You did not answer my question. In the past I could not have both WPbakery Visual Composer and tagDiv Composer active at the same time because it caused issues. Is this still true? My websites have thousands of pages and many of those pages are built with WPbakery Visual Composer so changing to tagDiv will take a lot of time.
Also, how do I know when you have allowed us to update our WPbakery Visual Composer plugin as the theme updates itself and I am given no notice about updating just the WPbakery Visual Composer plugin.
Hello,
Sorry but we have not tested any add-ons for WPbakery so we cannot say for sure if they will work or not. They will not work it tagdiv composer that is for sure
If you want to move to our tagdiv composer page builder you should use this guide:

Thank you!
I have thousands of pages on my different websites using WPBakery Page Builder and your Newspaper themes. How do I use both WPBakery Page Builder and tagDiv Composer at the same time while I switch all the necessary pages?
Also I bought plugins for WPBakery Page Builder including the Visual Composer YouTube Channel with Carousel. If I switch to TagDiv Composer, will these plugin work or are there plugins included I can use instead?
We just migrated our site to the Newspaper theme. Our pages were previously built using a highly customized page builder, but with this move I opted to use WP Bakery page builder. I’ve used it on other sites and really like the ease of it.
Once our site was moved, I quickly saw that WP Bakery wasn’t working as expected. I can edit the page builder elements that were migrated from our site, but I have issues when I add a new element or start from scratch, building a new page. The full width elements seem to be working fine, but if I have an image that is less (1/2 page, 1/3 page etc) the image is blown up large, but you can only see a skinny tall rectangle portion of the image. I’ve tried importing different size images and indicating in the page builder what size I’d like it to be, but it always turns out the same. A full page image looks fine, but anything less that than is strangely cropped.
Also the front end editor isn’t working as it should. I can’t drag and drop rows … visually it’s not previewing how the page will look in live editor because the elements aren’t previewing to size (they’re much smaller than they should be).
This is what WP Bakery support is saying: “The newspaper theme used at your end uses a highly modified version of WPBakery Page Builder which in-turn can cause an issue if the site is migrated from a standard page builder version. You can get in touch with the theme author and get rid of the customization code used by the theme author to modify he page builder via theme, so that there is no such issue.”
Any help here?
Thanks!
Hi Catalin,
Thanks for your reply. Regrets, I’m a little confused…
When unpack my theme, I get the following bundled plugins:
https://ibb.co/kAAFJU
When I install the theme, I see the theme plugin page with Visual Composer and TD Composer image as your image shows:
https://ibb.co/mjNedU
In the WordPress plugin page, I see the installations but js-composer(?) shows as WP Bakery with the Nag Notice:
https://ibb.co/cEQMsp
Did I do something wrong? I just figured there was a branding change on WP Bakery. Where does WP Bakery come from?
Thanks again.

