hi – i’ve gone through all of the knowledge base for basics, but i can’t seem to find a tutorial on how to use basic rows, colums, content bands etc. I found shortcode videos which i watched, but i’m just trying to figure out when to use a row, when to use an element, and when making content bands (like in the renew stack), how do it set them up (before i go into the detailed customization) to get images and text into them.

sorry i’m a beginner!

thanks

Hi Juana,

Thanks for writing in.

In standard format row is [content_band][/content_band] and column is [column][/column], this should be in right hierarchy.

Eg. [content_band][column] ... content here ... [/column][/content_band]

In visual composer, it’s equivalent is this, [vc_row][vc_column] ... content here ... [/vc_column][/vc_row], but since it’s visual composer then you don’t have to worry. It will create correct format/hierarchy for you unless you will edit it at classic editor which may corrupt your VC format.

Here is a sample of a row with 3 column.

[content_band]

[column type="one-third"] ... content here ... [/column]
[column type="one-third"] ... content here ... [/column]
[column type="one-third"] ... content here ... [/column]

[/content_band]

The equivalent in VC is :

[vc_row]
[vc_column width="1/3"] ... content here ... [/vc_column]
[vc_column width="1/3"] ... content here ... [/vc_column]
[vc_column width="1/3"] ... content here ... [/vc_column]
[/vc_row]

Hope this helps.

hi again:) thanks for your answer but unfortunately it was a bit too much code for me:)

When do I use a row in visual composer? and when do i use an element?

Do i need to input a row first and then add the element to it?

thanks

Hi Juana,

I suggest you should use Visual Composer 🙂

You have to add row first. But in visual composer, column will be added automatically too with just 1 column. So it’s like adding row and then add element. And you will only add column if you require more than one column.

If you click add element without adding a row, then it will add separate row to wrap the element you added. You can do trial and error, it will not harm your content as long as you don’t save it 🙂

Cheers.

Hi,

May you please inform me where I can find Visual Composer tutorial regarding adding list box, text box, etc. and connect those elements to wordPress database?

Thank you

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is no available feature such as that for VC. You could be looking for a 3rd party plugin like forms that allows saving to database. For example, contact form 7 and its database extension.

Thanks for understanding.
