Hi,
Unfortunately I can give you an exact answer on this as I haven’t tested this but you can try and get the gallery embed code and add it to you site in text editor area in your post editor or use the raw html element in visual composer and add it as a widget.
Hope this helps!
Thanks
Hi,
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an filter option so that you can filter posts by ID.
If you only want one post on a specific block you can do it by adding that one post into an new category then use the filter by category and chose that category which will display just that one post.
If you also need more posts like this on other block you can use the same category and also set the limit to 1 post and use offset to jump trough posts and display just the one you want into that block.
You can remove the related articles form panel and add using the do_shortcode() function a block customized with visual composer as you like.
Thanks
Hi,
First please make sure that this isn’t happening due to some other plugins you are using so make sure you disable all plugins laving just Visual Composer and Social Counter and also empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services and try again.
What theme version do you use as we have included the fixed version of the plugin into the latest theme update 4.6 so if you do not using it we suggest that you get the latest theme version from themeforest and you should find the fixed social counter plugin’s version within the theme’s files in the plugins folder.
Thanks
Hello, i disable the Visual Composer, and i am happy with the result, what i can lose if i disable this plugins, i don’t need the homepage design etc ! i am happy with the blog results! For the widget, i still have the Tagdiv blocks ! so whats the purpose of the VC other that create a homepage or some other pages ? Because the VC get my website Hell slow !
Hi,
You can use the do_shortcode() function and use the shortcodes generated by the Visual Composer plugin to customize the widgets/blocks you want to add into the template and then add it where you want it like this: http://screencast.com/t/xJbuxE9n
Hope this helps!

Hi,
You can find out more about the your browser’s console here: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console
I have also checked your site and seems that your have many errors in the console which can cause this: http://screencast.com/t/5zCFKOlud so please make sure that you disable all plugins leaving enabled just Visual Composer and that you use and also empty cache and purge files if you any CDN host services and after doing all this check again and enable the plugins one by one and check to see which one are causing the issues you have.
If you are not using the latest theme version which is 1.2 then I suggest also updating the theme as we have fixed lots on issue in this first theme update. Use this guide on hoe to update the theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-theme/
Hope this helps!

I have reinstalled the whole theme to the newest version, and reinstalled visual composer but I can still not make a post OR EDIT OLD POSTS. I can not place the cursor in the field. Nothing happens. I cannot write or input photo. As I said I have reinstalled visual composer and put in user name and API Key. The wpbaker license code I dont have.
It is urgent that I can update my site today or my visitors goes to another site 
Update
When I try to edit a post or make a new post I only get the text version in html with WHITE letters on the WHITE background in the editing frame 🙁

@lucian thanks for responding, can you please elaborate this process?
as far from your above point, i understood these things:
1. go to setting>visual composer> myshort codes ? is it how to generate short codes? but what should i add there to generate code there? i want to add content.ad widget php code.
2. then add <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[]’);?> to loop-single.php like this:
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_social_sharing_bottom();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_next_prev_posts();?>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[]’);?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author_box();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope_meta();?>
</footer>
as i want my widget to show up just below nest prev navigation?
is this the way you are saying?
if yes then please tell me how to generate short codes and how to use them in details, that would be really great help for those who are new to wordpress!
thank you!
Hi,
You can use the do_shortcode() function and use the shortcodes generated by the Visual Composer plugin to customize the widgets/blocks you want to add into the template and then add it where you want it like this: http://screencast.com/t/Y3TQLaFOx3lP
Hope this helps!

