Yesterday I updated several plugins, including Visual Composer, now my client can not use it because the visual composer elements (see screenshot) are not displayed. I’ve updated the theme, visual composer version I have is 4.8.1. Thank you very much.
Screenshot: http://www.periodicoelnazareno.es/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/screenshot-1.jpg
My previous WP update was made from the WP dashboard welcome screen and I assume that wouldn’t be a test version. I made a fresh instal of the theme deleting old version via ftp. Do i still have to update the visual composer manually or does it include the latest version of the plugin?
Although the issue seemed to have resolved yesterday after the update, its reiterating again. I use google chrome as my default browser. Checked with firefox and it works fine on there. Is there any other way to fix this once and all for chrome ?
Hi,
We’re helping a client to build a video site using newspaper theme, and the site needs to support simplified Chinese and English.I’ve read many comments on multi-language, so I understand the limitation but my specific questions are:
1. Is it possible to localize the WordPress newspaper theme admin panel to simplified Chinese. Currently, wp-admin can support multi-language, however the newspaper theme (theme panel) and page editor using Visual composer is only in English. Is there any way to localize?
2. For the front-end website, the theme can support simplified Chinese but I can’t do dynamic language selection; I can load simplified chinese language under Theme Panel, and the whole site will be in Chinese. But we want to provide a language selector on our site to allow users to toggle between English and Chinese. How can this be done? Technically, we should be able to dynamically load a different .mo files when the user toggles? Could you provide the simplified Chinese .po and .mo files for us to try?
Thanks
Hi
I am not sure how you’ve tried to activate the Visual Composer plugin as it 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.
If this is not what you mean please provie more details about your issue so I can inspect it closer and get back to you with a more accurate answer.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please ensure that you use the latest version of the theme and the Visual Composer plugin. We have tested on our side and everything seems to work as expected.
Please remove your current version of the plugin and delete files, and then install it again from the theme’s plugin section: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you for the message!
Hello travisnw,
Yes, you can use the Custom Heading from Visual Composer and set it to be H1 because is the same thing.
Thank you for the message!
Hello andantesash,
Unfortunately, this type of plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the behaviour of the theme with this type of plugin and also, we cannot say for sure that this will be working fine with our theme, sorry! Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Please keep in mind that this plugin can interact with the theme and can cause a lot of unknown issues in the theme and we cannot provide support for untested plugins.
Thank you for your understanding!

Hi There
Apologies if this is a stupid question but since upgrading Newspaper (or maybe it is coincidence) the visual composer will not load.
I am not sure what to do
Chris
PS I am a very basic user so any help would be appreciated
Hi guys,
I have tried several things:
– Re-installed wordpress
– Deleted theme + plugins and re-installed them
– Deleted cache
– Etc..
But I can’t get Visual Composer working with the Newsmag theme. It has worked in the past.
I get with F12 this error: Uncaught TypeError: $template.get is not a function
What can I do? I need to upgrade our frontpage (www.biblword.net). This a page is use as a frontpage, and the page is build (long time ago) with visual composer.
Can someone please help me?
Hello Socialfeed,
If you want to have this element in your homepage, you have to use Block 4 from Visual Composer. For more information about our blocks, please check our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thank you for the message!
HI
@Syambarkah Just replace the old line with new one, clear the cache memory, deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer then test again.
@AWAY FROM LIFE make sure you don’t use Speed Booster plugin, also deactivate all others plugins except Visual Composer then test again.
We do our best to solve this issue and an update will be released in shortest time.
Thanks for your understanding.
Hi
Sorry for this inconveniences.
This issue it’s caused by a jQuery conflict which affect the theme after latest wp update. We will release a new update in shortest time with all require fixes. Meanwhile leave the lazy load animation inactive or try to add this line of code in tagdiv_theme.js file as a temporary fix: http://screencast.com/t/Ur4jw4L6Z8
jQuery("a[href*='#']").click(function(e) {
Just replace the old line with new one, clear the cache memory, deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer then test again.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Chris,
Yes, you are right the latest version of Newsmag theme contains Visual Composer 4.9 and this creates issues on backend, you cannot edit the page. You can update to the 4.11 version as it works properly and also please make this change in the code – http://screencast.com/t/QeNhZNbdmCvk
If you(or other users) don’t have Visual Composer 4.11 please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will provide it until we release the theme update.
