Hi
I’m trying to understand if gradually adapting a existing custom theme to Bricks is a good solution.
Having some pages built in page-whatever.php and changing them to a Bricks template.
Or vice-versa, if its problematic to build a CPT page template with Bricks and as the complexity of the queries rises, change it later for a cpt-custom-template.php page?
And, looking at the future of WP, is it advisable to turn on Convert Gutenberg Data on?
Thanks!
Hi, ridesirat!
Sorry for the late reply! There is no need for creating custom PHP templates. You can build your templates completely inside of the builder. If there is something special that is not supported within the builder, you can use the code element, where you can put almost everything you can imagine: PHP, CSS, JS, HTML… as you would normally do inside of your PHP template or external files.
Best practice in terms of Gutenberg is to keep writing your posts in Gutenberg and show them inside of your posts template with the posts content element. This way, you can switch your theme every time without losing your content. With pages, it depends on how complicated your layout and content are. Not every Bricks Element can be converted to Gutenberg Content or vice versa. You can read more about it in the Bricks Academy article.
