- TutorialsHow to Update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
Hello Jhalla436,
Please keep in mind that WP Bakery plugin has been fully tested on my website and it seems to work as expected, without any problems. I suggest you to make a new clean install from scratch to another sub-domain via FTP way, leave just to active only the Visual Composer and try again to drag and drop your desired elements from page builder. Should work because this was fully tested. Clear all the caches and check the results. If the problem will persist, you should provide some useful screenshots with the problem. Also, ensure that your system status parameters are increased according to our documentation from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If you want to use Visual composer, deactivate the tagDiv composer. When both are active there could be issues. Also check the allocated resources
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
If you decided that the Newspaper theme is not suited for your needs, you could request a refund and we will approve it. Then you can purchase the Newsmag theme. You cannot switch one purchased theme with another.
Thanks
First, update the theme via FTP. Then delete the tagdiv composer plugin and install the updated version that came with the theme. If you use visual composer, after updating the tagdiv composer, deactivate the tagdiv composer and I hope it should be fine now.
Hi,
That is quite an old theme version, much has changed in the theme since then. However you can make the update and there should be no problem. Follow this guide
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Update by FTP if possible, this is the most recommended method in the matter. After the update deactivate the tagDiv composer, this composer may cause issues to pages built with Visual composer. It will be activated by default when the theme is installed or updated.
The tagDiv composer is considered the main theme page builder now, Visual composer will still be included in the package and updated along theme updates

I used to use the Visual Composer for my homepage and all other pages on my website. Since I want to use the new
TD functionalities I want to switch to the tagDiv Composer following the guide here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
I updated the theme to 8.7 and installed the tagDiv Composer that came with it but I can’t reate any page using tagDiv Composer; here is what happens:
– if I create a blank new page and try to edit through the tagDiv Composer I see my 404 error page which I cannot edit with this error messgae on top of the page : Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!#
-if I create a blank new page, save it as a draft and then try to edit through the tagDiv Composer I see my homepage and I can’t edit it either
Could you please help?
Hi,
I downloaded the update and installed the new theme without a problem (by FTP).
Then I deleted the plugins (by FTP) and uploaded the new ones.
I didn’t upload Revolution Slider and JS Composer as I don’t use a slider or Visual Composer.
The website crashed. I have this error message: Error 502 Ray ID: 3ed5fd824c7a33af • 2018-02-15 05:50:34 UTC
I deleted the plugins through FTP and uploaded the zips through WordPress.
Everytime I activate td composer the website crash, doesn’t let me access the admin panel anymore and give me the error: Error 502 Ray ID: 3ed5fd824c7a33af • 2018-02-15 05:50:34 UTC
Please help
I prefer visual composer and I do not plan to switch to td composer. It is ridiculous to apply this feature only to those using td composer.
td composer has many issues, too many for my taste. With VC you can use its shortcodes inside widgets, so widget implementation is easy, whenever, whatever.
It would be great to use native newsletter plugin, but luckily there are simple replacements on wordpress.org
Hi,
The theme was tested and it should not be any issues. I’m not sure what you mean with missing url? Please provide more details.
Try to install them manually via wordpress. You can find all the plugins into the theme package that you download from themeforest in /plugins folder – https://www.screencast.com/t/3xsKkMoC
I suppose you used Visual Composer if you have Newspaper 7 so please try to deactivate tagdiv composer. If you plan to use it you please read more here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/ – https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks!
Hi,
That would depend on what changes you would like to make to the author box. Visual improvements could be made with CSS. The browser inspector can be used to customize various elements on the website, if there are no theme elements for this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
I could give you a code to style the box, if you could provide some examples.
Thanks
Hello lizdi2018,
Make sure that one page is not created with Visual Composer because then will appear some conflicts and that’s why you bring this issue.
Thanks for the message!
@munichnow The wider layout is achieved by stretching the rows. There are also many Full grids available that can be used
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
If you built your website with Visual composer you can keep using that, or consider switching to the tagDiv composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
The tagDiv composer will receive many more features and options. Also the multi-purpose plugin can be used with it
– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0ARTSimnUY&index=4&list=PL6CsDkMaejhr2ExZCO73U11SSVKB9r_NE
These new elements cannot be used with Visual composer. In case you should consider using the tagDiv composer, you will have to recreate all the pages with it.
Thanks
Hi,
The video playlist is not a recent element, it has been around for a while. It can be found in either Visual composer or tagDiv composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/2pkni3pdQo
It can also be placed in posts like this
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/video-playlist-2/
The playlist uses video IDs, these must be entered in the required field
– https://www.screencast.com/t/xHawJWERR
An alternative would be to simple embed ready made playlists, like these examples
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/youtube-playlist-instead-of-each-video-individually/
Thanks
Hello,
If tabs and accordions are a must for your project, you can simply stop using the tagdiv composer and use visual composer just as before. There is this option as well. Tagdiv composer is not mandatory.
