Hey Chris,
I tried deleting via FTP, and still just brings me to blank pages (it doesn’t time out, even after clicking delete, the first couple seconds of me going to my website, its just all blank pages, won’t load).
Not sure what to do, as I need to modify the home page, and I am not able to because visual composer doesn’t work… :\
Hi,
It’s happening again. I put an adsense ad in the top right sidebar widget and now there’s an awkward ad between the Main Preview area and ‘Latest Articles’
I did as you suggested and disabled all the plugins other than Visual Composer and the problem remained, even after I cleared my cache.
I took the ad that caused the problem out, but the issue remained.
So the problem is any time I put a new widget in the top right sidebar, it puts a related widget in that space.
Thoughts? I really need to fix this problem.
Thanks
Steve
Hello,
We are getting a lot of fatal errors and white screens (which require a reload or 2 before website displays.
We have a dedicated server with the following guts:

We also have 128MB allocated in the php.ini
We tried deactivating ALL plugins except visual composer.. This did NOT stop errors.
We tried deactivating all except those included from tagDiv.. This also did NOT fix it.
The website in question is: http://diaryofahollywoodstreetking.com
Any assistance fixing these errors and the huge use of server resources would be most appreciated !!
The errors seem to be caused from a broad mix of things. Here is a sample of errors here:

Hi,
1. I have also tested this and did not found any issues with block 7 pagination when background is set – http://screencast.com/t/vv9FR4Px6
I have checked this with latest version of the theme(1.7.1) so please update your theme(question 2 – seems that you use 1.7 version) and also update the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder. Use this guide to update your theme (FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
Also disable all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active, clear cache and check if you still have this issue with block’s pagination.
2. It was an issue with custom ads in version 1.7 of the theme, but it was fixed in last update.
Thanks!
Hi,
What error do you get in facebook debug tool?
Please check og: data in your page source. Also we recommend to use this plugin WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin because is the best for SEO as the theme doesn’t output automatic the og: meta data information.
You can also check this without any plugins, leave just Visual Composer and Seo by Yoast active, clear cache and then check if you still have this issue.
Thanks!
That is part of WordPress core you’re using and not part of the theme; used to pull RSS feeds from other sources. You should deactivate your plugins other than Visual Composer to track down the “bad” plugin and/or remove any “RSS” widgets from your layout temporarily.
Hi,
The theme uses wordpress default comments system and the code used to display the comments number uses a default wordpress function – http://screencast.com/t/FPmiNK93jxrn
Unfortunately we didn’t do any tests with Discourse so i cannot say what may cause this, but you could check for errors in the browser console and/or disable all plugins except for Discourse and Visual Composer and see if the issue is still there.
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
That code appear when you disable Visual Composer plugin because you used Visual Composer to add Big Grid on your homepage.
If you want to disable Visual Composer plugin please follow this topic and try to create something similar – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/category-top-posts-style-in-main-blog-index/
Thanks!
I have a very simple homepage where I use the visual composer. I have to use version 4.3.5, because every higher version will use to much memory (+100 mb) and slow down the site.
Is it possible to use another page builder with less functions or anything else?
I just need such a design:
slider -> ad -> posts -> load more button
and a sidebar
Hi,
I have checked your site, I did refresh the page and you are right facebook comments doesn’t appear all the time. It seems that the plugin is not loaded(doesn’t return anything) – http://screencast.com/t/wEV0kWTk – http://screencast.com/t/FZqyVUmBK5j
Please check if you have this issue also if you disable all plugins, leave just Visual Composer and Facebook plugins active, also clear cache. Maybe there is a conflict with another plugin(s).
Also which facebook comments plugin do you use?
Thanks!
Hi,
@aleister – It’s not enough, the theme also comes with a function inside function.php which adds an offset for the categories on which the BigGrid is set – http://screencast.com/t/LGBxhzqx
You have to add a similar function which sets an offset for blog page, ex. – http://pastebin.com/zmBfyXAb
We may release a light modified version of Visual Composer in the future, but it may take some time and i cannot promise anything yet because we’re still in the testing and looking for solutions phase and i’m not sure if it will work.
Did you tried with older/newer versions of VC? (sorry if i don’t remember, we have a lot of clients and it’s hard to remember particular cases).
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
We recommend to update the theme via FTP(please make a backup of your current theme instalation) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
Also if you are using previous version(4.6.2) you can use the patch and copy only files that were updated and then update the plugins that come with the theme’s files(visual composer,social counter…) from /plugins folder .
