Add BoldGrid to other TinyMCE intances

Hello Rob-

Currently, the Post and Page Builder is limited to posts, pages, and CPT’s (Custom Post Types) that extend WordPress posts and pages. 

One potential workaround would be to create the content inside of a post or page, switch over to the text editor and copy the HTML code, and then paste it into your TinyMCE-based editor. 

May I ask what type of content you’re editing in other TinyMCE interfaces? If this functionality could benefit a large number of users, we might want to submit a feature request for our development team to review.

Hello Rob-

Thanks for the reply! Using the Post and Page Builder to build emails is something that I do not recommend.

HTML for email is very different than modern HTML for web design. Check out this article from MailChimp that puts it really well:

You [should be] comfortable coding in and using HTML tables for structure, and working in coding standards that were state-of-the-art in 1999. Feel free to crank up a little TLC or Goo Goo Dolls to get into the spirit of things.

Email support for HTML is very rudimentary. Whereas your website can use things like Stylesheets and JavaScript to make the site look very modern and clean, HTML emails still rely on inline styles, and even using tables for grid-based design. Companies like MailChimp, Constant Contact, and MailPoet have put years of work into making attractive email templates, and that’s something we really can’t compete with at this time.

So, that being said, I have to reiterate that using HTML from the Post and Page Builder to paste into your email templates is probably not going to work well, if at all. The code in the Post and Page Builder depends on having your website there to provide CSS and the JavaScript libraries needed to look the way it does, most notably the Bootstrap libraries, which will not work in an email.
