Hello!

I have specific layout in my site that cannot get with any of your blocks. So, I need to change it.

My question is: Is it possible to override blocks layout without losing it when theme is updated?

This is layout I need.
Layout with 3/4 + 1/4

Hi,

It is strongly recommended to use only the highlighted columns when creating your page – https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-use-visual-composer/
However it is not impossible, so you could try to create the layout you want and see if it is suited for your project and works properly. But please note that some blocks or other elements may not display as intended in these conditions.

Thanks

Thank you for your answer.
I just need to know will I lose changes when theme is upgraded. For example, if I edit files td_block.php, td_block_1.php, td_block_3.php, style.css what will happen with those files when upgrading theme to new version?

Is it possible to change those files and save it somewhere in wordpress/theme folders where they will override any further update of those files. Something like that is possible in joomla, I don’t know for wordpress.

Hi,

You could create a child theme and modify the blocks that you want there. So then when you update the theme you will not lose any modifications for the blocks. Here is a guide if you want to use a child theme

Please use the steps mentioned there to create a directory structure similar to the theme, copy the blocks that you want, make your customization then activate the child theme.

Thanks
