- TutorialsHow to Update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
Hi guys,
I thought I would share this in case anybody had the same problem.
After upgrading to Newspaper 6 I experienced lots of problems with plugin Ultimate Add Ons for Visual Composer. Very annoying as I use it everywhere.
In case you have similar problems with this (incorrectly displaying, freezing, etc) the solution is to update to the latest version of the plugin, go to the plugin settings and under the “Scripts and Styles” tab set “Optimise CSS” and “Optimise JS” to ON.
As you were.
Hi,
@tmoncada Your instagram counter works fine – http://screencast.com/t/ovSwpaQRxhl1
@r1kay Please make sure that you use the latest version of the Social Counter provided with the theme version that you use and also check this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer and Social Counter active, clear cache and see if you still have this problem. There is an issue with instagram counter, but we did not get any reports about fb and twitter. Also you can upgrade to the version 6 of the theme if you want – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Thanks!
Hi,
I have checked your site and you have many errors in the console, so please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issues. If it doesn’t happen anymore activate the plugins one by one and see which one cause this, also delete all unnecessarily plugins.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the full image in the gallery and not a thumb, this is the full image size that you use – http://screencast.com/t/SOaL3YYfu
I have also checked this with your full image and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/xSxALJ9LMJM – http://screencast.com/t/zumZ1RgN The image is resized to fit in the container(420px height). Also you can check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer and create a new gallery then see if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
Is it possible to add a custom ad directly to post content via some shortcode?
After reading this tutorial: https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/ I know I can use Visual Composer to add a custom ad to any page and that’s fine. But what about post content?
I can always use a 3rd party WordPress plugin, but I would like to do it directly with my theme (Newsmag).
Hi,
On default template the sidebar will not be added automatically, you will have to add it in the page content using pagebuilder. You will have to split the row and use Widgetised sidebar block – http://screencast.com/t/ppGnRNXH9o1g or add directly Visual Composer elements there – http://screencast.com/t/m4mEG2V9pt
If you use Pagebuilder with title the sidebar will be added automatically – http://screencast.com/t/YcuuaMoVXQ or you can use full width page content(without sidebar) and add it manually like above for default template.
Hope this helps!
You mean sites like this and these, right?
To be frank, I laughed when I read this post. It would be more than a waste of money, it would be very hard to adapt this theme to a single-page website. It’s designed for displaying blocks of articles, columns, sidebars, category headers, attractive search, various menus and footers, ads, etc. etc., all of which is useless for a single-page website. I’m not even sure you can easily adapt this theme to go full-width as most single-page website are. The one feature you could potentially make good use of is Visual Composer.
I don’t envy you. Dealing with a client who has no idea what his needs are is hell. I’m not staff, but my advice would be to try to convince the client to go with something sane. You’ll lose your mind trying to turn this theme into something unrecognizable.
Hi
@mhmtky Lucian replied you via dashboard.
@charlie_moreno That issue can be caused by theme’s lazy load animation, by a plugin or a minimized js. You can try to deactivate lazy load http://screencast.com/t/GoGXYNlIUdnW plugins also, leave just Visual Composer, disable any js compression tool if you’re using, clear the cache and test again. Also check in console if you have any errors.
Let me know how it goes and if the problem persist please provide a link so I can inspect this issue closer!
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately the page doesn’t have different styles like posts, it has only 3 templates – http://screencast.com/t/Nje0k5syoR2H as the page template was not designed to work like post, the pagebuilder(add Visual Composer elements) is used more to create pages, sorry!
Thanks!
Hi pulung,
I have managed to access your site now and can seen the issues you refer too: http://screencast.com/t/Chs3AkL8 This can be caused by a plugin so make sure you also test this without any plugins active, first empty all caches then disable all of them leaving active just the Visual Composer plugin and test again.
If this is still happening afterwards please provide your admin login details via email at contact@tagidv.com so we can have a closer look at your issue. Please also include a link to this topic if you decide to send us your admin credentials via email.
Thanks
Hi,
Please check this also without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue with background color.
Also please note that the background color that you use on category page it will be applied also on posts from that specific category so make sure that you have set the same category(primary category) also for this posts – http://www.virtualmagie.org/articles/critiques/videomania/fucking-coins-de-philippe-bougard-clement-kerstenne/ – http://screencast.com/t/k9uOaRQ0IQ As I have checked this and Videomania category has a white background color – http://screencast.com/t/W5TaZ1ccY0w
Thanks!
