Hi, I have
Cornerstone Version 2.1.7
WP Bakery. Version 5.4.5
X theme Version: 5.2.5
WordPress 4.9.9
Website https://www.beclear.co.za
When I upgraded the plugins and theme to the latest versions, it broke the site.
I had to restore to the backup.
What is the best practice for updating from this much older version of the theme to the latest version?
I used WP Bakery to build the pages. I’m not familiar with Cornerstone page builder.
Please advise.
Hi there,
It would be best to setup a staging site and do the update from there so that the live site will not be affected in case there will be any issues with the update and you will be able to do some testing.
Here are some search results on how to setup a staging site:
In case you are not certain how to proceed, you might want to check with your web host and ask them if they can help you with the staging site.
Once the staging site is setup, you can do the updates from there.
As for the Visual Composer pages issue. Go to WPBakery Page Builder Settings > General and make sure "Legacy X Integration" is enabled. A common request we get is to not overwrite parts of the WPBakery Page Builder. We are committed to keep supporting sites from the early days of X where Visual Composer was our page builder but we’ve consolidated all that integration code under one setting. It used to be enabled by default, but you will now need to opt-in to use it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it. Will update on a staging site and test.
You’re welcome.
Let us know how it goes!
