After updating Newspaper to the latest version, I’m receiving the following error on my website homepage.
Can you recommend a way to fix this?
Fatal error: Call to undefined function vc_column_offset_class_merge() in /public_html/d-fraud.com/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/vc_templates/vc_column.php on line 22
There is very specific instruction in the theme documentation available on this site for updating from an older version to v6/v6.1. It includes methods by which certain parts have to be removed and then new replacement installed. Be sure to follow those exactly. You cannot simply update the Visual Composer, for example, by uploading the new plugin over the old one. The old one has to be deactivated and fully deleted before uploading the new version in most cases.
There are multiple ways to do some of the steps listed in the upgrade documentation, so it’s tempting to use the method you know best that usually gets you the end result desired. Don’t give into familiarity. Follow the instructions precisely. They’re specific for good reason.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
That did help. Thanks.
The problem is, I think I’ve jumped a couple of versions while updating. Where can I find the older versions of Newspaper? They aren’t listed on Themeforest. Is there any specific way to roll-back?
Hi,
Please make sure that you have updated the theme properly using this guide – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-update-the-theme-2/ Also make sure that you use the latest version of Visual Composer, install and activate it from here – http://screencast.com/t/sICGwGTQXQTh and check the version – http://screencast.com/t/pSDK3ooFurWV If you need to update the Visual Composer plugin, please remove the old plugin and update the latest version.
Also you can find the old version of the theme in the package that you have downloaded from themeforest in /old folder – http://screencast.com/t/ZvCaPuTYQ
Thanks!
Solved. Thanks a ton!
