    Hi,
    I noticed that some of my post’s formatting changes and looks bold.
    When I try to edit them, the preview looks normal and when I hit “Save” it goes to the “text editor” with all the codes. This is when I make any changes or not – it still goes to the “text editor” instead of “visual editor”

    Here are some screenshots:
    https://ibb.co/m0TSio
    https://ibb.co/kF23Oo
    https://ibb.co/bHDXG8

    The published content looks bold–>the preview in the text block editor looks the way it should look–>I try to edit and save but it doesn’t let me

    The only way I have been changing things is creating a whole new text block, copying and pasting the exact text from the old text block into the new text block and it has been working. I feel like there should be an easier way to do things or a way to prevent this random formatting from happening.

    This was never a problem before and I think after the latest update it would just do this on its own. Any idea on what is happening and how I can fix this? Also, it doesn’t happen to all of my published posts but it does for the majority of them.

    Any feedback?

    Hey radnerreyes,
    I see that your page is giving the js error: “Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined”
    Try disabling your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
    If this doesn’t help, please include a admin login in the private content area so we can take a closer look.

    Best regards,

    Hi Mike,
    Disabled all plugins but I was still having the same problem.

    Please see private content for login info.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the login, I see that your page has two strong tags right before the content that covers the whole page, yet looking in the layout builder I can not find them.
    I also see that you have a few editor addons such as TinyMCE Advanced which I have seen cause issues in the past, but you said that you tried disabling the plugins. I also see Autoptimize is also serving pages for logged in users, and I was unable to clear the cache of 317mb.

    I did find that I could override the strong tag for the page with this code in your WordPress > Customize > Additional CSS:

    #top.postid-22709 .avia_textblock  p {font-weight: 300 !important; }

    and since I checked 4 other pages that don’t have this issue, perhaps this will help you.
    Please clear your browser cache and check.

    Best regards,

    Hi Mike,

    I think the formatting is fixed on the published content but I am still having trouble editing the Text Block.

    When I go to the Text Block for http://bridgewellgroup.ca/blog/property-disclosure-statement/ and click save in the “Visual” tab (whether I edit something in it or not) it just opens up the “Text” tab and doesn’t allow me to save anything. I have no option but to hit X to get out of the Text Block editor which means I can’t save any edits.

    Here is what I am referring to: https://ibb.co/nvqxjT

    Any idea as to why that is happening? I have also deactivated/deleted TinyMCE Advanced and cleared my cache.

    Hi,
    I tested the post by Enabling the Avia Layout Builder Debugger and checking the parser for layout errors (broken code) but found none, I then copied the post to my localhost which behaved the same way, unable to save & bold text.
    This leads me to believe the elements have a unrecoverable error, however I was able to copy the page elements to a new post, one at a time to rebuild your post. Please see link in Private Content area.
    The post is set to “pending” now so you can review and make any changes to it, I recommend viewing the two side by side to compare, and once your happy delete to old one and publish the new one.
    I hope this is acceptable.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hm – any idea as to what could have caused the error? I’m hoping I don’t trigger it again and have to rebuild the post in the future. It’s strange because it only happens to a select few posts and seem to be random.

    I was able to rebuild it in the same post but had to create new text blocks. I will continue to use this method.

    #991796

    Hi,
    Typically this is caused by unclosed html tags in the page, but in this case I was unable to find any. Do you have any other pages performing like this? I could take a look at them too.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #991800

    That’s strange – I don’t usually edit using HTML tags unless I’m changing the colour or size of some text.

    I did have a handful of them but I fixed them recently. Quickly looked through about 20 posts but couldn’t find any others that were performing the same way. If I find anymore as I do my audit I will post them here for further evaluation.

    Thank you for the support!

    Hi,
    Glad we could help, we will leave this open should you find the same error again in your audit.

    Hi Mike,

    I found other pages with the error:

    bridgewellgroup.ca/blog/selling-and-buying-a-house/
    bridgewellgroup.ca/blog/best-bathroom-remodels-for-resale/
    bridgewellgroup.ca/blog/bully-offer/
    bridgewellgroup.ca/blog/vancouver-house-prices-stand-rest-north-america/

    There are a lot more but maybe this is enough to diagnose.

    If you could take a look at it – maybe you can find a problem that has been causing it? Right now it seems random which is frustrating knowing that there is no way to prevent it. I edited some of these posts 3 weeks ago to what I want it as with no errors, didn’t touch them, and then I just noticed that the error showed up after doing an audit today.

    Let me know if you need anything.

    Hi,
    Typically errors like this can be caused by un-closed html tags, such as a missing “strong” tag in a title, do you recall adding any html in a title field or widget? Since it’s happening on several pages I looked at your menu items and top bar where your phone number is, but I saw none there.
    (sorry, I just looked back and see we have talked about this point before, but it’s still worth another look)

    Then I looked at your widgets and found that they look and act very different due to a plugin. I recommend deactivating all of your plugins as a test, if that solves try reactivating each again, one at a time to find the conflict.
    I know you tried deactivating your plugins before, but your widget plugin makes quite a change in how your widgets work, I would test this again.
    If deactivating the plugins doesn’t help, then try checking each widget by copying them to your desktop and deleting them to see if that solves.

