The WPBakery Page Builder (formerly Visual Composer) plugin automatically displays an update notification on the WordPress admin panel plugin page when they release a new version. To make our WordPress theme more interactive and user-friendly, we have used the WPBakery Page Builder for our premium WordPress themes (Knoweldgedesk, Senior Care, Sharai Khana, and Reddropbuddies).

WPBakery Page Builder Update Notification

All of those themes utilize the drag-and-drop page-building feature of the WPBakery Page Builder plugin, and the plugin comes with the theme as a bundle. So, as a buyer, you do not need to purchase the plugin license separately. However, the plugin asks for a purchase code to complete the automatic update process. But the automatic update process could not proceed without a valid purchase code.

Please note that we always keep our themes up-to-date and release an update of our themes along with the latest version of WPBakery Page Builder. So, you will always receive the latest version of the plugin, and you can easily update the plugin to it’s latest version.

If you need immediate support regarding the latest version of the plugin, please contact with us via support page.
