so i got an email from envato (oct 11) saying that i should update my visual composer plug-in to 4.7.4… my current plug-in settings show it’s 4.7.1.1 … they gave me instructions (which are pretty inconveniencing on how to do this, since i’m more for automation), but what i don’t get is the link they sent, which takes me to http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 … i can’t download the update there unless i get the plug-in for $34. i just purchasd the newspaper theme less than a month ago and i understand that all updates to plug-ins are included here.

Visual Composer Plugin Update Steps

Log in to codecanyon.net and proceed to download the latest version of Visual Composer to your computer from this URL: http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431
Locate and unzip the downloaded plugin file.
Connect to your server using an FTP client and upload the js_composer directory (from the downloaded zip file) to the wp-content/plugins/ directory. (Note: This will overwrite the old Visual Composer files with the secure versions.)
Log into WordPress and navigate to the Plugins page to confirm the Visual Composer plugin is version 4.7.4
The link to the latest version, provided above, will be live for 3 weeks from the time this email was sent. After this period, you will need to access the latest version via your theme zip file.

Please note: This replaces the existing plugin under the licensing of the theme(s) you’ve purchased and is only licensed for use in these themes.

sidenote: i have a themeforest account and not a code canyon.

Hi

Visual Composer plugin has been updated because of some security vulnerabilities. The 4.7.4 version of the VC plugin, is already available in latest theme version package (6.5.1) so you should make sure you download the latest theme version from your themeforest account, downloads section: http://themeforest.net/downloads then update the Visual Composer plugin: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-visual-composer-plugin/

Thanks!
