How to use the standard page template with a custom layout in Theme Blvd WordPress Framework.

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * HOW TO USE STANDARD PAGE TEMPLATE WITH LAYOUT BUILDER
 *
 * 1. Copy page.php to your child theme and rename
 * it "template_builder.php".
 *
 * 2. Copy the commented code snippet from the top of
 * parent theme template_builder.php in place of the
 * comment snippet in your new child theme template_builder.php.
 *
 * 3. Replace the while() loop in your new child theme
 * template_builder.php file with the custom layout
 * action hook:
 *
 * <?php do_action( 'themeblvd_builder_content', 'main' ); ?>
 *
 * 4. Implement the code snippets below to your child
 * theme's functions.php.
 *
 * WARNING: This will cause several features to not
 * work properly in the layout builder. But if you're
 * just looking for a simple way to put builder content
 * into standard page template, this will do the trick;
 * just be aware this limits some features.
