- TutorialsHow to Update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
Hi,
we´re using the Newspaper Theme in version 7.8.1 and we want now to update at the latest version. Our online news portal has a lot of content …
Also we have many pages and articles build with Visual Composer and so we wouldn´t use the tagdiv composer. How we should now update? How we could deactivate the tagdiv composer – if we have to do this?
Are there any other issues which could happend, if we didn´t use your composer?
And the last questions (for the future): Is there an “easy” way to transfer all content created with Visual Composer to tagdiv composer – or have we to re-create all content which has been made with the Visual Composer? And what about articles which has content like shortcodes?
Thanks a lot for your help
I was talking about the same problem in two posts in this forum, excuse me (titled “WPBakery Page Builder”).
I’m sure I was not using Visual composer or WPBakery for posts. This was only for homepage. Now I developed a new homepage working with TagDiv Visual Composer and this is now the homepage.
I disabled WPBakery Page Builder.
But this don’t fixed my problem.
My problem is with Newspaper default template for Posts, because the width of content text is fullwidth instead of the measure of the template.
I hope this is clearer and can help me.
What is your recommendation for to use with posts?
The site has been working very well with WPBakery. Really I have only the homepage as page and all my posts are built with Default site post template Style 3.
I think I don’t use VC for posts.
The post I send in example is built with style 3:
http://chilecientifico.com/las-regiones-se-toman-congreso-futuro/
Maybe I have to rectify. The posts are built with Default site post template.
Is the influence of Visual Composer anyway important?
Please your help.
Hello I have recently started using the tagdiv composer and deleted visual composer. Currently the mobile theme is active. How to hide the featured image displayed at the top of each pages for a particular category. I’m looking for a simple CSS solution. I hear that the official AMP plugin will be released soon. What about the mobile plugin after that. Is it mandatory to use both the plugins or just the AMP. I have another blog that requires AMP support. Can I wait for the official AMP plugin or the official AMP plugin?
Thanks in Advance.
ello,
We know of 3 possible causes for this issue.
1) The wp super cache setting to cache page. Please only use these settings in wp super cache: https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
If you use any other cache plugin, make sure you do not cache pages for known users or for logged in users depending on the plugin setting.
2) Do not use this setting in seo by yoast: https://www.screencast.com/t/n8Cc35EofLh
3) Editing a page that was previously built with another page builder.
You need to edit the page with the builder it was initially created with. Do not edit a page with tagdiv composer if it was not originally built with it. If you created your page in visual composer and then switched to our own page builder, you will have to re-create that page
Thanks
Hello,
VPBakery page builder = Visual composer. They simply changed names in the current version of the plugin.
If you use visual composer on posts, you will not be able to switch to the tagdiv composer as it cannot be used on posts. Visual composer as well was never tested or recommended to be used on posts as mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer
If you already used it on all your posts then stick to visual composer for now as you will have to re-create all the posts to not use VC if you want to switch page builders.
Thank you!
Hi,
The tagDiv composer pages should not be edited with Visual composer, or the other way around. Choose the one you want and deactivate the other.
If you want to set a custom page, create it previously with the composer you use with the elements needed.
Then set it as shop page, the custom content will be displayed first, then the product loop or what it is chosen in the Woocoomerce settings for the shop page.
Do not edit the page again with the composer after setting it as shop page. There will be errors. That could be the issue that is happening to you.
Thanks
Hello,
This issue happens because you use visual composer on posts and the current version of the theme activates the tagdiv composer automatically. Please do not use both visual composer and tagdiv composer at the same time. Visual composer was never meant to be used on posts in our theme as mentioned here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
If you want to switch from visual composer to the tagdiv composer, please use this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thank you!
Please ignore the Visual composer activation messages. The bundled version does not need any activation in order to be used
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Access to the Visual composer template library is limited to purchased and activated plugin, not bundled versions.
Thanks
I have implemented tagdiv composer and removed visual composer. Used mobile plugin and optimized the speed for the mobile visitors. In addition i have also implemented amp use the AMP for WordPress plugin. Good to hear that the official plugin is goimg to be released. I have a doubt now. After the official release of AMP, what happens to the mobile plugin? Is it still required or can I show the same amp pages to the mobile users? The output of both the mobile plugin and amp pages will be almost same. What is the use of keeping both the plugins?
I’m a bit confused. I updated Newspaper and I think maybe I have to update Visual Composer to tagDiv Composer, but I have WPBakery Page Builder, not Visual Composer. Now I have tagDiv Composer and WPBakery Page Builder. What should I do?
Is WPBakery Page Builder the same Visual Composer?
and also, I have many posts published, should I change one to one of them to be built by TagDiv composer? Is it a one-to-one task? Please, I need help now because I have serious problems now, because I updated the template and no tagDiv Composer (I realized after).
Greetings,
Since i installed the new theme on my website, my adsense ads don’t appear in the posts, but only on the homepage.
When you watch the posts,the banners are visualized only few times.
I did an investiation and it could happen because of “rebots.txt”. How you can see, my robots.txt has good settinge.
How can i solve this problem?
example: https://www.sardegnareporter.it/24/01/2018/castelsardo-ammissione-class-action-contro-abbanoa/
Update the theme via FTP: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
Keep in mind: Please do not use both the tagDiv Composer and Visual Composer simultaneously on the same page.

