WPBakery Page Builder Plugin for WordPress

WPBakery Page Builder is a paid drag-and-drop page builder plugin for WordPress. This tool helps you easily design your website. This premium plugin was developed by a team called WPBakery and has been used on over 5.8 million websites worldwide.

The main goal of WPBakery Page Builder is to make it easy for anyone—whether business owners, marketers, or novice website builders—to design complex website layouts without the need for any programming code.

WPBakery is the best project choice for web agencies building client sites or marketing teams who need interactive landing pages, dynamic portfolios, and the flexibility of content editing that can be easily managed by laypeople post-build.

Here’s an in-depth description of how WPBakery works, its architecture, and the technical features it offers:

Dual Editor Modes

One of the unique features that makes WPBakery so flexible compared to its competitors is the presence of two editing modes that can be switched instantly:

• Back-End Editor: This mode is a block editor within the WordPress admin dashboard. It’s ideal for quickly building complex page structures because it’s lightweight, organized, and focuses on layout without visual design distractions.
• Front-End Editor (Live Builder): This mode allows you to edit directly from the website’s external interface (What You See Is What You Get). Every time you drag an element or change text, the changes are reflected in real-time, just like the original.

Row & Column-Based Layout Architecture (Grid System)

WPBakery works using a grid system that divides the page into rows and columns.

• Rows act as the main horizontal container.
• Each row can be split into multiple columns (for example, divided into 2 columns, 3 columns, or custom sizes like a 1/4 + 3/4 ratio).
• Content or visual elements can then simply be dragged and dropped into these columns.

Over 50 Ready-to-Use Content Elements

WPBakery Content Elements provides dozens of built-in elements (widgets) that you can use right away without having to create them from scratch. Some of the most frequently used elements include:

• Text & Typography: Text blocks, custom headings, and message boxes.
• Media: Single images, image galleries, video players, and content sliders.
• Structure & Navigation: Accordions, tab panels, Call to Action (CTA) buttons, icons, and empty space.
• Dynamic Elements: Pie charts, progress bars, Google Maps, and Post Grid to automatically display your latest blog posts.

Work Management and Efficiency Features

• Template Library: You don’t always have to design from scratch. WPBakery provides a library of professional-grade, ready-to-use templates that you can download and customize in seconds.
• Role Manager: A powerful feature for agencies or website owners with a large staff. You can restrict access rights (for example, an “Editor” account can only edit text but not move or delete row layouts).
• WPBakery AI: The developers include an integrated artificial intelligence-based assistant to help users create content text, translate languages, and even generate custom code instantly.

Note: WPBakery AI is only available with a genuine license obtained from the official developer; it is not available with the GPL license.

WPBakery Integration with WooCommerce

WPBakery Page Builder fully supports WooCommerce. You can use it to design a WooCommerce-based online store with great flexibility.

WPBakery’s WooCommerce support is divided into the following usage methods:

1. Custom Product Page Design

By default, WooCommerce product pages are configured by your WordPress theme. However, you can activate WPBakery to edit the product page layout.

• To activate it: Go to your WordPress dashboard -> WPBakery Page Builder -> Role Manager -> Change the post type to Custom -> Check the product option. Once saved, the WPBakery edit button will appear on the product editing page.

2. Built-in Store Elements and Shortcodes

WPBakery has custom visual elements that you can insert directly into any page to display data from your online store. Examples of these elements include:

• Displaying a list of your latest products, best sellers, or promotional products.
• Custom Add to Cart buttons.
• Displaying specific product categories in a grid or carousel format.

3. Custom Page Builders (WooCommerce Add-ons)

If you want to redesign the entire UI/UX of your store’s default pages (such as the Cart, Checkout, or My Account pages) to create a unique look, WPBakery offers powerful official and third-party add-ons, such as:

• WooCommerce Page Builder for WPBakery: An official add-on for designing the entire structure of your shopping page.
• WC Builder: A free helper plugin that adds dozens of e-commerce elements to your WPBakery store.

Pricing & Purchase Plans

• Standalone License: You can purchase it directly from the official WPBakery website or CodeCanyon for around $99 for a single website. This license includes free lifetime updates and 6 months of free support.
• Theme Bundle: Many paid WordPress themes (such as those on ThemeForest) include WPBakery for free in their theme packages. However, you can only update this plugin when the theme releases an update.
