Hi,
You can add your custom ad in an ad box in visual composer and then get the sortcode for it. For example
[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]
Then you can use the do_shortcode function like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_ad_box spot_id="custom_ad_1"]')?>
Then you can insert this code directly in one of the post template files: http://screencast.com/t/XcVZQFqLiS
Add the code where you want it to appear: http://screencast.com/t/JiV0WVpXx
Thanks.
Hello,
Please check the sorting option you added to your blocks. They might not be sorted by ‘latest’
If this is not the case, you can try to increase the system status parameters https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
If the problem is still there, then please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files (if you use it)
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hello,
1) You simply need to ad the ad title in order to get them aligned: Please use the adbox for your ads:
http://screencast.com/t/pp2ggA0uB5y (It requires the use of the ads section in the theme panel.)
2) You can add a custom css class to a row in visual composer and then use css to style it
for example: http://screencast.com/t/52xQ9CzHPL and then use css to add borders:
.mycustomrow{
border:2px solid black;
}
It will require further customization though
3) That is because you have a different implementation of the title. You use a text with title and since it’s a different element. Again you will have to use a custom class on your row because this css will affect every other text with title:
.td_block_text_with_title {
padding-bottom: 5px!important;
}
after you add the custom class you would use the code like so:
.mycustomclass .td_block_text_with_title {
padding-bottom: 5px!important;
}
4)You can use this css:
.type-post .entry-title a, .type-post textarea{
color:black!important;
}
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
Hello,
Unfortunately this update from such an old version will be like switching to a whole different theme. Lots of things have changed in the meantime.
1)
a. You can turn off the slider animation from the lazyload setting: http://screencast.com/t/1e7GmiXoK3r
b. You can use this custom css to remove it only from the big mkodule:
.td_module_mx9 .td-post-author-name{
display:none!important;
}
c. The images are to blame here, not the grid itself. You need to regenerate your thumbnails using the “force regenerate’ plugin
2) Unfortunately the gallery format was removed so if you have double images n your posts, you will either have to remove the doubles by hand or use post style 5 which does not display the featured image.
3) This is the position of the pagination in the current theme. Please check how it should display on our live demo here: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
4) Unfortunately the article titles in modules and blocks can only be changed with css as the theme has no option to change their color. (you can change the active hover color from visual composer block settings as seen on our demo homepage.)
You can use this code to change the titles:
.td_module_wrap .entry-title a{
color:blue!important
}
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
Please try to see if you meet the requirements for newspaper: https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
(You might have to contact your hosting) and also please check your system status: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
If the problem is still thre, please try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. If the error is still present, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can inspect this issue. Please also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hi,
The travel demo uses the background image a bit different. It has it set on the row in visual composer. You need to edit your homepage and access row settings: http://screencast.com/t/Z2VHdgzUTuV3
Thank you!
Hello pasqualino77,
This feature is tested with our theme and works as expected in default mode. 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 untested plugins used by you and could create some js errors.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
M15 does not have a read more button, but M14 does. I tested this on my end but the theme color (in my case purple) is set to the read more button as well: http://screencast.com/t/6GVe8aWMr
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it as sometimes plugins can interfere with the css.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello srampia,
The problem with block 1 happens due you do not use a correct image in for this kind of thumb, as you can see in this screenshot -> http://screencast.com/t/2hj5uR1b In order to achieve best results, please consult the guide below ->
Our theme uses a lot of predefined thumbnails in blocks and modules. If you check the Theme panel->Block settings area you can see the list with all dimensions of the thumbs wich is used in the theme and which elements -> blocks/modules uses -> http://screencast.com/t/tQuimSer9 If you want to exclude the cropping system wich you have to use the right dimension for your images.
Our theme uses the system of cropping from center to top. The theme uses thumbs to reduce the page size and speed up page loading time. From each image uploaded are generated thumbs for each thumb size used by the theme. Basically, when a post it’s displayed on the page in a block, the featured image displayed is not the one which you uploaded in the media file, it’s a thumb cropped from the original image at the precise dimension. To change the picture orientation most likely you will need a different cropping system. We use a WordPress function – add_image_size() – you can read about it here – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size – and here – http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
Our theme crop (cut) thumbnails in some cases to avoid creating a lot of thumbnails in order to reduce to load more spaces on the server.
If you don’t have the possibility to upload large images you could use a combination of plugins to upscale the thumbs – Thumbnail Upscale and Force Regenerate.
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!
Thanks for your response.I think the problem is with the php.ini settings.
My host provider 123 Reg have confirmed that I cannot increase the max_execution_time over 30 seconds as this is the default value set for the whole shared hosting platform. Does this mean i can never use the demo’s properly.
I can upload images under 2mb as this is what the max is set to.
I also cannot see any images on my website that have been uploaded. I made a intro demo post and also uploaded a lgo but the images dont show. Could this have anything to do with the above? I looked in the forum and it may be to do with plugins, but the only active plugins I have are BBpress, Revolution Slider & WPBakery Visual Composer.

