Beaver Builder Problems

Beaver Builder is a plugin that is designed to work with any WordPress theme. However, it works better with some themes than others.

These are some of the problems I’ve encountered and how I fixed them.

Top Gap

Large gap between the theme’s navbar and the top row in my Beaver Builder layout.

If you get a large gap at the top of your layout, apply a negative margin to the top row of your layout. For instance, I used a -100 pixel top margin.

Row Toolbar Hidden

After I added a negative margin, that row’s toolbar moved up under the navbar and I could no longer access it.

So, when I wanted to access that row’s toolbar, I dragged an empty row above that row. This moved the row I wanted to access down and I could once again see the row’s toolbar.

Sticky Footer colour is visible behind my other rows

To solve this I just made sure all of the rows in my page layout have a background colour set.

Themes that work especially well with Beaver Builder

• Dynamik Website Builder. This is aimed at very competent amateurs and small agencies.
• GeneratePress. This is an excellent theme for a small business or blog owner.
• Beaver Builder also make their own theme. But it’s not cheap.
