Using UIKit in page/post content


Hi J.C.

While adding some HTML within the editor is "ok", it should surely not be used to build complex layouts as it is not meant to do so. WordPress was initially a platform built for blogs before it became much much more, and Beans is exactly the same.

The correct approach if you need more advance layouts (not just a blog) is to build your backend and organise the content to feed the front end layouts. This is usually done using Custom Post Types and custom fields. You can use Beans Fields API or other plugins such as ACF which allows you to control fields via the admin so you don't need to code them. Once your content is organised properly, you can code your front end using the power of Beans and UIkit.

Unfortunately, there are some steps you can't skip if you want to build proper websites. Beans gives wings and all the tools to achieve it pretty quickly and effeciently. The truth is that building proper websites requires some work and education, no matter what people say!

For info, this discussion is related to this matter.

Cheers,
