Swift page builder on by default

[Pothe]

Hi,
I’ve activated the swift page builder for all the post types I want, but it isn’t on by default when a post is created. This causes issue when I am importing lots of products that use the page builder shortcodes.

1. How to activate the page builder as default on, rather than the classic.
2. How to turn it on with a bulk a edit/import. Is their a custom field to activate it?

Thanks

Hi

1. I’m afraid the theme can’t control the default editor.
2. If you are importing dante content, it should work when you import.

Hi,
I’m importing hundreds of products and need the editor to be on by default.

I’ll also be importing many 1000s of posts. If I use the page builder shortcodes in the content it won’t work unless I manually activate the page builder on each post… is that right?

Thanks for the help

I will forward this to the developer to double check, I think he’s currently writing up a guide on how to migrate to Cardinal

OK thanks.

Hi Andrew,

Best way to do this is to run a database query on your wp_postmeta table:

UPDATE wp_postmeta
SET meta_value = 'true'
WHERE meta_key = '_spb_js_status';

You might want to make a backup before just incase, and check your postmeta table name.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Ed.
I guess I could also do the same with a plugin like.

Custom Field Bulk Editor

Thanks

Yes – that should work fine!

Would still recommend a backup just incase 🙂
