FYI – On ThemeForest it’s still downloading version 7.7 and not 7.7.1

I have a valid license but cannot update the plugin. On the support page under licenses it shows up, but activation routine does not recognize. Do I really have to renew support to update the plugin, even if I have no support issue?

Your page seems rather out of date – the latest version available is incorrect and the changelog has not been updated. Having updated to v7.7 yesterday, it now tells me I need 7.7.1 but that doesn’t even appear to be available here?

I see column spacing is broken in 7.7 so I’m guessing you guys will release a patch. So I wanted to report a few things as well:

1. In the change log you have the following:

Fix: Nested elements have proper control colors in the user interface

But you forgot to fix the pointer color so it’s still yellow: https://a.cl.ly/X6uv85Zm

2. There are still a lot of debug errors in PHP 8.1+ and people have been reporting these for a while. I believe the quickest fix is to cast the $param_value to a string: https://a.cl.ly/yAuzkjEn – since WPBakery is shortcode based all parameter values should be strings anyway and this edit prevents passing a null value to the callback function which may use functions that depend on strings such as strcmp, explode, htmlspecialchars, etc. And the tweak only takes a couple seconds to make. Thank you for considering!

3. The new info icon seems a bit confusing as the icon is small and hard to read. From a UI perspective and keeping consistency with WordPress would you consider using a question mark instead? Like Gutenberg: https://a.cl.ly/RBuAyr0n

This keeps a consistent UI between WPBakery and WordPress which I think people would appreciate. Here is a link to the SVG: https://github.com/WordPress/dashicons/blob/master/svg-min/editor-help.svg

Additionally, sometimes the param descriptions are not just “info” but important notices like “Important: Do not enter x into this field” – so it would be nice if there was a way to have the old description below the field without creating a whole new param type for that. Perhaps a global filter to enable/disable the info icons would be amazing, thank you for considering!

As always, thank you for all your hard work and listening to feedback!

Hi, I am getting the following error message in the backend after updating to version 7.7 on multiple sites (cache is entirely cleared after update): Uncaught TypeError: this.content().find(...).data(...) is undefined (post.php) – parse js_composer/assets/js/dist/backend.min.js?ver=7.7:30. Also getting ‘Uncaught TypeError: n is null’ in wp-includes/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js. This also means that, in backend mode, the windows doesn’t close when clicking on ‘Save Changes’. Thank you.

Hello,

You have an error in your CSS : .vc_column_container > .vc_column-inner { box-sizing: border-box; padding-left: 30px/2; padding-right: 30px/2; width: 100%; }

for the padding you need to use : padding-left:calc(30px / 2);

Hi,

after just updating wpbaker pb to 7.7 the ultimate addons element „ult-content-box“ istn’t divided beside each other. The white gap beside is now filled with the bg-color oft he box. Please check.

Br, newbie2004

Hi, The latest update (7.7) is still not compatible with PHP 8.2 resulting in a WordPress Error and recovery mode. If I switch to PHP 7.4 everything works like normal however PHP 8.2+ is throwing the error below. I have tested this on multiple sites and its definately a bug with compatibility.

You might want to fix this quickly as Siteground (Hosting provider of 3million+ sites) has just started a rollout updating the default PHP version from 7.4 to 8.2. If Siteground are doing this now every other provider will follow shortly.

Reporting a couple debug errors in newer versions of PHP.

• For the iconpicker param type when using the setting “emptyIcon” set to true it triggers the following debug error:

PHP Deprecated: strcmp(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string1) of type string is deprecated in plugins/js_composer/include/params/iconpicker/iconpicker.php on line 132

This error will also occur if the iconpicker param type doesn’t have a defined value. So if you use:

'settings' => [ 'emptyIcon' => true ],

You also need to define:

'value' => '',

Which is redundant and pointless.

