Hi,

I’m currently running version 7.5, but I’m about to update to version 8.1 using FTP. I see that there is now a TagDiv composer which looks great.

I have VC running, but only for pages not posts, however on pretty much all my posts I make use of the following VC shortcode:

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"]
content
[/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"]
content
[/vc_column][/vc_row]

(I just manually add it to the html)

By upgrading to version 8.1 and making use of the TagDiv composer instead of VC, will all these shortcodes break?

Thanks.

Hi,

The tagDiv composer is built to make the transition easier from Visual composer. The same row and column shortcodes are used

– https://forum.tagdiv.com/visual-composer-tagdiv-composer-transition/
However if you used these shortcodes on posts, this may not work properly when the tagDiv composer is active. Additionally the 2 column row layout was not recommended to be used with Visual composer.
You could make the theme update and see what happens. Make a backup before. If there are problems deactivate the tagDiv composer plugin (it will be activated automatically)
