    For those of you who are fans of the Avia Layout Builder, instead of using the magic wand for advanced elements in default posts….

    As of now, some of you probably know, that in order to to edit posts with Avia Layout Builder you have to follow the instructions found here, to enable that feature:
    http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/use-the-layout-builder-with-any-post-type/

    The problem I’ve found with using the above method, is it messes up comments and other blog elements… Here is the easiest work-around to that breakage.

    Go to the post you want to edit which was built in the Avia Layout Builder
    Delete all elements
    Click on Default Editor
    Click Update
    Click on Revisions (under Publish)
    Go to Revise and revise the version prior to the last one you saved.
    If done properly, it throws your Avia Layout Builder into the default editor perfectly.
    Click Update

    Now you should be able to see comments and all post elements as intended.

    So… not sure if there is an easier way to do this… but here is something I stumbled onto which has helped me a great deal. Would be really spiffy to get a button added, which automated exporting from Avia Advanced Builder to Default Builder quickly… for people like me. :-)

    Hey!

    You can also enable debug mode to see the generated shortcodes below ALB:

    Nice…that makes the process even easier… just tested, works perfectly.

    Build your post in Avia
    Save
    Copy from Debug
    Delete All Avia Elements
    Switch to Default Builder
    Paste (if you mess up the paste, you can restore because you saved at Step #2)
    Update….Boom.

    30-second workaround.
