Can we add this feature, as we used to have in Visual Composer, where we can actually hide columns or rows based on the screen size? Thx!
Hello mmeida,
Notice that you can install both of the page builders to be able to recreate your pages with TD Composer but then, you should disable the Visual Composer because it seems to cause some interferences between them and cause some problems and that’s why I made this above. Notice that our page builder does not have included all the Visual Composer elements and that’s why you cannot recreate some elements with our page builder, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
First of all I really like your ideas with that version and I’m a big fan of your Newspaper-Theme. We startet our new WordPress Setup for our next Magazine with version 8. We detected a couple of issues:
• We tried to style our Startpage with TagDiv Composer. Doesn’t matter witch module we drop into the content we had just a loading circle. After calling for help we got the answer to increase the PHP Memory. Now our PHP Memory is 256 MB and the Problem is still there. We decided to use VisualComposer 5.1.1 again.
• On Startpage (https://handmade-hobby.com/) you see that we introduce our site with module „Homepage Post“. We know that module from our first magazine. In this case the picture is in the background but no Post-Picture in the contend-field.
• With using VC we have some issues in the standard Footer. The posts are missing. Within the blog-posts the footer is ok.
Please help.
Cheers
Alex
Oh I figured out. I used good old Visual Composer and I can use Tabs there.
Closed and thank you 🙂
Hi, Catalin. Thanks for your answer. I am following exactly the steps indicated in the tutorial that you link:
- Step 1 – Install both the Visual Composer and tagDiv Composer plugins.
- Step 2 – The page has to be recreated using the new page builder. You will have to build a new page and edit it with the tagDiv Composer replicating your original page (made with Visual Composer).
- Step 3 – Save the page. Replace your homepage with the newly created one. You can always revert to the original page if you encounter any problems.
As far as I understand, you have to have both plugins installed, so I don’t understand “Please keep in mind that is not recommended to be used both of builders at the same time”.
But on what I was asking, it seems clear that the blocks offered by TD Composer do not correspond entirely with those of Visual Composer and therefore it is not possible to rebuild all the pages that were created with Visual Composer.
Regards.

Hello mmeida,
Please keep in mind that is not recommended to be used both of page builders at the same time because might appears some conflicts between them, sorry! Also, if you want to use our page builder you should recreate your homepage from scratch using the TD Composer. For more information about transitions between these page builders you should consult our useful guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
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. In the future, this feature can be released but unfortunately, we cannot say for sure when exactly this process will be done, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
Thanks Simion:
If TagDiv Composer is the “future” (of what you’ll be supporting), we may want to wait to deactivate it. That is, until you work out the kinks with how TagDiv Composer will treat existing “Pages” created originally using Visual Composer.
Before we make that call, we have a few questions/suggestions that TagDiv / Envato may find useful during this transition:
1) Will you be working on eliminating the automatic height restriction (200 pixels) on “Featured Image” for Pages imposed by TagDiv Composer?
(Yes, we could individually change over 1,000 existing Pages created in Visual Composer – 1 at a time — but that would necessitate a lot of time, money & effort from us…vs. a global change on TagDiv side that probably make common sense.)
2) Will TagDiv Composer eventually allow us to maintain the widgetized sidebars we’ve already placed on our “Pages” using Visual Composer – anytime soon.
(For now, it looks like TagDiv Composer has knocked out our “Page” widgetized sidebars & any revenue-producing banners contained therein.
These are important questions for us to understand b/c:
1) We’ve created over 1,000 “Pages” using Visual Composer defaults.
2) We’ve placed revenue-producing banners within those widgetized sidebars.
(i.e. If TagDiv eliminates pre-existing sidebars & banners long term, we lose revenue.)
I’m guessing since a good # of your Newspaper Theme customers might have created a lot of pages already using Visual Composer, we are not alone with our current dilemma.
Thanks for your help!

