Hello,
This can be caused by either plugins or theme customization. If you have customization done, please make a back-up and revert the theme to it’s default state. If there are no modifications to the theme files, then please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check your categories again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
There seems to be some css there that gets rewritten. The trending now block element does not get the negative margin anymore so it creates a bit of space above the content. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
Hello,
You can ignore the visual composer update as we can only update the plugin along with our theme as we are the ones providing it, not the plugin author. You can ignore the update message. Please use the version of visual composer that comes with the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
As for the menu, please remove the css as I see you changed the menu. Every custom css applies to that particular layout. If you change anything like add a menu item or a top-menu, the css will probably not work properly anymore. Please remove the css and provide a link to your website and details about your problem. Also provide a screenshot of the css you have in the custom css box as I suspect it’s the logo that has been changed and it’s affecting the sticky menu.
Thank you!
Hello marketingapex7,
Please ensure that you have right inserted the code in that field. I have checked your website and the theme display the ad container but it is empty as you can see here-> http://screencast.com/t/ifC9cxwRGhg . Please check your Adsense code to be valid because it seems that is not working as properly. Please notice that the theme only displays the code which you have inserted in the ads filed and do not affect the structure of the code. If your problem persists, I recommend you to address at Google Adsense for checking your ad code because they will be able to provide a more accurate response about the structure and functionality of the code. As you can notice, everything related to the theme is executed but if the code is broken, I cannot provide any support because I am not able in this case, sorry! Also, please try without untested plugins and see how it works. Try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache and rule out the conflicting plugins.
Thank you for your understanding!

If you problem is still there after this advice and if you need more assistance in this regard, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect it closer and also so I will be able to provide a more accurate response because I can’t recreate your problem on my side.
Thank you for your understanding!

