I updated to VC 5.1 via the Newspaper update that was just released. I did so via FTP; I renamed the old folder js_composer-old, uploaded the new one, deleted the old one, and cleared the cache.
A few things appear to be broken on my site related to VC now, such as this page: https://themedium.ca/archive/
Those are VC TTA tabs. On the backend it looks and works perfectly fine, but on the front end the styling appears to have changed, breaking the tab structure. I’ve disabled all minification and file concatenation while investigating.
I don’t get any console errors on that page in Chrome or Edge. (There’s a deprecated warning in Firefox’s dev tools but nothing serious.)
Hello,
I tested the tabs again but nothing was found. The tabs work exactly like before.
This could be a plugin conflict so please disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it. Please also check any custom code you might have added to the theme panel or the theme files. If you use a child theme, please switch to the main theme to make sure it does not affect the proper functionality of the theme.
Let us know how it goes.
Thank you!
Hi,
Fixed it. Report for others if they encounter this: I narrowed it down to a feature in the popular plugin EWWW Image Optimizer. If the option “Alternative WebP rewriting” is turned on, some VC features break. I’ve reported this to their support and for now can live without that option.
