RC3: Classic Elements in Layout Builder

Should classic elements be available in the layout builder. I’d like to use a slider.

@Sheri17, thanks for writing in! They need to be enabled for each specific user role that might need them on the Settings page for the theme in the WordPress admin:

Thanks!

They are enabled. I can see them in the content builder. In the layout builder the list ends without the classic elements.

Hi @Sheri17,

I’m sorry about that, they’re not being added to the Layout Builder right now. I can’t think of a reason why they wouldn’t work so I’ll see if we can get them enabled.

I sort of “accidentally” brought some classic elements over into a layout because they were part of an older “Template”, and when they’re on the page, the front end only shows the underlying shortcodes for those elements. They don’t render properly on the live site. They’ll display properly in the preview though.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll make sure that’s fixed, and we’ll see about just making classic elements available in the layout builder.

Rendering issue fixed and Classic Elements will appear in the library of the Layout builder.
