In this talk, I explored the evolving WordPress landscape and how tools like Beaver Themer blur the line between pages builders and themes.
Beaver Themer is a new extension that enables advanced users to enter the domain of theme developers by allowing them to create layouts using Beaver Builder and assign them as templates to pages like your blog, CPTs and Woocommerce pages. Through field connections, users are also able to display metadata in these layouts without resorting to code.
