Hello,
After update to WordPress 4.5, images not appearing on my site.
I know that it can be solved by updating themes and Visual Composer
I have update Visual Composer, but for the themes, I can’t update it because I have heavily modified it.
I just want to know which file should I edit, and code should I replace just to make sure the images works again?
Can I know which changes you make on the latest themes update? I need to changes manually because I have heavily modified the themes and impossible to update the themes directly
I have update Visual Composer, but still no images loaded
Hi,
in order to target a specific block, you need to assign an extra class to the row in visual composer that contains the block in question like so: http://screencast.com/t/LVDogXpx and then use the code with the class you assign to the row like so:
.yourcustomclassname .td_block_9 .td-post-author-name, .td_block_9 .td-post-date{
display: none;
}
Thank you!
Hi,
Before we take a look, please try to exclude a plugin conflict. Please disable ALL plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect it. Also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hi,
After the last update of the WP and the theme the TinyMCE its not working I only have to use the text area, also all buttons on the tool bar are not showing.
Pleas, how to fix this issue?
Hi
I’ve checked your site and the images are displayed fine now: http://screencast.com/t/gDQYvUbhx Also I’ve noticed that you’re using an older version of Visual Composer plugin. There is a chance to have some issues with its functionality as last WordPress’s update caused some conflicts with older versions of Visual Composer. If this happens update Visual Composer at V 4.11.2 which is included in theme’s path. Here is our update documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue
1) Deactivate ALL plugins except visual composer
2) Clear cache from the caching plugin you use. Also clear the browser’s cache http://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/
3) If you use a CDN server, please purge the cdn files.
If the problem is still there afterwards, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can log-in and inspect the issue. Please also include a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
Hi,
the smart lists are very sensitive to open HTML tags. You must inspect the post in text mode and check if the items have their own tags and that these are closed properly. Sometimes wordpress adds elements inside each-other’s tags if you only use the visual mode to create the content. Please test the smartlist on a dummy post and simply add a few titles and images without any complex elements and check if the paragraphs are closed properly and the heading tags as well.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi
You can use the theme without Visual Composer, there won’t be any issues with its functionality but you won’t be able to use any of theme’s blocks. Theme’s blocks demands by Visual Composer and can’t be used without it, but if you don’t want to use theme then the plugin is not required.
Thanks!
Hi,
This is because you updated WordPress to the latest version but not the theme and the Visual composer plugin.
Please update your theme using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
And also update the visual composer plugin like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Dear Friends,
I just purchased and installed your theme on a new site i’m using as a mockup. My eventual plan is to have it replace my company website.
For the first few days everything was working wonderfully. However, with the update to 4.5 and the update to the latest version of the theme, something wonky has happened to the Visual Composer Plugin.
I went through the steps of downloading the latest version of the theme and reinstalled the latest version of the plugin but this isn’t solving the problem (yet)
Essentially, I don’t have access to any of the Visual Composer buttons when I create a page or post. When I click not on the icon, it simply kicks me out to purchase Visual Composer separately.
When you visit the site (new.teachercast.net) You can see that everything looks great and that that the pages where I have included VC elements also work (http://new.teachercast.net/speaking/) however, I’m not seeing how to fix the issue where I can’t continue to create or edit these pages without the site kicking me out to purchase the plugin.
BTW: I LOVE THIS THEME!!!
Also …. on a side note: I can’t seem to update any of the user data for my authors. When I go into add any social info or bio info for the users, it simply ignores it when I hit save. Is this something you could also help me out with? I’m not sure who to turn to for this.
I can certainly create an admin account for you if needed.
Thank you for the help!

