Is it possible to use tagdiv and visual composer at the same time? I tried to make a page with tagdiv but when I put something in the visual composer, the tag is unconfigured
Hello jessejin,
It could be a temporary problem with your opacity. 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. 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!

Hi,
If you use Visual Composer on your site, please deactivate tagdiv composer plugin.
Please edit your td_block_text_with_title.php file and replace all the content with – https://pastebin.com/GyidRDHY It will remove the default text from frontent.
This fix was implemented also into the latest theme version 8.7.4 (released today).
Thanks!
Hi,
The newsletter plugin once activated will add a new element in the tagDiv composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/jNLbzruJOiz
That is the only place it will appear, at the moment.
1. If you created page with WPBakery page builder (former Visual composer), these have to be recreated with the tagDiv composer if you want to use it. Do not edit pages built with one page builder with the other, this will cause problems.
The tagDiv composer will have more options in future theme updates and it will be integrated further with the theme. There will be options added for it that will not be available for the WPBakery page builder.
2. When active the WPBakery page builder will appear in these locations
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XlsVEH6IMHBU
If it does not for you, try removing it and install it again. Also as a general note, the theme system status should be set according to this guide for a better functionality

Hello
In my theme panel I saw there is a plugin activated name is tagdiv Newsletter but I could’nt use. There is no Newsletter button anywhere.
Also I did deactivate tag div Comperessor because of i’m using Bakery Page Builder.
1- I’m using bakery page builder but there is no any theme panel like VisualCompessor. When I clik there is warning for update.But I only can use when I create a new page and there is a button for customize with Baker Page Puilder.
Should I change Bakery Builder to tagdiv Comperssor? and Will I lost anything which i did on my web site
2- Do you think my Bakery Page Builder is broken? Because there is no vc theme panel
3-How can I use newsletter. It’s been already activated but I couldn’t see any button for put on my pages.
Thank you.
Hello,
1. I’m using https://wordpress.org/plugins/unite-gallery-lite/ plugin to build image gallery. It provides shortcode [unitegallery fotogallery] to use. When I edit my homepage in text mode and place shortcode, it appears fine but using my TD visual composer, I’m unable to use this shortcode. Problem of using shortcode in text mode is, whenever I update any elements using TD composer, the change made using shortcode disappears immediately 🙁 Whats the solution?
Please check block above footer https://somvabona.news/ in this link. Shortcode appears as it is: [unitegallery fotogallery]
2. Or, Is there any way I can show image gallery in my homepage?
Salut,
De obicei problemele cu salvarea paginilor/setari in theme panel sunt cauzate de resurse insuficiente. Acestea ar fi cerintele temei in materie de server
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
Se poate sa fie si alte cauze. Eventuale erori vor fi vizibile in consola inspectorului, in timp ce se incearca update pe pagina (daca atunci apare problema)
– https://www.screencast.com/t/0mtAHzfLddM
Daca este folosit WPBakery, este recomandat ca tagDiv composer sa fie dezactivat. Se poate sa fie probleme de layout cand ambele sunt active. WPBakery nu este recomandat de noi pentru posturi
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Versiunea din pachetul temei vine cu optiunea pentru posturi dezactivata.
Noi recomandam folosirea tagDiv composer totusi. Acest front-end page builder va fi in continuare integrat cu tema. Anumite optiuni ce vor fi introduse in viitor vor putea fi folosite doar cu el. Sunt multe planuri in aceasta privinta in urmatoarele update-uri.
In mare, daca WPBakery va fi folosit pe posturi sunt sanse ca acestea sa nu fie afisate bine cand tagDiv composer este activ. Dezactivarea acestuia din urma ar trebui sa rezolve problema. De asemenea noi recomandam folosirea tagDiv composer pentru a putea beneficia de viitoare optiuni, ce nu vor fi disponible in WPBakery.
Multumesc!
Hi,
The problems with the layout you were experiencing could be related to having both the composers active at the same time. When the tagDiv composer and also WPBakery page builder are active, there could be layout problems.
The tagDiv composer will be activated automatically as soon as the theme is installed or updated.
So if you used Visual composer elements to create pages, deactivate the tagDiv composer. There will not be problems with default theme elements such as blocks and grids but specific WPBakery items can be affected by the tagDiv composer.
