Switch between page builder and visual view messes up page layout

Hi,

Nice plugin, but I’ve been having a few issues with the content of pages getting messed up
when I switch views back to the visual editor. all the sentences get spaced out etc.

Also when I’m in page builder, if I add a new widget, for example any text widget.
I can only view it in the html tab, the visual editor tab view doesn’t work.

I guess there must be some plugin conflict I dunno as I have 40 plugins enabled.

Any ideas thanks.

    Hi Sounds,

    To clarify, are you clicking the revert to editor button? If so, while that’s possible I honestly don’t recommend using that unless you don’t plan on using Page Builder on that page anymore as not all widgets can downgrade correctly.

    Regarding the visual editor tab, that sounds like the TinyMCE editor is filtering the HTML and is sadly to be expected. WordPress recommends using the text mode if formatting is important to you as changing modes could lead to formatting issues – reference.

    Hi,

    Yes I have used the revert option a few times,
    I know, I have noticed this before with other page editors,
    If you switch around from visual and html views, the page content gets messed up.
    But I sometimes go into the html view to add or fix bits of code.
    I’m gonna have to get use to not switching views, but I keep forgetting.

    Hi,

    I should post an image of my issue,

    When I’m in the page builder, I have the SiteOrigin text editor widget open,
    But I can only view the content in html view, I can’t switch to the view tab.

    I have 38 plugins, I only disabled half of them so far but the issue remains,
    I didn’t disable the rest because I’d have to reconfigure some of them.

    I found the conflicting plugin is ckeditor,
    And from what I read SiteOrigin doesn’t work with ckeditor.

    Can we add features to the wordpress default tynymce editor?
    The reason I use ckeditor is because the default one is missing a lot of features like basic text size etc.

    Should I install this or is it already default in wordpress?
    Black Studio TinyMCE Widget

    Or is there another editor that won’t cause conflict with SiteOrigin?

    I found another solution that seems to work, it adds extra functionality to the default WP editor,
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-edit/ then you can add other button like font size etc. to the editor.

    As an alternative to using Black Studio TinyMCE Widget, WP Edit puts functionality back in the default editor.
