When installing the Total theme you will see a notice in your WordPress dashboard to install “bundled” plugins. The only plugin you truly need to install is the Total Theme Core plugin. However, you can also install WPBakery, Templatera or Slider Revolution if you’d like.
If you’ve already installed the plugins you need for your site and don’t want to be bothered by the notice you can go to the Theme Panel and disable it completely.
Disabling this setting will remove the functionality completely from the site. If you only want to disable the bundled plugin notice for specific plugins you can do so as well. Please refer to the following documentation on how to disable bundled plugin alerts.
Whenever there is a theme update the recommended notice will re-enable itself in order to display notices about plugins that require updates
