Hi
Note that the sidebar added within the widgetized sidebar block applies only for the section built with Visual Composer pagebuilder. If you’re using pagebuilder + latest as page template, for latest article section will be set another sidebar from loop settings: http://screencast.com/t/UUaXCvUjZj2L
The default sidebar can’t be used only for the part of the page generated by VC, the rest of the page will use the default sidebar or other one, depending by users settings.
If this does not help please provide a screen of your layout from Visual Composer or the entire code from bacakend mode via http://pastebin.com/ so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Hi,
I am having a little difficulty here. Based on the documentation, a page created with visual composer won’t have use the default sidebar, but the widgetized sidebar.
I have a widget on the default sidebar, which should normally appear everywhere except the page (my homepage) created with visual composer.
Now, I see both widgets appearing, on the page created with visual composer.
Please, how do I fix this?
Hi,
What device do you use? I also tested this on S4 mini(android) and and did not found any issues.
Please disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and check again. Also you could try to disable lazy load effect and see if you still have this issue – http://screencast.com/t/34AMsRuQ
Thanks!
Yes, that is what it was. I had the api plugin installed but that block was there and when I removed the plugin it was gone. I did not need the api plugin because I am not going to be creating new blocks. I tried the creating stuff with Visual Composer builder and thought it was confusing to me. So I am sticking with just what you guys offer in the updates. I like new features to play with but if I have to spend hours off and on to figure out something, to me it is a lot of time consuming. So I gave up on it.
What I was thinking of doing with the builder was creating a carousel for posts that shows like 4 images of posts and has left and right arrows and every certain time limit it rotates to the left every 4 of the images if you set like 8, 12 and up images and just continues rotating. Nothing in Visual Composer or in theme has that. The carousel in theme is just posts with excerpt and read more button and I don’t want that kind of carousel.
I am going to not worry about this either. Thanks anyways.
Hi,
I will add this on our list to be specified in the documentation how to enable all Visual Composer elements, as I see that many users have this issue. Glad that you managed to solve this!
Thanks!
Hi,
You seem to have the exact same error as the users above: http://screencast.com/t/U9UZzisiiigw
Have you tried any of the methods above to fix your problem? if not please try to disable all plugins except visual composer and see if it’s a plugin related issue. If not, please try this method:

Thank you!
Hey!
I am another “Frank” but I am experiencing similar problems.
I had VC (full license) installed at my site prior to purchasing Newspaper 6.
We have installed according to the manual (https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/)
We tried several times.
We are constantly having a persistant error message in our dashboard (“Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.”) that we can not get rid of and we are lacking a good number of elements (http://screencast.com/t/B2ExxHCzXQye) from VC. We are missig everything in that screensho after “Masonry Media Grid” (see here: abload.de/img/vctes4b.jpg )
We also tried turning everything off and on again – didn’t help.
For us Visual Composer is only offering the same four Dashboard-options as Frank showed in his screenshot above.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Frank B.
Edit.
By pure randum luck while reactivating plugins I hit (in dashboard) “Visual Composer” -> “Settings” and in there by a stroke of sheer luck I accidentaly clicked “user group access rights” -> “Administrator” and guess what? Almost all Newspaper-related items were disabled…
For the persistant Error-Message: that one is still there.
I strpngly suggest adding this to the knowledge-base to check there

Hi
That space appear because you’re using page builder + titles as page template and your page doesn’t have a tile. You can change the post template from Visual Composer pagebuilder: http://screencast.com/t/a1z0BO89l
Thanks!
Hello,
All the option you are looking for are in the theme panel -> fonts section. https://forum.tagdiv.com/font-customization/
This menu should be accessible from the theme panel. Please try to disable all plugins except visual composer and try again. You can also check your browser inspector’s console and see what causes the error. for example we use chrome: ctrl+shift+i and it will bring up the inspector then click the console tab: http://screencast.com/t/iCqTDEhswH and then click the fonts section and see what error comes up in the console area.
Another thing you need to check is the theme status settings: http://screencast.com/t/ismUn3QrRQ
You can follow this topic to see how you can increase these values: https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi
I’ve test this on my site and the trademark character is displayed fine on mobile devices: http://screencast.com/t/5pPyxwON I suspect that you have this issue because of a different css which applies on that character. Try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. If the problem persist please provide a link so I can inspect it closer.
Thanks!
Hi Sayeed,
For your first request, you can use a bit of css in theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/ktvjFQ2d
.td_block_wrap .td-post-date, .td-post-author-name{
display:none;
}
And for second request, there is an option to disable related articles within Theme panel like this: http://screencast.com/t/SncFbYr0E7 . If you want to add another widget in your post, i suggest to use a Visual Composer for posts. You can activate this like this: http://screencast.com/t/BZD6mfqMz
Our theme is not tested with Visual Composer for posts and also can appear several errors.
After using Visual Composer for posts, i’ll recommend to use the code below:
.td-post-content .wpb_wrapper {
padding: 10px;
}
Thanks and let me know how it goes!
Hi,
Please check this without any plugins active except the Visual Composer, clear cache and check again. You should also check the max_input_vars directive from you php.ini file and make sure that it’s set above 2000, you can check this in system status section within theme’s panel: http://screencast.com/t/HPlker5y
If this doesn’t solve your issue, please contact your host and explain the situation as it could be caused by the server settings.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer or if you did some custom modifications please remove them as the css is altered, your video ha a fixed width and height, this cause also responsiveness issues – http://screencast.com/t/WaZdsA8h It should look like this by default – http://screencast.com/t/FJXb80zPQp
Thanks!
Hello,
Please try to use the code in text mode after a closing html tag. (Right now i could not find the shortcode in your post)
If it still does not work, please try it without any plugins as sometimes they cause conflicts and errors. Disable all your plugins except visual composer and redo all minifications and then try the shortcode again.
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you!
Hi,
Please check your console for errors I suspect the infinite load pagination doesn’t work. Also check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if it works.
I have checked this on my side and did not found any issues, even if you use this kind of pagination instead of classic, it should load all the posts from that category. You can control only the number of posts to be displayed per page – http://screencast.com/t/RQ9JngNo
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and block 1 looks fine – http://screencast.com/t/MuXpxOrS
Did you managed to solve this?
Also I see that you use the old version of the theme and the latest version of Visual Composer. I suggest to update also the theme to the latest version 6.5.1 as using VC 4.7.4 with Newspaper 4 could create issues.
Follow this guide if you want to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks!
Hi @zeus
Im actually only use wp-rocket only whit HTML optimization + tag div speedbooster + a little custom on functions.php
add_action('init', 'myoverride', 100);
function myoverride() {
remove_action('wp_head', array(visual_composer(), 'addMetaData'));
}
function dequeue_visual_composer_css() {
if (is_single()) {
wp_dequeue_style('js_composer_front');
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_visual_composer_css', 1003);
add_filter( 'jetpack_implode_frontend_css', '__return_false' );
function dequeue_devicepx() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'devicepx' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_devicepx', 20 );

