I was directed by support to add feature requests here:
Since Visual Composer is being phased out from Porto theme, it is imperative to keep supporting existing customers.
One way is to fix a specific version of VC for all the users to install and not update it afterwards. Porto theme must keep on supporting that particular version of VC so that existing users can update porto theme and use VC at the same time.
This way you will not have to worry about VC breaking something with the new update because ONE specific version is easy to handle. Maybe you can upgrade that specific version of VC once a year also.
If you don’t to this, it will affect a lot of VC users like myself who put our trust in Porto theme and all of sudden we got to know that VC will not be supported by Porto altogether.
Please consider this request and implement it. Thanks
