WPBakery 8.7.2 bundled with Newsmag 5.4.3.6 — update guidance

Posted in: Newsmag
Post count: 1

Hello tagDiv Support,

I recently purchased a new Regular License for Newsmag and downloaded the current full package directly from ThemeForest.

The package is Newsmag 5.4.3.6, and the bundled file:

Newsmag-tf/plugins/js_composer.zip

contains WPBakery Page Builder 8.7.2.

Our website currently uses WPBakery 6.13.0, and the homepage depends directly on WPBakery shortcodes. We need to update it securely without breaking compatibility with Newsmag, tagDiv Composer, or the existing homepage layout.

WPBakery’s official changelog lists version 8.7.3 with an additional security-related fix involving capability and nonce verification for frontend preview requests.

Could you please confirm:

1. Whether you can provide a Newsmag-tested WPBakery 8.7.3 package;
2. Whether WPBakery 8.7.3 is officially compatible with Newsmag 5.4.3.6 and may be installed manually;
3. Or whether you recommend installing the bundled WPBakery 8.7.2 version while waiting for a future Newsmag update.

Please also confirm whether an updated ThemeForest package is planned.

Thank you.

Hi,

No problem. I can provide WPBakery 8.7.3 so you don’t have to wait until we include it in the next theme update. It will work fine with the theme. You just have to deactivate and delete the version you are using now, and install the new one.

I can provide the plugin by email, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and include a link to this forum topic in the email, so I know what it’s about.

Thank you!