Hi. I have updated to Newspaper 8. I have Visual Composer and TD Composer installed. I have cloned a page and started editing it with TD Composer in draft mode. However, I can not find all the blocks I used in Visual Composer, for example the icon button (eye catching icon from libraries). So with TD composer I can not build the page exactly the same as I had it. Am I wrong?
Thanks.
Hi
I configured the Yoast plugin like it is mentioned and tested with the Twitter card validator to check without results. I wrote to Yoast in WP forum and the answer was:
“After reviewing the code for your site, you are outputting multiple copies of the Twitter tags. This can cause problems when sharing content as Twitter will not always pull the data entered in our plugin.
Please disable plugins or theme functions that add Twitter tags. If you are unsure what is adding the additional tags, please run a conflict check following the steps here: How To Check For Plugin Conflicts”
I disabled all the plugins (this disarmed the whole site) and then I enabled only Visual Composer, because without this the site is useless.
Twitter did not work, did not show image when I publish (is no important the preview). I clean the cache and wait several minutes. I re-cleaned the cache, in this way some times.
With this I saw that it is not the responsibility of another plugin, although it could be a “clash” of plugins trying to do the same.
That’s why I decided to write to you again.
It is no longer YOAST SEO or another plugin, and there is something in the template or visual composer that I do not understand what it is.
I need your help again.
Helps to use PHP 5.6 and higher which has opcache built in as good starting point.
WP SuperCache works well for most because you’re loading static pages, which is preferred by “most” hosts as if you have 1,000 domains on a box, if they all use too much memory, not enough memory to run all the sites.
If you have your own server, consider using Varnish;
OR: also nextgen tech like https + PHP 7 + http/2 is the “new way to fly” as the entire page is compressed into one packet, not a bunch of pieces, and THAT gets cached by server.
The main issue with CPU, is to switch to using TD Composer vs Visual Composer. Seriously.
Hi,
You can either use tagDiv composer or Visual composer. When both of these are active in some cases there could be some issues. If you deactivate the tagDiv editor everything should be like before the update for your website, when only the Visual composer was available.
Thanks
Hello,
What happened (it might happen to others) is that after the update I hadn’t read the new features yet of version 8.
So I used the tagdiv composer on a visual composer page which is forbidden according to the tutorial. That’s what happened. That’s why the size wasn’t quite ok. Maybe why also the page takes so much time to open with the tagdiv composer.
Thanks for your help !
Hi,
Please go into the plugins section, and deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin. This editor is activated by default the moment you update the theme.
It may have some influence on pages created in Visual composer simply by being active. Try this suggestion and then check if the images display properly. Maybe clear your cache after deactivating the plugin.
Here you can find more about the new tagDiv front-end composer, and useful information
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Visual composer is still part of the package, and can still be used. But it is worth mentioning that in future updates, more options and features will be added exclusively for the tagDiv composer.
Thanks
Hi Catalin-
I have 1800 pages. Do I need to manually modify the image height on all pages? This is not how the site looked a week ago. Is there a way to automate this process? Please note, we took no action to put a height restriction on our site. Is this something that Newspaper Theme did with it’s most recent update?
Also, we noticed our “Share This” plugin is no longer working on Pages. Is this related to the update.
Also, can we still use visual composer with Newspaper. Is this still part of the theme?
If you can help me understand what our options are moving forward, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi,
That is how the Homepage post element that you are using displays
– https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/homepage-one-top-post/
You can edit the homepage with the composer you used to create it, and remove or add the elements you want. Visual composer if the page is created with this editor, or tagDiv composer if you used this one. Do not use tagDIv composer to edit pages, if the page was created in Visual composer. This may lead to problems

Hi,
If it worked in the previous version it should work in the latest one as well. There is no need to activate Visual composer, it is provided pre-activated in the theme package.
In the previous update the new tagDiv composer was introduced
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
More options and features will be made available only for this front-end editor
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
If you do not want to use the tagDiv composer for your pages, try deactivating it form the plugins section. It is activated by default when you update the theme.
If the issue is still present, also deactivate all your other plugins except Visual composer and clear any installed cache. Then test again.
Thanks
Hello edlie,
Unfortunately, we do not recommend using these both builder plugins simultaneously because might appears some errors, sorry! For more information about this plugin, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello edlie,
Unfortunately, our theme does not have any such a tested layout, sorry! For more information abut how you can right use the VC, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/

Hi,
You could try to manually upload the tagDiv composer editor in the plugins folder. Simply unzip the plugin and upload it to the plugins folder in your wordpress installation by FTP.
You can find more useful related information in this topic

Please let us know if you still have problems installing the tagDiv composer.

There has been nothing but issues with the re-installation of this template/newspaper theme. The WordPress backend/editor is not updating things that I do.
1) For example, if I go to home page, and prepend to any column, add single image, the image uploaded or chosen from the library displays as a much larger size then the image size that was uploaded.
2) On the home page, https://www.delawarenewsline.com, on the left side is a plug in called Zotobox displaying social buttons in the debug/left browser position, yet the plug in is not even displayed in my plug in list.
3) Theme settings>ads> when I put the url of an image, and click save, and refresh my browser, it does not show any image at all.
4) sometimes when i click update on the home page, it takes a really long time to update.
It seems that images displayed on “posts”, that are displayed on the home page displays properly on the home page, but when you try to edit the home page using the Visual composer for images, it does not. I recently purchased the pro version of Visual Composer bakery but not able to validate it because the email used is inactive/no longer exist.
Can you take a look at these issues and see if you can duplicate them and see what needs to be done to fix this?
Hello again,
I’ll explain it better.
A user noticed some problems in iPad 2 visualization.
Last voice of the menu is going on a new row, but also at the elements under the menu have visualization problems and the news are overlapping as you can see from this screen we received from the user: https://ibb.co/dkANNk
Now we would like to know how to proceed as portrait mode is a very common visualization (and iPad is a very common device).
All the test we are making with screen emulators aren’t giving us any problems at all, but
on a iPad 3 we have tested the same problems.
Could we manage the responsiveness of the portrait mode from the Visual Composer?
Do you suggest any other quick solutions?
If needed we can provide you admin access to the production back office and the test back office as well.
Thank you in advance for your attention.
Hello,
Please disable all plugins except the page builder, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also restore the modifications you made to the theme and test it under the default settings.
Please do not use both page builders at the same time as that can cause issues. Please do not use visual composer on posts as well. Visual composer only works on pages.
Thank you!
Hello designrh,
I have inspected your website and I saw that your category pages works as expected, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/30qqC0xWmL Also, I have notice that you are using a lot of untested plugins whihc can interact with the theme core files and causes a lot of unknonw issues. Try to remove all of them, leave just Visual composer to active, clear all the caches and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for the message!
i use visual composer to make
