Predefined CSS classes used in our live demo and available in the theme when AJAX LOAD is enabled


Several classes have been defined in order to properly align and display WPBakery Page builder rows. You can specify them as Extra class name in row's options. They are as follow:

  • row_padding_top – top padding space to the row.
  • row_padding_bottom – bottom padding space to the row.
  • small – small row width.
  • full – makes the row full width.
  • text-align-center – center aligns the text within the row.
  • has-animation – adds an animation effect
  • one_half – First 1/2 Column
  • one_half last – Last 1/2 Column
  • one_third – 1/3 Columns
  • two_third last – 2/3 Column

Note to the WPBakery users: WPBakery row's properties and some of the elements are not compatible with AJAX loading. It is recommended to use our shortcodes, predefined classes or create your own CSS classes in appearance -> customizer -> additional CSS and add them to Extra class name attribute of the current row. This works great with AJAX loading. More workarounds for WPBakery and loading pages with AJAX: Here
