Thanks Chris for the quick reply.
I have missed to use the Visual Composer, I thought that style import option will be sufficient to be bring grid and all the other tunings.

Thanks again

You can activate the “style” from the theme styles, but you still need to setup your home page however you want it to look and choose your content/categories to feature — no way for theme to know what categories you might have created.

Don’t use the “demo content” unless you’re just demo’ing for client; all that junk doesn’t help you with your own site content — just makes a mess of it.

Take a look at theme docs (link right side of page).

Normal practice would be:
1) install theme
2) use default style, or use the style import option
3) create blank page
4) build your page layout using Visual Composer; possibly create custom sidebar to use widgets on front page.
5) set your page as the static front page from WP settings
6) adjust page to tweak and fine tune

Fun to experiment. You can always do a working page, make that live. Then start new blank page and tweak that, then switch to that new version once completed the way you want it.

Not that difficult, but you do need to setup your own front page, obviously.

Hope that helped 🙂

Hi,


@bcnjmlopez
We also use the full version of Visual Composer(unmodified) but some elements of Visual Composer don’t work fine with Newspaper for the moment. They are hidden from functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/bGrOfosrdT All these elements will be available in version 5 of the theme.
Also please note that the theme was not tested with Visual Composer 4.5.2, the latest version of the plugin included in the theme files is 4.4.4. We provide updates on a regular basis, after we test the plugin for theme compatibility the plugin is included in the latest theme update, inside the /plugins folder.

Thanks!

Hello
I bought in ThemeForest the paid version of Visual Composer 4.5.2.
But some functions do not work properly and have consulted wpbakery, and I answer the following:

“The issue is Because there is an inbuilt version of Visual Composer (or the related code) present in your theme Which is overriding the plugin standalone version and Hence it Causing the issue. You will Have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, loose You Might Otherwise the additional elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. Kindly check. ”

Can you help?

Thank you very much,
José María López

Hi,

Please clear your cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Also you can check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks!

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
Please let us know and also provide your site’s url.

Recently we had various reports about the VC plugin which uses lots or resources and causing issues when using the latest version of the plugin and on site’s with a large amount of content and on some servers.

You can switch to an older version of the VC plugin, it should solve this until we have a reliable solution available as we’re currently testing a solution for this which will allow you not to use the VC all the time just when you built your pages then use this Shim plugin which will render theme’s elements shortcodes.
You can find more detailed info in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/whats-going-to-newsmag-newsmag-is-really-bad-for-sites-with-high-traffic/

Thanks

Hi,

Please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again if it works. If you don’t have this issue anymore activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused the issue.
Also provide your site url so we can check this as I also checked this and it works fine with the latest theme version.

Thanks!

Hi,


@thebestmh
We use latest theme version to help our customers and the theme was updated many times (to repair some issue added more features, update Visual Composer plugin) from the version that you use. I understand that you need that layout, but you have also updated Visual Composer plugin that was not tested with that version of the theme and also other plugins that you may need are constant updated so it is normal to appear issues. If you want to use that version you will need to customize the theme(or hire a professional) for your needs to work with the new plugins versions.

You can try this custom css and see if it works – http://screencast.com/t/mXWLMQvam

@media (min-width: 1018px){
.td_980_resp .td-slide-item-sec {
width: 263px !important;
}
}
@media (max-width: 1018px) and (min-width: 768px){
.td-slide-item-sec {
width: 200px !important;
}
}

Thanks!

Hi,

Some of Visual Composer elements don’t work properly with theme are they are hidden from functions. If you want to use one of those elements please comment or remove that code – http://screencast.com/t/A1iGhxoJjq

For about a week now I’ve received a series of fatal error messages lately, maybe one in three times I visit the website. One by one I’ve shut down plugins like WP Total Cache, WordPress SEO etc and Godaddy suggested replacing core files if the problems persist.

Any idea why I keep getting these messages?

Last week there were these messages:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 19456 bytes) in /home/content/67/11400967/html/throughcracks/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-seo/frontend/class-opengraph.php on line 521

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 97169 bytes) in /home/content/67/11400967/html/throughcracks/wp-includes/class-wp-embed.phpon line 315

Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

Then it went away for a few days.

