Visual Composer is a powerful editing tool for WordPress, allowing you to create complex layouts.
To simplify, Visual Composer (VC) works with rows, columns, and content blocks.
Starting with a blank page, you have the possibility to add an element (block), a shortcut to the basic text block, or load a template (See Visual Composer – Templates). There is also a link to the knowledge base of Visual Composer, which is more detailed than the present one on this specific matter.
Once you decide to add an element, you will have multitude of options. It is impossible for us to explain how each of these options are working. We advise you to try them on a test page to see how they work.
You have the possibility to search for a specific content block, or to browse them by categories.
Here are a few of the content blocks available:
- Row
A row is by default added if you add a content block out of a container (row / page section). It can be divided in columns. - Text block
A text block is the default content block, it is basically the same as the content editor in the Classic Mode. - Tabs
