WP Bakery plugin no longer being updated?

Hi there,

My client’s site uses the WP Bakery plugin rather that the tagDiv composer. My understanding was that with Newspaper updates, new versions of WP Bakery would be included. But after the most recent update, I checked the WP Bakery version and it is 6.6, released early last year. I also couldn’t locate a copy of the plugin in the plugins folder of a recent Themeforest download.

Please could you clarify whether you have indeed discontinued updating this plugin. If you have, then I could consider getting a licence for WP Bakery, however I am concerned that you may no longer be developing the theme with WP Bakery in mind, but rather focussing on the tagDiv Composer.

I also wanted to read your documentation about moving from WP Bakery to tagDiv but it gives a 404: https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi Bettina,

Thanks for the link, I read the thread. Though it doesn’t really answer my question on whether or not you plan on updating WP Bakery or whether your effors going forward will be exclusively focussed on TagDiv Composer.

Since WP Bakery wasn’t updated for over a year, it seems fair to assume that you will not be updating it any longer, and that I have no choice but to update to the TagDiv Composer since if I leave WP Bakery unupdated, it may become vunerable, and if I get a licence, it may become incompatible with Newspaper.

Could you please advise on how we can make this transition as smooth as possible? As the documentation on migrating gives a 404.
