thank you Chris…

I deactivated and deleted the old composer and downloaded newspaper 8 but only uploaded the composer from it…not the complete newspaper 8 update. and it works again.

thank you.
I deactivated and deleted the old composer and downloaded newspaper 8 but only uploaded the composer from it…not the complete update. and it works again.

so i’m using visual composer 4.8.1 in newspaper 6
and up until my last edit of the homepage 2wks ago… it was working fine

no… i didn’t upgrade vc at all.
and i’m still using newspaper 6… i didn’t upgrade to 8

So then I don’t understand why visual composer is no longer working on my site.
And when I click on the visual composer icon it opens up the site to purchase it… the plus icon opens the add element window but when i click on one nothing happens… and when i click on the templates icon the window opens but nothing happens with that as well

And as far as being forced to upgrade / update… that IS happening all over the place. But I do apologize for my assumptions. I was reacting to the fact that my client’s site is no working like i was 2 weeks ago… and i NEED it working.

I haven’t done anything to the home page since sept 11 when i updated the Big Grid slider.
I installed woocommerce.
and that’s it.
i tried deactivating woocommerce and it still isn’t working.
all i get is the visual composer header and nothing else. i tried clicking on the “add element” and when that opens i try to select an element but nothing happens.

this is a client’s site… so i don’t make too many of the upgrades or updates to it very often because i don’t want it to all of a sudden BREAK the theme (like it just did). So i have no idea what happened or how it happened.

I didn’t have to disable all of the plugins… THANK GOD!!!
I disabled Photon in Jetpack and used the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin and everything seems to be working fine (so far!)

Thank you.
