Visual Composer Update Instructions Question

Like others my visual composer stopped working. I tried to update the VC using the instructions in the forums but, when I get to “upload plugin/choose” I cannot find the vc file in my plugins. The other plugins are there, but not VC.

Also, when I go to the Newspaper theme page, and upload VC from there, the problem does not resolve. I have tried to delete and re-install three times.

Ok, I finally found this file, but when I uploaded it and activated… same result, vc not working.

the vc/jscomposer plugin is in the ‘all files’ download from themeforest in the oddest of places — the plugins folder! — so, you might try getting it from there.

Oh, looks like you did find it, sorry.

You need to update both theme and plugin to fix issue with WP 4.5.

Delete old jscomposer folder in your plugins folder, upoload new one. Clear caching/CDN, and also transients using wp-optimize or similar.

Should work!

Chris,

While I appreciate your humor unfortunately I have spent hours on this to no avail. I certainly know how to locate files. The issue is that there are several instances of Newspaper on my hard drive. I did download the most recent recent version of Newspaper through WordPress. In total I have spent three hours on this and it defeats the purpose of why I purchased Newspaper which was for it’s plug and play capability as I am not a developer in any way shape or form.

To ensure that I have the new jscomposer file and new newspaper file on my hard drive can you please point to where I can download these files a second time so that I can download them and try this process for a fourth time? The stress of this and my site not functioning is coming to a head.

I appreciate any help I can get.

Woke fresh on Saturday morning and gave this a shot. I got through it! Thanks for the them download/upload instructions, that made the difference.
