This guide refers to basic usage of Page Generator Pro with Brizy. It is not a substitute for referring to the Generate: Content Documentation, which must be read first to understand all Content Group configuration options.

Prerequisites

Older versions may work, however the steps below may not reflect the available functionality.

Brizy Page Builder 2.2.4 or higher
Page Generator Pro 3.0.2 or higher

Setup

Failure to follow all steps in this section may result in incorrect working functionality.

Before using Brizy in your Content Group, you’ll need to:

Navigate to Brizy > Settings
Tick / enable the Content Groups option within the Activate Brizy For section
Click Save Changes

Add a Content Group

To add a new Content Group to Page Generator Pro, click the Add New button below the Content Groups title, which can be found towards the top of the screen:
Page Generator Pro: Generate Content:

You will then be presented with a screen similar to the one used to edit your WordPress Posts and Pages:

It’s recommended that you first:

Define the Title,
Setup the Content Group settings, by referring to the Generate: Content Documentation.
Click Save

Once saved, click the Edit with Brizy button:

Edit a Content Group

To edit an existing Content Group in Page Generator Pro, click the Title of the Group that you want to edit:
Page Generator Pro: Generate: Group Actions

If this Content Group was previously edited in Brizy, click the Continue to edit with Brizy button in the Visual Editor:
If this Content Group was not previously edited in Brizy, click the Edit with Brizy button below the Title field:

Global Blocks

A Brizy Global Block gives you full control over a specific module that is displayed in multiple places on your site. Editing it in one place will instantly update the rest.

Whilst Page Generator Pro can replace Keywords, Spintax, Dynamic Elements etc. within a Global Block, you’ll find this block does not display when editing a generated Page in Brizy.

Therefore, you must convert any Global Blocks in the Content Group to standard Blocks:

Click on the Block in question
Click the Block icon in the toolbar (left hand icon)
Disable the Make it Global option

Dynamic Elements

As Brizy doesn’t use the Classic Editor / TinyMCE, you’ll need to manually build each Dynamic Element’s shortcode using the documented parameters. These can be found in the Adding: Page Builders section of each of the Documentation links below:

Template

To remove your Theme’s headers, sidebars, footers and menus, so that you have a blank canvas that just shows the Brizy blocks you’ve defined in the Content Group

Edit the Content Group
In the Attributes section, set the Template = Brizy Template
