Hey Andrei,
This seems to be an issue with CSS related to “vc_column_container” class, which has width: 100% and overrides CSS of the columns. After a bit of research I did find that this might be an issue with how you’re outputting classes and modifying them in VC. Someone else had same exact problem in a different theme with VC.
Here’s the info:
https://oceanthemes.ticksy.com/ticket/842704
You can see that they had a response from VC support, which indicated that:
The issue is because theme author has modified our default column classes using:https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Change+CSS+Class+Names+in+Output Due to this it breaks upon the update.
This sounds like a possible bug. Thanks.
No problem. I’ve been fixing issues in v6 all day, pain in the butt for sure.
I couldn’t wait on a response, so I had to hack CSS for now.
Just drop this CSS into Visual Composer’s custom CSS on your homepage only, it’s under gear icon:
body.home .td-container {
width: 1086px;
}
That did the trick for me.
I honestly have no clue, I noticed recently it was working. It might’ve been cache, but I don’t know specifically what fixed it. I don’t know if it helped, try activating Booster plugin. Maybe that’ll help. Wish I could help.
I found that you have to replace all shortcodes since in v6 they are gone and are placed with simple HTML blockquotes. I had to run search/replace on the database to get all shortcodes replaced with proper HTML tags.
Also, I found during upgrade you will most likely need to “import” dummy content but without content. So it imports settings, otherwise it looks like crap.
Typography is also gone, it’s not imported automatically even if you use their v4 to v6 upgrade. All fonts reset to default.
If you’re using child theme from v4, you must replace top portion of the functions.php, it changed and will cause issues. Just compare new v6 child functions.php and replace your old default part at the top with the new code.
Same goes for header.php and footer.php, they’ve made changes so you need to make sure if you have customer header.php and footer.php in your child theme that you compare these files to v6 files and update necessary code to match v6. They are different from v4, you’ll get blank screen.
Thanks a lot! That fixed it. Didn’t realize there was a setting for that.
Thanks.
