Adding color section to a page with grig rows breaks layout

Hey thanks for the quick reply, I’ve added a temporary login (details in private section) but there is nothing to see as I obviously didn’t keep the messed up pages, I had to create the same layout as a new or cloned page for it to work.

Please see new attached explaination image: http://fullrotation.com/img/page_breaking.jpg

Basically,
1) If I edit the page, simply add a color section , and move the elements in, the whole layout breaks, as in the top image
2) … If I clone the original page (I use a clone page plugin) or simply create on a new page, then make my layout it works absolutely fine !? see the bottom image of exactly the same layout but working fine.

I just don’t understand why this is happening, is it a bug?
Many thanks again

Apologies Rikard, I used my email as it required one, but as it was already used it didn’t save the new user.
I’ve set up a new user and used a different email address, new login details in the private content below, sorry about that again.

HI Rikard, ever since I switched to a child theme the auto update never works, I used to get warnings that an update is available but not anymore, so just have to keep checking themeforest now and again. Its frustrating I don’t know why auto updating from in wordpress has stopped working for me ? anyway I’ve updated to the latest manually and its still the same problem.

You asked which pages it happens on, it happens on ALL pages. Its the porfolio pages I’m trying to update, so motion design, character animation pages etc, they all have the same issue. If I try and update the page it breaks, If I clone the page or create a new one then create the same required layout it works absolutely fine?

Many thanks

Hey apologies for the late reply. Thanks for the plugin I will try it out.
re: the breaking pages, I’ll try and explain more. ok I want to simply change the layout of my pages that holds portfolios so all pages under the “portfolios” menu slightly to simply have a full width image across the top using a color section, very simple.

so I did one, I changed the page “fullrotation.com/3d-animation/” and this is what I want the other portfolio pages to look like.
But to edit this page to look like this as I have been explaining I had to scrap the page and start again due to this bug or clone it first.

I took the very simple steps
1) add color section and move to the top
2) add background image
3) move the content from the old grid row to the color section and delete the old grid row
… BANG it breaks!?

These are the other pages which I’m trying to edit to have the color section across the top with full width image
fullrotation.com/motion-design/
fullrotation.com/character-creature-animation/
fullrotation.com/explainer-animations/

I can just start these from fresh new pages or clne the old one it still works, but annoyingly I have to delete the old ones and set a 401 content deleted for them, I should be able to simply add the color section and it not break.

If you try this PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH ANYTHING these pages are live
Many thanks, you still don,t get it maybe I could record a video of what is happening

Hi, sorry for small delay again as I had to set it up and record a screen capture with audio, so you can hear me speaking about the problem. I’ve created a video now please watch with audio (link in private link below)

I hope this clearly explains it now. I’m now having further similar issues, editing a page with grid rows and changing to color sections break the layout! I’m seeing elements that are NOT in the color section jump into them when previewing ?

I’ve tried deactivating all plugins, I hope you can now help me with this as I’m losing a lot of time trying to solve it
Many thanks

haha thanks!… anyway as I mentioned I’ve already tried deactivating ALL plugins. I also have had to manually update enfold via FTP for the last three versions as another issue the auto update does not work for me for ages now since I changed to a child theme. You can see all this in the above post history, I was advised to try a transients plugin but it did not work….. SO.. I have done everything suggested and it still breaks as per my video I uploaded.

Please can someone try and help fix my issues as its been going on for a while now, I really need to work on my site
Many thanks again for your time

I had these problems before ever installing a caching plugin. But Im trying again for you,
Ok so I’ve cleared the plugin cache for the whole site, then deactivated the plugin as you cant temporarily disable caching.

Then tried editing a page and hitting preview and its still the same, it breaks. I’m not publishing the changes just previewing obviously as I don’t want a messed up page live, any other ideas?
Thanks

Hey Andy… I’ve sorted it !!!! its working now !
I completely disabled caching as you suggested but it didn’t work, as I mentioned I had the problem before even installing a caching plugin.
I tried it all in an Incognito window and still didn’t work…

… so I thought I would try actually updating the page instead of hitting preview which I never wanted to do because I couldn’t risk having the broken layout be live and overwrite my page, I always hit preview to to check it looks ok before updating and making live. Well I took the risk and hit update instead of preview and it works !!!

I don’t understand why, because I have been using Enfold for many many years and NEVER had this issue, I ALWAYS preview before going live. But this is now frustrating as I can now never preview changes, I will now always have to update a page and risk it being wrong and losing what I had done. Is this a bug in Enfold?

Thank you for your patience through this

It happens on every single page, but at least I can edit now, just very frustrating… and risky putting every update live as I work
Thanks again for your patience

sorry for late reply.. I don’t know I only use Enfold
Thanks

Hey Sighthound I never fixed the problem but it was only with previewing. You have to just take a risk and click update to make the changes live and its all ok. It’s just risky and a bit frustrating in case something isn’t right. I would always normally preview before making any change live
Be interesting to hear if you find a fix, thanks
