Hi,
I have checked your site on IE and I didn’t found that issues:
http://screencast.com/t/f9avL1RemM
http://screencast.com/t/SLq2Xjed
http://screencast.com/t/cJmNJndel
Please make sure you use last theme version(4.6.1) and if you are not, update the theme using this guide and the FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ Also update Visual Composer plugin from the /plugins folder that was provided together with the theme files when you’ve downloaded.
After that please deactivate all plugins, leave only Visual Composer active and try again. Also make sure you empty cache and purge files if you use any CDN host services.
Thanks!
Hi,
I checked your site and I found JavaScript errors in console: http://screencast.com/t/PJbZgOA0 which means that a plugin’s script is conflicting with theme’s js and causes this.
Please make sure that you use this right using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-newsmag/
and check this without any plugins active, empty all caches/purge files if you use CDN host services then check again (leave just the Visual Composer plugin active).
I have also tested this with last theme update(1.4) and found no issues with it: http://screencast.com/t/zsDoB2yfJD
Thanks!
Hi there,
I want to know is it possible to add the icons from visual composer and assign them to the menu. For example I want to have a computer icon representing my pc section on the menu. I don’t know if its possible or I have to use another plug in. Also I want to know how can I set margin for the Logo and menu so I can reposition them the way I want and also how can I move the advert from the header above the Big slider.
Hi,
it would be kind if you could fix this bug with a high priority as is really annoyoing:
If I install Newspaper and only install the MUST use Plugin (Visual Composer) but not the other suggetesd Plugins (like Jetpack, Contactform, socaial Counter tagdiv)… I will get on newly created Users (with custom Roles (=not having admin rights)) the following Admin Notice:
“Sorry, but you do not have the correct permissions to install the Contact form 7, Jetpack, Revolution slider and tagDiv social counter plugins. Contact the administrator of this site for help on getting the plugins installed.
Dismiss this notice.”
This is major Bug because of two things:
1.) These users do not habe any Install_Plugin Capabiities so will never be able to install a plugin! This does not make any sense at all, showing this message to a user, that only has subscriber rights/role etc…
2.) Secondly I have installed the must use plugins (but not the recommended plubings) and therefore all requirements are fulfilled. So this message should even for administrators not be printed, once the must use plugins (Visual Composer) is installed.
Code is in:
public function notices() {
global $current_screen;
// Remove nag on the install page.
if ( $this->is_tgmpa_page() ) {
return;
}
=>you should at least include a check if the user has the install_plugin capability!
=>I also reported some months ago a bug similar, wthere the Activation Messages is shown also to all users (this is a similar problem)…
thanks
Hi,
I checked your site and found that your theme is not updated. Please update the theme to the latest version(4.6.1) following this instructions: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/
After that disable all plugins(leave only Visual Composer active) and see if the issue persist.
This should solve the issue because you also have some errors in console: http://screencast.com/t/WtqnlxlbjT
If you still have issue with this please provide more details about the steps you have made to loads custom fonts.
Thanks!
Hey tagDiv!
Have I told you lately you folks are awesome? Well, you’re awesome. I’m saying it.
Anyway, I have a feature request and I am posting it here to see if other owners of Newsmag might also see the value in it.
While the customization options for category indexes are great, they’re also fairly limited.
Solution? Assigning a Page to a Category in the ‘Theme panel -> Categories’ panel so that when a user goes to http://www.website.com/category they are served a Visual Composer or other page instead of a category index template page.
Yes, I know, you can create custom category templates by creating category-slug.php files. But, if you want to edit them on a fairly regular basis, this isn’t a user friendly solution.
Whatcha think, folks?

I’ve had no issues with this on our site(s); and I thoroughly test our site on desktop (Mac/PC), iPad Air, and iPhone 6, with no issues with layout when “live” on the web, and no issues with preview.
The line first threw me when I saw it too, but I mostly work in text mode except when pasting in articles from couple of writers who work in MS Word and I have to paste into the visual editor. It’s actually kind of nice once I figured out what it was for, to have a better idea of how wide the “real” column is on the site while working in the editor.
I don’t recall seeing an explanation of that in the theme docs, but I might have missed that also.
UPSHOT: on one production site and one test site, it has not caused any issues whatsoever (links available if curious).
If you’re running WordPress 4.1, make sure you have Visual Composer 4.3.5 installed, and if not you will need to get the latest version of the theme via your themeforest account and update your site. WordPress 4.1 “broke” the visual editor, hence the theme update.
Some plugins conflict – so nothing for the TagDiv folk to “fix” on your end; try turning off all plugins except Visual Composer, then turn each one on until you find the “bad” plugin. You would then need to either not use that plugin, which might not have been updated to work with WP 4.1, or get a fix from that plugin developer.
The VC works perfectly on tens of thousands of websites, and so the “fix” is to determine which plugin is causing the problem 🙂
try disabling all your site plugins, except for Visual Composer.
If you are using a caching system, or you see a big [clear cache] button in your admin (as with GoDaddy), you need to clear that.
With only the theme active and Visual Composer active. Hit refresh [F5] on one of your post pages; the “view counter” should increment by 1 when you do so. Did that work?
If so, then turn on your other plugins one by one and re-test until you find the plugin which is breaking the theme.
Only you can do this, as you need to learn to manage your own website.
If you are using a caching system/plug-in you need to use an advanced setting in the theme to enable “ajax counter” capability; where the theme attempts to use javascript (JS) to increment the counter, since the caching would normally preclude or block that from working (e.g., the idea of caching is to serve up a page which does not change; so how can the counter change on the page if it’s cached and not actually being served as new page – logical, right?).
This is the best way to “debug” why your particular instance does not work.
