Hi @MissMyra
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using page-builder + latest as a page template. Using the default sidebar options from page settings will affect only the latest article part: http://screencast.com/t/hyQbkDdCINTz not the one built with Visual Composer page-builder. To add the sidebar here: http://screencast.com/t/XahYbpuDd you have to use a widgetized sidebar block from visual composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/YbNfZtxNu Also make sure that you empty all caches then test the site again.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello,
That is a strange issue you are having, as the theme does not give a 404 when an author has no posts: Here is an example when you click on an author with no posts on our end: http://screencast.com/t/iH8uIyDojv. So it seems something interferes with the theme default behavior. We cannot say for sure what the cause is for this, but the login comes from an untested plugin so we cannot know exactly how it’s implemented and we cannot ensure it’s functionality. Please try it without any plugins to see if the theme in it’s default state still provides the 404 error when clicking on a new author. Disable all your plugins except visual composer and test the authors page. You can easily check this by using an author box element in visual composer to get a list of authors.
Thank you!
Hi Catalin,
Let’s see:
1. Js errors. Yes I had some errors with that, actually a lot, but I arrange it. The problem was on child theme (functions.php). Now all events with js seems to work properly.
2. I disabled all plugins except Visual Composer at first, and also updated theme to last version. Suddenly WordPress works great, so I started to enable plugins one by one and check if they cause some problems. Everything right (I didn’t enable WP-Rocket). I guessed problem was on there, but a couple hours late a new error 500 appeared on my screen.
I tell that because webpage works good during a couple of hours until crash again, maybe is a good hint for you to find out what’s happening on it.
3. I just followed your tutorial (except suhosin because my hosting doesn’t provide it). Let’s see how it works now, just after the changes have been made, web charges like lightning.
I hope this works fine, if it doesn’t, I would like share a couple of screencaptures with you because maybe some parameters on htacces o php.ini are causing the problem. For instance, php.ini had “memory_limit = 1024M
“.
I’ll track website to see if all works properly. Hope next time text us with good news.
Thanks Catalin.
Hi,
1. I use Visual Composer
2. Add ‘Slide’
3. ‘Category filter’ set to ‘All categories’
4. Save and preview the page
Slide is not shown.
Please assist.
Thanks.
Hello,
I have worked my way to make a visual composer block to list all the terms from a specific taxonomy
$taxonomy = $a['taxonomy_slug'];
$tax_terms = get_terms($taxonomy);
$out ='
- ';
- name ) . '" ' . '>' . $tax_term->name.'
foreach ($tax_terms as $tax_term) {
$out .='
';
}
$out .='
';
return $out;
Live example: http://dev-topspeedin.pantheon.io/body-styles/
But I would love to be able to use your blocks to list these terms instead.
It seems that your blocks can only list posts. I just wanted to see if there was another for me to get a taxonomy page listing all my terms.
Hello there! Thanks for answering…
Did the tests you requested me, disable all plugins except RevSlider and VisualComposer and clear the cache. I use not cdn for now.
Now I can see the background image but the style is still wrong, even I tried two different web browsers (IE and Firefox) and the result is the same.
I suspect that the slider is getting the style that comes by default in newspaper, and not the custom that I am putting on the panel RevSlider.
I really want to implement the slider on my site, it’s part of my design.
Hi,
there is a way to ALWAYS have the ticker on posts. But this one cannot be removed. You will have to edit the post template files and add the news ticker with a shortcode. You can insert it only on the templates you want.
You can use this code:
<?php echo do_shortcode('VISUAL COMPOSER SHORTCODE')?>
You first need to create the news ticker as you want it (edit it’s settings) in visual composer and then use the shortcode visual composer creates for the element. You can see it in classic mode and text mode. For example:
[td_block_trending_now]. (the code will look like so:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[td_block_trending_now]')?>)
Then you can use it in the desired template file: http://screencast.com/t/kgKgZYYsV or all of them if you wish to have it on all templates.
Depending on where you want the trending now to display inside the post you will need to insert the function in a certain place inside the file: http://screencast.com/t/1TYJUINUSVJ
Thank you!
thank you Catalin..
after update to your Visual Composer to ultimate version (4.8.1) its back working fine…
regarding to upgrade the theme. i cant do it becouse i make A LOT OF CHANGES that will not work on newsmag 2..
Hello,
@Gregor007
You can add content blocks to your page using visual composer. Please follow this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
You can also follow this video tutorial to see how you can set up your homepage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss-BEobegAw
@philooo
Unfortunately filtering custom post types is not yet implemented in our modules and blocks. Blocks can display CTP-s but you will need custom modifications to make the blocks filter custom post types. You will most likely need to hire a freelancer to help out on this one as it will require quite a bit of php knowledge and we cannot offer any custom work at the moment.
Thank you!
Hello dicasocial,
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. If you are using the Photon feature of Jetpack, please disable it because this feature is known to cause errors with our theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thank you for the message!
