    Hi There,

    I have a couple of posts build in SiteOrigin Pagebuilder.

    Now I want to use some ‘Gutenberg’ blocks. But I cannot change an existing post to the block editor. If I hit the button ‘switch to block editor’ the post start loading, but nothing happens.

    Is this possible? Or are there any SiteOrigin blocks which allow me to use Gutenberg block functionality with Pagebuilder?

    Hi Frank

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Edit the page concerned, click Layouts in Page Builder then Import/Export > Download Layout. Once you have the JSON file on your desktop click Revert to Editor in Page Builder. Once the content reverts to the Text tab you can delete all contents and save the page. If you do not have the Classic Editor plugin installed the page should rever to the Block Editor. If you do have the Classic Editor plugin installed make sure you’ve enabled the setting allowing pages to be optionally opened in Classic or Block mode. You can then insert a SiteOrigin Layout block and import your JSON file in the same way from Layouts > Import/Export > Import Layout within the SiteOrigin Layout block.

    Hi Andrew, thx for the workaround. I also found another one (creating a new post en use an old lout as a template), but it is kind of a hassle..

    If you knew a good plugin for a FAQ widget with structured data it would be the best solution. Do you know one?

    Glad to hear you’re making progress.

    From a display point of view, the SiteOrigin Accordion widget might be an option. Livemesh SiteOrigin Widgets has a FAQ widget but it’s in the premium version https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/livemesh-siteorigin-widgets/. I also checked Shortcodes Ultimate, unfortunately, no mention of a FAQ specific shortcode https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/shortcodes-ultimate/.
