Page Composer \u2014 Basic is a free page builder for WordPress posts and pages.\nBuild layouts from reusable components, edit your content, and save page\ntemplates to use again.<\/p>\n\n
Use the visual composer to arrange rows and columns, add text, images and\nbuttons, and adjust each component's settings. When enabled, it replaces the\ndefault editor on Posts and Pages.<\/p>\n\n
The editor runs inside your WordPress installation. No Page Composer account\nor activation key is needed.<\/p>\n\n
wp_posts.post_content<\/code>, while the published\npage renders from the composition stored as JSON in post meta.<\/li>\n- Restore both content and layout through native WordPress revisions (6.4+).<\/li>\n
- Choose which user roles can use the editor in Page Composer settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
The plugin detects conflicting page builders, including Elementor, WPBakery,\nDivi and Beaver Builder. If one is active, it disables the editor and shows a\nnotice explaining which plugin needs to be deactivated.<\/p>\n\n
Tools for developers<\/h4>\n\n\n- Override component markup by adding
{Component}.php<\/code> to your theme's\n pce_templates\/ folder. The bundled PCEditor library handles rendering.<\/li>\n- Add custom markup and scripts with the Raw HTML and Raw JS components,\nsubject to WordPress user permissions.<\/li>\n
- Compile per-component CSS from the
css_props<\/code> field into media queries.\nConfigure CSS output and media-query sizes in settings.<\/li>\n- Adjust the Row\/Col grid through the
--pce-grid-*<\/code> custom properties, or\ndisable its stylesheet with the pce_load_grid_styles<\/code> filter.<\/li>\n- Rebuild saved HTML snapshots with Page Composer \u2192 Reindex after changing\ncomponent templates, without opening and saving every post.<\/li>\n
- Extend components, fields, editor access, assets and storage with filters:\n pce_components,
pce_css_field<\/code>, pce_editor_enabled<\/code>, pce_load_assets<\/code>,\n pce_load_grid_styles, pce_content_meta_key<\/code>, pce_pre_save_content<\/code> and\n pce_load_content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nTry the editor<\/a> or read the\ndocumentation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\nWooCommerce support<\/h4>\n\n
Page Composer ships ready-made components for WooCommerce stores: products\n(recent, featured, on sale, best selling, top rated), products by category or\nattribute, a single product, related products, add to cart (and its URL), cart,\ncheckout, my account and order tracking. They render through WooCommerce's own\nshortcodes, so they appear in the editor only while WooCommerce is installed and\nactive, and they follow your WooCommerce templates and styling. WooCommerce\nitself is not bundled or required \u2014 without it, Page Composer simply omits these\ncomponents.<\/p>\n\n
Page Composer is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by\nor sponsored by Automattic or WooCommerce. \"WooCommerce\" and \"WordPress\" are\ntrademarks of their respective owners and are used here only to describe\ncompatibility.<\/p>\n\n
External services<\/h3>\n\n
The plugin performs no license or activation calls \u2014 no account and no API key\nare needed, and nothing is sent automatically in the background.<\/p>\n\n
Feedback to page-composer.com (user-initiated only).<\/strong> Two optional forms\nsend data to https:\/\/page-composer.com\/plugin-feedback<\/code>, and only when an\nadministrator explicitly submits them:<\/p>\n\n\n- Leave a testimonial<\/em> (linked from a dismissible admin notice): sends the\nstar rating and testimonial text the admin typed.<\/li>\n
- Deactivation survey<\/em> (shown when deactivating the plugin; fully skippable\nvia \"Skip & deactivate\", which sends nothing): sends the selected reason and\nthe optional description.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Both submissions also include the site's domain name, the plugin version and\nthe WordPress version, so we can reproduce reported problems. No page content,\nno personal data and no visitor data is ever sent, and nothing is sent without\nan explicit form submission. This service is operated by Page-composer.com \u2014\nsee our terms (https:\/\/page-composer.com\/terms) and privacy policy\n(https:\/\/page-composer.com\/privacy).<\/p>\n\n
