My previous problem resolved (re-uploaded new version 04/15/16)
Glad to hear that the problem has been resolved 
Further to my previous comment I now cannot access my site at all, I have received this message – “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ’<’ in /var/sites/j/jamiesteindesign.co.uk/public_html/wp-content/themes/flora/functions.php on line 610.”
If you can please urgently advise what I can do to fix this.
Thanks, Jamie
Sounds like there is an invalid code in the file functions.php. Have you ever modified this file? Actually this file has no line 610 at all. Try checking your child theme also.
If it still doesn’t work, you should delete the flora theme folder and flora child theme folder in “wp-content/themes” on your host, then upload new ones.
Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I had tried to insert some code given to me from wyde so that I could customize my own loading icon for my site. I had inserted this into function.php and as soon as I had added this code and updated I could not accces wp-admin or see anything on my site.
I can’t even gain access to wp-admin. How can I access this so that I can try what you are suggesting in your reply?
Hi,
You should edit this file on your host through FTP or web file manager. Remove those codes from functions.php in your theme. You should add them to your child theme instead (as we provided in previous comments). Also, make sure the codes you’ve added are correct especially this one below should be in the same line (single line):
return '<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png" /></div>';
Thanks for all your help. Got all problems resolved.
Hi,
I updated my version of wordpress as well as some plugins when I logged into my site admin today. My site has now lost the menu bar and logo at the top and my footer bar. They have totally disappeared and I did not change anything to my site apart from performing updates. If you can please urgently advise how I can fix this.
Thanks, Jamie
Hi,
There is a bug with the main script from the theme on WP 4.5, we just submitted a new update of this theme a few hours ago. Once it will available to download, you can update your theme to fix this issue.
Hi thanks I have received this email. I will update once I have resolved the below issue. Thanks Jamie
Hi Wyde,
I checked recently by activating another theme.
Your theme delete a lot of VC options, i will really need that you bring back atleast equal height collumns.
Regards.
Hi,
We’re sorry but this theme comes with custom elements and custom options as you can see. When you enable default VC options in this theme, your site will not work properly since those options are not compatible with the theme.
For equal height columns, when you edit the row settings and change the Content Vertical Alignment option to “Middle” or “Bottom”, all columns in the row will have the same height that works like the equal height option from VC.
Hi, I’ve made no navigational changes to my site however the menu as disappeared even though on the dashboard the menu that I created originally is still there? Can you please look into this asap?
Thanks
Hi,
If you’re using WordPress 4.5, there is an issue with the theme on there. We will release a new update within 24 hours!
However, if you would like you can fix it now by editing the main script file “js/main.js” as below:
Replace:
$(".top-menu .menu-item > a[href*=#], .vertical-menu .menu-item > a[href*=#], .footer-menu a[href*=#]")
With:
$(".top-menu .menu-item > a[href*='#'], .vertical-menu .menu-item > a[href*='#'], .footer-menu a[href*='#']")
Hi Wyde I’m not confident with modifying scripts I’ll wait for the update to come out. Thanks
Hi Wyde, I used the update and it fixed the navigation but all my pages are messed up they are no longer the whole width of the screen plus the header of the page is all off as well. When I try to go edit the page the Visual Composer no longer shows my entire page anymore. Text is missing… Please help ASAP

Crisis averted, reinstalled the update and so far its all working. Thanks for working so quickly on the update!
I’m happy to hear that the problem has been resolved 
sorry to bug you, but it’s urgent.
i updated to the new wordpress version and now the site isn’t working at all. i was googling for answers and thought it was an issue with a plugin. so i reinstalled all the plugins including wyde-core. wpbakery forced me to purchase their plugin. so apparently i spent $40 for nothing.
here is an example page that isn’t working: www.foxandleopard.com/portfolio
any ideas? i dont even know where to begin. i have a friend who is a developer but he doesn’t work with wordpress, but if i can tell him where to start that would be helpful. thank you!

Also, this theme includes the Visual Composer plugin. You can normally use this plugin without registering a purchase code. You can ignore an update notification in plugins list page. This plugin came bundled with the theme and it need to be updated by the theme author. After you update the theme, you will see a notification message at the top of admin dashboard to let you know there is an update available for this plugin, you can click on the link “Begin updating plugin” to update it, see more on how to update bundled plugins in our documentation.
hi there, i just tried this and it didn’t work. Should I just wait for your update?
i frantically purchased WPBakery Visual Compser yesterday so i am all up to date with that.
Please wait for the next update of this theme that is compatible with WP 4.5. I suppose it will solve this problem. We will release it in a few hours!
the update worked for the main page and portfolio, but my other pages all say 404. i think the revslider plugin is the culprit. I’m getting messages like this:
http://i.imgur.com/53bbOkF.pngand saying i need to activate it. is there an easy way to upload revslider without disrupting my changes to the theme?
http://www.foxandleopard.com/portfolio-item/face-again/ 404 page http://www.foxandleopard.com/portfolio is working1. Regarding the error 404, I suppose this is a permalink issue. Navigate to Settings -> Permalinks, select Post name and save changes to see if it works.
2. Concerning the slider revolution issue, I suppose this is a compatibility issue from this plugin. Try updating it or delete it from your site if you don’t need any slider. If you have no slider on your site, you can delete it in Plugins section on your admin page. However, this plugin came bundled with the theme so you will see a notification message when this plugin was not activated. Just ignore that message, your site can normally work without installing and activating it.
Hello, I updated wordpress, and the theme through envato plugin. I read that visual composer was the problem but now is all updated and it still does not work. I have not touched any code, just modify text and pictures. What should I do? Thanks

