This should still be fixed, easiest by a condition that allows to apply a template to all pages using Gutenberg. These pages need a section with the page width to live in, so it looks like other pages.
On the other hand, for Bricks pages you mostly will add the whole section and its content, so no template is necessary. Thatās one annoying thing, that makes my and certainly many new comers life harder. Especially as it seems the biggest builder Elementor allows this and many people finally switch from it to Bricks.
Itās often the small things, that can have a big impact.
Adding a CPT just to distinguish Bricks vs. Gutenberg build pages is a workaround, but not a professional one and something that adds any value, besides fixing a Bricks inconvenience.
I have to say that since moving from Oxygen to Bricks this is the greatest inconvenience Iāve found. In Oxygen I can drop into a page or a template, an area of content which is taken from Gutenberg. In this way a client can write or update their content in Gutenberg without messing up a page or template design. So simple and effective. Why this is not possible in Bricks is just beyond me.
I believe that a custom taxonomy for a page is a common practice. When developing a website, it is not difficult to add this.
What is written above is that it is in Elementor and it is because of this functionality that I have to spend a lot of time copying the content, since the user thought that it was possible to create pages both in Gutenberg and in the Elementor
At leat this workaround from Brickslabs does the job
@Matej
Can this still be addressed? Itās not beginner-friendly nor intuitive to overwrite all pages with a page template, even Bricks only pages. There should be a template condition for page with Wordpress content or Bricks pages should not be overriden.
The bricks/active_templates can be used to create additional conditions. The first example on the link below is to disable templates if Bricks data is detected on a page.
This would be handy, as sometimes you want to show gutenberg content and not build a page with Bricks. I came to Bricks from Oxygen Classic, which had a best practice template setup where if you added gutenberg content, it rendered it how you wanted in the template system, but as soon as you built something on the page with Oxygen, it would switch to showing Oxygen builder content only and the gutenberg stuff would not be rendered. I believe it used a built-in template hierarchy to do it.
Iām a bit weary of creating a work-around to achieve this in Bricks, because if I implement it on a bunch of sites and they all have to be updated in the future, it creates issues. Where a built-in feature for this would be much better.