Thank you!
@Chris – Thanks and I agree it’s pretty easy to use if you know HTML, but I have a lot of authors on these websites whose minds would explode if I showed them this code they had to use every time they wanted to create an accordion. They have gotten pretty used to using the easy drag and drop tools of Visual Composer. Just click the button for the element and add in the content. The reason we went with Newspaper in the first place (over 3 years ago) was it had all these great drag and drop tools, was easy to use, and looked fantastic and professional. It was an easy sell to my school district to go with Newspaper.
Now it looks like I need to do research again on plugins and themes… hopefully just a plugin this time that will give me the functionality of adding accordions and tabs easily without the use of HTML and shortcodes PLUS+ work with TD Composer. I’ll share if I find something.
I came here because I too did not have the files listed in your instructions. I have never installed a visual composer on the site i’m working on so removing it was not an option. I do not see how we can follow the instructions is the zip file we download does not have the js_Composer.zip files in it.
I’ve done a search of the entire file it does not have a file with the name listed in the instruction within it. Please advise.
Thank you
We have this same issue with TagDiv Composer – if that plugin is enabled, we cannot log in to WP Admin due to too many redirects. We instead have to use Visual Composer
Hello arpass,
Unfortunately, please keep in mind that on the page, the theme does not have any such an option that allows you to add a photo gallery, but only for posts, sorry! You should use the Visual Composer elements if you want to achieve something like this, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If you have decided to use Visual composer for your website, then deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin. When both composers are active such issues will happen.
Thanks
Hi,
I couldn’t say exactly, we have not made any tests with that plugin. If it is causing such issue then it means there are compatibility issues. You could try a different security plugins and make tests
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/tutorial-good-basic-security-practices/
Yes you can still use Visual composer further. We will provide updates for this plugin along theme updates. There will be no problem using Visual composer, just remember to deactivate the tagDiv composer after making the update.
Thanks
Hi Simon,
it seems that issue was caused by the WP Hide plugin. We changed the /wp-admin folder to another one, and that seemed to be the reason for the theme’s options page issues.
It seemed like the theme couldn’t locate image, css, js files etc. Is it possible that your theme works correctly with this security plugin?
another issue: is it possible to upgrade to 8.2 or 8.5 and still use the WP Bakery Visual Editor?
It seems like switching to your tagdiv composer will not be easy. It’s not 100% compatible with the VE, and we have hundreds of page types, so going through all of them and changing everything manually, wouldn’t be something that we would like to do….
Please advise,
Adam
Hello arpass,
If you want to use a Gallery on page, you should use the Visual Composer plugin and check the Image Gallery element like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/AS7buYJOouE
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
There were some issues between the theme and the WordPress update a few updates ago. These were fixed a while ago in version 8.2. It is recommended to always update theme and WordPress, not just one.
Please try and update the theme to the latest version available
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The FTP method is the most recommended. Then check if the issue is still happening. a thing to note is that after updating the tagDiv composer will be automatically activated. This can cause issues with specific Visual composer elements,
If it is, go through all these steps. Deactivate all plugins except theme plugins, clear all caching and CDN files if used. Switch to the main theme in case you use a child theme. Temporarily remove custom code added in theme panel or theme files, do not enter any code in theme files. While going thorough these steps, keep checking if the issue is still present.
Thanks
OK, I have started my journey from Visual Composer to Tagdiv Composer. Two questions so far:
1. Single Image element. How do I change the image size to be round as a circle and not an oval? Also; is there any differns between two options Circle and Round in the Box Style field? http://www.ladiesabroad.se/about-ladies-abroad.html
2. I have two pages which I made in Visual Composer using four columns and html boxes. I originally tried a couple of grids, but could not use them since they made all images square and that did not work for me. I need to have the images shown in their original format, and found the best way to doing so was four columns. I undertand it as TagDiv Comoposer only have three columns. Any suggestions how to solve this? http://www.ladiesabroad.se/utmarkelser.html

thanks.
Hello Jerrard,
Please keep in mind that we focus our attention on our page builder which is TD Composer and this plugin will be improved with some features which have to be exclusively for this builder. Notice that further, you can use the Visual Composer but there will be no major improvements, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Demos may contain multi-purpose elements, these can only be edited or placed with the tagDiv composer. The dental demo is built with such elements, it cannot be edited with Visual composer, the shortcodes will not be interpreted by it.
The tagDiv composer is the main page builder in the theme. All the demos are built with it. The new multi-purpose plugin and elements can only be used with it. Coming updates will provide many more options and features specially for the tagDiv composer. That should be taken into consideration