Looks like you didn’t install theme properly.
Best to extract the single zip file for the theme on your PC/Mac, then upload via FTP to your wp-content/themes/ folder — don’t upload the newspaper-tf folder, only the newspaper theme folder alone. You also need to install the visual composer plugin from the /plugins/ folder with the theme (easiest to do from the larger ‘all files’ newspaper-tf folder, then unzip the js-composer folder then upload via ftp to /wp-content/plugins/ in your WordPress install.
Don’t use the Envato toolkit is as it doesn’t work well with all hosting setups, and can set wrong folder location, wrong permissions, and doesn’t install the plugins for you.
See the how to install docs, from the link right side this page.
Hope that helped! FTP always best way to install anything for WP.
See the link to theme docs, right side of page for how-to, tutorials, etc.

Hi
When you install the demo without content only the settings are loaded, colors, fonts etc. The content must be created by the user. You can add the grid or any other block from Visual Composer pagebuilder: http://screencast.com/t/yVhd0YuLkOl More details about page customizations can be found in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi
I’ve checked your site and found this error in browser’s console: http://screencast.com/t/ZLEPGM67 This could be caused by a plugin which conflicts with theme js so you can try to deactivate all plugins except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again. Also make sure you added the videos ids in Visual Composer like here: http://screencast.com/t/KZhEdAOMG2
Thanks!
Hello,
1) Please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide your envato key and the username you used to buy the theme.
2) The tabs were modified so the default color (grey) would keep the style of the theme. any other color except grey will use the visual composer styling. If you want the look of the grey style but with different colors, you can use css to change them:
.vc_tta-container .vc_tta-color-grey.vc_tta-tabs-position-top.vc_tta-style-classic .vc_tta-tabs-container .vc_tta-tab > a{
background-color:black;
color:white;
border:1px solid white;
}
result: http://screencast.com/t/upOiuewDkz3
3) If you create your sidebar in visual composer it is different from posts. You need to add an extra class to the row: https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/
4)The hover color for the news ticker is affected by the color set in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/jkS3x0wJKTB . You can either change it from the theme panel or use custom css to keep your style and only affect the news ticker.
.td-trending-now-title, .td-trending-now-wrapper:hover .td-trending-now-title{
background-color:#1e73be!important;
}
Thank you!
I am having problems with my site after updating to the latest version of the newspaper theme. (I updated from version 3 to 6 yesterday)
I think the problems are related to the visual composer plugin not working correctly.
I want to use one of the pre-defined homepage templates for my homepage but I cannot access the templates as the backend editor of visual composer does not work or show up.
I spoke to my ‘WordPress guy’ and after taking a look he reckons that it seems like a theme bug and it was best to contact the theme dev.
What should I do? Thanks in advance.
Hi
You can use tabs from Visual Composer to achieve a similar layout: http://screencast.com/t/qQBPT8gdlHX Note that in the current version of Visual Composer the shortcode for tabs has been changed and they are different from those on our demo. We will fix this in the next theme’s updates but meanwhile you can use this custom css in theme panel > custom css: http://pastebin.com/ttmX0r1U – http://screencast.com/t/odvibm25F67g
Thanks!
Hello,
If you use the tag in visual mode, it will just display on screen. http://screencast.com/t/p9NMwA6UX8
You have to add it in text mode: http://screencast.com/t/Dj8eFcMOw
Result: http://screencast.com/t/2PkEa2sMV
Thank you!
