Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin work without WPBakery?
No. Card Elements for WPBakery is an add-on for WPBakery Page Builder and requires it to function. If WPBakery is not installed or activated, the plugin will display an admin notice with instructions.
Which version of WPBakery is required?
WPBakery Page Builder version 5.0 or higher. If your version is older, the plugin will display an update notice in the WordPress admin.
Can I add multiple card widgets to the same page?
Yes — add as many cards as you like on a single page. Each instance is fully independent with its own style settings, so you can mix and match card types and styles on the same page.
Can I use a different card style for each card on the same page?
Absolutely. Each card widget has a Card Style dropdown so you can choose a completely different design per instance. Mix a profile card style 1 with profile card style 3 on the same page if you like.

Yes — every visual aspect (colours, Google Fonts, font size, spacing, border radius, hover effects) is controllable through the WPBakery element settings panel. No CSS or code editing is required.
Will the plugin slow down my site?
Card Elements follows WordPress best practices for asset loading. Stylesheets are registered at a lightweight weight and the plugin does not load any third-party JavaScript frameworks. Google Fonts are only loaded for the font families you actually select.
