Exclude a Single/Page template if the page itself is built with Bricks

Hi all,

I’m running into an issue with Bricks when trying to exclude a Single/Page template if the page itself is built with Bricks. I’ve made a Single page template that has the condition ‘Post Type > Page‘. So all page’s use that template as a fallback. But i’d like when a page is edited with Bricks builder that the template is overwritten and that the page uses its own styling that I made with the bricks builder.

In another forum post I came acros this peace of code:

add_filter( 'bricks/active_templates', function( $active_templates, $post_id, $content_type ) {
    if ( ! bricks_is_frontend() ) {
        return $active_templates;
    }

    if ( $content_type !== 'content' ) {
        return $active_templates;
    }

    $post_type = get_post_type( $post_id );

    if ( $post_type !== 'page' ) {
        return $active_templates;
    }

    $bricks_data = \Bricks\Database::get_data( $post_id, 'content' );

    if ( empty( $bricks_data ) ) {
        return $active_templates;
    }

    $active_templates['content'] = $post_id;

    return $active_templates;
}, 10, 3 );

This works on the frontend, but when I want to edit that page, only the template loads without content and I can’t edit the page contents.

Is there a way to exclude a page from a template when its’s edited with Bricks builder? I know I can exclude a individual page manually in the conditions. But then when I create a new page with bricks builder, I have to manually add that page everytime to the conditions. I’d like that to happen automatically when a page is edited with bricks builder.

Hey @wotigroup,

adjust the beginning of the function like this:

add_filter( 'bricks/active_templates', function( $active_templates, $post_id, $content_type ) {
    if ( bricks_is_builder() ) {
        $active_templates['content'] = 0;
        return $active_templates;
    }
    
    if ( $content_type !== 'content' ) {
        return $active_templates;
    }
    
    [...]

See Example: Disable active template in the builder.

Best,