Hi,
The page fonts will not be applied if the pagebuilder is used to create your page. If you use Visual Composer pagebuilder you have some options in Theme Panel > Theme Fonts for tagdiv block and modules – http://screencast.com/t/daHSTaz1q0 and for text content you can use Text block – http://screencast.com/t/f4qmS8Tq9
Please provide more details if this is not what you mean and also a link where you have an issue.
Thanks!
Hi there,
I’m trying to test Newspaper 6 on a staging site.
So far I’ve:
– Deleted old theme,
– Deleted Visual Composer
– Installed new theme
– Installed visual composer
– Run the update script
My problem is that I have literally hundreds of posts that use the shortcodes such as [quote_box_right][/quote_box_right]
These posts are now just showing the short code as plain text rather than converted to the new format.
Please help!
Hi,
What version of visual composer plugin you use and how many posts/pages you have and also have you tried increasing the memory allocated to php limit: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP
Also try to check the error.log file, it may contain something related to this issue.
Thanks!
Hi
I still can’t find the issue on your site. Try to deactivate all plugins, except Visual Composer, clear the cache, browser cache also: https://kb.iu.edu/d/ahic purge cdn files if you use any and test again.
Let me know how it goes and if it still happens and provide more details so can I recreate this on my side!
Hi,
The theme allows shortcode (in post html editor or in the code) but you will have to create your warning message box using Visual Composer elements (for example in a text block), take the shortcode – http://screencast.com/t/FiPcJiIOjPSL and use do_shortcode function to add in the the template file(s) if you want to appear on all of your articles(as reference how this function is used) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/move-the-bottom-article-ad-spot-below-the-share-bar/ or past only the shortcode in the post content – http://screencast.com/t/TzjVXW1Q4Ul
Thanks!
Yes since update. Before i could use your shortcode.
Sorry, now with Visual Composer it is tricky, complicated and SCHEISSE! Please send me the shortcodes like [dropcap] X [/dropcap]
Thank you!
Hi,
Please disable all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, also re-save your permalinks and clear cache. If you don’t have this issue anymore please activate your plugins one by one and see which one cause this issue.
If your issue is not solved you can send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Hi,
Unfortunately we did not tested the theme with WP Rocket so I don’t know if it cause this issue or it is a conflict between plugins. Please deactivate all plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. If it is fixed, please activate your plugins one by one and see which one cause this.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer, install and activate it from here – http://screencast.com/t/sICGwGTQXQTh and check the version – http://screencast.com/t/pSDK3ooFurWV If you need to update the Visual Composer plugin, please remove the old plugin and update to the latest version provided with the theme.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. If you want to add search bar in your page content, please make sure that all elements are selected to appear, from Visual Composer settings – http://screencast.com/t/akmVAQPCA and use Wp Search block – http://screencast.com/t/Yv4n7t6m044 or use Search widget if you want to add it in the sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/UHcVH3Kezh
2. I’m not sure what you mean, “td_block_social_counter”(social counter plugin) or “td_block_3″(tagdiv block) are blocks shortcodes. You can add all blocks using Visual Composer pagebuider and edit each of them – http://screencast.com/t/zRzUONBPi – https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the great theme! A few quick questions:
1. When I use Visual Composer on any page this error message comes up when I update and preview the webpage?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_column_offset_class_merge() in/home3/brettc81/public_html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_column.php on line 22
2. How do I change the color of the category tags on the home page?
3. Is there a way to create category specific tags?
Thanks,
Brett
Hi,
1. Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an from widget or element. You could use an online tool to build and generate your form code and then use Visual Composer’s raw code elements or wp text widget to pace your code to the page: http://screencast.com/t/QhmLzppvb I haven’t tested this but it could work.
If it doesn’t you suggest you search and use a plugin for this.
2. I don’t think contact form 7 plugin can be used to generate search forms. You need another plugin for that, you could try to use: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-advanced-search/ or https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-wp-query-search-filter/
Hope this helps you!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
The theme doesn’t add og:video to your site, it must come from a plugin that you use. Also the cache doesn’t ad og: meta, but if you disable all your plugins and you don’t empty cache, the page will still be delivered by cache, the settings will not be applied. So please check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer and Seo by Yoast active, clear cache and remove all css/js minifications and then check again if you still have this issue. Also disable CDN.
If this doesn’t help please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this conversation so we can know who you are and what your issue is.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active, also empty cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Check if the issue is still there and if is not please activate your plugins one by one and check which one cause the issue.
Also please note that if you use jetpack photon, it could cause issues like this, we haven’t tested it with the theme so it would be best to disable it.
Thanks!
