Hi
I am trying to create a custom block for Visual Composer for a custom product type. I am not sure how to add one. I would like to use the code of the old blocks and create a custom one.
Is there any way to do so?
Regards
I just installed the theme and all the plugins. It asks me to update VC but I can’t (read in another posts that it isn’t necessary). Now, the Visual Composer does not work for me.
I’ve used it before and I know there should be a button above ‘Add Media’ that you click but instead it’s opened below the text field and I can’t load templates or anything. A screenshot is here: http://i59.tinypic.com/2lwvfd4.png
How do I fix this or how do I use this?
I need the VC for a lot of stuff such as the homepage so I’m stuck now.
I’ve added a custom field for coauthors, followed their docs, and written some basic php. It’s working great 🙂 I’ve switched the functions in all my single templates and modules to use my coauthor display function instead of the default get_author function. I’ve tested it in every module and single template and it works.
But I’m having a hard time figuring out how to change the blocks used in the Visual Composer. I see td_block_1 through _9, td_block, td_block_layout, etc., but can’t seem to find where it actually looks up the posts.
Can you point me in the right direction??
Hi,
What version of Visual Composer are you using? I have checked your site and seems like you have some padding and also an box-sizing that prevents the big slider images from aligning like it should http://screencast.com/t/9qUlUqLVZi0C
You can use the custom css at the end in theme panel > custom css filed to fix this but it would be better if you figured out where this comes from and fix it from there otherwise you would encounter other issues.
My guess is that you are using a newer version of Visual Composer, if that’s so please revert back to the VC version that was provided with theme files, as we did not made any tests with the newer version of VC we can guarantee it will work.
.vc_col-sm-12 {
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
box-sizing: content-box;
}Thanks
today wp ask me to update WPBakery Visual Composer…
is not possible i try to download anda ask me user anda password.
Hi,
Like I said here we usually include the VC plugin at it’s latest version when we update the theme.
Unfortunately we hadn’t made any test with the VC latest version an we didn’t included it in the last update.
You can use this version of VC if you want and try to find a solution yourself or wait until the next update and we will test the plugin and fix this.
Sorry about this!
Thanks
I’ve got a strange issue with the visual composer plugin.
I’ve puchached the Newspaper 4 theme and received it together with WPBakery Visual Composer v4.2.3
The Big slider thats in Visual Composer works perfect with v4.2.3
After that, i purchased the latest version of WPBakery Visual Composer (v4.3.2). When i deactivate v4.2.3 and acivated v4.3.2 the big slider is messed up. The tree blocks that used to be on the right of the big block, are nog below it.
V4.2.3 – http://gyazo.com/2a245578565ab9710cff411f7a557126
v4.3.2 – http://gyazo.com/8e765bdb03cad867dfc78e5953522bbd
Thanks again!

You probably need to reinstall the plugin by uploading it via FTP from the themeforest “Newspaper” download, and replace the copy on the server; this is normal cause of that error from my own experience; meaning there is something missing or broken in the upload of the VC plugin folder.
Hello,
When i compose a new article and i click “publish” this error appears:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home//domains/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/core/class-vc-base.php on line 330
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/domains/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/core/class-vc-base.php:330) in /home/domains/domain.com/public_html/wp-admin/post.php on line 235

When i disable the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin, saving goes well. The problem is that i can’t use the Visual Composer options at that point.
Appriciate your time!

If you want to hard code the number of posts shown on a category page and not use the built in function of wordpress, you “might” be able to use visual composer for that but I’ve not done that, or you’d need to modify the category template and manually specify the loop (if you have no idea how to do that, you might need to hire a developer).
Obviously if you only want to show 10 items on the category pages, you would set that from the wordpresss > reading function you’ve already used. 20 is a common number to use, however, and works fine on most websites. Some people do less, some people do more. If your main audience is mobile, obviously 10 is a good number.
Since that function impacts the category pages, you’d then use the visual composer to layout your home page and not be impacted by the “10” settings.
In other words, easier to layout the home page with the theme features, than hack the template for the category pages.
Ok now, here’s the story:
I deleted my whole blog because still having issues. So I reinstalled everything new (had the demo running, now own build) I also thought, that Cloudflare would be the problem- but it isn’t (right now I don’t use CF)
Christopher Simmons helped me a lot- so I was able to solve a lot of things on my own.
But there are still some things I can’t handle on my own (seems like it) – and I’m on the edge of despair.
FYI my installed plugins:
tagbooster, W3 Total Cache, wpSeo, Code Embed, TinyMCE, Animated Gif Resize, Antispam Bee, Async JS and CSS, Broken Link Checker, Contact Form 7, EWW Image Optimizer, Jetpack, Query Strings Remover, WP DB-Manager, Google XML Sitemaps and the Visual Composer.
No matter what I do (installing Query Strings Remover or adding a code to the functions.php) I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE “REMOVE QUERY STRINGS”
I really need someone to help me fix this or show me how to! I’m so helplessly I could cry over this!
I would like to start with adding content, but this makes me really desperate
The claimed files are:
Remove query strings from static resources
C (70)
88%
Content High
What does this mean?
Resources with a “?” in the URL are not cached by some proxy caching servers. Remove the query string and encode the parameters into the URL for the following resources:http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/css/styles.css?ver=4.1
http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/external/bootstrap/td-bootstrap.css?ver=4.1
http://cherrykoks.de/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/style.css?ver=4.1
Next one is:
Specify a cache validator
A (90)
93%
Server High
What does this mean?
The following resources are missing a cache validator. Resources that do not specify a cache validator cannot be refreshed efficiently. Specify a Last-Modified or ETag header to enable cache validation for the following resources:http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
http://gtmetrix.com/reports/cherrykoks.de/4u0OTZRR
Note: I use as fonts: Georgia and Times New Roman over the whole blog! I was reading a lot of threads with tips as “Comment them out” “delete it” and this is also not working. When I try to comment out in functions.php I get a syntax error. And to delete: I don’t know which lines, because my functions.php looks a little bit different.
The font problem also appears in :
Add Expires headers
B (89)
25%
Server High
What does this mean?
There is 1 static component without a far-future expiration date.
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=PT+Sans:400,700,400italic|Ubuntu:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400|Oswald:400,700|Roboto+Condensed:400italic,700italic,400,700?ver=4.1
Page Speed Insights for example is complaining about the “above the fold” thing on mobile Devices and desktop, these are the same files- which GTMetrix claims with “remove query strings”
see here: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=cherrykoks.de&tab=mobile
Everything else is ok for me- but how can I solve the “few” problems.
I hope there’s an angel in this forum who can save me from getting nuts.
If someone of you needs any file information, let me know. I’m glad for any help with this!

