This article suggests canceling your worpress version to 4.5. http://forums.artbees.net/t/urgent-wordpress-4-5-broken-vc-backend-editor-workaround-fix-in-comments/2734
Here you can find older wp versions for installing https://wordpress.org/download/release-archive/30
I have not tried this myself, just a suggestion.
If this is still a problem for you, I resolved the same error I was getting by manually updating my theme via ftp. I downloaded the latest version of the theme because automatic updates did not work. I saved the version of Wordpress 4.5. Here are the steps I took as follows.
- I renamed the x-update theme example after loading, named the current x-previous theme, and then changed x-update to x and deleted x-previous.
- I updated js_composer in the same way as step 1. I downloaded the latest version of js_composer, which was related to the theme. This is updated in off-topic plugins. At this point, you can update the visual composer from the wp toolbar if it has not already been.
- This activated vc again, but left me with some strange errors occurring in the vc_templates vc_column.php file. I had to manually comment on the fault code to clear the errors.
These three steps are a little nervous if you are not familiar with uploading files directly to your public_html directory on your site. Some topics may offer support and ftp downloads for you if you provide them with the ftp user password.
Another thing to do is clear your cache for your site. In chrome, you can clear the cache by going to chrome: // settings / cookie enter the website in the search bar and click on "Delete all clearing all locally stored data for your site." Manual updating of themes and plugins is recommended only if automatic updating is not possible, you do it. For my topic and the same exact error, I followed these really made steps https://community.theme.co/kb/updating-your-theme-and-plugins/ . However, this will vary depending on your topic. And if you are more likely to abandon your wp version, you can follow my initial suggestion. But for me, I like to have everything new and modern.
Another important note, if you have this theme, then I had to remove the x-shortcodes plugin from the plugins that manage my site, because my updated theme uses the cornerstone instead of x-shortcodes to handle important shortcodes to make vc work correctly . One more thing you need to know: none of your data should harm when loading plugins and that all data / content is stored safely in your database, and not in your subject.