Many Thanks!
Hello St,
I suspect this strange behaviour of the theme that might be caused by interference between your untested plugins and our theme. Please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all cache, purge CDN file if you used and instal only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. The background is tested with our theme by default and works as expected.
Thank you for the message!
Hello Andrii,
Please keep in mind that the offset that you are set it from Visual Composer is totally different than Category Grid. The offset for Category Grid is set it by default by the theme and you have no control over this and what you say it is not possible, maybe you make confusion between them. If you have another problems and you need more assistance, please provide your website URL so I can further inspect the problems. Also, you can provide some useful screenshots for better understanding.
Thank you for your message!
Hello fesburg101,
Please do not confuse the Theme panel with Visual Composer. If you want to do changes for your Homepage, you have to customize it from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/PylE0NW9 and if you want to change your Category page, you have to do changes from Theme panel->Category section, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/ywdcPkPsfd3 this is two different elements. For more information about how to use Visual Composer, please consult our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ and also, for more information about category settings, consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-category-settings-work/
Hope this helps!
If is not what you mean, please provide more details about your problem so I will be able to provide a more accurate response.
Thank you for the message!
My friend use “Big Grid 3” on the main page and he made offset on main page by visual composer, but its also working in category http://joxi.ru/12MBbXkI467wqA
But it is not working on my site on category pages, its only working on main page. How can I make it with a help of newspaper options?
I’d like to use the native WP Gallery to make a slideshow in my Newpaper theme site. I will have user generated content that will be uploaded to a particular page, so I want those photos attached to that page to be automatically used in a slideshow. I tried the Visual Composer’s slideshow and carousel elements, but they ask me to select photos and I want it to automatically use all the photos connected with this particular page. I activated Jetpack, and it has a carousel that is supposed to do this, unless your theme doesn’t allow it or overrides it in someway. The Jetpack carousel is not working either. How can I accomplish this?
Thanks.
Rachel
You might look into the OWL Scroller if you’re unable to use the scrollers built into Visual Composer.
I am having a little problem changing my homepage Big Grid from Big Grid 3 to something else. I am confused as to where to initiate this changes. I have gone through my Theme Panel and Visual Composer without really getting a handle on how to effect this changes. Please I need a guidance on how to change my current Homepage Big Grid. Thank you
Hello Matija,
I suppose that you are referring to Image Gallery as Visual Composer element. If you want to have background for this kind of element, you have to set it the stretch row and background-color for whole raw that contain this element from Visual Composer, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/bAfureuRGpu -> http://screencast.com/t/OtscDpTG1 -> http://screencast.com/t/FyIAEuxulQnk and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/xnnTDqYCUj8U
For your second request, unfortunately, the image will be fitted only by our width which is 1068 px. We cannot recommend increasing this because the layout of the site will be broken. If you want to display more levels in our theme and you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps!

Hello poporil,
If you want to change the icon for Comments with the word Comments, you have to alter the code where this icon is called, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/WL593sA7lj7 and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/Rmvt4xr2
For your second request, I suppose that you want to add other block under the related articles. If you want to do that, you have to alter the code from this type of template and use do_shortcode method to add the block. Please follow the next steps in order to achieve as you wish. In continuation, I will give you an example for inserting block_1 in post template style 1. First of all, you have to add the code from Visual Composer like this -> http://screencast.com/t/AxKsYI5m and the code will be this -> and you have to implement it inside this core file, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/KJSfXWdeDpIU and the result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/i1x6gGi58bL3
Hope this helps!

Hello,
Unfortunately we have no clue as to what plugin you use but you need to replace it if it is not compatible with our theme. (maybe the plugin had an automatic update and the new version create issues, or another plugin updated and creates a conflict with your avatar plugin) Please try to disable all other plugins except visual composer and your avatar plugin and check if it works. If it does not, then you need to replace the plugin.
You can follow this guide to see how you can set up your author card: https://forum.tagdiv.com/author-card/
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
The most common cause of this issue is the plugins you use. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn if you use it. If there is a plugin conflict, this will fix it. Then you need to identify the plugin that causes it.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have few questions regarding the theme.
1. In the Visual Composer block filter setting, it states that “If you want to filter multiple categories, use the ‘Multiple categories filter’ and leave this to default”. How is default defined here? How should i leave it to default?
2. How does the tab on the block works?
Even if i filter only one category, it keeps showing all the categories on the tab.

3. How can i change the meta title on the home page?

Let me know if you need more details.

Hello drae,
I have checked your website and saw your problem with Custom Menu Page. Also, I notice that you have used child theme…please try to switch to the main theme, ensure that you have updated the Visual Composer, disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all cache, purge CDN file is you used and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins and check it again and see how it works. I suspect this problem as could be caused by your child theme…probably is not updated to the latest version and might cause some errors when the code is overwritten.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
Please make sure that you updated the theme according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ also deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
If you’re using a child-theme deactivate it then check if the problem is still there.
Regarding the code from child theme there is an important aspects that must be considered:
– if in previous theme’s version a specific code added in child theme worked fine that doesn’t mean that will work with a new theme version. When theme update many of its files are changed and it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.
If you still can’t manage to solve this issue please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login credentials so we can take a closer look at this issue.
Thanks!
Hello Pete,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. This is most likely a plugin conflict that causes all these issues.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
