this morning WordPress update to WordPress 4.5.1. this themes support it? 😀
hi – i’m trying to install the latest version of visual composer as it has stopped working on the site…i have followed the tutorial offered here https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/
but as when i get to step 4, where i need to choose the file, the only window that opens up is to my desktop, where i only have the old version. how do i access the new version from this pop up window that appears when i click the ‘choose file’ button as instructed?
many thanks
Hi,
Could you tell me where exactly I need to modify the colours and the fonts in the CSS. I can go ahead and do this but to find exactly where this is would be very difficult. I know its some where near td-header-menu-wrap-full but I cant seem to find where that is. If you could help me out I will permanently change the CSS and font as we wont be changing it. I will also need to know where this is if we update the theme and the changes get reverted.
Thanks,
Gordon
For those of you who are using a custom image directory, and who had followed the old docs on the WordPress.org site for adding the directive in your functions.php file; you may notice your images can’t be found after WP 4.5 update, and here is the reason:
just found this on client site,
they had in functions:
define(UPLOADS, 'images');
with WP 4.5 it MUST be like so:
define('UPLOADS', 'images');
Prior versions of WP allowed the missing ” — new version does not.
For anybody pulling their hair out on this one, that’s the reason.
Will only impact those of you who changed the default directory from /uploads/ to /myimagefolder/ such as outside the /wp-content/ folder, as we tend to do here.
SO … there you are ! Hope it helps somebody in their travels.

Hi Andrei,
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it but that didn’t have any effect.
I’ve just received an email stating that my site has been updated to wordpress 4.5.1 I don’t know how because I’m not even on auto update, maybe this is a spam message that’s doing the rounds?
Anyway, I’ve gone back to the site to try and login and now I’m not able to access the login page, I get the following error
Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Headers and client library minor version mismatch. Headers:50530 Library:50623 in /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1520
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php:1520) in /home/unplugti/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171
Any ideas????
Many thanks

Hi all,
I just realised my pageview counter has been running incorrectly for some time and does not represent actual page views.
Is it possible to manually update this retrospectively?
Thank you for the quick reply and your candid feedback. We were finally able to get VC 4.11.2.1 to update manually and needed to reload both Newspaper and the child theme we created, so we have a temporary fix.
I understand that running the update will be both helpful and painful, needing to rebuild certain pages and elements, so I think we’re moving ahead with that over the next few weeks. Wondering if there is anywhere that outlines the benefits/improvements in Version 6 over Version 4, so I am better able to explain the value of making the extra effort? I see extra flexibility in block and module layouts, better stability and design, etc. Would appreciate a link or direction to a couple of forum posts (?) which might give a more complete outline. Saw the link to update process so pretty sure we can figure it out.
Hope all is well with you guys!
Hi,
In my website http://www.tycoonzfitness.com/ , you can see facebook social counter showing 0 like. However, I’ve 60+ likes. But at website it is showing 0 like. I’ve completed the whole procedure of app completion with security key. But the problem is not going to solve. The google plus and twitter is working fine but the problem is just with facebook counter.
Perhaps I’m missing something or tell me the use of access code that I got after pressing the ‘get access code’ button, in widgets of wp-admin. Please tell me how to get rid off this issue.
My theme and visual composer is updated.
FB page is https://www.facebook.com/tycoonzfitness

I have several workarounds like using an old Facebook developer account I created for a different site or editing the plugin for the time being, but I’m just bringing it to their attention as their plugin will have to be updated. You can’t create a new app in the Facebook developer console without being forced to use version 2.6 of their API.
Sure, @garridod, glad to help.
The way that’s supposed to work is that it figures out what’s normal in learning mode so the firewall doesn’t block your theme and plugins from working. So keep it in learning mode for a week or so, be sure to update themes settings a few times (don’t think it matters if you change anything, as long as you save settings and trigger that action a few times), then when learning mode is off again, it should work fine.
If that doesn’t fix it, then you need to contact Wordfence developer about learning mode not seeing the theme.
Hi
I lost the Visual Composer functionality for all my site. I need it. I have 4.4.2 version an the last update of your theme. I was checking and I have the right access at Visual Composer.
Can you help me please.
Hi
This issue was caused by the new version of WP. Please update your theme using this guide:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ and then update visual composer to the latest version using this one: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan B.
I have updated theme to 6.7.1 and Visual Composer to 4.11.2 and everything seems great at beginning.
But the visual composer could out of function suddently when the last second still works well, and the same situation happens to media library.
I already try to disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files but problems still happen. I might need you to inspect my back-end and I just sent an email to confirm my request to you.
My email is seriescoffee@gmail.com
Thanks!
Best Regards

