Hi,
Can you please explain the difference between a block and a module? I am very confused: in the visual composer, I add blocks, but to change teh fonts via Theme Panel I have to know to which module these correspond?
Thanks,
I think the theme docs show the modules and which blocks make up each module .. much easier to see that first (I printed it out!) 🙂
Hi,
You can easily see what modules are used for what blocks in the theme panel: http://screencast.com/t/dYYVDXWl or In excerpts: http://screencast.com/t/ifT63nnUfPc
Thank you!
Ok, thanks!
No, sorry. I still don’t get it.
Let’s take Block 1 for example, which I have added using the Visual Composer. It is made up of a large image post, and four smaller posts on the right.
From the Theme Panel > Excerpts I deduce that Block 1 belongs to Module 6.
So in Theme Fonts I change the font to what I want it to be, which works great BUT only for the smaller posts on the right, not the big one. So how do I change that?
Also, I have added Block 16, which is ALSO Module 6. But the fonts (with the above change) don’t change at all.
I am really confused by this.
Why do we add BLOCKS but modify MODULES?
Hello,
You will have to take a closer look at the excerpts section because all modules are listed there. There are multiple modules to a block:
For example block1: http://screencast.com/t/JWJjsz8c
For block 16: http://screencast.com/t/AEs8rMv9Y10
A block is made up of modules. But the same module can be used on different blocks. So if you edit a module and change it’s styling, you will affect every block that uses that module.
A block is simply an empty ‘box’ in which modules are placed.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