Now I’m getting these.

The last two look like they may be associated with WPBakery Visual Composer?

Fatal error: Unknown: Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 77824 bytes) in /home/content/67/11400967/html/throughcracks/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/settings/class-vc-settings.php on line 1087

So far it seems like it has been primarily limited to the front page I believe. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

What theme version do you use? As I have checked this with your logo and did not found any issues – http://screencast.com/t/6ZeFHKl3Fa
The latest theme is 4.6.3 and the latest version of Visual Composer tested with the theme. Please use this guide if you need to update (FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and update also the theme’s plugins that come with the theme’s files from /plugins folder.
You can try this custom css if you don’t want to update the theme – http://screencast.com/t/TFLiNWd0

@media (max-width: 767px){
.mobile-logo-wrap img {
width: 150px !important;
top: 0 !important;
}
}

Thanks!

Hi,

Try this code in your header style file – http://pastebin.com/cAx8Bmf0
And use only this custom css to add background as the logo and the ad are already positioned: http://screencast.com/t/cWnFn9gdYt

.full-bg {
background-color: red;
}

Unfortunately Ultimate Addons for Visual Composer is not tested with the theme, so I can only recommend you to check this also without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer and Ultimate Addons active, clear cache and see if you still have this issue. Also if you still have issues with it please try with a default theme and see how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi – Trying to figure out if there is any configuration where we can use the Big Slide across 2/3 of a 3 column layout? We’ve tried just about everything, various mixes of template settings, page attributes and Visual Composer elements. Screen capture of builder area here. Simply looking for Big Slide at top, 2 columns of content under and sidebar along the right column. Tried both actual sidebar layout and full layout with “Widgetized” Sidebar content element. Right now, area just remains blank and pushes any other content down. If we add a background color to the content block, the color shows, but no Big Slide.

Thanks so much for your time, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

Newsticker block is included only in Newsmag theme, but we’re also working on a major update for Newspaper (v5.0) which will include most of the features from Newsmag like smart sidebar feature,smart lists or some of the post templates. You can take a look on our demo to make an idea about blocks that are included(and how they look on columns), post samples… – http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/ and also our documentation may help – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-documentation/
Also the latest theme version is 4.6.3 which includes Visual Composer plugin(4.4.4) in /plugins folder. If you want to update please follow this guide and use FTP method – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
If you cannot see all blocks available to be added using Visual Composer please make sure that all of them are selected from settings and save – http://screencast.com/t/9TCvIFaa

Thanks!

Hello!

We’ve purchased Newspaper 4 theme, but there is a small hiccup. After a year of operation site has become unbearably slow on relatively powerful hardware and with relatively modest load (70 concurrent users).

We have accumulated about 5 thousand articles most of which are in a single category, though we are using tags (which causes another funny side effect – thousands of cache update operations through terms_cache almost on each request).

Nevertheless, I have to give you a baseline. We’ve changed hardware over time in search of performance, so to be totally syre, we set up an empty virtual box (4GB TAM, 2 core CPU, 60GB SSD on DigitalOcean), simple LAMP server, a copy of our site and even then we were unable to get pageloads under a second (though all other plugins were enabled).

Next move was obvious and as follows (ensuring nothing beyond content, Newspaper theme and Visual Composer is present within installation):

a) Set up a new WordPress instance.
b) Populate content from production site (use wp-cli to update all links).
c) Add default Newspaper 4 theme and its default child theme, select latter as site theme.
d) Install visual composer (as recommended by theme).
d) Enable everything and set a few things up, so menus and category pages are as in production.

As a result all pages are being generated in approx. 1 second (1.09±0.13s; out of 100 measurements; page generation time), which is obviously not good enough, since under even moderate load and because of other plugins which are essential to site this time tends to grow.

What are your recommendations to gain significant performance improvements? Of course, enabling w3 total cache solves this problem for unauthenticated users, but we heavily rely on authenticated ones, so an advice would help.

