I had to install update via FTP, and then manually install the VisualComposer.

The best way to upgrade is found on the ThemeForest changelog for the theme.

When you say “removed and installed again from the theme plugin request.”

Does this mean I should delete the plugin then when WP says the plugin is missing I upload from the new theme folder?

Does not really help. Same problem here. The files are in the folder at the FTP, everything as described but the mobile view seems not to work.

How to update plugin, I have Envato WordPress Toolkit but it still shows there is a update for visual composer.

Thank you

/public_html/wp-content/plugins/js_composer

go to the folder above take the plugin files you get from the
js_composer.zip in the download from themeforest and overwrite the files on your hosting server. You may need to unzip them and put them in a folder first.

You do this with you ftp client. I use filezilla. It is free just google it.

@jim What do you mean “FTP overwrote the js_composer plugin folder”? I am having the same problem. Currently reverting to the old version of that plugin

I figured it out. Just FTP overwrote the js_composer plugin folder.

Well, with a dedicated server with 12 cores (XEON), and 32GB of ECC RAM, RE4 RAID 5, blah blah, we should be able to generate images locally using image tools already on board the system (e.g., ImageMagick, old GD Libs etc.).

For our purposes creating external accounts to handle image creation and placement across multiple news portals is needlessly complex for our needs if we can do it “on site.”

So right now we have a plugin which will create a local “thumbnail set” per theme and media sm/med/lg, and then set featured image from both locally hosted ftp images inserted via relative URL (not using media manager) and will post to media manager; will do the same with external images placed inline, but pulled from the main news hub (not locally hosted); and will also not interfere with locally created articles which have images uploaded via media manager and placed inline at top and flush right within body text.

Testing the next step, which is separate element/task which takes the featured image set either automatically or manually, and then creates the zoomed/cropped/enlarged versions and saves to media location so that theme can pull that size for the featured images on category pages and home page. This also uses the server side built-in image processing horsepower without any external I/O.

Once posted images are further optimized by mod_pagespeed and cached server side.

Stay tuned 🙂
I am testing this momentarily, in fact (Fri. May 2, 2014).
Expect either happy face or frowny face once I try this.

Also installing upgrades to our ecom system which is always a barrel of monkeys (for those of you old enough to remember that). 🙂

@Donkified You bought something and are having a unique issue (One that hasn’t been mentioned anywhere on this forum or the comments on Envato) that Marius has generously offered to fix for you (Theme installation and setup is not a free service included with theme purchase). You have declined him access for a first hand look. I’ve done this kind of support before and first-hand is the fastest way to get it done. Relying on an inexperienced blog owner (No offense intended at all) to give programming details is always slow, frustrating, and barely eventually as effective as just looking at the code.

So yeah, CHILL OUT A BIT…

chill out? im chilled out. I bought something, it doesnt work, i want it fixed. Simples.

Marius offered to fix it more than once, you declined. Let him help. Otherwise…

As far as the white screen loading, Newspaper is a website them, not a WordPress admin theme. So if it’s going white on the backend it’ll either give you an error at the top of the screen in black text that you need to share with us here or there is a plugin conflict that’s causing this. Your site and this theme have been given major upgrades over the past month so a plugin not playing nice with everything is not only possible, it’s likely.

1. Deactivate and delete the Newspaper theme
2. Deactivate and delete all plugins
3. Re-install 3.9 from Dashboard -> Upgrades menu
4. Do NOT use FTP for the above instructions – use WordPress if at all possible
5. If you have to use FTP, make sure your client is in binary transfer mode before you upload anything
6. With only Jetpack and Akismet plugins (If you use them) installed or activated on the site, activate Newspaper
7. Test drive the site and see if it all works.
8. REPORT FINDINGS BACK HERE

Short of you correctly following those instructions you will need to let Marius on your site to fix the issue with your site (Thousands of other people using this theme without this issue means it is localized to your setup).

Make sure you are downloading the WordPress installable theme file from your Envato downloads panel and do not change the name or file extension. This theme does take longer to install on the WordPress theme installer – that’s normal. Every theme is a different size and themes with less than 30% of the features of Newspaper are obviously smaller files.

Make sure you have WordPress 3.9 installed!

You purchased this theme from Marius (tagDiv team member). Please make this easier and take his FREE help and give him access to your site. Others have done it and been very pleased with his work. He doesn’t make his living from the rest of us if he scams you.

BTW – I’m not with tagDiv, just another customer like you with a background in programming and design trying to help. The fact that other customers are speaking up for the theme and trying to help you says a lot! Think about it.

Showbiz this theme won’t even work on my live preview, and when i activate it everything is blank and i have to delete the theme in FTP – so I have a feeling something is missing in the download alright ( maybe the stylesheet but im not too well up on all this stuff).

Marius I can wait until tomorrow no problem, but i dont want to give ftp access. I can wait a day i understand- get some sleep, but if we can’t fix this I’ll need my money back.

i think there is a problem with the download, maybe you could email me a theme in a zip folder or something. I have a funny feeling there is no style sheet in the download.

Anyway, talk to you tomorrow

More information.

After installing the theme via ftp as above, and it not working, i deleted it from inside the wordpress dashboard and the whitescreen came up saying

Cheatin’ uh?

The theme did delete ok though
