title: Visual Composer: nth-child not working with css classes
body: <p>I am working on a website for a client, and she has Visual Composer installed. For a post grid, I need to assign a different color to each post title. My approach was to find the grid-item container and append :nth-child to it, then direct it to the custom css class I really want to apply the different color to. </p>
  
  <p>Example code, based on the actual code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>.vc_grid-item:first-child &gt; ... &gt; vc_gitem-zone-a &gt; ... &gt; .custom-post-title {
      background-color: red;
  }
  .vc_grid-item:nth-child(2) &gt; ... &gt; vc_gitem-zone-a &gt; ... &gt; .custom-post-title {
      background-color: green;
  }
  .vc_grid-item:nth-child(3) &gt; ... &gt; vc_gitem-zone-a &gt; ... &gt; .custom-post-title {
      background-color: blue;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Strangely enough, this technique worked fine for the hover-text effect over the post's featured image. </p>
  
  <p>I tried nth-of-type, but had little luck with it. It would work, but only parsed the first or second of type, applying the same color to all three divs.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried every path permutation I can think of, but not a single one works.
  Trying to track down a path through the endless divs that Visual Composer generates is practically impossible. Using the code inspector (Google Chrome), I found dynamically generated classes, classes injected as inline styles, and classes that were in the rendered HTML, but nowhere to be seen in the inspector. After several hours of carefully mapping out different "class paths" to make this work, I gave up out of sheer frustration.  </p>
  
  <p>Interestingly enough, the Visual Composer documentation is clear that, by adding custom css classes through its UI, custom styling is easy and straightforward. My experience is that this is true--if you want to apply the same color to all your divs in the post grid. Try customizing each grid-item independently, though, and it's a whole different ball game...one that may be impossible to win.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to how I might get this to work without resorting to some kind of hacky JavaScript black magic?</p>
