Search Results for 'visual composer'

Are your referring to "visual composer" plugin from WP Bakery?

If yes, it is a popular plugin with lot of users. But Genesis folks prefer manual building 😉

I just made a site using Themeforest's Ausart: beckygloriod.com. The theme is beautiful, but slow. The SEO isn't good because Visual Composer conflicts with Yoast products. Our SEO numbers aren't good, so I'm working on it as much as I can. They recommended dsIDXpress, so that's what I used with that site.

For the Berkshire Hathaway office, if you had to create a mobile-ready real estate site for an office of 30 agents, what theme and IDX product would you use? It sounds like you know what you're doing. I would like to stay on the Genesis platform where I can develop locally on DesktopServer.

I don't know what you mean by IDX B's "Original". What IDX should I use? I need to update the whole site.

On Themeforest, I bought 3 themes that said they had built-in real estate searches that worked with IDX, but when I tried them, the search only worked for properties you add to the site yourself. The searches didn't work with IDX at all. I was SO frustrated, and I lost a lot of time. The 4-month development time on Ausart made me do research and find the Genesis platform. I've been using Executive Pro as the child theme.

I want to make sure that I have the right, the best, real estate theme on the Genesis platform and the best IDX product available for this development. I can't spend 4 months ever again on development!!!!

I appreciate your help! M@=)

Hi,
This is actually a great illustration of the potential weaknesses of "magic styling add-ons". 🙂

Your .entry-content DIV is massively overflowing, so the fix you described will put a speed brake on that. 🙂 But it will not solve the entire problem. The basic problem is that you're using Visual Composer to play with the width of things inside the content area, and they're getting too large, so the whole thing is spewing out the side. You can try adjusting the sizes of all those items.

There are way too many elements for me to point out which ones are too massive, I'm afraid. At least this will point you in the right direction.

Good luck,
Dave

I would like to create a global style for my blog pages but I'm not sure how to achieve this. all I really want to do is ad a header image that will appear on all blog pages. So I started by defining the blog page in settings and then thought I would be able to style the blog page with visual composer but once I assign the blog page in settings the editor in the page settings goes missing.

Can anyone please help me with this? I am using Altitude Pro.

Thanks

[ghog]

Ok I hope I can explain what I want to achieve here and someone can help me out.

I am using Altitude Pro and have created a page for services. I am using Visual Composer and Sticky Widget plugin. When the page scrolls the menu on the left sticks which I want I want to achieve. Now what I would like to do is add anchors to the menu items that will scroll to the relevant sections on the page. For instance the first side menu item is Home Loans and the menu link is: mysite/services/#homeloans So the question is can I add that class to Visual Composer rows so the anchor link scrolls to the section?

Thanks

This CSS will eliminate the white banding.

.page-id-25 .site-inner {
	margin-top: 70px;
}

article.post-25  {
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}

.page-id-25 .content {
	padding-bottom: 0px;
}

.page-id-25  .site-container > div > div > main > article > div > div:nth-child(5)  {
	margin-bottom: 0px;
}

To make the middle band white, make the change in Visual Composer or try this CSS:

.page-id-25 .site-container > div > div > main > article > div > div:nth-child(1) > div.upb_row_bg {
	background: #fff !important;
}

Since you're going for a white background, why use Visual Composer at all?

Hello everyone,

i try it now since 5 days to fix it. But i am desperate. ^^.

Thats my test-site (Genesis Framework - Parallax Pro):

http://smilingtara.com/index.php/25-2/

i made it with visual composer and the addons.

I deleted the modifications, to explane it better.

You see above willkommen bei smiling tara a white color. I can fix it. No problem and under Hier geht es zum Blog! i can fix the white field too.

Now In my browser works fine. If i show it in other modus like tablet or smartphone, it looks terrible.

How i can pull the text with willkommen bei smiling ..... under the parallax menue and deleted the white space?

And works all responsive?

I hope you can help me 🙂

Okay, Ben, well, I'm not here to argue if that's your objective. I was merely telling the truth; other than Sixteen Nine, 8 or so months ago, Studiopress hasn't put out a child theme in about a year. What's wrong with being truthful?

And I'd have to object to a comment you made, Ben. If you looked at the site linked by the original poster, Jennifer, you'd see he's running Thesis. But hey, have at it.

I'm aware of Rebecca and live near her here in Detroit, Michigan, but am not a competitor. I don't run a full-time SEO business anymore; I choose clients carefully and selectively, so I can offer my full devotion as I build my nonprofit organization.

I'm also aware of Eric's strengths at Cobalt. As far are not being optimized, however, I would disagree with you on that one -- depending on what you mean by "optimized". Optimized for search marketing purposes? Optimized for speed? Optimized for mobile devices? Optimized for ___ type of performance? "Optimized" is a vague term.

I wouldn't consider Dynamik a "page builder" (a-la Visual Composer), which does create a lot of divs and spans and junk code. It's a full-fledged Genesis child theme; it's just that simple. Likewise, Extender isn't a "page builder" either that adds divs and spans; you still negotiate WordPress posts and pages as normal without all those page-building buttons that create the cluttered code. Extender merely extends the functionality of the Genesis Framework.

Being knowledgeable in php, html5, etc., server performance and optimization is all wonderful. But I wouldn't mislead the original poster, Jennifer.

In almost all cases, the ultimate objective is not merely to create a wonderful site, but to ensure the client can negotiate his or her site so it's easily maintained by the client themselves and they don't have to rely on us to continually charge them to service or upgrade their site.

Visual Composer is popular; I get it. From an SEO standpoint, it adds all kinds of div and span tags, makes the code messy ... adds to page load times.

