Error message when editing pages

I built this website for a client a few years ago and just logged back in for the first time since then. Is this what the current Site Origin editor looks like? https://imgur.com/XA11bP3 I prefer the block editor. How do I enable that when I don’t see that button? This looks totally unfamiliar to me. Some of the other pages have the block editor and say “Site Origin” in the page listing, while others have this style but do not say “Site Origin.” Also, I get an error when trying to add a new Site Origin block: https://imgur.com/Os8QAnQ What’s happening?

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi, thanks for posting.

    Some background; at PagesAll Pages there is an Add New button, next to it is a drop-down arrow. There you can choose whether you’d like to create a new Classic or Block Editor page. This behavior can be deactivated from SettingsPage Builder in which case all new pages would be Block Editor pages.

    Existing pages with Page Builder data should remain within Page Builder in the Classic interface. Those pages can be manually transitioned to the Block Editor should you wish to do so. Within the Block Editor you can insert a SiteOrigin Layout or SiteOrigin Widget Block.

    Onto your first screenshot; there is a problem on that page. Please, try temporarily activating the Classic Editor and then check that page, is the content now in Page Builder?

    Onto your first screenshot; please, troubleshoot this problem to resolve that error. If you’re using a caching/optimization plugin, clear it/them. Next, go to Plugins and temporarily deactivate all non-SiteOrigin plugins. Does that block error persist?
