Classic Editor

On the homepage, click Edit Page. If you see the Visual, Text, and, Page Builder tabs on the top right of your page, click Page Builder. If you only see Switch to Editor, this means you’re already in Page Builder mode.

Templates

There are a few different template options to choose from that cooperate with Page Builder. Users can select Blank, Page Builder, or Page Builder – Cards. Each of these gives the homepage a slightly different look, so it is best to try them all out and see which one fits best.

Note

Home and Default Template do NOT work with the Page Builder layout. They were used for the old-style homepages that were customized under Appearance > Widgets.

Layouts

Page Builder allows users to add different widgets in different areas of the page. To begin, click Add Row at the top of the page editing area. Users can add as many rows as they would like. Before the row is added, the user can choose how many columns will be in that row and what percentage of the row each column will take up. There are many pre-made column ratios to choose from as well. Once the columns are set up, click Insert to officially insert the row into your homepage.

...

Design allows you to choose a background color/image and a border color for your row.

Widgets

Each column on the Page Builder layout can hold widgets. To insert a widget, simply click Add Widget and choose the widget you would like to add. Once a widget has been added, you can drag and drop it to the column you wish to place it in. If you roll your mouse over a widget you will see options to Edit, Duplicate, or Delete it.
