Yes, I’ve seen this before – the page builder uses its own content structure (layout, components, etc.) so this plugin doesn’t have a way to display them as normal posts.
I’ll see if they provide any method of displaying pages built by their plugin. I’ll let you know what I find out.
Thanks, Eliot, for the prompt reply.
I look forward to your investigation.
In the latest plugin update, I added a parameter that will apply the filter necessary for Page Builder to display the content. For example:
[content type="page" name="about-us" filter="true"]
..or..
[loop type="special"]
[field title]
[content filter="true"]
[/loop]
Thanks Eliot for the quick fix. I’ve tested it a bit and, unfortunately, do not see any significant changes:
[content type=”page” id=”194″ filter=”true”] shows plain page content and ignore Page Builder markup and content.
Thus, as far as I see, two copies of page content can co-exist at the same time: (1) entered in the origin page editor, (2) entered in Page Builder.
The shortcode always shows the first copy. And … filter=”true” … doesn’t change its behavior.
OK, I’ll test it some more and see what could be happening. I read their documentation, but couldn’t find much information on displaying their content format.

I just went through this for Strong Testimonials. Page Builder stores its data in a panels_data post meta field.
It also short-circuits (unknowingly, I hope) the_content filter at priority 10; meaning you can only filter the content after Page Builder renders it. Not sure if that affects you but I thought it worthy of mention.
Hello, I’m sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Thanks, Chris, for helping out!
I looked through the code of Page Builder, and found where it filters the post content. There’s a check if content filter is enabled – so, in the latest update, when [content filter="true"] is used, I added a way to ensure that the check passes.
In my case, filtering by Page Builder was already working, so I’m not sure if this makes a difference. Please let me know if it works.
Hi Eliot, first i would to thank you for your fantastic plugin, really a must!
To me, this point isn’t working at all, i hade defined a custom post type with siteorigin page builder enable inside it that render well the full html boxed, but when i try to render the content in the sidebar i only get the text content as showed in http://tinypic.com/r/f3suoh/9
I had used [content type=cblock id=542 filter=true]
Please, could you take another look with this question?
Hello,
Yes.. Several people have reported compatibility issues with Visual Composer and other page builders. They work by hooking into the content filter, and apparently don’t play so well with this plugin. I haven’t found a good solution yet, but will keep trying. When there is progress in better compatibility, I’ll put a note in the plugin documentation overview to let people know.
