My site has been neglected for quite a while. Considering going again, but I’m unable to use the visual editing tool. I clicked TD Composer and it just spins.
WP Version 6.2.2
Newspaper Version 8.6
Anything you can offer to get me back on track would be appreciated!
I have been using Newspaper for many years now.
I’ve been having a big problem lately when writing articles.
They are summarized below.
(When I write articles, I use Visual Composer (premium version) as my editor.)
1. First of all, it takes an insane amount of time to load the editor. My computer takes nearly a minute just to open an article post.
2. Secondly, there is a large delay (time lag) when entering text. In other words, what it means is that the characters you type are reflected on the screen with a delay of 2.3 seconds.
This prevents me from writing articles, though not very much.
What should I do?
I have consulted with the visual composer support team on this issue many times and have been able to figure out the cause of the problem.
As a result, I got a response from the Visual Composer support team. Quoted below.

Hi,
It looks like the issue is with the theme that you are using . When we switched the theme to 2023 we dont see the problem .
Could you contact the theme support for this?
—to this point.
What should I do. Perhaps resource consumption is the problem.
Help me.
Dear Tagdiv,
I am using newspaper for our car blog ( https://egzo stive.com ), and I am looking for a tag cloud function, that visualises the tags used by the page with their frequency (like these https://designorbital.com/wordpress/tag-cloud-wordpress-widgets/).
Ideally, this would be located on the sidebar and list all used tags, with the most used ones using larger letters.
Is there a widget in the Newspaper toolkit?
If not, is there a recommended plugin that was tested?
Best

Thanks for your answer, but the problem is that i can’t find the ad visually.
The ad appear in the mobile mode, not in the screen mode cause i deleted it ?
Hi, ok, I’ll check in the mirror to see if I see what’s there or what’s interfering. but as for modifying the code, I have not modified anything, I have only used visual modifications in the theme option in the theme panel. but just like always the theme was bad and slow.
The solution of doing a scratch installation is not viable.
Hello, this is my first post! Sorry for my rusty english.
I’ve just purchased the last version (12) of Newspaper theme for WordPress for the site of a client, who uses the 7th.
After the activation, i got a problem of visualization, as you can see in the attached pic. The browser responses with the code of the page.
After the uploading via ftp, I went on apparence -> themes and I’ve activated the new version. There was a required plugin update. After this, i purged all the caches of the site… and I saw this:

Now, I downgraded to v7 but I have some critical errors in my backend.
Php version: 7.4
Site url: https://www.smarknews.it
How can I fix? Thank you! best regards.

