Smart Sections is a WordPress plugin and WPBakery addon that extends the power of Visual Composer beyond individual pages. It gives you full visual control over every layout element on your site — headers, footers, sidebars, mega menus, sticky elements, and archive layouts — all through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. No coding required.
Whether you want to replace your theme’s default header with a custom design, create unique footers for different pages, or build dynamic post listing cards for archive pages, Smart Sections provides the tools to make it happen.
Note: WPBakery Page Builder is not included. You must have a valid copy of WPBakery Page Builder or a theme that bundles it.
Smart Sections eliminates the need for custom coding when it comes to website layout design. Instead of relying on your theme’s rigid structure, you gain the freedom to visually build and position every section of your site exactly how you want it. This means faster design iterations, more creative freedom, and a website that truly reflects your brand identity.
By assigning different sections to different pages, you can deliver a tailored experience to visitors across your blog, archive pages, search results, and homepage. Sticky sections keep important content — like contact forms or social sharing tools — always within reach, improving user engagement.
Smart Sections is ideal for WordPress site owners and designers who use WPBakery Page Builder and want deeper control over their site’s layout. Common use cases include:
Smart Sections requires WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) to function. It is designed to work as an addon for WPBakery, extending its capabilities for theme-level layout design. Make sure you have a valid, unmodified copy of WPBakery Page Builder installed or that your theme includes it before purchasing.
Smart Sections bridges the gap between page-level design and full-site layout control. While WPBakery Page Builder excels at building individual pages, Smart Sections extends that visual power to headers, footers, sidebars, menus, and archive layouts — areas that are typically locked into your theme’s structure. With 100+ pre-designed demos, advanced styling options, responsive controls, and flexible section triggers, you get everything you need to build a professional, custom-designed WordPress site without touching code.
Does Smart Sections include WPBakery Page Builder?
No. WPBakery Page Builder is not packaged within this plugin. You must have a valid copy installed on your site, or a theme that includes it, before using Smart Sections.
Can I create different headers for different pages?
Yes. You can assign completely different headers, footers, or sticky sections to individual blog posts, archive pages, the homepage, search results pages, or any other page on your site.
Is Smart Sections responsive?
Yes. Sections can be created fully responsive for any screen size. You can define specific pixel breakpoints to display different section designs on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
How many pre-designed demos are available?
Smart Sections comes with over 100 pre-designed demo sections that you can import with a few clicks and customize to suit your needs.
Can I create sticky elements with Smart Sections?
Yes. You can make any section sticky — including headers, sidebars, social sharing boxes, contact forms, and more. You can also control when sticky sections appear using trigger options like scroll position, element visibility, or toggle button clicks.
Smart Sections is a versatile WPBakery addon that transforms how you design and customize your WordPress website. From custom headers and footers to responsive mega menus, sticky elements, and dynamic post listing cards, it gives you the visual control to build a truly unique site.
