[v1.8.0 Note] Changes in theme's custom code for Visual Composer
Since the theme v1.8.0, most custom code for overriding Visual Composer's elements are deprecated. A little drawback is that it might affect some of previous elements that you are using in your theme. But it will be greater in a long run for supporting plugin's stability and its powerful features.
Some affected elements are:
- Button
- Previous one is deprecated.
- Any icon that you were putting in the old button will not display.
- Button shape (square, radius, and round) will not display correctly as it might only display as square shape.
- Solution: Remove the old one and instead use the new Button element from the list.
- Single Image
- "on click" attribute of the element will be reset.
- Solution: Edit the element and select the attribute again.
- Note: You can use "border" extra class name for displaying border around image.
- Image Gallery
- Caption will not display.
- You might need to respecify image size.
- Note: You can use "circle" extra class name for making the gallery grid displaying as circular shape.
- Call-to-action Box
- Previous one is deprecated.
- Text in the old box might disappear.
- Solution: Remove the old one and instead use the new CTA element from the list.
- You can enter either "bottom-line", "right-line", "left-line" or "top-line" into the extra class name field of the newer element to display the accent-color line on the box.
- You can enter "header-has-line" into the extra class name field of the newer element to display the line under the CTA title.
- Progress Bar
