Hi,
We bought the ACF-VC Bridge plugin and Visual Composer plugin. Although both plugins are activated, the ACF-VC Bridge doesn’t see the Visual Composer plugin http://prntscr.com/nnydua .
Do you have any solution or hints for us?
Thanks,
Hi,
Can you make sure you have installed WP Bakery Page Builder (initial Visual Composer) https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 ? e.g. not the new Visual Coomposer https://visualcomposer.com/

Dear Pavelreva, I bought your plugin but when I use the ACF picker it does not show on the frontend. I use the Salient template. Can you please have a check?
Extra info: I use the picker with the Grid builder

Hi,
I would like to know how to display an acf-link as a button? Is there any way to insert a shortcode into the URL-field of a button or to use n individual shortcode to pick up the field in html?
Thanks, Katja
Hi Katja,
That’s not possible with VC and ACF, without doing custom coding.
On another hand, I’ve made another plugin Custom Page Templates which has Dynamic Values component. This allows dynamically replace shortcode attributes (like link attribute in VC button) with the value from ACF. You can see more here, there are demo videos.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Purchased your WP ACF-VC Bridge plugin last night. After reading the VC-Snippets description, I was hopeful it would allow me to do something that I have been unable to do otherwise, but it seems your plugin has the same limitations.
I’m hoping that I’m wrong, so I wanted to reach out and see if you have a solution.
What I’m wanting to do is almost exactly what the WP-Snippets states. Create a base template or set of templates that can be deployed throughout the site, yet all updated from the same single location.
Templatera does this as well, but it also has the same issue. Regardless how it is setup…via templatera or via your plugin, when you add the shortcode for a template into VC, it insists on wrapping it in a row and a column shortcode.
This completely throws off CSS selectors and rules already in place because now those items that were much higher in the hierarchy of the DOM are now nested within another set of Divs.
I realize that the row and column elements are required for everything to work properly, but even if my shortcode contains output that includes those items, it is still wrapped.
Any way around this with your plugin? So far, the best I’ve been able to do is to utilize the standard VC template for the row and column “shell” and then adding a shortcode within that generates the remainder of the code. Certainly not ideal, but it works.
I’d much prefer something more native and less “hacky”.
Hi,
Well, as you already know it, it’s just VC’s behavior to put everything inside row/column. The plugin doesn’t solve this problem, which is evidently very custom.
There are few things I can tell you to think about: 1) CSS styles can be designed in a more flexible way without using parent>child scheme. 2) What you want to do is generally possible to achieve by writing custom module which integrates with VC and prevents marked rows and columns from rendering themselves, and output just inner content instead. 3) If you’re dealing with templates, you may want to check my another plugin Custom Page Templates and dedicated website, which may help you looking at your setup from different angle.
If any questions, let me know.
Feel free to submit a refund request if there is no use for the plugin and you’re going to revoke your license.

I was afraid of that. I won’t be asking for a refund, I’ve got another project that it should come in handy on and it seems to be a solid plugin.
So your other plugin, would it address this issue? Most of the issues stem from custom shortcodes that output specific data from ACF-Pro fields in CPT’s I’ve created for various sections that repeat on each page so they can be centrally edited/updated. The ACF field’s are either made up of VC shortcodes that have some of the values dynamically updated via the shortcode then just run the shortcode and output to the page, that’s when they get wrapped and break the design.
Looks like your other plugin is more page oriented and not so much section oriented, but it might work if it is something that would address the issue of the items being wrapped.
The CSS issue can obviously be addressed for the most part, but that means updating sitewide CSS which is a pain, and it doesn’t necessarily address everything such as two sections that both have a background color different from the rest of the background…they work fine normally but when wrapped, then the new wrapper element doesn’t have that background and you get artifacts due to padding/margins/etc.
2 sounds like the ideal solution, but I’m not sure it’s something I’ll be able to accomplish. I’m a self-taught programmer and while I can usually take care of most tweaks, so far I haven’t had much luck finding precisely where in the code it occurs and the logic involved. I may need to see about hiring someone to custom code something. I would imagine it wouldn’t be a very complicated module to create once you know the area and the logic involved.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, another plugin is more page oriented. It has some nice and very unique feature – ability to replace any shortcode’s attribute or content with data from DB or whatever you put there if extended. Check Dynamic Values section, I bet you’ve never seen such and may find it usable in some projects.
Regarding your issue.. yeah, I totally understand. And you know your project better, I can only guess. If you’ll decide to make that custom code I’ve mentioned to prevent wrappers, start from discovering filter hooks in do_shortcode() WP function.