Hi,
When creating rows with columns in Visual Composer you have a setting like “equal height”. However I use the tagDiv composer and I can not find how to get equal heights.
I want to create a grid with a big image slider on the left and 2 items on the right. I created a row with 2 columns with a slider element on the left and block 14 element on the right. How can I get them to the same height (also responsive of cource).
Then that was my first question.
I need to edit twice a page if the plugin is active.
That’s why I see nothing. I thought the plugin was working by himself. Then I will try to see how it looks but, to be honest sounds a bit tricky and tiring to edit each page twice.
Here the link to the website: https://youthnetworks.net
You will see the slider on the homepage ’cause I’ve just added the shortcode. But for example, here there’s nothing: https://youthnetworks.net/petitions/
It’s a pity a can’t use the visual composer to edit the mobile version too.
Thanks
TD Composer and Visual Composer are two different things. TD Composer is a lightweight replacement for VC, that uses less resources but may not have all the bells and whistles of VC. It does not need VC to work – two totally different things (both are ‘page builders’ which allow you to drag and arrange elements on a page, such as home page layout).
Normally, you would make a new home page ‘page’ and then edit that new page with TDC, you cannot mix/match the two systems. So, you cannot edit a VC ‘page’ with TDC or vice-versa.
Hope that helped a little bit. This is covered a bit more in the documentation.
I am having a problem with the WP Bakery Visual Composer Plugin. My site went down, and the web server company told me that the crash was due to the WP Bakery Visual Composer Plugin. I’m assuming this was due to an update. But I need that plugin in order for this theme to work. Currently, the plugin is deactivated, but the theme is not working. This is urgent because people are coming to the site. How can I fix this? Thank you.
I’d like to be able to use some of the td shortcodes in my posts, for example to insert some of the icons available. When I create what I want ahead of time on a Page, and then copy the shortcodes created and put them in my post, it works, but this is a very difficult and clunky way of doing things. Is there a list of the icons and the shortcodes that go with them somewhere? It seems there should be an easy way of adding these icons shortcodes in posts. Any ideas? (I did try to test out visual composer with my posts to see what their icons were like, I enabled visual composer on posts setting, but I can’t seem to get visual composer working in posts OR pages, but right now I’m not really concerned about visual composer, only the icons shortcodes)
Hi Simion,
probably I’m not able to explain my self properly.
The thing is that when I activate the plugin I visualize nothing from mobile. The pages look to be empty.
I wish I could check how this plugin optimizes the mobile experience, but actually, the only thing I’ve seen so far is nothing.
So, the thing I was asking since the beginning was, is it normal? am I doing something wrong? ’cause to be honest I’m not satisfied with how some pages look on mobile and I would like to check how the plugin works, one of the reasons we got this theme too.
Meanwhile, I will try again.
Thanks
Hi Simion,
Thanks for your answer.
The whole idea is to give the user a more visual option to visit the authors page.
we dont post author names on the site, so we cant get to the author post template for example.
Also we display post content in other areas as well, and if someoene flipps through posts it would be nice to have a button, or as the “more from author” where the visitor can easily and most forwardly visibly click and visit the page from the author.
hence i would have liked to be able to link a specific PAGE to the post ..
Here is an expample of a such a Author Page
https://prnt.sc/klx3jz
at the very buttom every now post gets added
If i click on the post, which is in a certain category and can be reached also from other parts of the website.. i cant get back or easily access a page from the “same author”
https://prnt.sc/klx4bp
so the visitor is stuck in looking at other posts (i can manually of coure write in a link)
the author template, only can be visited if i display the author name and someone clicks on it.. thats not visible enough for our intention…
any ideas if we can change or modify this?
thanks a lot for your time and info
Hi,
I understand what you mean, but I can’t explain the shortcodes and syntax used which appears strange to you. Everything in the code is there for a reason, since the page builder has been built from the ground up.
We made it that it is compatible with Visual composer shortcodes on a level for an easier transition between the two if users decide to do it.
As I mentioned the page builder is always being improved where possible.
I am sorry for any inconvenience caused, you could always use the WPBakery page builder included in the package. But with it the new features and the many ones to come will not be compatible.
Hi,
If I use the mobile plugin I visualize nothing of the page.
If I deactivate it then I see the page how shown in the preview of your screenshot.
Is it normal? I mean the plugin of mobile, shouldn’t work by itself making the contents more suitable for mobiles?
Thanks
Hi,
Using Visual composer for posts is not recommended, it can be used if absolutely required however
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
With the somewhat recent introduction of the cloud library plugin, the tagDiv composer can be used to create post templates, there are also many beautiful templates that can be imported
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
You could give the cloud library a try, you can have as many templates as you want (posts, categories, tags, authors and many others). In the updates to come the tagDiv composer and cloud plugin will receive many more new features.
Thanks
Everything was fine with my website until August 18. But now when I try to edit a page using TagDiv composer, the left sidebar of the composer opens while the right 2/3 just has a swirling icon indicating that the page is loading. It never loads. I have a very simple site with only the Newsmag theme and three plugins. The only one updated recently is the WP User Avatar. I’ve tried deactivating that, but when I do, TagDiv still doesn’t load.

Td composer does not work with posts. If you want to create posts, use the visual composer that comes bundled with the theme (inside newspaper-tf>plugins folder) and disable td composer. TD composer can only create and edit post templates imported from the cloud library via the td cloud library plugin.
Hello. I am a new user to the theme and would like to know if it is a good idea to use the Visual Composer plugin to format and create blog posts. In the description, it does say it is for “Customizing your pages AND POSTS”. Or is it best to grunt through the default WordPress utility for creating blog posts? Thanks.
Hello jesse,
Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option for this, sorry! You should check the theme core files if you want more additional customizations because we cannot provide something like this at the moment, sorry!
Notice that you can create your own Custom Category Page if you will use the Cloud Template Library with TD Composer. Please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-cloud-library-plugin/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If you want that your Tabs to work you should simply disable the TD Composer because it creates a conflict with Visual Composer which break the Tabs functionality.
Thanks for the message!
I have an older version of Newspaper & visual composer. I didn’t update to the latest composer because it said they were deprecated. I have many relevant pages with these tabs. So I just checked on these pages and the tabs aren’t working. A few days ago I hit “update Visual Composer” just ’cause I figured it’d be ok, but it didn’t update, needed activation key, etc. So I dont know if that triggered it. My question is, if I update both Newspaper and VC to the latest update, will that fix this problem or will the tabs remain “deprecated” or dysfunctional.
Hello eworld007,
Maybe your images are stuck in opacity 0. This usually happens on a js error caused by plugins or customization or other external optimization tools. Please disable all plugins except visual composer or TD Composer, clear cache and reset CDN files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functioning of the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello,
The Wpbakery page builder can be installed like so: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Please note you cannot register the plugin to the author website if this is what you mean by “activate”
The bundled version does not have an activation code but you already have access to the full features of the plugin.
However, we recommend our own tagdiv composer page builder as you cna only use the cloud library plugin using our own page builder: https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hello Angela,
I guess that you want to use TD Composer? Please notice that all of the Visual Composer shortcodes are recognized from TD Composer and if you want to make this transition between Visual Composer and TD Composer, try to consult the following useful guide from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello thoughtful,
Unfortunately, the TD Composer has not been designed to be used for creating a post with this builder, sorry! Also, you can try to activate and use the Visual Composer for posts pages but this is not tested with the theme. If you want to have this feature, you should switch your theme to Newspaper.
Thanks for your understanding!
