WP Grid Builder Beaver Builder Addon is an official extension that integrates the powerful grid system and faceted filtering of WP Grid Builder directly into the Beaver Builder visual editor. Developed by wpWax, this addon eliminates the need to use shortcodes and allows users to build and configure dynamic grids and filtering facets fully visually, with a much smoother and more precise editing experience.
The addon adds two dedicated modules to the Beaver Builder panel: a Grid module and a Facet module. Both render in real time within the editor, allowing designers and developers to see exactly what the final result will look like while working, without having to switch between the editing view and the frontend preview.
One of the great advantages of this integration is its ability to filter multiple Beaver Builder modules simultaneously. The addon supports filtering of the Posts Grid, Posts Slider, and Posts Carousel modules, as well as the WooCommerce module for online stores. Additionally, it is compatible with the PP Content Grid modules from PowerPack and WooPack Product Grid, further expanding customization possibilities.
Performance is also notably improved. Instead of reloading the entire page when applying a filter, the system loads and renders only the filtered items, reducing load times and offering a much more agile and satisfying user experience. This optimization is especially valuable on sites with large volumes of content or extensive product catalogs.
The addon is also compatible with Beaver Themer archive templates, allowing dynamic grid results to be displayed within archive layouts while maintaining filtering functionality. Although it does not support native module pagination, a "Load" facet can be used to paginate and load more content on click or scroll, thus leveraging all the features of WP Grid Builder.
In short, WP Grid Builder Beaver Builder Addon is the ideal solution for those who build sites with Beaver Builder and need advanced grids with high-performance faceted filtering, without sacrificing the convenience of a modern visual editor.
