PageBuilder hidden input fields stripped out when importing post content

By Peter Smith, 24 days ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 21 days ago.

I’ve used the WordPress tool to export my post content as xml and import it in to a new WordPress site on wordpress.com.
The import tool seems to have stripped out the hidden input fields that PageBuilder uses to store the embedded image data

e.g.
<input type="hidden" value="{"instance":{"uploader_button":"Select an Image","attachment_id…

WordPress says this is for security reasons.
Is there any way to transfer posts between sites which will preserve the embedded image data?

Thanks

Peter

    Hi Peter

    Thanks for getting in touch. Can you perhaps export the post in question via Page Builder and send us a copy to test with? You can do so as follows:

    – Edit the page/post.
    – Within Page Builder click Layouts > Import/Export > Download Layout.
    – Once on your desktop, upload the JSON file to WeTransfer, Dropbox or any similar online location and share the link here.
    – We’ll then run the core export/import process and go from there.

    Is there a way I can send this export to you privately so that I don’t have to post it publicly online?

    Hi Peter

    We offer email support as part of an active SiteOrigin Premium license; our free support is public. You’re welcome to create a test page and mockup the issue with placeholder data, that’ll work too.

    Thanks
