Hi
I want to deactivate & hide the Newspaper tab in Admin Panel for other Admins on my website so they won’t be able to change any of these settings at all. Since I need to give other users full access to create new pages & posts using Visual Composer I need to create other users as ‘Admin’ & not as ‘Editor’. Editor user in my site is unable to create new page or post.
Can you tell me how to achieve this?
I liked this theme a lot & in next month also I am going to purchase one more for my personal website. In that also I need same setting. If not possible in this version I request you to make such provision in next upgrade.
So what do your error logs say?
Server out of memory, CPU overloaded ?
Try further optimizations that can overload site
a) disable all pings/ XML-RPC
b) disable visual composer, and use the SHIM plugin from Radu (see my optimization thread and archives); disable loading VC on post pages
c) make sure you have plenty of RAM allocated to WP (e.g., big site, 256M vs 40M makes huge diff)
d) make sure you have system in place to stop overloads from bots, like the limit login attempts plugin that blocks IPs from bots trying to guess password for admin
e) [ etc ]
Hello emil86,
Unfortunately, you cannot have the video player to run in full width but only on the width of our theme, as you can see in our “Sport demo”, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/2ESUICCBiB If you want to have the same player, you have to use Video Playlist for YouTube from Visual Composer and place this element in stretch RAW, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/3kVSw6hez Please notice that in our demo is used background image and in this case, the layout of the theme will be automatically boxed. Also, if you do not want the padding for your playlist, you have to remove them with o bit of CSS code, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/UC7w6XLJ
-> the code -> http://screencast.com/t/YNwNw74N7f
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
Unfortunately time does not allow us to provide any customization services. We can offer support for anything related with the theme, help uses understand how its features works or fix any bugs related with the theme. Designing your website it’s a task which falls beyond the support can offer you at the moment. We would have gladly made it for you but we are a small team and we are working very hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
We did try to make the theme as user friendly as possible and also for any details about its features you can read our documentation or ask here how a specific feature works.
For example if you want to change the videos displayed in your playlist just edit the page and in Visual Composer locate the playlist block and change the videos ids: http://screencast.com/t/azJNT21kw7MJ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-video-playlist/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello emil86,
If you want to have the YouTube player like our sport demo, you have to add it from Visual Composer like this -> http://screencast.com/t/H80UCU4A7c according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-2/ If you want to reduce the padding you have to use a bit of CSS code to remove them, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/jctEXLpt
If you need more assistance in this regard, pleae provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thanks.
Hello,
this type of issues usually occur due to plugin conflicts. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check your mobile menu again. If you use a child theme, please try to activate the main theme to see if the problem does not come from there.
Let us know.
Thank you!
Hello,
Could anybody help? I have four issues now (on the local side i did not have it)
1 All the video’s don’t show their featured images (they used to get them automatically when publishing)
2 I cannot activate the Div social counter, this is one of the errors it gives. [td_block_social_counter custom_title=”STAY CONNECTED” facebook=”tagDiv” twitter=”envato” youtube=”envato”]
3 I want to change the front page but my old frontpage does show visual composer. Secondly i don’t know how to change the front page.
4 The sidebars don’t show visual composer.
Your help is appreciated.

Hello,
Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files. Also if you have custom modifications revert them to the theme defaults, and if you use a child theme, please activate the main theme. Check again afterwards.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.

Hi,
Every post template has a specific class you can check here: http://screencast.com/t/GgiEwozGrpSQ
You can add multiple conditions to the code if you wish to change it.
As for the plugin, we are not sure how the plugin works. You will need to use the implementation method specified by the plugin author. If you want to modify this behavior, we cannot offer any suggestions as we have not tested the plugin and have no idea of it;s functionality.
For the third part, there is no benefit at all, as different versions of visual composer will not work with pur theme properly except for the one that comes bundled with our theme. Please use just the version you can install from here: http://screencast.com/t/iuv6drOf (we will update the plugin along with the theme)
Thank you!
Hello,
Please make sure you have everything selected in screen options: http://screencast.com/t/Zp1RqJlq9
If the settings still do not show up if everything is checked, then please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files (if you use it). There could be a plugin conflict that interferes with the settings.
Let us know.
thank you!
Hello,
This issue is most of the time caused by plugin conflicts. Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check your featured images again.