If you zoom in to 300% or 400%+ (at least on my PC) this dropdown menu labelled “The Rimont” appears on a sticky row that follows the user up and down the webpage. The Rimont is the name of the demo and header theme, and I can isolate the element when viewing the Chrome console, but I don’t see where it’s coming from in either the visual composer or in the shortcode editor. Has anyone seen this before? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Calin,
Thank you for your response.
I do not think it is possible.
The ‘normal’ header is not an option since you cannot place a search form in it (or anything else).
The ‘above the content’ header does not work, because X is inside div ‘tdm-pm-header’. This div has z-index: 10, obviously to make the X work properly.
– As a result, whenever X visually seems to be on the same line as any other element (menu item, search form, logo with link etc), this element is not working, as it appears ‘below’ X element, so it is blocked.
You can see it here, and any other demo that has this type of menu.
– An option could probably be to set z-index 10 to any of those elements that are covered by X element?
The best would probably be, if you can please add on the list an option to have a ‘normal’ header, with logo and search form.
Thank you.
Hi, I installed bbpress and added the visual editor to make it easier for users to post.
However, the visual editor seems to inherit the theme CSS and all the icons are black background now, like this page https://weliveinus.com/forums/forum/1786/ I know the theme doesn’t allow me to use tagDev composer, but is there anyway I can stop the visual editor inherit the theme CSS? I want to make it no background color otherwise it’s so hard to see.
I added the visual editor in the functions.php with the following:
function bbp_enable_visual_editor( $args = array() ) {
$args[‘tinymce’] = true;
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_after_get_the_content_parse_args’, ‘bbp_enable_visual_editor’ );
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
We have shortcode to display single post tags, categories, and custom taxonomies. It would be great to have a shortcode that can display all the taxonomies(including custom taxonomies) in one place by putting comma separated values. For example, a shortcode that takes the following values, categories, post_tags, custom-taxonomy-1, custom-taxonomy-2 and display all of them in one place skipping the taxonomy that is not used for the article.
If you think that’s enough for you to know, you can skip the rest of the post. But if you want to know why I made this request, please continue reading.
The reason is that tags in wordpress are painfully disorganized.
Suppose you have a tech blog. The categories are
- OS(subcategories(Linux, Windows, Mac, etc));
- Programming(subcategories(software dev, web dev, AI, etc));
- Sysadmin(subcategories(security, performance, monitoring, etc));
Everything’s sweet upto this point.
Now, tags come into play…Suppose we have these tags:
js, css, python, c#, commands, cloud, database, dns, networking, firewalls, mathematics, algorithm, scaling, infrastructure, servers, ubuntu, debian, fedora, css, html, responsive web design, apache, nginx, litespeed, oop, mysql, response time, jobs, remote work, visualstudio, support, updates, disaster management, testing, training, etc.
You can see there is no organization among tags. But there is a pattern, some tags are programming languages, some are OS, some are web servers, some are performance related. One can argue as to why not use them as sub-sub categories for organization? But a job tag could be placed in a lot of categories and so could be python and a lot of others. Moreover, a tag is open and free of relations and hierarchy. Also tags could be thousands in numbers, categories shouldn’t be.
But this is not the main issue because everthing can be solved with the help of custom taxonomies using a plugin.
Following custom taxonomies can be created:-
Tag Programming Language— js, c++, python, c#, java, swift, php, html, css, c and a lot more
Tag Work— Job, workplace, remote work, team management, salary, interview prepration, etc
Tag Software— VS code, notepade++, putty, virtualmin, termius, cyberduck, etc
Tag Infotech— dns, networking, infrastructure, clustering, cloud computing, scaling, firewalls, scripting, nginx, and a
hundred more.
This type of organization is not possible with categories. Firstly because the above organization is not hierarchical, secondly there’s no stress of numbers. They can be in thousands. Thirdly, they don’t share any exclusive relationship to their parent.
You might ask why I want this. User experience. That’s all.
For example, I can make separate section for different types of taxonomies for users to see. A section for softwares, a section for infotech, a section for programming languages, etc, or put softwares, infotech or programming languages in the header menu along with the categories. Imagine seeing a section displaying hundreds of tags on a website on a single page. That would a disaster. Pure chaos. But with custom taxonomy I can achive this.
Now the problem is everything is ready. I have four different type of custom taxonomy. I write an article that requires these tags— job, python, cloud, termius. But, as seen above, these are all different taxonomies(not tags).
To display them on my article, I have to use four different custom taxonomy shortcodes and put each taxonomy in each shortcode setting. These would occupy four horizontal lines(a lot of space, and will look ugly).
It would make the job a lot easier if just one shortcode could do this job. Like putting work, infotech, programming language, softwares, etc in the shortcode will show all the taxonomy terms at one place like tags. And if a term is put in shortcode but is not used in article, it won’t appear. Because you don’t know which taxonomy would be used on which article because it’s a global template. So you put all of them and the unused ones are not shown.
All you would have to do is create a shortcode that is able to accept multiple types of taxonomies and display them in one row(inline) and discard the taxonomy types that are not used even if they are in shortcode.
Thanks.
If you want, I can share examples.
When I am on desktop the menu and the sticky menu look very different. Even though I have used the same logo for both headers, the sticky menu has completely different sizes and spacings.
The same goes for mobile.
The menu’s also look very different from what you see in the tagdiv builder, so when I think I have made it visually nice and save it. It doesn’t look like how I have made it.
Is there a way to just make 1 menu for desktop that remains sticky and 1 menu for mobile that remains sticky.. instead of having to keep adjusting 4 elements to look the same and never being able to get them to look the same.
Hello!
When you disable Google Fonts and add custom fonts to your website, there could be a number of reasons why the fonts might “jump” or change unexpectedly.
One possible reason is that the custom font files may not have loaded properly, causing a delay in the display of the font. This delay can cause the text to appear without any font for a brief moment before the custom font is loaded, resulting in a noticeable jump.
Another possible reason is that the custom fonts you added may have different font metrics, such as line height or letter spacing, compared to the Google Fonts you disabled. This can cause text to reflow and adjust to the new metrics, resulting in a visual jump.
Thank you!
Hi!
I use Google Fonts (“Mulish”), and has selected this font in both “Theme panel -> Theme fonts” and also in Visual Composer as global font. And it works fine.
But it bothers me that the secondary font used before Google Fonts is finished loading is really different from “Mulish”.
Take a look here: https://postimg.cc/w3fc1Qnm
How do I change the secondary font that is used when Google Fonts is loading? Change it to a standard font that looks more like “Mulish”, for example “Verdana”.

