Hi,
Please make sure that you have updated the theme properly using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also 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 delete the old plugin and update the latest version. Let me know how it goes!
Thanks!
It’s strange though because the two sites has almost the same settings and I didn’t import the theme.
I have deactivated the plugin except for Visual Composer, but still the same. Really strange.
Hi,
Not sure why you have this issue as I have checked you site and did not found any issue in the console. Please disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer and make sure that you change the fonts for the right module. I also tested this and did not found any issues, for example block 15 you have to change the fonts for article title for module mx4 – http://screencast.com/t/jek7zmwcd – http://screencast.com/t/eUOURMq0d
I also checked your post and I see that you managed to change the font for post content – http://screencast.com/t/Ah8LSencDNR so it should work also for your post title for each post style that you use – http://screencast.com/t/KAxJ1MV34tf
Thanks!
Hi,
What version of Visual Composer do you use? Please make sure that you use the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/PoDVLgGFQGy
Thanks!
Hello!
On Post Settings, I have enabled Author, Date and Excerpt, although that doesn’t control all the blocks because some were not designed to have the author, like you said 🙂 It might be better to put individual settings on Visual Composer for each Block Module for easier editing. Just a suggestion 🙂
Just having problems with Block 17. Module 4 and module 8 doesn’t have the comment out code, http://imgur.com/nww2Fx4.
Thank you!
Hi,
Please disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer and remove any css/js compression, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. These js errors usually are caused by plugins that conflict with theme javascript, also please make sure that you use the latest version of the theme 6.2.
Thanks!
Hi,
For pages if you use blocks added using Visual Composer you will have to change the fonts for block title, excerpt, articles titles, please check Theme Fonts – http://screencast.com/t/xYlnzI7qFYem
Thanks!

Also you can find the old version of the theme in the package that you have downloaded from themeforest in /old folder – http://screencast.com/t/ZvCaPuTYQ

Hi,
Please make sure that you delete the old version of Social Counter, then install and activate the new version of the plugin – http://screencast.com/t/qScPww6guj6 and make sure that it is the latest version – http://screencast.com/t/Mwqpwjj9rtM
You can find and use Social Counter block via Visual Composer in a page or you can use this widget in a sidebar – http://screencast.com/t/daFmoQSgb and just paste your ID like this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-set-social-counter/
Thanks!
Hi,
You still have these errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/w4N9ecUi and affect ajax pagination, search… all elements which use ajax requests. Please deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and purge your files, then check if you still have this issue. Also disable any css/ js minifications. Please also check your page source and see if css/js minification is removed.
Thanks!

Hi!
I want to set a different sidebar for the homepage. After following this tutorial https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/different-sidebars-on-homepage-and-inner-pages/, i created a new sidebar but i don’t know how to use it on the homepage. I’ve created a template using the visual composer tool. But i don’t know how to activate it. Please help or share the steps for the same
There is very specific instruction in the theme documentation available on this site for updating from an older version to v6/v6.1. It includes methods by which certain parts have to be removed and then new replacement installed. Be sure to follow those exactly. You cannot simply update the Visual Composer, for example, by uploading the new plugin over the old one. The old one has to be deactivated and fully deleted before uploading the new version in most cases.
There are multiple ways to do some of the steps listed in the upgrade documentation, so it’s tempting to use the method you know best that usually gets you the end result desired. Don’t give into familiarity. Follow the instructions precisely. They’re specific for good reason.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
Thank you, Marius. I’m very pleased with how it came out. Even more so because the theme is faster than ever. You guys did a great job with the v6 update. Bravo.
But I haven’t fixed it, just found a temporary fix that doesn’t seem as obviously broken while we work on it. Here are the problems:
1. Categories Filter ** This was my bad. Didn’t correct the offset properly for the block after the ad while building the page.
Category filtering in blocks on the home page I’ve built is set as default, to show all categories, but it’s only showing the first category, alphabetically, from the site (Cowboys Blog). I’ve tried updating it several times and checking the other categories but no luck. All categories work fine when I select them individually, but not when selecting “All Categories” from the filter. This occurs with and without unique articles enabled, and after all caches have been cleared.
2. Newspaper Block Shortcodes in VC
Visual Composer is really not reading the themes blocks. See the screenshot for what I see:

That has remained constant on InsideTheStar.com (Main Site) while it was not a problem on Dev.InsideTheStar.com (Development Site, also live). It remains constant whether I use v6.1 parent or child theme, and whether I use VC v4.3.5 or v.4.5.3. I’ve checked upload type (binary vs. ascii) and uploaded fresh copies from the theme directory of the whole theme multiple times. I’ve also removed VC via both methods and reinstalled but no fix, yet.
I was able to create the homepage I’m using now by taking the page on my dev site, reverting to the classic editor so it would show me the VC shortcodes, and copied those shortcodes into the classic editor on the homepage for the main site. I couldn’t use the blocks any other way. With VC v.4.5.3 (as distributed with Newspaper v6.1) I couldn’t even edit those blocks at all on the main site, just move them around (couldn’t edit, duplicate, or delete them from the VC editor).
3. VC Editor Styles
I’m also seeing this issue while using Newspaper v6.1 with VC v4.3.5 (the only version I can access this following screen from):

