Hello guys what should I keep in mind when updating from 6.6 to 8.7? I did some custom coding on home page with Visual Composer, would those changes be lost if I use the new TD composer? This seems like the heaviest change. Anything else I should keep in mind? Thanks!
Hi,
That is quite an old theme version, much has changed since that version. Indeed that would be the thing to note. Once you update the tagDiv composer will be automatically activated. Visual composer elements in pages may not display properly if the tagDiv composer is active. Deactivate it and leave Visual composer (now WP Bakery page builder) active. Update Visual composer and there should be no issues

This is a guide to update the theme

It is always recommended to keep the theme used, theme plugins and WordPress up to date. Updates will improve the functionality in many ways.
If you would then want to use the tagDiv composer, all pages will have to be recreated using it. The pages must only contain elements that belong to it.
Be sure to check if there are sufficient resources allocated for a optimal performance

Check the theme system status and if needed ask your hosting provider to increase those parameters.
Le us know if you encounter any issues and we will try to help you as best we can.
