Updating
Each time we release the plugin update, you should get a notification email from CodeCanyon. Also, you can check changelog on WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard page on CodeCanyon to make sure that you have the latest plugin version installed.
Recommended update procedure is manual upload via WordPress Admin. Before you start, download latest plugin zip archive from CodeCanyon, then follow these steps:
- Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
- Click the Upload Plugin button at the top of the screen.
- Select the downloaded zip file from your local filesystem.
- Click the Install Now button.
- If you already have an older version installed, WordPress will give you a comparison of the existing and uploaded versions.
- Click “Replace current with uploaded” to finish up.
You can also use FTP for updating as described in the previous chapter but before the upload it is best to delete the existing plugin version (do not forget to create a backup, just in case that you want to roll back to earlier version).
The third option is to use Envato Market WordPress Plugin.
Using WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard
To use WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard, it is required that you already have the WPBakery Page Builder plugin installed and activated and that you are familiar with its basic functionality.
If you need any additional information regarding WPBakery Page Builder plugin, you may find it here: https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431.
After WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard is installed and activated, on the back end you should see Copy, Copy+, Cut, Cut+ and Paste buttons when you place a mouse pointer over the top of the WPBakery Page Builder section or row.
Click Copy to copy the section/row to clipboard (or click Cut to cut). The entire section/row with its settings and content is copied to clipboard. Now you can navigate to any other section/row on the same page or other page.
Click Paste on any section/row on the same page or on any other page to paste the section/row from the clipboard below the section/row. You can paste the same section/row as many times as you want.
If you want to copy and paste a stack of sections/rows, just click Copy+ to add a section/row to the clipboard stack (click Cut+ to cut). Now when you click Paste all sections/rows will be pasted in the same order as they were added to clipboard. Please note that when you want to create a stack of sections/rows, you have to start with Copy/Cut and continue with Copy+/Cut+.
Copy/Cut will clear the current stack before adding a section/row to clipboard.
If you want to copy/cut content of the column, Copy and Cut commands above the column will show up when the mouse pointer is placed above the column. If you click Copy, content of that column will be placed on the clipboard (click Cut to cut content elements). Go to some other column and click Paste to paste column content from the clipboard.
To get clipboard commands for individual elements in columns, place a mouse pointer over the element toolbar.
It is similar on the front end:
If you want to paste on an empty page click the Paste button on the main WPBakery Page Builder toolbar (next to undo/redo buttons). You can also use it on page with content. Please note that only sections and rows (vc_section and vc_row shortcodes) can be pasted as root elements. On the left side you can see number of items currently in clipboard (which you can click to manually clear the clipboard) and “Copy all sections/row” button which you can use to copy whole page content with single click.
Note: pasting on front end can be slower than on back end, depending on the number of elements (and subelements) in clipboard.
When you want to export clipboard content, use the EXPORT button. Encoded clipboard will be saved and automatically selected in the import/export field. Just use standard Ctrl + C or Command + C to copy to your computer’s clipboard. From there you can save it, share it or just paste it in the import/export field on some other site/domain and click IMPORT. When you click IMPORT with valid clipboard content entered in the import/export field, clipboard content will be imported to WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard overwriting any existing clipboard content.
If you want to permanently store clipboard content you can use Google Cloud template manager. To use Google Cloud template manager you must first activate a product. Click LICENSE and enter required data.
License key (or Item Purchase Code) is contained within the License Certificate which is accessible in your Envato account. To view your License Certificate login to your Envato account and visit Downloads section, then click the Download button to reveal the License Certificate link. Download and open License and look for Item Purchase Code.
A license key may only be used for one plugin installation on one WordPress site at a time. If you have activated your license key on another site, then you should obtain new license key.
After the license is activated you may click GC SAVE to save current clipboard content (template) to Google Cloud. Just enter template name and click SUBMIT.
To load the saved template directly to the clipboard click GC LOAD. You will see a list of saved templates. Click one of the items to load. Click the X icon to delete the item.
To remove toolbar buttons which you do not use click PREFS. You can also set short commands for rows and columns (C for Copy, etc.) and if the toolbar will be initially opened or closed.
Click the arrow next to PREFS to open or close the toolbar.
