I really encourage this extension, it was a relief to discover it, I have been using it for 2 years now, I have installed it on more than 30 sites. It allows me to create all my footers with the WpBakery plugin in one place. And for other reusable elements. It's really cool, thanks a lot !

Super útil para ahorrar tiempo o para añadir cosas que luego quieras poder editar en áreas específicas de una plantilla dentro del código PHP

Si vous avez besoin d'afficher un bandeau dans un footer ou un élément sur toutes vos pages, ce plugin est top ! 1/Créez une page, 2/ Un tag est généré, 3/ Coller le tag où vous voulez, sur autant de pages que vous souhaitez 4/ Retrouvez votre page sous forme de bannière ou footer... 5/ Modifier la page et votre bannière sera modifiée partout où votre shortcode est affiché. Le plus de ce plugin, c'est que l'on peut utiliser Visual Composer. Avant j'utilisais Templatera qui est payant, lourd et pas très performant... en fait, je ne l'utilise plus. Merci pour ce plugin qui méritent bien ses 5 étoiles ! ********** If you need to display a banner in a footer or an element on all your pages, this plugin is great! 1 / Create a page, 2 / A tag is generated, 3 / Paste the tag where you want, on as many pages as you want 4 / Find your page in the form of a banner or footer ... 5 / Modify the page and your banner will be modified wherever your shortcode is displayed. The plus of this plugin is that you can use Visual Composer. Before I used Templatera which is paid, heavy and not very efficient ... in fact, I no longer use it. Thank you for this plugin which deserves its 5 stars!
