How to display post content using bricks content only

What I would like to do: create a post, set the title and then add the post image.
Then I would like to continue editing the post using the Bricks builder and publish it afterwards. I want to display the post image together with bricks data, because here I can use the icon list block from the Bricksable plugin, which works fine on other pages.

Unfortunately, mixing content from both builders seems to have some conflicts I can’t resolve.
The icon list does not show up. And if I disable “load gutenberg-data into bricks or save bricks data as gutenberg data”, the post isn’t showing any data.

Hi Martin,

First, I would recommend disabling both “load Gutenberg data into bricks” and “save bricks data as…”.

Then,

  • create a template, type “single”
  • add a condition “post type: posts”
  • add your featured image, post title, post meta… whatever you would like to show up on every post.

Next, add two post content elements. Set the first one to WordPress, the second one to Bricks. This ensures that you can write your posts with Gutenberg or create your post entirely in Bricks. If the Gutenberg content is empty, the template shows your Bricks content and the other way around.

However, we still recommend creating posts in Gutenberg because it will make it much easier if you ever want to switch themes. Gutenberg posts are displayed with any theme. Posts created with Bricks (or any other page builder) can’t be displayed without extra effort and much database wrangling.

Hi Timmse,
We also want to show the bricks content but show the latest blog post on a regular page. However, when we add the post content element to the page, there is no option between gutenberg and bricks content. Any recommendation how we can archive that?

Thanks
