So basically I immediately understood that there is conflict of plugin styles when I inserted shortcode.
So eventually I though I would take special tab widget and not the whole sitorigin plugin for my job.
Enended up uninstalling. And there we go half of the many things dont work as should. Dropdown menus are hidden.
Spent 1 day fixing it… And am about to order backup from my server admin.
I forgot to convert to text……

    Hi Meelis

    Sorry to hear you’ve run into problems migrating from Page Builder. Is there anything you’d like assistance with at the moment?

  2. Meelis Tara 7 years, 7 months ago

    Yes! You should add to description that pagebuilders are not meant for exisiting ready and complex themes websitres with no compatibility guarantee.
    Pagebuilder is only for Starting website.

    Since even small trying can cause many problems later becauase of shortcodes mess and content lockin!

    Thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience, that certainly isn’t our intention. We’re a small team and work hard to provide our users the best experience possible.

    You can use Page Builder on populated sites but it would be best for new pages. Existing page content will be inserted into a single Editor widget when moving to Page Builder.

    If existing shortcodes were coded restricting them to theme only widget areas then they won’t work in Page Builder widgets. Most shortcodes do work in Page Builder though. And for sure, migrating out of any Page Builder plugin is complex.

    If theme styles are heavily impacting Page Builder widgets you can to go SettingsPage BuilderWidgets and disable the widget CSS class for Page Builder widgets, that’s often a big help.

    If there is anything specific you’ve like advice or assistance with, please let us know.
