I have a few pages I’ve noticed that don’t have https for the images. So I went to edit them and am having a strange issue with SAVING EDITS IN TEXT BLOCK and SAVE
URL example:
/wp-admin/post.php?post=2497&action=edit
> loads the existing page
> click on the Text Block
> edit an image already saved for the post
or
> use the text edit to add the “s” to make it httpsclose the Text Block. Hit SAVE to the text block… then UPDATE for the WP Page.
Then it redirects to this URL
/wp-admin/post.php…but it’s a BLANK PAGE
…and doesn’t save the change.I have only noticed this after updating to 4.1 so no idea if this has been present longer. Also, no other server issues I am aware of. I have been using PHP 7 for months. This also works with basic page edits and saving those pages… but when you try to edit the TEXT BLOCK… and save – no dice.

Please send us a temporary admin login and login URL so that we can have a closer look. You can post the details in the Private Content section of your reply.

RikardJuly 22, 2017 at 7:22 am #826810Login details included. Main thing I am trying to use is the TEXT portion of the box to change http to https on an image. I can make the change but it wont save. Also confirmed on a post today too – after drafting and publishing it, went to change something in the text block and now I cant make changes. We’ve also used special shortcodes in our posts, but this is the first time I couldn’t edit a Text Block. Frustrating. Thanks.

Thanks for that. I’m not sure why that is happening but it might be due to the shortcode you are using in the Text Block. Could you try removing it to see if that is the case? If you want to copy the content to a new page then you can activate debug mode and then copy the shortcode of the page to a new page: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/enable-advanced-layout-builder-debug/
Best regards,
RikardJuly 23, 2017 at 6:56 am #828605I looked at that fix and think I tried it but it didn’t work… so just added this to my child theme functions.php file
//set builder mode to debug add_action('avia_builder_mode', "builder_set_debug"); function builder_set_debug() { return "debug"; }
… and nothing. Still get the blank page: /wp-admin/post.php
Don’t know what else is causing this but feel like I am chasing a rabbit. Not reassuring. What’s even worse is that I have tried to make changes on other pages too where I use Avia theme builder parts and same result.
I have almost 400 pages so copy, pasting as new… and renaming pages isn’t going to work. Please let me know if I am missing anything else. Thanks.

July 24, 2017 at 7:26 am #828890Thanks for your help Rikard. Consider this one FIXED (rather solved).
The issue is not enfold from what I can tell – rather a plugin – YOAST.
Just when enfold cam out with 4.1 so did Yoast begin their 5.0 release. Well, I never noticed but a handful of others experience this too with the white screen of death – hitting UPDATE and the post or page doesn’t update.
ACTION: Deactivate Yoast (5,5.01,5.02 and future releases if not fixed).
After updating the pages/posts, the ACTIVE the plugin again.
*It’s the only way I could get it to work.Thanks again for your help. Hope this helps others.

Thank for this tip with Yoast plugin. I have to confirm it worked for me just right now. I wasn’t able to update the page. After changing texts in blocks I saved everything without any error message but after reload all changes were lost. I tried to change the page with Yoast plugin deactivated and it worked! Then I reactivated Yoast.August 19, 2019 at 5:52 pm #1128973Hey Peter,
Great! I’m glad this worked for you.
Best regards,
