Today I updated from 7.8 to Newspaper 8.0 and ran into a lot of problems which costs me a lot of time.
The problems are related to td composer and visual composer.
Followed the guide and instructions but it’s not working properly and is not userfriendly.
After the update there was showing a widget with title contents in my sidebar, strangly though it was not showing as a widget in the customizer.
– Big Grid gets glued to a block when changing row layout.
– When I add a block and want to remove it later I get this error:
Errors happened during tdcIFrameData.TdcLiveView -> customRender!.
– When switching to Visual composer and adding a block to the homepage the block-title is not showing.
Glad I made a backup. I’m switching back to version 7.8.
Such a shame. Never had problems before with template updates.
Hi,
The only major modification in the latest theme update is the introduction of the tagDiv composer. This plugin is activated by default the moment you update the theme, and it can in some cases affect Visual composer elements

I could not say where the widget you mention is coming from, while not being in the widgets section, without inspecting it maybe.
Also the other problems would require inspection in order to see why it is happening.
It could be other plugins, custom code added in theme panel or in the theme files, a child theme or other customization and factors.
A backup is always recommended before updating themes
