Very Disappointed…

Purchased the Newspaper Theme, installed it but cannot update the Visual Composer as outlined in the forum, when refresh the plugins and I am getting this message;

>>There is a new version of WPBakery Visual Composer available. View version 4.12 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your Visual Composer. Got Visual Composer in theme?<<

Visited the settings page, followed the prompts, but no ‘licenses’ found. Don’t have valid license yet? Purchase Visual Composer license.

Bummer!

Also, tried to activate Slider Revolution, followed the link to Activate Slider Revolution for Premium Benefits. >>You can Enter an existing licence key or Purchase a licence key.<<

When I viewed the online ‘demo’ and viewed the videos, nothing was mentioned that I would have to purchase these extra items – I thought that this theme would be fully functional out of the box.

Kinda deceptive, don’t you agree?

So, bottom line, do I have to purchase these plugins?

Hi,

You don’t have to purchase these plugins: as for the WPBakery Visual Composer, just deactivate it, delete it and then, reinstal lit from the theme plugins tab.

As for the Slider Revolution, it’s packaged inside your Newspaper pack/folder. You can upload and activate it through FTP or, as indicated here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-install-revolution-slider-v5/

deleted and removed and reinstalled….has a nag screen to update again..

I am having the same message displayed but this is only in the plugin section and everything else on there is running perfectly fine.

It is asking me to insert a key code if i want automatic updates, however you will get the updates as TagDiv release the updates for Newspaper.

Hi,

Are you running the Newspaper latest version?

Hi @blogwire

Are you running the Newspaper latest version?

Ignore the nag screens from Visual Composer. TagDiv tries to deactivate those, but the sneaky devils keep working in ways to have it pop up, much like Yoast was inserting settings update notices on first time installs of Yoast, which was dumb. Bundled version of plugin doesn’t need you to register it, insert key, etc., and the VC folks should be baking that in (see what I did there) to the bundled version license, but apparently not.

Upshot – it works. Theme works. But TagDiv cannot control all aspects of some of the bundled elements as those are built but the third parties. Kind of like the aribags in cars from last 10 years (so, am I comparing VC to Takata .. maybe I am, maybe I am not … you decide).

Have a wonderful day in webdev land! 🙂

Did that…the nag pops up again…

Yes, latest.

Can I use a different composer? For example; Page Builder by SiteOrigin?
