The Text Module

You will typically be editing an existing Text Module. Text can be added anywhere on your page. Text modules can be placed within any column type, and when combined with other modules, they make for a truly dynamic page. When you add a text module, you are given all of the editing capabilities of a normal WordPress page. The text module can be used to create a small bit of text within a complex layout, or it can be used in a full-width column to create an entire page.

How To Add/Edit A Text Module To Your Page

Once you have entered the Visual Builder, you can click the gray plus button to add a new module to your page. New modules can only be added inside of Rows. If you are starting a new page, don’t forget to add a row to your page first. We have some great tutorials about how to use row and section elements.

Locate the text module within the list of modules and click it to add it to your page. The module list is searchable, which means you can also type the word “text” and then click enter to automatically find and add the text module! Once the module has been added, you will be greeted with the module’s list of options. These options are separated into three main groups: Content, Design, and Advanced.

Content Options

Text Content for Editing or Adding Text

This field is where you can enter or edit the body content of your module. Text content spans the full width of the column that it is in.

If your text is being placed onto a dark background the Text Color should be set to ‘Dark’. Visa versa, if your text is being placed onto a light background, the Text Color should be set to ‘Light’.
