Search Results for 'update'

You need to install the latest Visual Composer version bundled with the theme. This was the purpose of the minor update for the theme which came a day or two after 4.1 was released.

See the site docs right side of page on how to update Visual Composer. Lots of other great help for the theme, too.

Thank you for your reply. How to update? I think i got the latest version. It is showing on safari and chrome browsers. PLease check again. Thanks

Look at the theme docs, right side of the page.

Great place to start to learn using this theme.

Best place to find BBpress support is on the BBpress site/forum, as BBpress is designed to work with all themes, and so the compatibility with WP 4.1 is likely due to BBP needing update:

See – https://bbpress.org/forums/

Themes
bbPress 2.x plugin for WordPress has built-in theme support. All required elements such as front-end editing are included. This means that all functionality will work, even when a theme has no specific bbPress templates or code included with it. To get started customizing bbPress see Theme Compatibility.

Theme Compatibility

Codex Home → Theme Compatibility

bbPress 2.x has built-in theme support. All required elements such as front-end editing are included. This means that all functionality will work, even when a theme has no specific bbPress templates or code included with it.

All bbPress compat can be overridden using a theme or another plugin. Check bbp-theme-compat template wrappers for what a normal theme should include.

To customize bbPress:
The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.
•The “bbpress” directory contains template parts. Copy any of them into a directory named “bbpress” in your themes root, so it looks like: /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/bbpress/
•The “extras” directory contains optional root level page templates, to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the root of your theme. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/
•The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/
•Basically, you could copy the entire ‘bbpress’ and ‘css’ directories out of bbPress’s default template directory, and into your theme, and bbPress will use the ones located inside your theme instead. Pretty neat, eh?

If I try to install visual composer via the instructions on this link

https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

I get this error message

Fatal error: Class ‘TGM_Bulk_Installer’ not found in /home/katsdeli/public_html/review/wp-content/themes/Newsmag/includes/wp_booster/external/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php on line 1578

Thanks.

how to send the link to you in private?

also, can you help to update the breadcrumb to make sure it support CPT. I think many will need that.

Thanks

@Chris S,

I appreciate the comment. Despite being well versed in all things WordPress (after using it for roughly five years now) and understanding how to work the system, the Revolution Slider issue came about because I made the mistake of not seeing that particular plugin on the list of installed plugins as it was similar in name to another plugin I was using. However, the version of Revolution Slider that has been reported to have had issues and caused something like this for many sites was never active on my site. In fact, I’ve only ever had the latest versions of it on my site, and that was only since late October, when I was working with two other themes from another widely used theme provider before finally settling on Tagdiv via Newmag late last month.

Note: I’ve never had the plugin installed outside of themes since I don’t own an independent license and don’t plan on buying one at this point even if the plugin is the best selling in the history of the world on Themeforest.

There are many others who’ve reported that they have in fact upgraded or only used the latest version of Revolution Slider and they also had this happen to them. Clearly the developer still has some issues to work out even though they deny this being a new issue: https://www.facebook.com/themepunchofficial/photos/a.241115412711464.1073741828.241098529379819/386921181464219/

Not sure how an issue they claim to have fixed in February in the link provided turned into a massive issue with developers, users, etc in September to the point that the plugin couldn’t be sold until the plugin maker provided another new updated version that fixed issues.

Whoops, there I am on my own soapbox as well, lol. 🙂

Yes. You can ignore that.

1) the version included with theme is bundled version – please see the site docs which are super useful in understanding how to use this theme: (see link right side of this page!)
https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/

2) the version included with theme may not be the exact latest version, and so there may be times when you see a note that new version is available; however you cannot update as you don’t have a separate license, but a bundled license which is updated with each theme update. The bundled version does not need license, but is only updated with theme as it must be tested for compatibility with the theme custom functions and some custom modules.

UPSHOT: You can ignore the note about needing an update — you don’t have to update, it’s just telling you there is one.

The latest version for the theme, is found as part of the theme download on Theme Forest in the plugins folder for the theme.

(NOTE: TagDiv have tried to included code which stops the “nag” from appearing, but it doesn’t seem to always work, hence why you might or might not see notice about “update available.” But, see the theme docs!)

