Diagonal Responsive View renders a diagonal, responsive split-layout block combining a content area and a media panel (image or looping video), with an optional call-to-action button.

It integrates natively with Elementor (dedicated widget) and WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer element), and can also be used anywhere via shortcode.

Key features:

  • Diagonal/masked split layout — content on one side, image or looping video on the other
  • Flip option to swap media and content order
  • On mobile the written content is shown on swipe (left or right)
  • Optional styled button with full color, radius, alignment, and CSS class controls
  • Adjustable mask tilt (20°, 30°, 40°)
  • Native Elementor widget (drag-and-drop, live preview)
  • Native WPBakery element (backend and frontend editor)
  • Plain shortcode support for any editor or theme

Optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

Usage — Shortcode

Shortcode name: diag_resp_view

Basic example:

[diag_resp_view]Your <strong>HTML</strong> content here[/diag_resp_view]

[diag_resp_view title="Example Title" flip_media="yes" is_video="no" show_button="yes" button_text="Learn more" button_link="url:https://example.com|target:_blank" button_bg_color="#ff0000" button_border_radius="8px" button_text_color="#ffffff" button_align="center" image_id="123" mask_tilt="30"]<p>Content here.</p>[/diag_resp_view]

Supported attributes (defaults in parentheses):

  • title (Diagonal Responsive View) — text field used as block title
  • flip_media (no) — yes to swap media and content order on desktop
  • is_video (no) — yes to use media_url as a looping background video
  • show_button (no) — yes to render a CTA button

  • image_id ('') — WordPress attachment ID for the image
  • mask_tilt (20) — tilt angle: 20, 30, or 40

The shortcode wrapper uses the class diag-responsive-view for custom CSS targeting.

Usage — Elementor

  1. Open a page in Elementor.
  2. Search for Diagonal Responsive View in the widget panel (category: General).
  3. Drag it into your layout and configure content, media, and button settings via the panel controls.

Alternatively, use the Elementor Shortcode widget and paste the diag_resp_view shortcode directly.

Usage — WPBakery (Visual Composer)

  1. Open a page in the WPBakery editor (backend or frontend).
  2. Click Add Element search for Diagonal Responsive View.
