I'm in the middle of changing a Wordpress theme running on an old version of the WPBakery Visual Composer to the Salient Theme.
After changing to the new theme and the new Salient WPBakery version, I'm getting a lot of broken shortcodes from the old WPBakery Visual Composer including [vc_single_image]
Here is a response from the Developer on a Similar Thread.
The Salient version of WPBakery has a different element set from the core WPbakery, so some elements that were added from the non-Salient version won't render when swapping.
Without simply switching back to the regular version of WPBakery, it's possible to register those core elements of WPBakery in the Salient version by using a filter from a child theme. Once you've activated the Salient child theme, add the following snippet into the functions.php:
The first PHP snippet (for single image, empty space and cta) really helped. However, the button snippet did not work for us. Also, one of the bigger issues we have with moving from our old theme to Salient is that the row/column background colors and images are no longer displayed. Is there by any chance a PHP snippet to fix those?

Example: [vc_single_image image=”35182″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”].
Is there a way for me to replace all those broken shortcodes with the images that were once added to that shortcode?

Hey Jonas
You can map those buttons to Salient button elements by adding the following PHP snippet to your child theme functions.php file:
add_shortcode('button','salient_convert_buttons'); function salient_convert_buttons($attrs, $content = "") { $url = isset($attrs['url']) ? $attrs['url'] : ''; $target = isset($attrs['target']) ? $attrs['target'] : ''; return do_shortcode('[nectar_btn size="medium" button_style="regular" button_color_2="Accent-Color" open_new_tab="'.($target === '_blank' ? 'true' : 'false').'" url="'.$url.'" text="'.$content.'"]'); }You will also need to deactivate the "Salient Shortcodes" plugin as to not interfere with the mapping to the WPBakery element.
Kind regards,

Also - is there a way to map the padding/margin settings as well?
