can i set the home page without the Visual Composer ? coz ii dont want to use the Visual Composer ?
Hello,
Yes you can actually. The homepage can be set to show your latest posts from wordpress from the reading settings: http://screencast.com/t/aV9dpsqW
Thank you!
Can you tell , can i also add the blocks and module there,, plz guide me in this regard
Modules and blocks only work with visual composer. No visual composer means no modules and blocks. On pages you will not be able to use theme. You can use modules on category templates but that;s about it. If you want to build a custom homepage with block elements, you will need visual composer. If you select a blog style homepage, you can change the module used by the theme to display the articles but you cannot customize anything beyond that.It will be just likie a category page. You can choose the article display and the sidebar, but no custom positioning or layouts without visual composer. Here is where you will find the setting: http://screencast.com/t/pF8kD3Ci
Thank you!
In my all posts I don’t need to use visual composer, but its same time I use it for only home page custom settings, and I think this is the heavy plugin, which we only use for a homepage, does it make sense ?
I think it slows the site speeds, that’s why I wanna remove the plugin
and can you show me a demo or screenshot of the homepage without the visual composer? so that I can test on it by removing VC.
Thanks 🙂
Sure.
The homepage without visual composer will look depending on the post style you choose. It is basically a list of all your posts in the latest to oldest fashion and pagination . Depending on the module you choos it will look like these examples:

etc.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.
you think , site gets slow with VS?
and how to chose blog option for making home page without VS?
The homepage can be set to show your latest posts from wordpress from the reading settings: http://screencast.com/t/aV9dpsqW
Then you can choose the blog template from here: http://screencast.com/t/xuYsNaGQL
Thanks for you revert, do you think site gets slow with VS plugin,
can you brief me about it
Hi,
Well it does slow down the site that’s for sure but this depends on how may elements you use. Everything you add extra every plugin every block every animation every image slows down the site a tiny bit. All together if there are many complex elements will result in slow loading sites. Not using visual composer will result in a faster website but you will be better off optimizing your site rather than not using the theme blocks and grids. You will get better speeds just by optimizing your site rather than just removing VC. Try to optimize your webste using this guide: https://forum.tagdiv.com/how-to-make-the-site-faster/
Test your site with google page speed and gtmetrix beforehand, and then test after the optimization. After you increased your speed try to simply disable visual composer and then test again to see how much the speed increases and if it;s worth it.
Thank you!
Thank You so very much, from starting m using the VS now i wanna see without it .. lets see how it works!
Hello , so there is something wrong with home page Permalink – first, is created with VS, – http://curiosityhuman.com/curiosityhuman-top-10-stimulating-lists/ ,
and now this is from the new without VS – http://curiosityhuman.com/ – How to Change meta Description ?
CAN YOU TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH IT . THEY BOTH ARE OPENING IN SAME PAGE BUT WITH DIFFERENT POSTS AND PAGES .
HOW TO DO WITH THIS ?
The difference between them is one is a page created in visual composer, and the other is your homepage blog setting from wordpress. The homepage is created by wordpress and styled by the theme and the other one is a page you created. This is a page you created: http://curiosityhuman.com/curiosityhuman-top-10-stimulating-lists/
this is created by wordpress to display as your homepage: http://curiosityhuman.com/
Thank you!
So, if i wanna change the meta description of new home page, where I cn do that,
And the page that I created with VS,now that’s showing with mess codes and short codes, what to do with that page.??
I believe when you might have working u assumed that this case will happen.. So u have better answer to tell me what to do with that old home page
You can simply delete it. If you do not want to use visual composer you will have to remove any pages that have been created with visual composer as they will not work anymore. If you do not know how to delete pages please refer to the wordpress documentation/forums for wordpress settings and features.
If you want to change the meta description for the homepage you can use seo yoast to do it. Please read this topic:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-meta-description-to-homepage-using-yoast/
Thank you!
Yes, i dont want use VS, is it okay to delete that page from the site? de-indexing would better ?
Well it’s your choice at the end of the day. You can choose to delete or de-index the page or mark it as private or whatever setting you figure to be the best decision for your particular case. I prefer just deleting pages I do not use but again, every user has he’s own preference.
Thank you!
