To create a new Page you need to follow these steps:

1. Navigate to ‘Pages‘ in your wp-admin sidebar and click ‘Add New option‘.
2. Input a new name for your page, then enter the content using Bold Builder.

When you create a page you will see ‘Switch Editor‘ button. If you do see classic WordPress’ HTML editor, please click Switch Editor button to get Bold Builder editor.

Bold Builder allows you to set the row width independently from section’s width.

Click to edit the Row element.

The Columns layout option (Row element → General tab) controls how wide the row is and how its columns are aligned inside that width. It has two parts:

1. Row width — the maximum content width of the row.
2. Columns structure — how the first/last columns behave within that width.

First you need to set the Row width, and its options are:

Default (wide), 1200px, 1300px, 1400px, 1500px, 1600px

If you select ‘Default (wide)’ as row width, the row will be full-width (as the section), and the structure options are disabled.

When you select one of the other width options (1200px, 1300px, 1400px, 1500px, 1600px), you’ll be able to set the column structure. 

Here are the options for the content layout. You can find layout examples on this page – Row Layouts.

Click ‘+’ in Row toolbar to add columns.

From Edit Layout dialog you need to pick wanted layout of columns, e.g. 1/2+1/2 will add two columns with same width.

NEW FEATURE: Starting from the Bold Builder version 3.0.0, you can set different number of columns on each device (desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile).

Row element is based on Bootstrap’s 12 column grid, and you can have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 12 columns in a row.
The most used structures are:
1/1+1/1
1/2+1/2
1/3+1/3+1/3
1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4
1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5
1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6

or combinations:
1/3+2/3
1/4+2/4+1/4
3/4+1/4
5/12+7/12
1/12+10/12+1/12

NEW FEATURE: 5 columns feature was added from 3.0.0 version of Bold Builder.

Once you select the number of columns, you can set their width as well.

For example, the following row has two columns where left column is 3/4, and right one is 1/4:

NEW FEATURE: Two new features are added to Column element (from the version 3.0.0.):

1. Column alignment on mobile allows you to set different alignment depending on a device. For example, you can have column aligned left on desktop and laptop, and then center align it on tablet and mobile.

2. Second feature is column order which allows you to change order of the columns on different devices.

To move an element, left click on it and hold. Then start dragging it to the column where you want to place it.

You can use ‘up’ and ‘down’ arrows on your keyboard to scroll through the page.

Once you scroll to the column where you want to place the element, hover over it till you see pale blue color. The color indicates that the element can be placed there.

Please have a look at the screenshot.

All sections, rows, columns or elements can be copied and pasted on pages.

Element ID

It can be used to apply new CSS for that one specific element, or to create anchor links.
If you want to apply CSS, add desired ID to the field, for example ‘myID’. Then add CSS code to Additional CSS field in Customize panel. For example:

#myID {
    color: #fff;
}

To create anchor links navigate to the Bold Page Builder and edit desired section. Insert in Custom Tab Element ID attribute:

Then in Appearance > Menus add a new Custom Link and as a URL insert custom ID atribute with #.

For example: #about

Extra Class Name(s)

Here you can add existing class to apply its CSS to the section, or create new class with different CSS. If you want to apply custom CSS, add desired class name to the field, for example ‘myClass’. Then add CSS code to Additional CSS field in Customize panel. For example:

.myClass {
   color: #000;
}

First thing you need to do in order for the Color Schemes to work is to define Accent and Alternate color. This is done in Settings > Bold Builder on your dashboard.

Then you can select desired color scheme within element, in Design tab.

Example from the Section:

Here is a breakdown of what each color scheme does:

• Light: Black/White – background will be white and text will be black.
• Dark: White/Black – background will be black and text will be white.
• Accent/Black – background will be black and text will be accent color.
• Black/Accent – background will be accent color and text will be black.
• Accent/White – background will be white and text will be accent color.
• Black/Alternate – background will be alternate color and text will be black.

*Note that when section has background image or custom background color, color defined as background color within color scheme will not display.

The above examples refer to section, row, and column elements.

If the color scheme is defined in, for example, Headline element, it will affect superheadline, headline, and subheadline text. Subheadline and Headline will be first color of color scheme, and superheadline will be second color of color scheme.

In case of Button element, first color in color scheme will be the color of text, and second one will be background color.

In order to export the section you created from one page / site, and import it to another one, please follow these steps:

1. Open page you want to copy, and click on ‘Copy‘ button.

2. Then, click on the two arrows at the bottom of the screen.

3. On the pop up that appears, click export, and copy the symbols that appear.

4. After that select to add new section to the page / site where you want to copy it. Click on the blue button ‘+‘ to add it.

5. Then again click on the two arrows on the bottom of the screen, paste the symbols you previously copied, and click ‘Import’ button.

6. Close the pop up, and on the Section settings panel click ‘Paste’. Make sure to save changes and now your section should be properly copied.

1. First of all, navigate to the Bold Page Builder and edit desired section. Insert in required Custom Tab Element ID attribute:

2. Then in Appearance > Menus add a new Custom Link and as a URL insert custom ID atribute with #.

For example: #about

If you need to apply CSS code to just one particular page, you can do that by adding the code to Custom CSS field.

Custom CSS field is located at the top of the page, just under the page title.

Once you click on the field, the pop up will appear, and that is where you can paste your code. When you add CSS code, click on the save button.

When the CSS code is added to the field it will display in blue color.
