Hi there,
Few questions about Visual Composer
1. If I add an element (let’s say an icon or a tab) these display right at the page side ‘border’. Normally text has a margin of 20 so I would like to have the element in the same alignment as the text. This can be done manually by editing the Design-box in VC and giving it the 20px margin, but is there a way to do this default?
I do not want to manually do this every time and just have all elements have a default of 20px (which I can change if needed, but 20 is the default. There should be a ‘Design options’ tab according to the Visual Composer documentation but I can’t find it (reference: https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=524319)
2. I added the Tabs-element but would like to have the Tab-titles in bold. How can I achieve this?
Thanks again for the support. Really appreciate it!
Just wanted to quickly add some more questions:
3. When will Visual Composer be updated? I am asking this because I get this message:
Elements within this list are deprecated and are no longer supported in newer versions of Visual Composer.
4. Should I even use the Tabs-element (see my question under 2) as this will be a deprecated element. And will there be something similar to this in a newer version?
They will recommend you use the updated version they offer with theme update but if you want to take a chance and get the free update that they are offering on the Visual Composer page here:
http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431
It is a free security update they are offering to everyone even for those themes including it.
Tagdiv will tell you its not tested yet before they release it with theme but I am currently using with no issues and for the missing design options.
You need to go into maintenance mode and deactivate theme and use default theme like Twenty Fifteen or similar theme and then go to Visual Composer dashboard menu and it should show the design options and just resave the options without changing anything and reactivate Newsmag and that nag will be gone.
As for tabs on the new v4.8.0.1 on the Visual Composer link above. That element loads up just fine for me and lets me set options for it. It also looks like the same tabs element for the older versions too.
Can’t answer for the design options in the tabs element since I never done that before.
I hope I covered what you were asking otherwise I am not sure what you meant and I am sorry if I got that wrong.
I don’t see anything for bold on title in tabs element either.
Sorry, you meant the design options not showing up on dashboard as to set some designs for the element and not what I was saying to remove the nag that when you update the plugin. I think Tagdiv has it set the way it is to not show because of some issues or something like that.
So to change those settings you have to do as I said before like to get rid of nag to use the options on another theme and then go back to Newsmag but there is a chance you still can’t do much with the design options in what you want. I don’t know anything about deprecated error.
Hope I answered some of the questions.
Hi
1. @NM-user the theme blocks have fixed sizes and adding a new margin will create layout problem. Evan some default elements from VC have this margin and the best way is to add the margin manually for those which don’t have it set by default. So the margin will apply only for the specific element and won’t create layout issues. You can find the design options following this link: http://screencast.com/t/1LxD5ZQl
2. To make the titles of tabs bold try this css in theme apnel > custom css: http://screencast.com/t/Cbw363rC9P
-this is for the current tabs
.vc_tta-title-text{
font-weight: bold;;
}
this css is for deprecated tabs:
.wpb_tabs li a{
font-weight: bold;
}
3. We will release an update which will include the latest version of VC soon. At the moment we test the current plugin’s version with the theme so we make sure that works fine.
4. If you use some elements like Tabs, you will have to re-add them to your page as the VC developers have changed the classes, the design for them – http://screencast.com/t/3r1YoBw7
Thanks!
