    Description of the Issue

    The WPBakery Frontend Editor is crashing with a fatal error when attempting to load Vc_Post_Settings.
    Even when downgrading to the recommended WPBakery 8.2 version, the issue persists.

    The error thrown is:

    Uncaught Error: Too few arguments to function Vc_Post_Settings::__construct(), 1 passed ... and exactly 2 expected

    This indicates the theme is still calling the constructor with one parameter, while current WPBakery builds expect two:

    • $editor

    • $post_id

    Because of this mismatch, the frontend editor fails to initialize and halts with a fatal error.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Install and activate the theme.

    2. Activate WPBakery Page Builder (tested on 8.2, 8.4, 8.5).

    3. Open any page and click Frontend Editor.

    4. The page fails to load and displays the fatal constructor error.

    Expected Behavior

    Frontend Editor should load normally without PHP fatal errors.

    Actual Behavior

    Frontend Editor crashes due to outdated theme code calling:

    new Vc_Post_Settings( $editor );

    Instead of the updated signature requiring:

    new Vc_Post_Settings( $editor, $post_id );
    Impact

    • Page content cannot be edited using the Frontend Editor.

    • Blocks normal workflow for editing existing or new pages.

    • Even using WPBakery 8.2 (as recommended for compatibility) does NOT resolve the issue.

    Request

    Please provide an updated patch or theme version that aligns with the current WPBakery constructor requirements and restores full Frontend Editor compatibility.
