How to add/modify an option to an existing Visual Composer shortcode?¶

There are two possible scenarios

1. Add new param to a shortcode (eg. new select input)

   1. Open theme-plugin/extensions/visual-composer/hooks.php

   2. Add _filter_fw_visual_composer_extend_shortcodes filter hook callback to modify the existing vc shortcode

   3. Example code to add decoration and clound-bgcolor options to vc_section vc shortcode

      add_filter( '_filter_fw_visual_composer_extend_shortcodes', 'fw_ext_visual_composer_extend_shortcodes' );
      function fw_ext_visual_composer_extend_shortcodes( $shortcodes ) {
      
          $shortcodes['vc_section'] = array(
              'decoration' => array(
                  'type' => 'select',
                  'choices' => array(
                      '' => esc_html__( 'None', 'ct_theme' ),
                      'top-cloud' => esc_html__( 'Top Cloud', 'ct_theme' ),
                      'bottom-cloud' => esc_html__( 'Bottom Cloud', 'ct_theme' ),
                      'top-bottom-cloud' => esc_html__( 'Top and Bottom Cloud', 'ct_theme' ),
                  ),
                  'label' => esc_html__( 'Select cloud decoration', 'ct_theme' ),
              ),
              'cloud-bgcolor' => array(
                  'type'     => 'color-picker',
                  'value'    => '#fff',
                  'label'    => esc_html__( 'Cloud Background Color', 'ct_theme' ),
              ),
      
          );
      
          return $shortcodes;
      }
      

2. Add new options to an existing shortcode param (eg. new style option)

   1. Open theme-plugin/extensions/visual-composer/hooks.php

   2. Add vc_after_init action hook callback to modify the existing vc shortcode param

   3. Example code to add new style param options of vc_single_image vc shortcode

      add_action( 'vc_after_init', 'fw_ext_visual_composer_update_shortcodes' );
      function fw_ext_visual_composer_update_shortcodes() {
      
          // get 'style' param of 'vc_single_image' shortcode
          $param = WPBMap::getParam( 'vc_single_image', 'style' );
      
          // add options
          $param['value'][__( 'Framed', 'ct_theme' )] = 'ct-framed-image';
          $param['value'][__( 'Framed light', 'ct_theme' )] = 'ct-framed-image ct-framed-image--Light';
          $param['value'][__( 'Framed dark', 'ct_theme' )] = 'ct-framed-image ct-framed-image--Dark';
      
          // update the shortcode param
          vc_update_shortcode_param( 'vc_single_image', $param );
      
      }
      

That’s all. If you furthermore need to change the markup of a VC shortcode, read below.

How to change the markup of a VC shortcode?¶

Just create vc_templates folder in your theme root folder and copy and modify vc shortcode templates there, ie. wp-content/themes/project_name/theme/vc_templates/vc_single_image.php. Read more.
