I’m having trouble with my WordPress site using Bricks Builder. I copied an existing template and made some changes to it. I added a circular button with custom CSS styling that I want to show on certain pages.
When I look at the preview, everything looks perfect and the button displays correctly. However, when I try to apply this modified template to actual pages on my site, the changes don’t show up at all. I’ve already tried clearing all caches but that didn’t help.
I’m confused about why this is happening. Shouldn’t switching to a different template automatically display the new elements? Am I missing some configuration step or setting that needs to be updated?
Any suggestions would be really helpful!
This sounds like a template assignment issue rather than a caching problem. When you copy and modify a template in Bricks Builder, the changes only exist within that specific template. You need to actually assign the modified template to your pages for the changes to appear. Go to your WordPress dashboard and check the page settings for each page where you want the button to show up. Make sure you’ve selected your modified template from the template dropdown. Sometimes people assume that changing a template will automatically update all pages using the original template, but that’s not how it works. Also double-check that your custom CSS is properly saved within the template itself and not just in the preview mode. I’ve run into situations where CSS changes didn’t stick because I forgot to publish the template after making modifications.
sounds like a template conditions problem to me. when you copied the template did you update the display conditions? sometimes the new template inherits the same conditions as the original which can cause conflicts. check Templates > your modified template > settings and make sure the display rules are set correctly for where you want it to show. also verify you actually published the template after making changes - i’ve forgotten to hit publish before and wondered why nothing changed lol
Check if you’re editing the right template version. Bricks Builder sometimes creates multiple versions when you copy templates, and you might be modifying one while your pages are still assigned to the original. Navigate to Templates in your dashboard and verify which template your pages are actually using versus which one you modified. Another common issue is template hierarchy conflicts - if you have multiple templates that could apply to the same page type, Bricks follows a specific hierarchy that might override your custom template. I had a similar problem where my custom page template wasn’t showing because a more specific template was taking precedence. Also ensure your template conditions are set correctly in the template settings, as incorrect conditions can prevent the template from displaying even when assigned properly.
