Updated included plugins and lost my home page/navigation

edited June 2014 in Superior Posts: 66
I've kept the theme updated but didn't realize I hadn't updated the included plugins. I updated them yesterday, however, since then I lost my home page (http://www.christianbusinessacademy.com) along with navigation and the page linked to the top call to action button (next to navigation: http://www.christianbusinessacademy.com/join).

I looked at the pages and all the modules are in place, but when I look at the published pages, they show up blank and the navigation is gone. When I go to other pages such as http://www.christianbusinessacademy.com/about-us, the page and navigation show up just fine.

Can't figure out why these pages aren't appearing and yet others do. All that I did was update the plugins.

    Hello,

    For sure you have some PHP error. Please enable debug mode as described here http://www.wprecipes.com/how-to-easily-enabledisable-debug-mode-in-wordpress or here http://codex.wordpress.org/Debugging_in_WordPress#WP_DEBUG

    Also: What plugins have you updated?

    Then come back to me:-)

    With regards.

    I updated Apollo13 Shortcodes, Go Sesponsive Pricing, and WPBakery Visual Composer and then noticed the problem.

    Did the debugging and here's what showed up:

    I tried deactivating all plugins, however, WPBakery Visual Composer wouldn't deactivate. I tried about 3 times but it remained active so I had to manually remove it from the plugin folder via FTP.

    When I did the page showed up fine (with all the shortcode text from the visual composer) so it seems that this plugin is the issue. Once the page showed up again, I re-installed the plugin via the theme plugins and the page was blank again and showed a blank menu.

    It's definitely the plugin. Had the plugin active with no other plugins active and it still gave me the same problem so it doesn't seem like it's conflicting with other plugins since they're all deactivated except for this one (Visual Composer).

    This is one we are interested in. It stops processing of theme. Delete this file and see what fatal error you will get next(maybe none).
    Have you used child theme? Version of theme used? Any customizations?

    Theme won't allow deactivation cause it is required for it to work.

    With regards.