Hi,
The shortcode for the plugin appears on your site because you have the widget set either on a sidebar in the widgets area or in visual composer on pages. You need to remove it from there also if you want to remove the shortcodes.
Thank you!
Hi,
@Dhananjay, the Visual Composer plugin will work as before. they simply added a message for activation that does not interfere with any options or features of the plugin. You can ignore the message and use it the plugin like before.
@aph100 glad you managed to solve it. Please keep in mind that not all plugins work with our theme. This is the case with all premium theme as the code is custom and not all plugins can recognize it.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello Edward,
Glad too see you are doing well.
1) The code you are referring to in the sidebar is actually a social counter shortcode that does not get rendered because you do not have the plugin active. Either remove the social counter from the sidebar if you do not want to use it, or simply activate it from the plugins section.
2) This could be a plugin issue so please try to identify the plugin that causes it. please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the sidebar again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hi
That happens because you’re using latest version of WordPress which generate a jQuery conflict with V 2.3.5 or older of Newsmag. We updated the theme and included the latest version of Visual Composer, V 4.11.2, which is testes and works fine with WordPress. Also we fixed the jQuery conflict so try to update the theme and the VC plugin following our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ clear all caches and test again.
Thanks!

Can I run the theme without Visual composer? I’m not a fan of page builders – too much code and I would like to keep my site as light as possible. I’ve just installed it and it seems to run fine without it. Just checking with you that this won’t cause any major issues!? Let me know. Thanks. John
Thanks for your reply.
I’ve tried editing a sidebar using an Author box in the widget area however that seems limited to showing the authors name, pic, post count, comments and website in a list form and I can’t see a way to make it responsive (show the author box that matches the author of the current post).
Is there a way configure the author box widget to show a responsive author box like the one that appears at the end of each post that includes the authors biographical info. If not is there any code I can use in a visual editor widget to do that?
Thanks
Hi, Here are the screenshots:
1) When I set the two slider Blocks in home page that show all categories, its works fine! Screenshot
2) But when I set that show only one category, the slider dissapeared. Screenshot
3) The filtered category isn´t empty. Screenshot
I can´t show the site url, because isn´t published yet. If you give me an email I can send you the access.
The visual composer its actualiced.

Hi
This is a issue related with last WordPress’s update because of a Jquery error. We updated the theme and included the latest version of Visual Composer, V 4.11.2, which is testes and works fine with WordPress. Also we fixed the jQuery conflict so try to update the theme and the VC plugin following our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ clear all caches and test again.
Thanks!
Hello Kundurnews,
Please ensure that you have the latest version of Visual Composer (ver.4.11.2) and also, the latest version of the theme (v. 6.7.1).
Hope this helps!
If you problem is still there, please provide some useful screenshots so we can inspect this regard.
Thank you for the message!
Hello Dhananjay,
Please ignore this message because the Visual Composer is free and come bundled with our theme and you cannot activate it because we cannot provide you a license key for this.
Thank you for your understanding!
Andrei, thanks for your quick reply. Basically let me begin with the first problem. There was an update of wordpress that was available. I have updated my wordpress. Then suddenly, I realised that my visual composer was not working. So, the elements were frozen, and the configuration of this visual composer was different.
As a result, I couldn’t drag and drop new boxes from visual composer. When I published the home page, all the videos on the homepage were frozen. But when you click on the video and go to its page, the video is available and working.
After several attempts to figure out the problems, I deleted the entire website, included wordpress. I uploaded wordpress again and then uploaded newsmag file. I have followed the instructions on the plugins that come with it, included visual composer.
The problem did not solve. I realised that the plugin of the visual composer was probably the cause of the problem. So, I decided to load it from the file in my computer and follow your instructions. It did not solve the problem.
I came to realise that there was a new visual composer. Its message reads:Welcome to Visual Composer 4.11
Congratulations! You are about to use most powerful time saver for WordPress ever – page builder plugin with Frontend and Backend editors by WPBakery. Although from your documentation, there was a clear indication that newsmag comes with visual composer, I decided to go ahead and buy this new visual composer.
It has to be activated and now all the functions of visual composer have been restored. I can drag boxes and place them on the home page.
But when you publish the home page, the problem is still there. The videos on the home page are frozen while the videos in individual pages are working.
I hope I have made myself more comprehensive.
Thanks for your help.

Hello kuduc_bmw,
Please ignore this message because the Visual Composer is free and come bundled with our theme and you cannot activate it because we cannot provide you a license key for this.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi
Visual Composer plugin comes bundled with our theme and you don’t need any activation code for it. You can ignore the activation message because basically when you bought our theme you got a license for all plugins included in its path.
Thanks!
