Is it possible to duplicate whole pages? I want to set up 4 identical pages for our 4 festivals, but then edit the information in the pages to be specific to each festival. I don’t want to have to go through designing the whole page again 4 times when I already have it as I want it!

Hi Clair!
The best way to duplicate an entire page is to “edit” the page using BoldGrid Post and Page Builder, switch to the “Text” editor and copy all the code you see there, then hover over “Post and Page Builder in the right-hand sidebar and select “Add New Block”. Once again switch to the “Text” editor and “paste” your code in to the Block Editor. After saving your content it will appear inside of your Block Library as a saved template, which you can re-use in your Post and Page content.
I hope this helps!

That’s great. Thanks Brandon.

How do you copy a section from one page to another?
Brandon says:
Hi Nigel, You can save the section as a Boldgrid block and add it to the other page by clicking the Add Block Button at the top of the Editor. Use the “Types” dropdown menu to select Block Library and you’ll see your saved blocks listed there.