1. That code should still apply. Once entered in the theme panel custom code section, the code will not be affected by updating the theme so it should apply at all times. I could take a look at this, if you will decide to update the theme again.
2. The socials were redesigned in version 8.6 I believe, they will not be the same as before. more about this here
– https://tagdiv.com/social-network-buttons/
In almost all cases when the socials were not displayed after updating the theme, it was either cache or CDN issues, or even the browser cache. We can take a look at this as well.
3. The latest theme version contains the fixes for the Instagram widget and also the social counter. So there would be no issue. From the user feedback we have Instagram works properly after updating to the latest version.
If you should decide to update again, first deactivate the tagDiv composer. Then clear all caching, purge CDN if used and also browser cache. Let us know, so we can take a look at the problems that remain if there are any.
Thanks
Hmm, I really like the single image with text and how it renders in Visual Composer. It’s unfortunate that all these teething problems are occurring with TD composer. As I’ve said in many posts, I really love the Newspaper theme and have promoted it to a lot of people. I just with you guys weren’t making a concerted effort to push everyone away from Visual Composer. Here are some of the other issues I’ve had with TD composer echoed by other users:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/td-composer-editor-pane-margin/).
https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-composer-space-below-single-image/
Anyway, I hope you work out the bugs.
Cheers
Hi Catalin,
That’s unfortunate. I really like Visual Composer and it’s sad you’re pushing users away from it. As I mentioned in a different post, the TD composer editor pane does not format correctly on my Mac or any Mac using Sierra OS (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/td-composer-editor-pane-margin/).
I really like the Newspaper theme and have been a loyal promoter of your theme to others. I still think it’s an excellent theme, but I’ll admit I’m not happy about more and more options being cut from Visual Composer. It’s just causing me to waste more time working out the bugs on TD composer to try and do the most basic things (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tagdiv-composer-space-below-single-image/).
Kind regards
I installed the crypto news demo. Beforehand I backedup everything via Updraftplus back-up plugin. In the end I wanted to go back to my own customized theme. Unfortunateley, the updraftplus back up plugin doesn’t work at all. So I have to start all over again. Which is not a huge problem.
The whole reason that I installed the crypto news plugin because I liked a grid featured that they used. When I want to used the same feature I can’t costumize any because in the composer I will only see code : http://www.screencast.com/t/I6EFlNSe
As you can see almost everything is code. I am not a coder and just want to design using the visual composer.
Please help.
Thank you!
So you want to use block header style 1 fro that block 4, I see it currently uses block style 17
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-header-17/
Still the block should display posts and the ajax filter just like it can be seen in the demo block. Does this happen if you enable the ajax filter on a different block? or on a new page? Maybe it is a conflict of some kind if the ajax filter does not work in other cases as well. Could be caused by a plugin or code additions.
Try deactivating all the plugins except theme plugins and check if the block functions properly. Temporarily remove code entered in theme files directly or theme panel. Let us know the results.
Regardless of page builder used to create the page, the blocks and ajax filter should work without any issues. The tagDiv composer is created specially for the theme, also WPBakery (Visual composer) is tested with the theme after each update and included in the theme package.
Hi,
That would be the tabs element of WPBakery page builder, the tagDiv composer does not have an equivalent element at the moment. In the past some theme demos used to contain tabs like the website you mention.
The theme version used by that website seems to be 7.2 so it most likely uses Visual composer for page building. Using the tabs element you could create as many as you like and enter different elements in each one, in this case it is same grid type with different filtering.
Thanks
Hi Palle_66, I don’t use TagDiv Composer. I prefer Visual Composer (WP Bakery). TD composer has a number of conflicts with my set up so I don’t use it.
Hi guys,
In version 8.5, there was a VERY simple way to change the category title background color. See this img:
https://imgur.com/89jVoqe
However, in version 8.7, you will note that this option is now gone in Visual Composer (now called WP Bakery). See img for v8.7:
https://imgur.com/yPs4e11
When I use the web inspector to find out the css class, there is a massive clump of classes that affect many elements across the entire theme. See:
https://imgur.com/MPf58Vz
Obviously, all of these can’t apply to block 11 in this case. I’ve tried adding in extra classes, but it didn’t work. I’ve wasted far too much time trying to identify the specific class and then add extra classes to differentiate the different categories by color.
