Hi,
The blocks that are used when creating a page in Visual composer contain different modules. Here you can see the thumbnail sizes for each of these modules – https://forum.tagdiv.com/theme-thumbs/
Also on the theme demo you can see all the blocks and Big grids available – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/block-1/ – https://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/big-grid-1/
These elements are specially designed and come predefined within the theme, it would not be easy to change their properties, and multiple factors have to be taken into account if you want to try and modify them.
Thanks
Might adjust Padding, Margins (may need to use negative margins) – you can get the options from Design Options on Visual Composer popup – last tab.
I am not a coding expert, so I can best play with margins and put things over one another.
Hello there, I’ve updated the theme from 4.6 to 7.8.

Please, can you help me to solve this issue?
Thanks.
welcome to WordPress. FYI, most complex themes use custom classes (e.g., td_) for custom code, custom plugins, and custom CSS to extend Visual Composer; this is partly to keep things organized for developers and also to minimize “collisions” with other theme developers. Most plugin devs do this also, whether it’s Yoast, Advanced Custom Fields (eg., “acf_blah”), etc.
Doesn’t it make sense if the theme has a custom plugin, custom menus, etc. that are intended for its own theme, to use custom classes?
You can use a proper programmer editor to do full search/replace in ALL files but no way to do this by hand, and also it means you won’t be able to do updates to theme without redoing all the changes.
Most savvy webdev folk can “figure out” which theme you use without too much trouble, so you’re not really hiding that from anybody except newbies looking at source code. “real devs” can easily deduce which theme it is.
Hello,
I understand that you receive a lot of support requests and you probably skim read most postings, however, I have tried very hard to do my due diligence in troubleshooting this problem. I am sending the login credentials for the website.
1) As per my post on March 23 “However, if I create a new post and embed the same Instagram post, the Instagram post and not the URL may appear.” I would expect that your test would display the social media posts. Because if I use the same social media post in a new WordPress post, it displays.
2) You wrote on March 27 “The suggestion to disable the plugins was to double check that that plugins are not causing this, since the links seem to work and display properly on my end.“.
I had already wrote on March 23 “I have disabled all plugins.“. I had also disabled Visual Composer to test for a conflict there.
As you stated on March 27, Visual Composer has no effect on the post page, so your statement on March 24 “ Also please install the Visual composer plugin as it is an essential and required in the proper functionality of the theme” implies the problem might be related to Visual Composer. If that was not your intent, then your statement is completely irrelevant to the problem because as you stated, it has no effect on the post page.
Again, this is a dev version of the website for testing. We are using Visual Composer on the live website but we cannot easily isolate the problem with plugins activated.
3) You state on March 27 “After a search on the internet it seems that other people are having this issue with some of the embeds – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-embed-not-working-anymore-after-451-update/ and it could be a hosting issue.”
However, I stated on March 23 “Switching to 2016 theme solves the problem instantly.”
How is this a WordPress update issue or a hosting issue if the problem is solved by changing from the Newspaper theme to the 2016 theme? And then the problem re-occurs when switching back to the Newspaper theme? Also, did you read the thread YOU linked? It is for a near isolated incident with WordPress 4.5.1 that was resolved with WordPress 4.5.2. How was that supposed to be beneficial to my scenario considering embed work perfectly fine with the default theme activated?
So, let me restate.
Server software Apache/2.4.25 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2g
PHP Version 7.0.17
post_max_size 50M
max_execution_time 600
max_input_vars 5000
WP version 4.7.3
WP multisite enabled No
WP Language es_ES
WP Memory Limit 512 MB/request
Theme Newspaper
Theme version 7.7.1
Theme database version 7.7.1
Visual Composer 5.1
All required plugins (Visual Composer) are currently active. NO other plugins are active. Three themes are installed. Newspaper, Newspaper Child, and 2016. Newspaper (not Newspaper Child) is the current active theme.
With this setup, some social media embed are not embedding.
Switching to 2016 theme and reloading the same page, all social media embed work properly.
Switching back to Newspaper theme, same social media embeds are not working again. Those same social media embeds will work properly if reposted in a new post.
This information combined with all of the other information provided above should clearly explain the problem. I have completely isolated the problem down to the Newspaper theme. It is possible that the Newspaper theme could have a conflict with the hosting environment, however, I have posted my environment information above and I believe that it meets or exceeds all recommendations. Like I also stated above, I am not receiving any errors or noticies alerting me to any problems.
If you have any questions or suggestions that have not already be answered or attempted, please let me know. I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible as it does impact our readership.
Thank you,
Hi,
Seems to be an WordPress warning, a suggestion would be to go back through any changes recently made to the theme files or WordPress if you have made any. You could also try to deactivate the child theme if you are using one. Also try disabling all your plugins except Visual composer, clear your cache and check to see if the login issue is still there. Probably this is caused by a plugin or custom modifications, since we did not have any kind of reports with the login, providing this warning. Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks
Hello HeTo25,
I have inspected your website and I did not saw any problems with tag div gallery. Seems to work as expected. Where is the problem? Provide more details about this issue, also, give me some useful screenshots so I will be able to identify the errors. If you are using some untested plugins, try to disable all of them, leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme core file and rule out any conflicting plugins.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
There seems to be an issue with the demo install process at the moment, and we are currently investigating this issue. If in the future you decide to uninstall a demo or use another one instead, all the dummy content will be removed, so it would be best that you do not edit this content, and use your own content. Periodical website backups are also helpful and should be made.
Basically what a demo does is to use a predefined layout and populate it with content, so you can get an idea about what can be achieved using the theme. All the demo content in located in the theme folder – https://www.screencast.com/t/wxthH5w0q2 and you could use elements from them (homepage, theme panel settings, stylesheet etc) to create your website without actually installing it, if that is what you want.
You could always create your own pages using elements from Visual composer and uniquely personalize them the way you want. Or use one of the available Visual composer page templates – https://www.screencast.com/t/WLELbX1q
The child theme version in the stylesheet does not affect it’s functionality.
Thank you for understanding!
Hi,
Please install the Visual composer plugin provided in the theme package – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ because this is an essential plugin for the functionality of the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks
Hello,
This could be a plugin conflict so 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 functionality of the theme.
Thank you!