Google Maps (frontend embed, only if you use the Google map component).<\/strong>\nWhen a page contains the Google map component, that page embeds a map in an\niframe from google.com \u2014 through the Google Maps Embed API when a key is\nconfigured under Page Composer \u2192 Settings \u2192 Components<\/em>, or Google's keyless\nclassic embed when it is not. The embed is requested by the visitor's browser\nwhen such a page loads, and carries the map address\/coordinates you entered in\nthe component plus the standard request headers the browser sends to any site\n(IP address, user agent, referrer). The plugin itself sends no data to Google\nfrom the server, and pages without this component make no Google requests at\nall. This service is provided by Google: terms of service\n(https:\/\/policies.google.com\/terms), privacy policy\n(https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy), Google Maps Platform terms\n(https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/maps-platform\/terms).<\/p>\n\nSource code<\/h3>\n\n
The editor bundle shipped in assets\/editor\/js\/pceditor_wp_basic.js<\/code> is a\nstandard webpack production build of the Page Composer editor. Bundled\nthird-party libraries (React, ReactDOM and small MIT\/ISC utilities) are listed\nwith their licenses in assets\/editor\/js\/pceditor_wp_basic.js.LICENSE.txt<\/code>;\nthe plugin's own PHP is unminified throughout. Questions about the build are\nwelcome at sergey@page-composer.com.<\/p>\n\nStorage hooks<\/h3>\n\n
By default the composed JSON lives in the _pce_content<\/code> post meta, and a\ncompiled HTML snapshot of it is written to wp_posts.post_content<\/code> on every\nsave (that snapshot is what search\/feeds\/REST consumers read; the live page\nrenders from the JSON). Three filters customise the storage:<\/p>\n\npce_content_meta_key \u2014 `filter( string $meta_key )`\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nRename the post meta key that holds the JSON (default _pce_content<\/code>).\nApplied consistently to every read\/write, including revisioning and the\nReindex tool. Register it before init<\/code> priority 10 (top-level in your plugin\nor in the theme's functions.php \/ after_setup_theme<\/code>) and in every context\n(admin, frontend, cron) \u2014 the one-time storage migration and the revisioned\nmeta registration resolve the key there. Adopting the filter on a site with\nexisting content requires copying the _pce_content<\/code> meta to the new key\nyourself.<\/p>\n\npce_pre_save_content \u2014 `filter( bool $handled, string $json, array $postarr )`\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nRuns on save (inside wp_insert_post_data<\/code>). Store $json<\/code> yourself (a custom\ntable, an external service) and return true<\/code>; the plugin then writes neither\nthe meta nor the snapshot. $json<\/code> arrives unslashed and JSON-validated (or\nempty when the composition was cleared).<\/p>\n\npce_load_content \u2014 `filter( string $json, WP_Post $post )`\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nRuns wherever the plugin reads a post's composition (editor metabox, frontend\nrenderer, Yoast analysis). Receives the meta value as the default; return your\nstored JSON instead.<\/p>\n\n
Example \u2014 rename the meta key:<\/p>\n\n
add_filter( 'pce_content_meta_key', fn () => '_my_composition' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nExample \u2014 store the JSON in a custom table:<\/p>\n\n
add_filter( 'pce_pre_save_content', function ( $handled, $json, $postarr ) {\n my_table_store( (int) $postarr['ID'], $json );\n return true;\n}, 10, 3 );\n\nadd_filter( 'pce_load_content', function ( $json, $post ) {\n $stored = my_table_fetch( $post->ID );\n return $stored !== null ? $stored : $json;\n}, 10, 2 );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\nThe saved page templates (Load\/Save window) follow the same storage: JSON in\nthe templates CPT's meta, snapshot in its post_content. Saved component\nsettings (each component's Load\/Save-settings window) are posts of the\n pce_comp_templates post type \u2014 the component name in _pce_component_tag<\/code>,\nthe settings JSON in _pce_component_json<\/code> \u2014 the same storage the Pro plugin\nuses, so an upgrade keeps every saved version. (Pre-existing entries in the\nold pce_components_store<\/code> option are migrated automatically once; the option\nis kept as a downgrade backup until uninstall.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n- Upload the plugin to
\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> (or install it from the Plugin\nDirectory) and activate it.<\/li>\n- Open Page Composer \u2192 Settings<\/em> and enable the editor \u2014 it replaces the\nblock editor on Posts and Pages.<\/li>\n
