I’m having a couple of problems after updating to 8.0 today.
1) I have identified/isolated the problem to be with the tagDiv Composer plugin. (I turned off every plugin one by one to verify it only occurs when tagDiv Composer is active) When I turn it off, my images look correct. If I turn it back on, several images are showing as the wrong size on the home page and a few other pages.
2) I am also noticing that my menu items are not showing visible text upon hovering and clicking. The styles are messed up or something is wrong – each menu item gets highlighted with a solid color and no text is readable. This is not good for users.
These changes occurred after updating to 8.0 theme today. Everything has been fine prior to the update. I do have a backup save but prefer not to revert yet so you can see the problem and hopefully help us resolve the glitches.
Can you help? I can provide an admin login. Thank you.
Hi,
The new composer that was introduced in the latest theme update should not be used together with the Visual composer editor. You can just leave it deactivated for the moment. However you should try and use the new tagDiv composer to recreate your page, and only use it from now on. In future theme updates new features will be released exclusively for this page builder. Her is a guide for the new front-end editor

The sub-menu items background and text hover color can be changed in the theme panel

Tons of elements of our (very large) website are built using the WPBakery Visual Composer. Are you saying I must rebuild all those pages with the new tagdiv composer in order for the site to work and render in the future? *sigh*
I have updated to v8 and I have the same problem. Why suddenly Visual composer is the bad guy? And is it just me, or tagDiv composer plugin activates itself if I deactivate it? It says it’s required, but for what, page editing? What if I want to stick with plain editing?
Hi Simon,
Thanks for the instructions.
But what we have to do with posts created with VC?
If we are using tagdiv composer we are getting wider posts, and also the demos are not working properly. This made me loose trust on tag div in future updates…
sample post with issue https://www.stufeed.com/tech/airtel-makes-free-unlimited-outgoing-calls-local-std-all-mobile-calls-with-daily-2-gb-3g4g-data-free/
Its terrible..
even I am not getting any option to edit those posts with tagdiv.. so how can i activate the tag div composer to realign my post pages?
also the mobile plugin has issues.
I have wasted much time in installing the theme by all the ways but nothing worked properly.
Only way is to uninstall/deactivate tagdiv composer and enable only VC
Hi,
This last theme update is a major step and reflects the direction the theme will follow. The new tagDiv composer is more optimized and lighter in most ways then the Visual composer editor. Future theme updates will include more features and options for the new editor. We know the transition will not be easy for all cases, that is why we tried our best to make it as smooth as possible.
You can keep using the Visual composer and deactivate the tagDiv composer, but you should take this into consideration.
Thanks
I will not be able to dedicate time to fixing all our page layouts in the new tagdiv composer for a while. In the meantime, it seems that my Widgetised Sidebar is no longer working, and it provides an important function on our home page, which is now missing/not showing. Can you help with this?
I was able to resolve the widgetised sidebar issue. Thank you.
I’m finally finding time to attempt to switch our customized page layouts from using Visual Composer to using Tagdiv Composer. I am having trouble with two components as I try to use Tagdiv Composer: Single Images and Message Boxes. I can’t understand how to replace these items using Tagdiv composer and achieve a similar layout. The images don’t seem to work at all, the settings don’t display any image at all. Can you point me in the right direction on how to replace Single Image and Message Box items using TagDiv Composer?
This page is a good example that gets horribly broken when I switch to TagDiv Composer: https://mauimagazine.net/archive-index/
Thank you for your guidance.
Hi,
The single image elements are among the most affected by the composers. Each has it’s own different implementation and functionality for these elements, that apply when both Visual composer and tagDiv composer are active at the same time.
The settings for the single image have some differences between the editors

But these settings should be present regardless of having both editors active, and the image displayed. Only on the front end the images may not be displayed properly until deactivating Visual composer.
A similar element as the Message box is not available in tagDiv composer at the moment. There will be more added in future updates however.
Thanks
