Visual Composer (no front page editor)

Hello, this is my first time ever trying to build a website, so forgive me if I sound like I don’t know what I am talking about. I downloaded the Newspaper theme and the Visual Composer plugin, and what I noticed was in certain Youtube tutorials, there was an option that people had called “Front page editor”. I do not have that option on my dashboard. I contacted the Visual Composer customer service staff and they sent me this in an email….

“The issue is because there is an inbuilt version of Visual Composer (or the related code) present in your theme which is overriding the standalone plugin version and hence causing the issue. You will have to get rid of it. I would advise you to do so with the help of theme author, otherwise you might loose the extra elements added by him. Once this is done, you can install the standalone plugin and it will work fine. kindly check.”

How do I go about handling this issue?