Checking the changelog for Visual Composer is good place to check on compatibility with PHP7.
As of January, there was still the issue with VC and PHP7:
A problem related to this piece of code:
PHP Notice: Array to string conversion. in that line of code:
$param_value = isset( $$param['param_name'] ) ? $$param['param_name'] : '';
that code used in a lot of files in js_composer/include/classes/shortcodes/ folder.
Hi
I’ve checked your some js errors in browser console. This error seems to theme functionality when the ajax it’s used or js it’s required. http://screencast.com/t/RFhqqYf1jw
Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let us know how it goes and if the problem persist please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials and we will inspect this issue as soon as possible, also include a link to this topic.
Thanks!
I just wanted to ask how the Newspaper theme deals with Featured Images.
Featured Images display as various different sizes depending on the page that they’re being viewed on and the blocks that I’ve chosen within Visual Composer.
Therefore, am I right in thinking that the theme will re-size the images depending on their location within the site? If that’s the case, should I be uploading Featured Images as large as possible to allow them to be used in as many different places as possible?
Can anyone recommend a good size for my Featured Images to be?
Thanks very much!
Hello ihora,
I have found your website through your other topics and I have checked your page source and I found some untested plugins, as you can see HERE -> http://screencast.com/t/zuQyclcc Please try my advice that I gave you above because it is very important for good results. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and WP Super cache activated and install ONLY the plugins that come bundled with our theme. Your untested plugins (Facebook comments, Cookie Law Info, The Events Calendar,Jetpack) could interfere with the theme and WP super cache and might cause this kind of issue. I suppose that your problem come from this. Please trying this advice and if your problem persists after this, please let us know.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello ihora,
Until now, we do not have bad reports about Wp super cache regarding this case. Please ensure that this issue does not come from your untested plugins which you are using to your site. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer and WP super cache, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. It is necessary to follow this advice because if you are used untested plugins these could interfere with the theme and create some errors in the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hi
I am creating pages using the news template amongst others. When the demo is installed i can see the big grid on the top of the page. Looking at the filter i see it is pulling from all categories. I change the filter to pull only items with one of the ‘real’ categories from my site and nothing shows. Is there something i am missing? I am only testing the site so i have not activated the licence yet. Does that have any bearings? I also deinstalled the demo and again the same behaviour. In short regardless of what category filter i use (including all categories when no demo installed) The big grid does not appear. I inspect the source and i can see the div placeholder but no javascript saying how many items have been filtered… (which is visible when in demo mode)
I have the latest newspaper theme and visual composer downloaded from your site.
Thanks
Amir
Hi
I’ve checked your site and the featured images are displayed fine now: http://screencast.com/t/E0FIYlulUued However I found some js errors in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/dLe4SVsCa These errors could be caused by some plugins which conflict with theme’s js. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches then test your site again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello Marto,
I suppose it is a time difference on your side. Please ensure that you have correct set your timezone from your WordPress and also please make sure that you local time are the same with your real time, from this -> http://screencast.com/t/r74r1y2MATM I have checked the code from this feature and the function which compare the time uses local time. Also, 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.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello todaybase,
If you want to change your permanent text with an image, you have to use the do_shortcode method. First of all, you have to create your image with the desired link from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/H6zqscKH -> http://screencast.com/t/u3Bp3gu6aIgo and then you have to add this code, as an example in loop-single-1.php after your content, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/yzZw46rFvw
The code from y example look like this ->
<?php echo '<a href="http://todaybase.com/paul-okoye-talks-his-new-label-and-his-two-artists/" target="_blank" rel="attachment wp-att-932"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-932" src="http://localhost/ziar_6/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/p2-198x300.jpg" alt="p2" width="198" height="300" /></a>'?>;
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks.
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no solution for this as those column layouts are not supported by our theme. Please read this guide to see how to properly use visual composer:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hi,
The titles you mention are block titles. You will have to edit the page in visual composer and click the little pencil icon to edit blocks: http://screencast.com/t/bCUf5aNt28S9
Please follow this guide on visual composer:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you!
Hi,
If you want to insert a html code in posts, you can access text mode: http://screencast.com/t/CGl4ni76ZEYW and add your code there. There are no content blocks that are designed to work on posts, but you can use visual composer on posts if you activate the option from the visual composer plugin but keep in mind that visual composer is not tested to work on posts so you could get mixed results.
Thank you!
Hello,
The mobile back-end should work properly. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. There could be a plugin conflict that interferes with the mobile version.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. This is most likely a plugin conflict. (I’m not sure about your second part of the message: “What I want is configured to load the background even mobile and tablet version.” Please try to explain better.)
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi Andrei, good job!
I’ve managed to make the upper part of the skin “cliccable” and also to preserve the post visualization. Now the upper part of the skin is cliccable on PC (even if I resize the browser window reducing its viewport width) but on the iPad. In fact tapping the skin on an iPad doesn’t fire the linked URL as expected. What could be the problem?

Hello guadaltech,
Please ensure that your website is not affected by the plugin’s interferences with the theme. 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 necessary to do this because your untested plugins could cause some errors in the theme and could modify the functionality of this type of post template.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
If your problem is still there after these changes, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect the issue and so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
At the moment, there is no difference between the mobile version and the desktop version of our theme. There is no option to change content based on the device used. It can be done with a bit of css if you want. You will need to add an extra class to the latest articles code like so: http://screencast.com/t/736ZoMZatS
Make sure you set your sidebar to none: http://screencast.com/t/Y3UVEVcvie (you can still use a sidebar by splinting your visual composer rows in a 2/3 and 1/3 layout)
Now you can use css to target the latest articles and hide it for desktop and tablets:
@media (min-width:767px){
.mycustomclass{
display:none!important
}
}
Thank you!
Hello imrantareen26,
1)I suppose that you want to place the Social Counter for your page. For doing that you have to use Visual Composer and select the Social Counter element like this -> http://screencast.com/t/UC2bosZaD and then you can place it everywhere you want to your page. For more information about Social Counter, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
2)If you want to use a slider with the sort by latest, you have to use Big Grid Slide from Visual Composer and you can set the ordering from its panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/n2AVIc4dq9l
3)Please keep in mind that you do not need the license for your Visual Composer because this plugin will become bundled with our theme and the license are included in the theme package. Please ensure that you have correctly installed this kind of plugin according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
If is not what you mean and you need more assistance in this regard, please provide more details about your desired changes or what types of features are not aware using them, so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