Regarding the plugins and theme customization – the styling options you’ve set in the WordPress Theme Customize or options from Theme Panel – those options should not be affected by updating your theme, only if you have custom modification to the theme’s files you will need to re-add them as when you update the theme these files will be overwritten.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please try to disable all plugins(especially related posts plugin if you have ), leave just Visual Composer active, also clear cache and check if you still have this issue. If you don’t have this issue anymore please activate your plugins one by one and see which one cause this.
Thanks!
Hi,
I believed that you can use all elements using pagebuilder, not only elements of Visual Composer plugin.
I cannot tell you an exact date for Newspaper 5, but we intend to release it at the end of May.
Thanks!
Hello,
I’m trying to replicate category style top posts grid in main blog page. I have found that this piece of code is responsible. So I copied it inside the container to index page and it shows perfectly.
Except for one feature, it duplicates posts in the blog page. I wonder if anyone know how can I manually disable duplicate posts in index.php in addition to this code.
<?php td_api_category_template::_helper_show_category_template() ?>
<?php td_api_category_top_posts_style::_helper_show_category_top_posts_style() ?>Extra information:
Wordpress 4.21
Newsmag 1.7.1 (Thank you for the update)
We don’t use Visual Composer, tagdiv speed booster or any other plugin bundled with theme.
Why? Because I have tried every version but our CPU use still goes crazy and site is non responsive with these plugins enabled. I have waited for a month for updates, got them, nothing changed. I tried nearly every plugin combination, including disabling every other plugin and only enabling these plugins. It’s impossible, page load time goes to 45 seconds to no response. In my previous post I explained that this happens with hundreds of concurrent online users, so normal blogs need not be alarmed. Also it just doesn’t load normally in page edit screen (Checked for that option it’s correctly set) it gets loaded then dissapears out of page. Tried with different browsers too. But solving is not important anymore with high admin ajax use on server it’s done for me.
I like the themes quality coding, speed, style and options. But with in this situation I have to make this simple change because I can’t use VC for this. I would very much love to see some more styling options included for blog and posts section of theme options, instead of relying on VC.
So if you can point me in right direction I want to make this change works.
Best Regards,
Hi,
I’ve checked it on my side and it works fine, please provide the links used by so i can test them on my side.
Also try to disable all plugins, enable only Visual Composer, save the post again and see if the thumb is there.
Thank you, Emil G.
I am also with this problem. I have more options to include the Grid Elements modules. I opened a call with the author of the plugin and he wrote:
The issue is because there is an inbuilt version of Visual Composer (or the related code) present in your theme which is overriding the standalone plugin version and hence causing the issue. You will have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, otherwise you might loose the extra elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. Kindly check.
Thank you,
Hi,
I have checked your site and the images are loading also on mobile devices. If you want to disable lazy load feature there is an option in Theme Panel > Template Settings: http://screencast.com/t/4UcPOSoS46
If this is not what you mean please provide more details (which mobile device did you use), also you can check this without any plugins active, leave just Visual Composer active and clear cache. Disable also js/css minification.
Thanks!
Hi,
@debarup Unfortunately we cannot update the theme for you but you can use this guide for update(FTP method) – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ and also update the plugins that come with the theme’s files from the /plugins folder – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Thanks!
I am in danger of having a web site turned off by my hosting company (Inmotion hosting) for excessive resource usage caused by constant hits to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php . We have also entered code into the https file to restrict use of the Admin page page to only our IP address as follows:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)?wp-admin.*$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^99\.232\.52\.92$

The site at http://www.breedingnews.com is the only site of several WordPress sites that we own which is suffering from this, and is the only one using the Newsmagtheme. I have already installed the Heartbeat control plugin but this is having little if any effect.
We have the following plugins running:
Adrotate
Envato WordPress Toolkit
Gravity Forms
Gravity Forms PGP encryption
Heartbeat Control
s2Member Framework
tagDiv Social counter
W3 Total cache
Wordpress HTTPS
WP Bakery Visual composer
Any help or ideas really appreciated
Main differences (my impressions on this topic only, not ‘official’ in any way)
Newspaper — wider layout for those doing things like 3 column newspaper pages, or where a wider post area needed to do 2 columns of text with photo wraps, for presentation “like a newspaper,” or for those who want a larger playing field. Support for wider ad units in post area.
NewsMag — more compact layout with keylines, like a magazine or older TIME magazine print layout where everything is boxed. NO “wide screen” layout (fixed more narrow grid).
“Bells and whistles” may end up being same between the two at some point, both may lose any R-T-L support, both may support the new TagDiv “API” to hook in extra functions and features.
Main difference is the “width/layout” area and hence slightly different layouts and modules with visual composer, and slightly different default and custom layouts on “category/archive” pages.
