Hello @chenz2,

Here’s the issue I created for this request: https://github.com/BoldGrid/post-and-page-builder/issues/132

Scrolling after the user inserts is a good suggestion. We’ve experimented with several different approaches in the past including inserting with autoscrolling or inserting at the user’s cursor position. We’ll need to go through the use cases and do some thorough testing before we can settle on a solution. However, we should be able to implement the feature as you suggested.

Thanks,
Rafael

Hello @chenz2,

I updated the code for that plugin to include an area to direct users to the drop down to get started.

Blocks are added to the top of the page so that new users can easily find them. When the pages are long we found that users were confused if they were added to the bottom of the page. I understand how that is undesirable for more experienced users. This behavior is not currently customizable. I will submit a request to allow control of this behavior as a Setting, so that you can choose the behavior.

Thanks,
Rafael

Hello @chenz2,

I’ve created a plugin for you which hides the other block categories and selections while adding new blocks. It uses css to hide the other options, and some javascript to change the initial type.

You can view the code here: https://github.com/BoldGrid/ppb-library-block-only/blob/master/ppb-library-block-only.php

And here is the plugin zip: https://github.com/BoldGrid/ppb-library-block-only/archive/master.zip

The drawback to this approach is that when opening the blocks screen, no blocks are visible until the user changes the selected block type. Hope it helps!

Thanks,
Rafael

Thanks for the positive review! I’m sorry you ran into roadblocks while creating your site. We try to make our tools easy for first-time website builders, but we understand that sometimes we need to better educate our users. However, I’m glad you were able to get help from our support staff. I’ll make sure to pass along your positive feedback. If you have any suggestions that you’d like to pass on to make the tools easier to use for first time builders, let us know. We’re always looking for ways to make the process easier.

Glad to hear it! Our team is motivated by positive feedback like yours. Feel free to open a support thread if you have any questions or think of a feature you would like to see in the plugin. Feedback from designers is incredibly useful.

@jboyjw – I’ve just released a new version of the Post & Page Builder. Version 1.10.5 has addressed a conflict with the TinyMCE Advanced plugin which causes the DropTab to be inaccessible.

Awesome! Yes I will address any compatibility issues with tinyMCE advanced and roll them out with the next release, sometime next week. Glad I could help.

The drop tab should be visible even if you have another editor set as the default. As long as you have the Post and Page Builder set as the active editor for the current post, it should display. You may have encountered a bug, perhaps due to a conflict with another plugin within the editor.

Do you have another plugin active that may modify the WordPress editor?

If you’re familiar with the browsers console, you can open the Color Palette panel manually. Simply open up the console and enter the following command from a post with the page builder set as the current editor.

BOLDGRID.EDITOR.Service.colorPalette.openPanel();

This command will open the color palette panel, without needing the drop tab.

The Drop Tab should appear at the top of the post. Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/aisng0P .

Okay, I just released version 1.10.4 of the Post and Page Builder. The release includes the ability to disable the buttons component with a WordPress filter. By disabling it, the button CSS will no longer be saved into the custom stylesheet when making color palette changes. Also, you will no longer be able to insert the button component with the UI since it depends on the CSS.

Here’s what you’ll need to do.

1. Add the following to your themes functions.php

add_filter( 'BoldgridEditor\PageBuilder', function ( $configs ) {
    $configs['components']['buttons'] = false;
    return $configs;
} );

This will update the configuration that we use to control the way the builder behaves.

2. Reapply your saved color palette.

– Within the Post and Page Builder, change your color palette any other color palette. For help see: https://www.boldgrid.com/support/boldgrid-post-and-page-builder/configuring-your-color-palette-with-3rd-party-themes/
– Change your Color Palette back to the original
– Update your page or post

Since the override prevents the button styles from being saved into the custom styles, we need to regenerate the saved file. An easy way to do this is by toggling your current color palette. Saving will apply the changes. Don’t worry if the button styles don’t disappear at first after you save the button styles will be gone.

Let me know if you have any issues. I’m sorry you ran into conflicts with a Bootstrap theme. We will continue to improve theme compatibility and make integration easier.
