Probably around two weeks. I asked in the comments section of the theme a few days ago and that is what they told me for the update but don’t know about the other stuff.

I would but I am not having issues on my end at all with it on my website. So I would help if I could and I don’t think it is the theme since I am not having the problem at all. http://www.awesomebryner.com/forums/ and see for yourself.

Looks like the site is still using v4.6.3. It is at v6.5 now. Maybe updating it would help. Just a thought. Also, Visual Composer with that version is 4.7.4, which is better to fix a vulnerability in earlier versions. Check documentation on updating theme and Visual Composer.

Sorry, but I am not support and I can only tell you that you need to change that username. I don’t know what else to help you with on that because I really have not had to restore my website. I can only say if you have a backup through your hosting then ask your host to see if they can help with a restore. I can’t really do it for you and you need to try to keep as much offering access to your site as possible from others. Only give access to support here with Tagdiv and your hosting.

Never show access on the forums. I wish I could do more but I am just another Newsmag user. Offering a little help in the forums. I am not support for the theme.

I posted on other thread and just wait for an answer on the attack but for a restore, please wait for Tagdiv. I am not the best to answer for restoring website but I still think that admin user needs changing for protection.

Also, they take up to a while to answer threads. So you have to be patient. They aren’t going to just answer as soon as you post. Sorry, to be a downer for you but if you want to get help a little quicker send them an email to their email on support page.

I am just another user of theme but I checked your link to website and you have admin all over the website. You should never have admin account on your website. That needs to be changed as soon as possible. It is an easy way for someone to access because that is the default account when installing WordPress. You need to have your own username and not admin. Strong password too. If your site is being hacked it is because of admin username.

Another best thing to do if you are giving Tagdiv access to your site. Make a temporary username and password with administrator rights and then delete it after they fixed what ever you want them to fix. This way no one can access it. Admin username is what hackers use to get in. Hope that helps.

Yes, that is what it was. I had the api plugin installed but that block was there and when I removed the plugin it was gone. I did not need the api plugin because I am not going to be creating new blocks. I tried the creating stuff with Visual Composer builder and thought it was confusing to me. So I am sticking with just what you guys offer in the updates. I like new features to play with but if I have to spend hours off and on to figure out something, to me it is a lot of time consuming. So I gave up on it.

What I was thinking of doing with the builder was creating a carousel for posts that shows like 4 images of posts and has left and right arrows and every certain time limit it rotates to the left every 4 of the images if you set like 8, 12 and up images and just continues rotating. Nothing in Visual Composer or in theme has that. The carousel in theme is just posts with excerpt and read more button and I don’t want that kind of carousel.

I am going to not worry about this either. Thanks anyways.

I don’t have any plugin that deal with how posts are displayed at all. It is in the block of any of the blocks from the theme does this. I already disabled all plugins except Visual Composer but it still does it but even if I give you access to the site, it still won’t show issue until I don’t post a new post in that category for like up to a month and half time.

It just does it on its own in about month and half time. Last one I posted in that category before yesterday was September 13th. I am just going to leave it and it does it again I will just add a new review. If all else fails that will do it.

I am a little out of it because I got a cold and had it since Wednesday.

Whoops! I submitted early. LOL!

Just thought I would say I checked your link provided and everything looks fine on my end. Nothing is missing and everything loads up fine for me.

I will let Tagdv finish this if you continue to have issues.

Could try deactivating all plugins except Visual Composer and refresh cache and see if that helps and reactivate one by one a plugin until you see which one is causing the issue, otherwise like I said it looks fine on my end.

Sorry, you meant the design options not showing up on dashboard as to set some designs for the element and not what I was saying to remove the nag that when you update the plugin. I think Tagdiv has it set the way it is to not show because of some issues or something like that.

So to change those settings you have to do as I said before like to get rid of nag to use the options on another theme and then go back to Newsmag but there is a chance you still can’t do much with the design options in what you want. I don’t know anything about deprecated error.

Hope I answered some of the questions.

They will recommend you use the updated version they offer with theme update but if you want to take a chance and get the free update that they are offering on the Visual Composer page here:

http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431

It is a free security update they are offering to everyone even for those themes including it.

Tagdiv will tell you its not tested yet before they release it with theme but I am currently using with no issues and for the missing design options.

You need to go into maintenance mode and deactivate theme and use default theme like Twenty Fifteen or similar theme and then go to Visual Composer dashboard menu and it should show the design options and just resave the options without changing anything and reactivate Newsmag and that nag will be gone.

As for tabs on the new v4.8.0.1 on the Visual Composer link above. That element loads up just fine for me and lets me set options for it. It also looks like the same tabs element for the older versions too.

Can’t answer for the design options in the tabs element since I never done that before.

I hope I covered what you were asking otherwise I am not sure what you meant and I am sorry if I got that wrong.

I don’t see anything for bold on title in tabs element either.

I think there should be a sticky thread on the cloudflare rocket loader for this theme to turn it off because it effects most of what the theme does. Just a thought for those who keep having some kind of JS issues and with lazy load feature. It really messes up peoples websites that have JS ads on the site too. I am not going to try to manually change certain scripts for to have rocket loader enabled. That seems to drastic to have rocket loader enabled. It does help like 7% on speed on Y-Slow with rocket loader but they still have it in beta.

Not saying this thread but a new thread about images and lazy loading and JS scripts not working and rocket loader is the cause of it.

