- TutorialsHow to Update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
Hi
The theme uses blocks, which can be manipulated in Visual Composer page builder, to build the pages. You can find more details in this regard here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-block-settings-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Every block it’s built from one or more modules, depending by block’s layout. Here you can check the layout for modules: https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules/ and also you can check it live on our demo: http://screencast.com/t/V1q24L1JbPf – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/category/module-1-category/
Hope this help.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please check our documentation about how to create a homepage – https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ and also the block settings – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
You can check also our youtube channel, there are some video that can help to create your page like this one – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgWqozuqmJk
If you want to use Visual Composer on posts you will have to enable it from Visual Composer Settings – http://screencast.com/t/5c485h2XG But don’t forget that the theme was designed to create pages using VC pagebuilder and the posts are designed to have default text content. However you can use Visual Composer on posts.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can try to disable the lazy load animation and see if you still have this issue – http://screencast.com/t/YxebUiVIGhb maybe there is a plugin that conflict with the theme and break the lazy load effect.
Or you can check this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and see if the issue persist. If it doesn’t please activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this problem.
Thanks!
How can i use Visual composer for post pages(inner pages)?
Hi,
Yes, you can update directly to the latest version 6.5.1, please check this guide(A,B,C) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ also update the plugins that come with the theme(Visual Composer, Social Counter if you use it..) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and check if you still have this issue.
If you don’t have this issue anymore, activate your plugins one by one to see which one cause this. Usually this issues are caused by plugins that are in conflict with the theme javascript.
Thanks!
Hi,
I see that you use old version, please upgrade to the latest version of the theme using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and update also the plugins provided with the theme(Visual Composer, Social Counter..).
If you use an older version that 4, I recommend to do a clean install and recreate your homepage and check all the new theme features, blocks, modules. Please note that the Newspaper6 is practically a new theme, the whole code was rewritten, so old files customization or custom css will not works and you need to adjust it.
The latest version was tested and works with version 6 of the theme, I have also tested your fb id and it works fine – http://screencast.com/t/lJTufe5aC
Thanks!
Hi,
Thank you for your idiot based explanation but it didn’t help really.
All customizations are based on child theme and custom CSS only.
Regarding plugins, here is the complete list. I don’t think I am using any fantasy plugins – they are all what we are using in many of our projects.
I don’t really know how disabling plugins will help as this is not something we can observe before it happens.
If we disable plugins AND wait if it will happen again, we will not have a working site, this is not a useful solution, sorry.
So, my question is, do you foresee any reasons why it could have happened based on the plugin and theme combination?

Hello,
Nothing happens for no reason at all, our theme does not delete images from your website. Please try to provide more details to your problem. Maybe you installed a plugin or made some customizations. If the problem reappears you can try to disable your plugins except visual composer, clear your cache and purge CDN files if you use it.
Based on what you wrote, we cannot know what caused the problem.
@Schuchi
I have checked your website and images seem to display fine: http://screencast.com/t/MIKlEtXdmrF – http://screencast.com/t/jcDV79FNFpTN
Let us know if the problem reappears.
Thank you!
Hi
Visual Composer plugin was not intended to work on posts with our theme and some features will not work fine in that case. When this plugin it’s used on posts the html structure change and the css code no longer applies as usually, that’s why the text doesn’t warp around the image.
As you suggested using a text block could be a solution to warp text around the image when VC it’s enabled for posts: http://screencast.com/t/EhVcxFeDxVc – http://screencast.com/t/CgKaaxQxI5
Thanks!
Hi
Visual Composer plugin has been updated because of some security vulnerabilities. The 4.7.4 version of the VC plugin, is already available in latest theme version package (6.5.1) so you should make sure you download the latest theme version from your themeforest account, downloads section: http://themeforest.net/downloads then update the Visual Composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks!
Hi,
Please create a few test posts (about 8) and add featured images to them. You can use the same image if you want.
Then when you add a block element on your page using visual composer, the block settings will appear: http://screencast.com/t/8o9SoWHQ – http://screencast.com/t/RfL2Ew0CcTO. There are a few option like the number of posts. If you only have 4 posts it will not slide because it will have nothing to slide to. You have to change this option to at least 8. Now your slider should appear and slide through your posts.
There are a number of other settings to a block element.
The first thing we recommend when using our theme for the first time is to check the documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/ You will find very useful information in there.
You can also check our Youtube Chanel for video tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/user/tagdiv
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Hi,
Please clear all the caches, also check this only with Visual Composer and Woocommerce active and also check the Woocommerce settings for this. Also you can check the Woocommerce documentation – https://docs.woothemes.com/documentation/plugins/woocommerce/ as the theme supports Woocommerce, there are just few implementations for templates(for example add custom sidebar in Theme Panel..), the theme doesn’t alter the plugins settings.
So if you use cache plugin I suspect that it is the problem.
Thanks!
When a I create a post and apply a featured image with post template style 1, the post appears the way I like it. The featured image is in the top left with text to the right side wrapping the image. Then when I use visual composer the featured image now stands by it self at the top of the post and the text is below the featured image. There is no text wrapping. Does visual composer ignore the style 1?
Do I have to turn off the featured image setting for posts and use the text block in visual composer inserting an image to the left
so i got an email from envato (oct 11) saying that i should update my visual composer plug-in to 4.7.4… my current plug-in settings show it’s 4.7.1.1 … they gave me instructions (which are pretty inconveniencing on how to do this, since i’m more for automation), but what i don’t get is the link they sent, which takes me to http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 … i can’t download the update there unless i get the plug-in for $34. i just purchasd the newspaper theme less than a month ago and i understand that all updates to plug-ins are included here.

