Hello yashdeepsahni,
Maybe your images are stuck in opacity 0. This usually happens on a js error caused by plugins or customization or other external optimization tools. Please disable all plugins except visual composer or TD Composer, clear cache and reset CDN files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functioning of the theme.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
I Just installed visual composer as a way to edit the posts because the tagdiv apparently only works on pages.
My issue, the visual composer elements do not work correctly (at least the “single Image” does not) and it does not seem to stay within its respected row/column.
Here’s a link to the post in question, hopefully it’s just a setting or something simple that I’m over looking.

Hi,
For such an old version you most likely used Visual composer. Please deactivate the tagDiv composer after you update, this will be activated automatically when the theme is updated or installed (since it’s introduction in 8.0).
When both are active there could be layout problems.
Also it is important to check the available resources in the system status panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Update by FTP, this is the most reliable method
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
If you have code in the theme panel, or you use a child theme, deactivate them because the code could be outdated. After the update do not make any modifications to the theme files. Clear caching, clear CDN if used, clear your browser cache as well.
You can use the manual activation if asked again

Hi,
We will reply as soon as possible, please check the support hours and also note that there was no support on Monday (banner shown at top of forum).
Also please do not reply in your own topic after the initial post if possible, unless absolutely necessary. This will only renew the topic and delay the response, we answer from oldest to newest which is fair.
1. The tagDiv composer is the main page builder now, but you can not install it if you use WPBakery page builder. If you decide to use it, all the pages have to be recreated with it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
2. The Twitter in the social counter had an issue, we provided an updated social counter plugin which should fix the Twitter count
– https://www.filedropper.com/showdownload.php/td-social-counter_1
3. There is infinite loading as block pagiantion
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Or for category pages, either in general or per/category
– https://www.screencast.com/t/7uXKzRXs3m
4. The mobile top grid will display featured posts
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-posts-2/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/
Then a latest articles section will be shown. The mobile theme does not provide many settings or customization, it is meant to be kept as simple as possible.
5. You can display a page in the footer if you wish. This will be displayed on desktop only, if you use the mobile theme plugin. The mobile theme will not display it. Note that the mobile theme is optional, you can simply not use it. Then the same content from desktop will be shown.
We try to implement at least basic SEO in the theme code, settings for SEO do not exist in the theme however. You can use our recommended plugin, Yoast SEO plugin

I use the Visual Composer tags not only in pages, i use it on Posts…
[vc_row][vc_column].......
Since the update i got an error on mobile devices: Wp Boost Error…..
i deaktivated the mobile theme plugin. Now it works.
But i am worried about the Mobile Theme plugin. Any solution for my error?

It is supposed to be different then a default WordPress theme. A premium theme contains different code and functionality than a default one.
You can use the other page builder provided in the package (WPBakery page builder), if you do now want to use the tagDiv composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/
Deactivating plugins would be the first set to take when there are problems. This way one can begin looking elsewhere for the problem, by eliminating plugins as the cause.
Something must have happened before the issue began, maybe a plugin has auto-updated. If there were no problems before, that could be a plausible thing to check.
Hi,
So there are problems writing in Visual mode after the WordPress and theme update. There were no similar user reports after updating. I also tested and there is no problem using the WordPress editor and also the sidebar section displays
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ygwKWTFDbeX
– https://www.screencast.com/t/mPJbq4OGFSJ8
Test without plugins, deactivate them all except theme plugins (update the theme plugins). If you made code modifications to WordPress or the theme files, or use a child theme, remove /deactivate them temporarily. If there is still a problem we could take a look. Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin access. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Thanks
I will try again to explain!
In WordPress 4.9.6 you CAN NOT write in visual mode only in html, I reiterate this step from the WordPress 4.9.6 update, to the WordPress version 4.9.5 by default it came in visual mode, in WordPress 4.9.6 it appears in html.
If you want you can give me an email and I will give you access to one of our websites one that we hardly use but that has the same problem, Thank you


Español
Intentare de nuevo explicarle!
En WordPress 4.9.6 NO SE PUEDE escribir en modo visual únicamente en html, le reitero esto paso desde la actualización WordPress 4.9.6, hasta la versión WordPress 4.9.5 por defecto venia en modo visual , en WordPress 4.9.6 aparece en html,
Si desea me puede dar un correo y le daré ingreso a uno de nuestros sitios web uno que casi no usamos pero que tiene el mismo problema,
Hi, the visual editor background on wordpress turns black suddenly.
1. Is it because of the wordpress update
2. Or is it because of us switching from Newsmag default theme to good voice?
3. Or any settings to change quickly?

