Hi!
The feature to put a page in a menu ist great, but on some pages it is broken.
Then it looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2216407/Bildschirmfoto%202015-07-30%20um%2017.03.27.png
I can find no similarities between those pages on which it doesn’t work. On some articles it works fine, on some not. Same template, same style, same everything. Really weird.
Same is on category pages – on some it works, on some it doesn’t.
Can you help?
Hi,
Do you use a cache plugin? if you do clear it and check if the issue is still there. Also try to disable all plugins except for Visual Composer and check again.
If this doesn’t help please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com , paste a link to this conversation and provide wp-admin access so we can take a look.
Thank you!
Hi Emil!
I tried and found that the problem seems to be with the plugin “FeedWordPress” (https://wordpress.org/plugins/feedwordpress/) which syndicated articles from RSS feeds. On posts created by the plugin and activated plugin, no VC content gets parsed. When deactivating the plugin, VC tags are parsed well. Also VC tags are parsed well on posts that where created by hand, even when the FeedWordPRess plugin is active.
Can you imagine, what the issue could be?
Regards,
Rolf
Hey, I contacted the author of FeedWordPress yesterday, too. He replied and his solution worked. I post it here for anyone who experiences the same problem:
Hi Rolf!
Thank you for getting in touch. I’m sorry to hear this has been a problem for you. I think that it should be easy to solve; at least, here’s something to try. Let me know if it works for you.
By default, FeedWordPress deliberately tries to protect syndicated posts from being altered by the formatting filters that are applied to locally-authored posts (I’m not positive this is the best default policy; but there are reasons in favor of it and reasons against). In any case, though, this behavior can be turned off by flipping a single setting in the FeedWordPress admin interface.
Here’s how. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard, and then go to FeedWordPress’s Posts & Links settings (Syndication > Posts & Links in the navigation bar on the right hand side of the WordPress admin interface). This should bring up a settings page with a number of panels of settings that control how syndicated posts appear on your website.
Next, scroll down through these settings until you find a panel labeled Formatting. The first setting on this panel should be called Formatting Filters. By default, unless you have altered this setting, it should read “Protect syndicated posts from formatting filters” in the drop-down menu. What you’ll want to do is to pull down the drop-down, and change this setting to “Expose syndicated posts to formatting filters”.
When you are done, scroll down to the bottom to find the blue Save Changes button. Mash that button, clear any page caches or browser caches you may need to clear to make sure you are looking at a fresh copy, and take a look at your website again to see if VC codes are now being applied to syndicated posts.
Note that if you are adding VC codes to syndicated posts by editing them in the WordPress post editor, that when you save changes to a syndicated post you will also need to click the checkbox in the post editor reading “Manual editing,” in order to ensure that the changes that you make won’t be overwritten by FeedWordPress during a later update.
Hope this all helps. Let me know if you have any questions, and let me know how this works for you.
Cheers,
-C
