Unable to create homepage after update

Hi team,

It’s me back again: after updating to NewsMag 2.3 and the latest VC plugin, I’m unable to make a decent homepage. What I mean is that its simply impossible to add sidebar elements (to the homepage)… they show up in the next row, in the centre instead of the side of the current row.

Please help.

UPDATE: Ive gone back to an older version of VC for now, which seems to be doing better (but not well enough, the elements are still mis-aligned).

tagDiv folks, looking forward to a solution from your end. Cheers!

Hi

Please backup the whole current theme installation as well as the database and wp install: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Backups in case something goes wrong you can get back at the old install.
Make sure you do a clean update, meaning that we recommend that you delete the old version of the theme before uploading the new one – https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-how-to-update-the-theme/ update also the plugins that come with the theme files from the /plugins folder. If you’re using child theme deactivate it during the update process, switch to default wp theme.
If you use child theme for files customizations it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.

Let us know how it goes.
Thanks!

Andrei,

Did exactly that but to no avail 🙁

I’ve still had NO luck with the latest version of visual composer, but the older one seems to do better. The only problem with the older version is that the main menu and the rest of the modules aren’t aligned correctly… that too only on the home page.

Any idea what I could try next?

TIA

and the bottom right here. Also notice there is NO sidebar. This is with the newest VC plugin:

Sometimes just resaving your menus, resaving your main widget on sidebar helps to reset stuff if your WP install got confused with transient settings.

Thanks Andrei, the team’s response fixed it for me.

For everyone else having this problem: I created a child theme using ‘One Click Child Theme’ plugin. Clearly, that was a bad idea; using the included child theme zip is the way to go 🙂

Cheers
