Hi
The elements tagged as deprecated from Visual Composer are still available for usage and works fine with the theme. I can’t say for sure what developers from Visual Composer will do with these elements in future, but most likely they will be removed when the plugin will pass trough a major update. Best thing would be to use the new elements built to replace the old ones, as all deprecated elements has been replaced by new – more advanced and good looking copies.
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge CDN files if you use it. Let us know if the problem is still there afterwards.
Thank you!
Hi there,
I just updated Newsmag to the latest version 2.3 and also updated Visual Composer to 4.8.1.
I expected that Tabs, Toggle, Accordion etcetera would still be available as a (usable) element.
It says Elements within this list are deprecated and are no longer supported in newer versions of Visual Composer. however I am on the latest version right?
If I look at the Visual Composer plugin page (the stand alone one) on their preview they do list them as an example:
http://vcpreview.com/shortcodes/tabs/
So what I would like to know is: how can I create these elements and can I keep the ones that I created? Or should I change anything? Because when I use the latest version nothing should be deprecated there right? Strange…

Hello,
I have tried to recreate this on my end but could not recreate your issue.
http://screencast.com/t/5fUIOQmZ9rkF
I used a 1200×180 test logo and it fills the header container (1164px) on all 3 styles with full logo.
Please check if you have any modifications to the header container. You can also try this without any plugins active (except visual composer) to rule out a plugin conflict.
If the problem is still there provide a link to your website so we can take a look and come up with a solution.
Thank you!
Hi,
I have checked this on my side and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/haFDRCboSOM – http://screencast.com/t/WKNIWWBV4
Please make sure you have added the code properly in td_ajax.php file – http://screencast.com/t/ChkNU6LwP and also check this without any plugins active except the Visual Composer and Easy WP SMTP or other plugin that you use for this. I have checked this using SendGrid.
Thanks!
Hello,
Please make sure you use the visual composer version that comes with the theme. Any other version will cause issues. Another thing you can try is disable all your plugins except visual composer. If the problem is still there you can send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide a link to your website and a password so we can take a closer look. Please also include a link to this topic so we know who you are and what the problem is.
Thank you!
Hello,
The header style you use should display the full logo. I uploaded an image we use as an example ad: http://screencast.com/t/TcO0CDDiHKFS and it works fine.
I also checked your console and it seems to display an error about a certain logo: http://screencast.com/t/pxKKZlfwL3
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer and upload your full logo image.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!

Hi
Please make sure that you installed the plugin from Newsmag-tf\plugins folder. The page-builder should be available here: http://screencast.com/t/DZCD2uY7 You can find more details about VC usage in our documentation https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and the theme works fine, didn’t found any errors or other things which may affect its functionality. I suspect that a plugin may cause this issue so you can try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. If the problem persit try this css in theme panel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/0v8MdTUpM
body {
overflow-y: scroll!important;
}
Thanks!
Hello,
The video playlist does not show up when added with do_shortcode. A normal video player does. We will look into this and do some tests. I will add this issue on our list of fixes and updates. Until then you can use the visual editor to add a video playlists: http://screencast.com/t/e4eQwwhn8
Thank you!
Thanks Andrei.
I followed the instructions and updated the theme, but I have found a problem:
All the pages that use Visual Composer are now showing all elements as “Text blocks”, with the shortcode inside. I send you a few screens so you can better understand what I mean:
Backend:
Frontend:
Thanks!

You need a plugin for that, free or premium. I am using qtranslate-X on my http://www.photocommand.com, which is also complemented by WPBakery Visual Composer & qTranslate-X, Yoast SEO & qTranslate-X, Advanced Custom Fields: qTranslate as those plugins gave me those options.
If I was starting today, I am not sure I would use qtranslate-X (I read it is a hard one to uninstall if you need to and it is not the most SEO friendly (take care when setting your URLs in the language implementation options).

