Hello publicenvoy,
You can use visual composer on posts as well: http://screencast.com/t/hwKF5MsSH9, but this feature is not tested.
You can create your own sidebar to display then add widgets to it from appearance->widgets.
http://screencast.com/t/SdKZIMOUDe
You can read more in our documentation about it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebars-tutorial/
I hope helps.
Thank you!
Hello t-user,
You can try to upload the plugin via ftp. You can find it in the /plugins folder from files that you download from themeforest – http://screencast.com/t/9vFPNCUhK0
connect to your server, go to the /plugins folder, unzip the Visual Composer upload it – http://screencast.com/t/kD3YPsT9nj
It is similar procedure to updating the theme via ftp, but instead just upload the Visual Composer in the plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Let me know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version and check this only with Visual Composer active, disable all other plugins and clear cache, maybe the issue is caused by a plugin and refresh an article and see if the view counter increments.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have remove your login credentials as this is a public forum and it is not a good idea to post them here.
Please make sure that you use the latest theme version and also the Visual Composer version provided with the theme.
Check this only with Visual Composer active, disable all other plugins and clear cache, it should work exactly like on our demo.
Thanks!
Hello,
You have to be more specific and point us to the link that’s not working because I can’t find it on your site. It could be a plugin issue though. Try to disable all plugins except visual composer and see if it works. If the problem is still there, provide more details.
For the second part, I see you have the categories already set up on your block titles. Provide more details for what you would like to change
You can check the Ads section in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/above-footer-ad/
The big banner block (gadgets) is actually block 18, which you can use from visual composer when creating pages: http://screencast.com/t/lTJ1Rird
You can read about sidebar ads in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/sidebar-ads/
The editor picks in the footer section is demo content which comes with the first 8 styles of the footer.

Hi
The Visual Composer plugin provided with the theme is this one: http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 I was referring at this carousel block from it: http://screencast.com/t/BSUVvnWr3N We didn’t tested the plugin you indicated here: http://codecanyon.net/item/carousel-anything-for-visual-composer/8621711 with the theme so I cannot said how will work.
You can check the browser’s console if there are some errors and try to fix them, also try this with a default WordPress theme and see how it works.
Thanks!
Hi,
Do you use the latest theme version and Visual Composer? I have also checked this but I could not find any issues – http://screencast.com/t/Nak6Awmmex0K – http://screencast.com/t/WnkGrWc8
Please use the instructions from the guide below to update the theme and the FTP method to do it and also make sure that you make a backup of your current theme installation so you can revert back to it in case something goes wrong.

Hi,
You fix a single widget(element) only on pages where you can add td-ss-row class to the row – https://forum.tagdiv.com/smart-sidebar-2/ But for post pages or other templates where you cannot use Visual Composer, all the widgets(from you custom sidebar) will stick.
Thanks!
I did not realise you could use visual composer on individual pages. Doy! My bad, I should be able to fix it now. Thanks!
Hi,
http://www.caproasia.com/trivial/
It is supposed to be displayed as a quote box.
For example: in this article, the did you know quote box.
http://www.caproasia.com/2015/09/18/bloomberg-or-reuters/
Previously, there was no problem with the display until the recent updates. It works only if I deactivate WPBakery Visual Composer. But I lost the use of visual composer.
Please help. Thanks.
I have added a list of 3 videos in the home page using visual composer, (and then, i copied the same videos, and made a total of 6 videos, only for test purpose). I have selected the Youtube video list module.
Immediately after i save the changes, i saw the next error in the backend: (and i can’t come back to the admin panel)
Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress-clean-new6.4/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_video_playlist_support.php on line 297

