Very big Problem with Enfold / Advanced Layout Builder

Hi Rikard
Ok, we added the following code to our functions.php of the child theme:

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

Thanks very much.
Best regards
Mike

HI Rikard
Thanks very much for your analysis of the problem.
I edited the portfolio entry, removed all smilies and it worked!
But why it is not possible to use smilies?
We already had created another ticktet for that and there Yigit wrote, that this should be possible:

But it seems like you can save the content with smilies/emojis exactly once and then never again.
It’s probably an Enfold bug, isn’t it?
Best regards

Hi Rikard
First, i go for example to this page and search for the smiley I need:
https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_emoji.asp
Then, I go into the portfolio entry (with Advanced Layout Builder activated), open the textbox, switch to the “Text” tab and insert the code, i.e.
<p>This is a test 😛</p>
After that, I switch back to the “HTML” tab, save the textbox and then save the portfolio entry.
Best regards

Hi Rikard
In this portfolio entry we used the smiley with the code &#x1f603;
Also in another portfolio entry we have the problem that we cannot save it again. There we have smileys with the following codes:
&#x1f60a;
&#x1f609;
&#x1f615;
You can look into this post, see private content section.
Best regards.

Hi Ismael
We looked into this plugin emoji-shortcode. It is not very cool, because there are not all smilies and we do not see the Dec or Hex code of the smiley.
Can you recommend another plugin which is better?
But either way, this problem with the emoji’s is a bug in Enfold, isn’t it?
Best regards.

Hi Rikard
I don’t know, what is the problem, but you said, that the smileys are a problem and that we should use shortcodes for smilies, see this posts here:

So, let me know, if this is a bug of Enfold that we have problems with smileys…
Best regards

Hi Rikard
Just another idea how you can reproduce the problem.
Create a portfolio entry with a text box and an image for example.
There enter text with smileys. Use the smileys we also used:

&#x1f603;
&#x1f60a;
&#x1f609;
&#x1f615;

Then save the text box and the portfolio entry.
Then reopen the portfolio entry, edit the text box, save the text box and the portfolio entry.
And here comes the problem. After the first save with smileys it was never possible to save the portfolio entry again. The changes alwas were undone after saving.

It makes no difference if we activate or deactivate this option.

I tested it again.

Like that I could reproduce the problem:

• Create a portfolio entry
• Insert a text-box in the portfolio entry
• Switch to “Text” tab
• Insert a text with smilies (you can copy my text from here: https://support.yourchoice.ch/upload/text_with_smilies.txt)
• Save the text-box
• Save the portfolio entry

Like that, all is ok, the text with the smilies is there.

But when you edit the text again and save the portfolio entry, the change will be lost every time, you are not able to change the text anymore.

If you switch back to “HTML” tab at the first time, the saving will also not work at the first time.

It is very special.
On my side this does not work, the first save in the text mode works, after that, every save fails and returns to the old text values.
See my video, I made just now:

I do not use any caching plugin and the .htaccess file also looks normal, there are the default WordPress entries and some Redirect for people which use links of the old website