Hello InspireORB,
It seems that your Visual Composer is not right installed or also, maybe you do not use the latest version for this plugin. To be safe, try to make a new clean install from scratch via FTP way and install only the plugins from the packet. Also, check your system status parameters to be increased according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
For more information about how you can update the Visual Composer, please check here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Please use this guide to update the plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/

Hi,
I have made some tests using some of the links from your pages – https://www.screencast.com/t/uipxGGdlf1Z – https://www.screencast.com/t/TK5L5zaHa and inserted them in a new post and older posts, but failed to recreate this problem you are having. The suggestion to disable the plugins was to double check that that plugins are not causing this, since the links seem to work and display properly on my end.
Visual composer has no effect on this that is true, but I saw that you do not have it activated and I simply suggested that you activate it. You can choose to not use this plugin if you wish.
After a search on the internet it seems that other people are having this issue with some of the embeds – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/youtube-embed-not-working-anymore-after-451-update/ and it could be a hosting issue.
Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide admin login information, so we can take a look and try to give you a solution for this. Also paste a link to this topic for identification purposes.
Thank you for understanding!
Hello dr_vibe,
1)Please notice that our theme has a large list of header styles which can be chosen from Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/uu2ku7aWYs We have some header styles which uses the logo in full width. For more information about our Header Styles, you should consult our useful guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-header-styles/
2)If you are using the using the header styles which uses the logo in full width, you should use a larger size for your site logo for better results. The size for your banner ad is 728*90 px as you can see in our documentation.
3)If you want to have the latest version of Visual Composer, tested with our theme, yo should download the latest theme packet from Theme Forest because the Visual Composer come bundled with the theme core packet and you must not buy any license for this plugin. For more information about how you can update your Visual Composer, please consult our useful guide here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your understanding!
You can’t use styles inline in modern HTML… even though WordPress encouraged it with the built-in visual editor for centering text for paragraphs or other elements.
e.g.
wrong = <h2 style="align:center">Text</h2>
correct = <h2 class="center-text">Text</h2>
You will need to google many of the articles of the past couple of years on how to optimize WordPress for AMP as styles you’ve used in posts, not part of theme.
Some IMG classes might need to be fixed depending on how used.
It seems as if I activate the mobile theme, I am able to get the mobile menu to work. I can change menu option from mobile theme-settings in the admin panel (and from the checkbox in the menu settings).
I want to use sliders and some other plugin features on the mobile version site, so it would be best if I could have an identical version as the desktop version. But what seems really strange is that when I deactivate the mobile theme the menu doesn’t slide out. The page just zooms out as before. All plugins except visual composer is deactivated.

