Hi Everyone,
I am having a issue when i try to edit my fronpage. When i try to edit a page, visual composer is not working.
WPBakery Visual Composer verison is: 4.1.2. I saw some post saying use tagDiv Composer instead of visual composer but i dont know how to install it – it does not show up anywehere
Need your guide.
Thanks.
Hi,
You must be using an older version of the theme and also plugins, that version of the Visual composer (now WPBakery page builder) would be a couple of years old.
We introduced the tagDiv composer in version 8.0 of the theme as the new main page builder, please check the changelog at the bottom of this page
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609
Many new features in the theme are only for this composer, not WPBakery.
If you use such an old theme version, there will probably be issues using the theme with latest WordPress as well. It is recommenced and good practice to keep WordPress, the theme and plugins up to date if possible
In the changelog you can see the many new additions, fixes and other changes made in the theme. This is an update guide if you decide to update
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
After you update the tagDiv composer plugin will be activated automatically. As a note, if you update and you used WPBakery on posts, there could be problems with the post layout. Also there could be problems with page elements specific to WPBakery.
If any of these problems are present, it would be best for the moment to deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin.
Thanks
Dear Simion,
Thanks for the explanation. I decided to update my theme (I thought it is updated automatically whenever it is needed). I try to go with “Update the theme automatically” via Envanto market. But, at Envanto Market’s Themes setting i can see “Newspaper Version 8.8.2” but it did not show “Update Available”. Please advice.
That method is not that reliable based on user feedback. Update by the other methods, by WordPress or the most recommended by FTP. In the guide the steps for each method is mentioned.
Be sure to check the Before you update practices, making a backup is a good thing to do before making any major changes to the website.
Hello again,
I have followed the instructions and update the theme. I have re-build my entire website. But i am having really big problem right now. If i am on wp-admin mode, everything looks as it supposed to be. But when i log off and look into to the website, everything seems mixed up! Your urgent help is needed!
my website is: http://dizi-mania.com/
Hi,
For me it looks like this currently

What exactly is mixed up? I could take a look if you could mention where I should check. From what I can see there would be no problem with the website.
