Hi my Visual Composer is missing some features, especially the row stretch feature. I contacted Visual Composer support and their reply was that the VC was modified by the theme author and it is different from their standard version. They recommended the author to get rid of the customization to get back the standard version. Any ideas?
Yes, many of Visual Composer elements have been altered in order to fit better the style of this theme. To add back elements, just go to file includes/core/codeless_elements.php. You will find at the top of the file all VC elements listed. To add them back, just comment out the vc_remove_element(); functions. Example:
From this: vc_remove_element("vc_button");
to this: //vc_remove_element("vc_button");
Which of the above do you want to do?
Please fill in the wp and ftp information on the extra information fields of your profile data. So i can login and help you with it.
Sorry for the late reply.
I tried making the changes but the site gives error “ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE” whenever i try to save changes. So you will have to make the changes your self. All you need to do is go to file functions-tower.php. Find and remove this block:
/* -------------------- Set VC config file ---------------------------------------------- */
if(function_exists('vc_set_as_theme'))
vc_set_as_theme();
if (class_exists('WPBakeryVisualComposerAbstract')) {
function codeless_active_vc(){
require_once locate_template('includes/core/codeless_elements.php');
}
add_action('init','codeless_active_vc', 5 );
add_action( 'vc_before_init', 'codeless_vc_remove_deprecated' );
function codeless_vc_remove_deprecated(){
vc_remove_param('vc_accordion', 'deprecated');
vc_remove_param('vc_tabs', 'deprecated');
}
}
/* -------------------- End Set VC config file ------------------------------------------ */
Note: After removing the incorporated VC version, you have to add again the page’s VC elements!
PS: You have a very old theme version. We recommend to always keep theme up to date for security reasons and because with each update, new features are added and existing one’s are made better.
You must be doing something wrong. There is no issue for theme from wordpress. Also the Envato Toolkit plugin works well. Are you sure you have generated the right keys?
I suggest you update manually using the ftp. Make sure to have unzipped the “tower” file first (if you are using all files and documentation) and upload into wp-content/themes ONLY tower theme folder.
Let us know how it goes.
The situation is somehow clear from the messages. As the message says when you were installing theme, “Destination folder already exists.” All you needed to do is go to wp-content/themes and delete (or rename) the current Tower theme. Then proceed with the installation.