Hi tagdiv community…
I have hit a slight issue within the add new element > block section in visual composer.
Basically the image that displays what each block option would look like is not displaying, which makes choosing what block I want to use a bit hit and miss. (see attached image link)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Gk1ZDZ_J2uLW5yOVNqOTNfdkE/view?usp=sharing
Have no idea how to resolve this… please help.
Thanks – Rhys
Hello,
I purchased NewsPaper 7 three times. I like this template very much
I have encountered trouble now.
This is the new NewsPaper 7 issue, which is creating a post.
Insert a line in the text in a certain part, or insert a line feed.
Next, make corrections to other parts and check the preview screen.
Then, for some reason, the place that changed first is returned to original.
This is not only a text phenomenon.
For example:
I used Visual Composer and created several text blocks.
Next, fix or add another part.
Then preview or save.
Next, check the update screen.
Then, for some reason, the final corrected part will be reflected normally, but the part that was modified first will either return to its original state or will disappear completely.
– –
I have experienced this phenomenon for the first time in NewsPaper 7’s third use. That was not the second template.
Is there such a change in specification in the latest update?
My guess is, apparently, one of the causes of this problem.
It looks as though Adsense Manager is causing it.
Because Adsense Manager tag. (Simple tag)
Once it is deleted, it will be recovered.
I am very embarrassed by this mysterious phenomenon.
Advice please.

Hello,
I have the Newsmag theme.
I have the following questions:
1. Does this template allow a full width [width of the site] banner at the top of the website? If yes, how do we set it to? We are only finding a way to use a logo.
2. What size should logo be and if yes on banner, what size should the banner be please?
3. I am trying to update the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin. I have version Version 4.12.1 installed. I am been asked to update the plugin to version 5.0.1 ($34 cost) Do I need to do this?
I look forward to your response at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely
Hi,
Visual composer is not working and i have deleted all the plugins and even deleted composer and re-installed it, but the result is still the same.
Can you help me out because the site is now in maintenance mode.

Hello,
The issue is the plugin is not tested with our theme and could provide mixed results. You mention the alt tags are missing. Please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Then test the alt tags with our theme and see if they show up properly.
Thank you!
Here is the system status from the theme page:
Server software Apache/2.4.25 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2g
PHP Version 7.0.17
post_max_size 50M
max_execution_time 600
max_input_vars 5000
WP version 4.7.3
WP multisite enabled No
WP Language es_ES
WP Memory Limit 512 MB/request
Theme version 7.7.1
Theme database version 7.7.1
Visual Composer 5.1
From what I can tell, my system meets all of the required specs and I am running the most recent versions of WordPress, Newspaper Theme, and Visual Composer.
All required plugins are installed and activated (Visual Composer). No other optional plugins are active.
Again, problem is instantly solved by changing to the 2016 theme and instantly resumes if I change back to the Newspaper theme.
It doesn’t appear to matter how I embed the social media post. If I use the embed shortcode or if I just drop in the URL as per the WordPress Embed codex.
This is kind of a big problem for us as the site relies heavily on social media posts.
If I had to guess, the Newspaper theme is running a filter or action on the embeds. I believe this is true based on what I have read in other posts in the forum. My guess is, something in that filter or action is timing out on some social media posts or is failing to recognize the formatting of some URLs and not others (less likely.)
So my questions are.
1) Does the Newspaper theme run a filter or action on embeds or in any way interact with embedded media?
2) If so, where is that code located in the theme?
3) Do you recognize that this is a theme issue and not a plugin / social media issue (since the problem only occurs with the theme activated)?
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
I am sorry but at the moment it seems that the link you provided is not available – https://www.screencast.com/t/Q7MhvdsfM
Here you can find how the theme cropping is done – https://forum.tagdiv.com/featured-image/
If you are having problems with the images on your website, I suggest you disable all your plugins except Visual composer, clear any caching you have installed and check again, because a plugin is almost always responsible for image problems.
Thanks