Then post an update here with a sample page link to one of your posts, if you can’t get it working. 🙂
Hi,
I have also tested your site and found that the div container for related articles is added just no posts are loaded: http://screencast.com/t/wwbxWdYc
This means that after your posts go trough the query filers there aren’t any posts left to display and no post is loaded or the code is broken.
Either way I suggest you download and update your theme to the latest version which is 4.6.1 then check again. To update your theme please make sure that you make a backup of your current theme installation then use the FTP method from this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme/ and also update the VC plugin within the /plugins folder following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Please let me know if you still have this issue afterwards.
Thanks
Hi,
As Chris stated you need to update your VC plugin from the /plugins folder that was provided with the theme files and use this guide to install/update it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Please also note the following:
-
The theme includes a license for this plugin so you don’t have to buy it.
You don’t have to activate the plugin license, it’s already activated.
You can’t update the plugin directly from the it’s producer.
You don’t have to worry about the plugin update warnings.
We provide updates on a regular basis, after we test the plugin for theme compatibility we include it in the latest theme update, inside the ../plugins folder
Also please note that we will release an update with the new version of VC as soon as they will fix issues that apparently they have with the current version: http://screencast.com/t/MhULCZhfr
You can see their forum for more info: http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431/comments?page=332
Thanks
Hi,
@Teejoow Please let me know if you refer to theme’s activation or VC plugin activation provide more details about this. If you refer to theme’s activation key then you can use your purchase code for each project without receiving an error for the VC plugin though you need to update following this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ as we include the VC plugin within each theme update if there is an available update for it so you don’t need to buy it or you don’t need any license key: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-update-visual-composer-2/
Thanks
Hi,
I believe you refer to the Visual Composer issues which appears with older versions of VC when updating WordPress to 4.1
I have noticed while checking your site that you use the latest theme version (1.4) and the 4.3.4 version of VC which can cause this.
This issue appears because of the Visual Composer plugin when updating to WordPress 4.1. We have included the fixed version of the plugin(4.3.5) within the latest theme version so please make sure you update the Visual Composer plugin from the /plugins folder using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Please let me know how it goes!
Thanks
Hi,
I have checked your site and found some javascript errors in console: http://screencast.com/t/1lJFBw4JMnFy
I have also tested using the latest theme version(4.6.1) and haven’t found any issues with this.
Please make sure that you download the latest theme version and update your theme using this guide and the FTP method: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/ After you update the theme please try without any plugins active(leaving just the Visual Composer plugins active), then empty cache and also purge files if you use any CDN host services and check again.
Let me know if you still have issues with this.
Thanks!
You need to use the version of visual composer included with the theme.
Try using Chrome; since IE on Windows sucks with Ajax stuff. If using Mac, make sure Safari is updated to current version.
It does work; being used by tens of thousands of websites.
Try using with just Visual Composer running v 4.3.5 and WP 4.1, and no other plugins.
You can’t manually update the plugin; it’s a free “bundled” version, which is tested and contains compatible custom modules for the theme.
The version included with the theme is updated when major theme updates are released.
You cannot update the commercial paid version to work with the theme, as they may not have all the same functions and because the version included with theme is optimized for the theme.
Not rally a PITA as you have no need to update every dot revision of the plugin to add features not included with the theme or tested to even work properly.
Just because an update is available doesn’t mean you need to have it!
See the theme docs for more info
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Hope that helps !
Hi,
Try to disable all plugins, enable only Visual Composer and Speed Booster, see if the issue is still there. Also make sure you use the Speed Booster version that came with your current version of the theme.
ex . If you have the latest version of the theme (4.6.1) you should have Speed Booster version 3.1
Thank you, Emil G.
Have you installed and tested the plugin/extension for Visual Composer you want to use?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
I have checked your site and noticed this script errors in your console: http://screencast.com/t/EXCSTo9Z
I have also tested this using the latest theme version(4.6.1) and haven’t found any issues with this so please make sure that you also use the latest theme version then deactivate all plugins leaving just the Visual Composer plugins active, then empty cache and also purge files if you use any CDN host services and check again.
Thanks!
Hi,
I checked your site and I found JavaScript errors in console: http://screencast.com/t/IiZTbeKLpmc which means that a plugin’s script is conflicting with theme’s js and causes this.
Please make sure that your check this without any plugins active, empty all caches/purge files if you sue CDN host services then check again (leave just the Visual Composer plugin active).
I have also tested this with last theme update(1.4) and found no issues with it: http://screencast.com/t/zsDoB2yfJD
Please let me know if you still have issues with this.
Thanks!
Hi,
The Visual Composer plugin is included in the theme’s files within the /plugins folder so you don’t have to buy it, as instructed in the guide provided by Alin above: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ ..use the FTP method, deleted the plugin folder then upload the plugin from the /plugins folder that was provided along with the theme files which you’ve downloaded from themeforest. This was tested many times so you should not have any issues with it.
Regarding youtube playlist we suggest you disable all plugin empty cache/purge files (if you are using CDN host services) as I have found various js error in your browsers’s console which can cause this so I suspect that a plugin is conflicting with theme js: http://screencast.com/t/x9ksjStPR
Make sure you try all this and let me know if you still have issues afterwards.
Thanks
On my site here: http://vbjusa.wpengine.com/ scroll down the page under Business Spotlight there is the heading OPINION, which was renamed from Latest Articles. I’d like there not to be white space there. If I ad more items to the sidebar the white space increases. It is possible to disable the Latest Article? and just use the Visual Composer to layout the site?
Thanks,
Kris
Hi,
Please remove the VC plugin and use this guide to update it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/ ..and make sure you add it from the /plugins folder within the theme files that you’ve downloaded from themeforest.
Please let me know how this goes!
Thanks