Yes, for English website is one use of theme and if you do (fr.healthills.com) then that is another and that is not a test site. So that means to purchase another license of the theme to use on the second one and so forth. So if you wanted 5 live sites of this theme, that is 5 different licenses to use. Unlimited test sites is a site that is not live or on the web getting visitors.

If you move from one host to another, then you can use the same theme without buying again. If you want to change domains from one to another it is possible to use the same theme but you can’t use the theme on two different domains with the same one license of the theme. Hope that is understandable.

Nevermind, I am looking for a carousel where it just picks from categories without adding the content manually and I don’t think the tabbed content on visual composer does this. I think you just got it set where you added certain posts or media to it and that is it. I am looking for random post carousel thing and there is nothing like that in visual composer. Kind of like the big grid 3 but in a rotating carousel. So don’t worry about showing me what you did.

Hey, you are welcome! Can you do me a favor now give me instructions on how you did that tabbed section on you homepage where it is culture/tech & science/society with scrolling. I can’t figure how you did that and I tried the tabbed content element on visual composer but it had nothing for categories in the element to select. Are you using a plugin for that?

This is the problem I was having with the theme and cloudflare and it is rocket loader on cloudflare. Disable rocket loader and you will be back to normal. For some reason it still in beta and cloudflare does not care to fix the rocket loader issues. I am using cloudflare with rocket loader disabled. Rocket loader messes up JS. So if you use a lot of JS on the website, then rocket loader will screw it up a lot. This is from spending hours and trying to figure it out with this theme.

It is under speed tab in cloudflare scroll down and where it says rocket loader, turn it off. Turn your lazy load back on and it should work like normal again.

Just because Adsense is the pickiest network and even having other content on the sidebar with it scrolling, they will find something to complain about and ban people. You think it you know it all most of the time. My first impression since I actually been on here for support was like I should of never been here at all. So if anyone has felt like they wasted their time on this support forums its others. You really have not been very nice Chris at least to me.

All I said is what I felt about Adsense and you flipped. They don’t even have use for PayPal. Of course I am go to use Adsterra because they do use PayPal and it also does pretty much the same as Adsense. I would never go back to Adsense. Sometimes I wondering if support is even worth it sometimes. Always find someone that wants to put others down.

I am using Adsterra on my website, which will let me use smart sidebar with their ads with no problems. I was surprised I was even accepted through them because their requirements are 300,000 pageviews a month and I am not even close to that.

Sorry to jump in here and be a bother but if anyone that uses free hosting with share hosting is limited badly. Not saying you are using free hosting but even the cheapest hosting is limited with resources and you even spend a lot of time in the dashboard with in an hour changing stuff on the website and then shortly after that visiting your website and then hoping other visitors visit the site end up seeing that resource limit or cpu limit error. Been there and done that with free hosting and really cheap hosting. Free hosting you get 5% resources and cheap hosting you get a max 15% resources. When you hit the limits, no matter what you change to the max_execution_time should be at 300 and max_input_vars should be above 2000. You will still see the errors with those low end hosting companies.

Not saying you are on that kind of hosting but if you are, then that will be more likely a big problem even changing those settings. That kind of hosting probably won’t even give you access to change the php.ini. Just a warning from someone that used to use free hosting and really cheap hosting.

Sorry, Chris but I have to disagree here about the ads on the smart sidebar. I even had been banned from them from doing it. I been banned and resigned up using different emails and still its the most pickiest monetizing network in the world. You can get banned for unknown reasons too. Been there done that.

That is why you read the TOS. Its there for people to read. If people don’t know that yet and it is all over Google search about Adsense and floating ads. They will ban you for it. Funny that people are just realizing that its been in the TOS. As far as I have even heard about Adsense. I knew that moving ads with scrolling was against their TOS. Adsense it the only network I have known to be against it.

Yes, I did do it even knowing that it was not right. So I tried to get away with it. I bet a lot have too.

I just got rid of the ads on website and it works flawlessly. So I guess it was the ads that causes the issues. No matter what I use. I tried almost all networks. Oh well.

Chrome has always worked fine. It was just Firefox it would not load images and I would have to refresh. I switched to Opera to replace Firefox with no issues. If you are not seeing issues then I am not going to worry about it. I was just worried that other visitors would have problems. Since no one is coming to me with that issue on my website via contact page, then I am going to ignore it.

There is that page size and http requests thing that kind of bothers me though. Lazy load as I have read online is supposed to lower the page size like WP Rocket does and less http requests too but the lazy load with theme does not do this at all. It does not affect the page size or lower http requests at all. I am sticking with the theme one but I used the WP Rocket one for short time and tested it and it did speed up website by about almost half a second. Lazy load on theme is average 1.5 to 2.0 seconds and WP Rocket is 1 second to 1.2 seconds on loading website.

Only bringing that up if you guys could figure how to get that done with your lazy loading, if not then I won’t worry about it either. I like you lazy load because it just seems to load the images better.

Until I hear from any visitors that the images are not loading, then I won’t do anything.

It wasn’t working on the users with buddypress deactivated like you said and I put the CSS code in and it fixed that, then I removed the CSS and activated buddypress but when you go to user link and loads page and then there is a tab for the topics and replies and buddypress works fine for those topics started and replies created are working just fine if you use buddypress without using any fixing.

Don’t know if you are any interested in using buddypress at all but it works fine with buddypress fixing the issue. Just a suggestion. If you just want forums only then just ignore the buddypress suggestion.