The visual composer keeps showing up as needing to be updated from 4.3.4 to 4.3.5, when I try to update it I receive the message:

“An error occurred while updating WPBakery Visual Composer: To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your Visual Composer.”

Just as FYI, you should delete *all* optional plugin you don’t use for *any/all* WordPress site(s). And don’t activate ANY plugins you don’t actually use (e.g., Jetpack, or Rev Slider – which had a notable security flaw prior to Spring 2014, but is *not* an issue with the version included with Newsmag!). Also evaluate “recommended” “suggested” and “required” as distinct different meanings with plugins that come bundled with themes.

Revolution Slider is a great plugin, used by all kinds of famous and large websites, as well as many WordPress sites. For some themes, it’s as popular as Visual Composer, as it’s one of the top such plugins to do fly-in words and slogans (which show up as SEO text on a home page, on top of images) and things that used to be done with FLASH; so it’s not “bad” inherently, but like all plugins has some caveats that one needs to keep up on and consider possible performance issues. It’s more commonly used with a business, ecommerce or corporate layout and not so much a magazine site. But, of course, not everybody who buys a magazine theme wants to actually do a magazine.

Yoast WordPress SEO has had some bugs from time to time. WordPress core has had major security flaws (one of our sites and Al Gore’s website got hacked the same day, back in the day before Automattic got “big” and became more security fanatical); technically WordPress 3.9x was hackable under certain circumstances.

But, I’ll take WP over Drupal any day of the week. I still chuckle when the folks who were making Drupal made such a big deal about open source, better than WordPress, we’ll change the world, etc., and then the “get Firefox” website running on Drupal was famously hacked and defaced. “Oh yeah, we should consider security, too.” … um, duh!

So, good idea to keep up to date on what is going on with plugins. Some are just maintenance releases (e.g., Visual Composer does update because everybody wants a module with blah + blah; doesn’t NEED to be installed). Some updates fix flaws or because a WP update BREAKS the pugin/theme/other plugins in some way (e.g., WP 4.1).

With WordPress – full dot revisions (3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2) bring changes you should double check for plugin compatibility before commit. WP minor dot revisions almost always should be done (e.g., 4.01, 4.02, etc.) as these often have security patches and fixes, and this is easy to look at from the WordPress.org site on WHAT was updated.

Sorry, didn’t mean to get on a soapbox on Christmas morning. 🙂

Happy Holidays to all! 🙂

As noted previously if you’re missing functions of the actual theme, including the “Newsmag Default” sidebar, then you likely have one of the two cases:
1) conflicting plugin
2) theme not updated properly.

for 1) try turning off all plugins except VC, clearing all caches
for 2) delete existing theme folder; install clean version of theme

Only reason something part of the theme is “not there” is
a) something blocking loading elements in admin panel, typically plugin with bad behavior
b) theme missing components due to incomplete install.
c) broken cache loading old files not seeing new files (common with some cache plugins, or CDNs)

Simple as that. 🙂

Happy Holidays!

Hi, you can check my website, just finish to update with Newsmag! http://www.gravure-idols.com

Marius, thank you for support and such a detailed screenshots!

However regarding the 2-nd question you didn’t understand me – I meant that the arrow (not a square, but the arrow therein) somehow didn’t display in my site (http://predprinimatel.kg). How to make it appear?

With regard to the rest questions – could you please explain how to do that in the Child Theme? So that it doesn’t disappear after the next theme update. Which code have I add into the functions.php file?

Thanks,
Kanybek

You likely need to clear site cache, cdn cache if using them.

Try reinstalling the theme and visual composer.

Theme works with all browsers.

Wordpress 4.1 broke visual composer, hence theme update with updated vc version.

Remember you need to fully delete old version of vc before updating it.

If site not loading and you cannot fix, why not switch to default theme?

Hello.

Visual Composer plugin is NOT updated to 4.3.5.on my Themeforest Account. I downloaded 2-3 times and every time it is the old version: 10.09.2014 – ver 4.3.4 – Thanks for your help.
