3Hi John
Thanks for reaching out.
Is. there any change if you update Page Builder to the latest version? There should be an update pending at DashboardUpdates.
Andrew,
Now resolved. The main issue was the inability to access the WordPress Admin account due to the error. But after a database restore WordPress Safe Mode allowed access and the ability to update the Page Builder plugin. Updating to Page Builder 2.11.8 has fixed the problem.
Thanks for the quick response.
John
Super, glad to hear you were able to solve the problem! All the best with your website.
