Skip to main content
The content area is everything between your site’s header and footer. The Content tab in the Customizer provides settings to control how your content is displayed.
The Blog layout, Archive layout, and Post layout settings apply to archive and post pages generated by WordPress as well as Beaver Builder layouts.

Content background

Set a background color or image for the content area.
  • For full-width layouts, this color will fill the entire area between header and footer, from edge to edge of the browser window
  • For boxed layouts, the color will fill the box between the header and footer

Blog layout

If you have any blog posts, set layout options for the post and archive pages. There are two categories of settings: Configure if and where the sidebar appears:
  • Position (left, right, or none)
  • Size (width)
  • Which devices it appears on
By default, the sidebar appears on Posts only, not Pages. You can enable the sidebar for individual Pages using the Templates field when you edit the page. If this sidebar is enabled for Posts, it appears by default on Posts, but you can suppress it on individual Posts by choosing Full width in the Templates field when you edit the post.
You can configure what appears in the sidebar by going to the WordPress admin panel and choosing Appearance > Widgets.

Post meta

Show or hide:
  • Author
  • Date
  • Comment count

Archive layout

For archive pages that display a list of your blog posts (such as when you set your home page to display your latest blog posts in Customize > Settings), you can set options for how the posts are displayed.

Full post or summary

If you have a lot of blogs or very long ones, it’s helpful to display a summary with a “Read More” link that takes you to the actual post. You can also change “Read More” to say something else.
The WordPress Search Results page is a type of archive but it always displays the excerpt, regardless of this setting.
You can show or hide the featured image from each post and choose where to display it in relation to the text:
  • Above title
  • Below title
  • Below content
  • Hide

Image size

You can choose the image size that you want to appear for each post in the archive:
  • Thumbnail
  • Medium
  • Medium Large
  • Large
This setting affects the size of the image on WordPress-generated archive pages, not in any of the Posts modules.

Post layout

Set options for individual blog posts (which appear in the Posts list on your WordPress dashboard). Show or hide the featured image for each post, and choose where to place it in relation to the post title and post content:
  • Above title
  • Below title
  • Below content
  • Hide

Image size

You can control the size of the featured image with four choices:
  • Thumbnail
  • Medium
  • Medium Large (768px wide with no height limit)
  • Large
Images sizes for small, medium, and large are set in Settings > Media in the WordPress admin panel.

Post categories

You can display or hide the categories to which the post belongs.

Post tags

You can display or hide the tags to which the post belongs. You can display or hide the navigation to previous and next posts.

Author Box

You can enable an author box, which appears under single posts between the category and the previous post navigation. Author box example The code pulls information from the Post author’s WordPress user profile:
  • Display name publicly as - Maps to the post author’s name in the bio box
  • Biographical info - Displays the post author’s bio in the bio box
  • Profile picture - The post author’s photo (by default, WordPress uses the user’s Gravatar)
If any of this information is missing from the user profile, the author box still displays, but without that object.

WooCommerce layout

Set options for the custom post type pages that WooCommerce uses. Hide the WooCommerce sidebar or place it on the left or right.

Number of columns

On WooCommerce category pages, you can configure the number of columns displayed per column group, from 1-6. The default is 4 columns per group. By default, support is enabled for WooCommerce galleries. You can disable this setting for older versions of WooCommerce.

Add to Cart button

You can show or hide the Add to Cart button on product category pages.

WooCommerce styling

You can enable or disable the Beaver Builder Theme’s custom WooCommerce styles and revert to WooCommerce’s default style. If you enable the lightbox, images you insert into a page automatically come with a link that, when clicked, open the image in a lightbox. This is recommended so that your visitors have the opportunity to view a larger version of your images. Lightbox example
The theme’s lightbox is applied to text areas in both WordPress and Beaver Builder layout modules. If there is more than one text image on a page, the lightbox includes navigation arrows that let the user cycle through the images.
