Wow! Beaver Themer is looking so powerful. I've been using iThemes Builder theme to do a lot of this but Themer seems much simpler. Thank you, Adam, for sharing so much information.

[SteveEisenberg]

For the demo of the video embed referenced a custom field has to be created so it can be included as a hyperlink within a post?

[MackBiggs]

In Beaver Themer how to create different post templates with the templet post attributes dropdown section on the post sidebar?

[SteveEisenberg]

does Pods work with genesis or a competitor?

Adam, do you have a video on how to display the Custom Posts, indexing on a page, just as the tradional posts indexed and displayed on a static page? Thank you

[helmutgobel]

Is it possible with Beaver Themer to switch on/off sections based on a condition (content of custom field or taxonomy, todays date, current time, role of the user etc.)? I'm working on niche page about certain books and the publishhouse gives more or less information, so some of the custom fields are empty. You might say, "then are the widgets empty"; but still the margins and paddings are still there and the layout looks ruined. Ore I have to make different layots. But with 7 options, you get 128 different layouts! That will became a mess.

I'm a newbie. Wondering what's the difference between Beaver Builder and Beaver Themer? I bought a license for Beaver Builder. Is this plug-in an add-on?

[deanphillips]

Adam, can ACF be used in other builders too (with maybe shortcodes)? Like Elementor for example?

[CoryRizzMMA]

You always say post and never page. Does the same thing work for pages or do the themed pages need to be posts?

[mhdskr]

When you added the ACF field to the post layout you had to specify that the field type is a text, why is that? should it recognize that on its own? I know it's a minor thing, but with ACF being advertised as officially supported/integrated in Beaver Themer, that would have been nice.

[blazingdan]

So, theoretically, one could create a theme in Themer called Video Blog Post and another called Podcast Blog Post and another called Gallery Blog Post (for instance), set each of those Themer post themes up with the relevant ACF custom fields (video embed on one, audio embed on another, gallery embed on the third) and essentially create Video, Podcast, and Gallery post layouts. Right?

Then when you create a new blog post, you could choose to apply the relevant theme to your new post. Is that correct?

I assume there is also a way to connect things via categories/tags, etc. But I want to wrap my head around this first. :)

[SiteStudio]

Custom Post Type UI is a better option than Pods and has over 500K active installations. Plays nicely with ACF as well.

[JakobSchweighofer]

Thats an awesome tutorial, thanks very much. One more question especially with this video field: How about RSS and people who use that. Any advice on how to implement this best?

[shamesdine]

Hello,
Thank you for this useful video. Can we modify the value of a custom field directly on the front-end. For example you add text with custom field somewhere in the template, but after you (or the customer) want to modify as a true text in the editor text and not go to the back office to change the value. Thanks :-)

Were you using the native WP blog method of creating posts? How is Beaver Builder incorporated? Looks like that post wasn't made with Beaver Builder but I could be wrong. Hopefully you'll show us how to create a Blog from start to finish with no steps skipped. I can certainly see the benefit of ACF. Great video!
I'm not sure when you use Beaver Builder and when you use Beaver Themer to create a Blog in general. I know a lot of the developers will be looking at this stupid question but I don't care...lol
I just can't differentiate between using the native Wordpress blog method vs using Beaver Builder to create a Blog.
What I'm asking is how to build the BLOG section of the site (main menu) and then the posts of course. You need a structure first before adding the posts.

I think what would help with this series is having a logical sequence to these videos. I think it would be useful starting a website from scratch and then showing how you incorporate BB, B-themer, and ACF as you build the site naturally step by step.

Hi Adam, Love you videos I'm at a slight crosscroads and want your opinion. I've been using Elementor (free version) for my website. Right now it's just a blog but eventually, I want to offer courses like your Lifterlms videos.
Using Bever themer I have so many ideas of customizing my site but I'm not sure if I should change to Bever Builder since I'm still ages away from launching a course. Thanks :D

[puredistancegolf]

Bear with me, but couldn't you have just used the Posts option in Beaver Themer and then used Beaver Builder to drag and drop the video module where you wanted it and achieved the same result as using the custom fields option in Wordpress or using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin? Thanks.

Hi and thanks for all your great videos on BB. I have been using the lite version and after watching your video I want to get the standard version. Payment page keeps asking me for my account info and password. i have never had a acc with BB or password for an account. Webpage does not even give you an option to open an account.
I'm trying to pay them some money and I can not even do that. I am happy to pay through your website. Cheers
