Hello,
You cannot get the same look if you use a page you can edit in visual composer as the homepage. Right now you have just a list of your latest posts set up from the wordpress settings. Please use a static page here: https://www.screencast.com/t/AbIQFV8yI and then use this guide to set it up: https://forum.tagdiv.com/homepage-how-to-build-and-set-it/
Thank you!
Hi,
It seems that you have deeply customized the theme and there is no quick solution for this. There are custom settings set on some of the elements of the theme, and custom classes – https://www.screencast.com/t/ZYTUfI1Ctnv You must go over and check these customizations, where you have made them (theme panel or in the theme files) Or if you did not make those changes maybe a plugin could be the cause, so please try to disable all the plugins except Visual composer and the mobile theme, clear cache, purge cdn files and see if the problem is still there. A new theme install should fix this also, just delete the theme and install it again only using the required plugins that come bundled with the theme – https://forum.tagdiv.com/install-via-ftp/
Thanks
Hi,
This could be caused by a plugin or plugin conflict, so try as a test to disable all the plugins except Visual composer, clear your cache and purge cdn files, then check to see if the search is working. If the problem is not there anymore, enable the plugins one at a time to identify the one that is most likely causing this issue.
Thanks
Hi,
It seems you do not have enough posts to populate more articles. Please make sure you filter the block so it has posts to load. Are you sure the filtering you use on your block provides more than the 10 posts shown now?
If this is not the case 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,
Please switch to a wp default theme to see if the issue is still present. Our theme does not impact the content that can or cannot be inserted into a post. It could also be plugin related 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 _pages,
I have inspected your screenshots, and I noticed that you are not right to use the theme layout with Visual Composer. You should look at this screen like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/8c1MIr2Y Also, for more information about how to use Visual Composer, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-use-visual-composer/ Make these changes, clear all your caches, purge all CDN files if you are using the CDN system and check the results.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
You do not have to worry about the Visual composer activation request – https://www.screencast.com/t/IXcTb36k since it is a required plugin for the theme, provided in the theme package, which you can install and use without limitations. Here is a guide to get you started using Visual composer if you would like to read – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thanks
I was trying to minify the CSS on the NewsMag, but noticed that even if I use Autoptimize for creating a single and Minify CSS, the NewsMag is loading a full CSS within the HTML of the front page and the posts. I try even disabling all plugins except Visual Composer and this problem is still there.
This is some kind of redundant code I guess, so how do I get it off?. I scan your code on https://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/ and is certainly very clean of this redundant CSS.
My website: https://www.tekcrispy.com and if you scan the code, the CSS I’m referring to start at the line ~120 of the source code.
Hello Catalin.
I did what you said and got no error, but my elements are still fix width on the center or fixed width on the left. Never full width. There must be some other constraint because when I look with firebug there are elements with fixed width like .td_block_big_grid_4.
If you want you can take a look at the site http://upliftingview.com/ now. The first 2 Visual Composer Elements are set to “stretch row and content” and you will see they have fixed width.
What am I doing wrong? I just used the ThemePanel and Add Page functionality from the back-end.
Thanks and have a nice day,
Robert G.
How would I update my visual composer? My site http://www.cuspmagazine.com won’t allow me to use VC.
THanks
Hello Berbi,
Please keep in mind that the category pages cannot be edited with Visual Composer, sorry! The only control over the category pages is from Theme panel, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/Wq0ZGIfhIk If you want to change the category templates you should do it from the code. So, if you want to display more levels in our theme 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 work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for the message!
Hello unidivers,
Do you are using the Mobile Theme plugin? If you are using this plugin for mobile viewport, this is normal behavior because the Mobile Theme does not recognize the Visual Composer shortcode.
