    Hi there,

    I’m having difficulty with the visual composer. It won’t load (I just keep getting the loading box image). I’ve tried Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. I’ve also tried clearing my cache and restarting my computer – nothing works. I’m on a Mac.

    Also, in trying to edit the normal way, I’m having trouble using the “Design Options” in “Edit Column”. I’m trying to style the Testimonial Widget – if I add borders, padding, etc – nothing works. I’ve tried doing the same thing on the row and it’s fine – it seems to be specific to this widget.

    Thanks for your help,
    Sarah

    And you need select all content types. Look at screenshot http://prntscr.com/43hy6k

    Hello,

    As we can see the issue persist with default theme too. That’s why we recommend you to contact Visual Composer plugin support.

    I’m unable to do so without a purchase code. When I bought the theme, it said it came with this plugin. Does this mean that you need to contact support on my behalf? Or are you able to provide me with the purchase code with which I can submit a ticket?

    Hello,

    To update the Visual Composer plugin you need re-download the theme archive at http://themeforest.net/item/legenda-responsive-multipurpose-wordpress-theme/5888906 where we’ve recently included the updated versions of plugins VC and Revolution Slider. After you unzip the archive you’ll find another archive Legenda_v2.2.zip, extract it as well and open this folder “legenda”. The plugins are placed inside of “legenda” folder under framework/plugins directory. Upload the new version via FTP and remove the old one.

    Hi Eva,

    I’ve been able to update the plugin to the most recent version, but it still won’t load on any browser (I’ve now tried two computers as well.) Jack suggested that I reach out to VC’s support because he saw that the issue was affecting your default theme as well, but I’m unable to without a purchase code.

    Thank you! What did you do differently so that I can make sure to do it right in the future? I had uploaded them to the right folder in my ftp – not sure if there was anything else I need to do.

    Also, do you know why I can’t style the testimonials widget? I’d like to vertically center it in the row, and add a double border around it.

    Thanks again!

    You’re welcome.
    I’ve removed the VC folder of old version and uploaded a new version of the plugin.
    To create a double border you need add this code in custom.css file:

    .testimonials-slider {
        border: double;
    }

    Please show us a screenshot of how you want to center vertically the testimonials slider.
    Thank you.

    Please see attached for the screenshot. Also, thank you for the code to add the double border, but why is it that I can’t just use the Design tab on the “Edit column” feature to do this?

    Hello,

    To add top margin to the testimonials slider you can add this code into the custom.css:

    .testimonials-slider {
    margin-top: 75px;
    }

    Because the testimonials can be varying lengths (making the box either larger or smaller, I’d prefer to just center it rather than add a fixed padding. Is there no way to center it?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately it can’t be done in other way.