In the front end i can see the changes perfectly, but i can’t be able to use the admin panel again.
Hi I would li like to try this, but this plugin “Visual Composer” is embed in your theme, is not on wp-content/plugins/ folder, so how can I test this?
I test this separated carousel on android phones
http://codecanyon.net/item/carousel-anything-for-visual-composer/8621711
and it works fine, so I think is some relationship whit your NewsMag theme
Hello acid2k1,
It would be advised not to post your login details here as it is a public forum.
The theme uses a custom function to cut excerpts to a given length (x characters/x words). It can be found in the theme panel and it can be customized on different modules: http://screencast.com/t/RwdWhZuiO
Please try to disable all of your plugins except visual composer and see if the problem is still there. It could be a plugin conflict.
If the problem persists after that please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access and we will inspect this issue closer, also include a link to this topic.
Thank you!
Hi
The tabs are built in blocks from Visual Composer and can’t be added in sidebar area, but you can use a 2/3+1/3 layout in VC for a similar layout: http://screencast.com/t/wEhf1TvARv0 – http://screencast.com/t/gLLl6HVIpG
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry, now i see what you mean.
Please try to disable all your plugins except visual composer because sometimes these can interfere with the theme. If the problem is still there, provide a link to your website so we can closer inspect the issue.
Thank you!
Hello Nadeem,
I have tested ads on sidebar using shortcodes and it works for banner ads and adsense. you can create a simple textbox in visual composer and add your shortcode there:
http://screencast.com/t/K5qoxsg2z – http://screencast.com/t/YzAvo678F50
You can also use the plugin method PatWire sugested. AdRotate is tested and works fine with our theme.
Thank you.
Hello dthreatt,
You can use the video playlist element in visual composer for youtube and vimeo: http://screencast.com/t/yTMHC2afA.
You can read more in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-2/
Thank you.
Hi
The carousel it’s a built in Visual Composer block and the theme doesn’t affect it’s functionality, so may be a issue from the plugin. Try this with a default theme from WordPress and see how it works.
Thanks!

Hello ,
You can edit your homepage in visual composer and use different blocks to display posts.
In the demo you will see the types of blocks you can use: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
Just add them in visual composer: http://screencast.com/t/neC5EpSW6
You can find useful information in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thank you!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Social Counter. To make sure please deactivate and delete it – http://screencast.com/t/IBddMaEHhq and install it from – http://screencast.com/t/nChxmG4W6I
Also check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer and Social Counter, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. If the issue persist try to add a different id(fb, twitter..) see if the counter works then re-add your id so you will refresh it.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
Hello davidtiquet,
As i understand you need to use the “your latest posts” homepage which uses the index.php file but with a different layout, one resembling newsmag homepage. This requires some custom modifications which we cannot provide. But i can point you in the right direction:
You will need a bit of PHP knowledge to do this.
You can use a function: <?php echo do_shortcode(''); ?> in your index.php file below the like so: http://screencast.com/t/D092zLsbJtq. (You need to add it to that specific container or it will lose its styling.)
Inside the shortcode function you will place the visual composer shortcodes you see in classic mode: http://screencast.com/t/g0C1VpiMWA – http://screencast.com/t/g0C1VpiMWA.
It should llok like this: <?php echo do_shortcode('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_2][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][td_block_15][/vc_column][/vc_row]'); ?>.
This will bring the blocks from visual composer to your index page.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hi,
The Visual Composer plugin is required to customize your pages/posts with theme’s elements and the theme is deigned based on it so you couldn’t use other page builder. Latest version of the VC plugin haven’t been reported as affecting site’s performance anymore.
To improve your server response time you can also try to reduce the number of queries (fewer plugins, fewer blocks on page, reduce the elements which use ajax requests/pagination like mega menus/load more/infinite load), also consider using a cache plugin and to improve the loading speed look the mysql query cache: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-cache.html We also use it on our demo. If you haven’t already, you can try a caching plugin, like WP Super Cache or cloudflare’s CDN.
You can also contact your host provider and let them know about this, they might have specific info on what is the cause of this in your case.
There are many factors which can be taken into consideration concerning server’s response time. You can use google’s improvement recommendation on this: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/Server
Wordpress.org has some optimization tips also: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Optimization
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the message!

Hello Breus2,
You can select a specific page to become your homepage from the ‘reading’ section under ‘settings’ like so: http://screencast.com/t/6ljQQvrZdWv.
You can also read our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
You can create your homepage to your preference using visual composer. Create a simple page and use this tutorial to customize it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
You can browse through other topics in our documentation. You will find them very useful.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
Thanks for the response:
Let me explain a bit better. The titles on the posts that are created link to the internal post on my site. I want to have them be the original url of the post. For example if you go to punchme.beerpoint.us – i used visual composer advanced grid without issues to create posts with read more that link to the original post on an external site.
When you look at the content blocks below that section and the main reason i bought this template – the posts go to the internal site post and not link to the external URL.
Hello,
Please check your individual pages and edit them in visual composer, because there is no global page template in the theme panel. You can either add elements in visual composer or add a predefined layout: http://screencast.com/t/sZHKnZ6dMp. There are also 3 types of templates here: http://screencast.com/t/cWDSm0gF9
As for posts there are multiple post templates some with margins others without: You can change post templates in the theme panel for global settings: http://screencast.com/t/NBB2OsY7O7, or on individual posts: http://screencast.com/t/6VNPoqjI.
If this is not what you mean, provide more detailes so we can better understand the problem.
Thank you.
