Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how we can recover to the regular page builder in visual Composer.
Everything was working fine. And one day it all stopped. Here is the url to the screen shot.
This is the screen we see and makes moving the blocks around very dificult.

Double Bump. Same problem – thanks for posting first. I think it started before this update for me.

Triple. Here is the same problem, and yes, you re right – @blujimbo. It started before latest update. Visual composer not working, just loading and loading. Backend editor is not showing at all. Plugin is up to date (Visual C), and there was not some new plugins installed on my site.
Please give us some answers fast. Thanks

a) make sure you update VC plugin properly by
— delete old folder in /plugins/
— upload NEW updated js-composer plugin folder via FTP into your plugins folder
b) log-in to your theme
c) clear web browser cache completely
d) clear transients with wp-optimze
e) launch visual composer
f) if your page shows [code] try preview then ‘save’ without making changes
g) read up on changes to Visual Composer in case *they* decided to deprecate/retire some feature, which no longer works and will leave an empty space or reveal dead shortcode — only option is to remove old dead shortcode, and rebuilt that element

and it goes without saying you should ALREADY have increased your default memory for WP to 96MB or more in your wp-config.php file to even use VC at all!

VC is nice to have drag and drop, but it’s a tricky little bastard… er … little fellow.

If you get white screen of death, that’s a whole ‘nuther story.

Good luck!

How did you get VC working again? I’m running 6.6.1 Newspaper Theme and I keep getting a spinning wheel when I use Visual Composer. I’m going to do an update soon, but wondered what you did to fix.

Hi,
You need to make sure you have version 4.11.2 of visual composer. The version in 6.6.1 is not yet updated so you need to update your theme as well.
thank you!
