I’m currently importing several posts via XML data and I’d like for these new posts to use the same global block. So when I’m importing it, I’m including the post content to have the shortcode (ex. [cs_gb id=3938]).
At first glance, the global block displays correctly. However, if I decide to edit the post with Pro, the global block disappears completely. Why is that?
Is there something I can do beforehand to enable each post to be “Pro activated” if that makes sense?
Go to pro > settings > scroll down to general and turn the button on for Posts. You can turn it on for portfolio here as well.
Hey henrybag, I think my question may have been a bit misleading.
I do have this setting enabled.
Let me rephrase this.
For example if I make a new post and I type in some text on Wordpress’s built-in editor (NOT PRO) and Publish it, it’ll display the text normally. If I decide to go back to the same post and hit “edit with Pro” all the content gets erased. Is there a way to prevent this and preserve all the content from being erased? Would enabling this (specific) page beforehand to be edited with Pro prevent this? If so, how would I do this?
Hey There,
Since Pro as any other builder is using a custom structure you can’t convert the default content to Pro content. Unfortunately there is no way to mix those two content types. All the best!
Totally understand. Is there a post meta value that changes a post to be Pro-enabled?
Hi @KremeChoco,
It’s a serialize metadata that is added to the posts. When you exported the XML data that only contains the content (the shortcodes) but not the metadata the Cornerstone needs.
You might be able to get a workaround with that working in the database, but please do mind that we can not provide support for that.
You might want to export your Cornerstone built posts as .tco so you can import it as a Cornerstone template and apply that template to your other posts/pages, but we understand that this might not be the best solution for you if you have a lot of posts/pages.
Cheers!
