WP Bakery Basic Tips

First of all WP Bakery very easy to use drag-drop page builder. We already create theme core element with our own icon. We suggest you to use theme own elements.

On WP Bakery there are few things that you should know it. We use "SECTION" for each row. After you add row automaticly covers with "section" tag. After starts WP Bakery own row system and after "CONTAINER". To use container you should go ROW SETTINGS to select wrap with "Container" option. Rest is easy like bootstrap.

Each section has top and bottom spacing. To disable that option you can go ROW SETTING and click 3rd tab Drection Options than you can see "Add Theme Default Padding" ? you can select no and your own spacing using "Design Options".

Creating Column with WP Bakery

When you start to create page using WP Bakery there are some column options that you can manage. When you add "ROW" it automaticly add 1 column to make that column 2 or 3 left top side has "LINE" icons describe colums that you need. After you select columns on your row you can click pen "Column Setting" and than as you can see click "Responsive Options". On this options there are 4 device type that you can display for each display differennt column grid. When you add default columns it use that grid system for "Tablet" devices. Just make sure Desktop you want to use or different. WP Bakery is very easy to use page builder. You can learn or improve your building skills by time.

All footer and sidebar contents comes from widgets section. If you want to change something on sidebar or footer go Appaerance >> Widgets page to edit related content with widgets.

Make Your Site Faster

Get a good hosting You may not think that this is important, but if you want your site to display really fast you need to get a good hosting. This is the first step in having a fast site, which also translates into more views, which also translates into a better SEO, which finally translates into more sales. (affiliate links below) There are three hosting companies which i recommend:

Optimize images

Always optimize/compress your jpeg images before uploading them to the server. Large images should be compressed at around 90% image quality and you should also try to limit the use of lossless image files (uncompressed pngs).

Use a caching plugin

I can’t recommend enough the necessitiy go good caching. If you use a managed hosting such as WPEngine you don’t need this. But if you are using ASO or MT or any other hosting you need to cache your content. For this purpose, i recommend W3 Total Cache! It’s a great and easy to use plugin, and with only a bit of work you can double your site’s speed. See this ticket for more info on how to configure this plugin:
