Ok, so I fixed the cropping issue myself – I grabbed a product photo from the Newspaper theme and put my photos in that dimension.
Issues Not Resolved:
1. Image Resizing in Visual Composer
Another issue is with Visual Composer. When I use the “single image” option and try to apply the size small, medium, full, thumbnail, to the image the image size does NOT change in the post – it stays the same (the full-size image).
2. “Zoom” Functionality Not Working
I followed the instructions on this page https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/woocommerce-product-image/#post-189095 to enable the enable the gallery, zoom, and slide as your team suggested but now when I view the product page the product image is broken – it’s acting like I put my mouse on the image to “zoom” when I didn’t – I just loaded the page!
Here’s a video screenshot showing the behavior:https://www.screencast.com/t/BpvVikxR

Hi There!
I love your theme – you guys did an AMAZING job!
I am, however, having problems with WordPress built-in cropping feature. I think it’s a WP core issue because it’s happening with featured images, product images, and images in post/pages. I believe WP can automatically crop an image without cutting out parts of the image correct?
For example, one of my images is:
https://1m3wnq4dk41o3xjsyg127meb-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Gundo-8413-True-Royal-Triblend.jpg
When WordPress crops the image it looks like this:
https://1m3wnq4dk41o3xjsyg127meb-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Gundo-8413-True-Royal-Triblend-600×600.jpg
See how the top and the bottom of the image is cut off?
Another issue is with Visual Composer. When I use the “single image” option and try to apply the size small, medium, full, thumbnail, to the image the image size does NOT change in the post – it stays the same (the full-size image).
Is there a setting in the theme panel I missed that says to maintain the image or something?
I could really use your help with this as I cannot move forward until this is fixed.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for your quick answer Chris S.
Below I share what I found from the “functions.php” of Papillon templete. I do not know which is the one I should change in the:
STATIC $POST_VIEW_COUNTER_KEY = ‘VIEWS’;
If I change this, and someone visit the post, will it continue counting adding visits to the post?
Below whay I found related with post views:
a)
$post_views = getViews(get_the_ID());
b)
<i class=”fa-clock-o”></i> <span>’ . $post_time . ‘</span> <i class=”fa-eye”></i> <span>’. $post_views.'</span> <i class=”fa-comment-o”></i> <span>’ . $post_comments . ‘</span>
c)
function setViews($postID) {
$count_key = ‘webnus_views’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
$count = 0;
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
}else{
$count++;
update_post_meta($postID, $count_key, $count);
}
return $count; /* so you can show it */
}
function getViews($postID) {
$count_key = ‘webnus_views’;
$count = get_post_meta($postID, $count_key, true);
if($count==”){
$count = 0;
delete_post_meta($postID, $count_key);
add_post_meta($postID, $count_key, ‘0’);
}
return $count; /* so you can show it */
}
Thanks in advance for your help! I am not familiar with web coding… I create it with visual composer because I do not know how to code.
Good evening,
I just changed the theme from Papillon to Newsmag and am facing some problems with the image display in three pages (see links below):
1) http://www.glutenfreeadventures.net/gluten-free-apps/
In the former theme (Papillon), the page was divided in two columns, 1/3 + 2/3 of the page width. The left column (1/3) was for the logos of the apps. The other column (2/3) contained the explanation for each app. As you can see in the link above, when I publish the page, the applications logos appear on top of the text, occupying the full width of the page.
The problem is that when I edit it in my wordpress (with visual composer), they appear in the column division described.
2) http://www.glutenfreeadventures.net/products-with-gluten-and-products-without-gluten/
In this page I am facing the same problem than the page described in point 1) but with smaller pictures and column division (two columns of 1/4 + 3/4).
3) http://www.glutenfreeadventures.net/gluten-free-travel-cards/
In this case, I have an accordeon to display the celiac travel cards in different languages in alphabetical order. As you can see, in the published page, the images appear again in full width, not being possible to see the whole card.
To solve it, I tried to change the page composition putting them in a “media grid” ( http://www.glutenfreeadventures.net/celiac-travel-card-test-1/ ) but then the images do not appear in alphabetic order.
4) Regarding the logotype on top of the website, in the former templete I used to have an image filling the full width of the header. When I try to upload it as a logo, it appears reduced to a very small space. Please, I kindly ask you to help me putting the image in full width at the header? Please, see below a link with the image in a page: http://www.glutenfreeadventures.net/page-show-header-image-want-put/
Looking forward to receive your feedback, in the meantime, I wish you a nice evening!

