We at SwiftThemes officially support the SiteOrigins page builder plugin. You can find a tutorial on how to create custom layouts here. Here are we are going to explain how to use the prebuilt layouts you bought from the members area.

When you purchase a prebuilt layout, you get a zipped file with the following content.

• LAYOUT_NAME.json
• design-options.txt
• all-devices.css
• only-desktop.css
• only-tablet.css
• only-mobile.css
• readme.txt

Get ready

First install the page build plugin and activate it. Follow the step 0 on this page

The simple process

1. Create a new page with the page template specified in the readme file.
2. Now click on the page builder tab and click on prebuilt layouts. A modal/popup opens.
3. In the model click on import/export and drag and drop the .json file to import the layout.
4. In the zipped file you got, there will be four css files, namely
   • all-devices.css
   • only-desktop.css
   • only-tablet.css
   • only-mobile.css

Add them to their respective sections in the Custom CSS for this page section. If the box is not visible, check the screen options in the top right.

1. In the Swift CMS options section, 90% of the times you want to Hide post title, Disable ads within post content and Disable all ads on this page.
2. The last option in the Swift CMS options, Prevent WordPress from adding

   and removing
   tags. is strictly according to your needs. If you are seeing unnecessary spacing between your text, you might want to check it.
