Hey Catalin,

the “Authors Box” Widget provides a listing of all “authors” registered to a given site (or a subset of roles or the like). The widget is not able to display the information that are shown in the “about the author” area (profile picture and “about the user” text) related to an article or page.

Bogdan stated in another thread that the Nespaper Theme is not able provide this functionality by design and suggests looking for a plugin. Problem is that so far nobody seems to know if there is anything like this at all.

Thanks.

Hey Bodgan,

Thank you for coming back to this.

As I said: Happened despite a complete re-instal for reasons unknown to me.

I recall quite similar issues way back where there were elements that went AWOL and there was a thread:

Hi,

I will add this on our list to be specified in the documentation how to enable all Visual Composer elements, as I see that many users have this issue. Glad that you managed to solve this!

Thanks!

Oh and by the way that nagging VC message persistently staying in the dashboard which I mentioned in the same thread (posting #77430) is STILL there after… I don’t know… 10 updates and at least complete 5 reinstalls of theme and all plugins:

All the best,

Ah,perfect. Thank You.

@Devs: It would be very helpful to point this out in the changelog / instal readme etc. This necessary step is not exactly obvious 🙂

Sincerely,

Thank you very much for the clarification.

May I suggest you put this info somewhere? I guess this might be interesting to others as well.

Happy holidays to you, too!

Plugins have nothing to do with that, we tried that many times. We “fixed” it by hand.

Since this forum keeps ignoring the code-tag and F’ing up code, here is a screenshot of the source in question

Thank you for coming back to this.

We have Newspaper 6.5.1 and the plugins that came along installed. The problem is occuring with Newspaper 6.5.1.

We installed AND updated according to your documentations.

Twice.

Thank You!

I’m glad I could help.

But still: What about that nagging Error-Message in Dashboard? How to get rid of that one?

Hey!

I am another “Frank” but I am experiencing similar problems.

I had VC (full license) installed at my site prior to purchasing Newspaper 6.

We have installed according to the manual (https://forum.tagdiv.com/update-the-visual-composer-plugin-wpbakery/)

We tried several times.

We are constantly having a persistant error message in our dashboard (“Important notice: You have an outdated version of Visual Composer Design Options. It is required to review and save it.”) that we can not get rid of and we are lacking a good number of elements (http://screencast.com/t/B2ExxHCzXQye) from VC. We are missig everything in that screensho after “Masonry Media Grid” (see here: abload.de/img/vctes4b.jpg )

We also tried turning everything off and on again – didn’t help.

For us Visual Composer is only offering the same four Dashboard-options as Frank showed in his screenshot above.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,

Frank B.

Edit.

By pure randum luck while reactivating plugins I hit (in dashboard) “Visual Composer” -> “Settings” and in there by a stroke of sheer luck I accidentaly clicked “user group access rights” -> “Administrator” and guess what? Almost all Newspaper-related items were disabled…

For the persistant Error-Message: that one is still there.

I strpngly suggest adding this to the knowledge-base to check there