In our case, we chose to go with Newsmag as it was more what we wanted when Newspaper was first launched and did have a narrow layout. We wanted to migrate from our in-house responsive (grid 960 custom layout, pre bootstrap) theme, and/or Woo Canvas to seomthing more “shiny and cool” … with “some sense of pagespeed optimization” which most foundries were clueless about in Fall of 2013, but Tagdiv was trumpeting (as we had been doing so here).
I think some folks might end up buying both and trying them out with your specific content and images then choosing the right one for your needs, knowing you’ll have similar workflow, plugins, and “bells and whistles.”
My two cents anyway 🙂
Tks Alin,
About the ads management:
2. There’s a problem with your ads manager, for the ads in articles, you can access this url:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/tecnologo-pode-prestar-concurso/
I used the “article top ad” with a 336x280px ads, and is appearing a horizontal ads. And in “article bottom ads” I used a responsive ads.
In the homepage I used:
– a 728x90px in custom_ad_1 after the header block named “em destaque” and a responsive ads in custom_ad_2 after the block named “preparacao”.
As you can see doesnt matter the size of the ads blocks, your theme have own sizes in specific locations. I dont know why this is happening, I tried to desactive all plugins (except visual composer) I verified another site with the same theme, and it is working fine (like hxxp://sensacionalista.com.br).
9. How can I create “sliding sidebar blocks” like in the demo of newsmag? Note that I want to use this functionality with the sidebar blocks created in visual composer, not with the widgets.
10. About the size of the cover images for the articles. I tried to use the plugin Regenerate Thumbnails, but without sucess with your theme.
What I can do to adjust a better view to the images in each type of visualization that you theme offer? For example, for the same posts your theme use diferent sizes for the homepage and for the page of the categories.
As you can see the same post “O Que Faz um Analista Tributário da Receita Federal?” with the cropped image in the page of category:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/carreiras/
But not cropped in the:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/
Hi,
Please make sure that this also happens when using just the theme’s Visual Composer plugin as this could be case by a plugin. If noting changes please also provide your site’s url so we can have a look at this and inspect it.
If you don’t want to paste it here you can use our email address: contact@tagdiv.com and also provide a link to this tread or provide your issue’s details.
Thanks
Hi,
1. Category page cannot be build via Visual Composer like your homepage. Theme doesn’t have option for this and you will need custom modification, unfortunately we cannot provide any custom work for the moment, sorry.
There is an option in Theme Panel > Categories to disable Big Grid on category page(if you want this): http://screencast.com/t/P1eBsD1V
2. I have checked your site and did not found any ads on your homepage, please follow this guide for ads – https://forum.tagdiv.com/ads-system-full-guide/
The theme width is smaller than Newspaper (1021px) so if you want to use a fixed width ad at 728px here – http://screencast.com/t/BKCRNSbwCw I’m afraid that the width of 2 columns is smaller than 728px – http://screencast.com/t/bayX7e3IfKCZ
So you will have to use the full width row for this – http://screencast.com/t/oqoiLvJdj – http://screencast.com/t/40olCBoCEa7
6. If you don’t want Latest articles please change your page template and use a template without articles: http://screencast.com/t/y3UMlJYeTa – https://forum.tagdiv.com/page-templates-newsmag/
Just add Social Counter block to your sidebar: http://screencast.com/t/ttsepM5t6Oi – http://screencast.com/t/nkAOfsiu78
7. Go to the block settings and set pagination for it: http://screencast.com/t/QePc4h3l47
8. You can set this like you do that for blocks: http://screencast.com/t/1A7yPgMoiGy7
Block settings: https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-overview/
Please follow our documentation – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-documentation/
Thanks!
Tks Alin, some comments:
1. I dont know if is I or you that didnt understand, I want the show 3 figures in the header (just occurs to my homepage) when I click in a specific category, for example to:
hxxp://concursospublicos.ninja/preparacao/
You can see that my categories have 5 images in the header (like in the default version, not the tech version).
2. Solved.
3. Solved.
4. I´m facing problems with the adsense implementation in the middle of homepage.
I did many tests, I created 728×90 ads block and a responsive block, the 728×90 I put in the custom_ads1, after the posts of the category “notĂcias” as you can see in my homepage, and after the category “preparação” (above the latest articles) I put a responsive ads.
For both, the size appears responsive. And by this way I can conclude that isn’t a problem with the adsense code. So why it appeared responsive? I want to use 728×90 ads like appears in the newspaper theme.
5. Solved.
Anothers questions.
6. How can I remove the “latest articles” from homepage and bring the widget “stay connected” to the top of the sidebar? I don’t know how to decrease the distance between the sidebar blocks of the visual composer and the blocks created in the widget section.
7. In the visual composer blocks, like I did to the category “notices” (notĂcias) in the top of my site, how can I put buttons to show next and previous notices? Like in this site hxxp://sensacionalista.com.br