Hello,
I have 2 copies of your theme for my two sites, and I am having the same issue for both of them.
In order to do the upgrade to the latest version, I have deleted the plugins and deleted the Newspaper theme, and uploaded the new versions that you have provided in the latest update. My homepage shows up as blank? I have flushed the cache and tried several times.
This is the website running on the previous version: http://www.luminousmom.com
Im wondering if this is a visual composer thing? Because I used visual composer when I first created these pages??
Hi,
If you use the WPBakery Page Builder provided with the theme, there is no need to register anything
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The block title text color and background color are not available in the WPBakery plugin. Only the tagDiv composer has these option. Our composer will be further integrated with the theme and it will receive more features over future updates.
Thanks
Hello tabesuki,
I have inspected your website and I have noticed that it could be a temporary problem with your opacity for the others images. Maybe your images are stuck in opacity 0. This usually happens on a js error caused by plugins or customization or other external optimization tools. Please disable all plugins except visual composer or TD Composer, clear cache and reset CDN files if you use it. Here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/A673riru you can see some errors in your console. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functioning of the theme.
We recommend using our TD COmposer because all of the major improvements in the future will be made on this plugin.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
Hello.
There is no such option in Yoast.
The page never used Visual Composer with TD Composer.
It used to be a normal page with html which is now removed.
Please advise.
Kind Regards
Hello leanjucas,
I have inspected your website and I saw that you are not using Featured images for those posts -> https://www.screencast.com/t/7DLFt1Xu and that’s why you do not bring any image on the block and also, I have noticed that it could be a temporary problem with your opacity for the others images. Maybe your images are stuck in opacity 0. This usually happens on a js error caused by plugins or customization or other external optimization tools. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset CDN files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files.

Hi,
So the problem is only when using the composer on the page that contains that button code. Then the problem is there. The composer may not react properly with some custom codes added in pages. There is a button element in the elements list if you want to use one
– https://www.screencast.com/t/yLKi9TJXh
The tagDiv composer was built with some similarities shortcode wise to Visual composer, to ensure a smoother transition for those who chose it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks
Then use method number 2 maybe, but take note that all the headers will automatically be styled like that if you use it. Unless maybe you can make the code more precise.
You could try and add the styles as boxes in the WordPress editor, there are some online guides you can follow
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-custom-styles-to-wordpress-visual-editor/
Or maybe try some plugins that can offer heading styles to choose from or maybe add your own.
I love how you have videos along with written words to explain the ‘newspaper’ theme. However, I find I need to pause the video, do the step, play the video, pause the video, do the step, ….
As with the written explains to accomplish a task, it’s great that you have written: 1. (step one written out), 2. (step two written out), …. however, not all you instructional pages have an image of the admin page where these functions are to be performed with an image of the corresponding number where this function is to be performed. Refer to this link: https://forum.tagdiv.com/mega-menu/
Whereas on this link, refer to secion ‘To create a new Main Menu:’, you have placed visual numbers on the page for the instructional steps written: https://forum.tagdiv.com/main-menu/
I hope you’ll add more screenshot and within the screenshot corresponding ‘visual numbers’ to easily identify the exact section where step 1, step 2, step 3, etc. is located.
1. If you don’t think you need to make any changes to the main theme core files, then you do not need a child theme. Here are the files that can be changed via a child theme https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/.
2. The custom CSS is saved in your database. So, you will not lose the custom changes on theme update. But to be safe, always backup your site before updating the theme.
3. The Custom CSS panel is the recommended way by the theme developers to add custom CSS. If you want to add the CSS to the main theme, you would have to make changes to the main style.css file by looking at the main instances where each code appears and make the changes there, but you would need to backup the file (and redeploy the changes with each new theme update) or the changes will be overwritten with each update. The custom CSS panel works for both the main theme and the child theme.
4. Again, see this tutorial on how to use the child theme https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/.
5. TD composer is a page builder specifically built and configured to be used with the Newspaper theme. It will continue to receive updates in future and the theme developers recommend it over visual composer. However, the visual composer will still continue to be bundled together with the theme. It is not recommended to use both page builders at the same time. So, it is your choice really on what you want to use between the two (I personally use td composer).
6. The tagDiv Multi-Purpose adds additional elements to the TD composer. It is more beneficial for building landing pages. Read more about it here https://tagdiv.com/newspaper-8-5-update-what-s-new/.
(FYI, I don’t work here).
The only thing I can tell is that i’m using Custom Html Element.
In the custom html element is code that i’ve copied in google chrome inspect (a button code)…..needed to do this bc i don’t see a way in getting button shortcode into wordpress dashboard…I need the shortcode so i can add a css class to a tag so i can use modal effect for a contact form..
when i went to wp side and saw the code (which i realize i can now grab the shortcode)…i see what looks like VC (visual composer?) text…i’m not using visual composer (not installed or activated).
also, within the code i see unintelligible letters that seems encrypted
WPBakery is formerly known as Visual composer, they changed the name of the plugin. But that is not important if you do not use it.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login access as well as FTP if possible. We will take a look. Include a link to this topic in the email.
Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict between 2 page builder. If you use visual composer, please disable the tagdiv composer and vice-versa. DO not use 2 page builders at the same time.
Also please update your version of the tagdiv composer if you use it by disabling and deleting the current one you use and installing the new version from the main 8.7.4 theme package.
Thank you!
Same error, but not using Visual Composer.

Hello,
I’m trying to use a blocks to display three columns of thumbnails. This is what I see when I edit the block (block 5) in Tagdiv Composer:
https://i.imgur.com/b5gHdwJ.jpg
For some reason, when I save and view the page, all the thumbnails/pages are listed in a single column, like so:
https://i.imgur.com/i8NUcuk.jpg
Please Note..
(1) The page is 1/4 + 3/4. The left sidebar was added in the row with visual composer
(2) This problem occurs no matter which block I try to use. Block 7 would also be good, but the same problem occurs (listed in single column).
(3) This is still a dev site. I can give a temp URL if you like but I don’t want to list it on the forum.
Thanks
Also one last thing. I do not use Visual Composer.
