vc_add_default_templates()

SINCE 4.3

To add more predefined templates to the WPBakery Page Builder interface call vc_add_default_templates() function in your function.php file. Predefined templates are available since WPBakery Page Builder 4.3 version. Note: vc_add_default_templates() should be hooked in vc_load_default_templates_action action.

<?php vc_add_default_templates( $data ); ?>

Examples

Starting from WPBakery Page Builder version 4.3 you can select from predefined started templates  and you can modify that list to add more custom templates. For example within your theme or third party addon for WPBakery Page Builder  .

Add new custom template

Hook in vc_load_default_templates_action to add your custom template to the list.

<?php
add_action( 'vc_load_default_templates_action','my_custom_template_for_vc' ); // Hook in
 
function my_custom_template_for_vc() {
  $data = array(); // Create new array
  $data['name'] = __( 'Custom template', 'my-text-domain' ); // Assign name for your custom template
  $data['weight'] = 0; // Weight of your template in the template list
  $data['image_path'] = preg_replace( '/\s/', '%20', plugins_url( 'images/custom_template_thumbnail.jpg', __FILE__ ) ); // Always use preg replace to be sure that "space" will not break logic. Thumbnail should have this dimensions: 114x154px
  $data['custom_class'] = 'custom_template_for_vc_custom_template'; // CSS class name
  $data['content']  = <<<CONTENT

  vc_add_default_templates( $data );
}
?>

Modify default templates

To modify default templates list you can use vc_load_default_templates hook and filter/modify array which stores default templates in it.

<?php
add_filter( 'vc_load_default_templates', 'my_custom_template_modify_array' ); // Hook in
function my_custom_template_modify_array( $data ) {
  return array(); // This will remove all default templates. Basically you should use native PHP functions to modify existing array and then return it.
}
?>

Here’s a quick example how you can place your new custom template to the first position in the array.

<?php
add_filter( 'vc_load_default_templates', 'my_custom_template_at_first_position' ); // Hook in
 
function my_custom_template_at_first_position( $data ) {
  $template = array();
  $template['name'] = __( 'Custom template', 'my-text-domain' ); // Assign name for your custom template
  $template['image_path'] = preg_replace( '/\s/', '%20', plugins_url( 'images/custom_template_thumbnail.jpg', __FILE__ ) ); // Always use preg replace to be sure that "space" will not break logic. Thumbnail should have this dimensions: 114x154px.
  $template['custom_class'] = 'custom_template_for_vc_custom_template'; // CSS class name
  $template['content']  = <<<CONTENT
