WP Bakery Visual Composer

I am having a problem with the WP Bakery Visual Composer Plugin. My site went down, and the web server company told me that the crash was due to the WP Bakery Visual Composer Plugin. I’m assuming this was due to an update. But I need that plugin in order for this theme to work. Currently, the plugin is deactivated, but the theme is not working. This is urgent because people are coming to the site. How can I fix this? Thank you.

Additional question, I am under the impression that TD Composer needs Visual composer in order to work, but is that true?

I see now that I cannot edit the home page with TD Composer, so I am assuming that TD Composer requires Visual Composer

TD Composer and Visual Composer are two different things. TD Composer is a lightweight replacement for VC, that uses less resources but may not have all the bells and whistles of VC. It does not need VC to work – two totally different things (both are ‘page builders’ which allow you to drag and arrange elements on a page, such as home page layout).

Normally, you would make a new home page ‘page’ and then edit that new page with TDC, you cannot mix/match the two systems. So, you cannot edit a VC ‘page’ with TDC or vice-versa.

Hope that helped a little bit. This is covered a bit more in the documentation.

Ah, I see – thank you. Could you please take a look at my site: http://thejewishlink.com

I see it’s using VC Composer (which is deactivated) But it also used TD Composer. I need to get the home page back to looking like a proper home page (it used to). What would the solution be here – to create a new home page using just TD Composer? How would I go about doing that?
Thank you!
