Hi,
I just updated the Newspaper theme and it automatically installed the TagDiv Composer plugin! Is this normal? I deleted the theme then uploaded the new theme using the zip newspaper file and then TD Composer appeared activated in my plugins page and had to uninstall it. How can this happen? I should be able to choose which tagdiv plugins I would like to use.
Hi,
Yes that is normal. The tagDiv composer will automatically be activated when the theme is installed or updated. This is mentioned here
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-composer-tutorial/
This happens because the composer is a required plugin, so it should be active.
Thanks
This is wrong, TagDiv shouldn’t have to make this a required plugin when we can simply use other plugins like Visual Composer which works fine. How is it required? The theme is fine without it. Sorry, don’t mean to be a pain but I’m surprised about this. Will I have to deactivate and uninstall everytime I update?
Always good to read changelog prior to install any major theme update.
Hi,
That is the current functionality, the tagDiv composer will be activated after updating the theme. This is not a problem for the users that are actually using this composer. If you use Visual composer simply deactivate it.
From theme version 8 the tagDiv composer is the main theme page builder. Visual composer is an optional alternative.
Thanks
