Blank Page Template for BB Plugin to Use

Beaver Builder
1

Hi guys,

The bloke that designed my site did not add in a “landing page” style template page, with no Header or Footer, Logo or Phone Number etc, but which incorporates the fonts and styles of the theme. I want to create such a beast so I can then use it as the page template for BB to then use for creation of a landing page.

Can I please have some guidance how to do this?

Thanks

John

Hey John,

The page template is actually part of the theme you’re using. Having to do it manually requires you to have a solid understanding of the PHP language as well as WP. I’m not really fond of themes so the only theme I know of that offers that is the BB theme. You might want to check that out. :slight_smile:

Huh? So how come when I apply one of the BB templates, it is surrounded by a page template from my theme?

Hey John,

Just wanted to chime in here. The BB Page Builder can only edit the contents of a page, not the entire page. Some elements of a page are controlled by the theme, like the Header/Sidebar/Footer. I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks!

Yeah, yeah, that’s what I was asking after. If you have anything on how I can creat a blank template page in my theme that I can then use with BB?

Ok, so here’s an update. I have created a completely new template called “Landing Page Template”. I have removed the sidebar, but whenever I remove the header, the whole page goes askew. Are you able to easily tell me what to change to make it completely clean so then I can have BB use it?

This is the contents of the relevant template php file:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Landing Page Template
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>
<div id=“primary” class=“full-width-page”>
<div id=“content” role=“main”>

		&lt;?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?&gt;
			&lt;?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?&gt;
			&lt;?php comments_template( '', true ); ?&gt;
		&lt;?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?&gt;

	&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #content --&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- #primary --&gt;

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Hey John,

I would love to help, but I think it would be best if you get in touch with the theme authors regarding your questions. You could also post the same question over to our FB Group or Slack channel. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you there.

Thanks!
