I have another website using Visual Composer. I want o use it in another new web, I know I have to pay another license but when I try to install the plugin I see this error:

The plugin does not have a valid header.
Downloading install package from http://gerardx.dev/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/plugins/js_composer.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Installing the plugin…

Destination folder already exists. /app/public/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/

Plugin install failed.

I’m working on local. The website where I want to install it is gerardx.dev and it says that it was installed here already but it’s a new folder with a new name of website, then I don’t understand how can it be already existing.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

After you deactivate the Visual composer plugin you must also delete it and then upload the new version. Here is a tutorial about the update process – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
If it says that the folder already exists you must check in the wp-content/plugins folder if there still is a js_composer folder and remove it, then try the installation again. Disabling and deleting it from the plugins section should remove this folder automatically.

Thanks
