WPBakery plugin still not updated

Hello,

I have version 10.3.9 – I read that in 10.3.7 there was an update: “We’ve updated the WPBakery plugin to the latest version”

However, I am still getting this message:
“There is a new version of WPBakery Page Builder available. View version 6.4.2 details. Automatic update is unavailable for this plugin. To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit settings to activate your WPBakery Page Builder. Got WPBakery Page Builder in theme?”

Any way to get the new version or update it through the theme? (Which I thought was supposed to happen?)
-Thanks,
SHaw

Hi
NB! I had a WPBakery plugin installed but not activated. I deleted the plugin and the vulnerability went away. The built in version into Newspaper works fine and gives no security problem.

ManageWP is showing a Vulnerability problem. Gives this message.

WPBakery Visual Composer v4.11.2
WPBakery Page Builder < 6.4.1 – Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

I have updated the Newspaper theme to 10.3.9.1 in the backend of WordPress and expected WPBakery to also be updated to a version that does not contain a vulnerability problem.

When do you plan on updating WPBakery?
It is updated along with the theme.

Hey Vlad

I wrote the above post and instead of removing the whole post I made some adjustments. I had installed an older version of WPBakery plugin thinking I had to do so for the theme to work correctly. I deactivated the WPBakery plugin on a dev site and noticed that is did not affect the layout of the site.

I deactivated the WPBakery plugin on the live site and no change happened to the layout, because it looks like WPBakery is packed into the theme.
So I went ahead and removed the older WPBakery plugin from the installed plugin screen and when the plugin was removed the vulnerability issue also went away.

Bottom line is. Do not have a seperate plugin for WPBakery active when the Newspaper theme is in use. Because WPBakery is baked/integrated into the theme.

Which means the last comment and this comment is just meant as information for whomever comes across it. There is not actionable item for support to handle.
Meaning the issue can be closed.

Thanks for being there!
