Bricks Builder Dynamic Content Mastery: Data, Loops, Filters & APIs (2026)
This course covers Bricks Builder's entire Dynamic Content system, dynamic data, query loops, global queries, live filters, and pulling data from outside WordPress, taught in the order that actually makes sense to learn it.
What you'll learn
If you've built a few static pages in Bricks, you already know the feeling.
Great design, but every new blog post, every new listing, every new product means going back into the builder and doing it all over again by hand.
That's the problem Dynamic Content solves.
This course covers Brick's entire Dynamic Content system: the same set of features grouped together in Brick's own documentation, taught in the order that actually makes sense to learn them.
You'll start with Dynamic Data, the tags that pull real information (post titles, featured images, custom fields, author details) straight from your database into any element.
Then you'll learn the Query Loop, the feature that turns Dynamic Data into actual repeating layouts. Blog grids. Team directories. Product listings. Build the design once, and Bricks fills it in from your content automatically.
From there, you'll learn Global Queries, so you can build a query once and reuse it anywhere on the site, and update every instance from a single place.
Then you'll add Query Filters and Live Search, giving visitors checkboxes, dropdowns, and search bars that instantly narrow down what they're looking at.
And finally, you'll go beyond WordPress entirely with API queries: pulling data from an external system, a job board, an inventory feed, or another company's database, and rendering it within a fully designed Bricks layout.
That last part is genuinely more advanced. We'll flag it clearly when we get there, and you'll already have everything you need from the earlier modules to follow along, even if you've never touched an API before.
By the end, you'll know what Dynamic Content means. You'll have built a real, filterable, fully dynamic section of a site from scratch, using content that updates itself instead of needing you every time.
New here? A few quick terms
Dynamic data: Real content (like a title or image) pulled automatically from your database instead of typed in by hand.
Custom field: An extra piece of content you define yourself (like "price" or "location") beyond WordPress's built-in fields.
Query loop: A repeater that takes a single design and fills it in once for each matching piece of content.
API: A way for two different systems (like your site and an external database) to exchange data.
Live search/filter: A search box or checkbox that instantly narrows a list without reloading the page.
