What it does
Building custom layouts in WordPress often means editing templates or writing shortcodes by hand. This plugin replaces that work with a visual editor. You place content elements on the page, arrange them into rows and columns, and see the result as you go. There is a frontend editor for working directly on the live layout and a backend editor inside the WordPress admin, so you can pick the view that suits the task.
The plugin comes with a template library you can start from and customize, plus over 50 content elements such as buttons, sliders, grids and tabs. Responsive settings let you adjust how columns and content behave on desktops, tablets and phones. A grid builder handles post, portfolio and product layouts, a role manager controls who can use the editor, and it works with WPML and other translation plugins for multilingual sites.
Best for
- Site owners building custom pages without writing code
- Freelancers and agencies creating client layouts quickly
- Multilingual sites that use WPML for translations

Questions about WPBakery Visual Composer JS Composer
Do I need coding skills to build pages with this plugin?
No. You build pages by dragging content elements into rows and columns and changing their settings. The frontend editor shows your changes as you make them, so you can design and adjust layouts without touching code.
Will it work with my current theme?
The plugin is designed to work with most WordPress themes and with many popular plugins. It adds its own editor and content elements on top of your theme, so you can build custom layouts inside your existing design.
Can I control how pages look on phones and tablets?
Yes. Responsive design controls let you adjust column and layout settings for desktops, tablets and smartphones, so you can fine tune how each section displays on different screen sizes.
Can I limit which users are allowed to edit layouts?
Yes. The role manager lets you control access to the editing features by user role. This is useful on sites with several contributors or on client sites where only certain people should change page layouts.
