Upgrade for newspaper resulting in broken website

Owing to malware attacks, our hosting provider suggested upgrading wordpress and newspaper theme.

Accordingly, upgraded to wordpress 4.9.2 and deleted the previous newspaper theme and added the newspaper version 8.6

But now, unable to edit any page or create a new page.
Neither the Visual Composer nor the tagdiv TD composer work.

Visual composer issue- When I click on add element and then select any element, nothing happens. The Add Element window stays open with all the available element options. Clicking on any element has no effect.

TD Composer- it starts loading, but keeps loading permanently, nothing happens.

Please note that our website is live and this is a critical issue for us. Otherwise we will have to put the website in maintenance mode and move to another theme.

Disable Visual Composer … just use the new TD Composer if you only use ‘pages’ on your site; and you will need to modify to work with the new plugin in some cases.

Or, continue to use VC and disable TDC.

Usually good to do one update at a time — meaning, update WP, and when site is stable THEN do the theme upgrade.

So, in theory, you could roll back theme and keep the WP update which is a security update.

Thanks Chris.

I deleted the theme and disabled visual composer and then installed the theme again. Then I was able to successfully create pages using the TD composer.

Thanks for your help.
