Hello, we are using Avada theme and have seen that views have now replaced blocks.
We have some pages that will be fully toolset contact, that we will build with toolset blocks. But for pages like our home page that is built with the Avada builder how do we add/build a small view into pages where we are using the themes builder?

If you design a View with Blocks (by adding a View to a page edited with the block editor) and then try to insert that View onto another page which is not edited with blocks (so you cannot insert it with the View block, e.g. if you are using another page builder such as Avada) then some of the stying of the View will be lost.

However, I found that if you create a Content Template to act as the container for the View (so don't assign the template to anything, and insert a View block in the template to create your View), you can then insert the template using a shortcode into a page that is not made with the block editor (e.g. made with Avada), and the View styles are maintained.

If your page doesn't include a wysiwyg editor with a Fields and Views button to insert the template shortcode, you can add the shortcode for the template manually, in this format:

[wpv-post-body view_template="slug-of-template"]

Great. Thank you! That solution works well.