Newspaper theme with tagDiv Cloud Fitness Pro template
Issues with mobile (2nd build had to scrap the first one because of tagDiv Mobile + AMP conflicts with TD Composer responsive Fitness Pro Cloud Template.
1. I want to edit in one place.
2. On my first build, I noticed that by installing the recommended tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin, it overwrites the responsive customizations that I made in TD Composer. And even worse, when I installed the AMP plugin from the Newspaper plugins dashboard, it created error codes visible at the footer. Uninstalling did not help. I had to completely uninstall the theme and start everything from the beginning. Not fun.
3. On my 2nd build, I did not install the tagDiv Mobile Theme plugin. I did install AMP.
4. On my 2nd build of thisisfootballin.com using the Fitness Pro Cloud template I customized all formats (desktop viewport, landscape viewport, portrait viewport, mobile viewport) in the TD Composer. I like the visual layout/design aspects of the Fitness Pro template the way it appears in the responsive format (the mobile viewport) when customizing using the TD Composer.
5. In tagDiv Cloud Templates I was able to edit the header with TD Composer for all formats (viewpoints). The same is true for the footer. However, the homepage templates show “Homepage – Fitness Pro” as front page “yes” and mobile template ” – ” beneath this is shows “Home” as an unchecked box for front page and “yes” for Mobile template.
* Homepage – Fitness Pro = https://thisisfootballin.com
* Home = https://thisisfootballin.com/home/
6. When I edit Homepage Fitness Pro in TD Composer it has all viewpoints but says “create mobile page” even though it clearly shows the mobile viewpoint with full customizations and when I open the site on mobile it shows the same as described in #4 above.
7. When I edit Home in TD Composer it brings up a different view of mobile and says “edit mobile page”
I do not want to do all these edits again and I am very confused as to why the mobile viewpoint in Homepage Fitness Pro in TD Composer is not registering as the mobile template under Fitness Pro in the tagDiv Cloud homepage templates.
8. This becomes an issue when in the TD Composer editing Homepage Fitness Pro in the mobile viewpoint. When I tap the menu icon to edit, it opens the preloaded mobile menu from the tagDiv Cloud template “home” and there is no way to edit this that I can find.
9. Also why would I have 2 home pages?
10. Forget even trying to do this is tagDiv Mobile theme plugin…
11. Am I doing this all wrong? I want the speed and ability of the tagDiv mobile + AMP but the design of the mobile viewport found in the TD Composer for Fitness Pro template. The plugin doesn’t offer any of the customizations that are preloaded with the Fitness Pro template.
Hi!
I decided to disable Google Fonts due to slow loading time when testing my website with PageSpeed Insights.
I only use one font and to different weights from this font on my whole website.
So I downloaded the two fonts, converted to .woff and then uploaded as two custom fonts. And of course changed to these two custom fonts on all elements in Visual Composer.
It seemed to work fine in my browser (Chrome on Mac), and I was happy, because it also made a good effect on the loading time.
But then I checked on some other devices and browsers, and I found that it does not work a lot of places.
It does not work in Safari and Firefox at both Mac, iPad and iPhone. But it works fine in Chrome at all three devices.
What to do? Why do custom fonts only work in Chrome?
Who mentioned wp-bakery? I don’t use wp-bakery and the ads are those of adsense

