Content teplates applied to existing beaver builder content

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Problems with using Beaver Builder to design posts and templates.

Solution:
You can't nest Beaver Builder content, so if you design individual posts with BB you can't design the Content Template to show them with Beaver Builder, and vice versa.

I created a custom post type called "Nutrients". I have created some fields and taxonomies. I used beaver builder to create the content for each page.

Can I create a content template which takes the existing page content and allows me to add some shared content to the start and end of each page.

I tried to create a content template, but all the content I created disappears

Hi Paul

There are problems when you try to nest Beaver Builder content.

So if you have posts where the post content itself is created using BB, then you can make a Content Template for that post type, but you shouldn't also design the template in BB, you should design it just inside the normal Views HTML editor.

You will need your template to show the post content, meaning you should insert the wpv-post-body shortcode using the Fields and Views button, or directly like so:

[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]

If you find that doesn't work let me know, but I expect it will as I just tested it locally first.
