Big trouble upgrading X 6.0.4 to X 7.2.3

Hello! I was hired to upgrade a client website that had been languishing for a while. The current website is at prangerent.com. The current versions are:

Cornerstone 3.0.4
WPBakery Page Builder 5.4.7
X 6.0.4

The upgraded staging site is here: http://cold-observation.flywheelstaging.com

Upgrading Cornerstone and WPBakery don’t break too much. But the X Theme upgrade to 7.2.3 breaks a bunch of things on the home page especially.

Do you have any guidance as to how to ease into these changes with less breakage?

Hey Jon,

Most breakage come from child theme customizations and I see you’re using a child theme. Please switch to the parent theme and check if the issue persists. If the issue’s fixed, please consult with a developer to fix the child theme customizations.

Since Visual Composer was used to build the page, please try going to WPBakery Page Builder Settings > General and make sure “Legacy X Integration” is enabled. For more details why this is, please read our past Pro 2.3, X 6.3, Cornerstone 3.3 Release Note here: Release Notes - Pro 2.3, X 6.3, Cornerstone 3.3

If Visual Composer backend editing is broken, please watch the potential solution in the following video.

Only if none of the suggestions help, please give us the following info in a Secure Note

  • Live website URL
  • WP Admin access to both live and staging sites

Thanks.
