Hi. Firstly, this is a great set of tutorials, thanks. I am left a tad confused with this last however one regarding how the layouts display in wp-admin and have a (sorry rather long winded) question -

  • So you seem to have created an individualTemplate page for each page that is created and created a 'page builder' with multiple layouts. In a small example site with Home, Contact, Team and About pages that share various components but each have components that are only shown on their respective page, does that mean that the wp-admin edit for each page will display all of the components that are used across all pages? Maybe this shows a lack of understanding on my part how the layouts work in flexible content, but they seem to be more like sections than layouts?

Ahh, ive just set this up myself and now I see. It really is a full blown page builder, damn that's clever, when I usually make sites using ACF and themes I tend to just use the content types required, this gives a lot more flexibility. good work!

It is such a long tutorial and introduces so many custom approaches that I can totally understand if one gets lost. Thats why I actually wanted to make an explanation video for it, but I really don't have the time at the moment.

Glad you worked it out though. It is still not a full blown page builder, more like a section builder actually. But I feel it serves most of my purposes and it is dynamic enough :)
