Visual Composer

Hi,

I am having a little difficulty here. Based on the documentation, a page created with visual composer won’t have use the default sidebar, but the widgetized sidebar.

I have a widget on the default sidebar, which should normally appear everywhere except the page (my homepage) created with visual composer.

Now, I see both widgets appearing, on the page created with visual composer.

Please, how do I fix this?

Hi

Note that the sidebar added within the widgetized sidebar block applies only for the section built with Visual Composer pagebuilder. If you’re using pagebuilder + latest as page template, for latest article section will be set another sidebar from loop settings: http://screencast.com/t/UUaXCvUjZj2L
The default sidebar can’t be used only for the part of the page generated by VC, the rest of the page will use the default sidebar or other one, depending by users settings.
If this does not help please provide a screen of your layout from Visual Composer or the entire code from bacakend mode via http://pastebin.com/ so I can inspect it closer.

Thanks!

Hi, I am lit bit more confused, I couldn’t get much from the image..

I am using the default template on the page, its actually the homepage I am creating.

Is there a place I could send you a temporal admin login details?

Thanks

Hi

I looked over the code that you provided and works fine. If you’re using page template default as the page template for the homepage: http://screencast.com/t/WelReLqatY the sidebar should appear only once.
The same sidebar appear twice on the same page if it’s used in a widgetzed sidebar block first, then also it’s used in latest article section, if the page template is pagebuilder + latest: http://screencast.com/t/byqXLRHRs3
The editor was designed to have the same width with the post content on front-end. If your’re using sidebar the post content have 640px, so the editor have the same width. If you’re not using sidebar the post content have 980px and also the editor change width’s changes at this value. Basically the editor simulate the front end layout. You can make the editor full width by removing this code from editor-style.less file: http://screencast.com/t/Vef9ReyLvsC2 – http://screencast.com/t/Ko7LseFc2fw6

Hope this help.
Thanks!

Hi,

“I looked over the code that you provided and works fine. If you’re using page template default as the page template for the homepage: http://screencast.com/t/WelReLqatY the sidebar should appear only once.”

This is exactly what I did, but the sidebar is still appearing twice, the widgetized sidebar and newmag default sidebar.

I intend going live tonight, I am familiar with Visual composer as I used it in my previous theme, but I am just stuck, this is the last thing I need to fix..

Please where can I send you a temporal admin login so you can fix it, then I pick it up from there.

Best..

Getting really frustrated now, I don’t know why the default sidebar keep showing even when I choose the default template 🙁

wow, fixed.. 😀
