Hello,
I’m currently working on updating an old website. I made a copy I’m working on, so the site has been created with an older Visual Composer version (35.1) but I’m editing it with the latest version.
So far things are working out well, but when I try to edit elements like “Global Template” or “Section” then following message appears:
But I AM the administrator. In the Role Manager tab, I can edit every role, including the admin one. Doesn’t that mean I’m the admin?
What do I do? Thanks
Hello,
Please make sure that the elements such as global template are downloaded from the hub and are available in add element area.
Thanks,
Hi,
they are available in the add element area, but I still cannot edit them even though I can add them!
Hi,
I would request you to kindly drop us a ticket via the official support channel: http://help.visualcomposer.com/support regarding the issue.
Thanks,
For anyone having the same problem in the future:
We figured out that it’s most likely because this website was build with the premium licence of visual composer, which then expired when the website was handed to me. Thus certain elements are premium elements which cause all these problems without a premium licence:
Hopefully this helps!
