Hello,

I really like to get Beaver Themer and Toolset to work. I would love to get your opinion on what the best workflow could be. I like to keep using Beaver to design pages, headers, footers and so on. Nothing is simpler.

I was wondering if I could design certain content templates with the blocks editor and then import them via shortcode into the beaver builder built page. It doesn't seem to be possible. It only shows blank when I try to import a shortcode like [wpv-post-body view_template="Show Dealers"].

Your opinion is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, unfortunately Toolset's Content Templates cannot be used effectively with Beaver Themer. Their theming system is inherently incompatible with the way Content Templates are implemented, so using the two together will have unexpected results. We recommend you do not mix any BB features with Toolset features on the same page:

For that reason, there really is no best workflow here. Once you use Beaver Themer to design a reusable "shell" for the site, there is no way to avoid mixing the two systems on the same page.

Understood.