Hi,
Is there a possibility to copy and paste the VC shortcodes in my acf custom field ‘Visual Composer’?
I have a repeater field which contains visual composer fields. I want to copy the code from one field to the other, and then make some small modifications.
Kind regards
Hi,
To copy VC elements you need either VC Clipboard plugin or Custom Page Templates plugin which has such copy/paste functionality in place.
Another option, is just to switch to Classic Editor, then HTML and copy from one field.. Afterwards, in another VC field switch to Classic Editor -> HTML and paste copied content. Now you can switch back to Backend Editor and you’ll have it there.

Hi there, this is a presales question.
I’m making a news site and each post has a title and a custom field, in the home page I need to show some lists of posts (blocks of latest news, categories…) in which that custom field is show instead of the title.
So is it possible to create a snippet with your plugin and use it in a similar way as the WPBakery’s Post Grid element?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Well, you can actually just make your custom grid in Grid Builder where you put custom field. Or you can insert VC Snippet there if you want.
Let me know if you have other questions.

Hi, very nice plugin.
One Question: How can i display picture-acf-fields in Frontend? At the moment i can only show URL, ID, Array?
Thank you very much!
Hi,
What you’ve mentioned (URL, ID, Array) is ACF Field output settings when you retrieve it programmatically. If you’re not writing PHP code, you don’t need it.
In your page template, use ACF Field Picker component to output image in frontend.
Let me know if you have questions.

Thank you very much! At the first look it works! Maybe you can tell me, how a picture will open at lightbox and not as an seperate page. Extra plugin needed?

Hi Pavel!
I have a problem with field picker.
I´m building a website with a post template, using WP Bakery, ACF and your plugin. This is the post template appearance:
https://prnt.sc/mazouh The content in left sidebar is in front using field picker. This is the post template what client see when he clicks on “Add a new post” button in Dashboard: https://prnt.sc/mazpvvThe problem isthe next one: when user is adding a new post and chosing the post template, he enters data in ACF fields and doesn´t appears automatically in ACF field picker when he´s Publishing the post.
This is the process: 1) My client click on “Add a new post” 2) He enters data in ACF fields 3) He publish post
Like this: https://prnt.sc/mazwtxThe problem is that ACF field pickers are not showing the info and this is the results when he publish the post.
This is the result: https://prnt.sc/mb0eeiThe only way to show the data enter in ACF fields is accessing in every acf field picker, don´t touching anything and saving field picker and that´s very improductive for my client.
Do you know why is that? How could you resolve this isuue?
Please answer as quickly as you can because I am totally stucked becasuse of this issue.
If you want to test, I´ve created an user for you.

Hi, thanks for the details and wp admin access. For the future, never share credentials publicly, instead send me private message. For now, I’ve changed the password already, but not sure if it was used by someone during the 22hrs since it was published.
Regarding your issue. In your template for new post (I guess you’re setting it programmatically as I didn’t find it in admin), instead of using “This Page” field context, use “Custom” context, because “This Page” is bound to current page only (this is why you need to re-save), while “Custom” context isn’t tied with a particular page.
Let me know if you have questions.

Error. Not private message
Hi There!
Hi! Nice to meet you I bought this plugin because it seems interesting for a project that I’m going to start.
In my first test with a “repeater field” it does not show the subfields.Instead it displays the following text “array, array, array, array”
The repeater field is made with taxonomies (label and categories)
This is the link: https://wordketing.com/estudio2041/uncategorized/realizacion/
Could you please help me to undertand why is happenning
I´m sure it´s easy to fix, but I really don´t know how. Thansk so much for your help

Hello, why come you don’t update often this because of ACF PRO plugin, at least. It’s always outdated. I sent you an e-mail, and got no answer for this. Is there a place where i get this quickier and as soon is out ?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t get a reply. However, I don’t see your email in my inbox. I wonder what email address you used? Also, sending a private message usually works.
I do update ACF PRO, but not each minor version. If it happens that a customer experiences any issues just because ACF PRO is not the latest, then I update it by request immediately. Currently ACF PRO 7.5.9 version is inside.
