Visual Composer stop working after update to latest Newspaper Version 3.8.1

I update today to Newspaper Version 3.8.1 and update the 2 plugins via FTP to.
Now the visual composer addon did not work. At my front page i get [vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"]…. and when i try to edit my home page in backend the visual composer did not work. only default editor.
Can you give me some hint what is going wrong.
thanks

Having the same issue just updated theme and installed the VC via the plugin and VC has vanished? Homepage is now broken?

Visual Composer 4.12 will not update to version 4.13?

I figured it out. Just FTP overwrote the js_composer plugin folder.

@jim What do you mean “FTP overwrote the js_composer plugin folder”? I am having the same problem. Currently reverting to the old version of that plugin

/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer

go to the folder above take the plugin files you get from the
js_composer.zip in the download from themeforest and overwrite the files on your hosting server. You may need to unzip them and put them in a folder first.

You do this with you ftp client. I use filezilla. It is free just google it.

@jim did it worked for you? my one isn’t showing the blocks properly instead, it is showing [vc box] and stuff. how did you do that?

thanks!

Does not really help. Same problem here. The files are in the folder at the FTP, everything as described but the mobile view seems not to work.

Having the same issue as mentioned above. Tried manually uploading the js_composer plugin folder, replacing the one that came pre-packaged and it didn’t solve the issue for me.

Do you guys want the old version of that plugin? I have the old one.

I had same problem too. Old version is working. Just upload and overwrite. Now pages are OK.

Unfortunately I don’t have that option rae-secret. Since I just bought the template from Themeforest, I don’t have access to older versions.

I can’t get my site back to normal,and i check in my theme folder i don’t have any folder by that name..right now my site down because the files for VC is not taking a effect…

@Radu – thanks so much for you hint. i delete the Newspaper/wpbaker folder and now everythink work perfect 🙂
best regards

Nevermind,i’ve found my issue and fixed it,now every thing working as entended..thank you for the update
