    Hey Guys & Gals,

    Is it possible to use the Visual Composer plugin on the Genesis platform? Having no luck finding it yet I've read that it does work on some forums.

    If not, what is the best way to create different columns on a specific page? Need to create 3 columns for different classes. Thanks!

    I'm messing with column classes in the text area, but seems a little funky.

    Visual composer does work on genesis, I have used it. There is also http://www.wpexplorer.com/symple-shortcodes/ which is free and very easy to use.

    There's a plugin called Genesis Easy Columns - I highly recommend it.

    I too have used VC for Genesis but I honestly feel that almost all the features are easily handled with either a bit of know how or free plugs, such as Andrea's suggestion.

    My knowledge of code is almost zero but after a while you pick things up.

    If there's one thing I do know..........
    Too many plugins cause bloating and complications down the road.
    For the most part it's best to handle style/layout issues with CSS.