I'm just not a big fan of page builders.

With Genesis Extender, you can do a lot of things like create a static homepage with a ton of different looks -- without creating a page. You can have a ton of different custom image sizes. You'll have custom hooks, functions, css, etc. ...

I just think it's a great tool for all Genesis users.

You need a page template. Here's an example:
Gist

If you add a body-class) you can use CSS targetting the body class for edge-to-edge.

Lots of reference for this using Beaver Builder (not Visual Composer).

Hi! I am struggling to configure my Genesis framework to get me a full width 12/12 columns content so that i could use the Visual Composer plugin to make further modification. Thanks in Advance.

Hi there,

This site is using a tool called Visual Composer, a page builder tool with the Altitude Pro theme to create that section. You can find this on code canyon dot net

This might be an option. Or, you I would experiment with one of the front page widgets that are looking to hold 3 text widgets and use Featured Page widgets instead. You might get close enough that you'd only have to tweak a little CSS. If that is the case post back here with the link for assistance.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

That site is using a tool called: Visual Composer: Page Builder for WordPress

http://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431

Or, you might experiment with the various widget areas on Altitude Pro and using 3 Featured Page widgets instead of text widgets for example and see if that gets you close. If it is close perhaps all you will need are a few CSS adjustments to line everything up. Post back here if that ends up being the case!

Hi all,

I'm in the middle of developing a site for a friend photographer.
She wants a 'masonry' style homepage and portfolio pages.
But this masonry must conform to certain rules:
Images are always square (1:1) or double square (2:1 or 1:2).
At the moment I've build the homepage following these rules and she is very happy with it:
http://mgf.woohoodesign.nl
The homepage is a combination of 5 posts and 6 menu-items (Styling, Kinderen etc.) linking to the 6 different parts of her portfolio.
I use the Genesis Extender plugin (from Cobalt Apps) to build the homepage. It consists of 11 widgets in which I use the 'Genesis Sandbox - Featured Content' plugin to get all the content displayed. The beauty of this plugin is that you can offset which post or page (with thumbnail) to display in a certain widget.
A similar layout will be used for the 6 portfolio pages, where about 10 - 12 photo's will be displayed. I can use the same technique as I've done for the homepage, but that means that there will be another 60 or more widgets to be controlled from the WordPress Widgets page. But I don't think that's a very clever way to do this.
What I really would like to do, is create some logic so every Portfolio page with 10-12 photo's is rendered dynamically within the strict (squares and double squares) masonry-like layout.
At this moment I don't know how to do this, or where to look for an easy or understandable solution.
I can't and will not ask for a complete solution, but I would like to be pointed in the right direction.
Maybe it can be done with the use of the Genesis Extender plugin, or maybe with Visual Composer (Although I have not had any good results using Visual Composer. It might be possible to build a page that looks like the layout I made for the homepage, but I haven't found out (yet) how to 'connect' all these individual parts together. As far as I know, they can only be treated as individual elements and that is not what I want).

Any help is very much appreciated.

DKrause,
I was wondering if you finally got it all working with Genesis and Visual Composer.
Currently, I have a similar question from one of my clients, and have looked at VC but was not able to get specific widgets in the different areas. At the moment I've created a similar design using Genesis Extender from Cobalt Apps (see: http://mgf.woohoodesign.nl).
Would you share your thoughts on using VC in combination with Genesis?

[dkrause]

I'm considering Modern Portfolio for a new site for a client, but she likes the masonry grid look. Is it possible to alter the size/dimension of the image boxes on the home page of Modern Portfolio?

I tried out Visual Composer but am having issues with a few things and I'm extremely disappointed in the level of support. Can't find answers to my questions (which seem pretty simple) in their knowledge base, and they've made it virtually impossible to actually submit a support ticket.

I'd love to stick with a StudioPress theme, so I'm wondering if it's possible to modify Modern Portfolio to give me a bit of a masonry grid look.

No current URL to post; just researching right now.

1. Mobile touch screen devices don't support the hover action. For mobile devices, you must provide a method for clicking otherwise you'll never get the menu to work.

2. The Outreach Pro home page by design displays its content through widgets. What do you mean by "actual content?"

3. Never used the WPBakery Visual Composer. Can't help you here.

Hi,
We are using the Outreach Pro theme on this website:
http://hemotek-dev.lyndabanks.net/

There are a couple things we are running into, and I'm hoping that somebody on the forum could please help us with this. I'm a developer that just started helping with this site, and I've never worked with Genesis before. I don't want to just start from scratch because the site is so close to finished.

Anyway, so far here's what I've been unable to figure out:
1. If you look at the site we have drop-down menus where the top level item is not a page, simply a custom link. This works fine in desktop view but when I resize the browser window or view the site on a mobile device nothing happens when you click the name of those top level items while the inteded behavior should be to show the submenu. You have to click the little down area to access the submenu. So I would like to know where exactly the code that powers the menu is located. I looked in header.php but there doesn't really seem to be anything there.
2. On the home page (under the slider), only the widgets show. We would prefer to show the actual content of the "Home" page.
3. I prefer to use the WPBakery Visual Composer plugin which is fantastic. However, as soon as I Activate it in WordPress, it entirely breaks the Genesis Responsive Slider. The only solution I came up with is to disable the plugin which while fixing the slider doesn't really solve the problem 🙂

We are kind of on a time crunch which is why I'm helping complete this site. Any ideas or suggestions to fix these bugs would be much appreciated. The Outreach Pro theme is otherwise excellent. Thanks in advance,
Michael