I suppose that you do not understand very good how mobile theme works, right? So, please notice that this theme concept intend to display a Big Grid feature at the top of homepage which shows the posts which are included in Featured category, then will show a text which you added in Mobile Editor in Visual Composer from backend and at the very bottom of the page you will bring the Latest Articles module. Please keep in mind that the Mobile Theme do not recognize the Visual Composer shortcode and that’s why you did not get the demo style for mobile theme. So, for more information about our mobile theme, please check the documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-mobile-theme/ If you are unhappy with this layout, and if you want to have the similar structure with our demo mobile, you will simply turn off the mobile plugin and the theme will be automatically switched to the general responsive mobile mode.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi,
If you are afraid you might accidentally uninstall the demo, an alternative would be to use one of the default predefined homepage templates – https://www.screencast.com/t/zQ4pByWqsP – and take it from there, or you could just create your own pages using Visual composer elements the way you want. I believe that only an administrator role has access to making any theme changes, and there is also a prompt asking if you want to uninstall the demo – https://www.screencast.com/t/BqIypPWO9M so it is not a one click mistake.
Thanks
Hello! 🙂
I updated my website with the latest version of Newspaper and the same for the plugins. But now there is a strange things with thumbnails, they are too small, but only when I use 2 columns on the Visual Composer.
I tried to re-generate these, de-activate/re-activate plugins… Nothing works.
See at the bottom of the home.
And when I use the same block but on 2/3 – 1/3 grid : here.
Here is the website : We Need Cafeine
Any idea?
Thank you!
Hi,
If you are having problems with the thumbnails on blocks, try deactivating all the plugins except Visual composer, and use this guide to regenerate your thumbnails – https://forum.tagdiv.com/thumbnails-fix-strange-looking-images-on-blocks/ Then clear your cache and purge cdn files if you use it.
Thanks
Hello Robert,
If you want to display the full-width your row, you should make your Row from Visual Composer to be the stretch, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/I3dQF2Cr. For more information about how you should use the Visual Composer, please consult here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thanks for the message!
Hi,
Is there someway I can check that the theme updated correctly? After updating I ran the PHP compatibility checker and get incompatibility errors for visual composer and slider revolution. Here’s the notes for Visual Composer:

Hello trakmaster,
Please keep in mind that the Excerpt should have to be applied on your modules used by you and also, the Subtitle will have to be under your title -> https://www.screencast.com/t/7lwBEUZweXfJ If this is not show, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual Composer, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with the theme packet and rule out any conflicting plugins.
Thanks for your understanding!
On creating new pages, the tools to edit ain’t there, and option the use visual composer to build the page isn’t there too.

Hi,
Unfortunately Visual composer is recommended to be used only for building pages and has not been tested regarding it’s functionality on posts – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/ and may not work properly. You could check the theme’s system status and increase the parameters if required using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/ as this could be a cause if the settings are not being saved.
Thank you for understanding
Hi,
The Visual composer editor plugin comes pre-activated, you do not have to activate it to be able to use it. Updates for the theme plugins – https://forum.tagdiv.com/whats-included/ will be provided along with the theme updates. Here is more information related to this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/ Also you can find all the theme documentation here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newspaper-theme-documentation/
Thanks
Hi Catalin,
The eternal problem with the Speed Booster plugin is not how Google interprets/see the code, the problem is in the Speed Booster coding.
Please talk with your developer and look seriously a little closer to the problem because all that warnings are related with the Google fonts implemented in this plugin, “Speed Booster”.
Examples of rendering blocking and when appear:
- since I bought your theme, I remove completely any Google font and never I receive that warning; if I use your default font or any other, yes I receive warnings about render blocking.
- when featured image is disabled for posts
- when blockquote is used in comments
- when the post have too much comments (more than 200)
I hope this information arrives to your developer.
I’ve always used your theme without any other untested plugin (only Yoast Premium, Visual Composer & Speed Booster), not even WP Super Cache.
I have to say that removing the Google font, allways we had 99/100 score (both PC & mobile) into PageSpeed Insights and the site charge in 0,4 sec.
Maybe your developers will implement some default option to disable the Google fonts from the panel settings (I think we are many users that keep asking for this).
¡Thank you and best to all!
Hello,
If the footer is on in the theme panel: https://www.screencast.com/t/K50B42eR and it still does not show up, then it could be a plugin that affects the footer.
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,
This happens if you use the mobile theme though. The mobile theme will; not render all shortcodes as it does not use visual composer. Unfortunately for this you will have to use the standard responsive version of the theme so it can render shortcodes on mobile devices.
Thank you!
