Launch the Lime Editor editor

This article contains both video and written instructions for accessing the Lime Editor editor from both the WordPress standard and classic editor UI and from other locations in the WordPress admin panel or admin bar.

info

By default, the Lime Editor editor is enabled for page layouts only. You can enable posts and custom post types in the Lime Editor settings.

1. From the WordPress editing page (block or classic)

1.1 From the WordPress Block Editor

When you create a page or open an existing page in the WordPress block editor, you'll see the choice of Launch Lime Editor or Use Standard Editor, as shown in the following screenshot.

1.2 In the Classic Editor UI

Create a new page and click the Lime Editor tab or open an existing page for editing in WordPress and click Launch Lime Editor on the Lime Editor tab, as in the following screenshot.

info

If you're using the Classic Editor plugin and don't see the Lime Editor tab, one way to make it appear is to force the use of Classic editor rather than the WordPress block editor. On the WordPress admin panel, go to Settings > Writing and select No for Allow users to switch editors. If you want users to continue to have a choice of WordPress editor for each page or post they create, use any of the other methods described here to open the Lime Editor editor.

2 From the All Pages list

Mouse over a page in the Pages > All Pages list, then click the Lime Editor link.

Tip

When a Lime Editor layout already exists for a page, the Beaver Builder link is followed by a green button, as you can see in the screenshot. When a Lime Editor layout hasn't been created yet, it's followed by a pale gray or white button.

3 From the WordPress admin bar

If you're viewing a page and you're logged in, the WordPress admin bar appears on a large screen, and you can click the Lime Editor link to edit the page.

When a Lime Editor layout already exists for the page, the Lime Editor link is followed by a green button, as you can see in the screenshot. When a Lime Editor layout hasn't been created yet, it's followed by a pale gray button.

Tip

After the page is open for editing in Lime Editor, you can watch a video with tips on how to create a layout. Click the down arrow in the title bar in the upper left corner of the editing page to expose the Tools menu. Choose Help and then start the video that's displayed.