Visual Composer Plugin Update Steps
Log in to codecanyon.net and proceed to download the latest version of Visual Composer to your computer from this URL: http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431
Locate and unzip the downloaded plugin file.
Connect to your server using an FTP client and upload the js_composer directory (from the downloaded zip file) to the wp-content/plugins/ directory. (Note: This will overwrite the old Visual Composer files with the secure versions.)
Log into WordPress and navigate to the Plugins page to confirm the Visual Composer plugin is version 4.7.4
The link to the latest version, provided above, will be live for 3 weeks from the time this email was sent. After this period, you will need to access the latest version via your theme zip file.
Please note: This replaces the existing plugin under the licensing of the theme(s) you’ve purchased and is only licensed for use in these themes.

sidenote: i have a themeforest account and not a code canyon.
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer and check your site again. I have checked your site and saw you have quite a number of them installed. Sometimes plugins cause more problems than solutions and incompatibility between them is experienced very often.
Let us know how it goes.
Hello,
You can add an adbox element from visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/pGpcCwybfoXu and select a custom ad spot: http://screencast.com/t/90xyuon1rc1. Make sure you have an ad in the theme panel custom ads section you selected.
result: http://screencast.com/t/TExPtxVAIQ
Our theme was built to work with adsense but you can use custom ads as well
You can read more about ads in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-ad-spots/
Thank you!
Hi,
You can test this without any plugins active, except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. I could not recreate this on my side – http://screencast.com/t/UGzeTsdpA – http://screencast.com/t/5kF1wpI4
Do you get a blank page when you use a page as megamenu? Or do you get an error?
You can check the browser console for errors..
Thanks!
Hello,
The page that you tried to change uses visual composer elements (a text block more precise). These titles will not be changed from the theme page fonts. You can change the modules and blocks font as well but the text box is a visual composer element and it’s title is not controlled by the theme. You can target it with css if you want to change it:
this will override all your headings to the font you want:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6{
font-family: Helvetica Neue!important;
}
Or if you want to target just the text block:
.wpb_text_column h1{
font-family: Helvetica Neue!important;
}
Thank you!
Hi
The indicated site doesn’t use our theme so I can’t say how that page it’s built but you can check our documentation for more information about page customization: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
If you need further instructions in this regard please provide more details.
Thanks!
Hi
The theme doesn’t have an option to add text on columns but you can use Visual Composer to achieve that. First you need to enable it for posts: http://screencast.com/t/Jh1zE0tL then use a text block on a layout with the desired number of columns: http://screencast.com/t/JrJ1zZK4J – http://screencast.com/t/gibZlJhNmDFV If you’re using within a post you will need some css customization, so add a custom css class in raw settings: http://screencast.com/t/kF1TDaqeTNH9 then the css code in theme panel custom css like here:
.text-colons.td-pb-row [class*="td-pb-span"]{
border-left: 0;
}
The result should be like here: http://screencast.com/t/CjZRWuWgZiFH
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks!
Hello Pandian,
Please make sure you update your theme to the latest version and also update visual composer. (It comes with the theme) https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/. The old accordion element is deprecated and you need to use the new accordion that comes with the latest version of visual composer. Unfortunately you will have to recreate your FAQ section.
As for the repeating posts, i could not see them repeating. It is random as you said, but a theme update could fix that as well. Just make sure the blocks are set to display latest posts not random ones.
Let me know how it goes!
Best of luck!
Hello,
If you want to use the video demo, you can import just the layout without content from the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/PF1H95NhiV
You can then chose the block style from block settings in visual composer to get the colored image overlay: http://screencast.com/t/5P2Jhvils – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-3/ Chose the big-grid style you want. you can also see them here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/category-grid-styles/
WHen you create a new block element in visual composer you can chose the style from the block settings: http://screencast.com/t/FOh0OB5Xm
Thank you!
Hello George,
Thank you for your kind words.
Unfortunately the theme has no option to do that. You will need custom work in order to do it. You can find the related articles file here: http://screencast.com/t/fVg9v7J7. It will not be an easy job to remove each section from the tab layout and place it on the post page. We suggest you hire a freelancer if you really want this done because we cannot offer any custom work at the moment.
As an alternative, you can try to use visual composer on posts and setup a few blocks but this option is not tested and can create some issues. You can check the option here: http://screencast.com/t/VIK0eLoAsJT, but you will have to add the blocks on every post you make if you use this option.
Thank you!
Hi,
1. Just set a description for your category(ies) – http://screencast.com/t/48oLwJpE3E and set style 6 for your category, also upload a background image – http://screencast.com/t/BhtuUzhR
Please provide a link so we can take a look if you have issue with this.
2. If you want to change the size of a specific thumb you have to edit td_config.php file. Here you can find and the thumb size that are created and used on modules – http://screencast.com/t/iN6Z1VaVqQw.
As you can see this size is used on more modules and blocks, so if you don’t want to change this for all elements, you can easily add a new size there(just copy all the thumb code and change the size) – http://screencast.com/t/sLm5MMcGf and use it on a specific module(for example module 10 is used on block 11 ) – http://screencast.com/t/SyNHPWYo Don’t forget to regenerate your thumbs – https://forum.tagdiv.com/using-the-theme-with-existing-content/
The theme doesn’t have an option to change the background color for content, but on page content if you use Visual Composer pagebuilder you can add a background color to the row – http://screencast.com/t/szuzQftGrOm – http://screencast.com/t/Awsua5q1b1K
Thanks!
