Hi there,
I would like to use a full paid version of Visual Composer with the Newspaper theme – however when I entered me license number and update the plug-in to the latest version I do not see all the extras that come with the paid version. I contacted the Plug-in developer and they told me to reach out to you. They mentioned changing the function files – after looking through them I have noticed the comments about declaring an empty function in my child theme in order to see the ‘hidden’ elements of VC – but have tried that with no results.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hi,
You can activate them by removing this code from functions.php: http://screencast.com/t/EuxGKGR1InbU
We had some issues with these blocks, don’t work properly with the theme, that’s why are hidden. We work on this issues and will be solved on Newspaper 5 version of theme. Sorry for inconvenience!
Thanks!
I have tried removing the code with no effect. I have now commented it out… also no effect. Cleared my browser cache in case that was the issue. Still nothing had changed. See screen shot for my code as it is now… this is the main functions.php file in the newspaper folder (not in my child theme).
/*
to enable all the visual composer features from a child theme, declare an empty td_disable_visual_composer_features function like so in the child's functions.php:
function td_disable_visual_composer_features() {
}
*/
if (!function_exists('td_disable_visual_composer_features')) {
function td_disable_visual_composer_features() {
//if you want to enable all the features from visual composer delete this code
if (function_exists('vc_remove_element')) {
//remove unused composer elements;
//vc_remove_element("vc_separator");
// vc_remove_element("vc_text_separator");
//vc_remove_element("vc_message");
// vc_remove_element("vc_toggle");
//vc_remove_element("vc_gallery");
// vc_remove_element("vc_tour"); //wtf
// vc_remove_element("vc_accordion");
// vc_remove_element("vc_teaser_grid");
// vc_remove_element("vc_posts_slider");
// vc_remove_element("vc_posts_grid");
// vc_remove_element("vc_cta_button");
//vc_remove_element("vc_progress_bar");
//vc_remove_element("vc_wp_links");
//vc_remove_element("vc_facebook");
//remove unused styles and visual composer scripts
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'td_remove_visual_composer_assets', 100 );
}
//end delete code visual composer
}
}
Hi,
Go into Settings -> Visual Composer and enable all elements, save the settings – http://screencast.com/t/9ufQkkVLWPp
Thank you.
That worked…. didn’t even know that was there. Thank you for all your help.
