Just updated the js-composer plugin following the directions from:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
My Visual composer is still broken, showing the exact same behaviors as before: Trying to drag an column item bugs it out.
Should I update the entire theme instead?
Theme docs also helpful
https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
Yes; you can update the plugin by itself.
Theme docs are super useful also:

Okay… we have a problem here, too.
With theme v 1.31 and WordPress 4.1, all plugins off except Visual Composer, and mod_pagspeed off, we’re seeing a problem with an example review page, here:
http://ga-ga.com/1890/book-review-people-deserve-a-fighting-chance/
when tested with the Google rich test tool,
https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?q=http%3A%2F%2Fga-ga.com%2F1890%2Fbook-review-people-deserve-a-fighting-chance%2F
the preview does not show the rating; although this does show in middle of the lineup
Item 2
type: http://schema.org/rating
property:
worstrating: 1
bestrating: 5
ratingvalue: 4.6
also showing the
Error: Page contains property “maincontentofpage” which is not part of the schema.
Very odd that the first schema hatom-feed also includes a “bookmark” element, which appears to be the first “related posts” item below author bio and social media elements, almost as if something from either the bio box or the summary for review is causing a grouping. There is a copyright symbol in the author bio, and there is a $ in the summary for price of book.
Very odd since conversely this page from the “demo” has no issue
http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/td-post-baby-is-totally-delighted-by-his-first-taste-of-solid-food/
when comparing the two, the section on the hatom-feed is very different, and no “rdfa-node” box.
MOST NOTABLY for our own page, this important section is not fully fleshed out:
Item
type: http://schema.org/review
Very odd.

Will proceed with activating Yoast WordPress SEO next.
do it via ftp program like filezilla and it should work. you need to replace the new files in the “plugins/js_composer” folder.
I tried to update WPBakery Visual Compose and the following error occurred:
“To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your Visual Composer”
Question: Do I need to buy an extra license for WPBakery Visual Compose to use the Newspaper theme?
Thank you for your response.

SOLVED / SOLUTION
I figured it out,
1- redownload the theme from your themeforest account first and unzip the folder on your desktop.
2- Then login to wordpress and deactivate then delete the plugin Visual Composer.
3- Now in wordpress click on install plugin, brows to the theme folder on your desktop and look in the plugins folder for the the Visual Composer zip and select it.
4- Once uploaded and installed, activate and thats it!
I managed to enable the envato auto update, which updated the theme. Unfortunately Visual Composer: Page Builder did not update! only the theme
Just found an easy solution. Update the theme to v4.6.1. Latest version of Visual Composer module (4.35) is included in this update.
Hi I purchased the newspaper Theme which included Visual Composer: Page Builder for WordPress as part of the package. Recently Visual Composer: Page Builder released an update, howver a valid licence key is required to update. is TAGDIV providing the key so we can update?
Anyone else had this problem?
I can confirm that the Visual Composer update does fix the drag and drop issue. And yes I do have a license to Visual Composer.
well i ran the update over the ftp, but visual composer plugin is still asking for an update..
did i do somethig wrong or should i disable and delte the plugin Visual composer before i ran the update?
thx
You can look at the changelog from the “all files” download file; primarily it’s a download today to provide the fix for Visual Composer which broke with the launch of WordPress 4.1.
The theme cannot auto-update via WordPress as it’s a commercial theme, not hosted at the WordPress.org theme system.
It works for me in IE8 on Windows XP.
However, this was with WordPress 4.01 and not the latest 4.1 released yesterday and last version of Visual Composer.
It’s possible WP 4.1 added something which would cause the theme not to work, or it could be related to the bugs in Visual Composer related to WP 4.1 — have you updated your copy of Visual Composer to the NEW version of VC released today 11.19.14 from the theme download for Newsmag? That might fix it.
And Visual Composer updated again after that.
There is already another update of Visual Composer. 🙂
From the update released today, the changelog shows 1.3 to 1.3.1 is the result of:
[ V 1.3.1 ]
– updated visual composer to V 4.3.5 (this version of the plugin is compatible with WordPress 4.1)
I actually already own the plugin separate from the theme. I’ve already updated the plugin to its newest version as well. I did this early this morning in fact.
I just want to clarify that there was nothing else updated outside of the plugin as I’m currently deep in customizing the theme for my live website, which will replace the current version of the theme already in use on my site hopefully by Monday. If in fact there were no additional updates/changes, I plan to just change the name of the style.css file from 1.3 to 1.3.1 since it wouldn’t make sense to re-upload the files only to write over my edits (yes, I’m using a Child theme).
Thoughts?
Hi,
In my WordPress admin it’s now showing that this new version is available but when I try to download it takes me to Codecanyon and indicates I’ll need to pay $28 for this.
Two questions:
Will Newspaper continue to work with version 4.3.4 which was supplied with Newspaper.
Will you be providing version 4.3.5. free and if so when and how?
Thanks
Derek
