Your assistant can find layouts but cannot import them
Direct import requires two connections:
- Brixies MCP provides the layouts.
- Bricks Builder MCP provides access to the destination site.
- Confirm that both sets of MCP tools are available.
- Verify the destination site and page.
- Check the permissions of the WordPress account used by the Bricks connection.
- Ask the assistant to identify the missing tool or reported blocker.
For destination-site setup, follow the official Bricks Builder MCP guide.
If the Brixies tools themselves are unavailable, see Connection problems.
The destination or permissions are incorrect
Before retrying, confirm:
- The connected WordPress site is the intended destination.
- The target page exists and is the page you approved.
- The Bricks MCP connection has permission to perform the requested action.
- You specified whether to append the layouts or replace existing content.
Do not approve an import while the destination or replacement behavior is unclear.
The import timed out or returned an uncertain result
A timeout does not necessarily mean nothing changed. The operation may have partially or fully completed.
- Inspect the destination page and its Structure panel.
- Check which layouts, if any, were added.
- Compare the result with the approved selection.
- Ask the assistant to report what completed and what remains.
- Approve the next action after reviewing that result.
Example prompt
Inspect the destination page from the previous import attempt without making changes. Tell me which approved layouts are present and whether anything is incomplete or duplicated. Do not repeat the import, replace content or delete anything until I approve the next action.
Only part of the selection was imported
Ask the assistant to identify the missing layouts and the error that interrupted the operation.
Before continuing, confirm the insertion point and order for the remaining layouts.
Avoid importing the whole selection again if some sections are already present.
The assistant reports a class conflict
An existing class on the destination site may have the same name as a class used by an imported layout.
Ask the assistant to explain the conflict and propose a resolution before changing the existing class.
Changes to shared classes can affect other parts of the site. Confirm any proposed BEM renaming before continuing.
See BEM class names for guidance.
Custom code does not behave as expected
The Brixies direct-import workflow keeps PHP execution disabled in Code elements. Your assistant does not enable code execution or generate code signatures on your site.
CSS, HTML and JavaScript may still be present and require review.
If the layout depends on PHP, it needs separate review before that functionality can work. Do not ask the assistant to remove required code simply to complete the import.
Moving CSS to a global class failed
Moving CSS to the section’s BEM global class is optional.
If the move cannot be completed reliably, ask to keep the original CSS or review the layout manually. If the previous attempt may have changed the page, inspect the result before retrying.
See Import directly into Bricks for the available custom-code options.
The imported layout looks different
Check:
- The selected framework and ACSS version, where applicable.
- Required framework styles and plugins.
- Existing site styles and shared classes.
- Images, fonts and placeholder content.
- Responsive settings and frontend interactions.
Review both the Bricks editor and the frontend. Identify the affected section and describe the difference before requesting changes.
Keep any correction limited to the approved scope. Changes to shared classes or framework variables may affect other pages.
Still need help?
Include:
- Your assistant and Bricks version.
- The exact error message.
- The selected layouts and framework.
- Whether the import was intended to append or replace content.
- What was created or changed before the failure.
- Whether you kept the original CSS or requested moving it to a global class.
- Screenshots of the affected section, if useful.
