Beaver Tunnels Addon is a developer-focused WordPress extension that allows you to conditionally inject Beaver Builder layouts into specific action hooks within themes and plugins. It enables design elements to exist outside of the traditional content area. Users can place templates in headers, footers, or custom hook locations without writing PHP.
WPExclusive members get access to Beaver Tunnels as part of a full plugin and theme library — plans from $9.99/month. See the full Beaver Builder collection →
What Is Beaver Tunnels Addon?
Beaver Tunnels Addon is developed by Beaver Builder and is a builder plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the builder category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for professional site construction.
The plugin solves the limitation of page builders being restricted to the post or page content container. It is designed for developers who need to map custom layouts to specific theme locations like “before header” or “after single post content” using logic-based rules.
Beaver Tunnels Addon Features
The core feature set is built around site-wide template injection and conditional visibility.
Action Hook Mapping
Beaver Tunnels uses the internal action hooks of popular software to place your designs. It supports major frameworks like Genesis and GeneratePress, letting you select a hook from a dropdown menu. This creates a bridge between your saved templates and the underlying theme structure in the builder environment.
Conditional Logic Engine
The plugin includes a robust selection of display rules. You can choose to show a specific tunnel only on certain post types, categories, or individual pages. This level of control ensures that custom headers or call-to-action sections appear exactly where they are relevant to the visitor.
Third-Party Plugin Support
Beyond themes, the plugin integrates with WooCommerce, Easy Digital Downloads, and Giving. This allows for the injection of custom builder layouts into e-commerce product pages or donation forms. It essentially turns every hookable area of these plugins into a canvas for your Beaver Builder templates.

E-commerce Promotion Areas
Automatically inject promotional banners or “Recently Viewed” sections into WooCommerce product pages using specific product hooks. This allows for dynamic marketing content that changes based on the category of the product being viewed.
