iThemes Builder Layouts Tutorial: Selecting a Layout based on Listing Type

iThemes Builder has a filter that lets you select a layout by post type or taxonomy when using custom post types and custom taxonomies. Works like the Views tab in builder but requires code to enable it.

Selecting a builder layout based on Taxonomy Type

My Themes > Layouts and Views

Add View

New View

NOTE: If you select Post Type - Properties then when viewing any single property listing it will use this layout.

Selecting a builder layout for archive page based on post type name

In order to override the layout for a custom post type like property page i.e. /property/ it must be added via this code to your theme functions file.

// iThemes Builder Layout Override
function rec_builder_layout_post_types( $layout_id ) {
		if ( is_post_type_archive( 'property' ) )    
		return '53635180dce12'; // Layout ID

		if ( is_post_type_archive( 'location_profile' ) )    
		return '5344d1e950788';  // Layout ID
    return $layout_id;
	}
add_filter( 'builder_filter_current_layout', 'rec_builder_layout_post_types' );

Overriding based on a a specific taxonomy

This can be achieved but not recommended as it is more complex using get_the_terms function.

You are better off using a page with a shortcode where you can select the builder layout from the page editor or by forcing all features to use the internet specials layout as shown above.
