    Hi Gavin

    Please ensure that Page Builder has been updated to 1.5.1, this update was required for the plugin to work with WP 4.0.

    If you have done this update and still experience a problem, please then de-activate all of your plugins except Page Builder and re-check. If the issue is resolved, re-activate your plugins one by one while checking the problem.

    Hi Andrew,
    I have as suggested disabled plugins but this does not help, the problem is intermittent and page builder sometimes appears and sometimes does not appear. Any thoughts?
    Many thanks for your speedy reply

    Intermittent is always tough to diagnose. Perhaps send through a set of temporary login details and your url to [email protected] and I’ll take a look ASAP. Please include a link to this thread in your email so I can reference the conversation. Thanks.

    Page Builder tab shows when selecting add new page

    Hi, I Work Here

    But not on existing pages? And to confirm, you tested with all other plugins off at one time?

    I have the same problem as Evans’.

    I also tried solutions you suggest and I’m still suffering the problem.

    The problem appeared with WP 4.0 Update..

    In my case, I can’t see the Page Builder tab on new page. I only can see it in the Vantage Home page setting.

    Please refer this image. http://thinknewzealand.cafe24.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/page-builder.png
    (Sorry for a few Korean words on it.)

    I’m using page builder v 1.52 now.

    Oh… It works only when all the other plugins off.

    But then I can’t use page builder with any other plugins..

    I think may be a certain plug in has a problem with the page builder..

    I’ll check it.

    I found it!

    “Comprehensive Google Map Plugin” was the trouble maker.

    After I delete it, I’m possible to use the Page builder again.

    Maybe there exist other trouble making plugins, Evans.

    You’d better deactivate plugins one by one and you’ll know which one is the guilty.

      Hi, I Work Here

      Thanks for the update Jeong-Hyeon. Comprehensive Google Maps is known to cause this. Greg will be in touch with the author ASAP.

    Hi, I Work Here

    Thanks for the details Gavin. Page Builder’s tab is loading and working correctly to a point.

    See the un-even padding around these Page Builder buttons. That usually hints at a plugin conflict. It might be worth, as a separate task, de-activating everything besides Page Builder, checking that these buttons have normal padding and then activating your plugins one by one until you see the problem again.

    Hi Andrew,
    Yes I can confirm i tested with all other plugins off
    What next?

    Jeong-Hyeon Bak, thanks for your imput but I do not use the plugin you suggest

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Gavin

    There are two points, sorry if I wasn’t clear:

    1. I see Page Builder working correctly on your site using the details you provided. It’s hard to say why you’re not seeing the same thing. Would you like me to send you screenshot of Page Builder working correctly in your admin? Perhaps you can re-check.

    2. My second point is that the Page Builder button’s aren’t padding correctly. This is another issue that points to a different conflict. That padding issue on the Page Builder buttons should resolve with all other plugins off. You can then re-activate theme one by one until the padding breaks as indicated in the image I posted above.

    Hi there,
    Just been running through the plugins and found conflicts with:
    All In One SEO Pack can you advise them of the conflict?
    many thanks

    So I have tried everything above. Everything is updated, deactivated then reactivated, checked for updates, etc. All my previous pages have no tab for the page builder. New pages have the tab but when I try to choose a page layout it runs forever and never loads. I use the Create theme by Themetrust.

      Hi LJ

      Sorry to hear about the hassle. The main focus of a plugin conflict test should be to see if the conflict goes away when disabling all other plugins, not so much the act of deactivating and reactivating plugins. Sorry if you understand this already, it’s a common misconception which is why I’m mentioning it :)

      ThemeTrust are as far as I know, using a forked version of Page Builder. You can confirm this by going to Plugins and checking the description of Page Builder. Does it say something like for…”theme name” etc. If so, it’s a forked version and ThemeTrust would need to try assist further.

    Hi Andrew,

    I share LJ’s issue since updating to WP 4.5 yesterday. Before that PB worked fine as it has for months.

    I did not add any new plug-ins in this time, I think it’s the WP update possibly.

    As I am working on another site I did not update to 4.5 and PB is still working fine, same plug-in setup on that site as the problem site.

    FYI: I still performed a plug-in deactivation protocol this time through as well, no avail.

    Thanks!

    For those using Create theme and having issues with PB editor tab missing since WP 4.5.x updates, please read this thread for solutions

    Hi Andrew
    I’m having the same problem as LJ and Matt
    All my previously created pages have lost the tab for Page Builder
    I can see a separate Page Builder box at the bottom of the editor.
    Unlike LJ, Add New pages also do not show the tab.
    I have checked everything is updated, deactivated all other plugins.
    I have added no new plugins.
    Everything was fine
    I use the Tesseract theme.
    Strangely my media library is showing empty? It also runs slow? It takes ages to try and load and then nothing?
    In Edit Page when I go from Text to Visual tab it takes ages too?
    But the page is viewing fine with all widgets and images there??

    Be really grateful for some help
