Hi,
The tagDiv composer does not yet have a similar button element as Visual composer. It might be available in a future update however. Sorry for this inconvenience.
If you should consider this a solution, you could use a text element and create the button that way and add a link to it

Is Visual Composer no longer bundled with Newspaper 8 now that you guys have built TD Composer? I downloaded the latest version of the theme and in Newspaper -> Includes -> Plugins there is only two plugins. td-composer & td-social-composer. I went to use TD Composer a while back and just didn’t care for it. I would like to continue to use Visual Composer. Constantly being told there is an update is annoying though.
This is wrong, TagDiv shouldn’t have to make this a required plugin when we can simply use other plugins like Visual Composer which works fine. How is it required? The theme is fine without it. Sorry, don’t mean to be a pain but I’m surprised about this. Will I have to deactivate and uninstall everytime I update?
Hi,
Page speed can be affected by many factors. Having complex Visual composer elements on pages can have a negative impact on page speed. I believe that is the functionality of the post grid that from Visual composer. You could try to reduce the initial number of post loaded in the grid, that should have a positive effect on loading speed of the grid.
Also check the theme system status
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
You could use theme grids and blocks to display the posts. These are all the available blocks and grids
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
Use the selection on the right to switch block and grid type.
Thanks
Hello Ryansmccain,
Yes, you understand these concepts well! We recommend using our page builder plugin, being a required and Visual Composer it’s an optional plugin. None of these both plugins are not designed to be used for posts, sorry! To personalize your posts, notice that you can try using the TinyMCE editor from post editor according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-post-formats-for-tinymce/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If it happened after the update, please go to your plugins section and deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin. This composer is automatically activated when the theme is installed or updated. It can cause similar issues for pages or posts that contain Visual composer elements.
After deactivating it everything should display like before.
Thanks
Hello 🙂
I want to customize mobile theme freely.
(e.g. customizing through TD composer or Visual Composer)
Default theme is also fast and great but my client requests more beautiful and detailed main page..
In this case, should I delete TD mobile theme plugin and build new mobile page through some useful plugins?
Could you give me any information please?
Hello Ryansmccain,
Why does it seem to be random? Please keep in mind that our theme comes bundled with this integrated plugin as Visual Composer which is made by WPBakery Page Builder and which the core file is named js_composer.zip. This kind of popular plugin has been implemented in our theme which helps you to create your pages more easily.
More recently, it was introduced our own page builder which is named TD Composer. So, that page builder is at the beginning and also, it is in a continuous development. You will not found all the elements which Visual Composer has. From now on, this plugin will be improved with some features which have to be exclusively for this builder. You can use our page builder in default WordPress editor but you should know the shortcodes generated by this plugin. You should use the FrontEnd editor for this page builder, like this -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Ryansmccain,
Please check the following useful manual here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ regarding the transition between Visual Composer and TD Composer!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
There have been many changes since version 7.7. The latest theme version is 8.1.1 at the moment. In version 8 the tagDiv composer was introduced as the main page builder
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
This editor can have an impact on pages created with Visual composer. It is activated by default when the theme is updated or installed. Simply deactivate it in the plugins section and the website should display properly.
Also custom code or theme modifications you might be using with the current version, might not work properly with the latest update. The child theme if used, might need adjustments as well. Use this guide to update the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
I see that currently that you are using version 8.1 on the website. There are no issues with the homepage that I can see.
That flash could be caused by a plugin conflict. Try deactivating all plugins except theme plugins as a test. Clear any caching installed after this. Then check if the issue is still happening.
Thanks
Hi,
I could ‘t say exactly why the search results are displayed like that by Google. Maybe you can find more similar cases online. It could have something to do with the website language.
The Yoast SEO plugin has to be used for SEO optimization, the theme does not have any options or settings in this matter.
For translation you could try the qTranslate plugin. The theme is compatible with WPML also. Or make tests with other plugins as well
– http://www.wpbeginner.com/showcase/9-best-translation-plugins-for-wordpress-websites/
I believe that verification code has to be entered in the theme header file, between the head tags
– https://www.screencast.com/t/3ORNutEVslq
There are multiple methods to update the theme
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
The new updates simply updates the Visual composer and Revolutions slider plugins. Also some modifications were made to a couple of theme files

Thanks
Hi,
Older pages created with Visual composer should not be affected by the plugin update. That would mean problems for everybody that uses and updates Visual composer.
Please provide more details about the issues that are happening for you, and a link to your website if needed so we can inspect the problem.
Thanks
Hi,
Yesterday i noticed that the website had developed an issue. The problem was that when navigating between pages on the website there was a flash of the mobile menu background before the page would load. So before the pages load theres a quick flash of the purple background used on mobile menu.
I decided to look in my envato account to check on theme updates. I saw that i was on version 7.7 so needed to update my theme.
Since updating the the latest version of the theme my website layout has broken.
Now the website homepage has changed to full width. Now there is also something called TD composer in place of visual composer tab on the homepage.
