Visual Composer not parsing - wordpress

I just installed a theme I bought for wordpress and I installed dummy data.
The istructions said I should install the visual composer plugin so I am assuming that is was built that way.
But when I open pages that it came with, it doesn't parse nicely.
i have 1 page, that when I open it in visual composer the entire page shows up in 1 box that says raw html data.
But when i try to view it in classic mode, all I saw is gibberish letters and numbers
There is another page, that looks like the rows are split properly. But all the boxes say 'text box' instead it should be a bannervideo editing box.
when I view it in classic mode , it looks more like visual composer code
[vc_row][vc_column][bannervideo title="Atena Excellence in teaching" desc="College / University / Campus"
text1="Take a tour" link1="#" text2="View courses" link2="#"
play="Play video" image="184" link="https://vimeo.com/20370747" linkmp4="/intro.mp4" linkogv="huploads/2016/01/intro.ogv"]
[/vc_column][/vc_row]
Did I do something wrong when importing dummy data, or is it a problem with my visual composer?
or am I supposed to be using a different rendering plugin

Because your theme miss map for 'bannervideo' shortcode. You should contact to theme author to fix that or provide plugin define the map for that element.
Other option for page builder is King Composer. It is works well with any website https://wordpress.org/plugins/kingcomposer/

Building blogdown site twice leads to incorrect formatting

Rebuilding blogdown site is not rendering correctly for some themes.
Having created a new directory using the R Project Wizard in RStudio, I create a new site using a custom theme such as "AlexFinn/simple-a" or "zwbetz-gh/vanilla-bootstrap-hugo-theme" with blogdown::new_site(theme = "AlexFinn/simple-a"). Once created, I add the following to to config.TOML; ignoreFiles = ["\\.Rmd$", "\\.Rmarkdown$", "_files$", "_cache$"]
At this point, all is working as expected and I get a properly formatted example site.
When I press the 'Build Website' button in the Build panel in RStudio again OR I upload to Netlify, for these two themes, my website is rendered with all styling and images removed; black text - bolded and sized - and with a plain white background. With "gcushen/hugo-academic" the colours appear but the images are missing. Nothing appears different with the "road2stat/hugo-tanka".
I would understand this behaviour with the vanilla theme but "simple-a" and "hugo-academic" are mentioned in the blogdown book in chapter 1.6
I am using Hugo 0.53 and blogdown_0.10.1
Build Website is not for rendering the blogdown website, What it does is to render multiple Rmarkdown documents into a website.
You should use Addins -> Serve Site or call the command blogdown::serve_site() instead.
For more information on the difference between rmarkdown::render_site() and blogdown, you can read
help("render_site", package="rmarkdown") and
The rmarkdown official manual

Divi Builder not loading saved layout

I have a problem with Divi Builder. I am using Pagely to clone one site into a staging environment. The cloning part goes well and everything is in place.
When I try to access a page on the staging in order to edit it (Via Divi builder) the structure is not there. If I go back to the public are I can see the page structure in place and also I can confirm that the data is there because I checked using inspect that the poststuff text area contains the same data.
It seems that on the staging the structure under et_pb_main_container is not loaded properly
Instead if I check the live site the structure looks like this:
Finally the frontend displays:
Instead of what I am able to see on the live site:
Have you tried saving the layout to the library? I would give that a shot then load it and see if that jogs the content.
Please try to disable all plugins and then check or try to use the updated version of Divi Theme.

How do I add starter content to a project manually?

I think I'm experiencing a bug where if I delete a project, then create a project with the same name indicating I want it to have starter content, it doesn't appear.
I've been getting this bug as well recently (with v4.14.0)
If anyone else has this issue, you need to find the Content Browser. Click the Add New button then chose Add Feature or Content Pack from the menu. On the Content Packs tab and you should see some options there for either the normal starter content or the mobile version.
Note that once you've done this you should be able to find the starter map (with the chairs) in:
Content > StarterContent > Maps > Minimal_Default
I don't think it is possible to add starter content to an established project via the launcher. You can, however, just create a new project with the starter content and then move it to your old project. To do this you have to right-click on the starter content in your content browser and use the migrate option.

Add template Reference (sidewaffle project)

I'm using Visual Studio Premium 2012 and installed sidewaffle. Working through examples to create a template using the falling video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z33jOo75CH4&list=UUwEinBp3Mx1UuAR52pzRcNw
I cannot see 'Add template Reference (Sidewaffle project)' on the add menu when I right click the project. Do you know how I get this option to show? Thanks.
I couldn't get side waffle to work, I found it over complicated, I used templify instead. http://opensource.endjin.com/templify this works really well for creating a multiple project template.

CKEditor image properties tabs disappear

I'm having an issue with CKEditor regarding image properties. Spent many hours investigating this but ended up without solution.
I'm using Drupal 7 with the latest CKEditor AND IMCE.
When I click on the image icon on CKEditor tool bar, the image properties popup window came up but I was looking at the "advanced" tab is not showing up. No tab show up at all.
Is there any configuration that I have to apply in order to show up the tabs in the image properties?
you can try by reinstalling with ckeditor - 7.x-1.16 and imce - 7.x-1.9,
worked for me
I got this trouble when use cdn version of ckeditor instead of local.
To fix it download latest ckeditor from official site http://ckeditor.com/download. I have downloaded full version. Then copy files to /sites/all/modules/ckeditor/ckeditor. Before you copy here must be only 1 file with name COPY_HERE.txt. After copy folders adapters, lang... etc.
Then go to the global settings of the ckeditor admin/config/content/ckeditor/editg and set path to the local ckeditor library like this: %m/ckeditor. Save settings and check if advanced tabs exist now.
