How to “import” existing theme-based pages to just-installed PageBuilder editor

I have an existing third party theme, and have made a number of modifications to it. Now just installed PageBuilder and haven’t figured out how to use it on all existing pages instead of default editor.

I loaded All Pages, and then selected Edit for one entire page (About). Then clicked Defaut Editor and selected PageBuilder on far right. But it only shows me one “row” and I can figure out how to load all the other content from several sections into PageBuilder.

At the bottom of the single row (which is essentially my title and s little text) it shows a word count of 1369 (which I presume is all the words on my original page in all the sections). And when I switch to the visual editor I only get menus (which are from the original third party theme).

I certainly don’t want to abandon all the work already done, and I am equally certain I have missed some fundamental in a DUH moment???

Can someone please head me in the right direction?

Hi John,
Unfortunately, there’s no way to automatically convert a page into multiple rows/widgets as there’s no way to know what widget/row setup is desired automatically. As such, the entire page is put in a single editor widget. You’ll need to manually reorganize things if you wish to have it spread out over multiple rows, columns, and widgets. Sorry mate. :(