Proposed fix using WP core selected() function: https://a.cl.ly/8LuNpQWL

• For the “hidden” param type if there is no default value defined it will trigger the error:

PHP Deprecated:  htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in plugins/js_composer/include/params/hidden/hidden.php on line 16

Proposed fix casting variable to string: https://a.cl.ly/jkupmokv

Although, perhaps it’s best to cast the value earlier before it’s passed to any helper function because a similar error is triggered by the ‘attach_images’ param type:

PHP Deprecated:  explode(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($string) of type string is deprecated in js_composer/include/helpers/helpers.php on line 417

I could be wrong, but since WPBakery uses shortcode all param values should be strings. Editing the WpbakeryShortcodeParams renderSettingsField() and casting the $param_value variable would be best no? Like such: https://a.cl.ly/yAuzkjEn

Thanks!

ps: The github repo is still on 7.5 otherwise I would submit pull requests with the fixes.

There is a display bug with your FAQ accordion element. If you add one to a row, the STYLE dropdown shows in the correct position:

but if you choose Arrow for the STYLE, the dropdown jumps up and covers the bottom of the text area:

I confirmed this on 2 different sites with different themes. I would have told support, but I can’t without another license.

Hi,

I have taken over a client site from an agency, with WP Bakery. How can I adapt individual elements responsively with the WP Bakery page builder, e.g. spacing, heading sizes, widths, etc.?

I can only find the option to adjust the rows and cols according to the output device.

If I change the heading size in “Mobile” mode, it remains the same for the desktop version. Do I have to generate extra CSS styles here?

In the support docs I have also only seen the customisation of the blocks, but nothing for individual font sizes, spacing etc. Is it not as easy as with Elementor or GeneratePress, for example?

Thanks

Hi! We have been noticing issues with TinyMCE for some time now whenever we reopen a module containing a text editor. It frequently happens that TinyMCE does not reinitialize, even though there are no errors in the console. https://undsgn.d.pr/v/fvnX5m
br>In the video, we show an installation with a default theme and no other plugins except WP Bakery. Is this a known bug? Do you have any suggestions?

Is there any way to control how elements animate? When we set a row, cell or element to use one of your animations, it triggers when that thing comes into view.

What I am trying to do is to sequence columns or elements 1-4 (or whatever) to animate one after the other, rather than all at once.

I can hack around and add my own CSS to your elements to add animation-delay, but it would be nice if there were some easier way to just add a “sequence” checkbox option or something to what is already built in.

Am I missing a way to do this that is there already?

Hi,

I am trying to target the WordPress tinyMCE editor exclusively while not affecting the wp_editor() in WPBakery – so I’m hooking into tiny_mce_before_init to modify the settings – https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/tiny_mce_before_init/ – so I check the $editor_id to ensure I’m targeting only the editor I wish to target.

Everything works great in the frontend editor because there you add a hidden wp_editor() using the “vc-hidden-editor” ID but in the backend you are grabbing the post content editor so there is no way to target only the WP editor or the WPB editor exclusively and creates inconsistency between the frontend and backend.

Is there any chance in the next update could use the same vc-hidden-editor for the backend to ensure that the editor used for WPBakery is completely separate?

Thank you!

I would like to report and issue with the TranslatePress plugin.

public function get_shortcodes_css( $id, $type ) found in wp-content\plugins\js_composer\include\classes\core\class-vc-base.php

Instead of esc_html you are using esc_html__ , a gettext function inside. Please fix it with the next update as it conflicts with the TranslatePress functionality and custom CSS code is not correctly applied on translated pages.

Thank you!

Hi, first you rock, now 2 things

1- Bug : When i activate the google font locally then in some page specialy the intern pages not the home, it failed when i save…

2- It will be great if you ad an option to desactivate the unsused modules in order to increase the speed of the website. (like in PORTO THEME there is this possibility!)

Hi!, i had registered bakery in a client’s website, but he had cancelled his website and I had not access to unregister the plugin. How can I clear the plugging registry if I don’t have access to the website? thanks!!

This is very obnoxious: https://a.cl.ly/o0uL6QE9

Can we please get the ability to disable the scroll to function completely? I’m definitely not alone on hating the scroll to function when making changes in the admin.

Thanks!

I am still waiting for someone to help me. Support tickets are unanswered. I need to get access to my 5 licenses!

Hello! I use the WPBakery plugin on the front page of the site for posts, and today I noticed this problem? Does anyone know what this is about? Here: https://youtu.be/x4SP6k7LEIk
