Hi,

I just updated the WP to version 4.6.1 and after i wanted to edit pages but Visual Composer (editor) did not work.
Do you have any idea what can be the problem?

Thank you,
Judit

You need to also update the VC plugin with the theme update. 🙂

Yes, i read it but i do not find the option where to update. 🙂
Inside the Theme panel i find only deactivate button.
And inside Plugins does not require update.
What could be the solution?

Thx

Yeah. Agree. Note it is the top “sticky” subject seen first in the forum. 😉

A lot of people miss that.

Hi,

Thanks Chris for your help!


@nktheme
Like Christopher said above there is a sticky topic on the forum how to update the Visual Composer plugin and an explanation that it is licensed to the theme and only we can provide updates, you cannot update it directly from the it’s producer.
Also in the theme update guide it is specified to update the theme’s plugins – http://screencast.com/t/PJfPIcJc4n
However we will consider your request and add also a link to the Visual Composer tutorial.

Thanks!

Might be good to put the sticky posts on color backing like the one for TD Composer, otherwise i think a lot of peeps miss that it’s not just another post unrelated to them.

And — hey ! — I need a [IV] badge ! 😉

@punza
did you do the things suggested in this thread and in the ‘how to upgrade’ page ?

Delete old VC via FTP from plugins folder, and upload the new version via FTP, is best way.

I followed instructions, deleted plugin, updated plugin manually but the editor stil doesn’t work. I can’t write or edit articles…
