| 1 | # Beaver Builder Platform Help |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ## Step 1 — Gather context |
| 4 | |
| 5 | If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | 1. **What are you trying to do?** |
| 8 | - A) Fix a broken state — pages/editor loading slowly, the editor lags or freezes on big layouts, the builder got **deactivated on all pages except the home page after a migration**, layouts broke / "Beaver Builder not working" after a WordPress or plugin **update**, styling missing, license won't activate |
| 9 | - B) Build with the editor — Rows/Columns layout, Modules (Heading, Photo, Button, Gallery, Slider, Subscribe Form, HTML, etc.), reusable **Templates** and **Saved Rows/Modules**, responsive editing, global rows |
| 10 | - C) Use **Beaver Themer** — dynamic **headers/footers/archives/singular/404/search** templates, **Field Connections** to pull WordPress/custom-field/**ACF**/EDD/The Events Calendar/**WooCommerce** data, the **Loop Builder** for post listings, location/conditional rules |
| 11 | - D) Develop / automate — write a **custom module** (extend `FLBuilderModule`, `FLBuilder::register_module()`), use the **`fl_builder_*` hooks/filters**, the Beaver Builder **Theme** + theme hooks, or read/write `fl_builder` layout data via the **WordPress REST API** / WP-CLI |
| 12 | - E) Pick or compare a plan (Starter / Plus / Professional / Unlimited, or free **Lite**) or weigh Beaver Builder vs Elementor/Divi/Bricks/SeedProd/Gutenberg block plugins |
| 13 | |
| 14 | 2. **Free or paid?** The free **Beaver Builder Lite** (WordPress.org) ships a limited set of modules and no Themer/templates. The paid plugin adds the full module set, the Template/Saved-row system, and (on current plans) **Beaver Themer + Loop Builder + WooCommerce support on every tier**; **multisite is Professional+** and **white labeling is Unlimited-only**. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ## Step 2 — Route or answer directly |
| 19 | |
| 20 | | Problem domain | Route to | |
| 21 | |---|---| |
| 22 | | Funnel strategy, page structure, builder selection across tools (Elementor/Divi/Bricks/SeedProd/Gutenberg blocks…) | `/sales-funnel` — Run: `/sales-funnel {user's original question}` | |
| 23 | | A/B testing methodology (Beaver Builder has no native split testing) | `/sales-vwo` — Run: `/sales-vwo {user's original question}` | |
| 24 | | Email sequences/automation after a Subscribe Form opt-in | `/sales-email-marketing` — Run: `/sales-email-marketing {user's original question}` | |
| 25 | | Growing the list, lead-magnet strategy | `/sales-audience-growth` — Run: `/sales-audience-growth {user's original question}` | |
| 26 | | WooCommerce store/checkout strategy across platforms | `/sales-checkout` — Run: `/sales-checkout {user's original question}` | |
| 27 | | WordPress/WooCommerce funnel + upsells around the pages | `/sales-cartflows` — Run: `/sales-cartflows {user's original question}` | |
| 28 | | On-page/technical SEO beyond clean markup | `/sales-seo` — Run: `/sales-seo {user's original question}` | |
| 29 | |
| 30 | If the question is Beaver Builder-specific, continue to Step 3. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## Step 3 — Beaver Builder platform reference |
| 33 | |
| 34 | **Read `references/platform-guide.md`** for the full platform reference — modules/capabilities, pricing/plan gates, data model, integration recipes, and best practices. For the **developer API** (custom modules via `FLBuilderModule`, `FLBuilder::register_module()` settings, the `fl_builder_*` hooks/filters, the Hooks Reference, and the WordPress REST surface for `fl_builder` layout data), read `references/beaver-builder-api-reference.md`. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ## Step 4 — Actionable guidance |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Focus on the user's specific situation. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - **Beaver Builder is a standalone drag-and-drop builder, not a Gutenberg block plugin.** It edit |
