I don’t know if I am posting this in the right spot, but I purchased Avada the other day and it looks like it came with Visual Composer by WPBakery. I am trying to update that and the site is saying that it came with the theme, so the author has to update that for me. Is this true, if so, how do I go about updating that?
Whenever you receive a plugin bundled with a theme, the theme author is responsible for providing you with any plugin updates, as you technically/legally do not own a license for that plugin yourself.
Whenever a theme update is released, authors usually also include the most current versions of all bundled plugins, so you simply need to check if a general theme update is available.
