Is there a way of getting WPBakery Visual Composer to work with the events pages of Event Espresso? and if so how?
I think an easy way of customising event pages is the only thing that’s missing from the extension, a way for a client to easily change how an event looks. the standard WYSIWJG editor in WordPress just doesn’t give you enough options.
Thanks

Hi Richard,
From the look of the video for WPBakery Visual Composer it looks like it takes over the WP Editor completely.
We only support native WordPress functions and features, and have also never tested EE with this plugin.
While we try our best to make EE play nicely with as many plugins and themes as possible, this is not always possible. This is especially the case if the theme/plugin deviates from WordPress development guidelines and functionality.
I will happily make a note on our feature request list regarding the idea of an easier to use editor for events.

Hi Dean,
that’s a shame as visual composers like this give clients an easy way to add tabbed sections, image sliders and columns etc. All things that are very useful when creating an event page.

Ah shame i was also looking for a way to integrate the visual composer into the EE pages. It doesn’t completely take over the editor it gives you an option to use the standard editor or use the visual composer (also its backwards compatible, you can change it back to html). Learndash for example plays nice wit visual composer.
It’s not just any plugin anymore it’s integrated in most of the big wordpress themes.
would appreciate if it could get onto the shortlist.

@richard and Fernand,
I’m Event Espresso’s lead developer. I looked at Visual Composer and it requires what they call “Visual Composer Add-ons” in order to work with anything other than standard WP post content. VC Addons are plugins that hook into Visual Composer to inject additional components that can then be added to your pages.
Here’s there example plugin for creating a VC Addon:
https://bitbucket.org/wpbakery/extend-visual-composer-plugin-example/src/23a71f2f485af28930c756dcfe5eb49e20aba02e/vc_extend.php?at=master
We can add this to our list of potential third party integrations, and if there are enough requests for it, then we might take it on. Another option of course is to sponsor the development of a Visual Composer Integration which Josh or Dean can give you more information about.
Hope this helps.