Hello nycinsider,
Check the system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ Most likely, your PHP memory has exhausted and that’s why you cannot save anything, sorry! Also, try to re-create your homepage from scratch with the TD Composer. For this transition, please check the following useful manual here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Yeah that’s exactly what I wanted to do, but have not been able to find the proper way how to make these changes, so far when I try to make things look same way, it will mess up something else same time. especially when I am trying to add line there.
So I thought that maybe there is a way to ignore visual composer tabs and use theme blocks or something. But with blocks there is no way to use different things in same block like visual composer tabs offering – one shows popularity, one shows some text or html tab, one shows category sorted some way, etc.
In the midst of modifying my site, suddenly, while updating a page, I was unable to see the updated/preview pages, receiving a 503 error instead. That resolved itself over the course of 20 minutes, without any help of my own. However, inside visual composer, I now no longer see my content elements in a graphic form, instead only in code(java & html), just like you can see on in the classic VC interface. The problem is, VC isn’t rendering them on my site, only displaying them in code.
Please assist. And, with respect to tagdiv composer, I’m just not interested in using this version, instead preferring to use VC.
Hi,
I have checked your website and it seems 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.
Thank you!
Hi and sorry.
Can we update to Visual Composer 5.4 if we use theme 8.1?
When theme 8.2 will be released?
Thanks.
Hi,
1. The article title font properties can be customized for each module, in the theme panel font settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/XXSFUVjqM9E
2. There are many Big grids and Full Big grids available, and different styles for each. You can see theme all here in the live demo
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/full-big-grid-1/
If you want to modify certain visual elements on the grid, use the browser inspector to identify the classes used and create custom code
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/create-custom-code-using-the-browsers-inspector/
Thanks
Hi,
The ajax filter used on blocks can filter by categories, authors, tags or popularity
– https://www.screencast.com/t/tTVktITpG
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-guide/
The Visual composer tabs are not related to this filter. The sections you create can only have a custom name and icon. I though you wanted to make the tabs similar to the ajax filter design, that is what the above code does.
Thanks
Hmmm.. In that case, is there any other ways to use theme or visual composer options to use something similar from the left side? Things what you see left side, when I looked through I was able to see that only things I can use there is categories. But maybe I missed something somewhere and there is actually possible to use popular posts and other things too?
Hi,
That is the ajax filter on a block and the tabs Visual composer element, they are not related and do not supposed to display the same. You could inspect the tabs and the filter and see what CSS each one uses, maybe style the tabs differently. Something like this example maybe
– https://www.screencast.com/t/eDyd9mVO
This the code used in the example if it is useful to you
.vc_tta-title-text {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
color: #777;
line-height: 1;
}
.vc_tta-color-grey.vc_tta-style-modern .vc_tta-tab>a {
border: none!important;
background: transparent!important;
}
.vc_tta-tab.vc_active span {
color: #4db2ec!important;
}
Thanks
Hi,
That is happening because of this custom code
– https://www.screencast.com/t/A31dvsUVd
I assume you want to set a margin top for the website, in order for the background ad to be displayed above it. Remove that code and enter this one
.td-header-wrap {
margin-top: 249px;
}
The result will be the same visually, but the background ad can be clicked in the created margin. Test this code and see how it goes.
Thanks
Hello Style31,
Yes, our theme will continue to support the Visual Composer. Notice that our 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.
For more information about right using of TD Composer and transition between these both page builders, please check the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
As you probably know, our page builder is much restrictive (regarding on layouts) than Visual Composer because in that way we can easily handle the performances which can be achieved with our product. If your entire theme has been created exclusively with Visual Composer and if your elements used on your website does not exist in TD Composer you should use VC.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I just came online today and wanted to edit one post, then i saw that TD Composer is not available for editing and Visual Composer is not working right, because it only lets me add 3 elements to the post. This is why I cant edit a Post right now or create a new one. What ever it is, please fix it or help me to solve this problem.
Hello NerdOmegaPrime,
It’s not necessary to activate the Visual Composer because this plugin comes bundled with the theme and the license for it is included in theme’s packet.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have tested the row background color on a text element like you mention
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ZOjdgfzGQEdC
The background color is applied properly
– https://www.screencast.com/t/O5ZYhxklTDB
Setting a background on the text element itself works as well
– https://www.screencast.com/t/zGHS2avUHBL
– https://www.screencast.com/t/1TkFe2jE
I used the Visual composer provided in the theme package in the tests.
Thanks
Hello ablascob,
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/
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 incorrect 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/
Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi, I’ve a (big) problem with featured articles images. Sometimes they disappear and the homepage loses its arrangement. Each time I have to upload again the featured article images.
I use the free version of Newspaper template and free Visual Composer.
Thanks
Hi,
When you updated the theme to the latest version, the tagDiv composer was automatically activated
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
This composer can cause Visual composer elements or features to not work properly, so you can try to deactivate it and check the results with the hidden blocks.
The mobile theme seems to be working at the moment, I see no problem with it

Hello –
I have finally converted all my pages over to use the TagDiv page designer, I have deactivated the Visual Composer plugin, however, is it safe to delete the plugin?
Thanks
Hi,
The theme is fully compatible with Visual composer, as it is provided in the theme package. Try to think of recent changes made, maybe something has auto-updated and is now causing issues. Use only the Visual composer included in the theme package, or do not update this plugin directly from the author if you have this option (purchased plugin)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Try deactivating all plugins except theme plugins, and see if this has any effect. The Visual composer version currently included with the theme is 5.2.1.
Thanks
Hi
After months with everything allright, suddenly Visual composer decides not to work. He gets stucks and impossible to use it. Anyone knows about that ? Thanks a lot, It’s quite urgent, I’ve several web with the same problem.
Hi,
You should use either tagDiv composer or Visual composer. Do not edit pages created in one of the composers, with the other. The tagDiv composer will automatically be installed and activated when the theme is installed or updated
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Visual composer has to be installed manually however
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Both will be displayed in the page editing backend
– https://www.screencast.com/t/TlpXziDMKGQ
Only tagDiv composer will be added in the admin bar
– https://www.screencast.com/t/VRvsIOkR
Worth mentioning that future theme updates will include many more features for the tagDiv composer exclusively.
Thanks
