Bulk Enable Advanced Layout Builder on pages?

Hey tixxpff,
As I understand your situation, taking the debugger shortcode and creating new pages by adding the shortcode via the Classic Editor is not the same as debugger to debugger. While this does “work” when opening WordPress will still view it as Classic Editor content.
Opening each page and saving as an “Advanced Layout Builder” page should correct, but for a “bulk” save option, I have not found a solution.
But I have assisted with a function that will automatically open each page / post in the Advanced Layout Builder, but if you have posts that you don’t want to be in the Advanced Layout Builder format, this may cause issues, so I’m not sure this is a “clean” solution. If you wish to try, Try adding this code to the end of your functions.php file in Appearance > Editor:

function trigger_alb_on_load(){
	?>
	<script>
	(function($){
		$(window).load(function() {
			$("#avia-builder-button").trigger('click');
		});
	})(jQuery);
	</script>
	<?php
	}
    add_action('admin_head-post-new.php', 'trigger_alb_on_load');

If you are going to select the correct pages and open to save, it may save you some time, but I wouldn’t recommend using this for a client as they may get confused when opening non-Advanced Layout Builder posts.
I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Glad to hear. I would not recommend the database method as it could be risky.
