 * I just installed a theme I bought for wordpress and I installed dummy data. The
   istructions said I should install the visual composer plugin so I am assuming
   that is was built that way. But when I open pages that it came with, it doesn’t
   parse nicely. i have 1 page, that when I open it in visual composer the entire
   page shows up in 1 box that says raw html data.
 * But when i try to view it in classic mode, all I saw is gibberish letters and
   numbers
 * There is another page, that looks like the rows are split properly. But all the
   boxes say ‘text box’ instead it should be a bannervideo editing box. when I view
   it in classic mode , it looks more like visual composer code
 *     ```
       [vc_row][vc_column][bannervideo title="Atena Excellence in teaching"  desc="College / University / Campus"
       text1="Take a tour" link1="#" text2="View courses" link2="#"
       play="Play video" image="184" link="https://vimeo.com/20370747" linkmp4="/intro.mp4" linkogv="huploads/2016/01/intro.ogv"]
       [/vc_column][/vc_row]
       ```
   
 * Did I do something wrong when importing dummy data, or is it a problem with my
   visual composer?
 * or am I supposed to be using a different rendering plugin