Hello George,
I see now what you mean and i do not think visual composer was meant to work from a mobile device. We tried adding elements with VC from a galaxy S4, S3, S2, or from other mobile phones we have but we could not add a single element to the page. Furthermore using visual composer on posts is not tested with our theme and is known to cause issues.
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and noticed that you’re using V 4.6.3 of Newspaper and V 4.4.4 of VC. We received some reports in the past regarding the high CPU usage with this version of VC. If you want to stay with this version try to downgrade the VC plugin at V 4.3.5 which require lower resources.
If you want to use the curen version of Visual Composer plugin available with the theme, then you need to update the theme to version 6.5.1 which has support for later versions of VC plugin and it’s also included within full theme’s package.
The current version of the Visual Composer included in theme’s package (4.7.4) has been tested and works fine. Also the plugin has passed through a major update, lots of security vulnerabilities have been fixed
If you decide to update please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ backup your current install, run the import settings script, update plugins and check the result. You can always get back to the previous working theme version if something goes wrong as long as you backup it but doing the update as instructed the theme should work fine.
You should also consider into the process at the following aspects:
– backup your current theme/WordPress/database: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups
– 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
– switch back the rest of the plugins and start other services
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi
To use diferent modules on the category page you will need custom modifications in theme’s core files and I cand provide a quick solution for that. Instead you can use blocks from Visual Composer, which are built from different modules, following this steps:
– first you need to set the block in VC and add a specific class for it as it’s necessary a custom css for this particular case: http://screencast.com/t/RmC19Befc
– switch in backend editor copy this code: http://screencast.com/t/u3Ca4vZrRXda http://screencast.com/t/oej5d5DGAkH
– insert this code in category.php file like here: http://screencast.com/t/SRIR9kv4
<?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3" el_class="class"][td_block_14 limit="4" category_id="6" ajax_pagination="next_prev"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');?>
After that add this css in theme panel > custom css:
.class{
width: 100%!important;
}
The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/mjgyiqSCKn
This code will display the same block on all categories pages. If you need different blocks depending by category it’s need a set of conditions like this: http://screencast.com/t/kDrGBrUE
<?php
if (is_category(13)) {
block for category with id 13 goes here
}
elseif (is_category(14)){
block for category with id 14 goes here
}
?>
To get the category id follow this link: http://screencast.com/t/RZuMUg8oM01
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi,
I’m writing here because I implemented Newspapper for a client, and i’m having performance problems.
The official requirements for the theme states that Godaddy should handle 2000 daily visits. I’m using the most expensive of the shared hosting plans on Godaddy, the site has less than 7500 monthly visits and WP Super Chache is running, but the CPU can’t handle the traffic.
I installed the “Query Monitor” plugin to find the queries that are consuming resources, and it seems that the problem is in Visual Composer:

The site is: http://www.goldevestuario.com
Could you please help me understand why in my case the theme is having trouble dealing with so low traffic?
Thanks in advance!

Leonel Frattesi
Hi,
“I looked over the code that you provided and works fine. If you’re using page template default as the page template for the homepage: http://screencast.com/t/WelReLqatY the sidebar should appear only once.”
This is exactly what I did, but the sidebar is still appearing twice, the widgetized sidebar and newmag default sidebar.
I intend going live tonight, I am familiar with Visual composer as I used it in my previous theme, but I am just stuck, this is the last thing I need to fix..
Please where can I send you a temporal admin login so you can fix it, then I pick it up from there.
Best..
Thank you Ing Geek.
@k2point0, you can follow this tutorial on how to use visual composer: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
You can also check this video tutorial (it’s for the newsmag theme but the method applies to newspaper as well): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVkBJWJD2LQ
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi there…
for one of my category pages I’d like to use a mix of the available modules rather than one of the modules offered. So rather than 10x M11, I’d like to have a mix that I can build with VisualComposer or if necessary by programming. If I use VC, I loose the abbility of global paging.
Please advise.

Hello,
The visual composer latest version will be available in the next theme update. Until then please use the version that is bundled with the them.
I have checked your website and saw the masonry grid error. Something seems to interfere with the theme’s JS: http://screencast.com/t/y3qzjEzv. Please undo any minification you have on your website as it is known to cause problems.
If the problem is still there please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your login information so we can take a closer look at the problem. Please also include a link to this topic so we know who you are.
Thank you!
Hi, have few questions about the home page.
Question 1. where the top section of the content where you have 4 posts displayed with their featured photo.(when you mouse over picture zooms) on bottom of the left image you have autor and date below the article title. How do I get rid of the date and author. I ONLY want to remove it from there not from rest of the page. When I change the option from the theme panel, it removes it from every page. I still want to display author and date for the rest of the content.
Question 2. Under “Don’t Miss” section Immediately to right you have categories (all, fashion, new look…) how do I remove that. I don’t want to show the categories there. When I make changes in the visual composer Block2 has no effect. It doesn’t matter what I change in the Filter Tab or Ajax filter, nothing happens.
thanks for your support.
Hi,
This cannot be achieved using the Visual Composer elements, you will have to try a plugin like Wp Post Carousel that I guess they use. There is not block 13 it just looks like the tagdiv block.
Using just Visual Composer elements you could try Post Slider – http://screencast.com/t/3eJXVC8n
Thanks!
Hi,
Try to disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue as I have checked your site and you have many js errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/JvumqolXWQk These errors are usually caused by plugins that are in conflict with the theme javascript.
Thanks!
