Themes, page builders, and now Gutenberg provide blocks or modules for displaying content. Architect lets your create custom content blocks that you can then display with any theme, page builder or Gutenberg.

Description

Go beyond the limitations of the layouts in the theme or page builder you use to easily build any content layouts for it. E.g. grids, sliders, lists, galleries, tables etc.

Most themes give you great looking layouts for your content, but are usually limited to what that theme provides. Frameworks give you control, but often require getting your hands dirty.

Architect breaks down both those barriers.

What if you love your theme, but just want the content layout of the homepage to be done your way? Architect solves that.

What if you love your theme framework but want an easy way to build the content layouts without having to cut code? Architect solves that.

With Architect you can build the layouts your theme does not provide - and all from one plugin. No longer do you need a plugin for sliders, another for magazine grids, another for tabbed content or another for displaying photo galleries.

Also, to ease maintenance and improve performance, it's best to minimize the number of plugins on your site. Architect helps that by replacing several plugins with one.

Why use Architect?

Architect greatly reduces the complexity of designing and developing methods to display your content. For example, if you are using the Twenty Thirteen and decide you want a 3x3 grid of excerpts to display on the home page, you would have to code a page template for that purpose.

With Architect, you code the shell of the page template, but build the rest in Architect and paste one very simple line of code into your page template that calls and displays the Architect Blueprint.

Blueprints can be displayed using widgets and shortcodes as well.

You can even override the design of the WP Gallery shortcode with your own Blueprint.

Installation

  1. Install and activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

Usage

There are several ways to display Architect Blueprints.

  • Shortcode: [architect blueprint="yourblueprint" ids="1,2,3,4,5"]
  • Template tag: echo pzarchitect('yourblueprint','1,2,3,4,5');
  • Widget
  • Headway Block
  • Blox Block
  • Padma Block
  • Beaver module
  • Action hooks (Insert a hook in your theme page template, then hook Architect to it)
  • Actions editor (Built into Architect, all you have to know is the name of the hook you want to use)
  • WP Gallery shortcode override

Frequently Asked Questions

What themes is Architect compatible with

Architect should work with any theme but some will take more effort than others, especially in terms of the look and layout. To that end, we provide the means to match CSS classes and create your own panel definitions.

Is Architect compatible with all plugins

The short answer is "Unlikely". No plugin can hope to be compatible with all other plugins (there are more than 36,000 of them!) but we do aim to be compatible with the more popular ones. We will endeavour to rectify any incompatibilities found; however, it's also not uncommon for the root cause to be the conflicting plugin. Always make sure you are running the latest version of your plugins.

Is Architect WPML compatible

Yes. Architect has been successfully tested with WPML.

Do you provide refunds

Yes! We're pretty flexible on refunds, allowing 60 days. But we would like you to make sure you've done everything possible to get Architect to work to your requirements, especially seeking support on our help desk.

If I deactivate Architect, will I lose all my Blueprints

No. We don't delete any of your data. In the future a method will be provided for you to remove all Architect data if you really need to.

Known issues

  • Importing Blueprints, you will have to redo filters. This is a limitation of Redux not Architect.
  • Videos don't autopause when changing slides
  • Retina images currently only generates 2x
  • Some fields may not save when offline. This is a Redux issue too.
  • Architect not compatible with JetPack Photon
