About Visual Composer

RT-Theme 19 comes with a plugin called Visual Composer. The Visual Composer plugin can operate in two modes:

  1. Classic Editor mode. Which is like the normal way WordPress presents its editor (In this “normal editor mode” one has two modes : visual mode and text mode. The latter is what we call html mode)
  2. Backend Editor mode. The visual mode of the visual composer plugin in which you can add elements into a page and drag and drop them around where you want to have them. You can adjust each elements settings by the elements edit button.

Note : You can switch between the classic mode and backend mode without any problems. But be aware that once you start editing the shortcodes in classic mode that you do this correctly as unclosed shortcodes can cause issues in how you page will look in the front of your website.

Visual mode or Backend Mode of the Page

How to get into the visual mode of a page where you insert and drag around elements?

Note : We have disabled some modules in the Visual Composer. They can be enabled by modifying the Visual Composer Settings php file that comes with the theme. The file is called visual_composer_config.php and is located rttheme19/rt-framework/admin/editor folder.

we only disabled two elements :

vc_remove_element( ‘vc_tour’ );
vc_remove_element( ‘vc_gmaps’ );

Note : Visual composer rows does not work as fullwidth when used in single product pages. Its by design that they cant work.
