- TutorialsHow to Update the WPBakery Page Builder plugin
Hello whiten67,
Please notice that if you were updated your theme to the latest version of it, the Visual Composer was replaced with our page builder which is TD Composer and most likely, that’s why you bring some shortcodes or HTML code through you homepage because the TD Composer does not recognize all the shortcodes of Visual Composer. Also, 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/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If you would like to display the page title on top of the page, select the Page builder with title in the page attributes settings
– https://www.screencast.com/t/RyzHyLI7TN
The breadcrumbs should be displayed if they are enabled in the theme panel
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/breadcrumbs/
Please do not edit pages that are created with Visual composer or that have Visual composer elements inside them, with the tagDiv composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
This may result in damaged pages, or layout issues. If you decided to use Visual composer, then deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin.
It is worth mentioning that more elements and options will be added to the tagDiv composer exclusively in future updates.
Thanks
Hello Hemal,
Sorry for this but please notice that our theme has not been designed to use 4 columns as layout, sorry! If you want to achieve this layout you should implement it yourself through hard coding and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry! Notice that you should adjust the entire theme because it was not be designed for this type of layout, sorry!
Another alternative for you would be to use the Visual Composer for 4 columns but you will notice that the theme layout will be spoiled and it should be adjusted for a better result, task which involve such a more custom work, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello monoazulweb,
Sorry for this inconvenience but please notice that our page builder does not have these features to be available, sorry! If you do not like our page builder, please do not use it, sorry! Notice that TD Composer does not have all shortcodes which Visual Composer has. Also, 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.

Hi,
First of all please check the theme system status and make modifications to the parameters mentioned in this guide, if necessary
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Then deactivate all other plugins except the ones provided with the theme (install the latest version of the plugins from the theme package) and clear any caching installed.
Then create a new page and try to edit it with the tagDiv composer. Do not edit page previously created with the Visual composer. If you installed a demo, use tagDiv composer to edit the homepage. Open the page and make the modifications you want.
Here is a guide that will be helpful to understand how you can modify the elements on the page using the composer
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Also a tutorial about the block settings and options
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/block-settings-tutorial/
Please let us know if you still have problems using this page editor.
Thanks
Hello nopawel,
First of all, please ensure that you have correctly installed the theme via FTP way, all the system status parameters are increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ and then, please make sure that you respected the following steps regarding on using TD Composer as the main page builder, according to our useful guides here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks for the message!
Hello Torsten,
First of all, I will thank you for your interests in our theme and also, thanks for your appreciations for our hard working.
Unfortunately, please keep in mind that our TD Composer was not been designed to be used for posts but only for pages, sorry! As you can see, we have a lot of post templates which are available for using when you edit your post. Regarding on Visual Composer, notice that plugin can be used for post pages but it is not tested in this case because it can break the theme, sorry.
For more information about our post templates, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-post-templates/
Thank you very much for your understanding!
Hi,
Whenever I use the front-end editor, all of the rows I create end up as textblocks once I have saved.
Will I have to edit backend to stop this. I also have visual composer backend – will this cause any issues?
Thanks
I must admit, that I love the idea of the tagdiv composer! And I’m absolutely sure, that you spent months of hard work to get it live … This is – of course awesome!
But I think, that there must be a chance of a 100 % compatibilty for existing content. Or lets say 95 % … Staying fair 😉 …
As the visual composter – in it’s idea is not just meant as a pagebuilder – and a lot ouf us have it in hevy use for postings – I was pretty sure, that you have thought of this.
I will be very happy – if I would be able to uninstall this “monster of code” someday … But I need to clarify how to – not destroy – my very important content wihin our posts.
Again – absolutely warm regards! 🙂

Hi there Tagdiv-Team,
as the new tagdiv Composer now is an officially part of the Newsmag Theme, there are some questions left for me.
As I cannot see an option to use it for posts, it does not seem to be meant for it. Is this planned in future?
Second question: The raw html feature does not include the possibility to insert javascript and php inserts – is that correct?
Third question: if there is no support for posts and articles planned – why is it recommended to just use one of the pagebuilding plugins? There are SOOO many posts – in which I have used parts of the visual composer – for example to insert video codes including ads (javascript) – or for example colurful news-boxes. All these features would be lost, if I simply uninstall the visual composer.
I have built a serious magazine within the last few years. With nearly 3500 posts and pages – some of them are kinda heavy work to edit …
So – lets face it: As of the implemetation of the tagdiv Composer – I should use it – and uninstall the visual composer. To still get things running as they are right now – I would – kinda sure need some extra plugins, which are (very sure) not supported by the theme. What would you think – if you would be a longterm customer of your themes? It sounds like a nightmare of extra-work … 🙁
Best and warmest regards
Torsten
Hi MESOTU,
thats because you have updated to Visual Composer 5.2. Delete this plugin version and charge the older one, in my website is working the 5.0 and till the developers doesnt fix this problem i will dont update the plugin.
Hope this information is usefull for you.