In trying to convert from Visual Composer to Tagdiv Composer, I copied over a lot of VC shortcode. One of the things that didn’t translate is the [vc_btn]. Is there an alternative shortcode to this which I can conveniently replace it with? Or would I need to manually create these buttons in an edit page as described in this post?
Hello Joe,
Notice that you can use the Premium Feature of Visual Composer but we cannot say for sure if these will work or not with the theme because these were not been tested with the theme, sorry! We recommend using only the Visual Composer version which comes bundled with the theme core files because this plugin has been optimized for our theme. We cannot provide support for other untested plugins.
Thanks.
Send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information. We will take a look. Also include a link to this topic in the email.
Visual composer does not need any activation, install it and use it. Ignore the activation messages, those cannot be removed from the bundled plugin version
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Hi everyone,
is it possible to use premium feature Visual Composer database? In preferences, I have non-activated Visual Composer, but there I read that plugin from theme is activated.
I need for example download template of contact-page from theme library in VC.
Thank you for reply.
Sincerely
mr. Joe
Hello,
thank you very much for new button shortcodes that came with Multi purpose plugin. I have 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to use this shortcode even in posts. Recently I have to use Visual composer together with TD composer (which is not recommended, I know) because VC has button shortcodes that I use in posts. It would be fine to use TD button shortcode in posts and to finally deactivate Visual composer.
2. Is there a way how to style button text size? It is quite small now.
Best regards
Andrea
Hi,
@baztanet If you could provide a link to where this is happening on your website, we will investigate. All issues until now related to the social sharing were either visual issues resolved by clearing all caches installed, CDN and also browser cache, and adapting child theme customization.
Or in some cases conflicts with plugins, which caused the socials to not display or function properly.
Thanks

Hi,
The column content is a multi-purpose element, added when the multi-purpose plugin is active along with the tagDiv composer. Check if the plugin is active in order to be able to use the many available multi-purpose items.
The solution Bogdan provided is based on the column content element
– https://www.screencast.com/t/As8rsjDhxmY
This is many options for styling, use them to style it as needed. The shortcode you mention would be a call to action element, tagDiv composer also has a similar item
– https://www.screencast.com/t/cMMF3NQo
So you could use that element, it all depends on your requirements. These multi-purpose elements have many design options and possibilities, they may not be exactly similar to Visual composer items, they are not meant to.
Thanks
Disable Visual Composer … just use the new TD Composer if you only use ‘pages’ on your site; and you will need to modify to work with the new plugin in some cases.
Or, continue to use VC and disable TDC.
Usually good to do one update at a time — meaning, update WP, and when site is stable THEN do the theme upgrade.
So, in theory, you could roll back theme and keep the WP update which is a security update.
Hi guys
I am trying to create 200+ pages for our communities in my city.
I had been able to do this using Visual Composer in the past, where i would grab their shortcodes and just edit the text as needed using my own shortcodes.
This seems to work for the most part, however if i use the text editor to re-create these pages and just change the name of communities and try to make changes to the text files, it breaks and spits out weird characters, specifically when using TAGDIV’s Inline text block, ie:
[tdm_block_inline_text description=”The Bonavista community newsletter has strong and consistent readership el_class=”newsletter-description”]
The text output like so:
��,��mz������x��,�Ț�*’5�,��mz��nX���u�ئz�^�’����u�b���v���
What i dont understand is why your shortcode actually looks like this on wordpress text editor:
[tdm_block_inline_text description=”JTNDZGl2JTIwaWQlM0QlMjJuZXdzbGV0dGVyLWJhbm5lciUyMiUyMHN0eWxlJTN” display_inline=”yes” tdc_css=”eyJhbGwiOnsid2lkdGgiOiIyMTUiLCJkaXNwbGF5IjoiIn19″]
Is it getting hashed/salted somehow before outputting the html?
Is there a way i can use just “plain text” in these inline text blocks? Can you please help me?
Is there perhaps a better way to batch create these pages? All pages will have the same structure, ad at the top, a side bar, pdf link and paragraph of magazine, a news block section about that community, the “archive” of past editions, a quick section on the community association, the demographics and nearby publications.
I dont want to do these manually using TD composer, can you help me figure this one out? If i am able to do these via shortcodes it will make things a lot easier for me.
Hi,
It clearly states the plugin is to be used with Visual composer (older versions). In the theme package only the latest version of Visual composer is provided. Unless you are using already an older version it will not work as stated in the plugin description. We have not tested this plugin with Visual composer, so I could not say if it works or not.
The tagDiv composer will not work with this plugin. These are different page builders, no relation between them except both being provided in the theme package.
Thanks
Hi,
First please note that if you have decided to use Visual composer, the tagDiv composer is to be deactivated. If both are enabled it could result in issues like rows stretched in Visual composer not working when tagDiv composer is enabled.
Also do not edit pages built with one composer, with the other.
Maybe I am misunderstand the issue here. Blocks are predefined, they will always display the same. When rows are stretched with content, they will be stretched as well. I don’t quite understand what you are trying to do with the block, if you could maybe provide some more accurate details it would be very helpful.
Space between the modules of blocks cannot be changed, if that is what you want to do. These are fixed at all times.
Thanks
