Hi
I used the plugin with the basic Newsmag configuration:
-theme version : 2.3.5
-Visual Composer version 4.9
-MyEffecto version 2.7
I also used the plugin with a mega menu and seams to work fine: http://screencast.com/t/wG5kAddHgleh You can try to make a new local install on your computer, with the latest version of WordPress, the current version of the theme available on themeforest, V 2.3.5, Visual Composer and MyEffecto plugins and test again.
Thanks!
Hello praxs4u,
I suppose you are referring to Big Grid 7 -> http://screencast.com/t/nPVpVc078AJ7 Unfortunately, our theme does not have such option to achieve as you wish. All the settings for Big Grid you can find in Visual Composer, Big Grid Settings, like this-> http://screencast.com/t/Two0yoWutxo If you want to do some customizations, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to implement this for you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment.
Thank you for your understanding!
Hello,
There is a shortcode to create tabs, but it would be easier to use the element itself which can be found in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/F0vqe7PeV9U and if you want to use the shortcode, after you create your tab in VC, simply enter classic and text mode and get the shortcode: http://screencast.com/t/9gDseDWSrZ7
Thank you!
Hi Andrie thanks,
I think I should of used my site design to explain better, see image below. Since I already have the feature image and title made out of visual composer and the rating section on the right, I don’t think I can just use the existing title from the post template and move into my content made from visual composer. because the rating section on the right may not position correctly. correct me if I’m wrong about this.
So I was thinking maybe I could hide the post title and feature image from the post template, and use my own made from visual composer. And how can I best hide the title in post template to not hurt my seo and use my made up title (h1 title) in visual composer? will google pickup this H1 title if I make it in visual composer?
but I think with my meathod I won’t be able to put the category tags under the title made in visual composer. its a bit hard to decide for me right now. :/

Hi
1. I’ve checked the background click ad functionality on my side and works fine. Please make sure that you set your background ad according with our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-background-ads/ deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
2. When a background-image it’s used the theme switch in boxed layout all content, including the header. This was the original implementation and to change it are required many customizations in theme’s files. This is a complex task and unfortunately I can’t provide a solution now. If you need this and you’re not aware of the steps you need to take in this regard please consider hiring a developer or a freelancer to do this for you as we can’t offer customization services at the moment.
Thanks!
Hi
The photon feature of jetpack’s plugin generates and serves a new, re-sized image based on img element’s width and height attributes” besides the one theme smart list adds to the page.
The jetpack photon feature can cause issues and while the theme works based on the same system (creates and serves/uses thumbnails for each uploaded image). Also I’ve checked the smart list functionality on my side with the latest theme version available on themeforest, V 6.6.4, and works fine: http://screencast.com/t/8b7DhIFIKC5LTry deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, make sure you deactivate the Jetpck and Photon module too, clear all caches and test again.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked the link provided as example and noticed that this is a custom post type which most likely it’s generated by one of your installed plugins Our theme have implementation for custom post types and the sidebar should be displayed fine. This issue could be caused by the widgets tile. You need to use just standard letters on the titles. Any other symbol such as !, @, #, $, or – , _ or language specific characters, will cause the sidebar and the widget area to remove widgets and sidebars.
Also try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer and the one which generate the current post type, clear all caches and test again.
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hello it looks like my site’s infinite loading is not working… it only shows normal pagination.
i have disabled every plugin and clean my cache still i have the same problem.
earlier i was using diff theme which infinite loading was working but as i switched to this theme. it has been stopped.
website url : talepicker(.)com
current plugins i am using: Slider Revolution,WP User Avatar,WPBakery Visual Composer and Yoast SEO.
i have just checked with the siderbar.
siderbar’s infinite loading is working but not the main page.
Hello Woozoo,
Unfortunately, there is not a simple task to change the width of the image of this Visual Composer element. This is set it with the width of the theme, namely-1068 px. Our theme has not been designed to use another width and I do not recommend to change this because the layout of the site will be broken.
Another possibility for you would be to use Revolution Slider plugin, which it’s included in /plugins folder, to create a full-width slider: http://screencast.com/t/5KiwDmuQwj You can find the installation steps of the plugin in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/ We have some demo sliders, in Newspaper-tf\demo_sliders folder, which you can use to became more familiar with plugins functionality: https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/ and also you can check plugin’s official documentation for more details regarding the features available: http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/welcome-slider-revolution/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello gabrieljsosa,
This problem might be caused by conflicting plugins. Try to disable all of them, except Visual Composer and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. Also, please try to use in your sidebar title only the numbers and letters without any unknown symbols because in some cases these can cause this issue. If your problem is still there, please provide your URL website so I can further inspect the issue.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that the theme don’t use thumbs for this block: http://screencast.com/t/akux07VHT Try to regenerate your thumbnails: https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please use the following method to see your custom ad. Create a page and ad an ad box element to it using visual composer. Then set the ad to custom ad 1. Now your ad should be displayed on the page. If it does not, it means you either have no ad placed in custom ad 1 in the theme panel or the ad code is not ok. If the ad displays ok on the page, then you can access classic mode and text mode to get the shortcode:
http://screencast.com/t/07sbC8nyj8bo – http://screencast.com/t/vvz2fR9Y
If your ad is anything other than adsense you will need to use this method to implement it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-other-ads/
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi guys,
I am aware that you don’t offer support for 3rd party software or plugins. Actually I am having problems with integrating a plugin that is working perfectly fine with other themes I tested into Newsmag. So my guess is it’s is related to your theme which then makes it eligible for support?! 😉
Anyway … maybe it is a simple thing because you might already have an idea.
Here is the problem:
I want to use the plugin “MyEffecto-Instant Visual Feedback” in every post (not in pages or anywhere else, only in posts).
