Editing a Non-Brizy Page

Hi Guys,

This is a simple question. I have a Privacy Policy page I wish to edit. It's the stock WordPress version. If I open it with Elementor the existing text shows up.

But when I open it with Brizy the existing text is invisible. Instead of showing that text it asks me to choose a new block for the blank page.

It seems like I can't edit pages which weren't created by Brizy. That's a pretty big restriction if true. Is there a work around, or did I miss a step?

Otherwise, can I import non-Brizy pages into a new Brizy page where I can see the content? Thanks for clarifying things!

Best regards,

-Steve

  Hi Steven,

  Yes, you can edit the Privacy page with brizy editor. For this, you have to open the Edit mode of the page and click on "Edit with Brizy". After this, in the Brizy editor, you will see the black page but you have to add a block and inside that block to add the Post Content element and all the content you created in the WordPress editor will be placed here. You will be able to make some modification on the content for example to change the typography and colours, but if you will want to add a new term or change some text, will be a bit complicated to edit it. You will not be able to change it inside the Brizy editor and you will need to migrate back in WordPress editor, but doing this it is hight possibly to lose all the content already created. Therefore, in this case, I can provide some recommendations:

  1 - Don't create the Privacy Policy's content in the WordPress editor, but directly in Brizy editor;

  2 - If you already created it in the WordPress editor make sure that it doesn't need some modification;

  3 - Copy the entire content in a document in your computer, for the case you will notice that the content need some modifications and you already open the Brizy editor for the Privacy page and the content is created in WordPress.

   

  - Regarding this question "can I import non-Brizy pages into a new Brizy page where I can see the content?" - Unfortunately, isn't possible to edit with Brizy a page that is created with the theme or another page editor.

   

  Best regards,

  Sandra

  That does not seem to work. Brizy kills the page. Recommend everyone, backup/clone content before pressing Edit with Brizy as there is no going back. Even when chossing Return to Wordpress editor (2023)

  Hi Robert,

  Yes; you are right. A page created using Gutenberg Editor should not be edited with Brizy.

  For creating pages in Brizy, the recommended process is to add a new page in the Gutenberg Editor, name it and then start editing the page directly in Brizy by clicking on 'Edit with Brizy'
