Jetpack Publicize & Visual Composer

Thank you for your reply. I really had been searching pretty hard (I thought) but couldn’t find this known issue anywhere -so either it’s not all that known, or it’s extremely known, to such an extent that nobody’s talking about it. 🙂

Anhoyhow, I’ve constructed a work-around protocol for this issue, so I’ll manage. 🙂

Sure, though I must warn you it’s a bit clumsy. But it works.

First, I set up my entire post in VC/Backend Editor, only saving as draft.
When the preview is to my liking, I switch to Classic Mode, so that it shows the naked ugly code. I ctrl-X ctrl-V all the code to Word.
Then I stay in Classic Mode and erase most of the post and set up a simplified version of the post in the Classic Mode -I basically just keep the Featured Image and the text, without worrying about lay-out and stuff, as the rest won’t show in the Facebook post anyway.

Then I hit Publish.

Before anyone will actually read the post on WordPress, I clear the entire Classic Editor field again and copy-paste all the code I saved in Word earlier. Then I hit update and all is well.

Like I said, it’s a clumsy, Neanderthal sort of solution, but it gets the job done. And once you get it in your system, it isn’t as complicated as it may sound. 🙂

I hope this explanation is clear enough. If not, feel free to ask or comment.
