To manage Page Builder’s global settings, navigate to SettingsPage Builder; there you’ll find the following tabs:

General

Post Types
Enabled post types will appear under this heading. The default WordPress post types are pages and posts. Other post types might appear depending on the plugins you have activated. For example, if WooCommerce is installed, the products post type will appear. Use the checkbox to enable or disable Page Builder for each post type.

Use Classic Editor for New Posts
New posts will be created using the Classic Editor. If no Page Builder data is detected when saving and the Classic Editor plugin is not installed, the post will revert to the Block Editor.

Live Editor Toolbar Link
Display a Live Editor link in the toolbar when viewing the site.

Live Editor Toolbar Link: Close After Editing
When accessing the Live Editor via the toolbar link, return to the site after saving.

Display Post State
Display a SiteOrigin Page Builder post state in the admin lists of posts/pages to indicate Page Builder is active.

Display Widget Count

Parallax Type
Modern uses HTML images and the CSS transform property. Legacy uses CSS background images and the CSS background-position property. Modern can be used with smaller images and offers better performance. However, it cannot cover larger areas than the base image; Legacy can. Modern is recommended.


Modern Parallax Settings

Disable Parallax On Mobile
Disable row/widget background parallax when the browser is smaller than the mobile width.

Parallax Delay
The delay before the parallax effect finishes after the user stops scrolling.

Parallax Scale
How much the image is scaled. The higher the scale is set, the more visible the parallax effect. Increasing the scale will result in a loss of image quality.


Legacy Parallax Settings

Disable Parallax On Mobile
Disable row/widget background parallax when the browser is smaller than the mobile width.

Limit Parallax Motion
How many pixels of scrolling results in a single pixel of parallax motion. 0 means automatic. Lower values give a more noticeable effect.
