In wp-admin, posts/pages/templates/rows/modules etc etc, there is now a duplicate link so you can duplicate that layout nativly now. Rather than using one of the many duplicate plugins that do not know how to handle nodes.
This is more of a debug tool for support really, like if you have 2 billion revisions and on potato hosting you can bypass the whole loading of revisions.
The official plugin has some great options! Literally you just connect it to your FA account and it will always load the latest version, plus all your kits are right there to select.
Thank you so much for these quick answers. Makes sense .
I can see the duplicate link now. It is added when a page or post is using a BB template. I like the idea, but I am concerned how this could work my clients who already have and need a duplicate post plugin for regular posts. On pages they could start to see the new BB option and the one they are used to.
You missed my question about being able to disable the outline panel.
outline panel, as it matures we will add a way to enable/disable it, there is more to be done there yet, it is only the 1st alpha
Yea as for the duplicate layout, unfortunately we have to add the link there, its the only place it can go, we only add it to types that are BB enabled, not our fault if other plugins blindly add their link to all types even if they have zero support for those types
Hi, i think that a plugin like Duplicate Post enables its duplicate option on a Post Type basis and i’m not sure it’s enabled by default for BB/Themer layouts, which allows to only have BB 2.5 duplicate option on BB Posts.
I love that you are including a duplicate post from the WP admin. It was really confusing and non-intuitive to work with users on duplicating from the BB editor. Couple of thoughts…
It would be nice if there was some integration with the Yoast Duplicator at least. I’m concerned that there will be a log of confusion if clients have that plugin for duplicating plus a BB duplicator. I would request that you work with them to get node handling into their code. Or are you saying that the BB duplicator will duplicate all other post / cpt types - even those that don’t have BB active?
Could you put “Duplicate” on the Beaver Builder admin toolbar so that users can duplicate right from the admin bar?
Ah… I believe you are correct that Duplicate Post is not enabled by default for Themer layouts. So the display logic should work in that case.
But in the case where Duplicate Post is enabled, and by default it is enabled for pages / posts, then if a page has BB enabled I’m guessing that two duplicate options will show. The one for Duplicate Post as a default duplicator and also BB Duplicator because BB is enabled for that page.
I need to get Alpha installed and just see what the behavior is like.
we could remove links from other plugins but there are literally 1000s of these plugins that add these action links to pages which makes that impossible.
The issue is here there are strict rules for hosting on wporg and one of those rules is you shouldn’t be messing with other plugins functionality. Our link will only show up if the layout is already a bb layout.
