Hi!
I finally wanted to update my version: 7.6.1 of the theme as you recommended. I first updated the WordPress version and then I followed the instructions and tried both approaches: via backend and via ftp. In both cases it did not work out. Error message:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1048576 bytes) in /home/.sites/564/site1126821/web/wp-includes/class.wp-dependencies.php on line 209
I checked my server settings – there should be no problem there. I bought your theme a second time and used a later version. There I had no problems updating it.
I had to manually remove the theme on the server and then go back to a backup. I also got several alerts during the process about problems with the mobile theme. My guess is that it is the theme making troubles. Can you recommend how I may proceed.
Visual Composer
Another big problem is that the Visual Composer is not working anymore – it’s simply not on my sites since I updated to the latest Word Press Version. Any idea how I could fix that? Just deleting the Plugin and installing it manually from the latest version of the theme?
Thanks a lot!
Regards, Peter
Hi,
That is quite an an old theme version from which you are updating. Here you can find a changelog for each theme update, to see what has been modified, new features etc
– https://themeforest.net/item/newspaper/5489609 (bottom of the page).
Update guide if necessary here – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
That error you mention is in most cases related to insufficient memory
– https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/fix-wordpress-memory-exhausted-error-increase-php-memory/
The theme requirements guide has been updated as well, please check it carefully and if necessary ask your hosting provider to increase the values of the parameters mentioned in it
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/
For the WP memory we recommend a value of 256M.
After the update, deactivate/delete all the old theme plugins and install the new ones from the theme package plugins folder.
As a side note, the tagDiv composer will be automatically installed and activated after you update the theme. This composer could interfere with specific WPBakery elements or layouts. If that is the case, please disable it.
Also update WPBakery to the latest version if you use it (theme package contains version 5.6)
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
The option to edit pages with WPBakery should appear same as before

After you update clear all the website caches, CDN, browser cache. Let us know if you have problems.