Hi,
Unfortunately we are unable to offer any advice for this. You will eventually have to grab the bull by the horns and update to newspaper 6 as more and more elements will stop working with your version. Right now, your visual composer is not working, your social counter’s facebook is not working and more and more elements will start to break in time as facebook, wordpress, visual composer all advance and get update while your theme stays the same version.
You can downgrade wordpress if you want to buy a bit more time.
http://dominiquej.com/how-to-downgrade-wordpress-to-previous-version/
We are aware of all the changes made from newspaper 4 to newspaper 6, and that it might take a bit of time to re-create some of the pages and elements on your site and we are sorry for the inconvenience, but we will try to assist in any way we can if you make this decision.
Hope this helps.
Thank you!
Hello,
There is a conflict between older version of visual composer and the new version of wordpress, but we have no reports of the media library breaking upon updating WP.
Please update your theme to the latest version and make sure you update visual composer as well by following these guides:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/
https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/
If the problem is still there after you update, then please also try it without plugins. Disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi,
You do not have to buy anything. Updates are free both for the theme and visual composer. If visual composer asks for you to buy it, simply ignore the message as we are the ones providing it as this process is required so we can test the released versions before including them in the theme.
Thank you!
Hi
The theme is tested and shouldn’t be any issues with its functionality if the install was made correct and there is no additional code which may affect it. Usually these errors appear when the child theme is active and there is some code which does not work anymore with new theme’s version.
Regarding the code from child theme there is an important aspects that must be considered if you’re using it:
– if in previous theme’s version a specific code added in child theme worked fine that doesn’t mean that will work with the new theme version. When theme is updated many of its files are changed and it’s a good practice to check update_log.txt file for each update and see what files had been modified so if those specific files are used in the child theme you will have to check your customizations to not break the functionality of the theme.
Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi
Theme’s functionality regarding block usage wasn’t changed in last update so the trending now block can be set as I’ve indicated in my previous reply. Just make sure that all elements are added in Visual Composer: http://screencast.com/t/llbUSvSnEoC9
Thanks!
Hi,
This may be due to the fact that I updated the theme and now Visual composer requires activation?
Hola! Would you like to receive automatic updates and unlock premium support? Please activate your copy of Visual Composer.
Ran the WordPress 4.5 update and of course the site went down due to the Visual Composer issue. We’re running Newspaper 4 and found that VC no longer worked. Tried to deactivate and crashed the site and corrupted the theme. Was able to manually update via FTP to Visual Composer 4.11.2.1 so site is live again. All elements were deleted from all sidebars so we need to build them again, but finding that widgets overlap due to Visual Composer shortcodes in place without ability to edit using Visual Composer.
Wondering if there is any way to get any version of Visual Composer working with Newspaper 4? Can’t figure out how to “downgrade” to previous WordPress version so would prefer to make VC active again. Would appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks!
Hello, ever since we updated WordPress to version 4.5 we have had access issues to the media library. It became apparent to our developers that when they changed themes to WordPress’ standard 2016 theme the media library worked. We would be grateful for support.

As you can see the loader keeps on spinning, therefor us not being able to access the media library.

Sending an email now to you Catalin. Just out of curiosity, I went to update the theme and it says that I’m up-to-date so I’m guessing I have to buy the update is that correct. If so, how do I go about doing this.
Hello Mylo,
I have checked your website and I saw that you are using an older version of the theme (Newspaper v.4.6.2) and also, you are using the latest version of WordPress (v.4.5) and the latest version of Visual Composer (v.4.11.2) Please notice that the older version of our theme is not tested with the latest version of WordPress and Visual Composer and you can have some issue through theme. In the future, I suggest updating your theme to the latest version because the theme is all the time in changing and require to have the latest updates or if you do not want this, you should not update nor the plugins to avoid the eventual issues in this regard.
In this case, please make a test page with your issue, do all the settings for your image and then please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so I can further inspect your setup page. Also, please explain your problem on your test page so I can saw where is the issue. Also, please provide the link of this topic so we can know who you are and what the issue is.
Thank you for your understanding!
Thank you, problem solved. I am update the visual composer plugin, then work correctly.