I can still use the box with that broken style for the tabs up top, but it hints at the main problem, I’d think.
I would have liked to get it figured out already, but all I was able to do was get the site limping well enough that most visitors won’t notice (it’s a production site).
Any ideas? The only thing worth noting from the system info tab of the theme is that I’m running at 40mb instead of 64mb. It’s not the problem, though. Both the main site and dev site are running on the same host with the same setups, and the dev site is not experiencing any troubles with VC v.4.3.5.

Hi,
Newspaper 6 should be regarded like a new theme, as the theme was practically rewritten. You can check our demo and see what features were added like smart sidebar(sticky), smart lists, more modules/blocks more Big Grid blocks(not only Big Slider like in version 4) – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/
Also all Visual Composer elements are supported, there is an issue in old version of the theme, many Visual Composer elements are not compatible and are disabled from functions – http://screencast.com/t/tMq0cVUE
It is compatible with bbpress(there are not any customization, use full plugin) and woocommerce you can check in our demo how forum and shop look. Please note that if you update the files modifications and custom css will not work in new version and you need to customize it again.
Please use this guide if you want to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and make a full backup before.
Thanks!
Hi
This was an issue generated by the previous version of the VC plugin including the 4.4.4 version which was included in the version of the theme you use and it has been fixed within latest version of Visual Composer plugin.
We will release an update for the theme within next week, test and include the latest version of the VC plugin then in theme’s package but if you don’t want to wait until then you can make a request for it via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will send ti to you but consider that we haven’t tested it with the the theme yet so we can’t guarantee it will work flawless.
Please let us know via email on your decision and also include a link tot his tread.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry we have missed as we believed that it was solved: “nevermind i got them thank you for the support” also please create other thread as we put topics on resolved when users resolve their issues.
What version of Visual Composer do you use? You will have to revert to version provided with 4.6.3 version if this you are using. You can find it here – http://screencast.com/t/XMAUkWRZ7Ow and please delete current version of Visual Composer that you use via FTP and upload this version from /old folder.
Also for child theme please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com with you request and also paste a link to this topic so we can know who you are.
Thanks!
Hi,
Not sure why you get this issue as I have checked you page content and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/KidRmX4ZvmdV please check this without any plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. What page template do you use? – http://screencast.com/t/HpdiiLgk4H Also you can try to filter by all categories and see if it work(I see that you filer by specific category). Provide a link to this page.
Thanks!
Hi,
1. Please try this custom css – http://screencast.com/t/efIGxQIqT
.comments #author, .comments #email, .comments #url {
display: none;
}
2. You need to make this change in the code as the related articles code you can find it in the loop single file – http://screencast.com/t/UONppi1E and the loop file is called in the single template above the comments(3 cases – sidebar default, left and without sidebar) – http://screencast.com/t/LcFGBTCrf So you need to find a solution for this
* move related articles from loop file bellow the comments for each case – http://screencast.com/t/Iwt27i8O
* move comments to the loop single file – http://screencast.com/t/VQoOAcgi71es – http://screencast.com/t/rwmluRVk
You have to do this for each post template/style that you use.
3. Please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer, clear cache and see if twitter count works.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please deactivate all plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN and see if you still have this issue. The html structure is incomplete, you have only header on the post page – http://screencast.com/t/R1nRt0GJH6V
Thanks!

Hi. My hosting provider, Siteground, is notifying me of high cpu usage on my website. The problem seems to be related to admin-ajax.php script used by visual composer in your theme. Can you help me ?
Nice nice indeed, even if i don´t understand the language (newspaper and visual are exactly working good here, because i can “see” without “knwing” the language that its a goodsite)
One question, which plugin/codes did you use for the weather section (bottom left) and events (bottom right-hand side?
I´m still building up my site?
One final question, as I am new and planning a city website too, any tips on monetization of such sites and (if you like only) how much you work on the site (time and people, money) and what is is the outcome results (traffic, money).
Keep the good work
Enjoy your weekend!
Thanks Emil and Chris! I installed the shim thing and increased php memory. I will be checking to see what happens the following days. Now visual composer should be left deactivated? is there a more permanent solution? becuse i may want to add new pages with vc….:(
Maybe I was not enough clear, I CAN’T activate this plugin then I can’t try to leave just Visual composer and SN Auto poster plugin active.
I also asked to the plugin support but they said that is not a plugin Issue but a WordPress issue, for this reason I asked your help because everything start by the theme upgrade.
Could you help me please?
