Hello,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it. This could be a plugin conflict so please let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
As a note, the smart sidebar will not be removed from your homepage if it was added in visual composer on the row. If this is the case, you will need to remove this class from the row settings: http://screencast.com/t/uaxcHcEL.
Thank you!
Hello nusagrunge,
I’ve checked your website and I saw that you have some problems. Please try to disable all the active plugins, except Visual Composer and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. If you are using the Photon plugin (Jetpack) please try to disable because does not work properly with our theme and we do not recommend it. Also, this is known to be a problematic plugin and you should find an alternative. I will recommend you to use a WP Smush, as you can see in our documentation, here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/.
After this changes, if your problem is still there, please let us know.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
This usually happens when there is a conflict with the theme js. Usually plugins cause this error. Some plugins might not work with our theme anymore (in the current version) even if they worked in version 4. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and check your site again. (also clear cache)
Thank you!
Hello fergusga,
This usually happens because of lazy load animation which’s script conflicts with some of the installed plugins and also, your plugins might cause a conflict with this in the latest update. You can make a test…if you will disable all your plugins, except Visual Composer, of course, and activate the lazy load, this kind of issue should not appear on your side.
Thank you for your message!
Hello rentaguide,
First of all, please try to disable all the active plugins and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme. You should update to your Visual Composer to ultimate version (4.8.1). Also, you can read this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
After this changes, if your problem is still there, please try to update your theme to ultimate version.
Before to update, please backup the whole current theme installation as well as the database and wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
After this, you can use the ftp method from theme’s update guide to uploading theme’s files and remove the previous theme files before uploading the most recent ones then test this again and let us know how it goes.
You can find a video tutorial on how to do this in theme’s update guide here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
Unfortunately there is no option for this. You will have to edit the theme core files in order to implement such an feature. You can use a do_shortcode function and use a visual composer single image element shortcode like so:
Add a single image element and place your image inside it. Use the settings for the block element to adjust size and other options: http://screencast.com/t/cII3MReWUA then enter classic mode and text mode to get the shortcode for the element: http://screencast.com/t/yxQaVF8PM
Then you can use this code: $buffy .= do_shortcode('enter visual composer element here');
You have to place the code in the smartlit file corresponding to the smartlist you use: http://screencast.com/t/saAZIJFjaAsn
This will make an image appear on the bottom of every slide. Just adding one image on the end of the smartlist is not so easy to do from the code as smartlists are based on a loop.
Thank you!
I use the Visual Composer Backend Editor. When I create several rows of content on a page and save the page then return to the page to edit the content, the bottom most rows will be missing. The content is still there because it is visible in the Classic Mode, but it is not visible in the Backend Editor Mode so I am not able to edit the content. I cannot figure out why it is doing that or how to make the editing window larger.
Hello 🙂
I used visual composer to make a new page i want it to be ( my homepage ) , i made it but i could not make it appear as ( my homepage ) can anyone help me ?
Thanks
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your reply.
To elaborate on the issue, please see my configuration in
http://www.screencast.com/t/oV3859p2 (Basically, I changed the font families and font sizes in pages)
Then I created a content with Visual Composer (http://www.screencast.com/t/l3n1tf6f). After entering preview mode, the content wasn’t changed as configured (http://www.screencast.com/t/0RmJoyp0F)
Then I just played with it and found that when I changed from Backend Editor (Visual Composer) to Class mode and delete [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text], Font families and font sizes worked. (Please see http://www.screencast.com/t/xrhzWPtkmWn0 and http://www.screencast.com/t/UJLQJbVF)
However, when I used Visual Composer to add other contents, it just went back to the previous stage (No change for font families and font sizes).
I also tried to deactivate all plugin but it didn’t work.
Thank you very much.
Hello insidestl,
You should use a block 15 as sidebar, in Visual Composer to achieve as you wish. The result you should see here:
http://screencast.com/t/OJxTisgpP For more information about sidebar, please check our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message
Hello,
Unfortunately we are not familiar with that particular tool you use. First you can try it without any plugins (except visual composer) to rule out plugin conflicts. Next check for any redirect software or rule in htaccess.
Another thing you can try is use https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools and check your website for errors using their tool to see if the issues are the same ones as your tool.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello NickSi,
Please provide your URL website so I can inspect it closer. Also, please provide more details about your problem. (some screenshots would be useful). I need to know these details so I can be able to provide a more accurate response. Before this, 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 try again.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
Please try to disable all your plugin except visual composer, clear cache and purge CDN if you use it. this way you can rule out any plugin conflicts that might affect visual composer. It could be the seo yoast plugin as we had reports of the new version not being compatible with visual composer in some cases. If this is the case, you need to revert to a previous version of yoast.