- Edit any Post or Page: compose it from components, then Update as usual.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
1.6.91<\/h4>\n\n\n- Preserved edited field values when search or conditional settings change\nwhich fields are visible.<\/li>\n
- Saved complete component settings when creating a template while a settings\nsearch filter is active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.90<\/h4>\n\n\n- Enabled dragging from component content by default, with automatic exclusions\nfor interactive controls and header-only dragging for rows.<\/li>\n
- Added
dragFromContent: false<\/code> and the data-pce-no-drag<\/code> template attribute\nso custom components can disable content dragging where needed.<\/li>\n- Added grab and grabbing cursors to show where components can be dragged.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.89<\/h4>\n\n\n- Preserved saved and custom fractional column widths while safely parsing\ncolumn ratios in the bundled editor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.88<\/h4>\n\n\n- Updated the bundled editor to React 19.3.1 and compatible integration packages.<\/li>\n
- Preserved WordPress React globals; custom editor integrations can use the\nbundled runtime through
pce.React<\/code> and pce.ReactDOM<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.6.87<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed modal Save, Load and confirmation buttons to use white labels and icons\nby default, with matching theme-aware colors on hover and keyboard focus.<\/li>\n
- Prevented host website link styles from overriding modal action colors while\npreserving delete and disabled button states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.86<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed duplicate fields and incorrect visibility when switching
if.show<\/code>\nconditions, including fields inside groups.<\/li>\n- Added the
fields_inline<\/code> card template for editing fields marked\n show_in_template: true directly on a component, with group editing support.<\/li>\n- Preserved field instances when reordering components within the same container\nand improved group drag coordinates and cancellation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.85<\/h4>\n\n\n- Fixed: TinyMCE dialogs of the wysiwyg field (Source Code, insert link) opened\nbehind the settings window when the editor ran in full-window mode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.84<\/h4>\n\n\n- New card templates for custom components:
fields_chips<\/code> and fields_grid<\/code>\nshow every field marked show_in_template: true<\/code> on the editor card as a\nlabel + value pair \u2014 switches as localized Yes\/No, colors as a swatch,\nselects as their option label, files as the file name, long text truncated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.6.83<\/h4>\n\n\n- Components window: a long category list no longer overlaps the bar with the\naction buttons.<\/li>\n
- Fixed a potential editor freeze in background tabs when a save\/load request\nfailed \u2014 request errors now log to the browser console instead of showing a\nblocking alert.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
1.6.82<\/h4>\n\n\n- Columns can now be reordered by dragging the new handle in a column's\ntoolbar \u2014 the neighbouring columns slide aside to show where it will land.<\/li>\n
- Security hardening: composition JSON is now filtered by author capability on\nevery save, mirroring how WordPress core treats post_content. Authors without\nthe
unfiltered_html<\/code> capability have field values passed through\n wp_kses_post() and script payloads (Raw JS) removed; authors with the\ncapability are unaffected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n1.6.80<\/h4>\n\n\n- First public release on WordPress.org.<\/li>\n
- Visual component editor for Posts and Pages with saved page templates and\nper-component saved settings.<\/li>\n
- WooCommerce (18), WordPress-widget (13), Contact Form 7 and content\ncomponents; Yoast SEO analysis integration.<\/li>\n
- Full Width page template, configurable Row layouts, grid stylesheet filters.<\/li>\n
- Wysiwyg paste clean-up (data-* attributes and copy artifacts are stripped).<\/li>\n
- Interface translated into 12 languages.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Page Composer is a free visual page builder for WordPress.
