery, that pages can be edit only with WPBakery not with tagDiv Composer
Please check our documentation -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
tagDiv Composer tutorial -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
How to use Visual Composer -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
If there are still some problem please provide some more details and some screenshots, that would be very helpful.
Thank you.
Hi,
I have recently updated the Newspaper theme with the latest version 9. The previous version of the website was built with WPBakery and after trying to use the new TagDiv Composer i haven’t been able to make it work properly (slow, cannot delete rows etc.) I read the instructions on how to setup PHP.ini and Htacess (default values) and still it doesn’t work. After disabling TagDiv Composer i was able to get the homepage running like it used to be and decided not to use TagDiv Composer for now.
Could you help me with activating TagDiv Composer?
Secondly, I’m not able to visually edit tables like i used to before the update. What seems to be the problem? If you need the credentials to access the website and cpanel please let me know how could i send you this information.
Many Thanks,
Dejan
Hi – I currently have four articles on my home page, arranged in a square.
I want to add a block below, split into two even sections horizontally, to add an article by another author on the left hand column and a video into the right hand column.
I can’t work out how to use Visual Composer, or Block Editor, or whatever else I’m supposed to be doing, to add a new section/block/whatever it would be called.
Thanks
So I am trying to get third party shortcodes to work within the Newspaper Theme using the tagDiv Composer, when I try and paste in the shortcode using a variety of different elements all it does is displays the shortcode as if it was text.
I read that you should use the Column Text Element for shortcodes, but there is no way to save the edit to the content within the element. When I click the Edit Content button I get a WP Editor but there is no Save option. Just an Add Media button (that also doesn’t work) or to switch between Visual and Text (which also doesn’t work). I have tried re-installing tagDiv, redownloading the theme from the website and pulling out that plugin since I can’t find tagDiv in the plugin search in WP.
If anyone knows how to fix either issue, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
I am replying to my old question because I have a new question about logo header images
and I can’t find a way in my account to submit a New Question.
Question January 12, 2019 —
I’m using the Newsmag 4.7 Fashion Magazine Demo install but want to revamp it into more of a Commentary & articles site. I kept “Fashion” because I like the styling.
I want to use a HEADER LOGO up to 1024 px (or greater) in Width
& I have a version up to 2500 px wide by 500 px height.
I want a Retina Image HEADER Style (the LOGO is already IN the Header image) that is responsive, full width when the browser reports it & then responsive scaling of the header down to Mobile setting.
Besides changing CSS files, what is the most direct way to alter necessary files so that NewsMag offers another Header Style with my preferences?
Using Header Style 8, despite the media library settings for this Header Image, my header image, though loaded with correct W & H pixels, only loads to the default max LOGO image in Newsmag which I guess is 572px.
What is being loaded from the Media Library is correct — width=”1199″ height=”245″ —
<img src="https://www.mytest.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/olympus-header-copy5-2500.png" width="1199" height="245" />
BUT the Newsmag page surrounds the same image with this instead–
<div class="td-header-sp-logo">
<h1 class="td-logo"><a href="https://www.mytest.com/">
<img src="https://www.mytest.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/header-copy5-2500.png" alt="" width="572" />
<span class="td-visual-hidden">View from Olympus</span>
</a>
</h1> </div>
I’d like to apply something like this generated with the Demo install–
`
<div class="td-full-screen-header-image-wrap"><div id="td-full-screen-header-image" class="td-image-gradient"><div class="td_marker_animation" style="height: 0; width: 0"></div>
</div></div>
Are there php files where I should also modify the generation page preferences besides overwriting the default CSS?
Thank you for having the patience to read this!

Hi,
1. You can do the change is no need to hire some developer to do that, please check this topic -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/sidebar-on-visual-editor/
2. Unfortunately with our theme this is the only way to set the Instagram in posts with out using builders, sorry.
Maybe you can use some plugins to do that, to set a shortcode in post content.
Thank you.
1. The annoying feature is having an imaginary sidebar dividing the Visual Editor for no logical reason.
2. Yeah, I know, the Instagram widget can appear in the sidebar- I was looking for a way to display it in a post without having to use a page builder.
1. So it appears there’s no way to add an Instagram widget using WP’s Visual Editor? I have to use the theme’s drag and drop editor? I wanted to be able to display Instagram images like this:
https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/instagram-widget/
2. In Visual Editor, there’s this weird Sidebar that takes up half the composer page. Can this be removed? Example:
Hi,
The theme does use ajax for many elements. Ajax issues usually come from excessive usage of features that use ajax, like block pagination, ajax block filtering etc. Some similar topics
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/admin-ajax-php-issues/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/admin-ajax-php-bandwidth-hog/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/high-cpu-usage-and-caching-issues/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/100-cpu-when-using-visual-composer-after-site-migration/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/theme-causing-high-cpu-usage-2/
You could take this into account, also maybe try the plugin mentioned. Then monitor the situation to see if there are improvements.
Thanks
Hi,
There are two page builders provided with the theme, the tagDiv composer which is the main page builder and we recommend using it to build pages and cloud templates, and the WPBakery page builder (former Visual composer)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
To have access to the cloud library templates, the cloud library plugin has to be active
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
The revolution slider is included in the theme package, you can use it fully and there is no need to activate it in any way (bundled version). Please ignore/close the activation messages coming from the plugin.
There are demo sliders made by us in the package which can be imported, but you can create your own sliders as well
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/
The WPBakery, mobile theme and revolution slider plugins are present in the theme plugins panel but can’t be installed from there, only manually.
Please let me know if you have more questions, or you need help with something.
Thanks
Hi All,
I have copied all the plugins from the uncompress zip file plugins folder, I have activated all the plugins ( I can see only a plugin called WPBakery Page Builder which I did not activate, because I am not sure if it is related to the theme or not), in the slider plugin I can see it asking for the purchasing code to activate it, and it did not accept the code from the newspaper theme, and I do not know if this is an issue or not.
From theme level, plugin tab I see that the slider plugin, mobile theme, and the visual composer are not active, and I do not know how to solve this, can you please help?
Hi,
WPBakery Visual Composer is just a composer ( is optional if you want to use it ), you can use the TagDiv Composer this one is made spacial for our theme.
In order to update it you need to have the last version of the theme fill all files from themeforest, after that in plugins you’ll see the js_composer, you’ll need to deactivate and delete the old version and install the new one ( the new version of plugin ).
Thank you.
Hi,
Unfortunately, we do not recommend using the TD Composer and Visual Composer at the same time because might appears some issues in the theme, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
