We are trying override the template for the element vc_custom_heading, if we copy the template file to child-theme/vc_templates, it doesn't override the element output.
The link below explains how to override the Salient elementstemplates, but it only overrides templates that are in the salient-core plugin (/plugins/salient-core/includes/vc_templates).
How can we override the WPBakery elements templates which are located in the js_composer_salient plugin (/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/templates/shortcodes), which is where the vc_custom_heading is located?
Hi,

How can we override the WPBakery elements templates which are located in the js_composer_salient plugin (/plugins/js_composer_salient/include/templates/shortcodes), which is where the vc_custom_heading is located?
We also tried using the vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir() from the original WPBakery Docs, https://kb.wpbakery.com/docs/inner-api/vc_set_shortcodes_templates_dir/, but that is also not picking up the template from the child theme.
Hey MILK_is_Good ,
Escalating this to the developer for further response.
Thanks.

Hey MILK_is_Good,
You can use the following snippet from your child functions.php to handle that override:
add_filter('vc_shortcode_set_template_vc_custom_heading', 'salient_child_custom_vc_heading_path'); function salient_child_custom_vc_heading_path() { return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/vc_templates/vc_custom_heading.php'; }Kind regards
Works perfectly, thank you.
