    Hi, Im using Directory starter and Supreme. I saw that Beaver builder is the best page builder for Geo, but I’m using Elementor, will it work well too?

    Hello

    It is true that we have some examples that use Beaver Builder, though this is because it is free, not because it is recommended.

    Builders cannot be used on any of the GD Templates or pages within the page content area because GD content is inserted into those page content areas by the plugin, and that will overrides all content including builder content. In some cases, when builder content is inserted into the pages, there may be a conflict and so the solution is to remove the builder content.

    Builders can be used on the site front page or any other WordPress page, though, and each builder usually has some form of “insert shortcode” functionality to allow you to use GD shortcodes on other pages and posts without interference.

    With Elementor, there are no specific issues, but certainly Elementor, as with other builders, should not be used on GD pages.

    Hi Alex,

    Your answer was well explained, thank you for that.

    Can I ask you about V2 though. I’m assuming that the same applies, but I have to ask you anyway…. Will V2 accommodate the use of page builders, specifically Elementor and in using a theme such as Generatepress?

    V2 is a new approach that uses shortcodes or Gutenberg blocks in the page to display the content. Builder shortcodes can be mixed in.

    See this for details: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs-v2/geodirectory/templates

    V2 goes even further by enabling individual page templates (and unique layouts) for each Custom Post Type.