Thank you! I’ll give it a shot. Any recommendations on where to find the recommended image size to use to maintain the ratio/visual as the pre-built sites?
Hi,
I’m new to “NewsPaper”, I’ve been reading through the guides but can’t seem to find an easy guide to help me
I want to import the https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_medicine_pro/ pre-built website as it is the one with the design I’d prefer to use, but I want to use the post headers as the https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper_center_pro/ where the featured image is squared and the title-meta is next to it.
Also, is there an image size guide to maintain the ratio/visual as the pre-built sites?
Thank you!
Hi @Bettina
Thank you for your answer but it does not answer my question…
Your solution is only interesting for people who create a website and who start from 0.
Using a cloud template to modify my posts with TagDiv Composer is a huge waste of time for me as I have to create several of them because I have more than 1000 very different articles that I will have to check one by one.
Why not be able to modify the posts directly with TagDiv Composer without creating a cloud template (like the pages)…
It’s good to think about your future users (customers), but it’s a shame you don’t think about those who have trusted you and who use your theme for years.
On the other hand, I also waste a lot more time editing my pages (more than 400) with TagDiv Composer. It was much faster with WP Bakery Visual Composer. Too bad for me, that it is not compatible with your theme anymore.
Once again, you have thought about your users…
Best regards
Hello,
After having learned that I could not use WP Bakery Visual Composer anymore (I learned it on your forum because I did not have access to it anymore) but TagDiv Composer, I notice today that I cannot use TagDiv Composer on posts but only on pages…
Thank you for confirming that I cannot use TAgDiv Composer on posts and in this case, what do you have planned for your users (are you thinking of your users?) who, like me, have more than 1000 articles and who have used WP Bakery Visual Composer to create them.
Best regards
Hi-
Is there any way to loop the posts in one row together the same way a post loop works?
For example, in the screenshot it shows one of our sections but we would like for them to be a continuation of the same releases category. If we set them all as the same category, it repeats itself in each column.
We don’t want to add a normal post loop because they are not as visually appealing as the flex blocks.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I hope you had a good start into the week! For a new article, I’m trying to embed an instagram post (using Newspaper 12.1, WP 6.0.3, Classic Editor). For this, I’ve tried a couple of things already:
1. Just place the url (e.g. https://www.instagram.com/p/[placeholder]/ note: Just used [placeholder] here, but have a working URL in the article) in the article (tried visual and text editor). Here I just see the plain URL then in the article.
2. Using the embed code from instagram (began with putting it into the text editor, but also tried visual).
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work. It looks like this in the article (above URL, below embed code): https://imgur.com/a/tpLN6I5
Am I missing something here?
Thanks for your help and best regards,

Hi there,
My client’s site uses the WP Bakery plugin rather that the tagDiv composer. My understanding was that with Newspaper updates, new versions of WP Bakery would be included. But after the most recent update, I checked the WP Bakery version and it is 6.6, released early last year. I also couldn’t locate a copy of the plugin in the plugins folder of a recent Themeforest download.
Please could you clarify whether you have indeed discontinued updating this plugin. If you have, then I could consider getting a licence for WP Bakery, however I am concerned that you may no longer be developing the theme with WP Bakery in mind, but rather focussing on the tagDiv Composer.
I also wanted to read your documentation about moving from WP Bakery to tagDiv but it gives a 404: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