Hi,
Unfortunately we haven’t tested this plugin so I can’t give you an accurate answer about this or how you can fix it.
You could check though if the plugin is in conflict with theme files or with other plugins you use and to do so deactivate all your plugins and activate just Visual Composer and the “Letting Little Hippo” plugin, empty cache/purge files if you are using CDN and check again.
If it dose work start by enabling other plugins to see with which one is conflicting.
You could also go through plugin’s settings and check if it has some settings which might cause this, my advice is to search online for a solution and also address this issue to plugins authors on plugin’s support page and if “All in one SEO” or “WordPress SEO by Yoast” dose the job for this I suggest to use one of them.
Please also note that “WordPress SEO by Yoast” was tested and should work fine with the theme.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for understanding and for your message!
I know… the “video” threw me too ! 🙂
I think the docs do show how to create a layout with visual composer and there are some preset styles if you start with “blank” page when creating page (choose “blank” page on right side).
Easy to play with without public seeing anything, since you can set up a working home page then create new blank page, test new layouts by using preview until you get what you want, or at least part way.
Of course there are also various tutorials online for using visual composer since it’s used by hundreds of theme developers.
Hi,
Please disable all plugins leaving just the Visual Composer active then empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN services and check again. If this still isn’t working please check your console for errors and also make sure your theme settings are saved. If not you have to increase the max_input_vars = 1000; value inside the php.ini file to max_input_vars = 5000;.
If you don’t have access to the php.ini file please contact the host administrator and let him know about this issue.
You could also updated the theme if the settings aren’t saved as we have made some changes in the latest versions so this won’t be needed anymore.
Hope this helps! Please let me know!
Thanks
Hi,
1. You need to edit your homepage and set an sidebar using page builder and the widgetised sidebar element from Visual Composer, like this: http://screencast.com/t/itccvd4YTHk or you can set just the main content then use the page template settings to set an sidebar for the page like this: http://screencast.com/t/k1EWvWocDSB9
Please note that the sidebar set for the latest articles section is independent from the one you set for the page and content above so for the articles section you need to set and sidebar or remove it from here: http://screencast.com/t/FbXKlemE
2. Unfortunately that can’t be achieved as the theme doesn’t have an option like that. You could try to search and use a plugins for that.
3. You can edit the blocks used for each category from your homepage and customize them to use the latest articles from one specific category or more and just 6 posts so those block will always display the most recent 6 posts.
ex: http://screencast.com/t/dgAKYZZR6zEB
4. I’m afraid the theme doesn’t have an option for that either.
5. You can edit/remove/add categories from here: http://screencast.com/t/JNtZscxhiA
6. You can edit the page and change the template into one that doesn’t have the latest articles section: http://screencast.com/t/CJQeIAVeM

I use 4.6, but on theme panel I see Version: 4.5d.

You can build your own home page using the visual composer … see the docs on how you can create a “page” and then choose the “blocks” you want to use for your home page — such as by rows, and or columns, and you can choose blocks without images.
Hi,
It seems to be an css issue, maybe coming from a plugin, try to disable all plugins, clear the cache, enable only the Visual Composer plugin and see if the issue is still there. If you use any CDN purge all files, it may deliver older version for some of the files.
I’ve tried to look on your page but i get a redirect. Let me know how it goes.
For the pagespeed issues check this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
And the discussion here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/pagespeed/
Thank you, Emil G.
Hi,
Thanks Christopher!
@DigitalEmpathy Considering the fact that you have the twenty fourteen theme active here: http://screencast.com/t/QsEIz8nAr I believe you need to install and activate the theme from appearance > themes panel: http://screencast.com/t/ndflayPjPUSp so make sure you install the theme like this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/installation/ then activate it, install Visual Composer plugin and check again.
You can also find this info along with more useful informations in our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-documentation/
Please let me know if you still can’t manage to get this done.
Thanks
Hi,
I have checked your site and noticed that you have some js errors in your console: http://screencast.com/t/RBVxMDSj
Please make sure that you disable all plugins leaving active just Visual Composer and also empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services and try again.
Please let me know if you still have this type of issues after doing this as I have also tested this and found no issues with it.
Thanks
Hi,
@dexter Please make sure that you disable all plugins laving just Visual Composer and Social Counter and also empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services and try again.

Hi,
Unfortunately the page author box can’t be added via Visual Composer. You can use the Authors box element of Visual Composer but it not the same: http://screencast.com/t/lX0Miqw9
You could also customize the “Authors box” element and add modify it to show the authors bio as you like from here: http://screencast.com/t/99TrqJAp5
You can see how the author box was build here: http://screencast.com/t/6DqWdxNNgp
Unfortunately you will need custom work for this which we cannot offer at this time as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://studio.envato.com/ if you don’t know how to do it yourself.
Thanks
Hi,
Could please provide more details about the error you have as I have also tested this and tried to recreate it and haven’t found any issues with this.
Please let me know and also make sure that this isn’t happening due to some other plugins you are using so make sure you disable all plugins laving just Visual Composer active and also empty cache and/or purge files if you use any cache plugins or CDN host services and try again.

Hi,
1. I see you also managed to find and change the date format.
2. I’m not sure I understand, you refer to this counters: http://screencast.com/t/MbC1s0ryuym
Please let me know and also provide a link to a post that has comments as I haven’t managed to find one.
3. You can change the template like showed below and move the latest articles to the beginning of the page and the page builder below the articles.
Edit the page-pagebuilder-latest.php file and move this part: http://screencast.com/t/44ijcHGT to the bottom of the file like this: http://screencast.com/t/Iqj80diz2H
After this use the “Pagebuilder + latest articles + pagination” template and add widgets using Visual Composer.
