Hi,
Well not all tools that say you have malicious code or other anomalies are correct. Visual composer states the same about wordfence:
Hi, we always test Visual Composer to be 100% safe – also our 3rd party developers check it and Envato as well. So if you purchase Visual Composer directly from WPBakery you can be 100% sure there are no malicious files in there. As for Wordfence – we personally doubt this plugin, because of the several cases in the past when it acted on such things like shortened URLs and so on.
To follow along with the plugin authors, we at TagDiv assure you there is no exploit or malicious code in our themes or the version of visual composer we provide and these tools are highly doubtful. In order to make a correct assesment, you neet to use more tools, not a single opinion from an untested plugin. We cannot say for sure what the plugin detects as I have checked all of the lines fo code mentioned in the errors you received but there is nothing potentially harmful there. You can rest assured there is no threat. A premium theme is built with custom code and plugins cannot detect this. WordPress plugins are created on the standard wordpress code and cannot recognize custom functions that we use. That is why it detects threats as the code is not in the standard wordpress codex. This is the case with all premium themes.
Thank you!
Thanks for the reply it’s unfortunate. Do you see this being reactivated in the near future?
I also wanted to ask – the visual composer website has many add ons you can purchase. Is this able to integrate into the themes VC if I am to purchase the add ons? If not how can I obtain more blocks/features/widgets etc for the visual composer?
Thank you
David
Hello siktirella,
Please try to disable and delete your Visual Composer plugin from your panel and try to re-install it from the Premium Plugins Area that comes bundled with our theme and check the results. Also, if you are using some untested plugins, please try to disable them and leave just Visual Composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and check the results.
Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi
I’ve checked your site but couldn’t see the issue the page has been modified. I am not sure why this happens on your side as on my end the theme works fine. Please provide page’s shortcode from Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/nzATw7DZDg via http://pastebin.com/ so I can have a closer look.
Thanks!
Hello David.
I’m sorry for the misunderstanding but we never advertised that the plugin can or should be activated. We state the opposite in our documentation here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
You do not have to buy it and do not have to activate it as it’s a free version we provide bundled with our theme.
The front-end editor has been disabled from our theme as it created problems and could not be used. Our theme is adapted to work properly with visual composer as we created our own modules and blocks to work with the plugin.
You can only use visual composer in the back-end at the moment. Please follow this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience.
The plugin “Visual Composer” , “wp_booster ” are giving such codes. Please note: I am using Exploit scanner plugin to reveal such information to you.
After installing the Visual Composer the following paths are showing files having eval and bas64_decode
wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/dist/frontend-editor.min.js:3
wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/dist/backend.min.js:5
wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/lib/php.default/php.default.min.js:310
wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/lib/php.default/php.default.min.js:314
wp-content/plugins/js_composer/include/classes/shortcodes/vc-raw-js.php:22
wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/lib/php.default/php.default.min.js:625
But I had a featured image set for all of these posts. The images just suddenly disappeared. If you look at an older version of my site you’ll see the images were all there.
And also, how do I fix the problem with the visual composer plugin updating automatically? I’m still getting messages about an update to 4.12. Is that not correct?
Thanks,
JJ
Hello claus,
Until now, we do not have any bad reports in this regard and the mobile theme is fully tested and is working as properly. Please notice that the font style for the mobile version it come by default and you do not have any option to change it.
So, please try to disable all the active plugins, leave just Visual composer to active, clear all your caches and install only the plugins that come bundled with our theme and rule out the conflicting plugins. Also, if your problem is still there, please provide more details about your issue, provide some useful screenshots with this issue and also, you can provide your website URL so I can inspect it closer the theme behaviour.
Thanks for your understanding!
These are the following path which are consisting of eval and base64_decode.Let me also inform you that it is a fresh install with wordpress.After i install the visual composer , again many path will have files under it containing eval and base64_decode.
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/td_view_import_export_settings.php:33
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/panel/td_view_update_newspaper_6.php:347
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/external/ace/worker-css.js:1
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/wp-admin/external/ace/worker-javascript.js:1
wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/wp_booster/td_block.php:556
Please help
Hello,
The code does not come gfrom our theme nor is the code mallicious in any way. Wordfence detects it that way but these tools are not always right. Please check this topic: http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431/comments?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=+base64_decode&from_buyers_and_authors_only=0
This is the official response from the plugin author:
Hello, this is basically problem with Wordfence – the code used there has no harm and it can stay this way.
Thank you!
Hello jatinsoni,
Please notice that all the plugins are in constant development. Each plugin will have to be checked with our theme for a good working and this process it may take a while. For example, the latest version of Visual Composer is 4.12 and the latest version of the plugin which has been tested with our theme is 4.11.2. In the future, after our developers will check this latest version of Visual Composer with the theme and they will find that the theme does not need to do some adjustments for, we will release an update with the latest version of Visual Composer (4.12) and also, with Revolution Slider. Until we will release the update with these latest versions you will have to ignore these messages.
So, please notice that if you want to have the latest version of the Visual Composer, you will need to have the additional license of this plugin and also, we cannot say for sure if this version of Visual Composer will work 100% with the theme because this version it is in testing.
Thaks for your understanding!
I would like to inform you that the eval and base64_decode are from js_composer directory . The plugin comes along with the package . Hence , it is the part of the theme. can you please help. I had bought this theme after reading a lot of reviews.
i have a problem on VC page building. when i click in page/post VC editing, tab’s right upper corner buttons like “trash can” or “dropdown menu” button, always makes main page goes up and buttons are not working.
i put video link to check it out.

Hi there,
I purchased this theme with the impression and false advertising that it comes with the all mighty visual composer. As a newbie this was really awesome. Now as far as I’m aware Tag Div have deactivated this front end feature?
I even went ahead and purchased the full version again and reinstalled it as all the advertisements and forums said I have to purchase the licence to have its full function. Still nothing. In fact it does not recognise my licence either. It seems that the themes integrated VC over rides my download and installation?
Please advise, as I find it a little finicky to edit from a list of fields…Very frustrated at this stage and would greatly appreciate the use of the front end version of VC.
Thank you
David

Hi
That page it’s built with Visual Composer and the first element added is Homepage Post block: http://screencast.com/t/4v01VNpIyTN
Yo can replicate that layout by adding on the top of the page homepage post block then other blocks from Visual Composer.
Thanks!
Hi
That happens because you added a row within another row in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/n6iezRjx – http://screencast.com/t/VxRRAvh2zdFD Try to use a single row for this section then test the page again: http://screencast.com/t/tmO8ZR22BV
Thanks!
