Prebuilt pagers workaround

By johnwey, 9 years ago. Last reply by johnwey, 9 years ago.

If you, like me, haven’t clue about using code . . . here’s a way to use prebuilt pages in this otherwise brilliant page building plugin

1. Build the page as you want it, but title it “Prebuilt Page -01” or similar. Effectively this now becomes a template, and you won’t be putting it into any of your menus for the public to see.
2. Now make a new page that you want to fill with your prebuilt content/formatting
3. Click the prebuilt button
4. Choose (from top left) Clone Pages
5. Choose the prebuilt page you made previously
6. Acknowledge the warning you will be overwriting existing content. It’s a blank page, right – so it doesn’t matter. The good thing is it doesn’t overwrite your new page Title
7. Create your new page.

It occurs to me that if SiteOrigin could include a Save As Prebuilt facility into the plugin, it would no longer disenfranchise the big percentage of non-coding users

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi johnwey

    Awesome, thanks so much for contributing this piece of documentation, I’m sure many will find it helpful. We somehow missed updating this page in our docs: Page: Page Builder Prebuilt Layouts so what you see there is all our old old interface. We’ll be sure to update that page ASAP.

    Thanks again for the contribution and idea. I’ve passed it up the chain.
