  Hello,
  
  The included plugins are inside the theme folder. When you first download theme package, it has included the latest versions of the plugins, in that time of the theme release.
  Later on, when you update theme (example, after a year), the new theme package will have included the latest versions of the plugins as well.
  This means, to update plugins, you have to update theme first.
  
  Did you made any changes to theme files? If not, there should not be any issue with the update.
  If you did, i suggest you save a copy of old theme files.
  
  -If for some reasons you are not able to update theme from wordpress dashboard, then update it using a ftp account.
  -The changes in Visual Composer are normal as you are updating from a very old version of theme and many features have been changed since.
  
  -I can help you update theme (and keep a copy of your current files, just in case) and also update plugins, but i need a ftp account for it.
  Let us know how you wish to proceed.
  
  Best regards!

  Hello,
  
  I uploaded a copy of the recent theme update into your wp-content/themes/ folder in the server. I renamed the new version as “specular2.4“(currently active) and kept the original theme files under “specular” name(like it was).
  
  I checked the plugins to update (the included one’s) but Visual Composer is already at it’s latest version and so is the Revolution slider. I updated Layerslider from vs 5.2 to 5.6.9.
  Please check your site.
  Let us know if you want to do anything else.
  
  PS: In case you create new pages and see that there is a comment section in it, right before the footer, please refer to this ticket to remove it.
  
  Best regards!

  Hello,
  
  First of all, don’t panic. Everything can be fixed.
  Time after time, some elements of visual composer get manipulated and others removed from the list of elements. If you have an old version of theme and visual composer, chances are that a lot has changed ever since your last update.
  
  The Call-to-Action element and some buttons in pages like “Empresa” or “Area tecnica” have been removed from theme.
  In order to get them back and for the pages to display the content they have, i replaced the new includes/core/codeless-elements.php file, of the latest Specular vs 2.4, with the version of your old theme.
  Now all content is displayed.
  Please check your site.
  
  Regards!

  Hello,
  
  Yes, you can switch on and off the theme’s version as many time as you wish. Just go to Appearance > Themes, place your mouse over one of the themes. You will see a “Theme details” button. Click on it to check this theme’s version number. If it’s the version you want, click on “activate” button below.

  I already reverted back for you. Let us know how you wish to proceed.
  
  Best regards!
