WP Bakery - no visual editor

[lyrical]

I have 2 older sites that were built with WP Bakery before Cornerstone. Because of all the shortcode, I didn’t want to rebuild the site with Cornerstone.

Now the visual editor is missing and just the HTML editor is there. This is unacceptable and we need this corrected.

Please advise.

Hey @lyrical,

Visual Composer was never removed from X. The only change was this:

@Themeco1

###Why do my Visual Composer rows and columns look broken after this update?

Go to WPBakery Page Builder Settings > General and make sure “Legacy X Integration” is enabled. A common request we get is to not overwrite parts of the WPBakery Page Builder. We are committed to keep supporting sites from the early days of X where Visual Composer was our page builder but we’ve consolidated all that integration code under one setting. It used to be enabled by default, but you will now need to opt-in to using it.

If you’ve edited your pages without enabling Legacy X Integration, X Integrated elements will be wrapped in Visual Composer’s Text Block element which is likely the case you’re experiencing now.

Please watch the video below to see the issue and the solution.

If that is not the issue, please give us WordPress Admin access so we could check your setup.

Thanks.
