Can't edit or change a text block in Avia layout builder

Hi swisskud,

Sounds like it could have been a previously active plugin, setting in your browser or a still active plugin that just had to have a setting change.

If the problem re-appears let us know and we can take a look again at that point.

Hi,

The content still exists in your text block though it is not visible, is that correct? You write something and then when you switch to a different area and then return you no longer see it? But if you save and view page you can still see the content?

Thanks,

Hi,

There is a reason for that, and it is hidden on purpose. It is hidden as a safety check to prevent recent WordPress users from messing up the output of the layout builder. If you were shown the output of the layout builder in the format that it is saved along with the contents of the text box, its just too easy to mess something up, and save it in the database. At that point it would pretty much destroy your website’s database, making it non recoverable. So to prevent that, this safety measure was installed. It’s an extra step that needs to be done, but compared to the pain and tears of frustration of accidentally sabotaging your own database, Kriesi thinks this safety measure is worth it (as do the rest of us).

There is a way to unlock it, so if you feel you understand wordpress enough to handle it without causing mass destruction, then add the code below to the very end of your functions.php file, but remember that with great power comes great responsibility! :) I wouldn’t use it unless you can code.

//set builder mode to debug

add_action('avia_builder_mode', "builder_set_debug");

function builder_set_debug()

{

return "debug";

}

Thanks,

Hi,

Please open up /config-templatebuilder/config.php and go to line 45. The directions are right above that line number explaining as to what needs to be done. Lets hope that this will do the trick.

Thanks,

I’m going to soft close the topic for now so that the original poster can respond if they are still having issues and to prevent any further derailing from the main topic :)
