Hi there,
I rely on visual composer on many parts of my site and I am bored of errors, related to bugs mostly due to your custom version.
Here are some I can define specific for VC:
1. Custom fonts do not work out of the box, a CSS fix is needed (fixed temporarily)
2. Excerpt length cannot be changed by classic functions.php code
3. You cannot insert featured image in any part except whole background at custom grid builder
4. Gaps and margins are not controlled at background easily, css fixes needed
Probably there are many more, come on guys, please help on these!!!
Hello,
1) You will need to specify for what element you need the fonts changed as different parts of a page is controlled by different font settings here: http://screencast.com/t/tZgkJgLnIFB
2) The theme has a custom excerpt system but unfortunately it does not control the excerpts in visual composer. The excerpts on a post grid for example come from visual composer but there is no option for length.https://wpbakery.atlassian.net/wiki/display/VC/Grid+Builder You can however add custom excerpts on the post itself in which case both the theme and visual composer will use that particular excerpt you set.
3)In our theme you can only add a featured image on posts. There is no option for pages. You can do it however by altering the theme files. To add this functionality you have to insert this code in functions.php file: http://screencast.com/t/E9FpfjvDm9On
add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
4)Please provide more details as to what gaps and margins do not work properly.
Thank you!
I am talking about visual composer specifically grid builder.
Nothing related to post or page builders.
Your answers are related to general theme functionality, which was not in question.
Please check Visual Composer – Grid Builder; it has lots of problems.
Hello,
1) Unfortunately the grid builder font does not get applied by the settings, so custom css must be used.
2) The excerpt length cannot be changed from the grid builder nor the theme. There is no option for it.
3) The featured image gets grabbed from the posts. You cannot set a featured image inside the grid builder.
4) You will have to use css for them also.
Unfortunately the grid builder still has issues like the rest of visual composer but these issues are not theme related. If you test the grid builder on a WP default theme you will see that it has the same issues. We will have to wait until the developers at visual composer update their plugin and fix these issues.
Thank you!
