Hello Eeroshi,
Please notice that if you are using the latest theme version you can use the Visual COmposer as page builder without problems, please do not wrong understand. The latest theme version will be bundled with our page builder and by default, this plugin will be installed but if you do not like it, you simply disable it and enable the Visual Composer. Also, if you want an older version of Newspaper, you should contact us via email at contact@tagdiv.com and we will provide the theme version desired.
please notice that our theme is in continuous development and if you will not have the latest theme version, probably you will bring some errors and we will not provide an accurate technical support for older theme version, sorry! Notice that all the time you should adapt with the latest versions of everything if you want to bring good results.
Maybe the following useful guide will help you for taking your decision -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Thanks for your understanding!
You don’t have to use TD Composer; you can keep using Visual Composer if you wish.
TDC is not a 1:1 replacement for VC. You would need to redo your layout for home page or custom page with TDC if you choose to use that instead.
Can’t you use normal HTML/CSS3/HTML5 tables?
You might be able to add CSS for the table classes you’re using.
(I don’t work here; just food for thought.)
My site – AjijicToday.com was created with the TopNews theme which I have had a number of issues with. After much research I bought the Newspaper 8 theme. I imported the demo without the content as instructed and now I’m trying to revise my pages, but I am really struggling. I’ve read forum posts and the documentation but I’m still lost. I’m trying to use the Visual Composer to add elements to mirror the ones I had on the pages, but even though I save the edits, when I preview the page there’s nothing there. All I see is code from the previous theme. Really appreciate any help to get me started because I think this theme is going to be awesome.
Hello,
For some time now I have been using the Newspaper theme, but with the implementation of TagDiv Composer some Visual Composer functions do not work properly, as for some reason it failed to recognize in the construction of the pages the specific “blocks” of the theme.
This “small” problem does not allow me to modify my pages in relation to the drawing, since due to lack of functionality in the construction and management of tables in TagDiv Composer, I can not migrate my page from Visual Composer.
The question is … Will any function be incorporated into TagDiv Composer to manage and create tables? Or, is there any way to visually map in Visual Composer again the theme blocks?
Hello guys,
I recently updated my WordPress Theme Newspaper 7 to Newspaper 8, but I really don’t like this new update. For me, Visual Composer is way better than TagDiv Composer, as there are a lot more things we can do and it’s easier to use.
So, is there a way I can get back to Newspaper 7 ?
Thanks,
Hello,
1) No, you do not need to purchase anything. Visual composer is already provided free of charge with our theme. Simply ignore the message as you already have the full version of the plugin.
We recommend using td composer if you are starting fresh though as it is the recommended choice.
2)The page is probably whie because you did not add any content to it. Please try to drag some elements to the page.
Thanks.
Hi,
If you updated the theme, please go to the plugins section and deactivate the tagDiv composer. This is activated by default when the theme is updated to the latest version, or installed for the first time
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Everything should display like before the update, after that. Having both editors active could lead to some Visual composer elements or settings not functioning properly. Editing Visual composer pages with the tagDiv composer is not recommended as well.
It is always best to make full backups before updating themes, as mentioned here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
This is useful in case something goes wrong.
Thanks
Where exactly do I find the settings for the default blockquote style? The default on Newsmag is this giant, blue, centered, all-caps thing. I’ve managed to change it for display on the site itself, but it’s still coming up in the Visual Editor when I’m writing/editing. It’s a huge distraction and makes the visual editor more or less useless.
Do I change a child theme stylesheet? The main stylesheet? Add some code somewhere else? Deactivate TinyMCE somehow?
Help please!
WHY NOT ROLL BACK TO PRIOR VERSION WHILE LEARNING TO TRANSITION TO NEW VERSION?
ANY MAJOR THEME UPGRADE IS LIKE INSTALLING A NEW THEME; IT IS NOT JUST A BUG/FEATURE UPDATE. RTFM BEFORE UPGRADING THEMES TO MAJOR VERSIONS; DON’T UPGRADE THEMES DURING MISSION CRITICAL AD CAMPAIGNS.
DONT USE VISUAL COMPOSER AND TD COMPOSER AT SAME TIME.
YOU MAY NEED TO RECREATE YOUR LANDING PAGE WITH NEW SETTINGS, IF USING THE NEW VERSION OR CHOOSING TO MOVE TO TD COMPOSER VS VISUAL COMPOSER.

Hello oasisrodriguez,
Please notice that our page builder does not cause any problems if it will be correctly used on your website. First of all, before using it, please consult the following documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
Also, for further investigations, please provide your website URL.
Thanks for your message!
Hi Again,
After searching the forum a little more I discovered this code:
'category__not_in' => '2',
and
'category__not_in' =>array(category id goes here),
which seams to be working for most people.
Unfortunately, neither of the two options seem to be working for me.
My site is currently running on Newspaper 8 ver 1.0 and does not use Visual Composer, only TagDiv Composer.
Could you please point me in the right direction…
Thanks.
Hi everyone –
A newbie here, and searched a couple of times in the forums, but couldn’t find the answer.
I just installed Newsmag on my site and love it so far. But running into a persistent problem neither I nor my theme installer person can fix.
The issue is that the default treatment of certain styles — specifically, the blockquote style. The default styling is large, centered, and colored text. We see it here in the forums. I changed that via CSS stylesheets to something I can use. So everything is fine on the front-end.
The problem now is that when I’m writing or editing a post (NOT A PAGE, a POST, so Visual Composer or tD composer are not involved), the blockquote style behaves as it did before the CSS changes.
