If You’re Using Beaver Builder Lite, You Need the Beaver Builder Addons By WPZOOM

Hey there, I’m Ben, and I’m a guest author here at WPZOOM. Today I thought I’d share with you my experience of one of their rather awesome plugins, in my opinion one of the best Beaver Builder Addons.

I know the team at WPZOOM are big fans of Beaver Builder, why not? It’s a great page builder with an excellent feature set; chances are if you’re using it, you’ll more than likely agree with me. How do I know WPZOOM are big fans of Beaver Builder?

Well, aside from the team chat on Slack, extolling Beaver Builders virtues, there’s a rather nifty plugin built by them. Guess what? It’s free.

Interested? I thought so.

Beaver Builder Addons By WPZOOM

I’ve had a good old fashioned play around with the Beaver Builder Addons, and I have to say it’s well worth adding to your install of Beaver Builder Lite, it’s packed with useful modules. I think you’re going to love it.

So what addons are available?

Glad you asked, there’s plenty on offer, let’s take a quick look through each one.

Slideshow module

I had a good play around with this, and the output looks fantastic. You can go for custom slides, upload an image, give it a description and a link etc., or you can use WordPress posts. Yes, WordPress posts.

Using the same filter system as the posts module, you can narrow down your post criteria, hide specific blog posts, and more besides.

• Choose a post limit (how many to display in the slider).
• Hide or show the excerpt, show, or hide the read more button.
• Add a background color for your slide, an overlay, change the title color, content color, and button color.
• Filter through posts you’d like to display with criteria you define, even exclude the current blog post (if you’re using it in post content).

This is relatively a new module in the plugin, and it was created specifically for the travel theme Derive. You can see the Slideshow module in action on Derive theme demo.

Another great feature in this module is the height options, which can easily allow you to create a fullscreen slideshow on any page:

WooCommerce module

If you’re running an online store and would like to add products to posts or pages or display specific products, this module has you covered.

The Button module

There’s already a button in Beaver Builder, and this one is different. With more options available! The video lightbox function is fantastic, and a great way to show off a video at the click of a button.

• Video lightbox support, load a Youtube/Video, or a self-hosted video on click.

Image box

Another great module by the WPZOOM team, this one lets you add an image a title, subheading, a description, and a call to action in one hit.

Spacer gaps and simple separators

Those are the last two modules available in the Beaver Builder Addons, not the name of a European dance band.

The spacer module lets you add some spacing between a section or image or wherever you need to make some space. The simple separators module lets you add a line, choose from solid, dashed, dotted, and double. You can alter the thickness and color you desire as well.

Do you need the premium version of Beaver Builder to run the addons?

Short answer no. The free version will suffice. If you’d like to get more out of Beaver Builder, the team always recommend you upgrade to the premium version, and it’s an excellent plugin and worth the investment.

If you’re using the Beaver Builder Lite version, WPZOOM’s plugin is more worth its weight in gold. The addon works very well with WPZOOM’s range of sleek WordPress themes.

Whether it’s adding testimonials to a post, clients you’ve worked with to a page or using your fantastic imagery in a slider. Hell, even adding WooCommerce products to a blog post or page, the Beaver Builder Addons plugin is a perfect fit for your needs.

Plus, it’s free.
