I updated my wordpress to 4.5.3 and I updated X theme to version 4.6.0. I cannot see the prompt in the x extensions area to update visual composer (which I could on my previous 2 other site updates). When updating X to 4.6.0 the visual composer editor breaks and you need the latest version which is 4.12.

My workaround was this:

Since I could not see the prompt to update to the latest version of VC in the X extensions area I used the wordpress update section and added the following code to my wp-config.php.

define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

The above code needs to be used if your site is not setup or allowed to do direct installations of plugins.

Hello there!

I have the same problem! I’ve put the define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’); code in the wp-config file direct under define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”); But i don’t see anything to update in my dashboard updates or in the X addons or in the plugins section. My wordpress version is 4.5.3 and my X version 4.6.0

My VC version is 4.7.4 at the moment, and i want to update to 4.12.

Any suggestions please?

thanks in advance! 😉

Hi There,

Please uninstall the version of Visual Composer you have at the moment and re-install by acessing your :

WP Admin Dashboard > Addons >

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Hola!

it doesn’t show any extensions!
When i click on check updates, i get “Unable to check for updates. Try again later.”
I can’t find visual composer anywhere. I have attached a screenshot.

Kind regards,

Martijn.

WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.

Hi there,

Looks like your host is blocking connections to external servers. As for our server, you can whitelist our IPs from this thread https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/my-license-will-not-validate/ And you may contact your hosting provider for that process.

Thanks!