Hello,
I’m trying to change from VisualComposer to TagDiv Composer. Though I’ve got two problems:
1. My MacBook 15” seems to have a too small screen as some of the options in the Add Elements column are hidden on the right – and on the left of the screen as well. Do I need to use a bigger screen to use this composer?
2. I can’t save any text block with TagDiv Composer. When I add a text block the WP Editor don’t show any save button at all and no matter what I do my added text can’t be saved. Do you know what’s wrong? I’ve tried disabling ALL plugins, I’ve tried to switch to the main theme (and not use my child theme). But it still doesn’t work as I then get the error message “Errors happened during tdcIframeData.init()”.
Do you know what’s wrong?

Hello myglobalnews,
1)The Trending Now string can be changed from Translations section in Theme Panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/pTqsDppNa
2)If you want to use the Revolution Slider on the page, notice that you can add it from Visual Composer and TD Composer where you want on the page, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/
3)Sorry for this, but notice that our theme does not have any such n option that allows you to place your logo in the middle section, sorry! If you want to achieve this you should implement it yourself because we cannot provide custom services, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi TagDiv Team,
I’ve been your customer for 3 years. I’ve always like this theme, but I think it lacks something very important: Post customization
It’s good that you guys focus on visual appearance of theme, but post is an important area. To make the post interesting, we should be able to user different attention grabbing boxes, tables, impressive pros and cons tables product reviews, and so on. Take a look at this page for example: thankyourskin.com/how-to-get-rid-of-acne/ (notice boxes like ‘key takeaways’, ‘information box’, another boxes with built-in CSS and so on) and this: 10beasts.com/best-wireless-earbuds/ (they use thrivetheme and they offer built-in post customization options with custom tables, navigations, pros and cons.)
It would be great if you guys can build these and focus on post elements options. For posts like reviews, buying guides, these elements are very important. Visually appealing post also increases visitor’s average time on site. I hope you consider this in the upcoming updates.
Thank you!
Today I updated from 7.8 to Newspaper 8.0 and ran into a lot of problems which costs me a lot of time.
The problems are related to td composer and visual composer.
Followed the guide and instructions but it’s not working properly and is not userfriendly.
After the update there was showing a widget with title contents in my sidebar, strangly though it was not showing as a widget in the customizer.
– Big Grid gets glued to a block when changing row layout.
– When I add a block and want to remove it later I get this error:
Errors happened during tdcIFrameData.TdcLiveView -> customRender!.
– When switching to Visual composer and adding a block to the homepage the block-title is not showing.
Glad I made a backup. I’m switching back to version 7.8.
Such a shame. Never had problems before with template updates.
Would this potentially be caused by having both TD Composer and Visual Composer both activated at the same time?

Hello sergiocosta,
Please roll back to the 5.1 version of Visual Composer because of the 5.2 version is not yet tested with the theme and might appears some errors. Clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks.
Hi,
Please revert the visual composer version to version 5.1.1. We have not yet released the new version and have not yet made the proper implementation for the new version of visual composer. Please read this topic: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/visual-composer-update-21/
If you updated the plugin and edited a page pressing the update button, then that page must be re-created as it will not revert back to the original.
We only recommend using the visual composer provided by us in the theme package, not the one provided by the plugin author as we need to adapt the theme to the new code. Updating without our intervention can cause incompatibilities such as the one you are facing now.
Thanks
Hi,
Try the suggestion that Chris has provided and manually upload the plugin in the WordPress plugins folder. Unzip the plugin and upload it.

Hi,
Please try to deactivate the tagDiv composer from the plugins section. This might affect the Visual composer elements.
The check if the text columns are displaying properly.
Also worth mentioning that you should use only the recommended row layouts when building pages with either composers

Hello LulioSr,
Please ensure that you are using the latest theme version of the theme without any untested plugins which can interact with the theme core files and cause a lot of unknown issues. So, if you are using our latest theme version, we have introduced our page builder which is TD Composer and that is not recommended to be used in parallel with Visual Composer because might appear some issues. For more information about using this, please check the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial-2/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
I am trying to add a single image block and it is not working to resize the image. I have fixed the Visual Composer mix up as best I could over the last while but had to rebuild all the main pages. The TagDiv composer is not available to build the post pages, so I have left Visual Composer on to do this.
When I add certain elements the size and height are stuck at a certain size. It mostly happens with the single image block but is happening with image carousel aswell sometimes. Could you help me out please?
Thanks,
Gordo
Hi there,
I am having some issues with images and I hope that you can help me! I am not able to put to images side by side on blog posts. I tried to put one align left and than the other one, tried both at same time, tried one than the other no align, I tried everything and I just need to have two or more images. I don’t want to use visual composer in the articles. Can you help me?
A another thing is that I am trying to put a image on my home and it is cropping.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
Like many people here reading the forums it would seem that I made the mistake and updated Visual Composer to version 5.2 which is clear has caused a lot of problems as you know. I followed your advice and deleted 5.2 and re-installed 5.1.1 from the Theme however all the problems are essentially still there.
Is there a current solution to this as I have many pages impacted and I’m not quite sure what to do?
I use the W3 Total Cache, It works great with the theme, I’ve never had problem with W3 Total Cache.
The theme works like an airplane, very fast!!!!!
But the problem is not from the cache plugin
Today I will find out what is causing this problem
I’ll post the possible problem here.
… if I can solve it, of course!
But, If I can not solve the problem, I will continue using Visual Composer!