Hi,

I tried this:

– deactivating all plugins without Visual Composer – no results
– cleared the cache, even minification – no results

Maybe the problem can be caused by not being able to update the visual composer. I still have version 4.4.4. Always I deactivate, delete and reinstall as said in documentation the upload stops at a specific point and not ends. After a while I get information to update again. It’s weird.

I am newbie. So it confuses me.

Hi,

What theme version do you use? Please make sure that you use the latest version 4.6.3.
Also I have checked your site and not only mobile menu doesn’t work, also ajax pagination. I found these errors in the console – http://screencast.com/t/XImhK1sVFL so please make sure that you deactivate all plugins leave only Visual Composer active, also clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN and see if you still have this issue. Also please remove any js/css minification. Let me know!

Thanks!

Hi,

You can do this by editing your post’s template files and use the do_shortcode function to place there, after the posts content any widgets you build using visual composer’s page builder. You can find more details on how to do this in this tread: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/implement-infinite-scroll-on-single-posts/#post-43481

Hi,


@Sparton05

1. You can try this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/jR1sfFPZpJ

.page .td-grid-wrap {
padding: 20px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Please provide your site url and also more details about this gap if this is not what you mean.

2. Try this custom css for slider z-index:

.rev_slider_wrapper {
z-index: 0 !important;
}

If this doesn’t work please provide your site url.

3. Please make sure that you create a megamenu properly – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-the-megamenu/
When you set a category megamenu you don’t have to add submenu items. For parent category(with subcategories) set as megamenu all subcategories will appear automatically.
If you still have issues with it please provide a link so we can take a look.


@matthieuroubaix

Please check this without any plugins active, leave only Visual Composer active and also clear cache and purge your files if you use CDN. Also please make sure that you use the latest theme update (1.7.1 – you use Newsmag theme) and also update the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. Use thsi guide if you need to update – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ Let me know how it goes.
Also please post your issues in newsmag section – https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newsmag/

Thanks!

@davidewebcenter

and again — this issue only impacts *some* websites. Tens of thousands of websites are running themes using the Visual Composer framework. A small percentage have CPU overload issues, as we did.

If your server setup doesn’t have this issue – it’s a non-issue for you. If your server has this issue it will happen with *any* WordPress theme running Visual Composer and you’ll know right away, not months later.

The “shim” plugin provides “some” of the main elements commonly used for homepage for modules; it does not provide for ALL the VC hooks/blocks/elements. So, it’s basically a solution for those few having the CPU issue — it’s not intended to replace Visual Composer.

If you’re running VC now and not getting warnings from your web host already, then you will likely not have to even deal with this issue at all.

Hello,

I’d like to make a category page look like this page:

http://take.ms/zhqA0

Basically, I want to add some text description under the category name. So I think I need to use Visual Composer. Can I use pages created with it as category pages?

Is not, please give me some hints on how to accomplish what I want.

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have any css customization?
If you use latest version of the theme(4.6.3) did you update from an older version? Di you used patch or a fresh install?
I can provide you css to fix this, but may cause cause another issues if you have custom css or did not updated properly. Also please first check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check if you still have these issues.

If you want you can use this custom css in Theme Panel > Custom Css after you check what I asked above and without plugins: http://screencast.com/t/PzhbPITU7

.td-g-rec-id-header .adsbygoogle {
position: relative;
top: 0;
right: 0;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.top-header-menu li a:before {
top: -2px;
}

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately Portuguese of Brazil is not available in Theme Panel, but you ca translate manually words from Translation – http://screencast.com/t/ccBL2y8ZC4
If you want to use the patch to update please make sure that you have 1.7 version and update to 1.7.1. You have to upload patch files via FTP.
If you want to make a full update please use this guide(we recommend FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also update the plugins that come with the theme file from /plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

Hi,

I have checked your site and found these errors in console – http://screencast.com/t/GVPln4ZRT
Please deactivate all plugins, leave just Visual Composer active, clear cache and check again if you still have this issue with megamenu. If your issue is solved please activate your plugins one by one and see which one caused this issue.

Thanks!
