Earlier I used child theme and used visual composer and custom coding to design the pages. But now I’m designing site from scratch using tagdiv composer. However, I don’t see new design implemented properly because of child theme. How can I remove child theme to get new design implemented. or how to inherit new design using child theme?
Please help
Hello eve,
You could try to manually upload the tagDiv Composer editor in the plugins folder. Simply unzip the plugin and upload it to the plugins folder in your WordPress installation by FTP. You can find more useful related information on this topic ->>

Hi guys
Just wanted to say that I hope you will keep VC in theme, cause your TC is so user unfriendly .. sorry
Tried to add simple revolution slider to top of page with some settings .. quantum physics. In VC i can add it in less then a minute, here it took me 5 minutes, my slideshow is still not ready .. not to mention to get whole frontpage done with all blocks, rows and columns. I’m using Newsmag for few years now (3 i believe), so i’m quite familiar with it’s functions and posibilities .. Tagdiv Composer is the one that stays disabled among plugins.
Just my few cents 🙂
Thank you Simion!
I’ve implemented the code and now its in line with the other categories/pages.
Is there a reason why the home page has a different header line height than the other category/post pages? I’m asking because the code provided seems to solve the problem but now the logo can be seen shifting from the original location to new location (200px lower) on the “home” page vs any other category or page. Is there a way to fix that? I’m asking because I’m presenting this website soon and I need the basic visual appearance and functions of the site to be intact.
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. The Newsmag theme does not have any options for a wider layout, the tagDiv composer provided with it as well does not. This would be one of the differences between the Newsmag theme and the Newspaper theme which is more flexible and has lots of increased or full width capabilities.
Forcing an increased width by code is not recommended, this will most likely damage the layout and elements inside it.
2. With the theme version you are using Instagram and the social counter (if you use it) will probably not work. Due to changes made by most socials quite a while back, we had to modify the theme to adapt to the new code. This happened in theme update 4.3, changelog here at the bottom of the page
– https://themeforest.net/item/newsmag-news-magazine-newspaper/9512331
– https://www.screencast.com/t/CDHizhmi61jB
Update the theme and Instagram and other socials should work again. Be sure to clear any cache you have after updating. Also the browser cache, or force refresh the page a few times (Ctrl+Shift+R).
3. Be sure to check the theme requirements guide carefully, top to bottom
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-requirements-for-newsmag/
Check if there are enough resources and the required PHP modules are active. Contact your hosting provider if necessary.
There will be problems with the theme and plugins if there are not enough resources.
Also do not edit pages created with WPBakery (Visual composer) with the tagDiv composer, this may result in damaged pages.
Thanks
I just installed it on a copy of my main site. All it seems to to is offer you a choice of editior for posts or pages. So to use the TagDiv editor you just choose clasic editor when you create a new page then you have access to it. I assume the full version 5 release will keep this functionality.
The update didnt break any pages or seem to effect the site in anyway.
There was some wierd text that i cant find again relating to WP Bakery visual composer. I dont know if you will be offering an update for that plug-in if its needed?
Hi,
In this page you display the latest articles since you use the default blog page it seems
– http://vards.net/
There is no control over the posts displayed there.
If you were to create a page with and choose the latest articles template
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TdIZ3g6uE
Then set that page as homepage
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
The result will be the same visually. But the difference is that you have control of what is displayed in the page.
The filter settings for the latest articles section are here for example
– https://www.screencast.com/t/Jo8bfFfjjdcN
Or here – https://www.screencast.com/t/QQoQiMvp
The latest articles section by default will show posts from all your categories. However it has the same filtering ans sorting as a block
– https://www.screencast.com/t/CdTQzkeqXjbP
If you don’t want posts from the “Coin Study” category in the latest articles enter the category ID with “-” before it

Visual composer also has image elements you can use. It also works how you are doing it by adding the links in the media library.
The tagDiv composer will not take those links into account at the moment, sorry for the inconvenience.
I have exactly the same issue. It happens when you do any change outside TagDiv editor while being on visual mode. Even if you don’t touch the content, wordpress will add some line breaks to the code and when you go back to TagDiv editor these line breaks will be interpreted as crazy nested < ul >’s.
Very annoying. Do you think there could be any solution for this? I can explain this situation to the content editors, but it’s not that easy to make everyone understand it completely, and besides, you have to be extremely careful because you can very easily break the pages.
Hi,
Do you use an older WPBakery plugin with a newer theme, or maybe old theme with a new WPBakery version? Try to use the WPBakery provided in the theme package you currently have installed
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
If you have a purchased license for the WPBakery page builder, use the same version as in the theme package. Don’t update the plugin unless the same version you update to is provided with the theme.
Hello,
I’m not being able to figure out why this is happening, please help me because the code doesn’t offer me a good clear sight of things and of the changes I want to make. See the pic -> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1czbLrLISLwq00xGcmcGR4tgDdJQvN9zd/view?usp=sharing
VERY slow loads to website and WP. Wondering why it takes forever for site to load as well as for me to edit the site. Often getting 503 errors. I read that having both tagdiv composer and Visual Composer plugins installed could be the root cause and while I know I had tagdiv composer plugin installed, I don’t see any other composer. Need help troubleshooting please.