Hi,
I have checked your site and noticed these javascript errors http://screencast.com/t/X0uHutiDCo0 on your homepage, you also have some on your post page http://screencast.com/t/MtPNDo11EU6u
These appear due to plugin conflicts and not because of the Visual Composer plugin.
Please make sure you disable all plugins except Visual Composer and see if this issue is still there, then activate then one by one to see which one it’s generating the conflict.
Thanks
Hello,
I would like to arrange the layout of the Homepage, so that it works the same way as Module 1 Category – Blog Style, as you can see in the demo.
What I am doing is trying to customize the Page associated as Homepage, but I don’t see which element to use on Visual Composer to make the post show as Blog.
What am I missing?
thank you
Hi,
I have checked your site and found this javascript error in the console http://screencast.com/t/U6PjaQPSk6Dl I believe this could be the cause of your issue and it might be due to a plugin conflict, please disable all plugins and activate them one by one and see which one is generating this issue.
Also noticed that you have set a negative margin on rows http://screencast.com/t/fnMntJXTC and these is coming from Visual Composer plugin so I’m thinking that you have set somehow the rows to be offset with 15px because when you set the rows to 0px of margin all comes back to normal.
Please check this also and let me know.
You can see yourself, just add this css in theme panel > custom css:
.wpb_row {
margin-left: 0px !important;
margin-right: 0px !important;
}Hope this helps!
Thanks
BTW for those who might have the same problem – found a work around which seems to work…
Instead of using ‘Single image’ use text block instead, and from the bar click on ‘add media’ This shows the captions and also makes modal work too.
Fingers crossed the next update to VC doesn’t stop this working
hi,
we cannot help you here because we are not the developers of the visual composer. we have purchase it and add it to the theme.
this question is best to ask on their forum: http://vc.wpbakery.com/blog/
Thanks for you message.

Hi,
When I insert an image into a post using the visual composer single image button the caption does not show below the image (This also applies to the image gallery caption). However the caption does show if I use the classic mode > add media. But trying to get the classic code to mesh with the visual composer code is a nightmare as they don’t recognise each other.
Any help on making the captions show up would be very appreciated, thanks!
If I purchase Visual Composer through Envato, thus generating a Visual Composer License Key for managing VC updates, will this cause a problem for my Newspaper theme down the road? Thanks!
hi, i don’ use visual editor (blocked from function.php).. can you give me all shortcodes for blocquotes? (normale, left, center, right)
thanks
Hi,
1. You can use the modal window for which image you want, just edit image and enable the modal feature.
You can follow this guides on hoe to use the modal window and the gallery: https://forum.tagdiv.com/display-image-using-modal-window/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-an-image-slide-gallery/
2. I have tested this and seems that live search should works fine using the themes last version, in your case this issue may appear due to a plugin conflict, try deactivating some plugins and see if this changes.
Please let me know.
3. These Visual Composer features where remove because they don’t work well all the time and haven’t been tested, if you want you can enable them form here: http://screencast.com/t/P1vbDoI4Ag
Hope this helps!
Thanks
hi,
we try to keep the SEO the same for all pages.
if you ask me I wold go with Visual Composer pages because it give you some flexibility when displaying your content, the downside of this is that you have to do the pages manually.
hope this help.
Thanks for you message.

TagDiv support: can you advise me here?
SEO wise: should I better use Visual Composer pages or WordPress generated index/categoru.php pages?
TagDiv Support,
Just to be clear, I don’t use the Visual Composer and don’t have custom pages!
So I would like to know how to set the offset for my Frontpage (index.php) and Category (?.php) pages. That’s it 🙂
Thanks
Hi Christopher,
I don’t use the Visual Composer or custom pages. Just plain and simple WordPress category.php pages and index.php.
Thanks for the link, will give it a try!
Don’t forget to enjoy the weekend 🙂
Andre
Offset is set in the visual composer for each module I believe.
You could also modify templates per the WordPress codex info, for the loop and use the offset function as found here:
