It struck me that, if I was going to use ACF in any way at all like this, i had to roll up my sleeves. In the last couple of days, I have been hacking away at building what seems to have become a Bootstrap-infused, semi-visual CMS builder inside WordPress, dependent on ACF. And, on the other hand, wondering if I could have something that is more open-ended – dragging and dropping blocks that adhere to and represent Bootstrap 4 mark-up.Ĭan Advanced Custom Fields be used for any of this? I have seen there is an add-on for the Site Origin Page Builder – but I’m not sure this fits my needs. I suppose I’m talking about, on the one hand, creating my own reusable blocks of code that could be added to a page structure, and the author would then write in the content of those blocks. Bootstrap 4 has a particular way of defining columns, rows etc, and mobile breakpoints – which would be messed up by these builders’ own markup. I have looked around and, whilst there are many WordPress page builders, they all seem to use their own mark-up, whereas I would want to use only Bootstrap 4 markup and classes (plus my custom classes). So, let’s say I don’t just want page templates but actual drag-and-drop page building capability – placing containers and columns on the page in the ways I want, adding the classes I want at that time (rather than as page templates)… different background image in equivalent div or different containers to be used, different number of columns, at different breakpoints, depending on the page. I am struggling to see how to overcome subtley different page markup requirements across otherwise similar pages – ie. ![]() ![]() I have built WordPress themes out of Bootstrap pages in the past – threading Bootstrap in to a WordPress theme. ![]() various parts of the actual content should be customisable in a vanilla standard page layout. Some of those pages may be page templates, ie. I then want to move them in to WordPress. I am building a set of web pages offline, in the Bootstrap 4 web framework.
