The content remains entact. Expect to have to tweak a few things here and there, but ultimately it’s not that big of a headache when all is said and done!

I’m marking this as resolved and here’s how I did it (I’ll put it in layman’s terms for people like me who have no bloody clue how to do this).

Step 1: download filezilla
Step 2: find out your ftp info (host, username, password, and port#—I had to call my hosting service to find this information out)
Step 3: Plug in that information into filezilla
Step 4: Once the server has been connected to, locate the plugins folder (for me, it went: users>’username’>apps>’username’>public>wp-content>plugins) and in that folder I found the plugin
Step 5: And this step is daunting, but trust me: Right click and delete it. There’s going to be a massive amount of text flowing at this point, just wait it out and when it is done, you’ll see something along the lines of “process was successful”

NOTE: Avoid looking at your site at this point because it’s not going to be pretty.

Step 6: Log back into your admin>plugins, and reinstall your new updated plugin. Activate it, and boom! Hope this Helps!

Worth noting, I am not against personally purchasing the theme out of my own wallet, but I still need this plugin removed before I can update it.

I think I’m just going to outright purchase visual composer. That way, I can stay up to date on the versions. Does anyone know if I were to uninstall vc then reinstall the newer version, if that would cause any issues with my current setup? Also thanks for all the help!

So does anyone have wp v4.5 and vc v4.11.1 together and running? If so, I’ll just buy the actual version myself and therefore be able to stay updated
