Installing & Activating Frames

To use Frames, you need to install the Frames WordPress plugin. You also need to have Automatic.css installed and activated. Follow the steps below to get setup:

  1. Download the frames plugin from your account.
  2. Make sure you have ACSS 2.1 installed (minimum).
  3. Navigate to Bricks > Settings > SVG Uploads and turn on SVG uploads for administrators (and any other user level that may use Frames).
  4. Install and activate the Frames plugin on your website.
  5. Go to Automatic CSS > Frames License and activate your license key (Use the non-bundle key – usually the bottom one. The other one is for potential future functionality and can be ignored for now).
  6. Go to Bricks > Settings > Templates > Remote Templates and paste the following URL in the remote template URL field: https://bricks.getframes.io
  7. Paste your license key in the Remote Templates Password field, then save Bricks settings
  8. Make sure Frames support is turned on in the ACSS dashboard. It’s recommended to turn on all components in the Frames dashboard as well.
  9. Make sure “smart spacing” in the ACSS dashboard is turned on, as Frames are designed with this setting enabled.
  10. Open a page or template in Bricks and check that you can access the Remote templates.

Frames is now set up and ready to go!