Hello!
Great theme! I just have one problem, for some reason the navigation bar isn’t showing up on my website.
Initially I updated everything but that didn’t fix the problem. Just a moment ago, I decided to reset Wordpress in hopes of fixing the problem. Still, the navigation bar is missing. Can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Wyde – About Visual Composer and theme auto updates and WordPress core version update. (I thought I’d put in a searchable manner here, I’m sure others will be asking) 1) Right now Visual Composer is working fine for me in this installation, which is version 4.11.1. I Have been reading some horror stories that as soon as someone update’s WordPress to WordPress 4.5 (new one) that Visual Composer stops working (I have this issue in a different build, FYI) until it’s updated to at least Visual Composer 4.11 = is that all correct so far? 2) With the theme set to update automatically through Envato, there’s no need to worry on Composer updates, as you’ll push those through using that method of updating – correct? 3) Right now, with this version in place, do you recommend updating WordPress right now, or not? 1 and 2, really to reassure. 3 – I think all should be fine if ver on site of Composer is 4.11.1
Thanks Wyde~
Hi,
Sorry for my late reply!
1. We just released the Flora 1.2.6 that comes with Visual Composer 4.11.2 that is compatible with WordPress 4.5 so you can update your theme to receive this one.
2. After you update the theme, if there is a new update available for this plugin, you will see a notification message at the top of admin dashboard so you can click on the update link to update it, see more on updating the theme in our documentation.
3. The latest update of this theme is compatible with WordPress 4.5 so now you can update it without any problem.
Cheers.
Hi Wyde I Know you’ve been busy with this update bug, everyone got hit I think~ One last Q fro you for update – with using a child theme, how do you recommend updating the theme? Should I = Activate Flora over child theme, update Flora, then re-activate child theme and all previous changes will still be good = is that the correct order? Or what do you recommend?
Hi,
We recommend you to activate child theme and modify the theme through this child theme. When you update the theme you can delete the flora theme and upload a new one to your site without losing your changes.
However, when you update the theme through WordPress admin, you need to switch to another theme before deleting the old flora theme so your site will lose the current styles while upload a new update.
We usually update the theme through web file manager and we recommend this way if you also have it on your host. 1. Open your web file manager on your host. 2. Upload flora.zip to “wp-content/themes/”. 3. Extract it to replace the old flora folder.
With this way, you don’t need to switch to another theme so your site will always online without losing current styles while uploading a new update.
Hmm. I do have this theme setup with the Envato toolkit, and when I look there under ‘Themes’ I see “there is a new version of flora available – update automatically” however when I click on that I get “Updating this theme will lose all customization’s” notice. Is it OK to update parent theme that way, rather than going thru the manual update process? As it’s on a child theme build-out all changes made will be preserved, correct? Thanks
Of course! If you modified the theme through a child theme, your changes will be preserved. You can update the parent theme via the Envato Toolkit plugin without losing your changes.
However, after you update the theme, if there is an update available for the bundled plugins, you will see a notification message to update these plugins too.
Hey Wyde~ I kinda knew that, I just wanted to make sure it was here in the answers for future enquiries~~ Again, a pleasure getting your Very timely replies, cant say enough good things about your service – much apprecaited Blake
It’s my pleasure 
phhi, i have this web using your theme http://www.pokerclub.cl , and i change the preloader image and do this
css#preloader .custom-loader {
display: block;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(-50%, -50%, 0);
transform: translate3d(-50%, -50%, 0);
}
and PHP
add_filter('flora_page_loader', 'flora_get_page_loader');
function flora_get_page_loader(){
return '<span class="custom-loader"><img src="http://pokerclub.cl/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Loader.gif" />';
}</span>
i can center it in my web browser, but i cant do it in my smartphone.
what i need to change?
PS: Sorry for my English
Hi,
It seems like you figured it out because I just visited your site on my iPhone and Android phone, it works fine. I can see this preloader is in the center of the screen.
yes. Thanks. Here is the code in the style.css anyway
#preloader .custom-loader {
display: block;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
-webkit-transform: translate3d(-50%, -50%, 0);
transform: translate3d(-50%, -50%, 0);
}
@media (min-width: 700px) and (orientation: portrait) {
#preloader .custom-loader {
position: fixed !important;
top: 50% !important;
left: 50% !important;
margin: -50px 0px 0px -50px; !important;
}
@media (min-width: 700px) and (orientation: landscape) {
#preloader .custom-loader {
position: fixed !important;
top: 50% !important;
left: 50% !important;
margin: -50px 0px 0px -50px; !important;
}
}
Great job 
thanks
Hi there. Thank you for the main.js fix for Wordpress 4.5. I just updated the Wordpress core, found our site broken, edited the main.js file, uploaded and all is working properly again.
I did want to mention, however, an error I’m still seeing on the Wordpress backend. It displays near the top of the page perpetually and shows up as its own page when activating/deactivating plugins. The error is below:
Notice: add_object_page is deprecated since version 4.5! Use add_menu_page() instead. in /home/content/86/7499786/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3662Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/86/7499786/html/wp-includes/functions.php:3662) in /home/content/86/7499786/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1171
It doesn’t seem to affect anything, but I wanted to bring it to your attention so that you might also resolve this error in your next update. Let me know if this error is related to something other than the Flora theme. Thank you.
Hi there,
I suppose this is an issue from another plugin since it doesn’t happen on our demo sites. Try deactivating other plugins one by one to see if it works.
Dear Flora-Team,
is there an opinion to set the title of an InfoBox as hyperlink instead of a “Read More” button?
Thanks,
Christian
Hello,
You need to edit the shortcode template in “templates/shortcodes” to set the title as hyperlink instead of read more button but we do not recommend because when you update the theme, your changes will be lost.
Hi!
Is there a way to use visual composer to put together the portfolio pages? I thought that would be an option when I purchased the theme. I need my portfolio to have images with text directly next to them to show the process of a design, and the layouts that are standard don’t have that available. Any advice?
Thanks! Kim
I figured it out by going into visual composer -> role manager and then enabled it for ‘post types -> custom’ and enabled it on the portfolio
Hi,
Sorry for my late reply!
Glad to hear that you figured it out.
That is the right way to enable Visual Composer on portfolio post. You can also select “post” to enable it on blog post.
Hello!
I’m having trouble updating Visual Composer from 4.10 to 4.11.2. I’m getting an message that say “An error occurred while updating WPBakery Visual Composer: To receive automatic updates…”
Also, I am currently using Wordpress 4.5.
Can you help me with this?
Best, Terri
Hello,
The latest update of Flora theme includes Visual Composer 4.11.1. You should update the theme to receive this one.
After you update the theme, if you couldn’t update Visual Composer plugin, please delete it from your site first. Once you delete this plugin, you will see a notification message at the top of the page to install it again.
Pages do not load after the site is updated to the latest WP. We have restored a backup to the prev. version. Is there a known fix for this?