Hi, I want to start working on the code,
$current_categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
foreach ($current_categories as $category){
if ($category->cat_name == ‘Vogue’){
$td_default_site_post_template = ‘single_template_6’;
}
}
$current_categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
foreach ($current_categories as $category){
if ($category->cat_name == ‘Vogue’){
$td_post_theme_settings[‘td_post_template’] = ‘single_template_6’;
}
}
Ok, the category here is Vogue, what is the name of the post template used. I am thinking ‘single_template_6’ right?, just want to know the name of the post template and can I use it for more than one category
Secondly, I uploaded AccessPress Social Counter plugin, how do I make the widget available on the Elements window so I can use it in the visual composer.
Thirdly, Is there any benefit of upgrading the visual composer to pro?
Thanks for all your help.
Hello Andrii,
I have checked your website and I saw the problem. 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. This issue might be caused by interference between your untested plugins and our theme and it is possible to appear errors. Please check our demo and there you can see that the problem does not appear. -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/category/tagdiv-lifestyle/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
I don’t mean to drag this on, but I just want to clarify one point. I’m not bothered about what’s in the code, but rather what it says in the UI when editing a page. It says, “Note: The settings from this box only work if you do not use visual composer on this template. The template detects if visual composer is used and it removes the title and sidebars if that’s the case.”
However, that didn’t seem to be the case, which is what sent me to go looking in the code. As I said, for a person who’s just starting out, I think there’s enough stuff to figure out without the confusion over this.
Hello,
If the sorting option worked before, then pleased try to figure out what changed since a few days ago. Did you change a few settings or installed a new plugin? Usually things do not happen without a reason. Please check a few options that are required for the 7 days sorting:
1) the option active in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/Aigw5YYXL
2) the Ajax post view count: http://screencast.com/t/DxPIvWusbwvQ
3) The post views themselves as this option relies on views: http://screencast.com/t/Yz3Qo9I6
If you have all of these options checked and the counter does not work, please try to refresh your post page and see if the view counter increments. If it does not work, please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Then check the post views again.
let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello griseltolstow,
In order to achieve best results, 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. After you have done this, please consult the guide below and then check your social counter and see how it works.
1) Please make sure you have the latest theme version: 6.6.5. If not, you need to follow this guide to update your theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
2) Having the latest version of the theme is not enough if you do not update the social counter as well. You need to remove the current version you use: http://screencast.com/t/4jvRwNzK and then install the version of the plugin that comes with the 6.6.5 theme: http://screencast.com/t/9AKKURjTjX
You can recognize if you have the correct version of the plugin when you see the new app key settings: http://screencast.com/t/CIXxklBanNl If you do not have these settings in your social counter it means you do not have the correct version.
3)You need to follow this guide to get the requirements from facebook:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/
Please keep in mind that the social counter is not a live count. It will update once every few hours.
Once you followed all the above steps properly and made sure you have not missed anything, (and the social counter still does not work), then you can send an email to contact@tagdiv.com with your login information so we can further inspect the issue. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can know who you are and what the issue is.
Hope this helps!

We have fixed this fb social counter issue in latest theme version, V 2.3.5 and latest version of the social counter plugin, so please make sure you use the latest version of the plugin, V 3.1 and that you configure the fb counter like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ Also you have to use the lates version of Visual Composer included in theme path, V 4.9.2: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/

Hi
Please check our documentation regarding the Social; Counter plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ and also we have a tutorial for youtube playlists here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-video-playlist/ You just need to edit the page Using Visual Composer plugin and add your modification as you need: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
Let me know how it goes and if you need further assistance please provide more details so I can get back to you with a more accurate answer.
thanks!
Hi Andrei,
thanks for the response. I’ve figured this on my own in the meantime when digging though the the API files, I’m in a rush:)
Now, this doesn’t work – it throws a Fatal error, when I put it into the plugin file. This is because the plugins are initiated before the themes, so I had to put it into a separete file and load that file on in a hook like this:
class uep_api_plugin {
/* vars and functions are here */
add_action(‘td_wp_booster_loaded’, array($this, ‘hook_uep_booster_after’));
public function hook_uep_booster_after() {
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/widgets/td_widget_tagcloud.php’);
}
}
IMHO this is a little complicated. Have you considered allowing developers register a widget with some boolean parameter in the td_api_block::add() method?
Something like:
td_api_block::add(‘td_block_tagcloud’,
array(
‘map_in_visual_composer’ => true,
‘register_widget’ => true,
)
);
…And then creating and registering a class for each widget in the array?
Cheers
Hi,
Well you can add images of the videos if you want and link them directly to the youtube link. You can use the single image element of visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/ciIe7lAgvP
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
The solution I provided works only with shortcodes from Visual Composer so you have to use a video player like here in order to work: http://screencast.com/t/INPzaKOP4T – http://screencast.com/t/dx0Z4dKrMV
This is an example code which will work with do_shortcode function:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkeZA6JU3Zw"][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>
The featured video don’t generate shortcode now and you will need a custom implementation to achieve that. You can take a look here for more details about how shortcodes works: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_shortcode and evantualy try to create a new shortcode for the featured video.
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi
1. I’ve checked your site and the category tags are displayed fine on my side: http://screencast.com/t/4jQOZUyUvw If you still have this issue try to clear all caches and test again.
2. You can use a 2/3+1/3 layout in Visual Composer to display the sidebar on page. This can be achieved following these links: http://screencast.com/t/EPaV6XDTAB24 – http://screencast.com/t/8MBHeShtfd Here is the shortcode from Visual Composer: http://pastebin.com/tPmFzQmf – http://screencast.com/t/HDYTBtnHO5w
You can use it as example then customize the page in the same way. I used the smart sidebar to have it scrolling down along with the page: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-smart-sidebar/
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