We will make some tests during the day and we will release an update as soon as possible.
Thanks!
Hello imrantareen26,
I have checked your website and I did not saw any issues in this regard -> http://screencast.com/t/Oy9vGxzIys Please provide some useful screenshots so I can identify the problem if it is. Also, try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Thank you for the message!
Hello tollywoodfans,
I have checked your website and I saw that you have some errors in your console, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ngmW8JEIcJ Also, I noticed that you are using some untested plugins into your website which could cause the js.errors Please try to remove all your plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
The settings you ask about actually come from the theme and not visual composer as content blocks are created by us so you do not need visual composer support, but theme support :).
Unfortunately the block settings will not filter custom post types with custom taxonomies. The content blocks were created with the standard post type and taxonomy in mind.
I ran a few tests with WPDownload Manager. You can filter the post types themselves and select the ones you want to display inside a block by the post id: http://screencast.com/t/82g7yT4Su, but unfortunately you cannot use the category filter as it will not accept the custom taxonomy. You can filter the post type manually though on each block.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Hello benj0612,
Unfortunately, this kind of plugin is not tested with our theme and we have no idea about the behaviour of the theme with this plugin. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. It is possible that this plugin to interfere with the theme and cause this kind of issue for your backend and in this case you have to disable and try to find another alternative in this case.
Please try this advice and if your problem is still there after this, please let us know.
Thank you for your understanding!
Issue is primarily with Visual Composer. I believe they (TagDiv) are waiting on WPbakery to update VC before TagDiv can push an update with the new version.
Also useful to go READ the changes to WordPress for each major full dot update vs ‘patch update.’ Note all the changes to how images work. This means generally you may need to regenerate your thumbs for the new compression optimizations.
Always keep BACK-UP of your working site, before doing ANY major update to WP, so you can seamlessly ROLL BACK to prior version. Good time to plan for that as it’s a basic WP admin skill everybody running a website that is more than a blog should learn.
I no longer provide help/support around these parts, but popped in to see how the fur was flying before I even attempted my updates. Also checked the VC support forum where everybody freaking out.
ALSO be aware that WP sometimes have its own inherent bugs — but normally those should have been tested by major plugin devs (ahem WPBakery you froods!) with the RC1 and RC2 versions prior to WP releasing latest build today as stable version.
Anyway…. just some feedback as long time lurker here (2.5 years so far … ) 🙂
Roll back if you can. Try disabling VC if you can’t.
Also good time to make sure you disable auto-updates of WP core files, if you don’t already do that.
Hi,
Unfortunately that layout will not work with our theme. Please follow this guide to properly use visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Other column layout besides the 3 columns shown in the guide will not work properly.
For a left sidebar, the best way to do it is create it in the widgets area and select it from the theme panel in the category layouts: http://screencast.com/t/6szFBB93
Thank you!
You’ll get the new version of Visual Composer plugin as soon as the team at TagDiv finishes testing the new version. You can’t update it on your end unless the new version of the plugin doesn’t come bundled up with an updated version of Newspaper. If you want automatic updates enabled for the composer plugin then you’ll have to buy the Visual Composer separately 🙂
Cheers!

TagDiv Newspaper Theme User
Hi,
You can use visual composer and the author box settings to do it. Simply split the row in 2 columns and add 2 author boxes like so: http://screencast.com/t/dPymvqIZ
You will need the author ID’s for the settings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Hello ankush,
Unfortunately, we cannot release the automatic update for Visual Composer because each new version of Visual Composer is still necessary to check deeper before launching this. If we will do as you say above, it would be more likely that the theme will not work as properly and probably you will request our help to fix that. Please keep in mind that we want to avoid these cases and we want that our theme to work as expected. I hope that you understand my message. If you disagree with this schedule, you can buy the Visual Composer plugin and all the issues that appear in our theme you will have to contact the Visual Composer support.
Thank you!
Hello armagri,
I have checked your website and source page and I noticed that you are using a lot of untested plugins which could interact with the theme and create a lot of unknown issues. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. After this, you should try to install your plugins one by one and check what is the culprit that cause this design issue and try to find an alternative and replace this plugin with another one which has the same functionality and implement in your theme and check how it work for you.
If you problem is still there without these kinds of untested plugins, please let us know.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hi,
Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. There could be a plugin conflicting with the setting. if it still does not work, then please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect this issue. Also provide a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thank you!