The website also seems much slower to load now. https://news.lovepattayathailand.com
Anyway,if possible i would like to re-install the previous version of the theme and go back to how it was before.
Or id like some support in fixing the mess my update has caused please.
Thanks
I would like to see the original question answered. I don’t use Visual Composer or the Revolution Slider.
Hello MiguelPat,
Unfortunately, this plugin was not been tested with our theme and rather with the mobile theme and we cannot say for sure if it will work or not, sorry! Notice that the Mobile Theme is very complex and this plugin might interfere with it and causes a lot of unknown issues. Also, notice that our mobile theme has an own mobile style and the theme will not recognize any code/shortcode comes from another untested plugin and that’s why you cannot bring any results. As a remark, the mobile theme has been designed to be used only in default layout and to be faster, this theme will not recognize any Visual Composer or TD Composer shortcode.
Thanks for your understanding!
Problem solved, although we have Newspaper 8 already, without Visual Composer. We only use TagDiv Composer. So it seemed a TagDiv Composer problem.
Solution: Log out as admin in WordPress. Open your sites domain and use the sign in on top of the screen (not WP admin login). Then it works again.
Hi regio-online,
Please do not use both composers for your website because you can encounter some problems. PLease refer to this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can further inspect it closer your setup page. Before writing us, please make sure that you have removed/disabled all of your untested plugins because this is the first steps for debugging in WordPress.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello usalitanus,
First of all, please ensure that you have installed the theme according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/ and then, please read all of our documentation to familiarize with all the theme’s elements and how they should work. You can start from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello ruivideira,
First of all, ensure that you have right installed the theme via FTP way because this is the surest theme method. Also, check the system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Also, notice that we do not recommend simultaneous use both plugins because could appear some conflicts. Please reads this useful manual here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin,
Thank you for your reply.
For your suggestions below,
1)Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init() -> bindViewsModelsWrappers()!
Please do not use this setting in Seo by Yoast:
https://www.screencast.com/t/n8Cc35EofLh Also, if you are using the WP Super Cache plugin, please ensure that has been right setup according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/cache-plugin-install-and-configure/
The setting in YoastSEO is correct and I’m not using the WP Super Cache plugin.
2)Also, the third important rule is to do not edit a page which was created with Visual Composer with TD Composer.
Also, I have inspected your website and I saw that you are using some untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknown issues like this.
For more information about how you should use our page builder in correct way on our theme, please check the following useful tutorial here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/
I’m not using Visual Composer either.
And just like I mentioned that I have disabled all the plugins except TD Composer and Woocommerce but the error still exist…
I really don’t know what else I can do.
Should I give your team the access of my site to help on this?
Thank you again.
Hello poporil,
Notice that you should not purchase any kind of plugin or Visual Composer. At the moment, our theme comes bundled with two-page builders which are Visual Composer and Tagdiv Composer which is our own page builder. You can use whatever you want but it’s not recommended to be used together. Please check the following useful manual here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
We recommend to use Visual Composer only on pages, try to not use it on posts. Also why don’t you use tagdiv composer plugin instead V.C. It has a frontend editor – https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
If you still have problems using V.C. please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin access so we can take a closer look. Also paste a link to this topic so we can identify you.
Thanks!
Hi,
Please note that when both Visual composer and tagDiv composer are active, there could be issues. I believe that is the case here. The single images for example have a different implementation in each composer, both will apply which leads to the images not displaying properly. Go to the plugins section and deactivate the tagDiv composer, then check the results on these pages.
Regarding the logo, you could use either of header styles 7 or 8 for a full width logo. Header style 7 will require a small modification, there is a small issue with it. Edit the header template 7 file which looks like this at the moment
– https://www.screencast.com/t/q6iXae9Q
Modify it like this – https://www.screencast.com/t/6JJOmbwoT
The result – https://www.screencast.com/t/HCnQ1okKajW
Sorry for any inconvenience, we will fix the issue in the future update. Header style 8 will not require modifications, it can be used normally.
Please let us know if you need further help.
Thanks
Hi,
Please do not update the Visual composer plugin (if the option is available) until officially supported and included in the theme package
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
When an update is released for Visual composer, we will make the necessary tests, then bundle the updated version in the package. This ensures there will be no problems. Deactivate the current version and delete it if there are problems. Use the version currently included, which is 5.2.1. We will update the theme and plugins as soon as possible.
Thanks
Hello, I have a problem integration on a part of my calendar / event with newspaper.
On the general page of the calendar ( https://bpe.fun/calendrier-des-evenements/ ) I have no problem, but when I want to visualize an event alone, I get this: https://bpe.fun/evenement/cycle-de-conference-bien-etre/
I have been trying for 3 days to do the integration using this link on EventOn ==> http://www.myeventon.com/documentation/customize-single-events-page/ ,
but I can not! Newspaper is much more complex than the basic wordpress theme and I have no knowledge in php code. I just came to you because I tried to ask for help to the creator of EventOn but since I bought the script almost 1 year ago, I have no more support, that’s what answered me …
Could you help me please.
