Hello Castle Yen,
1), 2) I have tested on my side and this kind of Visual Composer element, Big Grid Slide, seems to work as expected on mobile devices. Please try to check it on our demo version, here -> http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-slide/ Please ensure that issue do not come from any untested plugins wich can cause some js.errors in our theme. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all cache and instal only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins.
3)If you want to change the name of the “Related Articles” field, you can to do it from Theme panel->Translations->Translations, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/UDYXLI88r and the code of this feature you should find in td_block_related_posts.php -> http://screencast.com/t/12jOZHSYSIn
4)If you want to use Multiple Categories filter, you have to add your Category ID and not Category name as I can see in your screenshot. The category ID you can find like this -> http://screencast.com/t/8TrG0KdBfT -> http://screencast.com/t/0FOTgG09
5)This is a known issue with modules that use the wp default thumbnail and your post does not have a featured image. Please use this method to fix it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/search-error-message-thumbnail-is-not-set/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello mzirafos,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option for blog mode but if you want to achieve as you want, it is necessary to alter the code. You should use do_shortcode method and add the code in index.php core file. First of all, you have to create, for example, a block with your desired configuration and then you have to copy/paste the code of this feature from Visual Composer to index.php. Please follow the steps below and try to implement this method into your backend.
Steps -> http://screencast.com/t/EcUZqBidw -> http://screencast.com/t/oZUk6Lue -> http://screencast.com/t/6DH9gcogDwk -> http://screencast.com/t/Zwn0cfQAbrt and from here you have control over your homepage in blog mode -> http://screencast.com/t/QMUb3gnfu
The example of the code is ->
Please try to follow the steps that I gave you above and please notice that after this changes, it is necessary to do some custom style modification for a better look.
If 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 work at the moment, sorry!
Thank you for the message!
Hello willysawa,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have such option to display the widgets in 2 columns without Visual Composer. Please activate the plugin for posts and then try using it on posts, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/j6WeN5i9i
The result you should see here -> http://screencast.com/t/7KzqoLsFOq6 -> http://screencast.com/t/vCnuZ1djQHDD
If is not what you mean, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to implement this functionality in our theme for you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Hope this helps!

Hello,
Your sidebar does not work with the code above as it’s not a default sidebar from the sidebars section of WP. It is created using row settings in visual composer.
Please use this code to do it:
@media (max-width:767px){
.td-pb-span4{
display:none!important
}
}
Thank you!
Hi
The sidebar set here: http://screencast.com/t/Chwkp3Yn it’s displayed only for the latest article section if page template page-builder+latest it’s used.
To add a sidebar for the part of the page built in Visual Composer page-builder you can use a widgetized sidebar block: http://screencast.com/t/VGNpt4zDE3B – http://screencast.com/t/ov5aKaXNd
For more details regarding homepage set up please check our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ Also you can look over our videos on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUdVeZ1pbuc&list=PL6CsDkMaejhpWFcFNOIDfdp5nIT0NbUbj
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Okay, how do i apply that for the single post template, since it dosent use the visual composer
Hi
I am not sure how do you want to display this iframe on your site but a basic example would be like this:
-first you can add a specific class for the iframe so you can target it with css:
<iframe class="my-custom-mail" allowTransparency=”true” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” style=”border:none” src=”http://www.biliranisland.com/wp-content/plugins/myMail/form.php?id=0&s=1″></iframe>
-use this custom css in theme panel > custom code > custom css to set a size for your iframe, you can modify this values as you want:
.my-custom-mail{
width: 1064px;
height: 300px;
}– to display it on page use a raw html block from Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/Ue7UFyIKf The result will be like here: http://screencast.com/t/V4R0i5FuH5B Thi is a basic example but you can customize it as you want using visual composer page-builder and css code.
If you want a different implementation for this iframe please provide more details and maybe i can help you.
Thanks!
Hello,
The bottom side of this post: http://fightpassport.com/mma-workouts-and-nutrition/supplements-for-muay-thai-bjj-mma/6/ appears to be in full width and this is a big request we always get by our users and everyone wants to have it like so. That is why i assumed you modified the theme to have it like this. If you have not modified anything that means that it could be a plugin compatibility issue.
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files. Then check the error again.
Let us know if the problem is still there.
Thank you!
Hello damianvadone,
If you are referring to Grid 5 from the category page, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/GM3KiAQDIFOs, unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option to show only the categories without the child’s categories. If you want to display more levels you need custom modifications and if you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer or developer to implement this in our core files because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!
Also, if you are referring to Big Grid 5, from Visual Composer, you can set it from the Big Grid settings to exclude the categories wich you do not want to be displayed into your grid, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/wEM5Ixel9Z -> http://screencast.com/t/4tEMOINPL
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello Josh,
I have removed your login information from your post as this is a public forum. IT seems ALL your problems are caused by a plugin incompatibility. Once I disabled all your plugins except visual composer all the issues were fixed. (retina logo works, thumbs now show up, video displays properly, mega menu works) Please try to find the plugins that cause these issues and remove/replace them as they are creating conflicts. Not all plugins work with our theme. This is the case with every premium theme out there. Next time you see any issue that does not appear on our official demo: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ then plugins are the number one reason, then comes server configuration and customization.
Unfortunately the category tags on the homepage cannot be customized. You can assign a color for the category tag but it will only display on the post itself.
I hope this helps.
Thank you and best of luck on your project.
Hello geolits,

If your problem is still there after this, please let us know.

Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that on mobile version appear a js error in browser console: http://screencast.com/t/otgZZYST71 This error could be caused by a plugin which conflicts with theme’s javascript. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello,
This is because you have a redirect on your link. It could be caused by a plugin or there could be a rule in .htaccess you have set up. Please check for any redirects or modifications you might have set up or disable all plugins except visual composer and clear cache to see if it’s not plugin related.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have checked this on my side and did not found any issues, the videos work properly, please make sure you add the iframe code in html text mode if you add them in post content – http://screencast.com/t/fHsyPONvoC the result should be – http://screencast.com/t/gSS6yQiaAtt3 If you use text block via Visual Composer add the code in the same mode – http://screencast.com/t/9m5LEraX I have tested also by using Raw HTML block.
Please make sure you use the latest theme version 6.6.4 and also the Visual Composer is updated to the latest version provided with the theme 4.9. If you need to update the theme please follow this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and for Visual Composer plugin – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Also you can try to disable all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all the caches and see if it works. If the issue persist please contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a closer look.
Thanks!
Hello cstibi,
Unfortunately, these kinds of plugins are not tested with our theme and we cannot make a statement about their functionality. As you can see in this screenshot, we have a list with our tested plugins wich is work fine with the theme -> http://screencast.com/t/R9nEmAEtQw Q-translate x seemed to be the closest we could find to a working plugin but we cannot say for sure it will work 100% as we did not run a rigorous testing. You can try to troubleshoot it and disable all the plugins except Visual composer and Q-translate x to rule out any plugin conflicts. If you still cannot manage to get it working, then you will probably have to look for another translation plugin that works with our theme. Sorry for not having a precise answer. Maybe one of our users who have some experience with this plugin and our theme help you out.
For your second request, we do not have any Event Calendar plugin as favorited but you can try to use The Events Calendar plugin because most of our user use it and seems to work as expected with our theme and we do not have any bad rapports for it.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hi, thanks for your reply.
1) the slider I use on the homepage was the default slide of visual composer, and I’d like to use revolution slider. I creat a new page to explain the question, I hope it will be helpful.
2) ok. Could you explain how to insert the “link” of the file with the .woff format? I always fail to download the file on the font squirrel generator.
Thank you.
BTW here is the list of plugins used:
-Contact Form 7
-Disqus Comment System
-Google XML Sitemaps
-Limit Login Attempts
-Revolution Slider
-tagDiv Social Counter
-WP User Avatar
-WPBakery Visual Composer
-Yoast SEO
Theme works well on mobile — we use it every day on our mobile devices.
a) try disabling lazy load option
b) disable any “mobile” plugins or jetpack mobile setting (up to YOU to manage conflicts with other mobile tech conflicting with theme built-in mobile CSS)
c) try turning off plugins except for Visual Composer.
d) clear cache/ reset CDN.
One of those the usual culprit!
Hello,
The banner on the travel demo is added on the row in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/Z2VHdgzUTuV3
Unfortunately visual composer cannot add sliders on the row, just images.
You can however have a slide instead of the image if you use the same row and add a revolution slider element inside it: http://screencast.com/t/3KvvQR4YaSy You can follow this guide to see how to use the plugin: http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/slider-revolution-documentation/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello Bob,
Something is clearly not right there. Please follow this tutorial on how to properly set up your homepage using visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/

Thank you!
Hello
I have checked you website and I saw that your featured images seem to work as expected. http://screencast.com/t/rkcdvHFzv If your problem reappears, this could be caused by conflicting plugins. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the plugins in conflict.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
1) Unfortunately the grid builder font does not get applied by the settings, so custom css must be used.
2) The excerpt length cannot be changed from the grid builder nor the theme. There is no option for it.
3) The featured image gets grabbed from the posts. You cannot set a featured image inside the grid builder.
4) You will have to use css for them also.
Unfortunately the grid builder still has issues like the rest of visual composer but these issues are not theme related. If you test the grid builder on a WP default theme you will see that it has the same issues. We will have to wait until the developers at visual composer update their plugin and fix these issues.
Thank you!
Hi
WordPress does not allow to use a category page as homepage. This is not an option controlled by the theme and to achieve this you will need to modify the code. The category page it’s generated by a loop from the code and the theme don’t have any shortcodes from its content, si it cannot be used in Visual Composer.
Unfortunately I can’t provide a solution now as this is a complex task which require many customization in theme’s files. The time doesn’t allow us to offer custom modifications so if you need this and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer to do this for you.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer and clear your cache. This is not a default behavior of the theme. It’s most likely a plugin that causes the issue.
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
Hello Stefan,
I suspect this problem to be from plugins in conflict. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all cache and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out conflicting plugins. It is necessary to follow this advice because if you are using some untested plugins with our theme it could cause this kind of issue.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes after my advice!
Thank you for the message!