So my question is, how do I add back in this tag color feature in Visual Composer (WP Bakery)? I would prefer not to have to downgrade theme versions to do something this basic. If I knew which file from 8.5 to move to Newspaper 8.7, then this problem would be solved. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Kind regards
You are wrong, in the homepage smart sidebar is not working because is a widgetized element, if you scroll down in my website you’ll see the smart sidebar stays on top, while if you go to http://weekenjoy.com/san-marcos-2018-en-clandestino/ per example, you will see the sidebar sticky.
If i use a widgetized sidebar (in pages made with visual or tagdiv composer) the widget stays on top (like the home page http://weekenjoy.com/)
I don’t use both, i refer to both because it doesn’t matter what visual constructor use, i need a solution! Please read again my message because you don’t understand what i’m saying…
Hi,
The blocks and grids for example will still be displayed on pages, because Visual composer is still active. If you use Visual composer for building pages, please deactivate the tagDiv composer. When both composers are active there could be issues.
The main page builder at the moment is the tagDiv composer, but Visual composer (now WPBakery page builder) is still provided in the theme package as an optional and alternative plugin for users that do not want to use the tagDiv composer.
The Newsletter plugin and also the multi-purpose plugin will work only with the tagDiv composer.
The shortcodes that appear on your homepage at the moment such as the info box element, are multi-purpose, they require the multi-purpose plugin active.
Please decide on a page builder and build pages entirely with it. Do not edit pages with both the composers, this will lead to problems.
Thanks
Hi,
I noticed the social counters had disappeared from the back end so I updated to Newspaper 8.7. None of the plugins would install, I kept getting an error message about ‘no valid headers’, so I installed manually via FTP. They installed successfully but the site now was just showing a blank white screen on every page. I tried removing the visual composer plugin and then reinstalling it and removing the TagDiv’s Composer plugin and reinstalling that but nothing will work.
I’ve been working on it now for about 6 hours and I’ve just had to reboot my site back a week to get it working. It is now on Newspaper 8.5 and the social counters appears on every page but the homepage. I’m really confused.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?
Thanks in advance,
FM
Hi! Since it’s impossible to attach smart sidebars to pages created with visual constructors, it’s neccesary to have a way to have sticky widgets in our pages. There are some way to get this?
Or.. another option is… if you can tell me how can i attach correctly the blocks without having columns created with visual constructors, it will be valid also because when i attach block’s shortcodes to a page without columns created that blocks doesn’t have a correct position.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Instagram works only with this slash (which then shows up in the displayed username). I still use Visual Composer (now known als WPBakery Page Builder), not the new tagdiv Composer. Perhaps that’s the reason for still having this problem? Cleared cache after every adjustment / Newspaper 8.7.3. With slash all pics and followers are shown, without 0 followers, 0 pictures.
Thanks for a quick look

Hey Guys,
Since 3 days, Im getting this message in my Google Search Console inbox.
I installed the AMP-Plugin from Newspaper Theme. Maybe its because of that?
Or: a few days ago, i wanted to insert a newsletter widget inside my posts. i switched to the text area (visual, text) and just copy paste the code of the newsletter, since i cant work with the tag div composer in my blogposts.
Can anyone help me out? Its important.
Maybe I can give my credentials to a admin and he can have a look.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
That is quite an old theme version, much has changed since that version. Indeed that would be the thing to note. Once you update the tagDiv composer will be automatically activated. Visual composer elements in pages may not display properly if the tagDiv composer is active. Deactivate it and leave Visual composer (now WP Bakery page builder) active. Update Visual composer and there should be no issues
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
This is a guide to update the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
It is always recommended to keep the theme used, theme plugins and WordPress up to date. Updates will improve the functionality in many ways.
If you would then want to use the tagDiv composer, all pages will have to be recreated using it. The pages must only contain elements that belong to it.
Be sure to check if there are sufficient resources allocated for a optimal performance
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Check the theme system status and if needed ask your hosting provider to increase those parameters.
Le us know if you encounter any issues and we will try to help you as best we can.
Thanks
