What triggers can I use to load admin-only/frontpage-only CSS styling?

Hey.

I have a use case where I need to treat a component differently on the live page and in the Builder (on the front I want to hide it; in the Builder I want to see it marked as red).

As far as I can tell, your Builder loads the frontpage content, so I have no way to actually differentiate between admin-area and frontpage-area.

What triggers/actions can I use to load one or the other? A lot of your styles don't seem to want to be overridden, so I'm kinda forced to use !important everywhere, and thus need to actually pick the files I'm loading...

  • Hi,

    I am sorry, but I do not quite understand what your goal is.

    Would you be so kind as to explain that in more detail, please?

    It would also help if you attach screenshots showing what you refer to and a link to your website.


    Best regards

  • The website is currently not public, and I don't hand out access to websites.

    I'm trying to have separate .CSS files - one for the frontend (i.e. the website), and one for the admin area (i.e. the builder).

    It looks like your admin-side builder is actually loading the content as if it were the frontend, complete w/ front-side CSS. Therefore, I cannot differentiate between the two.

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding here, so I'd like to know which WP events I should use to trigger loading either/or. is_admin() doesn't seem to work.

  • We do not have such a solution in our theme.

    If your website is still in production, we recommend enabling Under Construction in Theme options.

    Best regards

  • This is not about enabling "under construction". I want to be able to apply different CSS depending on whether I'm in the editor, or viewing the live website.

  • I have old content which I have 'hidden' on the website. I would still like to see it in the editor, but when the editor loads - the front-side CSS loads and hides it. That's the issue. :/ I was not expecting front-side CSS to load in the admin panel. There's a reason is_admin() exists.

  • The only option to have content visible in the BeBuilder but not in the live page is available in the section options, and you can hide an entire section:

    Best regards