In its advanced settings it allows you to configure where to show the feedback-bar.
I uploaded some screenshots of it working in another theme and the corresponding backend page here:
http://ubersocial.de/myeffecto-2014-working-frontend.png
http://ubersocial.de/myeffecto-2014-working-backend.png
Also some screenshots of Newsmag and the not working/not showing plugin on frontend here:
http://ubersocial.de/myeffecto-newsmag-not-working-frontend.png
Backend Newsmag (with all options selected at this moment):
http://ubersocial.de/myeffecto-newsmag-working-backend.png
Funny thing is that while the feedback bar is NOT showing on the page itself it does show in the MEGA Menu (created from the same page …). So actually it IS working but just doesn’t show anywhere.
Please advise. Thanks.
I tried to use Visual Composer with the Dynamic Sidebar Widget.
The sidebar is displayed unter the content column. I choose a layout with 2/3 and 1/3 columns.
What goes wrong? Any settings missing?
Hello pritamps,
If you want to use a full-width image on your posts, you can use Visual Composer for posts -> http://screencast.com/t/ZvgzEFu0ent and then you have to use a single row with these changes -> http://screencast.com/t/ZTS9jwhj5zku -> http://screencast.com/t/FN17fY9gle Please notice that Visual Composer plugins is not tested for posts and is required to do some customization after changes. Another possibility for you would be to use Revolution Slider.
You can use Revolution Slider plugin, which it’s included in /plugins folder, to create a full-width slider: http://screencast.com/t/5KiwDmuQwj You can find the installation steps of the plugin in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/ We have some demo sliders, in Newspaper-tf\demo_sliders folder, which you can use to became more familiar with plugins functionality: https://forum.tagdiv.com/import-revolution-sliders-on-demos/ and also you can check plugin’s official documentation for more details regarding the features available: http://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/welcome-slider-revolution/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello kderentz,
I have checked your website and I saw your big white space. Unfortunately, this space does not come from our theme. As you can see in the below screenshot, you have a lot of unknown classes that might come from plugins used by you -> http://screencast.com/t/y2XXZq9m and also, you have some js.errors.
Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and try it again. It is necessary to follow this advice because these problems might be caused by these untested plugins.
If your problem is still there after this, please let us know.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hi
The theme wasn’t designed to use Visual Composer on post content so it’s possible to appear some issue with the layout in that situation. Try this css in theme panel > custom code > custom css and if the problem persit please provide a link so we can inspect it closer:
.wpb_text_column p{
margin-bottom: 26px;
}
Thanks!
Hi !
Since I upgraded my theme, visual composer doesn’t work very well. it’s not possible to customize some blocks. All elements are mixed and confused.
Thank you for helping.
Hi
Our theme was built to respect the google standards in structured data regards and we didn’t do any tests with: https://validator.w3.org/ I’ve added this on our list and we will run some test to check if there is an incompatibility in html structure of the page. Meanwhile you can try to change or remove the role for search form by editing header-menu.php http://screencast.com/t/DzGjD3gLXF3
The pingback_url parameter should displays the pingback XML-RPC file url: http://screencast.com/t/l39D6FZuw9Q but in your case the url it’s empty. This issue could be caused by a plugin so you could try by deactivating all, leave just Visual Composer active, clear the cache ant test again.
Regarding the css errors these appear because it’s not recommended to use css code inside div tags.
The theme generate a custom css for each block, depending by user’s options, but this code cannot be included in style.css file. This problem it’s present on our demo too: http://screencast.com/t/UmG1YSWBEobU but does not affect the page load.
The theme use h3 tags for entry tiles but you can change that by modifying this functions: http://screencast.com/t/owy14wCxl
Thanks!

Hi
Because you’re using a very old version of the theme the update process could be a bit tricky.
First make sure you do a full backup to the database and your current wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can allays get back to the previous version. Also consider the steps I’ve provide below:
– setup a maintenance mode and you can use a plugin for that.
– empty all caches/purge files if you also use CDN host then disable any services of this type until you switch to the new theme
– disable all plugins
– install the theme then install the required plugins: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
– switch back the rest of the plugins and make sure that they work fine with the theme, you can check this by enabling the plugins one by one then test the site.
Regarding your customizations these will be lost during the update process so you have to re-add them again in theme files or in child theme. Also make sure that the customizations are still compatible with the new theme because many files are changed and also many functions so there is a chance to appear some conflicts.
You also will need to redo your pages because in a previous version the shortcodes for blocks has been changed so they won’t work anymore. Just edit the page with Visual Composer, delete the existent blocks then re-add them again. Such that the new shortcodes will be generated and the page should be displayed fine.
Let us know how it goes and if you need further instructions please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello Baldvin,
You will have to play with the settings a bit and get used to the new layout of the theme and visual composer. Please provide an example of what templates you cannot add to your website. You can add elements in Visual composer like so: http://screencast.com/t/4PRDVYCcPvD It is not very different than the old version. If you don not have these options or some of them do not work, please try to disable all plugins except visual composer to rule out a plugin conflict. Plugins that worked in the old version could not work in the current one.
Thank you!
I was experimenting with using the Visual Composer elements in a post last night and noted that the Text with Title element seemed to have a bug where the paragraph spacing between the first and second paragraph is different to that between any additional paragraphs.
I’ve attached an image here to better explain the issue: http://imgur.com/GEGOj7E
Note that ‘shift+enter’ has not been used here and that the spacing between the first two paragraphs should be the same as that of the second and third.
I’ve checked this on a Page and it works perfectly but for some reason it doesn’t work with Posts. I’m guessing it may be a CSS thing or perhaps it’s a VC issue? Can you advise?
Regards,
CD
