I just checked again. It must be happening because I have the “title text color” set to white in the widget sidebar box setting.

Your custom code worked — thank you! My theme color isn’t set to white; it’s set to blue. So it must be something else. Anyhow I’m glad to see this resolved. Have a great weekend!

Hi, Arias. I just updated my website activation manually and it worked, very easy. Here are the Tagdiv instructions I found (I think their office is closed today). Hope it helps!

If you were using the theme before, you can manually update it. Check out how here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cannot-activate-theme-i-have-more-than-one-installation/#post-175833

@Billal, what exactly did you do in the new Tagdiv Composer to correct this page width problem?

From what I understood from Tagdiv, they will no longer offer support for VC in conjunction with the Newspaper theme. I’m having the same problem you are. For now I have the Tagdiv Composer deactivated. But based on what they told me it seems that it won’t make sense to move forward with the theme using VC. Their entire focus is on making updates to the theme with the Tagdiv Composer only.

Did you do this for a brand new purchase of the theme? I have been using the theme for months so it’s already been activated before. I didn’t want to create a new username and password since I have one.

I have a question: If for now we continue to use the VC, how do we update it since we always had to do that through Tagdiv?

Norman, I had the same issue. I actually love Visual Composer — it’s one reason why I switched from another theme that had its own custom page builder to Newspaper. I loved that Newspaper used VC.
When I recently installed version 8 and activated the Tagdiv Composer my pages and posts were messed up.

When I deactivated it, my site worked fine again. So I can’t see how it’s possible to have both VC and Tagdiv Composer plugins activated without there being problems.

Plus, Tagdiv advised me to switch to their composer because from now on the support will be for that (and not for Newspaper with VC).

I’m not sure what to do. I don’t want to take time to reformat my entire website right now in order to adapt to Tagdiv Composer. But I also don’t want to use a theme with VC if it’s not supported. It’s a conundrum!

I had problems with page width and photo sizes when I just updated to v. 8. But it corrected itself when I deactivated the Tagdiv Composer plugin. I’m trying to figure out if I can now just use v.8 with Visual Composer if I want…

Catalin, it sounds like you’re no longer going to support VC with the Newspaper theme. Is that right? Or could I go on using version 8, which I just installed, with VC if I want? No offense, I’m sure the Tagdiv Composer is great, but at this moment I’d rather stick with what I know. Then I could take time later to learn TC and reformat things.

One more thing: The theme is now asking me to activate it, create a username and password. I did this when I first bought it. Do I need to do it again? I doubt it will let me use the same username and password I use here… Confused.

Has anyone switched from a VC-built site to the new Tagdiv Composer plugin and easily fixed problems that it created site-wide, like to page width or photo sizes?

Hi again. I just deactivated the Tagdiv Composer plugin and the Tagdiv social counter plugin. Now my post pages and my photos look back to normal. Could you please point me to some information about choosing between the Tagdiv Composer vs. Virtual Composer? I’ve designed the entire site with VC. What is required to transition to Tagdiv Composer for an existing site? And does it make sense to switch over at this point? Is it going to require tons of reformatting of existing pages? thanks.

I just upgraded and it’s screwing up my site! Why is my post wider now that I upgraded? My sidebar is on top of it! help! Also my photo sizes are wrong in some cases.

Here’s an example of the screwed up post page width: https://www.travisneighborward.com/decorating/small-bathroom-decorating-ideas-designers/

My homepage photo of me (on the right), plus the book below it are getting cut off:

Hi, Bogdan. For some reason that’s still not working for me. I deleted the website cache and the Chrome browser cache before I tested it. I also tried deleting the !important which sometimes creates errors for me (don’t know why). That didn’t do it either.

Is the problem that the General Theme Colors setting that I have set to the background color for the entire site is overriding the custom coding you gave me?

Thanks.

Thanks, Bogdan. That doesn’t seem to be working for me. I switched out the page ID number as you said. And I cleared the cache within WordPress and within Chrome.

This is the page I set the custom CSS for: https://www.travisneighborward.com/home-garden-main/

As you can see the background is still set to the gray color.

I also tried with another page, but it didn’t work.

Is it possible that something else in the Theme Panel is overriding it?

Thanks! That didn’t do it — but I think I figured out what was blocking it, and now I’ve fixed it! In Theme Panel I had the “Body” font set to Merriweather so it was overriding the custom CSS. I set it instead to “default font” and now the button is using that custom CSS to make the button text Monserrat.

Sorry, Catalin. You should be able to look at the coding now. Thank you!

Sorry about that. You should be able to look at the coding now. Thanks!

Sorry, what country are you in? I had to put some blocks in place because of hackers. I can lift it so you can see. I did change the code as you suggested but it didn’t solve the problem. I can make a button with Monserrat from within a text box, but not by using the VC button — the VC button is still resorting to Monserrat.

Hi! The button font change worked but now it’s reverted to a serif font. Here’s the CSS I inserted in my Custom Code section of the theme panel. Any idea how I should change it? You can see that it’s serif by looking at https://www.travisneighborward.com — look for the button that says “Buy the Book”

.vc_btn3{
font-family: Monserrat, Verdana, Geneva;
}

I just noticed that all my blog posts that use Visual Composer boxes are now using Monserrat for the text font, instead of Merriweather. Is it because of this custom code? It wasn’t like this before.

Or where in Theme Panel do you find the font specifically for VC boxes?

All my other blog posts that I didn’t create using VC have the correct font.

Fantastic. Thank you!
