Core/universal settings after transitioning from Cornerstone to WP Bakery

[rosiewrose]

We painstakingly converted our entire sites (X Theme) from Cornerstone to WP Bakery, after errors with WPML could not be resolved, and forum comments seemed to indicate that there was no solution in sight.

Now with latest updates, translation errors are back, and we realized that the team doing the transition left a lot of Cornerstone code and style sheets in. We are trying to clean this up, so we do not constantly run into WPML problems with Cornerstone. So, the goal is to remove Cornerstone and run the site on WP Bakery instead.

The problem is now, that all the core universal settings about formatting, footer, etc. have previously been done in Theme options, which seems to be operated by Cornerstone? The universal settings in WP Bakery are much more basic, and when our developer defined a grid and certain formats in CSS, it seemed to overwrite the adaptive/responsive settings, so the site started looking awful in different sizes.

What do you recommend?
Where would we define the theme settings that are currently set in Cornerstone?
Or, is there a way to continue using this, but having Cornerstone turned off for the site?
How to we transition to WP Bakery without upsetting the responsive formatting settings?

Hello, did I describe this confusingly?
Is it possible to use the Cornerstone settings for the X Theme, but deactivate the plugin on the site, so that it does not cause problems with WPML?

Hi Rosie,

Unfortunately, the Cornerstone settings can’t be used if the plugin is deactivated.

Thanks

Without it installed the options are in wp_options. Look for anything preceded by x_ in that database table. You could also try just turning it on to change settings then turning it off. For some of the options I think it might need Cornerstone activated though.

Thank you, we will test it out.
