Sounds like Visual Composer is creating stylesheets for custom formatting. I’ll try to create a custom integration in the coming months to tell inserted pages to fetch those custom stylesheets. Dealing with a death in the family right now, so there won’t be any progress in the short term.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept my condolences. When you have time is just fine.
thx
This is really useful and easy to use plugin. One issue that I am facing is something strange to me.
I am using it with the creator plugin so I have to switch to Classic Editor to insert page. Which is done quit comfortably. But when I switch back to the creator and make any small change using the creator everything is lost. When I switch back to editor again, I see my code(for insert page) is messed up..
In the end I am unable to see the contents of the included page..
Any immediate help will be much appreciated..
Hey @jingle0, coming back to this question regarding integration with Visual Composer. I’ve done a similar integration in the past with Beaver Builder, where their custom CSS gets enqueued for pages that are inserted via this plugin.

Since Visual Composer isn’t an open source plugin, I’m unable to look at the codebase to figure out how to integrate with it. If you’d like to start a support thread with WPBakery, I’d be happy to see if there’s something I can do to enqueue the custom CSS that Visual Composer generates whenever those pages get inserted.
Let me know!
I had actually created a custom visual composer module for this plugin, so when using visual composer, I can drag my module onto the page, type in a slug or ID and the type of content, and it’ll automatically write in the shortcode.
VC shortcode:
$insert_page = new FCMModule( "insert_page" , "Insert Page" , 'Embed any WordPress content on your page' , array(
new TextField('Page','p','General','Page Slug or ID', true),
new TextField('Type','type','General','title|link|excerpt|excerpt-only|content|all|{custom-template.php}'),
new TextField('Additional Classes','classes')
));
$mapper->map( $insert_page );
View file:
$content = "[insert page='".$p."' display='".(empty($type) ? 'content' : $type)."' class='inserted-page".(empty($classes) ? '' : ' '.$classes)."']";
echo '<!-- Insert Page Shortcode: '.$content.' -->';
echo do_shortcode($content);
Aside from that, I’d recommend giving your rows classes and then using your stylesheet to apply background colors since the “design” tab on some elements in VC generate a page-specific stylesheet that does not get inserted with this plugin.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll link to your post in a few other threads that discuss Visual Composer issues.
Again, if anyone can communicate with WPBakery about a way to enqueue the page-specific stylesheets for Visual Composer, I’ll gladly incorporate it. I’ve already done this for a similar plugin, Beaver Builder:
