I was building a new page with Site Origin and after adding a few rows and content the page completely converted to something that looks like classic and offered blocks, site origin was in text in what looked almost like short code at the the top of each block where a widget used to be. Help?

Hi Mich
Thanks for getting in touch.
It sounds like a classic page converted to the Block Editor. If you haven’t made any edits you could perhaps go to PluginsAdd New, search for and install the Classic Editor plugin and the issue should resolve.
Thank you for the reply. I was building the page out using the page builder by SiteOrigin. (Rows, widgets) Which is what I want to use. For no reason, the page all of a sudden switched to classic with an option for blocks. this is nit what I want. Why did the page just glitch and kick out the rows/widgets. I have had other odd happenings line this as well. The wordpress theme is SimpleCatch.
Hi, thanks for the update. Unfortunately, without building a cloned site setup or other similar steps, it’s hard to know what the error was that caused the editor to change from Classic to Block. If you activated the Classic Editor plugin, it will prevent this from happening again. If you encounter that is replicable through a set of steps, please let us know and we’ll take a look.
Have you been able to restore the page in question?
