In Beaver Builder there are two ways to duplicate a layout: duplicate the whole page or post, or save a page, row or module as a template for reuse at any point in any page, which is in many ways a better method. Here are the two methods, explained. As always, don’t hesitate to get in touch for pristine, pixel perfect WordPress web design<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Duplicate an entire page or post<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Log into your website, and on the front end ie. when looking at a page or post, look at the admin bar at the top. Do you see an option to duplicate the page or post?
    \n\"\"<\/li>\n
  2. If not, then go to the dashboard of the website which you can get to by clicking the name of the website in the Admin bar, top left:
    \n    \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Then go to Plugins > Add New
    \n    \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Search for Duplicate Post using the search field, and install, then activate it.
    \n    \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. Now you can go to the front end of your website and duplicate any page or post.
    \n\"\"
    \nYou can give it a new title, then modify the content and publish it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    – or, perhaps a better method –<\/p>\n

    Save a layout element for later re-use<\/h2>\n

    Firstly, create the template:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go to a page or post which has something you wish to duplicate, and activate the Page Builder.
      \n\"\"<\/li>\n
    2. If you want to reuse the whole page’s layout, then in the Beaver Builder Bar, go to Tools, then Save Template<\/strong>:
      \n      \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    3. A more likely scenario, and the one which you may find more useful is reusing only part of a page or post, such as a Row or preferably a Module.<\/li>\n
    4. Click the spanner icon on a Row or Module. Unless you have a row with special settings, saving a module as a template is probably preferable.
      \nRow settings:
      \n      \"\"<\/a>
      \nModule settings:
      \n      \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    5. Click Save As<\/strong> to save the Row or Module as a Template
      \n      \"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
    6. Exit the page builder by clicking Done, then Discard Changes<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n

      Use the saved template in a layout:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Go to the page or post you want to use the saved template on, and launch the page builder there:
        \n\"\"<\/li>\n
      2. Scroll down to Saved Rows or Saved Modules, and drag your saved item into the layout:\"\"<\/a><\/li>\n
      3. Finish off by clicking Done, and publishing your post or page<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nNote<\/strong>: you can reuse the saved template as often as you like. You can manage saved templates by going to the Templates admin page in the WordPress dashboard:
        \n        \"\"<\/a>
        \nPlease be careful not to delete any important templates, such as the header and footer of the website.\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
