Hello dgdubois,
Thanks for contacting us.
It sounds like Visual Composer may still be causing issues. Page Builders have a nasty habit of breaking some core WordPress functionality, even though they add a lot of simplicity.
Can you confirm the problem goes away when you deactivate all other plugins AND switch to a normal theme at the same time? The instructions are laid out in our ‘Testing for Conflicts‘ tutorial.
You may also need to “flush permalinks,” by resaving your permalinks in the Settings > Permalinks admin page.
Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.
Cheers!
