Tell us what you are trying to do?
Trying to create a content template with wpbakery page builder instead of "Block Editor".
It says "Template for XYZ - Block Editor" , I don't understand how to change that to something else.
In the WPBakery Page Builder Settings "Disable Gutenberg Editor" is already activated!

Please advise.

Thanks,
Dorian

Hi Dorian,

Welcome to Toolset support and I'd be happy to assist.

To see the option to switch to different editors while working with content templates, you can follow these steps:

1. Please select the option "Show both the legacy and Blocks interface and let me choose which to use for each item I build" for the "Editing experience" setting.
( at WP Admin -> Toolset -> Settings -> General ).

2. Next, please open your content template that is currently set to use the blocks editor and you'll see the link "Use the Classic Editor for this Template" at the bottom of the settings panel, at the right side.
( example screenshot: hidden link )

3. Once on the classic editor screen, you'll see the button to switch to the "WPBakery Page Builder".
( example screenshot: hidden link )

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Sorry one more thing I'm struggling with:

Please see hidden link:
The part from "Test Simon" to "the future of Europe." is generated by the template, but why is the rest there? Is this coming from single.php or something?

How do I get rid of "Test Simon", the date, the post image above the template?
As well as the share buttons and "You may also like" beneath the template?

Thanks,
Dorian

I found a way, had to create a custom php file for my custom post type and strip that from a bunch of code.

Cheers
Dorian