Let us know how it goes.
Thanks.
Hello rodrigocarlos,
Unfortunately, there is no option to add more social sharing option to our social icons. You can add only the Google+ social link from Visual Composer->Social Counter Settings, like this http://screencast.com/t/SDZXd2A4ivg but not the rest LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. on our theme.
It is possible to add this but is not a simple task and it is necessary to make some customization in back-end and also, better coding knowledge are required. If you are not aware, about the steps, I consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you, because we do not provide Custom Work for the moment, sorry.
P.S We add these things/suggestions to our list of fixes and on near future/updates, it would be possible to implement it in our theme, as well. Our developers will decide these things.
You can use this topic as a reference to see how it can be done: https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-a-new-linkedin-button/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/i-would-like-to-edit-the-social-media-share-buttons/
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding!
Hi @icecold
Sorry for the delay and for all inconveniences. We take the topics from the oldest to the newest and because you updated your topic it was always on top.
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using the latest version of the theme, but an older version of Visual Composer plugin: http://screencast.com/t/l0jivAfL Please try to update the Visual Composer plugin from the
Newsmag-th/plugins folder: http://screencast.com/t/miUvStRJT – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Note that you have to look in the V2.3.3 path after the indicated folder. Also try to deactivate all others plugins except VC, clear all caches including browser cache, purge cdn files if you’re using and test again.
If you still can’t manage to solve this issue please address us via email at contact@tagdiv.com including a link to this conversation and also give us wp-access so we can have a closer look at this issue.
Thanks!
Hello,
I had a quick look and you are trying to add mega menu to a sub menu item.
It has to be the PARENT and not a sub item of a sub item.
Does this make sense?
So
– INSTRUCTIONAL needs to be the MEGA MENU that is a page let’s say “INSTRUCTIONAL”
– SUB ITEMS is a menu you create via Visual Composer and I think you can, not sure, you add sub menus to that.
But as you have it, having a sub menu item as the mega menu, it is possible, I think, as a standard feature with this theme. You will have to create/use a custom mega menu something like MAX MEGA MENU as it seems like they support it.
Regards
JC
Hi
To achieve that you have to change the page structure a bit. You can use the page template default and add a new block to duplicate the latest article part. You can use block 3 for example to reproduce this part of your site: http://screencast.com/t/8a1cBZ4Vyc Your layout in Visual Composer should be similar with this one: http://screencast.com/t/tuRD1YJNSC To make the sidebar scroll down with the page you have to make it sticky: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-smart-sidebar/ – http://screencast.com/t/5avIgqnDO1
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hello,
It can be a number of things when a sidebar behaves unexpected. It ca be a plugin conflict. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer and check the sidebar again.
It can also be the way you created it. Pleas make sure there are no open html tags. This simple mistake can cause a whole number of errors. Try to recreate your sidebar widget and see if it still display the same
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello willysawa,
You can set the layout to display on 3 columns from Visual Composer, like this: http://screencast.com/t/kemb43HR3jIS
The result you should see here: http://screencast.com/t/6Rg87RWXKZ
For more information about Visual Composer, please check our documentation, here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ .
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello,
You need to update your theme to the latest version as many improvements were made since 6.2 :
If you update to WP 4.4. then you need to update the theme as well as some fixes are necessary for their compatibility.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
You then need to update the visual composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
And also the tagdiv social counter: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial/ as it was modified a bit due to facebook changes.
After all these are done, you can use this guide to improve loading times: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
The theme was not designed to display full width elements.
If you use a stretched row in visual composer you need to adjust the margin left and margin right proprieties in the row settings: http://screencast.com/t/iAXskKjsb
You can alternatively add a custom class toyour row and use css to target it:
http://screencast.com/t/6mKaGV5zNKy
Then you can use the class assigned with css like so:
.custom-row{
padding-left:20px;
padding-right:20px;
}
Thank you!
Any clue?
In this situation visual composer is useless and my homepage completely unavailable.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
If you’re referring at the carousel image block this can be added from Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/ULerThW7h – http://screencast.com/t/eol7AihrEn The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/r8CLLnwb2BLP
If this is not what you mean please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hello,
The smartlist ad is positioned depending on the smartlist you use on the post. http://screencast.com/t/W7ZCy7Ec
Unfortunately visual composer is not tested on posts. It can be used but some things may not align properly. You can try it out and see how it works.
I cannot offer a solution for this except use a different smartlist. The article inline ads will not work with smartlists and changing the smartlist ad position involves editing the theme files.
Thank you!
Hello,
We have no reports on this yet. It is not a known issue. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache (and cdn if you use it) and check again to rule out a plugin conflict.
Also try the error on a different browser.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
