Pilo'Press

The most advanced WordPress Page Builder using Advanced Custom Fields & TailwindCSS.

Pilo'Press is a framework plugin for WordPress. Based on ACF and ACF Extended, it allows you to create layouts among other things and use the Flexible Content field as a page builder.

Pilo'Press uses TailwindCSS for style templating by default which you can configure and build directly from the back-office. (Please note that TailwindCSS is not mandatory, you can choose to use it or not)

All features are describe in details (with screens & videos), in our Website. You can discuss with us on the Pilo'Press slack community.

Table of Contents

Requirements

This plugin requires Advanced Custom Fields PRO and Advanced Custom Fields: Extended plugins in order to work correctly.

Plugin installation

  • Activate Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin.
  • Activate ACF Extended plugin.
  • Activate Pilo'Press plugin.

Theme installation

After plugin activation, you will have 1 parent folder with 2 sub-folders in your theme : pilopress/layouts and pilopress/assets In the index.php file, add the following code:

<?php

// Header
get_header();

// Pilo'Press: Content
the_pip_content();

// Footer
get_footer();

TailwindCSS

In the administration, under Pilo'Press > Styles, when you click on "Update & Compile", TailwindCSS will be compiled remotely using a remote TailwindCSS API. Minified CSS files are then created under /pilopress/assets/styles.min.css and /pilopress/assets/styles-admin.min.css.

Those files are automatically enqueued but there are filters to disable this auto-enqueue if you want to.

It is possible to manually retrieve the Tailwind PostCSS & JS fields of the administration if you want to build TailwindCSS locally. To do so, you can use the following code:

$tailwind_css    = pip_get_tailwind_css();
$tailwind_config = pip_get_tailwind_config();

For more details, see Tailwind CSS Documentation.

Customizing TailwindCSS

To customize default Tailwind CSS styles, go to Pilo'Press > Styles from left navigation menu or top bar menu.

For more details about customization, see our Documentation.

Add new layout

  • In the admin menu Pilo'Press > Layouts, add a new layout
  • Configure the layouts fields
  • Layout folder (/your-theme/pilopress/layouts/your-layout) and empty PHP file will be created automatically
  • Create CSS and JS files in your layout folder if you need it
  • You have to name those files the same way you did in back-office settings

Note: only PHP template file is require.

Templating

To display the content of your post, you have to use the following function:

// Pilo'Press content (doesn't need 'echo')
the_pip_content();

// Pilo'Press content (needs 'echo')
echo get_pip_content();

You can specify a post, page or custom post type item ID to display content of this item.

Components

See Components documentation for complete example.
