NO LICENSES FOUND

Bought your theme and after activated it and went to install –> required <– plugins it shows me on the screen that NO LICENSES FOUND! WTF?

And when I try to update plugins. An error occurred while updating WPBakery Visual Composer: To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your Visual Composer.

And visual Compsers says that to activate visual composer I need to pay more money. WTF is going on? I paid almost 100 dollars for theme and now I need to pay for required plugins one by one again? What sort of scam it is?

Also tried this 2 years old post -> How to: update Visual Composer by Emil G
Nothing, it still telling me to activate it.

And Mobile theme plugin is not in plugins folder.

I’m really the first person who noticed the documentation is not up to date?

There is no need to activate any plugins included with the theme. All included plugins are licensed to the developers and sublicensed to you if you use them with the theme. Any new versions of the plugins will be provided in the theme package whenever the theme is updated on ThemeForest. There is no scam involved.

Also, to find the Mobile Theme, you need to download the theme package from ThemeForest, and then unpack it to a folder. Inside that folder you will find another folder called “plugins”.
The mobile theme is to be installed as a plugin from that folder. You will want to install and activate in WordPress the “td-mobile-plugin”.

The problem is that notifications tells me to activate plugin. Also I have now some not updated plugins and get notifications on dashboard and via email that please update your plugin. And I can’t update that plugin. It’s kind of annoying now. For temp solution I switched all reports off. So it would be nice to have as soon as possible some solution to get rid of that problem.

There is no such thing as “td-mobile-plugin”, that’s why I asked, all other plugins I installed that way, but that one I was not able to install because I do not have it. that’s why I asked where it is, because it’s not there where documentation saying it is and other plugins are.

@Edragon
I think you got seriously lost someplace.

When you go to ThemeForest, on the downloads page, you can choose multiple options including “all files and theme” or just “the theme.”

As stated, you need to download the main “all files” zip and then unzip that on you hard drive.

In there is a folder called plugins, which clearly contains
1) revolution_slider_5
2) js_composer.zip
3) td-mobile-plugin.zip
4) td-social-booster.zip
5) td-speed-booster.zip

I assure you it is there as thousands of other people here can attest.

You don’t need to ‘update’ the Visual Composer plugin just because an update is available; as it might not be tested to work properly with theme. So VC is only updated when the entire theme package is updated, unless you buy your own VC license separately. So once you install the version included with theme, you don’t need to ‘activate’ it with WP Bakery; but I’m guessing that is not your issue if you didn’t even locate the plugins folder.

## here is the readme from the td-mobile-plugin, once you unzip that folder:

Welcome to the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin

TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin extends our themes to offer you a better experience on mobile devices. We are in a continue research
in our work, doing our best for fitting your needs, and because the mobile environment is growing up quickly,
and also your expectations, we come to you with a mobile theme that has been tested to load fast using only the necessary components.

The mobile templates files are in the ./mobile theme directory, the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin detecting and working with them.
From the Mobile Theme section of our well known theme panel, all important mobile theme settings can be set.

Without activating the TagDiv Mobile Theme plugin, the responsive version of our theme is used on mobile devices.

###

ALSO, from the theme docs here for install via FTP, it does tell you to download the -tf version of the zip (all files):

Install via FTP

You can install the theme in two ways: through WordPress or via FTP.

The Newspaper WordPress Theme installable file is Newspaper.zip. Please see the following sections for each method and watch our video tutorial on how to install the Newspaper Theme.

Download the Newspaper files from your ThemeForest account. Navigate to your Downloads tab on ThemeForest and find Newspaper. Click the Download button.
On your local computer extract the ZIP folder called Newspaper-tf. After extracting files you will open the folder called Newspaper-tf where you will find more folders (child-theme, documentation, licensing, plugins, psd).
Locate the Newspaper.zip in the Newspaper-tf folder (this is the theme you want to install).

good luck and welcome to the giant Newspaper family of users here — I’ve been lurking here since end of 2013 ! 🙂

1. If I wrote that this folder does not contain these plugins/folders then it means that it does not contain these plugins. Maybe you should go and download latest version and check it yourself first?

2. About activation and update. Let me explain again. One is SHOUTING AT ME ALL TH ETIME that I need to activate it. And another is showing everywhere that it need to be updated. And our group will receive SPAM notifications about problem with our website because there is not updated plugin. I was forced to disable reports at the moment <- this is not solution. There should be solution to update that plugin and get rid of these notifications and reports!!!!!!
