Hi
you can follow these directions:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/

note you need to DELETE the old theme folder before uploading the new one. When you update themes and plugins you don’t “over write” the old one, you delete old one, and upload the NEW version. Best way is via FTP.

Be sure you have backups of all your files, dbase, etc., so you can “go back” if necessary.

Hope that was slightly helpful.

Try unzipping on your PC, and upload the folder directly via FTP to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder.

Hi

As Chris suggested above make sure that you delete the js_composer folder from /wp-content/plugins deactivate all plugins then try to re-install the plugin from Newsmag-tf.zip\Newsmag-tf\plugins path according to our documentation: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

If the problem persist please send an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin and ftp access so we can take a look, also paste a link to this topic.

Thanks!

You don’t upload the straight download from Envato. You need to extract the zip folder then upload the Newsmag zip. You are getting that error for uploading all of the whole documents and everything in the download not just the theme. You just need to install the theme only zip. So you unzip or winrar or 7zip to extract the download file and then upload the theme.

If you are doing this through the dashboard via theme upload, then above is the way.

If you are doing it via ftp then you unzip the download and then unzip the theme and then upload via ftp unzipped theme folder in the wp-content/themes/theme_folder here unzipped. After that then go to dashboard and activate it.

Best to unzip on your hard drive then FTP to the plugins folder manually; that’s what I do to ensure it always works.

Hello,
Lukas or André or somebody, where is the file in ftp to edit? what´s their name and extension?or in the theme, where i put this code?

thanks!

Generally yes. See the theme docs on how to do updates, as a good starting point.

Since it’s a bundled plugin and not a separate license, you cannot “update” it from the publisher of the plugin or via the WordPress repository as a commercial plugin.

I generally don’t use the Envato toolkit myself as it sometimes breaks things.

FTP is really important to learn to use for WP, as it’s often the only way to do proper backups, edit files, edit htaccess, set permissions, etc.

See the update instructions in the theme docs, right side of page.

ThemeForest themes are not part of the WordPress repository, so they generally need to be updated manually, typically via FTP is best way.

Also some great tutorials online for how to update WordPress themes.

Hello!

I updated Newspaper via Envato Toolkit plugin – Now is Newspaper 6.5, but … Visual Composer is not updated to 4.7.1.1 and is still 4.6.2 version and in my WordPress administration I can’t find out any message about new version of Visual Composer.

Is Visual Composer possible to update only via FTP not via WordPress administration?

Thanks,

Best regards

Basically, just change it.

Be sure the theme is not active; rename theme folder (generally you would do this on your PC/Mac prior to upload via FTP).

For example we change the name of our folder to our news network name.

Just change it from /Newspaper/ to something like /StyleBaron/ or whatever you website name happens to be — be careful NOT to name it the same as a category, post, plugin name, or WordPress function, just to be safe — like, don’t name it VisualComposer for example, or JetPack if you’re using jetpack, is tempting fate! hypehen and underlines can be used, like my-cool-mag … although I’d likely limit to 2 words, no reason you can’t do more.

If using a child theme you likely might need to check the style.css to make sure it points to the right place. I don’t use child themes, so if you don’t then it won’t apply to you either.

There is also an awesome resource called Google for many things like this — WP has been around over 10 years, so this is a very common question you can often answer yourself vs waiting for a reply here — not that anything wrong with that, or looking for pointers here from others who have already done the deed. 🙂
