I just purchased the newspaper theme and I’m a bit lost as to how I import existing templates for my pages.
I installed one of the demos (without content, since I have hundreds of posts already)
Now when I create a new page (to start building a homepage for example), I get the tagdiv builder by default, which only allows me to insert elements and build the page from scratch block by block.
I can’t see where I import page templates, can you please assist?
Hm scratch that question, I see I cannot even use the tagdiv builder, the page on the right is blank and I can’t drag and drop, so I assume there’s something wrong with my WP config. I will fix that first and get back here if there’s more trouble 🙂
Ok I fixed the tagdiv composer, I can add/remove elements now, but my original question remains.
How do I import page templates??
I’m responding to my own messages here, as I learn more about how this theme is working, feel free to point any mistakes to me please 🙂
If I use the tagdiv builder, there are no page templates. The only way to copy your existing templates, is to install a demo WITH content (which will create the demo pages), and for the page I want the template of, simply copy its shortcode into a new page, and then edit that with tagdiv builder in the frontend.
If I want to load/save page templates, I need to use the visual composer builder, which will allow me to use an existing page template that you have from your demo. But then I am locked in using the visual composer for this page.
So if these two statements above are correct, and the pitch is that the tagdiv builder is a lot better, I need to install a demo with content, and copy-paste shortcodes from pages whose layouts I want to re-create in my site. Correct?
Is this pretty much it ? Have I got it right? 🙂
I am still stuck on the blank page with the tagdiv composer – how did you resolve it?
In my case the problem was a non-https link being loaded in the page (my logo). As my site is https, that created the problem. Once I changed the logo link to the https equivalent, it came back. 🙂