    If you can think of any other code you have added or modifications made to any theme files, please let us know.
    One last thing to consider, is I see you are using PHP version 7.2.8, and I recall some people had issues with one of the 7.2.x series, where the solution was to roll back to 7.0.x, but I couldn’t find the exact information right now when I searched.
    If none of the other steps helped, I would try rolling back, just to rule it out. It should be a easy one button thing to change in your webhost cPanel.
    If you don’t know how to change this, ask your webhost to assist.

    One other thing, how did you last update the theme? If you updated via FTP, then you should have deleted your theme files before uploading the new ones. Trying to overwrite your theme files will cause errors because that will leave some old files that are no longer used. We have been changing the theme structure and files for performance the last few updates.

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    I actually don’t know how to edit title tags I don’t think an issue would come from that area. Would you be able to catch it if you “view source”? I’m not too familiar with HTML. I’m not sure how I would edit it in a widget either so I probably didn’t do that.

    I disabled all of the plugins and I am still seeing the error there but maybe a plugin triggered the error and it was left there even after deactivating? If that is the case, I don’t think I will be able to track the source – the error happened between 3 weeks of not even going into the editor of the selected posts. Would you know of a way to see if this is the case?

    I also, deleted the columns and the error is still there.

    I haven’t added anything to the theme file. I haven’t accessed my cPanel.

    What I have done was change the colour code for the header fonts in my posts. But I have followed the same steps for every post and this error doesn’t happen to all posts so I don’t think that would be the issue.

    Ok I’ll try and ask my web host to roll back to the previous version.

    I actually just rebought this theme a month or 2 ago. I don’t think I deleted the old theme files. If I did update it I just did it through WordPress. Should I just delete the theme files and try reinstalling it? Would I lose any of my posts or work? If that is the case, do you have instructions I can follow to delete the files and reinstall the theme?

    #997812

    Hi,
    If you updated though WordPress then this would not be the issue, so no need to delete the theme files.
    I will take another look at the posts and see if I can find the error, if not I will ask the rest of the team to also take a look too.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #997924

    Hi,
    I took another look at the posts and couldn’t find any open tags, but I did find a missing } in your Quick CSS
    I then cleared your autoptimize cache and your posts seem correct now.
    Please clear your browser cache and check.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #998331

    Hi Mike,

    That’s crazy how you just found a } missing. The text/formatting definitely looks like it’s supposed to now!

    I am still having an issue with saving though. When I try and edit a Text Block on that page and hit “Save” it just switches to the “Text” tab. From there, clicking “Save” again doesn’t do anything.

    What could cause this problem?

    #998609

    Hi,
    I Enabled the Avia Layout Builder Debugger and went to the pages in the Private Content area, and tried the edit a text block element and then tried to save, which did the error you spoke of.
    I then searched for open “strong” tags and found two of them, one in the h1 title, and the other in the h2 sub-title.
    I then added the missing closing tags to them and saved, and now the page works and saves correctly.
    Please clear your browser cache and check, and if you find any other pages with this error, please let us know.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #998613

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks they seem to be working properly now! Thank you.

    I thought we looked for open tags before and couldn’t find any so I ruled that option out.

    I’ll see if I can find another page like the examples and look for the open tags. I’m worried I have them in my layout templates. Or maybe something triggers something to open the tags…

    #998641

    Hi,
    Yes I did look for open tags a while back and didn’t see them, and I too had thought we could rule it out, but the errors kept pointing in that direction so I looked again with the help of some software, which found them.
    I would say that the errors could be in your template because the errors were in the same place on every page, so if you test your pages and make a list of them I will help correct it.
    I don’t believe that there is anything causing them now.
    Sorry this took so long to find.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    #998649

    Hi Mike,

    I think I will just take the pages you fixed and make that my new template and just correct everything.

    I still think something else could have triggered it though because when I edited them 3 weeks ago they were exactly how I wanted it. But within the 3 weeks something happened and changed the formatting and caused that save error. If it were a plugin it would be difficult to diagnose because when I was satisfied with the page all plugins were activated… Could there be something that is changing the strong tag codes without me knowing? Maybe a plugin? Widget? CSS code? Something I can find in my cPanel?

    #998660

    Hi,
    Well it is possible for a plugin to have a conflict and change a page or a tag, but as you pointed out it would be hard to pin point it. But you could use a page monitoring service to watch your pages and notify you of changes. There are many companies that offer this and most have free plans or low cost plans, this would save you a lot of time and give you some peace of mind.
    If you want to try this, look for one that checks the “source code” of the page, such as Change Tower here are a few others:

    Hi Mike,

    Thank you for the support. I’ll look into those programs.. Hopefully I don’t run into the problem again in the future but if I do hopefully I can also track how it occurred. It’s good to know it was just the open tags which is considerably easy to fix.

    #1000077
