I'd like to add a WP Bakery Builder (editor) to my Custom Template. Right now, I am using a multi-line field where I am adding raw HTML to create the content — see attached image — it creates the section from USES to BREAKING STRAIN on the page linked below:

hidden link

What I would much prefer is to use WP Bakery content tools to create this section as it gives me a lot more formatting and layout flexibility without hand-coding. Is there a way to use (or insert) a WP Bakery editor in a template?

Thanks for you help!

Hello,

You can use WP Bakery Builder to design Views content template, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-toolset-with-wpbakery-page-builder/create-templates-for-custom-post-types/
You will be taken to the Content Template editor. Click on the WPBakery Page Builder button to design the template.

However, there are some limitations, for example:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-toolset-with-wpbakery-page-builder/#installing-toolset

Toolset also features its own builder plugin called Layouts. However, when using Toolset with WPBakery Page Builder, we recommend not activating Layouts and using WPBakery Page Builder instead.

For your reference.

Thanks for the response, but need more of a yes or no answer to whether what I want to do is possible. Can you advise?

I'd like to have a WP Bakery editor as one of my Custom Fields (to replace my current Multiple Line field). Or is there any other way to have a combination of Custom Fields / Template / WP Bakery editor?

For the question:
have a WP Bakery editor as one of my Custom Fields (to replace my current Multiple Line field)

I assume you are going to design a custom multiple line field with WP Bakery editor.

If it is, the answer is no, there isn't such a built-in feature with Toolset plugins, you can add a feature request for it:
https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

Our developers will evaluate it.
