f(x) Builder

No bells and whistles, just a plain and simple page builder, with a FULL editor at our disposal. Perfect for those who create their own themes or shortcodes or use some quality shortcodes plugins. 

What's really amazing is that it add 0 (ZERO) strain on the server - the page loads are exactly the same with this page builder active or not. If you are using a shared hosting, and especially if you are using a "heavy" plugin like Woocommerce, and if you want to have a page builder without effecting the speed of the site, then besides a good theme and agood cache plugin, this is the page builder to use.

I cannot specify how excited I'm with this, I hope they don't add too many things to it. There are a million other page builders that have plenty of features, at the expense of speed and memory (RAM). We needed at least one that is extremely lightweight, and this is it. Besides, there is no way any builder plugin can compete with Visual composer, so dominating a different niche is very clever. 

If anything that needs to be added, the ability to have full width content when the theme is fixed width, ala Visual Composer, or SiteOrigin. The Divi builder plugin and the Beaver builder plugin fail miserably with this. 

EXACTLY What I was craving for!!!

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot. Works great.

This is awesome!

A simple page builder plugin. The one you can actually use.

<p><strong>Get involved into building the BuddyPress’ next way of parsing URLs!</strong></p>
<p>BP Rewrites is a BuddyPress feature as a plugin which end goal is to be merged with BuddyPress Core. It’s being developed and maintained by the official BuddyPress development team. As migrating the BP Legacy URL parser to using the WP Rewrites API is potentially a breaking change for some BuddyPress plugins and themes, the BuddyPress team needs the BuddyPress users, contributors & developers to massively test this feature before safely including it into BuddyPress Core.</p>
<p>Please help us meeting this challenge by testing the BP Rewrites plugin with your specific configurations (Plugins, theme, bp-custom.php file, constants).</p>
<h4>Benefits about using the WP Rewrite API</h4>
<ul>
<li>All BuddyPress generated URLs are customizable.</li>
<li>BuddyPress is fully compatible with plain URL permalinks.</li>
<li>Parsing BuddyPress URLs is faster, more reliable, extensible, testable and fully compliant with WordPress best practices.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>PS: combined with BuddyPress 11.0, the BP Rewrites plugin is also adding a new BuddyPress Settings option to restrict the BuddyPress generated pages (aka the community area of your site) to your members only.</strong></p>
<h4>How BP Rewrites changes BuddyPress’ behavior?</h4>
<p>Once activated, The plugin is editing the post type of the existing BuddyPress pages in favor of the <code>buddypress</code> post type. That’s why you don’t see the BuddyPress pages anymore (as long as the BP Rewrites plugin is active) into the corresponding WordPress Administation edit screen. The BuddyPress Pages settings screen is replaced by a BuddyPress URLs settings screen (see the screenshot below). This new screen is where you can define custom slugs which will be saved as a post meta of the corresponding <code>buddypress</code> post type item. Then the BP Rewrites plugin is taking benefit from BuddyPress hooks/APIs to change BP Core’s behavior.</p>
<p>If you notice one of your BuddyPress plugins or your theme are not behaving the way they should, please temporarly define the <code>WP_DEBUG</code> constant to <code>true</code> into the <code>wp-config.php</code> file of your website. You should see some warning notices confirming there’s an issue involving changes introduced by the BP Rewrites add-on. You can tell us about it using this plugin’s support forum or best submitting an issue into the <a href="https://github.com/buddypress/bp-rewrites" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a> of the plugin.</p>
<h4>How to get regular BuddyPress’ behavior back?</h4>
<p>Simply deactivate BP Rewrites. When you deactivate the plugin, the <code>buddypress</code> post type’s items are switched back to regular pages and you get them back into the corresponding WordPress Administation edit screen. Post metas are still there in case you want to activate BP Rewrites again (this can happen when you’re testing another BuddyPress plugin). If you absolutely want to get rid of these post metas, you can delete the BuddyPress pages, create new ones and redo the page mapping from the BuddyPress Pages settings screen.</p>

Migrating the BuddyPress legacy URL Parser to using the WP Rewrite API is a very important change. Please help us achieve it.
