I note from other threads and from personal experience that Page Builder and WP-Members do not co-exist (blocked pages are not blocked by WP-Members if built with Page Builder).
Can you advise if this will be resolved as part of Page Builder 2 development?
If YES I will make do with a quick and dirty solution till it is released. but if not then I will have to look for a more elegant solution. Alternatively is there a fix available to address this problem now??
Chris
Hi Chris
Thanks for reaching out.
The fix previously advised will be included in Page Builder 2.0.
If you’re referring to the fix offered in this child theme: https://siteorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/vantage-child-wp-members-fix.zip. It’ll be the same solution included in Page Builder 2. 0. It’s done in a solid manner. That is to say, I wouldn’t think of it as quick and dirty. It’s a function that offers compatibility between the two plugins.
Hi Andrew
I definitely didn’t mean to imply that your Page Builder 2 or the fix you mention is a “quick and dirty” one, but rather that I would have to make a quick and dirty fix myself until Page Builder 2 was available!
I have done that by making all my “blocked” page non- Page Builder pages – I was really only using Page Builder on them to make them look pretty and to put neater buttons on them. I have used a great plugin called Forget About Shortcode Buttons to insert the buttons instead. It adds a button feature to Tiny MCE editor.
I look forward to using Page Builder 2 to give those pages the very polished version that is achievable with your plugin.
Thanks for your quick response.
Chris
Ahh got you. Thanks for explaining. Sorry, I sent the child theme to a few customers and for some reason thought I had sent you one. The guys are working hard to push 2.0 out. Once it has launched please give it a test and if you feel motivated, let us know how it went for you in terms of WP Members.
Hi Guys
Its been a while but I just tested this again using Page Builder 2.1.4 and am sorry to report that if a Page Builder page is flagged as “blocked” it is not still being blocked by WP-Members – so whatever changes were introduced in PB 2 do not seems to work as I had hoped. My alternate approach (not using PB for restricted pages) is still in place – so it’s not a big issue for now but at some point I would like to use the flexibility of Page Builder for these pages if possible.
Chris
Sorry to hear this. Thanks for reporting. I’ll open a new bug report. Hopefully Greg will be able to take a look for PB 2.2.
Hi Guys,
I ran into the same problem. Since I am just a beginner with WordPress, can you help me with a solution to maintain the WP-Members functionality? Should I just create the pages using the text editor until the bug is resolved?