So the question is, how do we either make the visual editor inherit the CSS styles from the frontend, or change the default theme styles so that both the backend post editor (TinyMCE?) and the frontend website use the same styles?
We already know about the font handling in the theme, which is wonderful. But those don’t cover the default styles (again, the best example is the “blockquote” style).
Thank you
Hi Catalin. Thank you so much for your support. I investigated and I:
– installed a fresh WP
– reinstalled theme and child theme
– reinstalled and activated all plugins
All was normal until here.
So I checked all values in wp_options and I finally found that the value for the key “wp_user_roles” was not the default/right/working one.
So I restored values in this key and everything is OK now.
I don’t know why this happened: maybe some active (or inactive or deleted) plugin changed that value with a “wrong” one.
Anyway I think the behavior of Visual Composer was not correct, because I was able to change a page content WITHOUT permission with the front-end editor, while there was no native “edit” link, and the normal edit backend was not accessible at all.
Maybe there is some capability not well-checked by Visual Editor? Maybe it activated its front-end editor despite lack of permission, picking up a wrong value from db?
This is the link with all my “buggy” wp_user_roles field value:
https://pastebin.com/xSib7x37
Maybe you can find out what rule allowed an author to modify other’s page content.
Thank you

Hello flicker,
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.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi, today, visual composer doesn’t work with TDcomposer! I do not understand the problem!
and does not appear the TD blocks in VC!
Here the screenshot:
Hello cobelfret,
1)First of all, please provide your website so I can take a closer look at your footer section. About what kind of widgets do you are referring? Provide more details/screenshots so I can saw the problem.
2)Notice that we do not recommend using the both plugins to be active at the same time because might appears some errors in the theme, sorry! For more information about our page builder and transitions between these two plugins, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/ -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
3)Notice that TD Composer has not been designed to be used for post pages but only for pages, sorry!
4)I guess that you are referring to this Weather Strings -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSRYDLJkqe0&feature=youtu.be? Notice that translations come from WordPress and not from our theme, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Hi, Catalin. Unfortunately that’s NOT how it works, I deleted the entire theme as a test, then downloaded v. 8 and installed. Before I even looked at my home page, I immediately disabled the TagDiv Composer plugin, and then went to my home page, which was gone. So in spite of what you are insisting, I cannot use Visual Composer for my site and must use the new TagDiv composer, which is why I was voicing my complaints before, so I will ask this as a question: How do I continue to use Visual Composer for my site and NOT use TagDiv Composer at all?
Hi
I come from another theme and have installed Newspaper. I am very happy to have started to change to Newspaper but have a few issues that I am not sure if it is normal behaviour or not:
1. In the footer there are old widgets that I cannot address or change.
2. Visual Composer: “Disable Row” does not work, Single Image Lightbox does not work, Single Image Styles (3D shadow…) are not working.
3. Tag Div Composer: Starts but it is not possible to save a post created by tag Div composer.
4. Weather Widget: The Translation of this great plugin into German is correct (cannot be changed by theme panel), but upper and lowercase (A/a) is not correct because all words are written capitalized. I could provide you the correct version, if it would help you. Just let me know.
Many many thanks in advance!
Andy
Hi,
If you do not have the latest version of the theme (Newspaper 8), then you do not have to worry about the tagDiv composer. Something else has caused this. Try to deactivate all your other plugins except the Visual composer editor, clear any caching installed and check if the problem is fixed.
You could also deactivate and remove the Visual composer from the plugins section, and install it again from your theme package
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hi,
That is the option to limit the posts number displayed in a block, in Visual composer
– https://www.screencast.com/t/ytAMNjvrLeSd
Here you can see how all the block look in different layout situations
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/
The recommended layout to be used when creating a page regardless of page editor used, is a maximum of three columns
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
This will ensure that the blocks and other elements will display with the best results. Using a different row setting, like a four column could cause problems. I am sure you can find a row/column and block combination that you can use, while taking these recommendations in count.
Thanks
The tagdiv composer will not work on posts. Mentioning somebody uses tagdiv composer on all their sites, does not mean it’s being used on posts. The tagdiv composer only works on pages. Visual composer as well, was never meant to be used on posts in our theme as this guide specifies: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thanks.
Hello dr_vibe,
Do you not have the Trending Now element in Visual Composer like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/3l82YbBMkL? If not, I suggest you make a full backup to your database and then you should remove the old version and install the latest theme version which can be downloaded from Theme Forest. Ensure that update will be made via FTP way because this is the surest theme method in this regard.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
I deleted the JS composer plugin from the web directory. then I downloaded all files and documentation for newspaper theme from envato and went through the process of installing the js composer plugin shown here https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/. when you activate the plug in don;t choose to update.
Thank you, Catalin. Maybe I am not understanding the documentation fully, but NOWHERE does it say that I can immediately disable the TagDiv Composer and just use VC, it seems to imply that we no choice but to start with a broken home page, fix that, fix the other VC-based pages, then disable VC and start using the new composer. I wish you had made that clearer, like maybe this:
IF YOU WANT TO STILL USE VISUAL COMPOSER
Note that Newspaper 8 does NOT require the new TagDiv Composer to work. If you want to continue to use Visual Composer as before, simply disable the new TagDiv Composer as soon as you activate the new theme, and leave Visual Composer enabled. Your home page will no longer be broken, and you will not need to rebuild that or any other of your pages.
Is that a fair description of the process? Again, my apologies for misunderstanding but I could not find the above procedure documented anywhere on the site.
