Styling options (bgcolor, border, margin, etc) made in WPBakery don't work

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I have created a Content Template in WPBakery to display archive loops, but the row and column styles I applied in the WPBakery builder are not applied to the rows and columns on the front-end of the site.

Solution: At this time, row and column styles applied in WPBakery builder are not applied to Content Template loops. The best suggestion is to give rows and columns CSS classnames in the builder, then apply your styles to these CSS classes using basic CSS.

I have created a loop view for my product archive using WPBakery.
When I add any styling options to rows or coloums, they don't have any effect. The same problem is described here:

Hi, our developers have investigated this issue recently. Their best advice is to add row and column styles manually using CSS instead of relying on the row and cell options in the WPBakery Page Builder. Determining which Views have which rows and cells programmatically would be a massive undertaking, and development to get that working would take quite a long time. The more practical approach is to give each row and column a CSS class name in the builder, then apply styles using basic CSS in the WordPress Archive's Loop Output CSS editor panel. If you'd like to request an improvement to the software that will respect row and column styles from WPBakery Page Builder, feel free to open a new ticket using the "Suggest an improvement" option here on the forum. Our developers will count your vote to add this feature.
