Fix $template.get is not a function in VC when updated WordPress to 4.5

Fix_vc.php

<?php
/*
Find html2element in

Version > 4.9: wp-content/plugins/js_composer/assets/js/dist/backend-actions.min.js

html2element: function(html) {
  var attributes = {},
    $template;
  if (_.isString(html)) {
    this.template = _.template(html);
    $template = $(this.template(this.model.toJSON()).trim());
  } else {
    this.template = html;
    $template = html;
  }
  _.each($template.get(0).attributes, function(attr) { // **errors on this line**
    attributes[attr.name] = attr.value;
  });
  this.$el.attr(attributes).html($template.html());
  this.setContent();
  this.renderContent();
},

/*
Then replace to function
*/
html2element: function(html) {
    var $template, attributes = {},
        template = html;
    $template = $(template(this.model.toJSON()).trim()), _.each($template.get(0).attributes, function(attr) {
        attributes[attr.name] = attr.value
    }), this.$el.attr(attributes).html($template.html()), this.setContent(), this.renderContent()
},

+1. I copied the code above, and not working. I also deactivated, and then reactivated the plugin after the edit. I get the same console error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'attributes' of undefined : composer-view.js?ver=4.5.1:157 on this part exactly: $template.get(0).attributes

Noticed that code was not being passed into the html2element function, but did exist in the function calling it (render)

The following code has completely corrected my problems, I can load the page, add, clone, remove, etc

render: function () { var $shortcode_template_el = $( '#vc_shortcode-template-' + this.model.get( 'shortcode' ) ); if ( $shortcode_template_el.is( 'script' ) ) { var newHtmlCode = _.template( $shortcode_template_el.html(), this.model.toJSON(), vc.templateOptions.default ); if(!_.isString(newHtmlCode)){ newHtmlCode = $shortcode_template_el.html(); } this.html2element( newHtmlCode ); } else { var params = this.model.get( 'params' ); $.ajax( { type: 'POST', url: window.ajaxurl, data: { action: 'wpb_get_element_backend_html', data_element: this.model.get( 'shortcode' ), data_width: _.isUndefined( params.width ) ? '1/1' : params.width, _vcnonce: window.vcAdminNonce }, dataType: 'html', context: this } ).done( function ( html ) { this.html2element( html ); } ); } this.model.view = this; this.$controls_buttons = this.$el.find( '.vc_controls > :first' ); return this; },

Works. Only needed to change render function from @amritoshpandey. Original html2element function did not need to be changed.
