Shortcode syntax

The Beaver Builder shortcode is really easy to use to add content to your layouts. This reference shows the syntax of the shortcode, including examples with attributes.

Using a slug​

The following is an example of a shortcode with an Slug:

[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="my-saved-row-slug"]

Using a slug & type​

If you have more than one post type with the same slug, you can specify the type attribute to show only the saved content, as in this example:

[fl_builder_insert_layout slug="my-saved-row-slug" type="fl-builder-template"]

Using an ID​

The following is an example of a shortcode with an ID:

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="123"]
tip

See the Find ID or Slug article for tips on how to identify the ID or slug.

Using multiple ID's​

Enter a comma-separated list of IDs to insert multiple layouts.

caution

Shortcodes used too frequently on the same page or post may affect performance. For more information, see our Performance article. 

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="123,456,789"]

WordPress Multisite support​

In WordPress Multisite installations, you can specify the site attribute to enter the ID of a subsite to pull saved content from one subsite to another.

info

The site attribute is only available in Pro and Agency versions of Beaver Builder.

[fl_builder_insert_layout id="123" site="5"]
