    Running version 3.8.5 but didn’t see it in the dropdown.

    I’m trying to add sample pages to the Total theme with this code from the link below but I don’t know where to add it in the text editor.

    https://github.com/wpexplorer/total-sample-pages/blob/master/portfolio-no-margins

    [vc_row border_style=”solid” background_style=”stretch”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vcex_portfolio_grid term_slug=”all” filter=”false” grid_style=”no_margins” columns=”3″ posts_per_page=”-1″ img_width=”500″ img_height=”350″ img_crop=”true” img_filter=”none” thumb_link=”post” order=”DESC” orderby=”date” pagination=”false” title=”false” excerpt=”false” excerpt_length=”30″ read_more=”false”][vcex_spacing size=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

    To use all you need to do is click the “raw” button then copy and paste the code into your text editor on a page in “Text” mode, then switch back over to the Visual Composer:

    Thank you James. Do I use the code when creating a new page or a new post?

    It looks like a new page.

    Did you see the linked screenshots?

    I did, I’m not seeing the backend editor and frontend editor buttons though. I just have a button that toggles between Visual Composer and Classic editor. I’m getting a message about Visual Composer being out of date but I’m not being given an option to update:

    Visual Composer Extension Warning: Your Visual Composer Plugin is out of date. Please Update.

    This is what I’m seeing for Visual Composer under Plugins:

    I feel like I’m a mess right now with my site. I was using the X WordPress theme and I don’t know much about WordPress to begin with. I purchased the Total theme a while back and started using it because the WP developers at my work use this template for the majority of their work and love it. I made the switch because I want a grid style layout for my blog posts and the ‘portfolio no margins’ page was supposed to give that to me.

    Sorry for rambling I’m just frustrated right now. I feel like I need to hire a WP developer to help me clean up my site and get me on the right track.

    Ok, at this point I really can’t help fix the problem.

    As that is a commercial theme, we generally ask that you please use their official support channel. In order to be good stewards of the WordPress community, and encourage innovation and progress, we feel it’s important to direct people to those official locations.

    Forum volunteers are also not given access to commercial products, so they would not know why your commercial theme is not working properly. This is one other reason why volunteers forward you to the commercial product’s vendors. The vendors are responsible for supporting their commercial product.

    I understand and that makes ‘total’ sense. 🙂 Thank you James.
