This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/brentjett/bb-experiments/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

This is a set of experiments and ideas to extend Beaver Builder. This code is free to use but is experimental and not supported in any way. Please do not use this plugin on a production site.

Experiment 1: UI Color Schemes

This plugin adds "User Interface" tab to the Global Settings panel in page builder (Tools > Edit Global Settings). This new tab allows you to select from alternate color schemes for the Beaver Builder UI.

Additional UI themes can be added with a filter:

<?php
function demo_add_color_themes($themes) {
    $themes['my_colors'] = array(
        'name' => __('My Color Scheme', 'bb-experiments'),
        'url' => '/path/to/your/stylesheet.css'
    )
    return $themes;
}
add_filter('bb_experiments_get_ui_themes', 'demo_add_color_themes');
?>

Upcoming Feature:

  • Select "Custom" and create your own color settings for beaver builder's UI.

Experiment 2: Minimap

This is a concept for a small control to let you see your layout at a glance, navigate to various rows and rearrange them. Reorder coming soon.

Experiment 3: Tutorials Base Plugin

This is a base plugin to create tutorial pages. It defines a custom post type and allows you to create a set of tutorial posts on activation.

Experiment 4: Store Kit

This is a stub for some modules to allow someone to create a template store site.
