Page Builder Gone on All Pages
Hello,
I have to transfer my site the right domain so what I did was to backup the database and transfer the necessary files of the site. After I transfer my site on the right domain and seems the front-end is OK but the when I edit the Page the site builder is not showing and only Visual and Text is only visible on the Editor. When I try to look at the bottom part of the wordpress Editor I can see the Site Builder and it is empty.
How can I bring back the Site Editor on my page layout?

3Hi Alen,
Okay so this looks to be a failed migration. Page Builder data is stored in a serialized format. This format is very, well it’s very picky and a lot of migration plugins (for unknown reasons) don’t account for this format (which is very common in WordPress itself). So a basic (as in method not ease) search and replace can and will break it. To correct this you’ll want to temporarily install a plugin like Better Search Replace and run a search for your site URL and replace it with your site URL. I know that sound weird but it’ll regenerate the fields and allow for it to work as expected.
Alternatively, I would recommend using a better migration method. We recommend the excellent Duplicator plugin.
how about I use wordpress exporter? would that work?
Hi Alen,
Awkwardly, that doesn’t support serialized data either. You’re going to have to rely on a plugin to either migrate the data or use the search replace method I explained to reserialize the data (read: correct the issue).
