It’s in the file download.

I think the only change is Visual Composer updated to security issue with VC.

Most themes which auto update in WP use either a theme foundry plugin; or can be updated due to being in the WordPress theme repository (e.g., free themes).

Most commercial themes on ThemeForest and commercial plugins don’t have an “auto update” feature, and generally this is a BAD idea — for example, if people had done auto update from NP4 to NP6, and woken up to find their site broken, that would not have been good.

Similarly some plugins may change settings and require workarounds and/or a perfect example is Yoast who “updated” their old wp meta plugin, by disabling it without telling people it would disable it, even though it still worked. Then printed message on screen – “we’ve discontinued this plugin, please upgrade to Yoast SEO” — well, on one site we didn’t want to do that and had to revert to the original meta plugin. Ouch!

Envato tried to build a theme updater for their themes and you can certainly try that. But often it’s best to review the changelog and see what changed so that you don’t wipe your child theme changes if there is major child theme update, or reset your home page if VC changes, etc.

For example an auto updater today might update the entire theme by deleting old folder and any customizations, and upload new one; when only thing changed was Visual Composer update for security issue. So, today only update it the VC plugin which can be done manually via FTP.

So, while it sounds like a good idea — in practice, it’s really not that advisable.

Hope that made sense — not trying to be contrary, just some feedback from using WP for 10 years and having a lot of cock ups from “auto updates” — we turn them ALL off for our sites due to too many site crashes in middle of the night without warning, or CPU spikes crashing entire box due to a bad plugin (e.g., YOAST, often has major bugs every damn dot upgrade then rushes out 3 rounds of “oops” fixes…. seriously… never install that on “new dot upgrade” — it’s a bad bad idea!). 🙂

It seems to be [ Version 2.2.1 ]
– improvement: updated visual composer to the latest version due to security issues with the plugin on it’s ajax calls

Hi

I’ve test this on my side with V2.2 of Newsmag theme and works fine: http://screencast.com/t/kRfHWSDX5 Please make sure that you’re using the latest theme’s version available on themeforest, also clear all caches, deactivate the plugins except Visual Composer and test again.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

Hi

Please make sure you don’t have enabled this option in Image Details: http://screencast.com/t/zZsWs89JJjCg
If the problem persist try to deactivate all plugins, except Visual Composer, clear the caches and test again.

Thanks!

Hi

I’ve test this on my side and works fine, this is my configuration: http://screencast.com/t/srlMns1GZo – http://screencast.com/t/rojWLujV The result: http://screencast.com/t/xtaPiLaod9Yq
Also I’ve found lots of errors in browser’s console, when I inspect your post. This may affect the block’s functionality, so please try to deactivate all plugins, except Visual Composer, clear all caches and test again.

Thanks!

OK, there is some light at the end of the tunel! I have found this plugin that works almost as I want: https://wordpress.org/plugins/posts-in-page/installation/

By using the shortcode [ic_add_posts ignore_sticky_posts=’no’] paste on a plain text box at Visual Composer, all sticky posts are shown!

The only if is that the post does not show the post thumb! Please TagDiv, can you adapt this plugin to your theme and include it as a solution for this issue? Please??

You might start with the docs — see link right side of this page … which has a tutorial on how the home page is setup, how the modules work, etc.

Good overview of how Visual Composer works:

Like many page-builder related setups, you actually edit the “page” which has been set as the static home page; then the page builder options on that “page” let you change stuff like which category is loaded into a block, move things around in a column (move a block up or down, etc.).

So, find the “page” being set as static home page – a normal WP setup.

Then on that page launch the Visual Composer, and go to the block element you want to edit, and then change the settings from that block in side the visual editor.

I didn’t design the website so I don’t know to much about Visual Composer pagebuilder. Essentially, I’m hoping to figure out how to edit which categories are seen on the starting page.

I have looked through the theme panel, I see the category tab but not seeing the option I need.

as i said in my post, i already did that and the version of visual composer that i just downloaded is 4.6.2.

do you not supply upgrades to 4.7.1 at this time?

if not, is there a fix to trying to get the fb plugin to display on the page?

Likely best way to see what modules are in the theme is to setup a blank “page” and then launch Visual Composer and look at all the modules — you can load content from any category you want like /articles/ — as we do on one of our websites which is a magazine and has no “news” — e.g., book/movie reviews, fiction, health articles, etc.

Pages are not posts — “pages” are typically referential like “about us” or “privacy” — and “Posts” can be anything from news to articles or fiction or whatever — so you can build layouts in VC to load content by topic from any category — build one section with fiction, build one section with lifestyle, build one section with music reviews — that’s all up to you.

Easy to play with, even build multiple different home page versions and test them by turning one on/off and asking staff to evaluate, etc.

See the theme docs for examples of different modules and “blocks” — and how you might use different ones in your layout; look at the example sites from users; look at the theme demos — all of that can be great idea starters for your layouts!

example of different “block” layouts which can be mixed and matched on your home page layout:

Hope that helped a little 🙂

A good place to start with Newsmag is with the theme docs; see right side of page; this covers things like the tested-bundled version of Visual Composer:
