Third-Party Plugin Integrations

Beaver Builder includes automatic compatibility fixes for over 100 popular WordPress plugins, ensuring smooth operation regardless of what other tools you’re using on your site.

Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)

Beaver Builder provides deep integration with Advanced Custom Fields for dynamic content.

ACF Support Features

ACF Blocks

Use ACF blocks directly within the Beaver Builder interface

Field Connections

Connect builder modules to ACF fields for dynamic content

Repeater Fields

Support for ACF repeater and flexible content fields

Options Pages

Pull data from ACF options pages

Enabling ACF Blocks

Access Settings

Navigate to Settings → Page Builder → Advanced

Enable ACF Blocks

Toggle on the ACF Blocks setting:

When enabled, this allows blocks built with ACF to be used in the builder.

Save Settings

Save your changes and ACF blocks will appear in the builder panel

ACF Field Connections

Connect ACF fields to builder modules:

class-fl-builder-module-data-repeater.php

/**
 * Set the data source based on selected settings and ACF availability.
 */

The builder automatically detects ACF field types including:

Text fields
Textarea fields
Number fields
Image fields
Gallery fields
Repeater fields
Flexible content fields
Relationship fields

ACF color picker values are automatically handled, even when they return arrays instead of strings.

SEO Plugins

Beaver Builder works seamlessly with all major SEO plugins.

Yoast SEO

Compatibility Features:

Category pagination fix for removed category prefix
Duplicate post integration with builder layouts
Schema markup compatibility
Content analysis of builder content

class-fl-builder-compatibility.php

public static function fix_wpseo_category_pagination_rule( $rewrite_rules ) {
    // Fixes pagination when category prefix is removed
    $wpseo_rewrite_rules = $GLOBALS['wpseo_rewrite']->category_rewrite_rules();
    $page_base = $wp_rewrite->pagination_base;
    $flpaged_base = 'paged-[0-9]{1,}';
    
    foreach ( $wpseo_rewrite_rules as $regex => $redirect ) {
        if ( strpos( $regex, '/' . $page_base . '/' ) !== false ) {
            $flregex = str_replace( $page_base, $flpaged_base, $regex );
            $flpaged_rules[ $flregex ] = 'index.php?category_name=$matches[1]&flpaged=$matches[2]';
        }
    }
    return array_merge( $flpaged_rules, $rewrite_rules );
}

The builder automatically adds custom pagination rules to work with Yoast’s category rewrite rules.

SEOPress

Compatibility Features:

Category pagination support
Prevents conflicts during template creation
Schema markup compatibility

public static function fix_seopress( $arg ) {
    if ( isset( $_POST['fl-template'] ) ) {

    }
}

All in One SEO (AIOSEO)

Compatibility Features:

Shortcode conflict prevention
Schema markup support
Content analysis compatibility

public static function aioseo_conflicting_shortcodes( $shortcodes ) {
    $shortcodes['Beaver Builder'] = '[fl_builder_insert_layout';

}

AIOSEO won’t try to render builder shortcodes too early, preventing content duplication issues.

        $blocklist[] = 'download';
    }

Custom pagination rules for event archives:

    // Archive pagination
    $tec_archive_rules = $bases->archive . '/paged-[0-9]{1,}/?([0-9]{1,})/?$';
    $flpaged_rules[ $tec_archive_rules ] = 'index.php?post_type=tribe_events&eventDisplay=default&flpaged=$matches[1]';
    
    // Category and tag pagination
    // ...
    
    return array_merge( $flpaged_rules, $rules );
}

Recurring Events

Automatically shows only the first instance of recurring events:

public static function hide_tribe_child_recurring_events( $query ) {
    $hide_child_events = (bool) tribe_get_option( 'hideSubsequentRecurrencesDefault', false );
    if ( $hide_child_events ) {
        $query->set( 'post_parent', 0 );
    }
}

Events Per Page

Respects the “Events per Page” setting from TEC:

public static function use_tribe_events_per_page( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_main_query() && is_post_type_archive( 'tribe_events' ) ) {
        $events_per_page = (int) tribe_get_option( 'postsPerPage', 10 );
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', $events_per_page );
    }
}

Widget Assets

Ensures calendar widget scripts load correctly:

public static function tribe_events_pro_widget_render_fix( $class, $args, $instance ) {
    if ( isset( $args['widget_id'] ) && false !== strpos( $args['widget_id'], 'fl_builder_widget' ) ) {
        if ( class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Mini_Calendar' ) ) {
            Tribe__Events__Pro__Mini_Calendar::instance()->register_assets();
        }
    }
}

The Events Calendar is one of the most deeply integrated third-party plugins, with support for pagination, recurring events, widgets, and custom queries.

Troubleshooting Plugin Conflicts

Identifying Conflicts

If you experience issues with the builder:

Deactivate all plugins except Beaver Builder
Test if the issue persists
Reactivate plugins one by one
Identify which plugin causes the conflict

Safe Mode

Use Safe Mode to bypass potential module conflicts:

?safemode=true

Add this to the URL when editing with the builder.

JavaScript Console

Check for JavaScript errors:

Open browser developer tools (F12)
Go to the Console tab
Look for red error messages
Note which plugin file is causing errors

Reporting Issues

If you find a plugin conflict not listed here:

Document the plugin name and version
Note the specific issue
Check if others have reported it
Contact Beaver Builder support
