I have changed my development URL from http://ghiandalocal to http://ghiandalocal.com using phpmyadmin and now I realize that all the layouts are lost, basically the pages are behaving as ordinary as if they were not designed with pagebuilder.
Maybe something was wrong in my search & replace?

    Not all pages but 30% of the pages have this defect

    I also have updated theme (EDUMA) and some plugins in the last week. Maybe one of this operations crashed pagebuilder? Is there some tables holding the layouts? I have some backups , I may recover some data from there if is there a db location.

    I have disabled all the plugins but siteorigin’s but the problem is there. I wish I could subscribe premium support but it is not allowed just for pagebuilder itself. I am in trouble!

    Hi ReeX,

    Sorry for the delay.

    So the issue here is that the plugin you used doesn’t support serialized data. This means that when you ran the search and replace it basically broke those fields. You may be able to correct it by running the search and replace again back to what it was but I cannot promise anything. I’m very sorry, but your data may be lost. :(

    Hi there, just to inform you that I have revovered data from a previuos backup. The data corruption occurred using phpmyadmin!
    Will never do this again!

    Curiosity: where do you store pagebuilder layouts? Postmeta?

  6. Alex S Staff 9 years, 6 months ago

    Hi ReeX,

    Ironically, phpMyAdmin cannot process data using PHP (which is required for serialized data). :( For reference, we recommend the excellent Duplicator for full migrations

    We store the data in the postmeta table, yes. Specifically under the meta_key of panels_data.

    Absolutely! I will use only Duplicator! Thanks :-)
