Salient WPBakery Page Builder<\/h2>\n

(Formerly Visual Composer)<\/h4>\n

Salient comes with a highly tailored version of the most popular page builder on the market, WPBakery Page Builder. It includes many new and exciting elements and a stylish overhauled user interface. This is the only plugin Salient requires<\/strong> you to install.\u00a0Missing this step will result in\u00a0seeing mass chunks of shortcodes after importing a demo<\/a>. If you already have a different version of\u00a0the WPBakery Page Builder installed, you’ll need to deactivate it before installing the Salient version as only one version of WPBakery Page Builder can be active at a time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475707519047{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”]\n
