  • Activate – Click Activate next to Beaver Themer to enable the plugin. Clicking Activate next to the Beaver Builder Theme or Beaver Builder Child Theme redirects you to WordPress Admin Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, where you can activate the selected theme.

Release channel​

Select the update channel used for installed Beaver Builder products. The Stable channel is recommended for most users and production websites. Early access channels, including Alpha and Beta, are intended for testing only and should not be used on production websites.

  • Stable: Delivers production-ready releases only. Use this channel for live sites.
  • Beta: Delivers early access builds with upcoming features that are feature-complete but may contain minor issues.
  • Alpha: Delivers bleeding-edge builds that may be unstable. Use only for testing and development environments.
info

Enabling prerelease updates applies to all Beaver Builder products that you have installed. If you want updates to apply to only one product, follow the instructions on the Alpha & Beta releases article.

danger

There is no support provided for alpha or beta releases and it is strongly discouraged to use them in production environments. There is a high risk of bugs and features can be changed or removed based on testing and feedback.
