I’ve updated to Newspaper 8.8. My pages were created using Visual Composer – I am trying to recreate my Homepage with TagDiv composer. But I’m having a problem adding the sidebar on the right.
When making the new Homepage:
I add the Big Grid Slide for the top of the page.
I add the Block 11 for articles
I then trying adding the Layout that has the wide lines and the narrow lines (2/3 + 1/3) but then the Big Grid Slide disappears and I get this error message ‘Big Grid Slide must be in a ROW / 3 COLUMNS.’ When I switch the layout back to the wide lines (1/1) the Big Grid Slide reappears.
I’ve tried making the page in different ways but i just keep getting stuck. Can you help please?
Hello,
You can use separate rows and make the big grid it;s own row full width a then split the one underneath where you can implement the sidebar just like this layout:

You cannot use a big grid inline with a sidebar.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for replying. The layout I already have because it’s the one that TagDiv created with the old Composer. But now I need to make in the new one.
You said ‘You can use separate rows and make the big grid it;s own row full width a then split the one underneath where you can implement the sidebar just like this layout:’ But I don’t know how to do this. I watched a TagDiv video and it just skipped over it. Is there not any instructions or solutions that explain how to do this please?
Hello,
When creating your layout, start with the rows first: https://www.screencast.com/t/pFc1hEMX
You can split a row in multiple columns by sing the row settings: https://www.screencast.com/t/bF8uwhmc
Thank you!
That worked, thank you!
I think other beginners would find that useful if added into the tutorial.
Cheers!
