Can't update WP Bakery Plugin

wearekamikaze · June 2020

Hello, I purchased the BeTheme on ThemeForest, when I try to update my WP Bakery Visual Composer there is an error:

To receive automatic updates license activation is required. Please visit Settings to activate your WPBakery Page Builder.

Please let me know how to fix this issue.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you can update the bundled plugin from betheme>install plugins, there you should do it

Thanks

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

I have tried this every which way and cannot get it to update/install or activate?

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

I am following your instructions, however, slider revolution, wpbakery, BeTheme Header Builder and Layer Slider will not update and therefore not activate. The update indicates that all have updated ok - but a newer version is still available and needs to update!!How is this resolved? I have followed the instructions : update through betheme to no avail and through wordpress to no avail.

rkc-rkccltd,

Which version of the WPBakery do you have?

Also, is your BeTheme up to date?

thanks

SH!T! I've been replying on the wrong thread.....

https://rkccltd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Capture.jpg

There is no error message.

Says installed/updated successfully.

Also can'#t get slider revolution to work.

https://rkccltd.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Captddfvsvfure.jpg

Second image shows them update error for some reason. Rerun update with success message.

However, plugin page same as first image saying plugin needs update!!

I also do not get the slider revolution down the side menu... only in teh installed plugins page. And none will activate.

WTF! It's gone! It was there but is now not?

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

I cannot update my BeTheme. This is also one of the problems.

Pablo,

Sorry about that - I was posting too much and missed you message the first time... (panic!)

Have sent...

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

that's a wordpress login yeah?

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

Pablo,

Had to change logins

Pablo · June 2020

About the revolution slider, it updated after all of the plugins were disabled.

To fix the problem with WPBakery, please get into your FTP and remove the folder named "js_composer" in plugins folder of wordpress.

After that, with all of the plugins disabled, you will be able to download and install it

thanks

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

How do I do that?

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

Pablo,

Recursive deletion?

Deleting and retriving? 1060 files so far.....?

Pablo · June 2020

https://support.bestwebsoft.com/hc/en-us/articles/204301449-Deactivate-disable-Wordpress-plugin-via-FTP

But, instead of renaming, please get into the plugins folder, and remove the directory with the js_composer.

thanks

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

Pablo,

I don't know what you're talking about but none of you're words came true.

Please review this chronological diary of events/results...

Also Imagix is missing? Whatever that is?

https://rkccltd.co.uk/problempage/

So as you can see, having deleted the js_composer folder and trying to deactivate all the plugins, the slider revolution did NOT install/update as you describe.

The theme did NO update. WPBakery did NOT install/update.

In fact pretty much no change and now things missing.

If I'm honest with you, this situation is getting worse and I am losing time, money and patience. I do not do this for a living and need some more help that Joe Blow the Web Designer, please?

Any chance you can speak to me in small simple words? Pretend I've never seen a computer before.

Please provide a contact for a complaint procedure if this cannot be resolved quickly.

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

There is a js_composer folder in an uploads folder also?

Delete this?

Pablo · June 2020

1) The Imagix problem is not a theme issue, but the hosting problem - this is a theme support forum, so problem with your server should be solved with your hosting provider, not us.

2) We took the further investigation, why plugins are not updating as they should and we noticed, that something is wrong with your theme source code, and we have a question:

Where did you get that version of BeTheme?

The core code of our theme is modified and functionality related to license key registration is overwritten, so it always return that theme is registered, even if it's not - our system does recognize it and installation or updating the plugin will not work as desired.

This is a license key violation.

Thanks

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

The theme was install by a developer and he has since disappeared... I purchased the theme and there was a problem with it. He did something and I haven't seen him since. I have the theme purchase code though. Can this be fixed?

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

Code sent by message box..

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

Could you give me a bit more than

This is a license key violation.

Thanks

please?

Like how to resolve it?

I'm not enjoying my experience with Muffin/BeTheme. The support staff seem to have a real "f***you" attitude.

Please provide a contact for complaints.

Where can I get a refund?

rkc-rkccltd · June 2020

The page was already having problems and had to be rebuilt once already. There is a back up somewhere in my file structure, but again - no real help just a quick fix and cheerio..

Any chance you could take a bit of time to actually help rather than dismissing me?!?!

Pablo · June 2020

We were investigating the source of the problem and we found that your theme is not 'legal' at all.

The theme code is modificated that way, to avoid the license key validation, that's why all of these malfunctions happen and that why I told you about the 'license key violation'

Please, login into your themeforest profile and download whole betheme package.

You will have to install your betheme once more - of course, your content and theme options will not be deleted because they are stored in the database.

Check out this video, you have to follow all of the steps as mentioned here:

But, as you will see at 1:13, the drag and drop the betheme folder from your PC to server, be sure that you removed the betheme folder before it.

If you want to get a refund, please send this information privately thru the contact form which is on the
right side at http://themeforest.net/user/muffingroup#contact

Thanks
