FAQ

Why would I use this plugin?

The WPBakery Page Builder includes many core elements and depending on what theme or addon plugins you are using it could include even more. If there are elements you either don’t like or don’t need for your website this plugin can be used to unregister them and remove unnecessary bloat.

What happens when I disable an element?

Disabled elements pass through the WPBakery vc_remove_element which removes them from the page builder “mapper” and are also unregistered from the site via the core remove_shortcode function.

Why do I see disabled elements code on the site?

This plugin does not scan your site and remove any previously added content. When you disable an element it becomes unregistered and won’t render on the live site so instead you will see the shortcode in text form.

If you wish to actually remove all previously added elements from a site this would require manual site editing or a different plugin.