Hello MissMyra,
I’ve checked your website and I saw your problem with your sidebar. First of all try to use a default sidebar and see how it works. Also, 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. First of all try to use a default sidebar and see how it works.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Hello awtown,
The Posts Slider is an element in Visual Composer and you can set in only from Visual Composer, like this http://screencast.com/t/t4mxkG69nyE
I do not understand very well to what effect you mean more exactly. Please provide more details about what you want to change, so I can be able to provide a more accurate response.
If you want to change the structure of the Posts Slider, it is necessary to alter the code of this and it is custom work. If you are not aware how to do this, I 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,
1) Please check your homepage again and recreate it in visual composer. If you have a row inside of another row, please remove them as these situations can cause errors. Please use a default layout to see if the issue is still there.
2)You can use this custom css code in the theme panel->custom css box:
.td-pulldown-filter-display-option{
display:none!important
}
Thank you!
Hello Lewis,
I’ve checked your site and I saw that you use and old version of Newsmag (1.5). 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). After this changes, if your problem is still there, please try to update your theme to ultimate version (2.3.2).
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: http://screencast.com/t/jNFnYQ0ONo – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
I recently did an upgrade to the latest version of theme and I’ve updated visual composer also.
After that, I can’t use page builder in the backend. The visual composer is working, on frontend all elements are there, but in the backend, VC is not loaded.
Which theme files exactly are important for VC to work? (Maybe I skipped some)
Regads,
Ivan
Hello,
Are you by any chance using the photon feature? or maybe the update activated it. This feature of jetpack is known to cause errors with our theme so please disable it.
If the photon feature is disabled and the problem is still there, you can try to disable all other plugins except visual composer and jetpack and clear your cache (and cdn if you use it) to rule out a plugin conflict.
Thanks.
Hello,
You need to add the embed iframe in text mode. not visual: http://screencast.com/t/y73yqRwd
try this code in the text mode :
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Fhx2YgbskE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
result: http://screencast.com/t/rB61fT78
If it disappears then it could be a number of things. YOu can first check your system status options and see if they are in the correct parameters: http://screencast.com/t/9GCxLdlosO0 if they are not, then you can follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Another thing you can try is dissable all your plugins except visual composer and clear your cache and cdn if you use it in order to rule out a plugin conflict.
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
Hello tanteidee,
I’ve tested on my side and it is not possible to achieve “Accordion” into a “Tabs”. When you are in Tabs option and try to add another Visual Composer element, the Accordion does not display http://screencast.com/t/UZSpJyBCHh – http://screencast.com/t/vfedt7RUtGWZ You should use separately, like this: http://screencast.com/t/AExmsn5u
Thank you for the message!
Hi,
This is the strangest thing. WordPress has stopped working on my laptop, although it does work in two other laptops that we own. The problem occurs not just on my website, but in a local installation that I have on my laptop. Basically with my laptop I cannot publish material on my website. I can’t make a WordPress post, add images, or click most of the platform’s buttons. It happens with both of the browsers I use, Firefox and Chrome. All Visual Editor buttons are missing, and the ability to switch from Visual to HTML is not working. I can’t Quick Edit any of the postings or comments – I can’t even click Screen Options or Help. Even worse, all the buttons in the theme panel are not clickable any more.
I upgraded to WordPress 4.4 from my local installation but the problem still is there. I also disabled all plugins, but it didn’t work either. I run Newspaper 6.5.1 and WordPress 4.3.1
What can I do? Can I reinstall some JavaScript that may not be working on my machine?
Any help is welcome!
Lola
Hello,
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it in order to rule out a plugin conflict. Also if you have any custom css modifications, make sure they do not affect the search widget and check to see if all tags are closed correctly. This problem can easily be fixed with css as it has an absolute positioning. you can add this code to re-position it if you want:
.header-search-wrap .td-drop-down-search{
left: 680px;
}
But finding the root of the problem is more important than coming up with a workaround.
Thank you!
Hello,
This looks like a plugin conflict. Did you by any chance activate the photon feature of jetpack? This feature is known to cause issues with our theme and we advice to disable it. If it’s not the photon option, please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it. Then check your images again.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hello,
I can see the problem now. It seems it looses it’s styling for some reason. Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and rev slider, clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it. It could be a plugin conflict.
Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
The only issue I found if it was anything was I had my blog page setup under visual composer and had it on infinite, then changed it to next and prev pagination and it stopped working. I then went and put the blog page as post page in settings>>reading, and pagination worked fine. So it only happened with VC settings for me to cause the issue with any pagination. Infinite works and infinite with load more button fine but not the next and prev pagination in VC. That is all I got but everything in categories pagination works fine on my end.
They added this option quite a few versions back, and I got used to it. It only appears on the visual editor, not the text editor, so you can still do long form writing and editing there of code without it.
There is a hack to remove it, posted here quite a bit, but it would be *nice* to have this as an on/off toggle option in future version for the admin panel. On by default, with option to disable without hacking the core code.
(adding to the suggestion box on this one) 🙂