I’m running Newspaper v 8.8.2 and WPBakery Page Builder version 5.5.1 is showing up under installed plugins and is asking to be updated to Version 5.5.2 The plugin author’s page advises to buy a separate license even if you got WPBakery in a theme (naturally they want more sales).
Luckily I saw on this TagDiv page that we don’t need to purchase a separate license. It does however say we should uninstall the plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
I’m worried about uninstalling it because I might then lose access to the TD Visual Composer? Do I need to follow the instructions at the above link to remove the WPBakery plugin? Am I ok just to do nothing and let the plugin continue complaining about needing an update? I’m assuming the next theme update would fix this.
Thanks,
Janelle
Hello VisArtCBR,
Unfortunately, the theme does not have any such an option for Carousel, sorry! You can try using the Carousel Image element from Visual Composer as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/ZqsjiQc8ZcL Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
You must be using an older version of the theme and also plugins, that version of the Visual composer (now WPBakery page builder) would be a couple of years old.
We introduced the tagDiv composer in version 8.0 of the theme as the new main page builder, please check the changelog at the bottom of this page
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Many new features in the theme are only for this composer, not WPBakery.
If you use such an old theme version, there will probably be issues using the theme with latest WordPress as well. It is recommenced and good practice to keep WordPress, the theme and plugins up to date if possible
In the changelog you can see the many new additions, fixes and other changes made in the theme. This is an update guide if you decide to update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
After you update the tagDiv composer plugin will be activated automatically. As a note, if you update and you used WPBakery on posts, there could be problems with the post layout. Also there could be problems with page elements specific to WPBakery.
If any of these problems are present, it would be best for the moment to deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin.
Thanks
Hello dk,
I have inspected your homepage and I saw that error. This error happened due because I saw that you are using an old version of Visual Composer as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/JiRU8kUQ Please update the theme and update that plugin with the version which comes bundled with our packet.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I tested this again, the tagDiv composer can be activated along the WPBakery page builder. There could be problems visually or in functionality when both are active however.
WPBakery specific elements or layouts may not display properly, or if you also used the builder to create posts.
We could take a look if you cannot activate the tagDiv composer, send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login.
Having 2 page builders active require more resources so make sure there is enough WP memory, for most users a value of 256M would be sufficient

Hi,
The WPBakery page builder’s frontend editor is disabled in our theme, this has been the case from the start I believe
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
It could only be enabled by making a modification in the theme files if this is required. Try making the modification mentioned in this similar topic
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-enable-frontend-editor-mode-in-visual-composer/
Hi Everyone,
I am having a issue when i try to edit my fronpage. When i try to edit a page, visual composer is not working.
WPBakery Visual Composer verison is: 4.1.2. I saw some post saying use tagDiv Composer instead of visual composer but i dont know how to install it – it does not show up anywehere
Need your guide.
Thanks.
Having multiple issues with homepage. Updated theme and working to load TagDiv composer, but TagDiv composer not loading — get the “endless loading circle” described by other users.
Prior to this, page was not allowing me to save any changes in the Visual Composer. Was using classic mode as work around. But…
Now, classic mode indicates correct code, but elements are still not functioning and I have no way to edit via (Visual or TagDiv Composers). So I’m stuck. For example, single image box sizing incorrectly and Big Grid not displaying selected filtered posts (grey box).
Trying to recreate the pages (as instructed), but can’t even get started.
https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/#
I would like to add square, large images in the form of blocks. I’m using Visual Composer. I see that you have a Module 13 in your demo. How can I use that? None of the blocks seem to let me use square, or almost square photos in thumbnails. Basically I want it to not crop it on center, but show the image fully as a thumbnail (reduced size).
So you recommend not to use a h1 in the blog visual editor as the title is already h1?
Considering I don’t want 2 h2 on any given page.
