@mmakijenko Hi, well to make it simple, i like your product alot :) i would appreciate yet : (1) a better ACF integration (the ability to catch each ACF field of current user / all users / current page / current post etc) in a nice "block" and (2) a better template management : add 1 block and link this block to template 123. So each time i update "template element 123" il will reflect on all pages but only on this precise place. That way i could create "myfooter1" template and as soon as i update this block all pages using it would be updated also. For now, i use templates but it seems not to update... Also the ability to "backup" my templates (download them) :)

@florian_martin Thanks for joining in! And, I am more than happy to say that we have solutions for your requests in the Premium version of Visual Composer: 1) We have Dynamic Content option that allows replacing the static content with the custom fields. With that said, we offer seamless integration with the ACF, WooCommerce, and other custom field plugins. 2) Global template add-on allows to create global templates, add them to your page via global template element and they will be updated once you update the global template 3) Template Import/Export is also available as a part of the Global Template add-on that comes with the Premium version.

@raitis_sevelis thanks :) actually i have the premium version ;) the problem with the ACF as it's integrated is that i can't querry 'current post" or "all posts"... i can querry "post ID = xxx"... well if i have 10 posts, i want probably to querry the ACF of the current post. I made a workaround in PHP, but if there is a "native VC" solution i would adore to see it :) thanks for the "global template" i will check it out :) :) :)

Table 2 Site

Visual composer was the first popular, large-scale page builder for WordPress. However, since then many competitors have surfaced and in my opinion (as a developer, I should state), they are faster, their code is cleaner, and their footprint & output is smaller.

@poehah Maarten, thanks for the recognition. One thing, here at Product Hunt we announced a new builder that is rewritten from the grounds up (React, no shortcodes, etc.), and performance is exceptional. I hope you will be curious and will have time to check it out. Have a great day ahead!

@poehah no, not yet. Our primary focus now is on the development of the product. My personal opinion and feeling are that it is much faster compared to the past product.

@mmakijenko I wonder if it wasn't a good idea to rebrand into a different name. I'm sure more people like me out there are associating you with the old visual composer. Then there's also WPBakery which I don't know what the story is behind but it's confusing :-). By doing a bit of research for this comment, I found out that the old visual composer is now called wpbakery and the new visual composer is called visual composer. Personally, I think that should have been the other way around. If you want to make a fresh start, rebrand completely. I'm sure you must have heard others being confused! Thanks for your replies!

@poehah Thanks, for the input! we decided to carry on our brand to the new product. And yes, you are right we are dealing a lot with confusion that we try to solve and address. I'm glad that now there are more people (you) that know that difference :)

Allows me (and my clients) almost magical control over the design layout and elements of our website pages - without having to know a bit of HTML.

I am beyond excited to help launch the Visual Composer Website Builder for WordPress. I have been extremely fortunate to collaborate with the Makers (Michael and Raitis) and I am blown away by their passion and skills for making killer WordPress products. As a WordPress site owner, I'm always looking for new tools to help run my sites faster while looking current. Visual Composer has become my go-to solution for my agency and my clients. If you're on WordPress check out their free or premium solutions. You won't be disappointed. There is a reason that big brands trust VC.

I like how it's easy to set up and get going with a huge library of templates. You'll love it if you're tying to get a beautiful site launched quickly on Wordpress.

As a user of both the previous version (now WPBakery Page Builder) and new Visual Composer with a developer license, initial thoughts were very good of the new version in terms of performance and elements available, however as we put into practice we found it somewhat limited and we still find ourselves using the older version as it has better options still in terms of the post grid builder and shortcode mapper for our specific needs although we do recognise the new version caters for many with a lot of pre built elements but personally feel it could be more beneficial to someone who has a more creative background than technical background, which I suppose is the target audience anyway. That being said the new Visual Composer also caters well for developing your own custom elements. In general we personally found the navigation through sections and rows and nested rows a bit confusing but if not coming from the old version I wouldn't see this as an issue as it is more in line with other builder available, but for those coming from the previous version, familiar icons and actions no longer do the things you would expect. In terms of performance and options this new Visual Composer is as good as any of the other modern builder but for now we are still sticking to the WPBakery Page Builder. If user interactions and functionality from WPBakery Page Builder carried over to Visual Composer then we would 100% convert full time to it.

@wurkhouse Hi and thanks for your feedback - I believe post grid is something really appreciated for developers but as you mentioned regular users may find it a bit difficult. Instead, we encourage developers to use our API to create unique post grids and other elements. For the element presents, I can share exciting news that we have plans to develop it soon. Make sure to follow our updates and feel free to join our Slack to share your requests.
