I have hundreds of pages built with Visual Composer so I don’t want to recreate these with tagDiv Composer. I want to update to Newspaper 8.1. Currently running Newspaper 7.6.1.

I understand having both page builders activated can break things so can I achieve my goal doing the following:
1. Deactivate newspaper 7.6.1 and delete theme
2. Install newspaper 8.1 via FTP or WordPress
3. Deactivate tagDiv Composer
4. Install and activate VC 5.2 that ships with newspaper 8.1

Will tagDiv Composer only break pages built with Visual Composer if I go in and edit and save that page when I have tagDiv composer activated?

Thanks in advance
Greg

Hello Greg,

Nothing will be broken if you simply install the new theme and deactivate the tagdiv composer. That’s it. It is a plugin that activate automatically but you simply deactivate it and that’s that. You should not edit a page at all having both plugins active.

Thank you!

This builder is a total nonsense. Very hard to implement any custom post type, to get effects like we can have with visual composer addons,…+
+ it is onlyfront end, which can be nice for beginners but impossible to handle for experts…
+ lets talk of SEO impact of those “builders” which cant be reviewed easily…A NIGHTMARE.

I loved your theme but i wont use it anymore because of this !

No one is forcing you to use the new tagdiv page builder. You can still use visual composer just as before. Simply disable the tagdiv page builder if you do not like it.

Thanks.
