This is to make sure that you guys are taking advantage of the latest innovation that the Sandwich Team can develop plus notify the plugin developers that their creation gave birth to another awesome feature.

En el caso del plugin The Events Calendar, se nos ocurrieron 2 razones alucinantes de por qué esta combinación debe existir:

1.      Revisado por la realeza de los plugins de WordPress

The Modern Tribe assured their customers that the product and service they offered was of quality. Creator of Easy Digital Downloads, Pippin Williamson gave his inputs about The Events Calendar. Alongside him was Mark Jaquith, one of the leading WordPress developers, who made sure that the plugin was secure.

Page Builder Sandwich was also reviewed recently by Pippin, together with the other established and rising page builders in the market. In his in-depth critique, he concluded that indeed, PBS is one of the most powerful drag-and-drop page builders. He highlighted that only  Page Builder Sandwich was able to create a functioning Shortcode Mapper.

2.      Opciones de shortcode: de la edición en el backend al frontend

De forma predeterminada, se puede acceder a las opciones de shortcode del plugin a través del panel de administración del backend. Después, tiene lugar el mismo proceso que con los plugins de backend: ir al editor del backend, introducir los cambios deseados y luego guardar. Solo al hacer clic en el botón de actualizar se podrá ver el contenido editado. En total, son 4 pasos.

Pero ese largo procedimiento se ha transformado en una edición en el frontend en tiempo real gracias a Page Builder Sandwich, en solo 2 pasos:

  1. Instead of going to the backend panel to access the shortcode options, click on the Shortcode Mapper and select on The Events Calendar. You’d be redirected to a pop-up window as seen below. Click on The Events Calendar.
