AVIA Advanced layout builder – DEBUG WINDOW – COPY PASTE ERROR

ENFOLD 3.3.2
WORDPRESS 4.3

I’m going to try replicate my problem.

Pages added and setup using THEMEFUSE HOMEQUEST
Changed theme
Appearance / theme / Activated ENFOLD PARENT
Everything as expected – with original themefuse shortcodes showing in the text editor content.

Edit Existing page – home page – added avial layout builder POST SLIDER

Wanted to copy the POST SLIDER from the home page to every other page – the easiest way to do this is turn on DEBUG MODE and copy the short code content from the Debug window and paste into the debug window on other pages and update the page.

Appearance / theme / Activated ENFOLD CHILD

Child functions.php file add action for debug mode

//set builder mode to debug
add_action( 'avia_builder_mode', "builder_set_debug" );
function builder_set_debug () {
    return "debug";
} 

So here inlies the problem.

If I copy from the home page debug window and paste in the debug window on a different existing page
[COLOUR SECTION]
[HEADLINE][/HEADLINE]
[POST SLIDER][/POST SLIDER]
[/COLOUR SECTION]
and update the page – the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
When I view the page the is a large space above the colour section.
However there is no element in the layout builder making this space.

Trouble shoot.1

EXISTING PAGE
If I rebuild the same avia layout builder elements on an existing page
update the page
the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
However the page view render still has a large space.

Trouble shoot.2

ADD NEW PAGE
If I rebuild the same avia layout builder elements on an NEW PAGE
update the page
the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
and the VIEW PAGE is correct! – we have success.

So I gather there is a BUG in rendering AVIA ADVANCED LAYOUT BUILDER pages that were built in a different theme.
Which get’s me thinking – why did the HOME PAGE update of the existing page using ENFOLD PARENT work, but updating a page using ENFOLD CHILD does not.

Trouble shoot.3
Appearance / theme / Activated ENFOLD PARENT
If I rebuild the same avia layout builder elements on an existing page
update the page
the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
and the VIEW PAGE is correct! – we have success.

so the REBUILD process works using ENFOLD PARENT

Trouble shoot.4
Appearance / theme / Activated ENFOLD CHILD
functions.php REMOVE DEBUG
If I rebuild the same avia layout builder elements on an existing page
update the page
the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
and the VIEW PAGE is correct! – we have success.

wow that worked!

Trouble shoot.5
ENFOLD CHILD functions.php ACTIVET DEBUG
If I rebuild the same avia layout builder elements on an existing page
update the page
the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
and the VIEW PAGE is correct! – we have success.

Trouble shoot.6
ENFOLD CHILD functions.php ACTIVET DEBUG
If I copy the debug window element paste on existing page
update the page
the LAYOUT BUILDER renders correctly in the Editor.
However the page view render has a large space.

SO I’ve narrowed the suspect
it’s copying and pasting from the DEBUG window into an EXISTING PAGE or a NEW PAGE debug Window.
the following code is injected into the page before av_section_1

<main role="main" itemprop="mainContentOfPage" class="template-page content av-content-small alpha units"><div class="post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2440"><div class="entry-content-wrapper clearfix"></div></div></main>

So I gather this is a BUG

Happy to report so – but this mean’s I manually have to build the same element on each page – over and over again all the page again!
OR
Create an avia Layout builder template and rebuild all the page content again!

DOH!
