I used the Page Builder Plugin to display auctions from eBay using a special code that I place in the text widget. It was working fine until I updated to the most recent version of Page Builder and now the actual code is displayed and not the eBay tool that was previously. Their may be an issue with using HTML in the text widget after the most recent update.
The visual editor displays the actual code as well and not the widget
Hi Andy
Sorry to hear about the hassle. Can you perhaps send through the plugin and shortcode info so I can try some local testing on my side?
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the response. The Page Builder widget I am using is the “Text Widget”. It is supposed to support simple text or HTML. This is the HTML I am attempting to use that worked before the newest update:
document.write(‘x3Cscript type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″ src=”http://adn.ebay.com/cb?programId=1&campId=5337591898&toolId=10026&keyword=Garrett+Stafford+Bobblehead&width=300&height=175&font=1&textColor=000000&linkColor=0000AA&arrowColor=8BBC01&color1=709AEE&color2=[COLORTWO]&format=ImageLink&contentType=TEXT_AND_IMAGE&enableSearch=y&usePopularSearches=n&freeShipping=n&topRatedSeller=n&itemsWithPayPal=n&descriptionSearch=y&showKwCatLink=n&excludeCatId=&excludeKeyword=&catId=&disWithin=200&ctx=n&autoscroll=n&flashEnabled=’ + isFlashEnabled + ‘&pageTitle=’ + _epn__pageTitle + ‘&cachebuster=’ + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000000 )) + ‘”>
Before it was coming up like an eBay widget but after I updated to the newest version it began displaying the actual code instead of the widget. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for the feedback. Please can you head back to eBay and re-create this. It’s missing an opening and closing script tag I think.
Yeah I did see that but when I put it in it seems to be removing it when I publish. Is there anyway to revert back to the previous version of Page Builder? I never had this issue with any previous version. It’s like I’m putting in the correct code but when I view it, it’s just the code and it’s taking out certain pieces. Thanks
Just figured it out! For some reason it was taking away the opening and closing script so I put two of each and it popped up correctly. Anyhow thank you for all the help! I love the Page Builder widget it’s helped my site tremendously
Thanks for the feedback here Andy, we’ll take a look at what’s happening with this for the future.
Let us know if anything else comes up.
All the best.
Andy, I’ve got exactly the same problem. I’ve tried duplicating various parts of the script tag(s) without success. Any chance you could paste in the entire code you’ve used, or be more specific about which parts you need to duplicate? Thanks for your help.
Hi Andrew, and Andy,
I have this issue as well, and I started to switch to another Page builder, but I was having a hard time with the new Plug in as the Site Origin Page builder is so easy to use.
I do have a work around that you can see on the following pages:
http://www.plasma-process.com/oxford-instruments/
http://www.plasma-process.com/plasma-therm/
What I did is paste the E-bay code into a new post, and then used “”Add Posts to Pages” Plug in by Arsham Mirshah at
https://www.webmechanix.com/resources/wordpress-plugins/add-posts-to-pages/
Then you can use the [add_posts category=”category-slug” tag=”tag-slug” show=”5″ h=”2″ full=”false” readmore=”Read more link text” img=”false”] command in a simple Text widget.
I use a category of the page, and then a tag called “e-Bay”
I hope this is useful.