Hey,
As other people have reported, have updated to WordPress 4.5 and also updated Visual Composer, Core and Revslider and now my site will not load. Just has the loading animation.
This is a compatibility issue with the theme on WP 4.5 that includes a new update of jQuery.

Hi, have you received my question? Thanks!
Hi, i updated the theme as you told me the last week and for few days, the animation of the home works, but right now, is having the same problem: the text of the boxes dissapear. What i can do?
http://www.2002marketingroup.com/sitio/ Another problem that i have is that is impossible put the slider as background of the header in the internal pages as is in the home page http://www.2002marketingroup.com/sitio/sobre-nosotros/ Also in this page, i can’t remove the space between rows. I want all the rows without white spaces, i dont have spaces, paddings, margins, but i see these white spaces.Thanks in advance for your help
Hi,
Sorry for my late reply!
1. I see all animation texts on your home page are working fine. Try to clear your browser caches.
2. Yes, sure. You can add a Slider Revolution element from Visual Composer element window to any pages as in the home page. You can create new slider in Slider Revolution section on your WP admin, see more on creating slider -> https://www.themepunch.com/revslider-doc/first-steps/#newslider
3. Edit the row settings, then change Vertical Padding Size option to “No Padding” to remove top and bottom spaces from the row.
Hello,
I updated my Wordpress to 4.5 and information is missing from my website together with animations and functionalities. How can I fix this?
Thank you and have a nice day!

Hi,
Our website www.peppr.io is experiencing some difficulties since today:
Getting some uncaught javascript errors and Visual Composer is no longer loading (Uncaught typeerror: $template.get is not a function).
Any idea what may be causing this? I did update the WordPress core today.
Regards, Jasper
Hi,
We will release a new update ASAP!
My website is set to the “Main Demo” theme. There are missing elements and pages on mobile and desktop. The plugins and theme are updated. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? Uninstall, together? Or can I simply switch to one of the other themes: such as Creative Agency for example?
Sorry for my late reply!
Importing demo content will append pages, posts and other custom post types so you will have duplicated content if you import more than one. You should reset your site by using WordPress Reset plugin before importing another one, see more on importing demo content in our documentation.
